“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 1 Samuel 18:7

The Democrat Cult is proof you never want to belong to a cult. It is a manmade religion which believes in feelgoodism. If something makes you feel good then it is good and if it makes you feel bad it is a sin. The problem is man decides what is good and bad. The latest doxology of the religion which is completely impossible to keep up with is wearing the mask. The mask has no medical protection from the Chinese Covid, but the wearer believes she is a good person if she wears it making her feel really good about herself so she wears it without question.

The Democrat Cult is demanding adherence from believers and non-believers without deviation. Now that the DNC stole the last election with massive election fraud across the country stealing both branches of gummit, they are going to enforce and tax your worship. Just as many of the Blue dictators enforce the wearing of the masks to the obscene, the rulers behind the Iron Curtain are going to enforce the submission to their worship of the earth through their Global Warming fraud.

There is the same amount of proof of Global Warming being caused by CO2 as there is the mask working against the Chinese Covid. None of their religion is true, from the mask to the election to Global Warming to evolution, it is all a religion to make people religiously follow their dictates no matter how bad it damages their own life. If you believe you are saving mankind by wearing a mask, then you will wear it without question to the point of walking down the road by yourself or driving a car with a mask making you a good person.

It has gotten so insane on the Communist West Coast they have kids running track and cross-country wearing masks to the point one girl passed out and nearly killed herself making the state adjust the ruling to letting track athletes not wear it. You can bet those priests in the halls of state were feeling so virtuous watching children wearing their holy masks as symbols of their faith while choking on their own exhaled breath. How ingrained into the faith do you have to be to force kids to wear masks while playing knowing these pieces of cloth have zero effect on the disease but 100% effect on the symbolism of the cult. Now they are wanting them to take the vaccine even though they have zero chance of dying from the virus, how virtuous.

This all began with evolution and Darwinism. Even Darwin said if there was not fossil evidence of his theory within fifty years then it was probably wrong. It has been over 150 years and they have yet to find one verified transitory fossil let alone the missing link although AOCommie is close. Evolution is simply a 19th century explanation for how animals could be bred on a farm to make better animals as an explanation how animals could evolve up the ladder of life.

There are so many holes in the theory let alone the lack of fossil proof of this theory it makes the God miracle seem too simple. This theory has led to some the most horrific killing fields in history and so many Frankenstein theories including the famous Democrat Margaret Sanger’s abortion clinics in black neighborhoods as she said to get rid of the poor and weeds of society. She and her Democrat cultists have been trying to get rid of the black and brown weeds for a hundred years to make a superior race, yet we are supposed to believe a simple slogan means just the opposite.

If evolution really happened which came first the flower or the bumble bee? You cannot have one without the other, yet we are supposed to believe they both evolved at the exact same time randomly. That is like explaining where life came from. Disney and the Democrat cult would want you to believe after millions of years of an earth covered with molten lava, it cooled, and water magically appeared followed by a lightening bolt a primitive life appeared. Appeared from where? You have a perfectly sterile from a million years of ten thousand degree lava and life just appeared out of perfect sterility? This is a complete disconnect of biology, wear your mask and stop axing questions of science.

Now the Democrat cult demands America take a vow of poverty. They need to continue their destruction of the American economy through their war on Oil. They have despised the car since it was invented and now that they destroyed the Right to vote they are going to destroy the economy. Braindead Biden’s spending boondoggles are going to pour billions into every corrupt boondoggle while at the same time destroying the energy industry as well as all the transportation, building and agriculture leaving the gummit as your only institution left.

Just like the Democrat followers will religiously wear their masks proving they are good people they will religiously worship the earth following their belief man can affect the weather. This has been a pagan worship since the dawn of man and thanks to Algore are pushing it to an extreme lockdown. It is the perfect foil since you cannot disprove it so the scientists claim sometime in the future the manmade energy is going to cause the end of the world and everyone falls in line like a bunch of Muslims marching to Mecca only in this case they are dragging America off a cliff to make themselves good people.

This entire religion from evolution to masks is nothing but smoke and ash leading to hopelessness and depression. At what point do you realize man and manmade religions are evil? At what point do you realize everything is a political tool to force their followers to adhere to their dictates? At what point do you realize the party which claims to be so racially sensitive is being run by White billionaires symbolized by the whitest male on the planet? When are these people going to wake up from their wokeness and realize this cult is controlling their lives 24/7/365 and leading them to an empty hopeless future? Do BLM and Antifa look happy or fulfilled?

This is why Jesus is such a joyful answer to all of this emptiness. He does not promise you the world, he promises a future in heaven with fellow believers. He explains how the honey bee and the flower came to arrive at exactly the very same time out of billions and billions of years. He explains where life was formed as well as the miracle of life and galaxies which all point to a God who is greater their our comprehension. He explains why the earth will never warm by CO2 since he built a world with a radiator called the oceans and the plants which turn that CO2 into oxygen for his greatest creation, man and his animals. He loves all colors equally since they are all his creation from one parent Adam and Eve, it is man who makes them different and all brothers and sisters. He explains the vast complexity of the single cell and DNA as well as life, it is beyond man’s knowledge and only God’s how life is formed.

And only God would make the path to him so easy yet so difficult. You simply ask him to be your Savior and are born again into a new spiritual birth. The hard part is admitting you are not virtuous and are a sinner who can never be virtuous. Pride stands in your way since of course you are a good person since you wear your mask and care about the planet and and and. You have to get on your knees and admit you are evil and need someone like Jesus to clean your soul to make you new again which is the hardest thing most people can ever do. You need to let the Lord lead your life and free you from the cult and all of its controls and demands. So easy yet so difficult.

America has been at a crossroad for thirty years and is teeter tottering towards destruction. It is time to break away from the chains of the DNC cult and turn towards the light. Until Jesus happens, America will be dark and depressing while evil rules the land behind her mask.

Pray for revival

• Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.

  Yes I am compiling a Blog about the great pandemic of 2020 and how my country stupidly shut down the economy.  We will have opinions, political and cultural highlights, my personal experience, social media details, even TV reviews since I watch so much TV while in my home jail.  We shall, as always, end with a smile.

MAJOR POLITICAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(another update)




And so the lovely Kaitlyn Jenner will be running for Governor of California.  He will be running as a Republican AND a female!  

Seems California has enough votes to enact a recall election against current Governor, Gavin Newsome.

Heh.  Kaitlyn Jenner is a Republican like I am a Democrat.

Also, Randy Quaid has hinted that he's throwing his hat into the ring.

Biden's Address to Congress

I would like to post a nice piece about President Biden and the wonderful speech that he made to congress on 4/28/21.  However, word is that it was a terrible speech, full of lies.

He called for amnesty and open borders.  He hinted at new gun control soon.  He is going to fix the climate.  All the same old lies he's been telling.  He also took full credit for getting the Coved-19 vaccine out and distributed.

Yon descendants, this man will be part of your history books some day.  If they still have history books.  Know now, in real time during his presidency, that he was an awful president.
----------------------------------
MAJOR CULTURE EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(one more update)

Banning Meat for Climate Change, John Kerry rumor

It's all over the news, in loud whispers, that John Kerry is a traitor and has been revealing stories of Israel attacking Iranian sites to the Iran Mullahs.

So who is surprised that John Kerry would sell this country for his own benefit?  Remember how he testified before congress that the poor schlubs drafted to serve in Vietnam were murdering innocent people.  Why does America tolerate this man?

Oh, and speaking of climate change.....via John Kerry who flies his private jet while preaching to us peasants to save fuel......we hear soon red meat consumption will be severely limited.

Seems the cows are out in the field, eating grass and passing gas.  This all adds  too much carbon dioxide to the atmosphere thus, limit the steaks and limit the cows and thus, limit the nasty carbon dioxide.  

They will control us, how we dress, where we can go, now....what we will eat.
-------------------------------------
PERSONAL NOTES FROM ME RE THE PANDEMIC
(that my descendants may know how I handled it)

Corporal Keith Heacook 


His killer was black.  I had to search far and wide to learn this.

Don't know if y'all heard about the horrible death of Cpl Keith Heacook, kicked in the head when he interceded in an attack on and elderly couple.  

Heacook lived a few days from the damage to his brain but eventually the machine keeping him alive was removed.

He is a Delaware cop and gosh, you'd think President Biden would mention him, no?  Heacook died on the day of Biden's famous speech to congress.  He didn't bid RIP to a cop who died so heinously at the hands of a black man.  We hear all week about blacks being killed by cops but a cop kicked to death by a black man.  Not even a whisper/
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Police confirmed Wednesday that Delmar police officer Cpl. Keith Heacook, 54, has died following a brutal assault Sunday morning at the Yorkshire Estates community. 

The attack left Heacook, who his sister said wanted to "help people" as an officer, with a significant head injury.

At 12:48 p.m. Wednesday, hospital officials in Baltimore pronounced him clinically deceased, though he is still on life support, Delmar Police Chief Ivan Barkley said in an evening news conference. Heacook's organs will be donated. 

"I need you to know that even with his sacrifice, he’s still a hero for someone," Barkley said.

Funeral arrangements for Heacook will be made in the coming days.

REVIEWS TV SHOWS
(since I watch so much TV, not for my descendants)

Rebel




Inspired by the life of Erin Brockovich today, Annie "Rebel" Bello is a funny, messy, brilliant and fearless legal advocate who will win at almost any cost.

https://abc.com/shows/rebel, Thursday, 10 est

Katie Sagal is the star of this new TV series.  She plays a part based on Erin Brackovich, the woman who took Pacific Gas to court and won millions.  Although I later learned that this court case might have been totally wrong.

Rebel is her nickname.  She has a bunch of kids by a bunch of different fathers and ex-husbands.  I find that story line very confusing and not at all amusing.

People that fight back are considered heroes of a sort.  But they are not always correct and too often they hurt more than they help.  Of course people are writing these stories and they can have them end up the way they want.

Rebel, so far, always wins her cases, whether she's taking big corporations to court for bad ingredients or fighting to change a school curriculum. 

It's a totally average show but it doesn't bore to tears.

Check it out but keep the erroneous Erin Brockovich in mind.

-----------------------------------
EDITORIAL
(My opinion for my descendants)
What Schools Should teach, granddaughter/taxes and banking

In fact it was my granddaughter who first brought up the issue of what she really learned in school.

"Mom-Mom, they need to teach us taxes in school," she said to me one night.  "I am only working at McDonald's and I don't know how many to claim or even how to do my taxes."

Her words struck me dumb.  Of course they should teach how to handle your taxes.  Myself, a lifelong payroll processor, often mourned that schools didn't properly teach students about their paychecks and how they are processed.

LIVING!

It's all about life, eating, sleeping, keeping health....how to do your damn taxes.  Instead schools are now teaching about all the racists in this country or how to avoid the cops.

Teachers today present themselves as dumber than hell. 

I bet most of them don't know how they get paid or how to properly handle their taxes.
-------------------------------

THE FLY ON THE WALL


Yes I am a fly and yes I also Blog.  I tend to wander around among the politicians and hear their conversation.  Because I am a fly beneficial to humanity, I share that which I hear. Bear in mind my spelling.  I am, after all, only a fly.

The Climate Change Meeting

I have been to a couple of climate change meetings in the big office building but didn't much like them.  My disdain is mostly because they rarely serve donuts but as a fly I do not understand this human thing they call Climate Change.  I only know to end my maggot career when the weather gets warm and lay my own beloved maggots as the weather chills.

"We've got to get as many things passed in as many countries as we can before they find out about the stolen election and do something about it and/or 2024 when Biden will likely not get elected."

Valeria, as she often is, was in charge of this meeting and since they did get some donuts this time I thought I would listen in.

"What are some of your options?" a Chinese fellow asked and if a fly could smile, I did.  The Chinese are always in attendance at these meetings.  Also the Iranians and the Russians.  The Europeans sometimes show up but this human thing called climate change seems to be limited to Muslim and oriental countries.  And, of course, America.

This fly wonders, are these the only countries, along with America, experiencing climate change?  My answer came at the next sentence.

"We know there's no such thing as climate change," the Iranian Mullah said.  "But we have to work at convincing the rest of the world that the weather is changing and we have to work hard at."

"We plan on taxing carbon dioxide emissions based on a country's wealth and smoky air.  Thus China will continue to be considered poor economically and also India.  They will not have to pay the climate change tax but America sure will," Valeria said.

"And most of the money will come to us, the poorer countries with smoky air," an Indian fellow sitting in the back shouted.

A crumb suddenly fell to the floor and that became the focus of this fly's attention more than the silly human concept of climate change.

But since I heard it all, this fly shares the plan with yon human readers.

Great analysis on Mask ideology all designed to control our every move as the O’ Biden clan moves ever so close to socialism/communism. Sorry for them Trump is moving ever so close to jailing all of them and being back in office. It will happen.
Meanwhile the vaccine continues to take it's toll on Americans.
Behind all the mirrors is the WHO,World Health Organization. These clowns are the standard bearers for many a medical issue including covid19. Maybe it's time we took a quick look at who runs the WHO?
But first a word from dr. McCullough who has devoted over a year to figuring out how to treat covid19 for outpatients. https://libertysentinel.org/covid-vaccine-killing-huge-numbers-warns-leading-dr-mccullough?utm_sourc

https://libertysentinel.org/covid-vaccine-killing-huge-numbers-warns-leading-dr-mccullough?utm_source=wnd&utm_medium=wnd&utm_campaign=syndicated

Dr. Peter McCullough who has a medical degree, along with many other degrees, decided to redirect his career to covid seeing nothing for out-patients. He put together a team of doctors here and in Italy. They wrote two papers that showed how to reduce deaths with covid they use multiple drugs in combination
To kill off covid.4-6 drugs are used he testified in several state senates, its for home treatment.
Regeneron,vitaminc,d,zinc,coriciden,hydroxychrloquine,ivermectin,inhalants,pomocourt,adult aspirin for blood clots, anti-thrombotic drugs. The treatment saves thousands of lives. Estimates are half of those lives lost could have been saved with his treatment process.
Vaccine approval by the FDA is special with no approval by FDA who will not allow its employees to have the vaccinations.
80% rate of reactions to the vaccine which may or may not protect you from covid19.
Normal flu vaccinations get 20 deaths.Any vaccine that gets over 50 should be taken off the market!! Current vaccine has had several thousand deaths it should be taken off the market,most deaths occur in days 1-2 or-3.
“Coalition of all media will not allow any type of negative information on covid”.
Lots of blood clotting on two vaccines there is a commitment to mass vaccination which will create the largest numbers of vaccination deaths ever.
WHO is used as the standard and the WHO is run by a former terrorist.
McCullough thinks covid19 was a mfg. virus.
...........................

Time for a look at who really runs the WHO. Here is who Teddy Tedros really is courtesy of brietbart;

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/04/10/5-shocking-facts-about-who-chief-tedros-adhanom-ghebreyesus/

The director-general of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)influenced World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, is not a medical doctor and is a member of a Marxist-Leninist Ethiopian political party that analysts have listed as a perpetrator of terrorism.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has said it is “reevaluating” American taxpayer-funded assistance to the WHO, a United Nations organ, over its lackluster response to the raging novel coronavirus pandemic and its relationship with China. The coronavirus originated in China's Wuhan region.

On Wednesday, the WHO director defended the international organizations’ response to the viral outbreak in response to criticism from Trump, claiming that the nation of Taiwan had been instigating a campaign of racist slurs against him without providing evidence.

Although U.S. funding for the WHO reportedly exceeds China's financial contributions more than ten-fold, Beijing appears to maintain more influence over the U.N. entity.

Below are five worrisome facts about the man leading the WHO amid the coronavirus pandemic that had infected over 1.5 million people and killed over 90,000 across the world as of Thursday afternoon:

Tedros Helped Beijing Hide the Severity of the Chinese Coronavirus Outbreak

On January 14, months after health officials are believed to have detected the first case of the virus in China on November 17 of last year, the WHO was promoting a Chinese claim via Twitter that there was “no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission.” Meanwhile, the disease was spiraling out of control. The WHO tweet came a day before the first case to reach the United States reportedly flew from Wuhan to the state of Washington.

Tedros is Not a Medical Doctor

The WHO director holds a Doctorate of Philosophy in Community Health from the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom and a Master of Science (MSc) in Immunology of Infectious Diseases from the University of London. China reportedly supported Tedros’s rise to lead the WHO in 2017, even though he was not trained as a medical doctor.

The WHO Director is a Member of the Leftist Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF)

As a member of the violent and powerful communist Ethiopian political party known as the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF), Tedros rose through Ethiopia's autocratic regime as health (2005-2012) and foreign minister (2012-2016). Analysts, reportedly including American government officials, have listed the TPLF in the Global Terrorism Database.

When it came to power in 1991, TPLF was in the vanguard of that year's overthrow of Ethiopia's military regime under dictator Col. Mengistu Haile Mariam. TPLF played a role in Ethiopia's 1980s famine a few years after launching its protracted rebellion against the military government in 1975. The party is also reportedly linked to other gross human rights violations.

Tedros Helped Indebt Ethiopia to China

Ethiopia has borrowed billions from China, reportedly including more than $13 billion during Tedros’ tenure as foreign minister between 2012 and 2016.

An editorial published by the Hill in mid-March pointed out:

We note China's connections to Tedros’s homeland of Ethiopia, now called East Africa's ‘Little China’ because it has become China's bridgehead to influence Africa and a key to China's Belt and Road initiative there. Indeed, China has invested heavily in Ethiopia.

Citing the coronavirus threat last month, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed issued asked the international community for immediate debt relief. China has become Ethiopia's largest trading partner, thanks in part to Beijing's’ investments in the African country while Tedros was foreign minister.

Tedros named Robert Mugabe a WHO ‘goodwill ambassador’

In October 2017, Tedros named Mugabe a “goodwill ambassador” to help combat non-communicable diseases in Africa, provoking outrage from medical professionals and human rights groups. At the time the New York Times noted:

The role of good-will ambassador is largely symbolic, but rights groups were scathing in their reaction to the symbolism of giving it to a man whose leadership, they say, has led to the collapse of its health service and major rights abuses in Zimbabwe.

Ultimately, Tedros rescinded his decision to name Mugabe “goodwill ambassador” in the wake of criticism.

Great story on Heacock Fish.

Here"s more from the blaze:

https://www.theblaze.com/news/delaware-cop-beaten-dangerous-scene-alone

Authorities arrested a 30-year-old suspect in connection with a brutal attack on a Delmar, Delaware, police officer.

The suspect also reportedly attacked two elderly neighbors in what is believed to be a related crime.

The attack comes as the department suffers a lack of funding and available resources for police and law enforcement officials.

What are the details?

Police arrested Randon Wilkerson early Sunday morning after he reportedly bludgeoned a police officer during what a law enforcement source told Blaze Media was a blindsiding sneak attack.

A news release from the Delaware State Police said the incident unfolded following a call over a fight in a house in Delmar's Yorkshire Estates community.

Wilkerson, the DSP reported, was reportedly fighting with other residents of the home and destroying property, which prompted the initial call. Dispatchers soon received a second phone call reporting that the elderly victim and his wife had been attacked by the same suspect.

Following the initial call, Cpl. Keith Heacook of the Delmar Police Department arrived on the scene around 5:15 a.m. local time and was believed to have immediately met with a physical confrontation.

A source — who has worked in local law enforcement for more than two decades and requested anonymity — told Blaze Media that a missed 10-minute welfare check triggered dispatchers to send more officers to the scene to check on Heacook.

When a Wicomico County Sheriffs Office Deputy and a Delaware State Trooper arrived at 5:50 p.m, the source said that the two reportedly discovered an unconscious Heacook in a pool of blood, having apparently been bludgeoned with his own baton, which was missing from its holster.

The source told Blaze Media that Heacook — who was believed to have been overpowered — Heacock was repeatedly hit so violently that there was a dent in the officer's forehead.

The source added that six other people in the home reportedly witnessed the attack on the officer. None of the witnesses, according to the source, called authorities over the attack, and instead locked themselves in an upstairs room of the home. One of the witnesses reportedly said that they saw Wilkerson "throat-stomping" the officer during the attack. ..............

Here's the killer photo from a 2015 arrest evidently he's well acquainted with the legal system:
