Not meaning to be disrespectful, but President Biden’s State of the Union could only be viewed “projecting a vision of strength” inside a day care center. Pity the man.

Newly elected member of UK Parliament, George Galloway: “If my aunt had a beer, she’d be my uncle.” :rofl:

It may anger many of you, but here is an exchange this past week between journalist Glenn Greenwald and George Calloway, newly elected member of UK Parliament. Please open your mind for a split second and read it:

G. Greenwald: So, I have a lot more questions but with respect for your time, I just have two more that I would be very angry with myself if I allowed you to leave without answering. So, one of them is actually something that is related to something you just talked about, which was if you look at discourse in the West before 2016, even President Obama often said that Russia should not be regarded as a grave threat to the West, that it is a country that has an economy smaller than Italy and, at best, sort of a regional power that is nowhere near a threat to the United States. And after 2016, with the approval by the British people of Brexit and leaving the EU, and then especially the defeat of Hillary Clinton by Donald Trump, suddenly everything got blamed on Russia, including the approval of Brexit and the victory of Donald Trump. And then after that, it led to this notion where Russia was back almost to being at a Cold War status, where we have to do everything possible to weaken the Russian state and even go to war with it. We’re now more than two years into this war in Ukraine, where Europe and the United States are sending hundreds of billions of dollars to no effect. Ukraine is losing that war. Everyone can see the same trajectory of that war as we can. What do you think is the real reason that the United States and then their puppy dogs and the British political class that follow along, are so willing to fuel this war and to keep it going, even to the point of having prevented a negotiated settlement early on in the war? What is the motive for why they’re so desperate to keep this war going?

George Galloway: Well, I would have opposed this Russo-mania even if I didn’t like Russia because it’s not in our interests, and it hasn’t been in the interests of anyone in Europe, to be effectively one step short of war with Russia. But because a man of my age and class not only does not hate Russia but actually has a great deal of respect and admiration for it, I find it utterly maddening and maniacal. If it were not for the Russians, we’d be having this conversation in German. And that’s just a fact. However, many times the public opinion in your country and mine are told that the Americans won the war, the British won the war and the Russians won the war at massive cost and sacrifice. So as someone born in the shadow of the Second World War, I have to respect Russia because my parents and my grandparents taught me to. Because they lived through what happened and what might have happened but for the sacrifice and the victories of the Red Army. And as it happens, I’m a great admirer of the Russian people, their language, their culture, the natural beauty of their country, the biggest country in the world, Moscow and Saint Petersburg, two of the greatest cities in the world. I just think that when you’re not doing so well yourself, as neither Britain nor Germany, nor France, nor Italy, nor the United States are doing, that this is all a kind of transference. Look over there. Look at the big bad Russians. Look at Putin. Actually, if you look at Putin and compare him with the moral and political dwarves that rule our countries, actually many people would wish they had a leader like Putin rather than Joe Biden. Who’d want Joe Biden rather than Putin, who would want Rishi Sunak rather than Putin? So, it’s not only that it’s not in our own interest. It is terrifyingly dangerous. These people, these fools like Biden, have led us right to the door of World War III and the end of all human life, all life on the planet. I’m so old, Glenn, that I lay in my bed, scared, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, that the world was going to come to an end. I had my parents discussing in hushed terms that the world might be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust. And now we’ve got to again. And for what? Whether what side of a line a city in eastern Ukraine might lie on what has been on in four different countries in the last 100 years. You’ve got children. I’ve got children. We’re not prepared to let our children die for a city in eastern Ukraine. Sorry. We’ve got other, more important things closer to home to struggle for.

That was too funny. But I thought he said “beard”?

So, I opposed the overthrow of Colonel Gaddafi, not because I loved Colonel Gaddafi. I never met him. I never loved him. But I can never accept an Arab, an African country, having its regime changed by a motley coalition of Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Mr. Sarkozy, and David Cameron. I can’t accept that colonial powers should be able to push around colonies or even their former colonies. I am against mass uncontrolled immigration. In fact, only Trotskyists and liberals are in favor of it. Mass immigration beggars the country from where the immigrants are coming, depriving them of the best and brightest and most hardworking people in their countries, and it drives down wages and living standards conditions in the countries to which they emigrate. That’s obvious. I’m the leader of the Workers Party. If I was negotiating with my employer, and my employer could tell me there’s 10,000 people standing at the gate ready to take the jobs of your members on less money, so you better climb down. I mean, you don’t have to be, you know, Maynard Keynes to understand the simple economics of that. People say—people on the “left”, in quotes, say—well, that’s because we live in a capitalist society, etc. Well, if my aunt had a beer, she’d be my uncle. We do live in a capitalist society, and I have to defend my members here and now, and I have to defend the poor countries who have their workforce, skilled workforce… where I live, for example, almost all of the National Health Service people have come from Africa and Asia. Well, what about the patients in Africa and Asia? Why am I being able to enjoy the health care of these healthcare workers? Because there has been this mass, uncontrolled immigration. So, racism is a different matter. Once somebody is in here, in this country, I will give my life’s blood to defend their rights as equals within this society. But that doesn’t mean I want to abolish borders. As I say, only the ultra-left and ultra-rich people want to abolish borders.

So if you listened, it may have gotten it wrong, right? AI transcription and all. But I do think it’s funny as it stands.

This came by email today in connection with something else, and I thought to share it with those of you who remember our dear Hannah born at home in Pardeeville. Her birth was celebrated by our secretary and elders sitting outside at a picnic table in the shade of maple trees awaiting the joyful news who, upon receiving that news, went inside and pealed our church bell.

Lucas and Hannah are expecting their eighth in a couple weeks, with Mary Lee here to help w/birth childcare. The joy returns! God is good to us all the time. Love,

You a young man wants to improve your manhood? Then learn to protect Christ’s sheep. In your church are parents killing their unborn, but they don’t know it. Tenderly/firmly show them. Get “Abortion and the Church” and grow your manhood by reading it https://amzn.to/3TuPHWC

Excerpt from “Abortion and the Church”:

"Today, the male authority that God established when He created Adam first, then Eve, has been repudiated, and yet it is notable that mothers who pay doctors to murder their little ones are viewed as the victims of their boyfriends, husbands, fathers, or a patriarchal society. If there is any moral judgment involved in any abortion, it is the condemnation of bad men who force good women to kill their children. Society is condemned for robbing women of power and self-determination, forcing them to commit bloodshed in order to establish their power and self-determina- tion. Personhood begins with freedom of choice, and what freedom of choice do women have if they are unable to rid their own bodies of these parasites clinging to their wombs?

"In fact, the ability to choose abortion is said to be central to women’s self-determination. Women cannot truly be free and equal until they are granted this fundamental freedom of choice. Feminists demand that their sex’s life-givingness (Adam named his wife Eve, which means “living one” or “life-giver,” “because she was the mother of all the living.” Gen. 3;20) must be subject to the mother’s choice whether or not to allow this life God has placed in her to continue. This is necessary to establish women’s equality and personhood.

"This is the grotesque reasoning feminists have used to reduce mothers to the very status they had previously condemned. In order to gain moral agency on a par with men, feminists demanded women be granted the right to kill their children. And yet, if women exercised this right, they were to bear no guilt for it. Rather, they must be judged to have killed their children under compulsion. They are free of any responsibility for the murder of their little ones they paid to have killed.

"But when guilt is denied, repentance is also denied. What is purportedly done from respect for women results in barring women from confessing their sin to the holy God and receiving forgiveness through the mercy and love of God in Jesus Christ. If women commit no crime against God’s law when they kill their babies, the only logical conclusion is that women who kill their babies commit no sin subject to God’s law either.

“Women must not seek God’s forgiveness for shedding the blood of the children God gave them as His blessing, and the civil authorities must enact no laws testifying to their maternal bloodguilt.” (“Abortion and the Church,” pp. 53-54)

The prevalence of death by starvation and dehydration is awful. It is murder. Same with opioids suppressing vital functions. On the other hand, it isn’t murder to withhold tube feeding when death is IMMINENT & INEVITABLE. Make SURE your mother/father are not murdered by starvation or dehydration.

THAT is murder. Love,

For more on this: The Christian view of euthanasia... | BaylyBlog

Presumably as technology advances, so too will our ability to extend the lives of those who otherwise would be dead by natural means, perhaps even indefinitely. For instance, my Father-in-Law, who tragically died due to injuries he received in a motorcycle accident a few years ago, had blood pumped directly to his brain on the surgical table while the doctors were trying to save him. In theory, as long as the supply was available, blood could have been pumped indefinitely and his brain would have remained alive. Where do we draw the line on such unnatural interventions? (Please know I’m not asking this in the spirit of a “gotcha” question, as I agree with the points of your statement you wrote in 2016)

Good question, John. This is precisely how the medical ghouls see food and water. “This man who had motorcycle accident should not have his life prolonged. He’ll never ride a motorcyle again, so stop feeding him already. He’s not even conscious, so dehydrate him.”

We owe care, but the ghouls have redefined food and water as treatment in order to deny they/we owe them to our neighbor. Read Westminster Standards on Sixth Commandment and think carefully. Pray.

Because a man will live many years on a feeding tube does not mean it is a crime to feed him. We may agree we don’t want a man to be on a ventlator for years (as Adam and I agreed), but the normal place where there is need is food and water, and that right there is where we need to focus our attention (along with opioids) because that is where/how Christians are constantly complicit in murder. Love,

This is from your quote from George Galloway, I think.

While this is true in many cases, President Biden’s open border has created a Mariel Boatlift of hemispheric proportions. Any judge or magistrate in the western hemisphere would be a fool not to send criminals through America’s gaping maw. Supposedly Venezuela’s murder rate dropped last year, and it’s hard to imagine that the open border isn’t part of that.

absolutely yes i agree

Speaking of ventilators, this story gave me pause. I doubt anyone would initiate his living in an iron lung today, but are we right?

Since he was eight, Alexander lived in an iron lung. 70 years. When medical ghouls talk abt “quality of life” and work to get family not to give food and water to older parent, remember Alexander.

No man is an island. May he rest in peace. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/13/health/paul-alexander-polio-iron-lung/index.html
