POPEYE AND PROVIDENCE

In the year 2023 Mary, my second wife, was declining in health. She was under the care of hospice. During that time God was speaking to me but it was so slowly I didn't realize it was a holy Spirit Revelation or as I like to say an email from upper management. The word was Tai chi or slowly and as I observed and learned more and more I learned how powerful things that happen slowly change things of glacier movements changing the shapes of mountains. 10 days before Mary's death and I knew we were drawing close I got another insight from upper management in four words. I know I've said this before but it's worth repeating again. It's. All. Set. Up. At first I thought it only applied just to Mary's death but as things moved along and the transition to my new home in garden Court apartments here on East Pennsylvania avenue moved along, and then I watched the elections and God was answering another prayer that I had prayed for probably close to 20 years or more and that was a president who understood tarrifs. 

Matthew 24 began to speak to me and also Revelations 12 and then I understood maybe a little bit too clearly just what God was doing. God has always had his hand over his people and he protects them although he does allow them to suffer sometimes greatly for the children of Israel and their offshoots through the birth death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ who gladly called themselves the despised name of Christians. My daughters and sometimes even some other friends think that I might be delusional and my reputation of being so fearless somewhat contributes to that. But like Popeye I yam what's I yam.

DUMBASS MAN. ANGRY WOMEN.

As usual I have a slightly different take. This is because I understand two things. I understand the importance of keeping a marriage together. I don't claim to be an expert I just have lived to two wives consecutively not simultaneously. Politics is is like a marriage. For a long time and I'm not sure when this started, two parties have been living in separate homes. They used to get along so well. But because of the lack of understanding in the Republicans, they were acting stupid like dumbass men who think they can run their lives without any input from their wife. That's the story of the Democratic party since the time of Franklin Roosevelt . Thankfully Eleanor Roosevelt talk to him to doing some Democratic socialist things that actually turned out to be fairly successful. But men have to understand that the wife is pretty resilient and can put up with a lot of stupidity and autistic behavior from men or a man but when it comes to harming their children You're going to find out that you have to go to sleep sometime as Sisera did. Deborah was a judge during the book of Judges. I suspect she had already raised her children and was well known for her wisdom so she would sit under a shade tree and people could come and visit her and ask for advice. Now the name of the commander is mentioned and the enemy is mentioned but the wife of the Kennite tribe isn't named. When the attacking general was put to flight she was watching for his approaching and opened the door of her tent and talked to him into coming in and she fed him some wine and probably sour milk or cheese and he was very exhausted and sleepy and he laid down on the floor of the tent and as the Bible says, she nailed him. I mean literally, she nailed his head to the sandy floor of the tent. Huge sharp spikes kept the tents anchored in the unpredictable soil which could be sandy or gravelly depending on their location. And now you know why you need to keep your wife happy. It's for your own safety, dumbass.

MARCH 1ST, 2026

I am being sarcastic of course. Yesterday was March 1st. It truly came in like the old saying says like a lion and hopefully on March 31st it'll go out like a lamb. Actually, this started on February 28th. My birthday is on March 3rd. On August third, 2023, my second wife, and just so that you know, I waited my first wife died before I married my second wife Mary, I received two messages from upper management. The first oozed into my consciousness so slowly that I didn't realize it was a message from the Lord which is what I mean by upper management. In the Asian language is actually two words Tai chi. Tai chi means in English slowly. Something that older people understand is that when you do things more slowly the movement also makes you stronger. 

The second message came approximately 10 days before Mary's death. It was four words. It's. All. Set. Up. 

If you've read my book which is available on Amazon, THE RAIN PARABLES, you will understand that God has taken me on a journey that reveals the power of specific prayer. The reason why I say specific is because a lot of people think that prayer is just positive vibes or negative vibes and there is some partial truth to that. But God is not a force alone but an actual personality. 

Just in case I haven't said it, the four words were.. it's. All. Set. Up. 

To briefly review, God answered my prayer for a president who understood as Christ did the power of tariffs. And The words from management were referring to that. Along with my concern for the health of my second wife and the change that was coming about by her eminent death, I was living proof of both power of prayer and the power of God. 

That's enough for now boys and girls. Stay tuned.

SALTY LIME TRAVEL

I'm sending this post to my daughter, who argues politics with me and is sure that I am deluded. She won't come around to the conclusion that I'm right on everything until she hits menopause and then she'll be like Margaret Thatcher. She voted for Hillary but felt like God would strike her with lightning for doing that then she voted libertarian when Biden ran for president, and then Kamala Harris with a clear conscience? She agrees the border should be closed and that ICE should pull out the worst but she would have so many restraints on ice that they would not be able to do their job. She was formerly a legal secretary, then became a cop and married her training officer. She's also a travel agent and she's planning to go soon to Puerto Vallarta because she's observed that the violence there is greatly exaggerated. SALTY LIME TRAVEL AGENCY is her Facebook page and yes, like my current president and favorite president I never back down from a bully and try not to miss any opportunity to promote someone else that I love.

BLINDERS ON ENEMIES

It's amazes me how God puts blinders on his enemies, because they embrace death. His enemies turned their back on the responsibility of children, so they allow by law abortion and obscure it's savagery with gentle sounding words. That's why everything they touch turns to trash. The same goes for those who hate Jews and Christians so much that they embrace the death by suicide, much like the Japanese when they fought against us in world war II, believing that their discipline and savagery would defeat the softness of Americans and underestimated The fierceness of the farm boys and city kids who were taught by their mothers since the time of King George III to never back down from a bully. 

As always, your article was excellent, Don.

MATTHEW 24

Matthew 24 is a comfort during this time. You shall hear wars and rumors of wars. See that you be not troubled. That is the words of Jesus. 

All these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 

Jesus goes on to say, that this gospel must be preached unto all nations, and that is happening now. Starlink, the satellite organization of Elon musk is broadcasting X to the furthest reaches of the earth and I also know Facebook is reaching many nations. I know this because I have 2,000 followers from the great nation of Bangladesh and they are gospel workers and gospel preachers. 

So when I see aircraft carriers surrounding Iran which is a suicidal nation or should I say they are ruled by a suicidal elite I am not worried because all of these things must come to pass and I am totally certain that God is in control of these events. Stay tuned.

BEAT VEGANS WITH A STICK

Nothing irritates me more than the false science of veganism. I have resolutely stood against these idiots my entire life. I will grant that Democrats have a point or two where the conservatives are wrong, especially the small government idiots that will abandon children, but when they come up with the vegan ideas it's time to get the stick out and beat their silly heads until they have some sense. Later Gaters. 

TARIFF HISTORY

I am an Evangelical. This means that I am convinced that The preaching of the gospel is a divine imperative. But history teaches us that when evangelicals take the lead in areas beyond preaching the gospel we get ourselves into trouble.

This history lesson can be seen in the history of tariffs. Evangelicals, in their fight against alcoholism, made several assumptions that were dangerous and even destructive. They assumed forcing people by law to abstain from alcohol would be good for the general populace. They also looked at The reliance of our government on tariff income and decided that was a mistake and introduced progressive taxation. In their thinking, progressive taxation would allow the government to fund social programs that would benefit the poor, a well intentioned ideal. 

From a historical perspective, tariffs were blamed for the great depression, because around that time a great tariff was placed for our country, and we historically and mistakenly blamed that for the great depression. Admittedly, the tariff was severe and so may have been partly responsible. But the real problem was unregulated leveraged investment in the stock market. 

I have seen no other person point out that tariffs were taught by Jesus in the miracle of the gold coin in the fish's mouth, but it's there. Google it. 

I prayerfully hope that we will learn these important historical lessons. That's all for now, boys and girls.

REDEMPTION

I am not going to copy and paste but instead go off of my somewhat fallible memory. 

In Isaiah 53 it says and I quote all we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way. And the Lord has laid on him, Jesus Christ, the iniquity of us all. That's a paraphrase. 

He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. Surely he have borne our sorrows and by his stripes we are healed. 

We evangelicals are not perfect. We have made mistakes. But we cling to the cross and to the feet of the living and written word which is Christ Jesus. 

After 2,000 years of slapping us around and straightening us out, God has fused together two keystone species that now have one mind. The atheistic Jew and the Messianic Jew. Surprisingly, they now speak with one voice, but then, what God has fused together no man will be able to separate. Stay tuned, boys and girls.

WRONG ABOUT TARIFFS

TARIFFS CAUSED THE DEPRESSION? It's about time that line of b******* was laid to rest. At the risk of repeating myself, I prayed specifically that God would send us a president that understood tariffs. Tariffs is taught in the story of Jesus and the miracle of the gold coin in the fish's mouth. Use Google to find the scripture. That whole time of history is a comedy of errors. Evangelicals, bless their hearts, weaned us off of tariffs and introduced progressive taxation so that they the evangelicals could introduce prohibition. How did that work out for them? Well intentioned stupidity causes great damage. Stay tuned.

BANGLADESH

I'm going to pull from my memory Matthew 24. Jesus is talking to the disciples about the end times. He says, and I'm riffing, that we shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, but not to allow ourselves to be troubled by this, for these things must happen but the end is not yet. For this gospel must be preached in all the world and then shall the end come. 

It is obvious from a superficial observation that we've got a long way to go before we preach the gospel to every man and woman and child. 

My friends from Bangladesh that are poor gospel preachers and workers are doing a wonderful work for God. To my more prosperous friends, Don't be alarmed when they ask you to make a contribution. They have not because they ask not and they have learned to ask. I am trying to teach them how to do that without offending. That's not easy. But I remind them constantly to not wear out their welcome, which is mad dog rule number one. Most of them leave a digital trail that you can research and take your time doing it. They are letting their light shine before men that men may see their good works and glorify their father which is in heaven. Yes that's a quote from Jesus. 

Bangladesh is not the only country where many are preaching the gospel and you can research others that are doing good works and support them after careful consideration. 

I think that's enough for now boys and girls. Later Gators.

TAI CHI VENGEANCE

I am not a prophet, but I think I see where this is going in Iran. I'm going to label it Tai chi vengeance. The longer the US aircraft carriers hang around Iran and pause, the greater the mental instability of the ruling ayatollah's becomes, and they are not too stable to start with. Couple that with Donald j Trump's unpredictability. 

Of course, those afflicted with Trump derangement syndrome will find ways to blame Trump for everything that they don't like. This sounds so much like those who have Jew derangement syndrome. Fortunately, God has arranged a keystone species, atheistic Jews, that lend a clarifying effect to humanity. I have a new Jewish atheist woman friend on Twitter. There is also Bill Maher. That's enough for now boys and girls. Later Gators.

GOD IS LARGE AND IN CHARGE

The stats on my blog are very encouraging. The averages vary. This week has nearly 600 views. Singapore has the largest views, and USA is second, usually followed by Germany. Almost every week someone is sitting behind a well protected Mac pro in China or possibly two people. Although I discuss politics, in a sense I'm always preaching, because I'm always stating God is large and in charge.
