THE ICE DEPORTATION S### SHOW

 

Wednesday, December 10th, 2025 

Today's post will be about ice. Not the kind of ice that you stick in your refrigerator but the other ICE.

I am a baby boomer because I was born in 1948 and instead of being raised in the small town of Manhattan Illinois, my mom and dad moved next to portage Indiana and then Gary Indiana. Yes that Gary Indiana from 76 trombones. 

Since I was born in 1948 and I am 77 years old and I'm still alive, I think, I am now wide awake and alert and enjoying the s*** show of politics in 2025. 

So unless you have been living under a rock let me sarcastically refresh you with what's going on. Donald Trump was elected president. FJB and his minions at the White House decided to experiment with open borders, being woke, free Palestine idiots and other feral Muslims, girls with penises and women's sports, and on and on at nauseam. 

To totally review everything would be tedious and long-winded and that is something I will never be hopefully. Instead we will focus about the popcorn show on ice and the karens that hate them. 

If you would have had stock in pepper spray, you should sell now. My daughter in her training to be a police woman was forced to take pepper spray to the face and all the men gathered around to watch her meltdown but of course she's sort of a duplicate of her father in her own way and she didn't cry. 

If you go to YouTube and put in the search engine pepper spray and Karen's personally I find this some of the most entertaining events on Earth. Unfortunately for me because we're all human and we learn as we go, I haven't seen any pepper spraying for a couple of weeks. 

Instead the new reality TV is being replaced with the New York City cops being very well orchestrated to escort ice from one location to another and they gorgeous German police manhandling and woman handling the pro Palestinian protesters and other angry feral Muslim groups including a large group of Pakistanis who are facing rejection for their very very bad behavior towards older people in Germany. 

Since this is an ongoing situation that is changing daily and I am being entertained in my man cave and posting my observations to a very wide internet audience, I think I'll wrap it up now. Tai chi. God's grace is amazing. Stay healthy. Later Gators.

HOG IN A MUD PUDDLE

My dad, my uncle, and I held a joint revival at LaPorte Indiana Church of the Nazarene. 
My Uncle John, who was on Omaha Beach before Dawn removing obstacles so the landing craft could land safely. He was trained as a frogman the origin of Navy SEALs.

First I have to say a few words. 
Time for my daily comment. Delight yourself in the Lord and He shall Grant unto you the desires of your heart. I did not desire that both of my wives would die before me. Satan is still under contract and he is obviously very pissed at me probably because of my name William Michael which means burden bearer which is the same role as Christ and also because of Michael the angel that had to kick Lucifer's ass out of heaven and when William Michael ditmer the first wrong spelling but you know what I mean came into existence and and I'm guessing 1923 polio was in full swing. But wild child William under the tutelage of his oldest brother and only brother John finally got back on track and became a gospel preacher just like his older brother. Now I'm going to make an outrageous statement but I strongly suspect Satan poured his wrath on anything this last 20 or 30 years named William Michael. May I illustrate. William Michael ditmer III died in North Dakota and was buried on the plains on Frozen ground. Wendell and Michelle kind of a feminine version of William Michael. Thank God her mother intervened and refused to name her Wilhelmina Michelle. At the age of 16 my youngest daughter, who was homeschooled, was driving to her business that a lady and her had started in the older ladies basement when a car crash happened and she was hospitalized for months but the prayers of her mother saved her right on the spot where Lynn was looking out the back door and heard the crash. To continue with my thesis that Satan is pissed at me, when Gwendolyn silly a i had her second child? Old age named William Michael daily with 7 or 10 days William Michael Daly went to be with the Lord. My first wife died of cancer and she was my right hand man before we were married 40 years. And then I met another passionate woman who was super excited about marrying a preacher but she came down with Alzheimer's and died on August 3rd before 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning in 2023. And I became afflicted with lymphedema severe enough that I had to go to the wound care center after a valiant fight by my daughter we have finally somewhat mastered this tedious disease. I am long-winded this morning but I wanted to finish this story. Yet here I sit after fighting a lifetime of refusal to sit at a desk I am quite content posting to my little congregation of possibly 10,000 or more encouraging them to keep preaching the gospel 1100 of them being in the absolute poverty stricken Nation of Bangladesh and at the same time I am slowly wooing the very successful business people on Twitter and I intend to build Bridges of international charity slowly, Tai chi, over the next few exciting years. Thank God my very specific prayer for a president with financial understanding is now in office and his right hand man Elon Musk is throwing up satellites like God threw up Stars and fighting for the free speech amendment and I'm reasonably certain I've gotten into every nation myself other than Mongolia and possibly Iran for I am a statistical freak and I have seen over 200 countries named while stalking the statistical world of my blogs. I think I finally finished and everybody said thank God. But after losing two wives and being semi-afflicted I am as happy as a pig in a mud puddle. Later Gators.

YOU'RE WELCOME, AMERICA.

 This post was saved in drafts and as I was cleaning out the draft file I noticed it was completed except for pictures and now blog post doesn't put any pictures in so we might as well just send it on it's Merry way. Enjoy

I roared with laughter again when I came to the cat poll, not to be confused with the polecat. And yes, I said that joke yesterday but there's enough churn in this group that some will laugh.

As for the next Democratic candidate that has the potential to become president and yes I sense some of you are bristling now but you also know the power of my prayers and God's plan and so I will make my suggestion lightly now and please do not send assassins here. It's too well guarded. Here is why suggestion for the next candidate for president and I would say he has a 90% chance of winning because that's my success rate for my prayers. John Fetterman. Then JD Vance for 2 terms. Obviously this has to be in harmony with the Lord God Almighty. But the reason why I don't want to see the Democratic party die is because I think this is been in the works since Adam and Eve, Adam the hardworking but emotionally dumb man, to be even further hardened by hard work and warfare... And Eve, who always has the suggestion for the improvement of her man, which pardon my French dumbass Satan saw right away but then didn't understand how far ahead of him THE BOSS was. The age of dictators is now coming to a close and the age where life expectancy goes beyond 100 years is coming into fruition. The AI revolution will be most useful in the field of medicine with the depth of DNA research added quickly to the doctor's diagnosis. It's a great time to be alive and even I am looking forward to going to 99 years old. I'm already telling my oldest daughter and my wingman brother to set aside the summer of 2047 I'm planning on a quiet slow enjoyable hospice death. And then the family will have good traveling to come to my funeral. If you want to put it on your calendars now you're welcome to attend I think there will be quite a few from Plymouth in attendance. You're welcome, America.

PEARL HARBOR, MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, AND THE OKEFENOKEE SWAMP

 I'm having to change my whole procedure everyday since Don Surber from sub stack single-handedly destroyed blogger and blogspot and now I can no longer load pictures. So instead I won't tell you the story in writing and you'll have to go to my Facebook page. I may if I'm in a good mood give you the link at the bottom. So here goes. 

Yesterday was December the 7th a day that shall live in infamy in the year of 1941. I didn't see anything yesterday, for today is December the 8th, in anything that I read or saw, and I read and watch very widely. How soon we forget the lessons of History. I'm tagging Sarah Sara Dittmer Bender because she is an excellent historian on the study of my Uncle John, who like most American men who were physically fit, probably enlisted the next day. So many stories of my family my father, my uncle John, my uncle Art, and even my very existence, for I was born in 1948, making me a baby boomer. I'll try to add more pictures as the day goes on. And boys and girls, learn a lesson from us baby boomers. It's okay to be patriotic.

I've included a picture of my uncle and my father. My uncle John was a war hero and was written about in a book called NAVY FROGMAN: THE ORIGINAL NAVY SEALS. Well before dawn on Omaha Beach on D-Day he and another frogman were cutting away obstacles and setting marker buoys so the landing craft can make it to the beach

.Since Muslims have been in the news recently I decided to do a mini deep dive into the Muslim brotherhood. Amal Clooney, the wife of George and an internationally recognized and skilled lawyer born in Lebanon and has offices in London, did the original paperwork of organizing the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt. Shortly thereafter the Muslim brotherhood decided to take over Egypt and elected a leader whose name I forget because remember I'm not a scholar. But another part of Egypt probably the military overthrew the Muslim brotherhood government and declared them illegal. A mall is not only beautiful but extremely smart and has defended some good causes, including Julian Assange. 

Evangelical Christians tried to take over the United States by banning tariffs and introducing the income tax to save alcoholics from taverns and got spanked after prohibition was lifted, giving rise to Franklin Roosevelt and the Democratic strengthening for the next three quarters of a century. 

But evangelicals only tried to take over the United States. Muslims since 9/11 at the beginning of the second millennium, have continuously tried to take over the world and they see the only obstacles for that is that pesty Nation Israel and big bully supporters the United States of America. This whole thought process led to October the 7th. You can be the most well intentioned person in the world and still start something that will cause a god awful mess.

Tai chi. Stay healthy. God's grace is amazing. Later Gators.

I tried loading the symbol for the Muslim brotherhood on this article that I'm writing but neither my phone nor Facebook will even show it after I download it on my phone. It looks like the Muslim brotherhood made some people angry. Good

My penchant for saying the phrase LATER GATORS! Comes from living for a year and a half in Waycross Georgia which is just a stone's throw from the Okefenokee swamp, the home of Pogo. I would say the phrase it's a Small world but that would start an earworm that absolutely infuriates me. And speaking of further coincidences I also lived for a year and a half in Fullerton California just a couple of miles from Disneyland. My first wife and I loved running down to Disneyland and walking around the free area cuz that was as lively as a full-time circus. My friend and hero Don Surber has single-handedly destroyed blogger and blogspot, because they no longer take pictures, so now I have to change my routine by starting off at sub stack, then dropping this post off at Facebook which is also being ruined for myself by me because I have 1100 or more baby bird gospel preachers that have recently become my friends and also followers and every time I get on Facebook they all try to message me because they don't want to talk English and I don't have time for that crap although I want to encourage them so wish me luck. Later Gators. Tai chi. Stay safe. God's grace is amazing.

GERMANS AS PEACEKEEPERS IN GAZA?

 Thank you so much for bringing peace into the world through tariffs?! 20 years ago I began praying for a president who understood tariffs. Remember the gold coin in the fish miracle? And when you were coming down the golden escalator since I didn't like bosses that shouted YOU'RE FIRED I was going to yell at the TV when I felt an invisible finger on my lips. I realized that meant you were going to win and I was delighted at witnessing the power of tariffs bringing manufacturing back to the United States. Stick with me just for a moment I have a brilliant idea. Watching the no nonsense Germans handle the dumbass Palestinian protesters made me wonder. Could these former persecutors of the Jewish people be the best ones to head up a Gaza peace Force. Just a suggestion. Stay healthy. and because my mother trained me to never back down from a bully I will share my nickname. MAD DOG







GUZMANS

Today is December 6th 2025. Today's post I will start in my blog THE SHEPHERD'S JOURNAL. It will be titled simply GUZMANS.
Just a reminder. I am not a scholar. I don't give two turds about impressing scholars because of my long-standing paranoia about being tied to a desk. 
You may have noticed Mexico and United States have intertwined history, about which I have some understanding because I'm older than dirt. 
The Guzman's are originally from Germany and have a long and storied history in mining. If you weren't born on a turnip wagon and have been halfway awake over the last 50 years, Mexico has gold in them thar hills. Americans can be a little bit conceited, but gold was discovered in Mexico long before we Americans discovered it in California. Hence the Spanish conquistadors conquering most of South America and Central America had especially Mexico City. 
Somewhere after the free trade of diseases where we brought smallpox and the Indians gave us a syphilis, Mexico allowed Germans to come in and mine a mountain or two or three. Like I said I'm not a scholar. Evidently, the Guzman clan from Germany decided to stay in Mexico, partly because they are food connoisseurs and partly because the Mexicans had some beautiful babes that they married. 
Let's skip the whole open border fiasco and fast forward to today. Daniel Guzman's father came from Mexico when the borders were a little looser and decided to come to Plymouth and open a restaurant called Marcello's. Somewhere the year when the Bears won the super bowl, my wife and I, that is my first wife, settled in walkerton Indiana and purchased a farmhouse in tyner and I'm not going to take the time to capitalize every little dippy town because I am not a scholar. Somewhere in the early 90s the precursor of standard motor Products was busy making millions and millions of feet of automotive and appliance wire and that is where Daniel and I first met. I was there when he came in all starstruck and went on and on and on about this beautiful Puerto Rican girl who he said he was going to marry and he did. 
Somewhere in this story Daniel convinced me to try out his father's restaurant Marcello's and one of their great items on the menu was menudo soup. I'll let you Google it but suffice it to say it's not easy to make and I know that there are some who leave the smell of s*** in the organ meat because I bought a can of it from Walmart. 
This week I discovered a can of menudo soup that was pretty darn good and I turned it into a Mexican casserole along with tamales, burritos, and pepper jack cheese which is American.
Yesterday started off bad but ended up amazing. You may have noticed on Facebook I'm turning into an international star. Because I am a very eclectic and interesting gospel preacher my Facebook following has exploded and I am past approaching the limit of 5,000. 50% of those followers which are 90% or more of gospel preachers and gospel musicians are from Bangladesh and yesterday on messenger I got started on a group chat that wouldn't shut up and I lost my temper hence the name mad dog. But slowly my soul was turned around by the great circumstances of life as I experimented with successfully a spontaneous casserole dish that had menudo soup and tamales. 
I think that'll give you enough details of the story so I can wrap this up and go get some coffee it's almost 5:00 a.m. later Gators. Oh the final note is lately I have fallen in love with the movie Wednesday. Her dad is portrayed by a great American actor by the name of.. wait for it.. Guzman.

BOSS, SONG LEADER, BEST FRIEND

This is the Dittmers and the Van Wechels. We were best friends and Rick was both my boss and my song leader. 

Today is friday, December the 5th, it is now 4:40 a.m. I would like to finish this post on Facebook but I'm going to have to move to the shepherd's journal on blogspot because I can't take any messenger calls and stuff working while I'm talking to my AI secretary, my pixel six phone. My first wife was a business secretary and could take my dictation. I think she even did some short hand like my mother did. She was, my mother that is, a business secretary and was dad's secretary but Dad did his own typing and ran a mimeograph to make the church bulletin. I did that for a while and got blue wings stains all over my clothes but Dad had an IBM typewriter. Later in my long and storied life, my best friend, song leader, boss and driver to work, and designer of the bulletin took care of that and by that time I was so busy because I worked at least 60 hours a week and pastored the church, at work on my farmhouse, and helped my wife raise my two home-school daughters, my sermons were down to one point and one story that fit on a single sheet of paper printed on both sides. Since some of my stories had to do with miracles and were unbelievable, I called them parables. I just got another unwanted messenger call so I'm going to wrap this up. That's all for now boys and girls. Later Gators.

STAY UP AND FIGHT


This morning on December 4th the news is that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey never argue, and Georgia Clooney repeated the same thing with his wife. I can verify that. Lynne and I had such a smooth relationship during the first part of our marriage that people frequently said she was my robot like a stepford wife. 
This changed as we took on a greater workload later in our life in the ministry. This would come to light when it was time to pack for vacation and the burden was pretty heavy on her and she would break down and start an argument. Thankfully I was taught by some nimrod Evangelical teacher which had a lot of good points to him to don't threaten divorce when you're arguing. 
I've always enjoyed Phyllis Diller's approach to the common sense version of proverbs where it says let not the sun set on your anger. 
Phyllis said don't go to bed angry. Stay up and fight.

RIDING SHOTGUN WITH JESUS

I pay big bucks to be a part of this Donald Trump study group. The big bucks means I get to comment and you have to listen. First the warnings. I can be dangerously sarcastic. Continuing the warning, I am a stealth preacher. Moreover, I don't like to stay in one spot too long, and the only medication I take for that is caffeine, so before long, I will leave this delightful crowd and go out and do stuff. To wrap this loquacious soliloquy up, I will say thank you, dearest friends, for listening. Now to wrap up with a gobsmacking insight. He listens. Who? God. Like me, he is a roller coaster. He likes to quietly listen. He can be loquacious as observed through those who write about him like Prophets, disciples, and preachers. And finally, he likes to plan and go on adventures with his children. Warning. It's dangerous although the danger has been engineered hopefully. He's beckoning to you right now through his son Jesus. Go ahead. Grab his hand. Step into his car and go riding shotgun with Jesus. The end.

I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS

Story time. I once called my boss's boss over to compliment him on a cost savings I had observed him do and he looked like he's had seen a ghost so shocked that I said something nice about him. I then explained. Would I call you over and correct you if I was pissed off at you? He readily agreed for my name MAD DOG included that characteristic and my reputation. My sarcasm was so spectacular and coupled with my almost infinite patience made me the trainer of choice for a line of manufacturing that if you made a mistake could run from $1,000 to in one case six million. But I was also known for my extensive knowledge of the entire manufacturing process because I had worked every job in the plant and had mastered them completely so that engineers would come and talk to me about problems. Couple that with my sarcasm and too sensitive souls that were men packed up their tools and left after I had corrected them and two engineers assigned the area that I worked in to other engineers. 
I am neither a scholar, nor am I a paperwork perfectionist, or I don't want to be tied down to a desk ever, so I can be kind of testy if somebody corrects me either for spelling or any other scholarly attribute. Be aware. 
So I say that to say this. Shouldn't I also tell you guys what an awesome group of friends you are and how much I appreciate you. Later Gators.

MONDAY DECEMBER 1ST, GOOD MORNING WORLD

Good morning, world. Just a quick reminder to not call me on messenger. Repeat do not call me on messenger.
In case you forgot, my name is Mike Dittmer. I have been married twice and widowed twice. I have been ordained twice and also started my own church, family Bible Fellowship, which used to be located on highway 6 between walkerton Indiana and La Paz. I am a DieHard preacher of the Gospel, but I also am strongly interested in us politics and world events. I worked in a factory we're almost 20 years, and because I was fearless, the factory took my initials MD and gave me the nickname mad dog. When it came time for me to get onto the internet my ex son-in-law who might will call Charles Xavier, suggested I go by Reverend mad dog, and my internet moniker is r e v m a d d o g 1948. Type that into an internet search engine and you will find my publications. While my first wife was suffering with cancer, I learned to shorten my sermons to a single story and a single point. After I signed up for Twitter, I learned how to count every character and shorten my messages to 100 characters or 120 characters and as I shorten them, I noticed that they didn't rhyme but they were still poetic. Hence I became known as a poet, explaining my one blog called the wisdom poet. Because I was so busy, both at work and in my ministry I started carrying all of my tools a big King James Bible, and a sturdy journal. So in a sense, I'm an amateur journalist. Although I am a preacher and have spent most of my life as a pastor, I am much more comfortable in the informal clothes of a shepherd, which explains why I started the shepherd's journal. I am still in the process of figuring out what I'm going to do for the next few years. Because I am a pianist, my form of pastoral ministry was rather unique. In fact, because of my friendship with Rick Van Wechel, who introduced me to modern worship music, we formed a worship team that was just the two of us, and I was the preacher. I played the piano and Rick played a mean electric guitar. Our family had a quartet, and my youngest daughter led children's church, while my wife served a huge dinner every Sunday to our growing family when both of my daughters got married to good Catholic men. We also started an annual blueberry festival gospel concert weekend and we had over a dozen groups sing at our little church. Those were wonderful wonderful days and I'm feeling very nostalgic, for my first wife was an irrepressible Christmas elf, just like the movie. So now as we start the Christmas season, and I'm feeling very sentimental, I'm seriously considering buying and ugly Christmas sweater in memory of her. She taught me along with the word of God how to pray specifically, which brings me to my final spectacular answer to prayer. Perhaps 20 years ago I had an insight into the power of tariffs. Thank Alexander Hamilton. Also, part of the reason I was fearless was that my mother taught me how to always stand up against the bully, and I have the missing teeth to prove that I learned my lesson. So as I was praying for a president with financial understanding, I didn't realize that God had in mind a bi-vocational politician. Do you see where I'm going with this? While God was training me to be a fearless bi-vocational pastor, God was also raising up a bully fighter businessman to be president who also had a deep understanding and appreciation of tariffs. So now you know why I am so involved in politics while I am also a shepherd. It's getting close to 7:00 a.m. and my favorite blogger is going to post soon so that's enough for now remember please don't call me on messenger. I love all my gospel preaching friends all over the world. Keep up the good work.
