Our Most Dangerous Challenge Ever by Gene Chapman

Image
  The cost of Socialism is unfulfilled dreams in an authoritarian police state of misery.  Our Beautiful America is clinging precariously to our God Blessed Constitutional Republic. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ambition is to rule the world.  Using propaganda, they create a great danger, Donald Trump, then appoint themselves as the savior, when in fact CCP cares less whether Chinese people live or die.  It is a challenge to describe the true evilness of how the Communist treat their own, destroying morality and traditional culture, sabotaging futures , constantly inciting hatred, with the omnificent Party always right.  We just had four years of extreme hatred.  It started well before Trump’s unexpected presidency.  I was proud America elected a Black president.  I thought, since his majority win could not happen without White America’s vote, it would go a long way toward proving systemic racism was a dying ember. Obama could have been ...

Baby: not biological by-product by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

January 29, 2021 the National March for Life celebrates LIFE We celebrate life from the moment of natural conception to the moment of natural death, and every moment in between. Fertility clinics are where human beings are produced in a petri dish by taking the gametes, the sex cells, and bringing them together so that embryos are engendered. Some embryos are implanted in the woman, in the hope they will ‘take,’ and the rest are left-over and frozen, they are like frozen left-over’s in the freezer. Left-over babies frozen in time and space, their further development has been put on hold. The pause-button has been pressed on their progressing forward. There are hundreds of thousands of embryos in suspended animation, in liquid nitrogen. Waiting to be born or waiting to be destroyed, who will decide? There are all kinds of proposals for thawing frozen embryos, which are left-over from in-vitro fertilization procedures used to overcome infertility. There are many who call for the thawin...

Cesar Chavez and illegal immigration by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

Image
  There is now a bust of Cesar Chavez in the Oval Office of the White House. Cesar Chavez is famous for founding the United Farm Workers (UFW), and for leading a nonviolent boycott against California grape growers, protesting poor working conditions. What most people are unaware of is that he was an opponent of illegal immigration. He was a third generation American citizen, a Navy veteran having joined the United States Navy in 1946 and he served for two years. He actively opposed illegal immigration because he saw firsthand how it crippled his ability to unionize farm workers and how it depressed their wages. He clearly understood the basic laws of supply and demand, the greater the supply of labor, the less the demand and consequently lower wages. In 1969, Chavez led a march in California to the border of Mexico to protest growers' use of illegal immigrants as strikebreakers.  Chavez saw the need to report illegal immigrants who served as strikebreaking replacem...

The Kid in the Red ‘MAGA’ Hat by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

  The 48th Annual March forLife   in Washington, D.C.,  will take place virtually on  January 29, 2021. Sign Up to Watch the 2021 March for Life Coverage Recalling the event on a fateful day in January 2019 in our Nation’s Capitol, a teenage boy from Covington Catholic High School was milling around the Lincoln Memorial waiting for his bus to arrive to take him back to his sweet Kentucky home. He had come to participate in the 46 th Annual March for Life earlier that day. Along with his classmates and chaperones he had visited historic sites that spoke volumes about our great and glorious country enshrined with the principles of freedom and liberty that stood as shining beacons of hope. He must have felt the pride of being an American, to live in the land of life and liberty for all, to be in the city that exemplified and epitomized the grandeur of our founding freedoms. His heart must have soared at seeing those structures of stones that have stood the t...

In His Time by Irene Ortiz

Image
  Before I asked Jesus what song do I sing for you today – One song came to my mind – The song was “In His Time”.  The Lord is giving the world a message. “Trust in the Lord Always” God wants the parents to consecrate their children to God and to always trust in the Lord.   He wants this world of ours to follow His commandments.   God wants us to walk in His presence with faith and with fortitude.   He wants us to love, to forgive, to be merciful to one another and to practice the works of mercy.   To help the world, to walk as Jesus walked in the path of righteousness.   To help the needy, feed the hungry, help the less fortunate, to give hope to others; because this world in which we live needs faith, hope, peace and love.   He wants us to love one another as He loved us.   That He died on the cross for us because He loved us unconditionally.   He gave His life for all humanity.   He ...

The Modern Day “Lettermen” by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

Video: The Lettermen 1968 TV "Going Out of My Head / Can't Take My Eyes off You" With Dancers Big Tech The "Modern Day" Lettermen 2016- 2021 singing "Going Out of My Head / Can't Take My Eyes off You/Never My Love" to Donald John Trump The "Modern Day" Lettermen: Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and CNN President Jeff Zucker See the resemblance? See the similarities? Use your imagination and see how much Jack, Mark and Jeff look like The Lettermen. No kidding. It is a tempestuous love/hate relationship between The "Modern-Day" Lettermen and Donald John Trump (DJT) that began about five years ago. At the beginning of the relationship Twitter and Facebook got plenty of clicks, hits and money-making traffic and CNN got a ratings boom off of Trump when he was a New York businessman and was running for President, but then after he somehow managed to win the Presidency everything changed. At the beginning of the r...

A media love fest by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

Image
  For the next four years the legacy media and Big Tech media will be blissfully riding along on the Love Boat during the Biden-Harris Administration.  Remember the theme song from the TV show LOVE BOAT that premiered from 1977 to 1987,  we’ll be hearing it throughout the Harris-Biden Administration, yes Harris-Biden Administration, that wasn’t a mistake or a misprint, which will be a re-run of the Obama Administration, or as the cool kids like to say, Obama 2.0. A great majority of the officials in the Biden-Harris Administration were former officials in the Obama Administration. Everyone knows that Joe Biden will not be running the show; he’s incapable of doing it. He’s only the front man, good ole’ Uncle Joe is the portrait the media has painted for us to believe. And unfortunately the vast majority of us having grown up watching movies on the silver screen or shows on the TV screen have been so enamored by what we are sold that we have bought into the lies. ...

New World Order one, Trump Zero by Gene Chapman

Image
The first Amendment to our Constitution: Congress shall make no law respecting the Establishment of Religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of the press or the Rights of the people peaceable (not riotously) to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.  They never envisioned a situation with Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, all the big guys controlling the speech of America, with the power to join with the Democrat Party, silencing opposing speech by making it hatefully politically incorrect.  They wrongly assumed there would be a vibrant other side, but over time the press spoke with one voice, silencing opposing voices, using colluding big tech to make patriots clinging to America’s time honored greatness mere fools, plus evil to boot.  Clinging to Religious freedom, to guns, with smaller government and unhinged productivity in entrepreneurial free markets, America won wars, visited the moon with plan...

An abortionist dies and goes to . . . by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

Image
  January 22, 2021: Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children After a long and catastrophic illness an abortionist dies and is greeted at the Pearly Gates by Saint Peter who holds open the book of the abortionist’s life, a thick volume filled with all that he did throughout his life. The abortionist mistakenly thinks he is just hallucinating from all the pain medication he has been given and summarily dismisses the entire drama as merely a bad dream or even as a nightmare that will eventually end when the pain medication wears off and he awakens from this stupor he now finds himself having to endure. The abortionist even has the unmitigated gall to inquire from Saint Peter: “Is this a dream or am I really dead?” Saint Peter pulls no punches and doesn’t try to soften the blow: “You’re dead, just like all those babies you killed.” Saint Peter then informs the abortionist that he will spend eternity listening to all the stories of all the babies he aborted. “...

Magic mirror by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

Image
Once upon a time in the land-of-the-free and the home-of-the-brave there lived a Lifelong-Politician-in-Waiting Biden who for years and years would ask his magic mirror who would be the ruler of this fair-land and every time the answer would be, “You, Lifelong-Politician-in-Waiting Biden will be the ruler of this fair-land.” And he delighted with this answer as he waited and waited until the time came for him to be bestowed the title of ruler of this fair-land. It was his turn to take his crown and sit upon his throne and be the ruler of this fair-land. At first all the magic mirrors throughout the land predicted he would win because how could he possibly lose, since the only other contender was the Master Twitterer Trump. But then he heard some rumblings coming from some magic mirrors that he might lose. He could not take any chances he might lose, so he called on Trickster and Prankster, the most conniving royal court jesters to do all they could to insure that he would be ...

Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to you. Allow Your healing Hand to heal me. Touch my soul with Your compassion for others; touch my heart with Your courage and infinite Love for all; touch my mind with Your Wisdom, and may my mouth always proclaim Your praise. Teach me to reach out to You in all my needs, and help me to lead others to You by my example. Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring me health in body and spirit  that I may serve You with all my strength. Touch gently this life which you have created, now and forever. Amen.

Character counts! by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

Image
  Imagine you’re a homeowner and your house is on fire. You call 911 to inform the operator that your house is on fire. However, you’re specifically requesting only firefighters who aren’t adulterers or braggarts, and who don’t post aggressive, hard-hitting tweets, come put out the fire in your house, because you truly believe that character counts. Your house is on fire and the water brigade has arrived to douse the flames, you don’t look a gift horse in the mouth and turn the horse away because he has bad-breath. You don’t question the gift of the firefighters you’ve been given, but are grateful they’ve come to save your home and possessions from being damaged or destroyed. Of course character counts, but the main characteristics you want the firefighters who come to put out the fire in your home to have are that they are capable, competent and committed to doing the task for which they were called. Our country was that house on fire, and the citizens wanted someone who would s...
