God works in mysterious ways

We hear a lot about road rage these days as the complexities of life cause stress and anger that often result in deadly consequences. Recently, during a Bible study session at my home, a friend, whom I'll refer to as Gregg, told us about a road confrontation that occurred a few days earlier. As he was making a left turn at an intersection near his home, Gregg noticed a car speeding up toward him as if to block his path.

God is asking all of us to open our hearts to Him, behind our steering wheels and behind our keyboards.

Behind the steering wheel of our cars, many of us are tempted to ignore polite societal norms. I find it interesting on Sunday when we exit from our church service and go to our cars in a large crowded parking lot to see the variety of behavior of other drivers as we make our way into a slow exit line. Most are thoughtful of others, but some quickly assert a sense of privilege as they seek to more quickly depart.

Thank you, poster, for getting my day off to a good start. We never know when the slightest good deed will have a day-changing or even life-changing result.

Proverbs 15 1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. 4 A soothing tongue is a tree of life, But perversion in it crushes the spirit. 18 A hot-tempered person stirs up strife, But the slow to anger calms a dispute. 28 The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, But the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things. 33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction for wisdom, And before honor comes humility.

Young people today are conditioned to passionately hate middle-aged and elderly white men. We are "them". They see themselves as heroically exacting revenge against us for our past "bad acts" -- defeating the Democrat slaveholders, defeating the democratic fascists, and defeating the social democrat communists. Road rage is directly proportional to law enforcement's abandonment of traffic law enforcement. It's the National Ferguson Effect. I am now convinced that, in the absence of law enforcement, most Americans are only retrained by social pressure, not moral conviction. They will only act morally when they think somebody is watching.

I'm really glad that this worked out well for Gregg, and for the young man. Sadly, in some places, Gregg was at great risk to have been murdered by the other driver. Gregg sets a great example for us, I hope he is protected by God when he does this. Apparently he was.

For those who see the Hand of God in extraordinary natural phenomena, a lightning strike in Toledo, Ohio is being seen as divine retribution. Others call it karma. Witnesses reported that lightning struck a George Floyd memorial mural, not only burning the artistic expression, but collapsing the brick wall on which it was painted. (snip) plenty of people are laughing at the symbolism, while others piously bemoan their sentiments and/or denounce them, as racists. There are plenty of people calling it an act of God or divine retribution for idolizing a career criminal and drug addict. My favorites? "White lightning, I presume....."

On July 17, 1996, TWA Flight 800, a Paris-bound 747 out of JFK, blew up off the coast of Long Island. It seemed somehow fitting that James Kallstrom, the public face of the FBI investigation into the plane's destruction, would die two weeks before the 25th anniversary. As a patriot, a Vietnam vet, and an outspoken critic of all things Clinton, Kallstrom once held promise as the insider most likely to come clean. He never did.

Back when ESPN was watchable, I confess to having a petite faiblesse for Rachel Nichols. She was cute and congenial, and — unlike many females broadcasting male sports — she rarely pretended to know more than she did. These past weeks, however, Nichols has found herself embroiled in a petite scandale. Her transgression? Objecting to the professional mugging she received at the hand of ESPN's "diversity" goons. I would have preferred to portray my beloved Rachel as pure victim, but the story's not quite that simple.

Yesterday, I wrote that it looks like Pennsylvania Dems are panicking over the audit of the 2020 election announced by State Senator Doug Mastriano, chair of the state senate’s Intergovernmental Operations Committee. Two days after the announcement of the audit, President Biden suddenly was scheduled for a trip to the Keystone State "to deliver remarks on actions to protect the sacred constitutional right to vote." Bringing the “The Big Guy” to pressure officials to obstruct access to the data which the state senate has an absolute right to examine. But that was just half the story.
Nationalizing the Capitol Police 28 replies

Do we really want a nationwide federal police force accountable solely to a small number of legislators, not subject to FOIA and other citizen protections applicable to the executive branch? The Acting Chief of the U.S. Capitol Police has recently announced the expansion of their federal force into Florida and California. Two new field offices will be opening in Tampa and San Francisco, due to claims from Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman that the number of threats against sitting Congressmen has doubled in the last year. However, this isn’t D.C.’s first effort to implement a new national police force.

The Monty Python boys, dressed in red frocks, once irreverently boasted, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! ... Amongst our chief weapons are such diverse elements as fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and an almost fanatical devotion to the pope!" If you switch "pope" to "woke" and the "Spanish Inquisition" to "Authoritarian Imposition," I think that old comedy sketch nails our present situation in America pretty well. Consider how our D.C. despots, with their stern expressions of disapproval and general sense of entitlement, have responded to 75 million Trump voters who insist on auditing the 2020 election.

A Chicago rapper was gunned down in a hail of bullets moments after he walked out of jail and had been fitted for an ankle bracelet, reports said. When 31-year-old Londre Sylvester left Cook County Jail just before 9 p.m. Saturday, gunmen got out of two parked cars and shot him 64 times, according to a police report obtained by the Chicago Tribune. Two women were also injured in the ambush — a 60-year old woman who’d just posted Sylvester’s bond and a 35-year-old woman who worked at the jail, CWBChicago said.

Asked whether the drawdown was a mistake, Bush told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle in an interview: “I think it is, yeah. Because I think the consequences are going to be unbelievably bad and sad.” Bush, whose administration launched the U.S. military invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001, specifically cited the plight of Afghan women and girls whom he said could
