The following was posted this past April as Emmanuel (God with us) Macron was wowing the United States Congress. I thought it apropos to bring it back today:
Bad Moon Rising
Dispatch.....Emmanuel (God With us) Macron mentioned the 21st century world order twice in his speech....someone in his entourage probably wisely told him to drop the word 'new.' I think that Republicans were gleeful at first but a bit confused as the speech went on.....standing and clapping at familiar patriotic phrases.....but then the French President said that he was sure that the United States would come back to the Paris Climate Accord. There's a bad moon rising....but Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump think that it is a harvest moon.
Well who all is sick of all my warnings in these posts......show of hands please....whoa....it looks like the wave at a football stadium! Who'd a thunk it....peace in North Korea.....and maybe with Iran? Everyone seems to be thinking 'peace and safety.' North Korea has their weapons....and I'm among those who have said that Iran has already had them (nuclear) for a while. The only issue left is when they pick the moment to get things rolling.
What we are seeing right now with state dinners and Joint Sessions of Congress is a very concerted attempt to build an alliance. French President Macron is referencing the Marquis de Lafayette in his speech as I type. Lafayette was my first hero as a young person....and a biography on him one the very first books that I ever read. I remember being on a walking tour of Paris and asking the guide where the statue of Lafayette might be....she never heard of him. We are today more the children of the French Revolution then they are children of the American Revolution.....and Emmanuel Macron is Voltaire....not Lafayette.
We put pressure on our representatives in Congress.....vote our way or you are out....but it is a Sisyphean quest. To my Christian brothers and sisters who are reading this.....the pressure should be applied to the men in our pulpits.....preach the cross of Christ or you are out.....or we are gone....and remind us of God's warnings to us.....for God will hold you to account for this.
