DISPATCHES


In one of his first meetings with national security advisers.....in his first term....Trump made this statement...."Venezuela....that's the country we should be going to war with. They have all that oil....and they are right in our backyard." Well....he got his oil.

Folks....we have Putin with his back up against the wall. We have China waiting for the perfect moment to move on Taiwan. We have a war that was shock and awe....until it wasn't? What happened at the beginning of April? We need a president in control of himself....listening to the advice of others who should be the best that we have in these areas....but we have a president still fighting with Canada....who cannot control his mouth or his temper or his actions. This is serious stuff! This should be sending all of us to our knees....where we couldn't possibly sit before a TV set for a whole day watching football!

The footage out of Nepal is more devastating than all the footage that I have seen of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami....even though it is estimated that 230,000 people died in that disaster. It is a stark reminder of how disaster can come about....on a major level....in an instant. 

Blood Moon tonight....although technically not a full lunar eclipse blood moon it should be something to see. It will begin around 9:30 ET but a little after midnight is when you would want to look at it.....the following paragraph is a week or so old...."So the solar eclipse was spectacular. The next event will be a partial blood moon....occurring at its maximum here in the eastern United States a few minutes after midnight....August 27/28. This partial will be 96.2%....so it is supposed to be very effective. The next total blood moon will be on New Year's Eve 2028....and the Middle East will be in the middle of it. Rosh Hashanna will begin on September 11....and Yom Kippur on September 20. I always have the Jewish lunar calendar in the back of my mind. I have long since been convinced that God uses signs in the sky....and....Jewish holidays. These things just serve as alerts....reminders....that God has used them in the past....and will certainly do so in the future."

 A first time ever event....the Republican midterm convention is scheduled for September 9 & 10. Will the networks cover it? Hopefully not. 

I am so often....so very sad....in that many nations....that were once strong allies....for example where a Canadian was almost as a brother...have become almost enemies to us....because of one man....whose bloodlust for greed and personal glory....destroyed that trust and friendship! May God have mercy upon us....for seeking our glory....and not God's!

Our national debt was around 18 trillion when Trump took office. We just hit 40 trillion. The Trump and Musk cuts were for show.....and with the chainsaw massacre of USAID and the numerous domestic cuts through things like food stamps and children lunches and Medicare benefits....the poor had suffered....the new Les Misérables...while money was poured out like water on White House and D.C. "beautification". If you listen closely you may hear the echo from the past...."Let them eat cake."

Jonathan Cahn's much anticipated new book is scheduled for release next Tuesday....September 1. We do not know what a day brings but if the Lord permits....I will be at Barnes & Noble in the morning....and have the book read by evening....and reviewed here the next morning. That's what I do. To evangelicals....who buy into the secret mysteries of people like Jonathan Cahn....this man....our president....who you think that God sent....could not care less about any peoples....in any area of the world....or even America. Everything is a deal.....transactional....with he himself being the only beneficiary that must be satisfied.

The idiom has been around for a long time....between a rock ad a hard place....but it is as if imagined for us today. If the Democrats win the House and/or the Senate....to use another idiom....there will be the devil to pay....but if Trump keeps his congress Praetorian Guard in place....can you imagine....can you even imagine....where his political and egomaniacal bloodlust will take him? 

Jonah and the whale....and Nineveh....and us: There is a new movie scheduled for an October 16 release. We do not what a single day brings. I do not know what the next hour may bring....but I will look forward....Lord willing....to seeing the Josh Brolin film....Whalefall....where a scuba diver is swallowed by a sperm whale....and has an hour of air to escape. Now I would expect that neither the movie....or any of the reviews forthcoming....would give any credence to Jonah....but I don't care....for the concept alone of a man swallowed by a great fish....at this biblical time in history....put before the American public....is encouraging. May God if it be in His perfect will....make us think through this film....no matter what it might try to say!

I do not have a link here telling how many hits this website has had....this because bots have effectively muddied the statistics....but I do pay attention to the number of people who visit my profile....because that statistic is not affected by bots. So if you are new here....it would help me out to know that. Thanks.
