The national debt was already out of control before the coronavirus hit. Spending was out of control under Trump before it hit.

The promise to drain the swamp also rings hollow to me. Most of the people he fires are people he picked to work for him. Jeff Sessions refused to break the law to please Trump, and he lost his job. That argument is still raging.
I think we can come up with a list of things that have been out of control and incompetency for several decades.
Right now after reading your other posts in the other threads it appears that you are sympathetic with these communists, and anarchists, so you do not need to address me again. I do not have a good bedside manner with stupid.

It sounds a lot like the police system in some Japanese cities. A cop knows everyone on his beat by name. He talks to everyone from time to time to see if there are any problems or any new people who moved in that he might not know about yet.

I can see how it could work. Suppose someone loses his job. He could turn to crime, right? He's not apt to if the local policeman talks to him about being unemployed and even tries to help him find a new job. He wouldn't be tempted to try to set up a drug house since he'd know the neighbors would let the policeman know.

Yes. One thing that amazes me, is that in Japan, a big part of police work really is to serve and protect. If you lose something expensive in Japan, there's a very good chance of getting it back, because they maintain local lost and found. I was reading a comment by a European mother living in Japan, where her daughter found a small coin on the street. She said that the sensei (school teacher) told them if they found money to take it in. So they did. The police thanked her, took down the location, and entered in in their book, after putting the coin in an envelope.

I have no problem with Jews. I have a problem with hatred of any group, even against Nazi's. We need to understand why things work so they can be brought back. Sexual immorality, abortion, adultery, genocide, racism, excessive wealth, hatred and trauma, PTSD etc. Innocents become victims, become cruel perpetrators and so the cycle repeats.

Love through the cross breaks the cycle, heals resolves, changes people and issues, sets the slaves to sin free, stops insane blame game and brings light to darkness. We need to repent of hatred, murderous desire against others, and start to praise God for His blessing. All things will be made new, the Lord will rule, justice will arrive, Amen
When you mention Jews do you truly know what you are talking about ?
Canal people are carnal people and they do as carnal people do, for they are lost as to God.
What Jew ? you are lumping all Jews in the same basket. like most ignorant people do ?

I have no problems with Australians, but I can point out a lot of crap ones as well, does that make me racial prejudice or un Australian, well maybe under a Socialist utopia mind set. but maybe I am just stating the reality of the facts of the truth. but hang on under Socialism the truth is not given so much regard as they believe such is fluid.

Such is Socialist perspectives below
Excessive wealth is a sin to you ?
Hatred ? is that a sin ? blind hatred is a sin and the nature of carnal man is reality, one can not ever have a true handle on hatred until one is truly born again in fact.

Under Socialism, Communism their is extreme wealthy people always, only all under the party are nothings.

The Socialist peddle so much utopian rubbish, like their simple minded shallow dribble on hatred, such is pathetic and counter productive and will end in failure, because it's a carnal position and as Jesus said you can do noting without him, as all things outside of Christ Jesus are in vain.

Love also can be blind. the English definition of love is crap because it's not truly define what is meant by such. because such can be so broad, or you could have the drug inspired hippy position ect ect.

Clearly you have specific issues with specific groups. The foundation of the gospel is it is us and our hearts that are the problem.

Two Kingdoms exist, this world and the Kingdom of heaven. You hold a different perspective.

Jesus lived in a world of Roman occupation and oppression with slavery all around. Both get little mention. Because they are the symptom of sin not its cause.

It is why we still hear the voice today so many years later. God bless you

There are 2 Kingdoms, this world is not one of them, the Kingdom of God is here to they who are truly born again, tho we are in this world we are not of it, only carnal people are enslaved under Satan's power over the carnal.
I send you out as sheep among the wolfs ? ring a bell ! that's they who are Kingdom of God.
Kingdom of Heaven ? well this is not Heaven, but in the Kingdom of God and that abides in the Kingdom of Heaven that is above. only they of the Kingdome of God can see the Kingdom of Heaven, St Stephen seen it ! Nathaniel was told that he would see it and more, what was going up and coming down that he would see, tell me that ? do you know, I hope you do.

There is noting wrong with our hearts, it's all about the Soul, it's the soul that is not connected to God, one needs to have Jesus Christ Holy Spirit to connect your Soul, then you and your mind will be enlightened and as one with God, you see then no one can snatch such as them out of his hand. because they are united.

Bleeding hearts of the world unite :rolleyes: such is only worldly nonsense, mans works dribble.

Jesus Christ was not of this world, he did not live in this world as he clearly pointed out.

Both get little mention, you say ? well not to mention that's the key to it all in fact that's what it's all about you know. dealing with oppression and being enslaved.

The symptom ? they are enslaved to Sin.

Yes it has to be specific that's what a Doctor does to ID the symptom that is at hand. but the Political way is to stand off in the safety of distance from the issue and generalise the problem because that is the art of such a trade, so as to play the people. get to close to a symptom and politically you will get fried.

The problem is that people think that it's their church that will save them, the church never saved anyone ever, As only one Saves in fact. and that's why you will see people looking to so called Jews, because they do not have true faith in Christ Jesus in fact, because they are only religious. religion never saved anyone. I will say it again, Only Christ Jesus Saves.
No one comes to the Father but through his only begotten Son.

This is what some of America's "health experts" are saying about the violent protests.

"Over 1,000 health experts sign a letter saying protests are 'vital to the public health.'"

"As public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission.... This should not be confused with a permissive stance on all gatherings, particularly protests against stay-home orders."

"Those actions not only oppose public health intervention, but are also rooted in white nationalism and run contrary to respect for Black lives."

NYC Councilman Mark D. Levine tweeted: "Let's be clear about something: if there is a spike in coronavirus cases in the next two weeks, don't blame the protestors. Blame racism."


(quotes on Fox News, Tucker Carlson Tonight)

You can read the letter in one of my posts below (post #18).

Basically, they're saying that the protests by Americans against stay-at-home orders are "rooted in white nationalism" (i.e. racism). What??? Aren't these Americans peacefully protesting because they want to work and provide for their families!

BUT it's "vital to public health" for people to protest police brutality even though many are not wearing masks, and some are killing and looting..........

So...peacefully protesting stay-at-home orders...........BAD!
Violently protesting police brutality................GOOD!


the Russians are not at the gate, their philosophy populates the minds of so called Americans. Americans turn on their neighbors with their cell phones in hand. same as the USSR used to be.

just to day the media showed some guy counter protesting in I do believe his own yard, on his own time, and FedEx his employer fired him once media got a hold of it. he was fired without out rage from media for exercising his right to speak his mind with no voidance and in his own yard. because he disagreed with what the medias effort to portray as the majority opinion.

they know the psychology of humans as herding animals. the group is security, and its safer to be in the majority.

10 dollars to a cold dog turd that 6 to 18 month from now you will find out that the issue is police procedures and not race. there are those who console police departments that say what those guys did was once police procedure.

you can bet the same yahoos that were rioting in the streets after Trump was elected are the ones out their now. this is politics, not a civil issue.

There were no cell phones in the Soviet Union. And the Fed Ex employee?

FedEx employee was fired by the company after videos appeared on social media showing him and several other men apparently mocking the death of George Floyd during a protest.

The FedEx employee knelt on the neck of a white man in front of a lumber yard as a Black Lives Matter protest passed by. Referencing Floyd, who died while in police custody, the man yelled at the crowd, "He's dead because he didn't comply." Videos of the counterprotest were posted on various social media platforms, enabling some users to identify the individuals involved in the display. A sign promoting the re-election of President Donald Trump was hung from a truck behind them.


He got fired? Go figure?

Fired because he spoke his mind. So there's FedEx's opinion on free speech.

Yes, many businesses have a morals clause that allows them to fire anyone who brings disrepute, contempt or scandal to other individual or party to the contract and their interests.

The problem is not that he used restraint, but that the man complained about not being able to breath, and this carried on over a period of 8+ minutes. This is blatant disregard to life and good behaviour.

Should a man die because a policeman decided to restrain them in an inappropriate manner? And whether he was black or white does not matter. The problem is if the police officer also has a record of racist behaviour, and this whole situation came about because of an inappropriate arrest and use of force.

The racist right, who claim this is not a valid protest, should answer what is a valid protest when someone dies?
It is no wonder FedEx do not want to go anywhere near this.

The lunacy from the left...Ahh Ahh
The first four demands of the anarchists in Seattle, Washington..
1. Abolish Seattle police department and court system.
2. Abolish imprisonment.
3. Free college for the people of Washington state.
4. De-gentrification of Seattle, starting with rent control.
There are more demands

It looks like neither the mayor of Seattle or the governor of Washington has guts to deal with the anarchists that has taken part of the city hostage.

At what cost is it to recognise the suffering of so many, over the colour of their skin.
People matter, and learning through difficulty to let love conquer all.

The left will claim I am racist because I am a white male, except I am not, and enjoy learning the cultures of others, and bringing Christs love into the situation. For some emotional hatred reasons, there are people who see opportunity to exploit others because of history and culture, but then these folk do not know Jesus and that Jesus has crossed all boundaries to show us all undying love and acceptance. God bless you

I agree.

But should we stop allowing free speech on the basis of finding someone's message unsavory?

And speaking of blatant disregard for life and good behavior, there are some other protesters who are actually killing and wounding and stealing and burning and destroying, peope have lost their lives, their homes, their businesses, have be traumatized, abused, victimized.

What has FedEx don't about that, anything?

Company image is an important sales point for any customer facing organisation.
They reserve the right to put their company image for which they pay millions, above the actions of one employee.

There are emotional boundaries one does not cross. Mocking a murder is one line that should not be crossed.
In a sense this is racist in its own right, because the message is deemed more important than the person who died.

The fact that the audience are so numb to this reality demonstrates the racism and hurt that is there without a conscious awareness.
What also inflames the black audience, is when white people talk as if this is innocent comments. This is way beyond innocense, this is deep problems of attitude and acceptance, a conflict over skin colour and rights into which murder and assault has become normal.

"To kill a mocking bird" addresses some of the emotional issues.......

Without all the facts, we cannot determine whether this was in fact a murder. We don’t know that the officer’s intention was to kill. I think we need to reserve judgment until we know more.

Seriously, I'm not unaware. I get it. His message was offensive and inappropriate to me, just the same, it's true that had George Floyd originally complied with the lawful police orders, I don't think he would have died. I think they would have stuffed him into a police car and taken him rightfully to jail.

His death, as it appears, was wrong, and I hope to see justice.

But there IS a double standard applied.

And there is a huge move among people in this country to who are making their message more important than George Floyd's death. Did you hear his brother begging them to stop?

Don't they make a mockery of his murder by changing the facts of the case to make it fit their personal agendas? Where is there ANY evidence of a racist motive?

But his death is declared racist so that they can have the excuse to march, and attempt wealth transfer, and special treatment 'because they are black'.

I agree that people should be sensitive, and building up instead of tearing down, and if it were just you and I this would never be happening! I just think that we should be prepared to accept things as they are. Like that FedEx as no problem with selective treatment of those exercising their right to free speech depending on how they feel about the message.

Much love!

Why are so many calling for action? Because they can. The debate is not about the past, but how we view it. The problem is everything is a perspective and our culture and morality is fluid.

Too many disadvantaged people need an outlet. What happens if solutions are not forth coming? The answers do not come overnight. The USA was founded on trying things out, not looking for handouts. Is this changing?
