Spread the word and sign up, it costs you nothing.
Welcome my friends. It is good to be with you again this week. As usual a ton of happenings this week. That got me thinking about a great Movie and how it might compare to our current situation.
First off, I have spoken about this in the past. You may remember that I believe a good portion of the actual Republican party is in on the Democrat politicians taking over our country. Republicans are showing you exactly what I told you they would. Literally they have no backbone. They seem to not want to stand up for all Americans' rights. Appearances tell me that they are in with the Democrat politicians, that’s why they are barely lifting a finger to stop their opposition. Why can they not stand their ground and put the conservative agenda out like you would expect them to. All of these socialistic, fascist, and authoritarian government ideas are fully in the Democrat party. But the Republican party is full of them also.
So as I have said in the past, we are not going to stop this invasion of our world without something major taking place. Yes, go out and vote. But truly that will not stop the Blue tsunami any time soon, or if at all. Both sides have pushed this agenda for decades although one side is much better at it than the other. That other side sees the end game and has joined in for their own power and profit.
All right, let's get back to my theme. Remember the movie Cool Hand Luke? Luke was a convict in a work prison in the south. He was there for something small but he couldn't abide by the rules and was always trying to escape. Well there is a scene in the movie where Luke asks the chain gang Boss to go relieve himself. The Boss gives him permission and he goes off into the bushes to take care of business. Luke knows the Boss will keep checking on him but he sees a chance to escape. To fool the Boss and do as he pleases. So Luke ties a long string onto a bush and as the Boss yells at him he responds with “Shakin the bush Boss, Shakin the bush.” which he does. Well the Boss keeps checking and Luke keeps saying. “Shakin the bush Boss, shakin the bush.” Finally Luke gets to the end of the string and shakes the bush a couple times more to fool the Boss into thinking he is there. Well you know how this ends. Luke escapes and goes on the run doing it his way.
I know what you are thinking. How does this fit into our lives now? First let’s think of Luke as our Government and President. They are constantly giving us false information to keep us in line. “Shakin the bush Boss, shakin the bush,”. Most of us know it is just lip service and just like past administrations they are doing as they please while the guards are not paying attention.
The guards are supposed to keep a watchful eye on Luke but easily get fooled with deception. We the people, yes we the people and our media are supposed to be the guards of our government. We are supposed to be the ones stopping Luke or in this case our current President or previous ones from running roughshod over us. But the guards are sleepwalking through life. I venture to say that 80, maybe even 90% of Democrat voters who are supposed to be the guards are not paying any attention to what is happening in our country. Likewise 70 to 80% of Republicans are ignoring the blaring warning signs all over the place. And both sides of us guards get fooled by the misdirections of our blue and red Politicians.
I put my mind to just a few of the rabbit holes many in our society believe. despite Luke telling them something else. My biggest farce that people still believe is the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. Fully now it is known as an absolute lie dreamed up for politics. Yet, every day you can find information from that situation that is being used to do damage to the other side. The guards fall for it and keep listening. “Shakin the bush Boss, shakin the bush.”
Defund the police and empty the prisons. Those in power now are running from what they said just 6 months ago when it was Politically expedient. “Shakin the bush Boss, shakin the bush.”
How about this, we need to go electric now. Then they and yes we tear apart the actual energy sector before green energy is even close to being ready.
Have you heard this famous line? There is no crisis at the border. The border is closed. Or, Luke says now the governors of Texas and Arizona have created the border crisis in towns like Chicago, Washington DC, and New York. Well you said you were a sanctuary city didn’t you? Purely laughable.
Love this one. No inflation. Our current President tried to tell Americans that there is no inflation. Fortunately the guards seem to be waking up to that diseption. “Shakin the bush Boss, shakin the bush.”
Have any of us forgotten the Afghanistan withdrawal. We were shoveled a line about it being the greatest in history. Yah the greatest debacle in American history.
Next up is the phony inflation reduction act.
Those guards not watching actually believe the title. “Shakin the bush Boss, shakin the bush.”
Here are a few quick hitters we are fed. Every Republican is a white supremacist. Every Republican is racist. Every Republican is trying to tear down a democracy which in reality. You know the real world it is actually a republic. The hunter Biden laptop is a hoax or Russian propaganda. I don’t know anything about my son‘s business deals. Republicans will not not denounce January 6. Despite everyone that any of us knows, denouncing it. It goes on, Republicans are wanting another Civil War, when really the only ones talking about the Civil War are Democrats. They continue to try to Jen up hatred towards Republicans. While calling the Republicans the ones of hate. “Shakin the bush Boss, shakin the bush.”
One of my favorites that I told you would happen. See how great three dollar and 86 a gallon gas is. It’s not a recession. I'm the unifier of the country. Some men can get pregnant. Did you know that only 22% of Democrats actually believe in that statement. But we get more of “Shakin the bush Boss, shakin the bush.”
This leads me to the big question. When do the guards start to actually stop the lies and catastrophes that each side commits. Well at the end of Cool Hand Luke the guards take Luke out and stop the nonsense. For us that is demanding more from our government in the form of actual transparency. Stop the demonizing of each side. Force them to take care of all Americans. Not just the ones who vote for you. All of us want this. No matter your political persuasion. We want peace, and a chance to make it on our own. Give us that and you will have us forever.
No matter what kind of problems that are happening in our country right now. Do not lose sight of what is most important. Taking care of your family, doing good works in the community to help others. Supporting your local churches, food banks, and homeless shelters will be a big necessity in the coming years. No matter who is in charge we cannot forget the people who are in need. Even if you are one of those people, give to others to help as Jesus would have asked all of us to do.
Spiritually, it is time for you to take a leap of faith. It is time to start or strengthen your walk with Jesus.
If you do not know Jesus I encourage you to open yourself up to the fulfilling words of our loving savior. Then you will find a place of quiet, peace, and comfort in Jesus.
Finding God is where you realize your needs will be quenched. Where you find out how your unique purpose can be fulfilled. If you repent of your sins and believe with your whole heart that he is our Lord and Savior. Then he will give you solace in knowing that you are loved.
My friends, put your faith in Jesus, the great I AM, the only TRUTH, THE ONLY TRUTH, that will carry you through the troubles we endure!
See you next time….
