The Supreme Court ruled to block restrictions on religious gatherings. It put religion assembly before people’s health. The fact that many churches put themselves before the health of its own parishioners is very telling. What it tells me is that they put money before souls. They put greed before salvation. They have put lies before truths. I have seen posted that God will protect me from the virus. Some of these same churches have said that you don’t have to wear a mask because God will protect you. These may be some people’s beliefs but then as we have seen in last four years many people believe the lies.

Those institutions have compared themselves to essential workers like they are just as important to functioning society as let’s say nurses and firefighters. Nurses and firefighters save lives. Grocery clerks have died doing their essential job. By people continuing to assemble, when it isn’t necessary, just makes the lives of the really essential worker more stressful and dangerous. Do you really think that is what Jesus would want you to do? Wasn’t he the guy that wanted you to put your neighbor before yourself?

Readers Digest in October did an article on the 6 places you’re most likely to catch the Corona Virus: Bars and Restaurants, Beaches, Places of Worship, Gyms and Fitness Centers, Family Gatherings, and Nursing Homes. There right in the middle is Places of Worship. Churches want to stay open and take in money even though they know that people will die. I wonder what Jesus would think of that. It is not about saving souls. With today’s technology there are many ways to communicate with people without them having to assemble in one place so you can pass around the collection basket. I would think that people’s lives would rate a little higher than that. One of few times that I know of that Jesus got angry was when the temple was being used for money and greed.

The Supreme Court did not uphold the right of people to worship. That can be done many ways without putting people’s lives at risk. What they did was put religious greed in front of peoples live.

  The hidden tax. Tariffs cause a hidden tax that never really goes away. I hope that Americans are tired of being told fairy tales about why everything costs more. Our elected officials point fingers. Corporations blame supply chains. Commentators blame inflation. The truth is much simpler and infuriating: tariffs are a tax on ordinary people, and the pain does not stop when the policy ends. It sticks. It lingers. It rarely delivers what we were promised. This is the mess we are in now because of the tariffs imposed by the current administration. Tariffs are sold as strength, as toughness – a way to punish governments and to bring back manufacturing jobs. That pitch works on conservatives who want control, moderates who want fairness, progressives who want domestic industry, and politicians trying to get elected. It is a message built to unite. The policy itself does the opposite. It drains the wallets of the very people that it claims to protect. Here is how it actually works. ...

  When I was young, I was told that “Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll” was going to ruin the country. What I am seeing today is that “Sex, Politicians, and Espionage” is actually what is ruining the country and our democracy. Just think about it. When sex, secrecy, and political power get mixed together, every intelligence service in the world pays attention. The Epstein files aren’t just about a criminal and the rich people that he surrounded himself with. They show how sexual exploitation creates the kind of vulnerabilities foreign governments like Russia dream of. The most uncomfortable part of that truth is that other countries, such as Great Britain, are taking that threat more seriously than we are. Jeffrey Epstein didn’t just commit crimes. He built a system. He targeted vulnerable girls, groomed them, controlled them, and used them to gain access to powerful men. That abuse wasn’t just immoral; it gave him power and leverage. Victims were scared, ashamed, and often silenced. P...

  Something I have written many times on social media is that when our Justice Department becomes a tool of the oppressor, we are losing our Democracy. Dictators have always used the Justice Department to oppress the people. Germany had its Gestapo and the SS, which were used to kill millions. Stalin had his NKVD, which would later become the KGB, that he used to kill millions and consolidate his power. China has its Chenguang, which is known for its violent methods. That is how things work in a country that is run by a dictator.   They use their personal Justice Departments to suppress and eliminate threats to their power. Is that now what is happening in this country? I swear, Trump wants to be just like the Communist and Fascist dictators. Trump seems to want to use our Justice Department more as his personal goon squad than a department that serves the people. He is starting with ICE. ICE is an agency that was formed after 9/11 and put under the Department of Homeland Se...
