A few years back we were in the next town over and, as we drove down a street, saw a purse in the middle of the road, contents strewn in the street. We pulled over and got out but two cars of bubbas had stopped and were rummaging the purse and picking up loose cash. I told them to drop the purse, two stood up as if they were going to block me and one said something naughty ending with ‘you’. I was still on the department so I politely moved my jacket aside and let them see the star and pistol on my belt. Basically all our sheriffs’ badges look alike so they dropped the purse and backed off to their cars. The purse had an empty welfare envelope and a book of food stamps, they’d got some of the cash but at least the stamps were all there. We felt bad so we put $40 in the purse and took it to the local PD so they could contact the owner. PD thought we were nuts for putting the cash in – only reason I told them was to let them know I knew how much was in it and I expected the owner to get it. In hindsight I should have just run over a bubba or two.

FTA: Christians–look at the world around you. How many church leaders do you know who already preach a gospel that is no more than watered down socialism? How many sweet talking, smiling preachers do you already know who parade their political activism while neglecting the reality of Christ’s true gospel? How many religious people do you know who already believe that it is all about the brotherhood of Man while neglecting the Fatherhood of God?
Already they have put before us “a new religion without a Cross, a liturgy without a world to come, a religion to destroy a religion, or a politics which is a religion–one that renders unto Caesar even the things that are God’s.”

‘Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the “mystery of iniquity” in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.’ ~ Catechism of the Catholic Church (675)

I am unfamiliar with this author but I have read before and my god Father a catholic priest who was once a Solar Energy scientist used to talk about Islam being the beast of which Revelation speaks.
http://www.charismanews.com/world/44330-bible-prophecy-author-claims-islam-tied-to-revelation-beast
Bible Prophecy Author Claims Islam Tied to Revelation ‘Beast’
This new look at Bible prophecy presents strong evidence that the coming beast and false prophet of the book of Revelation are based solidly in Islam and Muhammad. When the head of the beast has a fatal wound, it represents the death of the last Islamic empire, the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire, in World War I—which means another Islamic empire will come back to life again to wage jihad upon the world.
My God Father described Islam as quite possibly the fulfillment of the 666 marking of the Beast. The time line of Islam roughly represents the 666 (founding of Islam 7th century approximately 600 years after Christ), the rise of Islam though the 11th and 15th centuries (approximately 600 years after the foundation) and the current rise of Islam (approximately 600 years after the necessity of the Crusades) . The numbers are not exact but that is not really of importance to me as it is generally 666.
It also is in keeping with our rapid decent into a hell-like existence on earth.
I don’t know enough as whether or not to give it much credence but it certainly fits into the biblical prophecy and the power of deception that the Beast is supposed to posses.
LikeLiked by 2 people
At least for now, I am still sticking with the age old Catholic teaching that 666 was Nero. Perhaps there are dual meanings as was so often the case in the Bible, but I am very reserved and conservative in my end time beliefs and I will not stray from the teachings passed down. I was raised in a miasma of little churches who preached the Rapture to terrified children. That was enough.

Yesterday was quite an experience of the “new normal” in medicine in our country today. I saw the only specialist who can apparently now prescribe medication for long-term chronic pain (with possibly the exception of doctors for the terminally ill.) I know people in state after state who are having similar experiences. It was my turn. Whereas in the past a rheumatologist or GP, for example, could prescribe for previously-diagnosed RA, fibromyalgia, and other chronic pain illnesses, apparently no longer. The doctor I met was quite unusual. He is a former Marine. He talked rapid-fire, bluntly, jumping all around, and had a sarcastic way of joking about everything. He said things in such a startling way that it took me some time to figure him out. Here is what I have concluded after processing the things he said:
It is the government, far more than I had even thought– the government probably along with medical bureaucracy. (I’ll call the conglomeration of whatever, “they”.) Doctors aren’t allowed to prescribe some medications anymore. They’re isolating out what they see as problematic meds.
A big number of pain management clinics/centers are hoaxes. The doctor arrested here next to our hospital had no special certification and apparently his facility wasn’t technically a true pain management facility. (Confusing.) Doctors at supposed pain management centers and sports medicine centers are getting into big trouble all over the place. My doctor even called them out by name, including knowing names of doctors in Virginia, when I told him we were living there during the huge state scandals. He said there are criminal doctors everywhere. I take his word for it, although I have never met a doctor who wasn’t very strict about these kinds of issues.
People like me, who have fibro/chronic fatigue or other chronic pain illnesses which cannot be definitively tested and have visible proof, are out of luck when it comes to getting help. “They” actually really believe that people like us all sell our meds. They don’t believe in the illness(es). So, doctors aren’t allowed to prescribe for them. In my case, I have another serious chronic pain illness which they do accept as being real, so apparently he will be able to continue the meds I’ve been on for 17 years.
The bureaucracy and paperwork is so complex and possibly full of pitfalls for the doctors, that doctors are flooded with it and have to be extremely careful. The literature and things to be signed which they hand out to patients read like parole documents. I felt like I was on parole for a drug use crime. I had to do the urine drug test, first time I’ve ever had to do that. A big woman, towering over me, gave me all these instructions — I could not run any water or flush until I handed the cup to her. I almost thought she was going to come in with me. She hovered at the door with her head up to it. My former doctor has to sign a form saying he won’t prescribe any medication for me in future.
He said what I had learned from researching long ago, that the medication I was on wasn’t that strong a drug, although they blow it up out of all proportion, for their own reasons. This doctor is going strictly by the book, even though he was pretty honest about it all. He has no intention of being investigated or arrested, and I certainly don’t blame him.
We discussed the obvious reasons insurance companies don’t want patients to get brand-name drugs when generics are available, even though generics do not have to be 100% as effective as brand-name, and why insurance companies will hound the doctors to prescribe generic.
So, imo, the government is well into the business of managing our health care, telling doctors what they can and cannot do.

Having worked in the area Intend to look atbit as the government managing your death.
Tbe FDA was boughtnout in 1992 with the passage of the Prescription Drug Users Fee Act, pharma officially took control,of the FDA and has owned it ever since.
Note thebproliferation of opiate pain relievers, nit much viable research going on in anything else. They are dirt cheap to make, arecaddictive and very very profitable. When the Feds had a glimmer of testosterone and demanded that pharma change the formulation of a particular pain med to make it less easy abuse in in a particular way pharma, after a long, expensive and tax deductable research program, did Just that – and madebit far easier to abuse in another way. We spent millions chasing Pablo, we spent millions more taking down drug king Noriega but we let pharma raid the pantry with impunity.
A quick check of mymlocal docsvon teo Fed sites (since taken down for ‘technical issues’) showed oxy as in the top five of all drugs prescribed. Standard excuse is that the areas full of manual laborers who get hurt, can’t stop working, yadayadayada. If thst’s the case then why do instant pain clinics set up shop in trailers, have lots filled with outbofvstate cars and swamp local pharmacies with oxy scrips?
The ‘generic’ scam’s a real trip. China and India crank out genetic drugs dirt cheap and in huge amounts. In some pharma scams the co-pay you dish out is actually more than you’d pay for that drug if you bought it outright. Profits all around are enough to keep the doors open even if thry didn’t sell name brand.
Eople think that the FDA keeps close tabs on the Asian plants that make the genetics – far from it. Many of the plants that make the finished products only get inspected everybten to fifteen years and even then the inspectors have to notify the government they plan on inspecting and get permissions. Plants that make the subproducts that go into the final product ay never get inspected. There was a bill in Congress earlier this year thstvwould have made more frequent inspections mandatory but it seems to be stuck domewhere in Good Intention Hell. Even were the bill to pass the host country would still be the main hurdle to cross in getting more frequent and meaningful inspections.

Back about 20 years ago, I visited my parents in Florida. I hurt my hip and wanted a few pain pills so I could sleep. My mom’s doctor saw me, and said she could only give me a few. So she wrote a prescription for 30. I told her all I really wanted was one for each night until I left because I had to drive home and I didn’t want to be tired. So she gave me 4 samples. I guess things are different today.

For all the polling that’s being done in regards to our local U.S. Rep race it sure is hard to find what the numbers say.
4 back to back calls just today, one obviously an internal poll by Rep. Mullin as it was paid for by his campaign. I found that funny because he should know this number by now and know he wasn’t going to like my response to his poll.
It will take a miracle in Oklahoma to overcome an incumbent, but it gives me some hope with the sheer number of polls being taken.
My favorite poll of the day though was a short and sweet one, will you be voting the 28th, who will you be voting for, Mullin or Jackson?

Jefferson Parish (border parish to Orleans Parish) sheriff’s deputy shot and killed by a perp he’d stopped. Perp resisted the officer, struggle ensued and perp shot deputy multiple times, deputy died at the hospital. The perp was captured and suffered minor injuries – he was captured by the canine unit so he might have been chewed on a bit. No word on the perp as far as description but I have a hunch…

Shooter that killed the JPSO deputy’s been identified, a 19 year old black male from New Orleans. He went over the river to another parish/city to rob shoppers when the deputy saw and stopped him.
LikeLike
Sheriff just had a news conference on the shooting. Seems that when the deputy put the skel over the hood of his car to frisk him the skel teisted up, went chest to chest with the deputy, pulled a five shot revolver from his waistband, reached over the officer’s shoulder and shot hom in the shoulder blade area. As the officer fell, face down, the skel followed him down and shot hom two more times in the back as he fell. A-hole only had three bullets in the gun or he’d have shot more.
His excuse for shooting the officer was thstbhe was on parole and didn’t want to go backmto jail for having the weapon.
If you remember, a few months back when we were talking about killings in robberies/home invasions, I’d said that obebof the main reasons we’d had killings in what was an otherwise unresisted robbery was the idiots didn’tvwantbto go to jail so they didn’t wantbant live witnesses left behind. Same excuse but with a slight twist. See why RATS and BLM folks want castle laws repealed? Don’t want law abiding crime targets fighting back.

My cousin and I used to “smoke” gum cigarettes and think we were very cool, they were pink gum that had been rolled in some type of white powdery stuff and then wrapped in a piece of white paper, if you puffed out on them a delightful plume of white “smoke” came out of the end, it only worked once or twice so you had to puff with discretion and save them for the right moment 🙂 . We both still have fond memories of our neighborhood Nellie from Little House on the Prairie gasping at us, stomping her foot and telling us, “You’re the worst person in the world!” And then she yelled “Mother” just like Nellie.
