Whose Side Are You On, Comey??

I admit I am suspicious of any F.B.I. action with regards to Hilary Clinton's E-mails.  I don't know whether F.B.I. Director Comey is really interested  in getting to the bottom of Hillary's E-mail scandal, before the election, or is he merely blocking any further revelations before the election, so it won't effect her ability to win.  Or, conversely, is he really trying to cast doubt upon her candidacy to keep her from being elected, so he won't have to be the first Director of the F.B.I. to have to indict a sitting President of the United States.  Or has the prospect of America being led by a "President Keane" revolted him as much as it should?

When he announced, Friday, that he was re-opening the investigation into her non-secured E-mail server, it reputedly rankled some nerves in both the F.B.I., and the Justice department.  Reports are that he notified the Congressional leaders of his intention to do so, against the will of Attorney General Lynch, his immediate superior in the Obama Administration.  Democrats have gone "ballistic" over this, which would indicate that they feel this could adversely effect Hillary's chances of winning the election.  But, since the F.B.I. can not divulge any information of an on-going investigation, until completion, and the investigation is expected to continue until after the election, it would seem that their concern would center only around voters' assumptions that there is something shockingly illegal to cause the investigation to be re-opened at this late date.  Whether this is true, or not, we can only speculate about.  And, whether this will adversely effect Hillary's chances of winning,or not, only God knows.

Praise God, let's hope so!  I have made no secret of my opinion that I don't want her to win, even though  I have very little respect for Donald Trump, as a person.  But, if he remains true to the platform he has presented, he will be a massive improvement over Obama, and Hillary would only intensify Obama's 8-year disaster as President!!!   And, if Trump does not fufill campaign promises, you can bet there will be plenty of outraged Republicans to "hold his feet to the fire", which would guarantee that he would not be re-elcted, to say the least!  America will certainly become a "basket case" society, if  Hillary is allowed to fufill her campaign promises!

So, what is Comey up to???  Is he trying to protect Hillary from some horrible revelation, or has his oath of service come to the fore, and he recognizes that Hillary must be kept from winning, at all costs, for this country's National Security interests, alone?!!  Only God can say!!!

Has The F.B.I. Really Reopened Hillary's E-mail Investigation???

I don't think so!  This stinks of another Obama administration cover up, and I think Obama's fingerprints are all over this!  I suspect the F.B.I. will just sit on this "investigation" until after the election, and then any "bombshell" revelations will be less relevant.  And, any attempt at impeachment, even if successful,  would leave us in the incompetent hands of a "President Keane", for crying out loud!!!

If  the F.B.I. knew there were some damning revelations in these E-mails, that might throw the election away from a Clinton victory, which (for some reason, Duh!, I can't guess why) the F.B.I. didn't want us to know about, all they have to do is announce it was re-opening the investigation, with too short a time-frame left to complete it, before the election is over, and, by law they would be unable to reveal those findings until the investigation is completed (conveniently, after the election.  And there wouldn't be anything we could do about it, because all they would have to do is say they were just "obeying the law".  Manipulating the law is more like it!  That seems to be all Obama has used his education in Constitutional Law from Harvard Law School for; to figure out ways to get around uncomfortable legal restrictions!  His is the most diabolically corrupt administration I have ever seen, and that includes Nixon's "Watergate Scandal" administration!  But, hold onto your hats, folks, 'cause Clinton seems ready to make the "Obamnation government" look like kindergarten!

("But Rick, isn't the F.B.I. supposed to be impartial?", you say.)  Don't we have enough evidence already that  this is not the case with Obama's F.B.I., which is under the authority of Obama's Justice Department, which is run by Obama's Attorney General???  His Attorney General Lynch was reported to cause her plane to wait on the tarmac recently, until after she could hold some kind of meeting with Bill Clinton, which was reported to be just a friendly greeting.  Yeah, sure!!!  Soon afterwards she said she would abide by whatever  decision the F.B.I. recommended, concerning whether Hillary should be prosecuted, or not.  Funny thing!  The F.B.I.'s director Comey announced later that there was nothing worthy of prosecution in the investigation.  What a convenient decision!  Right up there with his announcement that they were re-opening the investigation, with too little time left before the election, to legally reveal  any findings!!!   Perfect timing, for someone who was trying to protect someone from revelations of shocking illegality, I'd say!!!  Like I said in the beginning, this smacks of an Obama Administration cover up, to me!!!

This whole election stinks to high Heaven, as the expression goes!  Trump's victory should already have been assured, based on what we already know about Hillary's incompetence, if not downright illegal behavior, while serving as Secretary of State.  The fact that it has not been assured is because of revelations about his inability to stop publicly groping women.  Is there anybody out there who is capable of running this country, without breaking the law???

God have mercy on all of us if we can't find someone, one way, or another!

"For The first Time In My Life...", I Can Agree With Michele Obama!

She, of the original Inauguration quote, "For the first time in (her) life I am  proud of my country".  This because our country had elected her husband as President.  I have always felt this to be a very telling insight into the Obama mentality, and indeed, the liberal Democratic mindset, in general.  Apparently, they are unable to be proud of anything that America has stood for, up until they get their own way, politically.  Then, the only thing that matters is that they are in charge, not what is inherently right, or wrong for the nation,...just what they want.

Yesterday, while campaigning with Hillary Clinton, she said that Donald "Trump divides (the American voters), while Hillary unites".   She finally said something that I can agree with!  But, the real issue, Michele, is what they are dividing TO, or uniting to.  If one "unites" unto an evil platform, where is the value in "unity", there?  And, if the "division" is from the evil values of their predecessor, that has to be an inherent good, I think.  But, I don't think Michele, or Barak, and especially not Hillary, will ever understand my feelings about that!

I would have us to unite around statements like Barak swore, twice, " ...to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States...", and he swore that in the name of God, too!  And, as a Law student, majoring in Constitutional Law, I would expect him to fully understand what he was swearing to!  Not to simply use his knowledge to figure out ways to get around this oath, to significantly harm this nation's Constitutional freedoms!  Sorry, Michele, but if that's what you can "finally be proud of", that's where we strongly disagree!  Her husband has done more than any other President in the so-called "modern era" to destroy this nation's safety, and security,  and I fail to understand how that equates to "preserve(ing), and protect(ing)" anything!  And, Hillary wants to increase his irresponsible policies!!!  She can't even protect her own E-mail security, for crying out loud!

Hillary, and the Obamas don't really want to "preserve and protect" anything that this country stands for, because by doing so, we stand in the way of a One-World Socialist government system, that will eventually be dominated by the Antichrist's tyrannical rule!  They want to slowly condition us into eventually accepting a complete renunciation of the Constitution, which they foolishly believe to be a tired, old document, that is no longer relevant for modern times.  I, and those who agree with me, believe that the truths that are written in the Constitution, agree with the most basic principles of the Bible, and they are as relevant today as they were 2000 years ago!!!   The Bible has much to say about the Antichrist's system, in the book of Revelation, and what will happen to those who support it.  But, fat chance that the Clintons,  or the Obamas would ever read that, let alone believe it as truth!  Fine, for them, but I don't want them to take me down that evil path with them!!!

After The Election...???

Donald Trump may lose the election, though reports are indicating a rebound in certain key "battle ground" states, but,win or lose, the fight against liberal values, and the conditioning of Americans to accept the future Antichrist One-World Socialist government system may be far from over.  As I wrote yesterday, he may be preparing a Supreme Court case against Hillary Clinton (if he loses, an impeachment proceeding in the House of Representatives; and if he wins, a criminal investigation into her callous disregard of National Security procedures, and perhaps treasonous influence peddling to representatives of foreign governments.   One way or the other, I suspect it will all be decided in the Supreme Court, and if Hillary is able to appoint a replacement for Justice Scalia, that bodes poorly for Hillary's opponents.  If Hillary wins,  she will probably be the first...(you thought I was going to say "woman president", didn't you?)... guilty criminal to be elected to the Presidency,  in the history of the United States.  If she were a man, she wouldn't have made it past the Democratic primary, but the liberals are so desperate to cater to the biased interests of their various minority interests, that they gave us first, a black (or half-black) President, in Obama, and they're trying desperately to follow that up with a woman President.  I say "desperate" because there has been a monstrous effort on the part of Democrats, and their primary propaganda disseminaters, the mainstream news media, to cover up, first, and cast as irrelevant, second, her irresponsible behavior, while serving as Secretary of State.  I say again, if she were a man, she would never have made it past the Democratic primary.

The very fact that the election race is so close, running against a billionaire "Sleaze-ball", who himself only won the primary because Republicans are fed up with the endless cycle of "warmed-over liberals", who differ very little from the Democratic candidates, that they nominated him, in spite of their personal offense. That's considerably different from the Democrats who nominated Hillary, in spite of her obvious criminal (and perhaps treasonous) record.

The question marks in my title indicate that I don't have a clue what will follow the election, either way.  But, I suspect that something dramatic is in store, and I think God is going to work it out for our good, regardless of the absurd corruption, on both sides, of this absolutely lunatic campaign!

What's Going On In Trump's Devious Mind...?

I just wonder... I suspect Donald has something up his sleeve.  I can't exactly guess what, but I have some wild imaginations spinning around in my mind.

I know a candidate should always act as though he expects to win, up until the moment he declares the opponent the victor, but Donald acts more like someone who knows the election may not be the end of it all.

I wonder if he has plans to challenge the results, if he should lose (as the mainstream media seems determined to convince us of the inevitability of it all, I suppose to get any "bandwagon" swing support to fulfill their "prophecy").  He might hope to make a case before the House to sue for impeachment.  A quick perusal of the Constitution refreshed my understanding of the "articles of  Impeachment",  in Article II, section 4 :  which said Congress could remove a president for acts of, "treason, high crimes, and misdemeanors".

Hillary has certainly tip-toed along the line of treason, with her irresponsible E-mail server, and apparent influence peddling to foreign national governments while serving as Secretary of State.  But I wonder if Trump can convince Congress that she did so at the harm of National Security.  I don't think a Congress that has been so hostile to Trump throughout the campaign will be easily convinced of this.

However, the F.B.I. already has announced that it will release the remaining E-mails in it's investigation, AFTER the election is over.  Interesting timing, since the investigation has already concluded, exonerating Hillary of any wrong doing.  If she were innocent, why wouldn't the remaining E-mails be released earlier, unless the F.B.I. thought they might further influence the vote.  Perhaps there is some more damning evidence contained  in them, and perhaps Trump is counting on that to be severe enough to sway even a hostile Congress to feel her offenses are worthy of impeachment.

I guess we'll find out soon enough!  As Betty Davis once said in one of her movies, "Hold on to your hats, folks.  It looks like we're in for a bumpy ride!!!"

Is There Hope Left For America?

I'll admit it's looking pretty grim.  Donald Trump seems to have managed to scuttle his own campaign, almost singlehandedly, and now seems unable to correct his perverse image, even with one more debate left.  The Establishment Republicans are apparently more comfortable with a Democratic Administration, as long as they can keep their "precious jobs", and the voting populace is totally "bonkers" in my opinion.  Yes Trump is a slimy creep, but he is a "slimy creep" who wants to undo the horrible effects of the Obama disaster of the past eight years.  Is he the last hope for America?  Certainly not.  But he may be our last chance to regain our collective sanity, in time to avoid being drawn into the Antichrist's one-world Socialist system, that the Bible talks about in the book of Revelation.

Yes, we can still opt out, as Britain did recently, opting out of the European Common Market, which is probably the forerunner of the Antichrist's system.  But I'm not at all persuaded that we have enough wise voters left in America to recognize the path we're on, in time to bail out of his evil delusion, with it's horrible consequences.  (I refer the Biblically ignorant to the last book of the Bible,  which will seem confusing to those who don't believe that we are entering this final phase of God's patience with mankind, but will make frightening sense if one reads it from the standpoint of  a factual account of the era we are entering now, with very little time left to choose to stand on the right side, before God destroys those who have belligerently chosen to resist Him!)

I am perhaps most disappointed in the Evangelical  Christians, who are reputed to be "split" evenly between the two Presidential candidates!  How can one be so offended by the perversion of one candidate that they will vote for the destruction of our Constitutional freedoms, by electing another criminal, who has demonstrated that she doesn't care about our national security, so long as she, and her husband can profit by selling influence to our enemies, at least spiritually, if not literally?  I'm sure their (the Evangelicals') motivation  is sincere, based on moral values, but the major issues are so obvious that they are inescapable.  Trump is morally flawed, true, but he has demonstrated enough willingness to respond to the offense of the voters that God can surely mold him into a reliable President, while in office.  Hillary not only doesn't believe in the Constitutional values that have kept our country strong for almost 250 years, but she has given every indication that she wants to set us up for voluntary surrender of our sovereignty to presumably join in a one-world government.  And guess who is set to take control of that government?  If the Antichrist will ultimately take control of that system, and he is the Devil's agent, according to the book of Revelation, guess where that puts those who are unknowingly helping to bring it all about!  So, logically, and indirectly, we can say that the Clintons are working for the Devil!!!  And, I don't understand how sincere Evangelical Christians can rationalize that they are voting their consciences, by electing the Devil's agent, rather than someone who stands against that, even though he is of admittedly weak moral character!  Again I have to lament that we don't have a more clear choice, in this election; but I don't doubt that God is watching us to see if we will embrace a horrible evil, because we are offended by a somewhat lesser evil!!!

May God have mercy upon all of us, if we make the wrong choices in this election!

Shame On Us Christians

Double-minded Christians have always been problematic to the movement of God in the affairs of man, and it applies today.  I think it was on an NBC newscast that I heard that Evangelical Christians are reputedly split, almost equally between Trump, and Clinton before the election.  If that's true, and I don't automatically trust the word of one of the mainstream news media outlets (who are more concerned about using their format for leftist propaganda dissemination, than for reporting the truth accurately, and honestly), then the Christian voters will merely cancel each other out, in the election.  My point is:  which is more important, electing someone who will defend America's traditional values, even if he can't control his libido in public  (and remember there was another man who was considered the "wisest" man of all time, namely King Solomon who collected wives, and concubines habitually [300 of the former, and 600 of the latter; many from pagan nations, which God had strictly forbidden His people from doing]), or getting rid of the foolish international socialists that have driven this country to the brink of accepting the Antichrist's one world, socialist government that God has prophecied will try to take over, and enslave the world, until He personally destroys all of it's participants.  To me this is a clear, and obvious choice, and may even effect the salvation of those Christians who willingly participate in the Antichrist's system.  I do not say that participating is definitely the "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit", which is Biblically referred to as the "Unforgivable Sin",  but I wonder if the Antichrist will try and proclaim divine authority by claiming to be the incarnation of the Holy Spirit, on earth.  Christians should immediately recognize this as a lie, but will some of them have already accepted the "Mark of the Beast", on their right hand, or forehead, which is also condemned by the Lord, Himself?  We should all consider very carefully the full consequences of our vote in this election!

Besides, electing Trump may be the only way to get rid of him, without settling for another "Obamanation" government, with Clinton's election (God forbid!!!) .  If we consider the likely consequences of Trump's election, he will either behave himself while in office, which seems unlikely, or he will be quickly impeached, as Bill Clinton nearly was, except that he was rescued by his partisan, Democratic-controlled Senate, who refused to convict him, though he was blatantly guilty.  Does anyone think that the establishment Republicans in Congress would do the same for Trump???  Not likely, to say the least!  They would much prefer a Pense Presidency in his place.  So a vote for Trump may actually be a vote for a President Pense, indirectly.  This may be God's ultimate plan, anyway.

So, any Christians who can't get past Trump's groping charges, to recognize that a pervert, temporarily elected, who has promised to institute desperately needed reforms to the mess that Obama leaves us with, may be making a terrible mistake, with consequences that may effect them personally, as well as the country as a whole!

Proof That I Am No Prophet

If I were a real prophet then the "Gog/Magog" invasion of the Middle-East would have probably started yesterday, right? Not necessarily (though I still am not claiming to be a prophet). But keeping in mind that smart military commanders will try to keep as much of their plans as secret as possible, for as long as possible, the decision to invade the Middle-East may have been made yesterday, for all we know, and Putin is not exactly going to, "shout it from the housetops", I don't think. (How's that for some lame rationalization!)

But truthfully, if God is preparing Putin (Gog?) to commit multiple-national-suicide, by bringing his invasion forces against His Chosen People (Israel), when He Prophecied over 2500 years ago that He would use this as His opportunity to judge Russia, and their Muslim allies and destroy up to 83 1/3rd% of their invasion force, then it would require significant secret preparations to prepare for a full scale invasion to successfully pull it off. Apparently, this will not be a problem, especially with Obama still in office until January. and even if his administration believed his plans, they would probably only react with a "strong diplomatic protest", like the one in Ezekiel 38, "have you come to take a great spoil?". Duh!!!

But, keep watching the NEWS, people with this possibility in mind. I'll bet there will be some dramatic arms, and troop buildups, in the Syrian campaign, with some rather lame excuses offered for it all. And Iran will find some excuse for moving more and more troops closer to the Syrian border with Israel, as well.

So, if you don't claim to be a prophet, Rick, why are you working so hard to expect this all to happen. I'm not really, I just suspect that's what is about to unfold, and I think that all believing Christians should realize that one of the most dramatic prophecies of the Bible may be about to happen. And, if so, it really means that we should all "look up, for (our) redemption draweth nigh"!!!

UPDATE [10/14/2016:]
As far as Russian military buildups go, it seems significant that Russia delivered some anti-missile missiles to Syria, yesterday, and I forgot to note that. I guess Russia is concerned about the reports of I.S.I.S. making home-made bombs out of toy drones.  This is interesting since it would seem to make Israel's ability to defend itself that much harder, but somehow I suspect that God will give Israel a way to get around these systems.  Again, He's promised to destroy 83 1/3rd. % of the Russian invasion force, with no mention of Israeli casualties, if any.  This will apparently be a completely one-sided war, with Israel (and God) being victorious!

"Yom Kippur" 2016!!!

So today is 2016's "Yom Kippur" on the Jewish calendar. So what??? Perhaps nothing in particular...but, then again perhaps something very significant, not to Jews only, but to all of us...believing Christians, and atheists, and everyone in between!!!

If World Wars I, and II were significant to all of us ( and they were) then #III should be at least as important to all of us! It will not be one directly involving America, and western Europe, as the last 2 were, but it will probably be of more significant importance to the whole world than they were!

I have said many times that I do not promote myself as some kind of latter day prophet. Let Joseph Smith, and those of his foolish nature answer for their ego-maniacal claim when they stand before the Lord. I make no attempts to justify my beliefs by saying that God gave me some kind of divine inspiration, one way, or another. But I will say that I rather unusually awoke this morning with this Post laying heavily on my heart, not that it was given to me supernaturally while I slept. But it was rather unusual; that's all I'll say about that.

What I will say is that I can read my Bible! (Whoopee, for me!!!) And I can believe what I have read, recognizing what is Biblical truth, especially when it is conclusively proven by recorded history, and sometimes eye-witnesses. Then I can recognize similar current events that have similar results as those recorded in the Bible.

With this perspective in mind, I have drawn certain conclusions, about today, and I offer them up to the reader to humbly consider them as "gospel truth", or foolish rambling, as they choose.

First, I have said many times the Russian invasion of the Middle-East (which was prophecied by the Prophet Ezekiel some 2500 years ago, or so, (in Ezekiel 38, & 39) seems to be the next non-fulfilled prophecy to be fulfilled, and it may be imminent, today. (For more on this prophecy, check out the "Archives" list to the right of this column, pertaining to the "Gog/Magog Invasion of Israel".)

But one may well be expected to argue, "Rick, prophecies are old testament stuff...not for today." Oh really???? Who says so??? Certainly not God (And He should know!). He is, "the same yesterday, today, and forever"; and, "a day unto the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as a day." If God is real (and I believe He is), He can fulfill His Prophecies as easily today as He did thousands of years ago.

So why today? First, logically, why not? Second, God gave Israel the Holy Day of "Yom Kippur" as their "Day of Atonement", or the day each year that they could be forgiven of all their sins of the previous year. (This was before He sent Jesus to die for all of the sins of all mankind, forever, if we would be humble enough to receive it.)

God has kept Himself from open revelation of Himself to the Jewish people for 2 thousand years. Yet His prophecies have still come true. Namely, the promise that Israel would one day be restored (fulfilled in 1948), and that Jerusalem would also again be their capital (which happened in 1967, though America's President, and Congress are still too foolish to admit the obvious).

The Ezekiel prophecies speak not only of His miraculous deliverance of His chosen people (Israel), but also that He would use this as His way of revealing to Israel that He still loves them, and that (perhaps His anger with them of thousands of years ago, for straying after other gods, is past, and he has forgiven them). What more appropriate day for this to begin to be revealed than on "Yom Kippur", their traditional day of forgiveness. And if it's not today, I'll be looking for it next year, and every year thereafter, until it comes true. But, I suspect that will be sooner rather than later!!! Praise the Lord!

Presidential??? Are You Kidding Me???

This has to be an historic low for American politics! And that includes the Nixon "Watergate" scandal, and Aaron Burr's attempt to steal part of the country (because the whole country wouldn't elect him)! What a mess we have in our two-party system of government, when we can no longer choose which candidate is the best choice for President; but rather which candidate will do the least amount of harm to our country, if elected. And the other registered candidates are such dogmatic fools that most people can see through them right away. Perhaps we should forget about electing anyone, in spite of our Constitutional mandate to do so. In other words: simply vote for, "none of the above"!!! Then let Congress try to get something done, by themselves, as if the Supreme Court would let their laws stand, if we did. Laws can't be legal unless signed off by Congress and the President, but what if there is no one around that's "qualified" to be President???

I am disgusted by Donald Trump's massive ego, and his apparent inability to think beyond his genitals, and Hillary Clinton's mindless unconcern for following necessary procedures to guarantee our national security, and her greedy willingness to sell influence to the highest bidders, even if those bidders have close ties to the perpetrators of the 911 attacks! And let's not forget her cowardly decision to let the Benghazi officials die, rather than offend the diplomatic interests of a terrorist nation! What a choice we have for our next President! An ego-maniacal sex pervert, or an influence-peddling incompetent, who thinks peoples' lives are expendable in order to protect diplomatic appearances! And there is Bill's equally, if not greater, tendency to think with his genitals, who will presumably be Hillary's closest advisor, when not too busy taking bribes from foreign governments. It almost makes me want to leave the country, but where on earth is a country that is safer, or better than our own?

"Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly, and count us worthy to escape the wrath that is to come"!

Which Pervert Will Do The Least Harm In The White House???

This Presidential campaign is without doubt the most perverse and otherwise ugly campaign in recent memory, and perhaps all of American history. As my title of this post suggests, instead of electing the best candidate, we may have to settle for which candidate will do the least harm to the office we elect him, or her to.

Recent releases of Donald Trump's perverse conversation describing his feelings, purported to have been clandestinely recorded some eleven years ago, about his attraction to a beautiful young girl, and exulting in the ease he expected to have in propositioning her (because of his wealth, and fame) have to rank him in the same category of sex-pervert as the perpetrator of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, of about the same era. So, instead of electing the best candidate for the office of President, we seem to be forced to choose which pervert we think will disgrace the presidency least, from the White House. Will Trump take his hand off the button for the "football", simply to assist him in his philanderings, or will Bill Clinton's closet liaisons become so open that Hillary's administration will become the laughing-stock of international relations. And, will this bring about a new context for the term "international relations"? Who but God knows! So, who is to blame for our disgusting predicament? I blame the liberal media for making the presidency such a public forum for examining every candidate's personal closet-skeletons, that we are left with two such weak choices to choose from. Nobody wants to be examined so closely that their past indiscretions, sometimes even youthful mistakes (even long ago repented of) will be dragged up to haunt them for the rest of their lives, so you are left with shallow-moral-value candidates whose own indiscretions simply are yet to be made public. The only difference may be the fact that a President Trump will be more in the public view than a First "Gentleman" (pardon my choking over that word), Bill Clinton would. Bill would have free range of every closet in the White House, and nobody would be watching, as long as it didn't interfere with Hillary's duties. There might be a lot of scandalous gossip among the White House staff, but the liberal media would probably ignore it, like they did for Presidents Roosevelt, and Kennedy. At least until they were out of office, or rather dead.

So, people, I guess we will have to hold our noses, grit our teeth, and vote for the least harmful candidate to be our next president. Thank God we will not have to look to our President to save us from our international quagmires much longer! King Jesus will soon do a much better job than either of these perverted Presidential candidates could ever hope to!
