The greatest President ever JFK? Was he a Democrat?

This guy was one of the most popular presidents ever, he was handsome. He was a war hero and he believed that the United States needed a strong military was needed for peace in the world.
He believed that cutting taxes were the best way to grow the economy of the United States.
He opposed racial quotas and he hated unrestricted abortion.
Do you know his name? And he was not a Republican.  His name was John F. Kennedy.
When he was running for office in 1960, he was a mainstream Democrat.
The name of Kennedy is beloved in the Democrat party but Democrats hates his political positions.
Ronald Regan was the 40th President of the United States was a Democrat most of his life.
He said, "I didn't leave the Democratic Party but the party left me."
If Kennedy was alive now, what party would be Kennedy? Would he still be a Democrat?
JFK hated the idea of using racial preference and quotas so he would be against the current Democrats now. Affirmative Action is very Democratic. Kennedy that this idea was counter-productive.
He would say this about Affirmative Action and he would not like it. He said, "I don't think we can undo the past now. We have to the best we can now."
He said, "I don't think quotas are a good idea, we are too mixed, this society of ours to begin divide ourselves on the base of race or color."
Kennedy was a fan of across the board tax-cuts. He thought people should keep their money and not give to the government. He thought even the rich people should keep their money.
He said, "A tax cut means higher family  income and higher business profit."
With the idea that Kennedy had, families would have more money for themselves to provide for their families.
He believe that business that were not taxed as much would grow better. He thought too many taxes on business would hurt growth.
Russia built a weapon plant in Cuba, he was going to use military. The Cuban Missile Crisis happened and Russia backed down.
Reagan and Kennedy believed in peace with strength and not strength with peace.
He said this, "Only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt that they never be employed."
Kennedy believed that people should have gun rights. He was a member of the IRA and he was a Democrat. He wanted people to have guns.
Kennedy was against abortion.  He picked a pro-life judge on the Supreme Court that didn't want Roe vs. Wade. The judge name was Byron Rehnquist. He opposed the idea in Japan that promoted Abortion to control the population.
He said, "On the question of limiting population: As you know, the Japanese have been doing it very vigorously, though abortion which I think would be repugnant to all Americans."
If Kennedy the greatest Democratic President lived today, he would be a conservative.

Hope for the hopeless

I love Psalm 10 because I feel this way many times towards God.
I love verse one. It seems that when we enter hard times that God is not near but He is. We must seek the Lord and God will honor us.
I love verses two to four. There are many famous and non-famous people that reject God and promote sin. They will accept everything but truth. We have a hole in our lives that only God will fill but they refuse the truth.
I love verse five to eleven because many people will think that God is not real and do many evil things. This is from Hitler to you or the person next to you.
We need to know God will judge you and me and He is kind but we must submit to Him.
If a person don't have Jesus then they don't have the Holy Spirit. That person will do little and big bad activities in their hearts and actions.
I don't want to make all the believers that everything is for nothing because there is a next life where God will rule and punish all the sins of this world.
I love verses twelve to fifteen because it gives me hope. The world will never focus on the millions or billion of Christians in Africa that is being killed by Muslims, but God see the act of the followers and will hear them.
The last three verses should give hope for you and me. God is in control. God look after the fatherless. I am living proof. I did have a dad but he was never there for me. God was reaching out to me and I heard His call. God hears the oppressed and He will give them peace. This world shows that we are weak and we need to follow the Lord Jesus.

Psalm 10

  
Why, Lord, do you stand far off?
    Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,
    who are caught in the schemes he devises.
He boasts about the cravings of his heart;
    he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.
In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
    in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
His ways are always prosperous;
    your laws are rejected by  him;
    he sneers at all his enemies.
He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
    He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”
His mouth is full of lies and threats;
    trouble and evil are under his tongue.
He lies in wait near the villages;
    from ambush he murders the innocent.
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
    like a lion in cover he lies in wait.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless;
    he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
10 His victims are crushed, they collapse;
    they fall under his strength.
11 He says to himself, “God will never notice;
    he covers his face and never sees.”
12 Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God.
    Do not forget the helpless.
13 Why does the wicked man revile God?
    Why does he say to himself,
    “He won’t call me to account”?
14 But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted;
    you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;
    you are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked man;
    call the evildoer to account for his wickedness
    that would not otherwise be found out.
16 The Lord is King for ever and ever;
    the nations will perish from his land.
17 You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted;
    you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
18 defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
    so that mere earthly mortals
    will never again strike terror.

Feeling weak

None of us are strong
Temptation seize the soul
We give in all the time

Different spot gets our attention
Men fall for  the flesh of a woman
Women have their own sins

Wish that I could say that
That I don't like temptation
But I play with that friend

Times wondering why I feel weak
Truth is that I give in to easy
The devil and world in life

The cross gives forgiveness
Do I turn my folly?
Yes and then no

I am not perfect yet
So I need to draw near
In prayer and the Bible

Lord give me strength
For I am feeling weak
Let me lean on You

The Paris Climate Agreement Won't Change The Climate

There are much noise about the Paris Climate Agreement and it is always in the news.
They have 178 countries that signed this agreement in 2016.
Laurent Fabius, the French Foreign Minister called it a Historic turning point.
Gina McCarthy, the head of the EPA, in the committee on Science, Space and Technology.
Her statement was this, "the Paris Agreement was an incredible achievement."
There were questions about how much will this treaty reduce global temperatures?
She would not or could not say. It seems like a big bark and not bite in this agreement.
The cost of this agreement is great but reduce very little to reduce global warming.
I will look at the Obama plan on the Clean Power Plan. This plan will accomplish nothing.
If the United States did the Paris Climate Agreement and Clean Power Plan until 2100.
The temperature increase reduction would be only 0.023 percent.
If the United States did what Obama wants, it would postpone global warming by 8 months at the end of the century.
 Let's assume all the carbon cuts according the Paris Climate Agreement are met and sustained to 2100. The temperature would dropped by 0.3 degrees. The same as postponing global warming for four years.
Again, this is using the UN's own Climate Prediction Model. These little results are not free.
The cost of the Paris Agreement will be up in 1 to 2 trillion dollars every year, the numbers are from the Stanford Energy Modeling Forum and the Asia Modeling Exercise.
Let me break it down. We will spend at least 100 trillion dollars to reduce the temperature by the end of the century by the great number of 0.3 degrees.
Still some people that support this will say, "its real impact on temperature will be greater then what the UN model will predicts."
This is based on wishful thinking. The Climate Action Tracker which many will quote. They think 1.6 degree reduction by the end of the century. This prediction is assuming that even stronger climate policy will be part in practice in the future.
98% of the assumption will occur of the year of 2030. The Paris Agreement will only get to 1% of the 2 degrees target.
99% are put off until the year of 2030. The Paris Agreement is the wrong solution to a real problem.
Bill Gates have an other idea in Breakthrough. Bill gates announced that private investors are committing 7 billion dollars for clean energy R&D.      
Instead of big government and the popular ideas that we hear in common talk.
Those who want to combat Climate Change should focus on boosting Green Energy Innovation.
The United States has reduce the cost of natural gas which means people will use natural gas instead of coal. It has lowered CO2 emission better the big government policies.
Maybe the leaders in Paris, France should meet at Paris, Texas. Have a great night.

Keep ya head up

I love to read the Bible and I am reading Psalm 9 today. There are many points that stands out to me and I ask the Lord to direct my words.
In the first verse, it agrees with my heart because the Lord is good and he want to bless people.
He has blessed me greatly in this life.
In the second verse, the writer is content in the Lord. I look back at my life and I rejoice with the the events in the past. If something good or bad happens, I praise my Lord.
In the third verse, there are many people that are anti-God and hate the people that follow the Lord.
If a person turns their back on the Lord then bad things will happen.
In the fourth verse, I am not right but if I am connect to God then I am right before him. I have accepted Jesus and following him. I am still connect with him then I am okay.
In the fifth verse, the nations of the world think that they know better than God but they will find out that their are in trouble. When man put their wisdom over the Lord then judgement will occur.
In the sixth verse, people want to be always remembered but if you don't follow the Lord then that person will not be remembered because only what done in the Lord will be always remembered.
In the seventh verse, this verse talks about the judgement of God, many people think God is soft.
He is not. If he says something, then you ought to listen.
In the eight verse, People want fairness and we see injustice in the world. We want justice in the government but we will not have true justice but it is found in God and the Bible.
In the ninth verse, if someone is opposed, no program will do it but the Lord will overlook that person and they must turn to God.
In the tenth verse, if you are in trouble, turn to God and his wisdom and have him to transform your life. Have you arrived there?
In the eleventh verse, Have you a grateful heart or you not. Asked the Lord to change your heart.
In the twelve verse, the writer was following the Lord and he trusted that God was bigger than the people against him.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth verses, the writer was going thru hard times but he knew that the Lord was with him. Do you believe that the Lord is with you, if you have accepted Jesus.
In the fifteenth verse, the current world system is in trouble and the soon return of Jesus is coming soon. What system is your hope in?
In the sixteenth verse, Mankind is evil and want sin but God is always pure and right. We must give up our ideas and follow him. We can check out the Lord and I believe he will convince you and I can't.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth verses, if a person don't know the Lord then they will do in their sin. So if a person repents then they will go to heaven. The Lord desire the needy and he will provide for them so they will repent and know him.
In the nineteenth and twentieth verses, the Lord will give mercy to the people of the world and the governments are bent on evil. So go the source of truth and change the culture.

  

Psalm 9

 

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and rejoice in you;
    I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.
My enemies turn back;
    they stumble and perish before you.
For you have upheld my right and my cause,
    sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.
You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
    you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
    you have uprooted their cities;
    even the memory of them has perished.
The Lord reigns forever;
    he has established his throne for judgment.
He rules the world in righteousness
    and judges the peoples with equity.
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
    a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name trust in you,
    for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
11 Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;
    proclaim among the nations what he has done.
12 For he who avenges blood remembers;
    he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.
13 Lord, see how my enemies persecute me!
    Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
14 that I may declare your praises
    in the gates of Daughter Zion,
    and there rejoice in your salvation.
15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;
    their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
    the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.[c]
17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,
    all the nations that forget God.
18 But God will never forget the needy;
    the hope of the afflicted will never perish.
19 Arise, Lord, do not let mortals triumph;
    let the nations be judged in your presence.
20 Strike them with terror, Lord;
    let the nations know they are only mortal.

Can't sleep

Tonight I can't sleep
My mind keeps ticking
Wondering about tomorrow

On bed praying to You
You take away my lonely state
Content in You may it all be

Reading the Bible
The latest podcast crazy
You are the source of truth

I just examined Proverbs 11:8
The righteous man is rescued from trouble
And it comes on the wicked instead

I desire to be right before
I know that I accepted You
So help me live for You

Sin seems really cool
But the snake will blow
The poison in the vein

If I am pure
I will see You
Cleanse my soul

When will I see You
Eye to eye in the sky
Where bliss is forever

Why isn't communism as hated as Nazism?

It is interesting when people talk about evil people or systems, they always used the words Nazism or fascism.  They will never use the word Communism.  The system of Communism has caused great harm.
I am asking why Communism not mentioned in the same sentence as Nazism.
Here are some facts about Communism. China has killed 70 million people. The Soviet Union has killed more than 20 million people. There have been 5 million killed in Ukraine by Communism.
One in every three people in Cambodia has been killed by Communism.
If you look where Communism has been in Russia, North Korea, Vietnam, Central Asia, Eastern Europe and Cuba. They ruined the lives of well over one billion people.
I believe many reasons for Communism not as hated as Nazism.

1# Widespread ignorance of the Communist record 

I have heard that the left and the right hate communism and I believe the left (not traditional liberals), the left has never loathed communism. The left control the educational system, no one ever hears about the evil of Communism.

#2 The Nazis carried out the Holocaust 
The Holocaust is pure evil. This event is the most evil the common people can think of.
Communist has killed more people but the way that Nazis is sickening.

#3 The Words people like 
Communism is based on unproven ideas not based on real life and Nazism is based on racism.
The intellectuals in education are in love by words. They think words are more important than actions.
They like the words of Communism so they focus on the horrific actions of the Nazis. 
They dismiss the evils of Communism as perversions of "true communism". But I give them credit to this, they hate the words and actions of the Nazis.

#4 Germans exposed the evil of Nazism 
Germans have exposed the evils or Nazism and taken responsibility for that. Russia has never done anything similar to this regarding to Lenin's or Stalin's horror.
Lenin, the father of Communism of Russia is considered a hero. A University of London Russian Historian, Donald Rayfield says, "People still deny, by implication, Stalin's Holocaust."
The greatest mass murder and enslaver of them all is Mao Zedong.
Every currency note have his picture on it. The Communist Countries has not repented from their evils so Communism will be looked more favorable because many outsiders don't know history or facts.

#5 Communist Killed their own people
Communist killed their own people. The popular opinion will hate the Nazis and are indifferent if someone kills their own people. A good example are blacks killings millions of fellow blacks in Africa elicits almost no attention from "world opinion."

#6 The Left view the last good war was WWII  
In the view of the left. The last good war was WWII. The war was against Fascism and Nazism. The left does not regard wars against Communist Regimes as "Good Wars."
The war in Vietnam was immoral according to the left. The Korea conflict was ignored.
Until the left and their system acknowledge the evil of Communism has been, we will continue to live in a morally confused world.

It is sad that billions of people have been hurt or killed by Communism and many people don't know the history or facts. I will say that I am feel bad that people in my country don't know this, sorry.
I love you people that live in these countries or have. I know the truth.
