  1. Here’s a first-hand story of the Kenosha riots.

    This is the hidden content, please

    And now, a woman 
    This is the hidden content, please
     what her family recently experienced in the Kenosha, Wisconsin riots. In her post, the thing that stands out in my mind the most is that help was not on the way. The residents of Kenosha who stood their ground were completely on their own against the mobs rampaging through their neighborhoods. I’ve redacted some identifying information from her post – otherwise, the public post is exactly as she shared it on the social media outlet. All emphasis is mine.

    The day of the worst destruction, fires, looting, assaults… all of us in Kenosha were able to watch live -via independent media. The entire start to finish. The worst of it happened on 22nd & 60th, and I live on [redacted], so to tell you I was terrified is an understatement. The majority of Kenosha was watching our two [redacted] live footage well until 3am… police scanners on… bracing for the worst. It was apparent from the beginning there was no help. No police, no fire trucks no ambulances. None. Structures burned to the ground, people hurt and attacked were loaded into cars and raced to any hospital they could get to, rioters just broke into businesses and took what they wanted.

    And we all watched it happen. There was nothing we could do.

    A sleepless night, we faced the next day with more fear. A massive clean up effort, we helped as many homes and buisnesses as we could, brace for the night, we started to get inundated with messages from individuals and groups … targeting violence to specific neighborhoods, schools, libraries.. with fires and destruction… lots of messages. Most specifically targeting LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS… families!!!

    Cars and buses were coming in to the city with no plates… caravans of groups. Again, no extra police or national guard.

    But the rioters came to Kenosha that night again.

    Our PD and any help it had was standing ground at the PD building and courthouse… and many rioters did not know… our PD was trying to keep them from burning these down, not only because it was our infrastructure but because right between those buildings were A LOT of local inmates that were currently there due to Covid closing our jail (HUBER).

    Again live, we watched hundreds of rioters throwing Molotov cocktails at these buildings and burning our city garbage trucks and dump trucks to the ground that we were using to protect these buildings.

    I was afraid for the small line of policemen there that night.

    Everyone was urging me and Jim to take all of my animals and to leave the city… and let my house burn. To run far away from Kenosha. I love my home. Those who know me, know the pride we have taken in buying an (as-is) house and turning it into a home. And my business! Could I let it be destroyed?? Absolutely NOT!

    We have dear friends with a popular business just 4 houses away… we spend at least once a week there… they packed up boarded up and closed.. terrified … it’s on the main road.

    All of us were now under now a state of emergency curfew. Get home and off the streets! gas stations ordered to close and turn OFF all gas pumps..
    the sirens and alerts on all of our phones coming in non- stop.

    So we pulled out every firearm we owned. Loaded them up. And started to get ready… We were not leaving… Jim’s job told him to stay home and protect his family and home. Everyone in the city was getting ready for a war.

    Are you starting to feel anxiety reading this?

    Getting a grasp of how desperate we all were?

    Knowing no law enforcement was helping? And I’m telling you… NO ONE was there.

    I have a dear friend who lives in Gurnee. Has a home and a buisness there, and if she called me and Jim and told me her city was under attack, she was afraid for her LIFE and her store … I would help her. We would go to Gurnee and help her. Armed.

    And that’s simply what happened. The residents started to realize this was on us. And we organized. Groups and individuals-On rooftop businesses -in the neighborhoods. I felt a little safer that night knowing we had some help.

    So we watched again that night …live. Beginning to end.

    At the lakefront… there was a small police presence again, where our courthouse and Pd is…. but the PD was nowhere else in the city. It was just us left to fend for ourselves, watching live feed again, Listening to the scanners … lights off, house alarm armed. Curtains drawn – guns ready as we listened to where the rioters were, which way they were headed. Despite the state of emergency curfew the city was flooded with cars driving around with no plates on, groups of people destroying our city. Not enough police to arrest or stop not ONE SINGLE PERSON.

    Until the guard came to help… the entire city was left to its own defenses.

    Hell… we ran out of plywood to board up!!!

    I had the crates ready to throw the animals in and run… guns at every window and door. Constantly texting neighbors and friends around the city for updates.

    When we say, if you don’t live here, you could not possibly know what was going on.. do you now understand? How afraid the whole city was?

    The national guard FINALLY was called out – and did not mess around. The people who terrorized and destroyed Kenosha were not from Kenosha. Of all the arrests… most were from 44 other city’s. After our IDIOT governor finally asked, we got the help we should have had from DAY ONE. We had FBI and all the surrounding PD’s come to our aid.

    If…you don’t live here… you could not possibly understand what we went thru. People should wait before they jump to conclusions. I just am disgusted beyond words at the judgement that’s happening. DISGUSTED

    For those of you with children to protect, a business you put your heart and soul in… a home you struggled to own and pay for.. you have got to understand what we all went thru. The fear and the instinct to protect what you love, and what you worked so hard for is strong. I hope no one ever has to go thru anything like this. (

    The damage in Kenosha is astounding.

    Kenosha isn’t a huge city. It has a population of about 100,000 people. Until these riots,

    . But things changed fast.

    Here are some photos of the aftermath of the riots. Minus the damage from shells and sniper rifles, looks like

  2. Horrible call. If back in the spring we had seen the wagons coming around to pick up the all the dead I would understand. But since since the field hospitals and medical ships were never used and the numbers are being played with for political purposes and since the safety karans have found a new thing to get their panties in a wad about the cure is way worse then the sickness  

  3. Help me with my thinking. Morality tells the truth, but moralism lies. Morality is not about saying the nice thing, and moralism can unify people, but the truth divides people.  Moralism gives room to immoral things. ,like abhorrent political views, such as Political Correctness and Political Correctness is Cultural Marxism.  Moralism says “I should not say not nice things”, so to say you can always trust a communist to lie or  the only good communist is a dead communist, is wrong and should not be uttered, because it is not nice to want people to die , or call people habitual liars.  Even though said communist will lie and kill people, history has shown us that Communism or any other type of totalitarian form of government kills and imprisons  people for not following the mandates of the state. Morality says “this is wrong and must be stopped , at whatever cost  ,even at the cost of our own lives  because “we love our neighbors”  who will die or be imprisoned when Marxist ideas become law.”   It is easy to be moral ,and it is easy to hide our cowardice under the veil of moralism. But morality will not allow this. I am reminded of the story ,of a church, in Nazi Germany in the 1940's  that was by a train station, and one Sunday a train filled with Jews heading to the concentration camp stopped, and the church members could hear the cries of help from the train. Morality says "go help these people", but sadly all the church did was to mask the cries for help by singing louder. These church folks were  no doubt "good  people''; they loved their family, worked hard, were educated, they paid their bills and submitted to the government, but their moralism did not help those who were being led to slaughter. (Proverbs 24:11-12)

    It is easy to judge people from the past, and the last thing I want to do is set on a moral high-horse and say “I would never have allowed that”. Not when we see "wokeness" and a Marxist revolution going on in our country, and is destroying my neighbors property and life.  Not when my neighbors livelihood and job is being lost because they are deemed non-essential, because my health and safety is more important than the well being of their family . Not when the state is threatening to imprison or fine people for not wearing a mask, in the name of  my health and safety, as they let real criminals out of jail so they do not catch the COVID. No, I better stay off that moral high horse becuase the COVID might kill me, but the abortion clinics kill  thousands of babies a day. Moral people will take a knee when they are scared, but morality tells us to take a stand.  In the Bible we learn what type of people will not enter the kingdom of heaven, and I can check the “I am more moral than those sinful  people” box on many of them. I am not a sodomite, nor a thief,  I am not a drunkard, I am not a fornicator, I am not an adulator, I am not effeminate, I have never murdered anyone, but   the one that scares me,  the one that probably got those “good” church folks at the train station though and the one that will get many people today is  "cowards will not enter the kingdom of heaven" (Revelations 21:8)  See morality does not allow for cowardice, neither does God ,for morality is of God, moralism does allow for cowardice. For moralism allows us to justify our immorality before God.
    But here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst (1 Tim 1:15). So I am glad that I am saved from my sin of not only cowardice, but all the other ones on the list.

    My point is, morality is not nice, at best apart from Christ we are moralist and in Christ at our worst we are moralist. So how do we as Christians apply the gospel in our everyday lives as lawlessness and tyranny become the norm. How do we live this out in courage, with sound minds able to think clearly ,and deeply as the foundations are destroyed. What is the proper way to apply force if the mob comes to our house, if the government comes to steal our children and the law of man sides against us?  How do we not submit again to the yoke of slavery as Galatians 5 tells us not to do. I do not wish to think like a child, I wish to put away childish thinking. It is 2020 and America is a post-modern and post christian nation, so being in the majority probably means you are doing something contrary to the gospel.  How can we love our neighbor as ourselves when our neighbors are losing their unalienable rights? So do not give the moralist reason, give me the gospel reason. Is not being a coward telling everybody God loves them, or is it entering into their suffering? Does entering into their suffering mean we literally fight with them in battle as our grandfathers did in WWII are we to be pacifist? Do we stand up to bullies and punch if need be ,or do we just help the victim after the bully gets through with them? Can one stay neutral in a civil war?  Last time I checked there is no commandment of thou shalt be nice, but the church seems to think there is and the other 10 do not matter. Do we believe the Bible when it says there is a time for war and a time for peace ,and what are the consequences if we confuse the two? I am not looking to be a good little boy, but a strong Christian man.
    Like I said any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

    I got two weeks off work as of the end of Friday a week ago. This past Monday I went to a COVID 19 screening location here in Houston. I stayed in my car, in line for 10.5 hours, from like 7:15am until 6:05pm.  

    Long story short I received a call this past Thursday at 6pm. saying that I tested positive.  So I am quarantined for sure.  I can go out in the yard.  Mostly I stay inside.  I am not complaining.  I read all the stores of other people and what they are going through.  It could be worse.

    The stream of the worship service for my church comes on in  1 1/2 hours or so.  Looking forward to that.  Happy Sabbath.

    praying for ya

    Of course this year is not over yet but looking ahead to next year. What area teams could be positioned for success?  Excluding Yates. Lol.  Some moved down A classification and should benefit from that.  What about Coldspring and EC?  

    Huntington is always next years team.

    Best as I can tell, just a stepping stone from a Republic, to Socialism. to Communism.

    One thing I’m adamant about, the Single Payer Medicare plan gives the Govt to much power.   Sooner or later, that power will be used.
