Game 7!

This month is quickly coming to a screeching halt. Yep. That was a not so veiled reference to Halloween. It is Wednesday, October 30, 2019, and I do bid each one a hearty hello and warm welcome to today's episode. If you are looking for something that will scare you, just watch the stuff coming out of Washington D.C. The President himself can be pretty scary at times. At the same time, even as outlandish as he can be, he is no match for the petrifying horror represented by those running against him and even more, those currently scheming to bring him down. This means, as of today, I am still of the opinion that we, as a nation, are better off reelecting the President to another term. Could that change? Certainly! But, thinking about the impact of the progressive agenda with its socialist leanings, well, I just can't go there. And, yes, as is my typical opinionated self, I am unanimous in that assessment. That's my unpaid political scary Hallow's Eve status check for everyone to consider. I do see people writing things challenging the faith in God of anyone who would support the President. My answer to that is simple. Compared to what? And, would we just stay home and not vote because there are no candidates that line up with what we see as a Bible-based worldview? Sadly, this has happened before and liberalism gained as Bible folks sat out the election. The bottom line: You do what you feel led to do and I will do the same. And, may God help our United States of America. Amen.

My grammar checking program has a new feature. This is a new thing. The previous paragraph was flagged because they deemed the tone to sound mostly disapproving. They have an emoji for that. It popped up. When I clicked on the box it indicated maybe I might want to change some of it. Really? I can tell you that to the best of my knowledge I was not angry at all when I wrote that paragraph. If concern shows up as part of their algorithm, the entire verbiage was saturated with it. I haven't researched this new feature. It might be well-intentioned, but, given the political correctness cabal that currently rules the world under the ruse of everyone just being nice, my guess is there could be an undercurrent of influence at work in that utility. I know many of you will want to know what I did in response to this enlightened 'Big Brother' tone monitor. I turned it off. Thank you very much. And, for the record, I do stand by my thoughts as given in my opening paragraph.

I do anticipate my writings will be under increased scrutiny as technology gurus work alongside the thought police to find ways to suppress points of view deemed inappropriate and unacceptable for publishing. One of the foundational principles of our Republic is found in our commitment to free speech. ~  Constitution of United States of America 1789 (rev. 1992) "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." ~ At the same time, I currently use a utility to record and publish my blogs provided by technology at no charge to its users. Those who own this technology and make it available for use will eventually decide what can and cannot be published with or without regard to our free speech rights as guaranteed in the Constitution. I do see that coming, but, meanwhile, I will continue to share fun stuff, real-life stuff, and, yes, on occasion, my opinions. As always, agree or disagree, thanks for your support and encouragement over these many years. May God bless each one. Amen. ....More later.
