    E 296: Season 4 - Too many Goliath's and not enough David's

    Join us today as we explore Ezekiel 34 and the fall of God's Shepherds of old, and ponder who and where are the Shepherds of today. Marks going to walk us through a discussion that will lead us to find the Shepherds, the David's and the Warriors for Gods people today. In preparation for Marks study, I referred to Siri for a few commentaries on the book of Ezekiel.  I found an article by Jon English Lee helpful.  He serves as Academic Dean and Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary "By way of set up, Ezekiel is working at this point in Israel’s history after the kingdom had been split.  If you will remember, King David was ruling, then king Solomon.  But after Solomon the kingdom splits between the north and the south. And eventually, because of their sin and their unwillingness to obey the word of God, the kingdoms were conquered and taken into exile." "It is during Ezekiel’s life that the southern kingdom, called Judah, was defeated by Babylon and taken into exile. Ezekiel himself was carried off, and appears to have settled with a colony of Jewish captives in Babylon. Indeed, the theme of exile is all over this book." "This first section begins very bluntly with an indictment of the shepherds of Israel. Because the people of God in the old covenant were both a religious group and a political nation, the category of shepherds of Israel would have included both religious leaders and political leaders. Priests and kings, Levites and magistrates." I proposed to Mark that most folks can guess who our political leaders are today, but identifying the Shepherds might be problematic. Which religion would we default to as the one with voice and influence that could reach all faiths and denominations? Send a text

    E 295: "You Can't Handle the Truth"

    Join Mark and I today as we make the case for justice and accountability.  It's time to hold some folks to account.  If not, the mid-terms could hijack the Golden Age and MAGA's momentum. The left remain hell bent to distract away from the massive accomplishments all Americans have benefited from since Trump took office, and they can't have that.  Distractions, Government shutdowns, and Chaos that divides are concussion grenades that seem to work for them. Serious accountability to corruption and fraud is the only answer.  The coverups must be uncovered and the guilty must go to jail. Members of both parties are clamoring for justice for Epstein’s victims, with many lawmakers counting on the release of the DOJ’s Epstein files to reveal more information about who should be implicated in wrongdoing.  I think it’s funny that no one was clambering over these files during Biden’s presidency.  This is one of many chaos driven concussion grenades the left likes to use to simply cause a distraction.    After being repeatedly criticized for allegedly weaponizing the Department of Justice in the Epstein case, violating the rights of victims set by the Epstein Files Transparency Act and intentionally obscuring the names of co-conspirators in the files, Bondi was summoned for a House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on February 11, 2026.  Mark and I agree.  Remove all the redactions and release the entire file to the world.  Let the guilty be exposed.  Until this "conspiracy" is fully released without redactions, this will only distract from the many great accomplishments Trump continues to deliver.   In other News: Trump and Lee Zeldin, the EPA Secretary, trashed Obamas “Environmental findings” gutting environmental regulations for all mobile industry.  Saving of $1.4 trillion. Government shut down again last night over ICE funding.  The left fail to realize that ICE has already been funded through next year from the big beautiful bill.  Concussion grenade and chaos. Washington Post laid off 1/3 of its staff. Raugh, the would be assassin at Trumps golf course was sentenced to life in prison. Allegations of fraud in MN is now estimated to be nearing $30 Billion…in MN alone! Bret Stephens an opinion writer for the New York Times had a piece Tuesday that asked the question…”Will Newsom be the democrats next mistake?”  Here’s a quick list of the governors  contributions to California and his list of qualified failures as to why he shouldn’t even run for President. California ranks dead last in a recent study stating that it is not affordable for the middle class.  One in six Californians live in poverty.  The average income of the top 5% Is $600,000 higher than the bottom 20%. California accounts for nearly HALF of the Homelessness in the entire country.  The $24 billion allocated to address homelessness is no where to be found. 1.3 million left, quit, and departed California between April 2020 and July 2025. California's education k-12 ranks #38 in US behind Mississippi and Louisiana. California’s $128 Billion High-Speed Rail –better known as the slow rail to nowhere.  Initially thought to cost 33 billion when complete… never left the station… the money did but not the train. America can't afford another corrupt politician to be in consideration.  We need to retain the House and the Senate this November.  There is so much to do and Trumps  current team has the integrity of character to deliver.

    E 294: Season 4 - How to break the fever of late stage Trump Derangement Syndrome

    If you joined us last week, Mark and I closed the show promising to take a closer look into whether Trump Derangement Syndrome is even real and if so, is it truly a mental illness or just a disorder?  Are there different stages and what causes TDS in the first place? Last week we stated the obvious…if you feel sick…get some help.  We used the fever of a sick child analogy...to simply point out that if your kid is sick and has a fever…call in to work and stay home and care for the child vs taking him or her to school to get the other kids sick. The same discernment or wisdom holds true for adults.  If you feel like smashing someones head in or feel the urge to scream at law enforcement officers at the top of your voice with blood vessels popping out of your head…maybe you should call that a sick day, avoid protests of any kind, maybe stay home and take a warm bath.   There’s a lot you could do to make yourself feel better.  Isolation for a season would not be a bad idea.  I think Mark called it self reflection. Mark also suggested checking in with other resources…ping what you’ve been told with a completely different source and ponder that perspective / position for a while.  Don’t just listen to the one guy offering free kool-aid.  He might be a crazy nut job that wants everyone to die for his cause and not yours. When you're sick and under the weather, the objective is to get well, regardless of what stage the sickness.  So maybe we should focus all our energy into how best to do that.   Let's start with a shower.  Maybe change the linens on the bed.  Open the blinds and let the sunshine in.  When you're ready grab a bite to eat, but today choose something different to feed your soul.    Pick up a Bible or a daily devotional or something that is uplifting, encouraging and speaks truth to your soul.   Do a Google search of Bible scriptures that speak about how to have a victorious and prosperous life.  There are over 100 scriptures in the Bible that speak about this very topic.  That's a lot right?  Wonder why there's so many?  Maybe our creator knew we were going to need some encouragement and healing along the way.

    E 291 - Season 4: Sunlight is the best disinfectant

    The Nancy’s and the Bernie’s stayed in power way too long and failed to bring up a second or even a third generation of thinkers, orators, persuasive personalities that were capable of leadership. It’s unclear who is leading the “counter to everything” movement for the left.  The old guard for the most part has shrunken back into the shadows of old age and tired ideas.  Their once hopeful replacements have proven to be weak, underwhelming, Parrots of rhetoric that no one believes anymore.  Kamala’s word salad comes to mind, the Waltz knucklehead show, and the Newsom Nonsense come to mind.  These are not the future of the Democrat party. It’s the younger, far left “pop gunners” that have emerged…the squadters, AOC, Mondomie, Crockett, and the like.  These are the ones that understand social media and the message that social media users want to hear.  You’re a victim.  You deserve a participation trophy.  We will tax the rich and distribute some of it to you serfs.  You also deserve free stuff.  Lots of free stuff.  We’ll get that for you. But for the record, there is another emerging movement that could even take over the younger new elites.  It’s the Anarchist.  The currently unmasked puppeteer (s) behind social media and crowd sourcing that are effecting change and promoting propaganda.  Think about that.   Our country is being hijacked by the left and the lefts leadership is exploiting the dumbest of their ranks to protest and usher in the chaos they seek. Greed and self preservation is the core demise of American leadership. Congress allowed Biden’s administration to run amuck with no pushback.  Why?  Greed and self preservation.  Leadership in MN turned a blind eye to Somoli fraud.  Why?  Greed and self preservation. Two obvious attributes of godless behavior.  It’s not what’s best for “your community”…they don’t give a rats ass about their community…truth is “it’s all about what they can get…and get-a-way with.”  It’s greed and self preservation.   And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, (Rom) 1:28.      For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, (2 Thes 2:11)      And evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Tim 3:13)     But to you, brothers, Jesus answered, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.  — Matt 13:11-13  Isaiah 59: the way of the wicked defined “your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, (interpretation: a lonely and unsuccessful existence). They do not know the way of peace, And there is no justice in their tracks; (interpretation:  following these people does not offer a better way for you) They have made their paths crooked, Whoever treads on them does not know peace. Therefore justice is far from us, And righteousness does not overtake us; We hope for light, but behold, darkness, For brightness, but we walk in gloom. (This is your tomorrow and the day after and the day after that…unless you wise up, repent and turn from listening to and following wicked leadership) Isaiah 59:2-9, 12-15  “The Lord your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.” Zephaniah 3:17 NASB1995 Send a text

    E 290 - Season 4: Operation Absolute Resolve & Minnesota's Somali Fraud Scam on Taxpayers

    What a difference a week makes!  We just finished ringing in the new year and already we've learned of a nationwide institutional syndicate Somalian Fraud scheme on the American taxpayer that could reach $18 billion in theft and that's just Minnesota! Trump has frozen over $10 billion in welfare payments to five other states until the investigations shed more light of the depth and breath of the fraud. We have protest in the streets of Minneapolis, harassing and obstructing ICE law enforcement from doing their job and one dead agitator that failed to listen and comply with law enforcement instructions.   Venezuela is in the news and their former outed Dictator President Mauro has been extracted by force and is being detained in the Brooklyn Detention Center.  There's a house cleaning underway in the Western Hemisphere. In a hearing this past week one congressman asked the question “does large scale Somalia immigration make MN stronger or weaker?”   Answer: “most certainly strong” Question: “Stronger you say? Do you know the % of Somalia households that are on welfare?" No.  81%. After 10 years of living in America what percent of Somalia households remain on welfare? I don’t know was the response from the Minnesota repressive.   78% was the answer, yet representatives continue to tell us that the Somalian community contributes greatly and is very valuable to MN.   Chairwomen of MN fraud committee investigation, Kristen Robbin’s reported that it’s not just jewelry, and expensive cars that many Somalia daycare operators are driving around town, they have bought a resort in Kenya, an apartment building in Nairobi and land in Turkey.  Not to mention they are sending money to Alshabob.  Friday evening a week ago, 150 aircraft extracted outed President Maduro and his wife from their bedroom at 2:00 am Venezuela time. But there is good news on the horizon. Trump is placing a ban on institutional corporate home acquisitions that buy up homes only to rent them out to families.  “People live in homes, not corporations.” Trump vows to support a 1 year 10% interest rate on credit card companies gauging those that need there credit cards to pay for everyday necessaries. The people of Iran in the number of millions are in the street protesting and demanding the mullas be removed.   Hold on to your hat and your sanity.  Things are guaranteed to move quickly this year.  But remember this.  God is in charge.
