SOTU 2015

So, here's what President Obama said last night. 

The Union is good, despite my best efforts.  So here's what I'm going to do.  I'm going to veto anything congress passes, then demand that they work with me. 

Divide the Union!  Blame the Rich!  Let the Terrorists win!  Be a pussy on foreign affairs, and a beast to deal with at home!  Peace out Bitches!

Yeah, that's it.  The only thing he didn't say was "White people suck."  I'm not really sure why not. 

You know Einstein's definition of insanity?  Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.  President Obama has proved that his policies don't work.  Said so in the midterms, also adding that people didn't like the policies.  But he is so damned arrogant he doesn't care.  He is the "do nothing" president.  That's what he set up last night.  He is going to do nothing for the next two years.

He'd rather burn the union to the ground than to do anything good or healthy for those he is supposed to be responsible for.  His pride is leading us to our fall.

New England Cheaters OR What should happen for the Super Bowl

Tom Brady is a chump.

There, I said it.  I'm famous for saying it.  It's kinda my thing, you know?

But now, the Pats have been caught cheating against my Colts.

There are a few things that bother me MOST about this.  For one, the Colts never win in Foxborough.  Probably not in 20 years, maybe my lifetime.  The Patriots didn't NEED to cheat to win.  We fell apart this season, for those of you that didn't watch us.  So why cheat?  We shot off everything we had against the Broncos.  We had nothing left, which we proved.  SO WHY CHEAT?

Here's the second thing: this isn't the first time.  This has been the fourth time they've been caught in the Belichick-Brady era.  In the 2001 Super Bowl, the one that started the franchise, assistant coaches attended the Rams practice, to learn their play calls and what plays they were likely to use in the game.  They won specifically because of their cheating.

Then there was spy-gate, where they tuned their radios to the Jets' play caller frequencies, and listened in.  Again, the Jets were one of the worst teams that year.  They didn't NEED to cheat to win.

Then there was spy-gate 2, where the videoed the hand-signals of the other team's (I want to say Miami's) defensive play caller.  Very much cheating, and again not NEEDED to win.

Now, they cheated against the Colts.  And what's going to happen?  Nothing.  Why?  Because the NFL loves the Friggin Patriots.  Because they're the Patriots, they don't get in trouble.

Belichick claims that every team cheats.  Really?  They how come you're the only one who gets caught? 

Well, there is one exception: Sean Peyton.  His team tried to injure people, unsportsman like and a strict "no-no."  So the NFL suspended him from coaching for eight games.

So how about, instead of doing nothing, instead of a slap on the wrist.  Suspend Bill "The Hoodie" Belichick for the Super Bowl.  And next season. 

If this was a one-time issue, this would be an overreaction.  But it's not.  It's a culture of cheating.  A fine or some draft picks aren't going to cut it.  They don't mind paying to win.  And that's the problem.

Maybe the Chump and the Hoodie need to rethink this whole thing.  Maybe they should watch this. 

NFL 14 week 1-3 synopsis

So it's been a while.  Thanks for all who watched my live-tweeting during the Colts-Eagles game.

So let's dive into this.  Week one the Colts got themselves destroyed at Denver by Peyton Manning.  Manning, was, well... Manning.  Denver's defense was great.  We really didn't play that bad.  Denver was just that good.  I predicted it.  We embarrassed them last year in Indy.  They were embarrassed in the Super Bowl.  They were going to play for a vengeance, and they did. 

Week 2 was a different issue.  We were better than the Eagles.  We played better.  We should have won.  The only thing is, we can't beat the Eagles and the Zebras.  The refs cheated us.  They got one TD off of a pass interference call that was crap.  Their receiver grabbed a fist full of jersey of our cornerback, and that was somehow pass interference on our Corner.  That was crap.  Then they got an "interception," that wasn't, and should have been pulled back for a penalty.  We stopped them, and they gave another bad call that kept that drive alive and gave them another TD.  So their "last second game winning FG" should have never happened.  They should have been down 14.  It was crap, and that game should not count.  Man I hate the Eagles.

This week, we did well.  Ok, that's an understatement.  We had 30 points and Luck had 300 yards of offense in the first half.  We spanked Jacksonville, plain and simple.

Rest of the League:
Tom Brady is a chump.

RG III got hurt.

Tony Romo is the worst QB in the NFL this year.

In other words, not much has changed from the last couple of years.

Helping those with Depression

A must read!

http://www.relevantmagazine.com/life/how-help-friend-fight-depression#lzRgSGEdy55pQfUJ.01

A little personal

Last week my depression went into overdrive.  It's tough.  I'm not seeing much "fruit" here.  It's tough to come to this church and face the feeling that I'm on my own.  You'd think after feeling like that my entire life, I'd be used to it, but I never really escape it.

This week, we had a family visit with small kids.  They seemed to like it here, which is good.  But I was told "You won't get people to staff the nursery."  In other words, the church wants young families to come, but not provide anything for these young families.  They just want to pad their numbers without the cost.

Moreover, I'm very lonely, especially when I'm around people.  The guy who arranged for this job and was supposed to help me never showed when he was supposed to this weekend, which is really great when I'm feeling discouraged and ready to quit.

I had a very angry, very confrontational prayer time before getting in my car and leaving.  Most of the time, I want to get in my car and just drive off and find a place to live in the woods somewhere, off grid and away from pressure.  I'm tired of feeling like my entire life is lived out of obligation.  I'm sick of being obligated to other people.  I feel like there are several things that I am supposed to do, but can't because nothing that I do works.  Doors get slammed in my face.  Windows never really open.  I just get trapped, with others staring at me like a performing monkey.  I never get to be myself, because I only get to me who I have to be.

As I talked through with some friends of mine, I'm not even sure who I am anymore aside from what other people force me to be.  So I'm cutting back on some obligations.  I'm trying to decide if ministry needs to be one of them.

Human Trafficking Crisis

If you have been watching the news at all, surely you've heard about this crisis in Nigeria.  One man and his small army has kidnapped nearly 300 girls as they were going to school, and has made a public video saying he is going to sell them as slaves, which probably means in the sex trade.

My question is this: why is this a bag deal?

Don't get me wrong.  This is a big freaking deal.  But why did it take nearly 300 girls kidnapped before it mattered?  Shouldn't ONE girl be unacceptable?  Should this be a big freaking deal everyday? 

And believe me, this is an every single day issue.  It happens all over the world.  It happens right here in the United States.  According to Unicef, it has been reported in all 50 states.  Many of them are foster children.

Human trafficking can be forced labor (like migrant workers).  Most often it is the sex trade.  It happens like this: a fifteen year old girl goes to a typical high school party.  After being roofied and raped, she is photographed and blackmailed.  One girl's story, she told that she refused to go back, then her little dog disappeared.  She got a call where she could hear the dog barking in the background, until she heard a gunshot.  Then the caller said, "Your little brother's next."  She went to a hotel room where twenty men took turns, and left her bleeding and broken in the hotel shower.  When the maid came to clean, she called 911.  They took her home, where her parents chastised her for running away from home. 

This girl was picked up again the next night, and taken from Virginia to California, where she lived as a prostitute, locked in a fleabag motel, where she was raped daily until a police raid, when she was finally returned home.

I wept as I listened to her tell this story.  What if this was your mom?  You sister?  Your daughter?  Your niece?  Your friend?

The question isn't why the case in Nigeria is a big deal.  The question is why aren't the rest of them?

If you would like to help, I have recommended and will continue to recommend International Justice Mission.  www.twitter.com/IJM, or www.ijm.org. 

I told you so

Yesterday, I wrote about how Dems have a racist streak in them as a general party principle.

Today, I write because they decided to back me up.

Sec. of State John Kerry, (who according to IQ test is the dumbest presidential candidate of my lifetime) went out and made anti-Semitic comments.  He compared being at war against Muslim extremists to apartheid.  South Africa was a completely different situation.  In South Africa, white oppressed blacks.  In Israel, it is the terrorists doing the oppression of both Palestinian and Israeli.  They are seeking to exterminate everyone from the face of the earth, like Americans, white people, Israelis, even other Muslims.  Israel can and should defend themselves from terrorists.  We should support our allies, not our enemies.  But that would be a novel concept in this White House. 

A federal judge struck down Wisconsin's voter ID laws, again believe minorities incapable of getting a photo ID.  Again, leftists believe minorities are too stupid to get a drivers license or other form of ID.  Told you so!

Then Representative Bennie Thomas of Mississippi went further.  He went with the pat "Republicans are racist" calling conservative Clarence Thomas an "Uncle Tom."  Thomas, and many of his party, believe that Justice Thomas, Col. Allen West, and others are "traitors to their race" (similar language used by Hitler to motivate white supremacist) for stepping out of party lines.  Free thought is outlawed in favor of the willing enslavement to those who historically fought against their rights. 

He also said that no president has ever been treated as badly as Obama.  Really?  W. Bush was regularly burned in effigy.  Clinton was impeached.  Regan, Kennedy, and Lincoln were shot!  Recent polling says that 8% of Americans "believe that ObamaCare is working."  EIGHT PERCENT!  Opposing ObamaCare doesn't make you racist.  It makes you right!
