Three Stories of Reflection :: By Bill Wilson

There is so much news recently, it is difficult to keep on top of it all—if, indeed, one even wants to keep up with it. Today’s Daily Jot will try to run down some of the stories we are watching and why they are important.

First and foremost, Universal Studios has announced it is suspending the release of its film, “The Hunt,” depicting elite liberals gathering together at a five-star resort to embark on a “deeply rewarding” hunt for sport to kill 12 “Make America Great Again” humans known as “deplorables.” In a statement, Universal said, “we understand that now is not the right time to release this film…all agree the film could wait.” This just means that Universal may release “The Hunt” sometime in the future.

President Donald Trump summed up in a tweet why this film is so important to Americans:

“The movie coming is made in order to inflame and cause chaos. They create their own violence, and then try to blame others. They are the true Racists, and are very bad for our Country!”

This movie is a continuation of what has been going on in this country, and it is getting worse by the hour. A page out of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals advises Marxist activists to accuse their opponents of what they themselves do, and make it very personal. This toxic movement among leftists and the media is an attempt to label anyone remotely associated with supporting conservatism and patriotism as the most vile of human beings.

Another story we are watching is the alleged suicide of accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Many powerful people have been named by victims who accused Epstein of running a sex trafficking ring of underaged girls servicing the rich and famous. Former Senator Robert Mitchell (D-ME), former Governor and presidential hopeful Bill Richardson (D-NM), and model Heidi Klum are among them.

Investigative reporter Corey Lynn has developed a chart of Epstein’s sordid network and how people are connected.

Making the list are former president and first lady Bill and Hillary Clinton, the immediate past president, former attorney general Eric Holder, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), the Clinton Global Initiative, and more.

This story is important because it could unveil an enormous sex trafficking network by prominent politicians.

A third story worth watching is that of former vice president Joe Biden (D-DE). Biden has said some remarkable things lately:

“Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”

He also said, “We choose truth over facts.”

He said as Vice President he met with students after the Parkland, FL, high school shooting, but he had resigned the previous year. Biden also confused the locations of the most recent mass shootings, saying they were in Houston and Michigan.

These are just the past week’s batch of Biden gaffes. It is important to demonstrate the double standard of the media, and the mental condition of the man who would be president.

These stories reflect where we are as a nation.

Proverbs 28:4 says “They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.”

We must contend for what is right.

Have a blessed and powerful day,

How Can Satan Cast out Satan? :: By Bill Wilson

The visceral rhetoric continues as the opponents of President Donald Trump pile on with accusations of racism and white supremacism. Over and over again, using every opportunity, this president is being characterized as a racist and white supremacist by Democrats and the media. The shootings in El Paso, TX, and Dayton, OH, fueled the flames of outrageous politicization of mass killings. Leaders of this country are so busy labeling people who disagree with them with derogatory names that the horror of what happened, the lives it took and impacted, are just a sidebar to a greater agenda. Shame on these politicians for wasting no time in using this crisis of death for political gain.

Democratic presidential frontrunner, Joe Biden (D-DE), told CNN, “This is a president who has said things no other president has said since Andrew Jackson. We went through this before in the ‘20s with the Ku Klux Klan, 50,000 people walking down Pennsylvania Avenue in pointed hats and robes…We went through it after the Civil War in terms of the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacy.”

The immediate past president also poked at Trump: “We should soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred or normalizes racist sentiments; leaders who demonize those who don’t look like us, or suggest that other people, including immigrants, threaten our way of life, or refer to other people as sub-human, or imply that America belongs to just one certain type of people.”

Trump responded to the shootings by stating: “In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart, and devours the soul.”

Then he went on to reasonable solutions to the problem—1) identifying early warning signs to detect mass shooters before they strike; 2) stop the glorification of violence in our society, including the gruesome and grisly video games; 3) reform mental health laws to better identify mentally disturbed individuals who may commit acts of violence; and 4) ensure that those posing a grave risk to public safety do not have access to firearms, and that, if they do, those firearms can be taken through rapid due process.

Every instance is being used to characterize Trump and those who may support him as racists, bigots, and white supremacists. Other than banning guns—which is proven not to work in California, Chicago and Baltimore—they have no concrete solutions.

But who is offering condolences, condemnation of these accusations, and solutions to the problem? Who is saying, “Now is the time to set destructive partisanship aside—so destructive—and find the courage to answer hatred with unity, devotion, and love?” Trump, that’s who.

Who is fanning the flames of division?

Christ said in Matthew 12:25, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.”

He also asked how can Satan drive out Satan. Indeed.

Have a blessed and powerful day,
