Stupidocrisy: Ignoring the Message :: By Bill Wilson

One of the most egregious abuses of government power in American history has occurred, and those in charge claim they knew nothing about it. This doesn’t pass the straight-face test.

If the FBI or IRS or Homeland Security, or any of the other strongarms of the federal government can invade a person’s house, a person who is cooperating with investigations and is not a lethal threat to society, someone like former president Donald Trump, they can do it to you. And to show the complicity of political opponents, all you have to do is listen to their responses—they claim they don’t know anything. When a target like the former president is publicly raided, you can bet your jackboots they all know what’s going on.

Let’s start with the White House. As reported by several media outlets, because the White House Daily Briefing was not posted on whitehouse.gov at the time of this writing, Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said,

“No, the president was not briefed, was not aware of it. No one at the White House was given a heads up. No, that did not happen.… The president learned about this just like you all did — through the public reports, and we learned about this just like the American people did. We did not know about this, and we had not been briefed. We learned about this as you all were reporting it.”

When asked if the raid was politically motivated, Jean-Pierre said that she would not “speak to that from here.”

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) didn’t know anything either. She told MSNBC’s Morning Joe,

“All I know about that is what is in the public domain. I was surprised that it flashed on my phone last evening, so I don’t really have too much to say except that to have a visit like that, you need a warrant. To have a warrant, you need justification. And that says that no one is above the law, not even a president or a former president of the United States.”

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) told the Rachel Maddow Show,

“Well, I know nothing about it other than what I’ve read like everybody else, so I think it’s wise for me to withhold comments until we learn more.”

Can anyone say “Talking Points”?

Attorney General Merrick Garland isn’t saying anything either. Nobody knows anything about no raid.

We do know that the judge who approved the warrant for the raid, Bruce Reinhart, resigned from the South Florida US Attorney’s Office in 2008, then the next day went to work for convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s employees. He then donated thousands of dollars to former president Obama’s campaign. Later he was appointed judge. There’s always a connection.

Politicians who always know everything and now say they don’t know anything speaks volumes.

As in 2 Timothy 3:1,

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.”

One thing is for certain; the Democrats are sending a perilous message to those who dare oppose them. Ignoring it would be, say it with me… Stupidocrisy.

The Wrong Direction :: By Bill Wilson

A recent poll of 1,000 registered voters conducted by Suffolk University and USA Today indicated that the country is headed in the wrong direction, that most of the country does not approve of the job Joe Biden is doing, and that the economy, abortion, and inflation are the top issues on voters’ minds.

Now just to prove how the voting public is double-minded, if the elections for Congress were today, 44% said they would vote for the Democratic candidate, 40% for the Republican candidate, and almost 16% were undecided. Then almost 47% of those very same voters said they wanted a congress that “stands up to President Biden” rather than cooperates with him. But wait, there’s more.

Some 46% of voters said they were paying a lot or a fair amount of attention to the January 6 special House committee hearings, while 53% said they were not following the hearings very much or none at all. Only 16% said they were more likely to support a congressional candidate who has been endorsed by Donald Trump and campaigns with him, while 44% said they were less likely to support such a candidate.

This is an interesting finding since Trump-endorsed congressional candidates have been winning their primaries across the country. This poll was balanced 32% Democrat, 31% Republican, 30% Independent, and 7% other or refused. This ballot question does not bode well for Republicans this fall, especially when 44% said they would vote for the Democratic candidate. See the trend at this moment?

Slightly over 50% of the respondents think the US is in a recession. The impact of the current economy is causing 58% to go out to eat less often, 45% to cut back spending on groceries, 48% to drive less, and 45% to postpone or cancel vacations/travel.

In 2020, 45% voted for Biden, and 41% said they voted for Trump. Nearly 33% identify as conservative or very conservative, 25% consider themselves liberal or very liberal, and 36% said they were moderate. Some 17% said they trusted FOX NEWS the most, followed by 16% saying they trusted PBS/NPR the most. Then the very next question, 35% of the respondents said they trusted FOX NEWS the least, followed by CNN at 21% least trusted.

Some 76% felt the country was on the wrong track, while 15% felt the country was headed in the right direction.

Given all this, the people in the poll, which represent a sample of the American voting public, are very confused. They think the country is headed in the wrong direction, perhaps even in a recession, but will vote for the Democratic candidate for Congress.

The most trusted news network is FOX NEWS, and the least trusted is FOX NEWS. There is a failure to recognize that the political party in power is leading the country in the wrong direction. Granted, this is just one poll, but it’s indicating a dangerous trend.

James 1:8 says, “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” Christ said in Mark 3:24, “If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.” Indeed, this country is headed in the wrong direction.
