‘Twas The Plight Before Christmas :: By Steve Schmutzer

 

‘Twas the plight before Christmas, and all through the House
all of Congress was showing the brains of a mouse.
COVID masks cluttered their desks without care;
no photo ops meant they could simply stay there.

Fraud and deception poured from the Feds
as ‘Build Back Better’ danced in their heads.
And Joe, with his prompter, was giving us laughs
as he mumbled at random with his typical gaffes.

On the floor, shutdowns became such a chatter,
Aides sprang to their feet to assist in this matter.
There in the chamber, scams swelled in a flash;
they ripped logic apart and threw truth in the trash.

Their talking points needed some polish to claim
their tyrannical plans didn’t deserve any blame.
When, what to discerning minds should appear,
an incompetent Doctor the libs lauded so dear.

With his pattern of lies, and since truth made him grouchy,
I knew in a moment it must be “St. Fauci.”
More dense than a rock, his supporters became,
and he thrilled as he shouted some terms of his fame:

“Now Virus! Now Delta! Now Mandate, Now Passport!
On, Booster! On, Tracker! On, Vaccine and Distort!
To globalist goals! To America’s fall!
Now crush away! Crash away! Smash away all!”

As the left’s agenda came hurtling through the air,
the little ‘expert’ reveled in haughty grandeur there,
So up to the House-top, the wicked plans flew,
all chock full of lies which they all clearly knew.

And then, in that moment, I sensed in my heart
the timing and purpose of each little part.
As I gathered myself and contained my despair,
an image gained focus; I became more aware.

A King on a horse, with crowns on His head,
and his garment was stained a deep bloody red.
He was coming for war, and His mouth had a sword,
He was fierce in His anger, His wrath He had stored.

His eyes – how they burned! His armies, they came!
On His robe and His thigh, there was written a name.
“King of kings, Lord of lords,” His identity clear,
the leaders of earth quaked and trembled in fear.

With the blade of His sword, He will conquer His foes,
He will strike down the nations and save those He chose.
Arrayed in fine linen, snow white at His side,
His armies that followed were known as His Bride.

He was regal and righteous, of glorious might,
and He laughed as the wicked prepared for a fight.
His rule will be just, and His reign will be strong,
He will dash into pieces all those that were wrong.

He’ll speak only a word, that’ll wrap up the fight,
His fury abated, He’ll bring back what’s right.
I returned my attention to the woes of these times,
to the lawlessness, lies, and the folly and crimes.

I have a real hope that burns bright in my being,
It is coming for sure despite what we’re seeing.
I therefore exclaim before we all lose our cheer,
“Merry Christmas to all, Christ’s Coming is near!”

Stupidocrisy: It’s Just a Mess :: By Bill Wilson

There are a lot of bad things happening in this country. We have elected leaders that are supposed to handle at least some of them through policy changes or adjustments. But overall, they are doing nothing but the opposite. It is almost like they purposely want to destroy this country. And it is quite obvious they care little about the right to free speech, the free exercise of religion, and your right to privacy.

All this begs the question as to why we allow them to continue to destroy our way of life. It is almost uncanny. The Congressional job approval consistently is in the teens, but everybody reelects their congressman. Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.

Let’s take a bit of inventory.

There are ships backed up in harbors across America. Goods cannot be delivered to the stores. The higher demand for fewer goods causes prices to rise. Joe Biden and his party-first mayors and governors exacerbate the problem with COVID mandates, reducing the supply of workers. Crime in major cities is sharply higher with murder rates up 30%, the highest in history. This, after Democrat mayors in major cities supported defunding the police.

Their solution now:

Restore some funding, but crack down on gun ownership. Meanwhile, mass robberies plague inner cities. Biden’s solution is to send your tax dollars to these hellholes so they can hire more police. Create a crisis so you can expand government, I guess.

How about the energy crisis?

If you look at what you are paying at the gas pump, it’s a strong indicator of why you are just not having enough money to go around. Gas prices are up 40% since Biden took office—that’s from a $2.25 per gallon national average to $3.13 today. This affects almost everything you buy, from groceries to your electric bill.

Why the rise?

The Biden Administration is bent on forcing the nation to address climate change—the weather—with “green” energy. Canceling supply delivery options like the Keystone Pipeline and ending oil exploration and leases on federal lands has turned the US once again into an oil-dependent country. There is no “green” energy infrastructure to economically replace or even transition away from oil and gas.

Local, state, and federal governments are trying to take away your rights to free speech and religious freedom over COVID–even your ability to provide for your family if you don’t take the government-mandated serum. At the same time, COVID cases are skyrocketing among the “vaccinated,” and people are dying in hospitals because the government-mandated protocols are only about 50% effective.

But, you know, Biden surely can focus on the greater threat to society—Parents speaking out at school board meetings against some of this stuff. For their heartfelt and peaceful dissent, they earn the label of domestic terrorists and come under the watchful eye of the FBI.

Proverbs 14:16 says, “A wise man is cautious and departs from evil; but a fool is reckless and overconfident.”

It’s just a mess. Say it with me… Stupidocrisy.
