These are perilous times we’re living in. Nothing is sure anymore. Right is wrong, and wrong is right. Everywhere we turn, things look bleak.

Today’s headlines on Yahoo said that Marc Bernier, an anti-vaccine conservative talk show host in Tampa, Florida, died after a three-week battle with Covid 19 – the third conservative radio commentator in a month.

He was preceded eight days earlier by Phil Valentine, a 61-year-old conservative talk radio host in Tennessee who mocked coronavirus vaccines but changed his tone after getting sick. He battled the disease for over a month.

Also having a change of heart, before his stopped, was Dick Farrel, a former Newsmax commentator and all-around coronavirus-denying, vaccine-resistant right-wing radio talk show host. The South Florida radio host died of COVID-19 complications on Aug. 6 at age 65 after exhorting fans not to get the vaccine, calling the entire coronavirus crisis a “scam-demic.”

Also, the lawyer for those who dared to enter the Capitol building after the stolen election is missing during the trials and is suspected of being in the hospital with – you guessed it – Covid 19.

It kind of makes you wonder how this tragedy came about since Democrats can party without wearing the worthless masks they demand others wear. A screenwriter could write a movie about how a shadowy group of evil and demonic people are surreptitiously spraying the virus with an atomizer wherever decent people gather to shut them up for good.

As for me, I left Facebook when they shut down President Trump. “Scrubbers” were already making my life miserable as well. Anything I posted that wasn’t politically correct was immediately scrubbed. Not only that, but some pimple-faced dweeb was hacking me constantly too. Just as I was about to go on Twitter, they too shut down the president, so I declined. I will not be a patsy to the leftist agenda to destroy our nation.

When Mike Lindell proposed to start up his internet platform, the internet dweebs made it very difficult for him to get his platform off the ground. Then came his Cyber Symposium, and you could hardly get through to it. And when you did, the sound would go in and out, or the images would halt just long enough to distort facial expressions. It was very annoying to deal with. Maybe we should all contact the Federal Communications Board. I know I will; I’ve had enough of the antics of these communists.

The left has caused much anxiety in stomping on our right to free speech, and it seems like their agenda is the only one you can subscribe to. Anything that you say can and will be used against you; so, if you are truly a conservative or Christian, be careful – be very careful but not afraid of these bullies. “If we fear God, we have nothing else to fear.”

It’s a wonder that the current situation, what with the stealing of the Presidential election of 2020, hasn’t erupted into a full-blown civil war. Conservatives are more prone to listen to reason and go to the courts than to burn down stores, topple statues of our founding fathers, and burn American flags. These actions all amount to destroying our own country from within.

It’s hard to imagine anyone destroying their own home built with blood, sweat and tears, but that’s the state of the nation today. We are lucky that the Second Amendment hasn’t been destroyed despite the left continuing to demand we give up our arms. In cities where guns are outlawed, only outlaws have guns and are killing one another in droves. It just so happens that these cities are run by Liberal leaders – where lawlessness abounds day and night.

If you were to think of how to destroy a country from within, all the tactics are being used today without restraint. Freedom of speech, decent morals, and the right to bear arms are being attacked without let-up.

This scenario is likely to bring up images of a criminal despot pulling the strings to cause our downfall. This despot is probably a limp-wristed man who throws a baseball like a girl, a bi-sexual man pulling the strings behind the scenes. Joe Biden is only good at one criminal activity, and that is to make – or shall I say take – money from the American taxpayer and others and distribute it to his family members. Other than that, he is a worthless politician and rotten to the core.

While this is going on, Louisiana has just been hit with a hurricane as devastating as Katrina back in August 2006 on the very same day of that year. I may be making too much of this happenstance, but come on, what are the odds? I’m inclined to believe God is trying to tell us something, and that something is – that He is in control and very angry with the way things are going, what with the destruction of the unborn, wanton homosexuality, and the denial of the Israeli state to exist as such, which Joe Biden just did in his recent meeting with the new Prime Minister Bennie Gantz.

According to some Israeli men who are familiar with Old Testament scripture, detrimental messing in the affairs of Israel is like poking the apple of God’s eye. These same men can point out that other catastrophic events in our country have coincided with such proclamations and actions against Israel by our government. If I recall rightly, then-President Barack Hussain Obama tried to interfere in that country’s election while he was in office in 2015.

This was heard just last night that Bill and Melinda Gates are preparing a system to keep track and allow only vaccinated people to travel and buy goods. Yes, these are perilous times we live in. But like I said early on – and it bears repeating – “If we fear God, we have nothing else to fear.” Tuck this other verse of scripture in your heart as well: “God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind.”

Note: I had to get up at 1:42 in the morning when the Lord gave me this message for this article. God often uses double entendres to express a thought, and here’s what He gave me: “Behold, whosoever is of my church and endureth of my church to the end, him will I establish upon my rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them.” (Bill and Melinda Gates?)

I was going through a trying time with an infected Lymph Node and hadn’t slept in three nights. This morning at about 6:00 a.m., I went to the emergency room of a local hospital to try to get some pain medication but was told Aspirin should do since the Amoxicillin they prescribed yesterday would bring down the swelling, and the pain would subside and eventually disappear.

Since it was still morning, and I hadn’t had breakfast, I popped into the Waffle House to eat afterward. The place was packed. The guy who came in just before me urged me to come and sit with him after sitting at a small, empty table. Jokingly I said as I walked toward the small table, “Are you’re buying?”

“Sure!” he said in a serious tone.

I approached and took a seat catty-corner from him to the inside. I said, “I was just kidding,” as I laughed.

“Well, I wasn’t,” the big, friendly guy replied.

As I sat, I added, “You must be really desperate for manly conversation.”

“Yep, I sure am.” He replied.

“My name’s Jim.”

“I’m Bruce.”

We ordered, and when the food came, I asked if I could say grace, telling him I always did so. “By all means,” he replied.

(Not being a politically correct person, I don’t care what other people think, and I will thank God anywhere at any time.) I said what came to mind and tried not to sound holier than thou or preach a sermon – like some of us are apt to do.

“Heavenly Father, thank you for this beautiful day, and thank you for the food and for a possible new friendship. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

A beautiful woman in the next booth facing me had been observing and smiled her approval.

Afterward, we began making small talk as we ate, and I could tell by the fishhook glued to the bill of his cap that he liked to fish. So, we talked about fishing and women (a man’s favorite subject). “Been married five times – but I still love em’,” he said.

Then we started to talk about the breakdown in society and finally about work. When I told him how I had once lived in L.A., he asked where in L.A. I mentioned Wilshire Boulevard. “I lived in that same neighborhood,” he exclaimed. “One of my two sons still lives there, and he’s working on a movie – a remake of West World.”

Naturally, I had to tell him that I was hoping to make a movie and that I was writing these days after having spent years as a S.A.G. actor. Then he got his son on the phone on the set, and I told Him I would email him so as not to interfere with his work.

That’s when I began wondering if this was a divine appointment.

Long story short, we left the restaurant together, and I showed him my new fishing rod as we made preparations to go surf fishing the following day. I don’t know what will become of this outrageous encounter, but I thank God for it.

Chance encounters like this one aren’t anything new to me, and if I failed to have one on any given day, I would be surprised. I live for just such encounters, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the bad ones as well, like this next one.

I went to the pool store for some muriatic acid for the pool. And the people who own the store are new in the community, having come from San Francisco. They are second-generation Chinese, and as is my nature, I was the first to welcome them here. They have one handsome son in his late teens who happened to be helping out in the store on that day. His mother was at the cash register, and his father wasn’t in that day. Nevertheless, an older black man was clerking as well. I was checking out when another man stepped in behind me. From the sound of his voice, he was of another ethnicity.

Sure enough, after exchanging words, he admitted to being Lebanese – but not really; he was ‘Palestinian’ who replied, “Them damned Jews…. blah blah blah.” The black man beamed his approval, and the mother, who speaks little English, looked bewildered as the conversation continued. Her teenaged son, who stood close by, had little to say; when I asked him a question, he didn’t reply. Then I asked if the cat had his tongue, and he replied, “I don’t like people.” That answer made me wonder why he said such a thing since we were always very friendly toward each other, and early on, I had asked if they had found a home church yet and had invited the family to mine.

After leaving in a state of bewilderment, I went over all that was said and why as I drove home. The Muslim man was obviously anti-Semitic, but he must have known that the Muslim ‘Palestinians’ wrested the Lebanese Christian nation from them. Lebanon was once known as one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

As for what the young man said – it could be that he had been encountering flak from classmates about the Chinese involvement in the Covid situation and resented it.

The black man only gloated and added nothing to the conversation. The tension was palpable.

My hope is to encounter each of them individually and to explain myself, giving them the reason for the hope that resides within me.
