So….Kyle Rittenhouse was found “not guilty” on all counts.

I’m one of those that was relieved. The jury’s decision was a rare moment of sanity in a world that’s gone completely mad.

To illustrate, Democrat Marxist, Cori Bush, tweeted that the verdict was “white supremacy in action.” Maybe she missed the video that proved Kyle shot three different white felons – all in self-defense.

Bush’s reaction is no different than the outpouring of hate, folly, bias, anger, and incoherence that has characterized the left long before anyone ever heard the name “Kyle Rittenhouse” – – or for that matter, “Nick Sandman,” or even “Trayvon Martin.”

The left “conveniently” forgets it was THEIR riots, THEIR savagery, THEIR burning and looting, THEIR lawlessness, THEIR lack of self-control, THEIR voting base, THEIR thugs, and THEIR ineffective city, state, and federal leaders that set all of this chaos in motion in the first place. The left is entitled to their own opinions, but they are not entitled to their own facts.

To anyone with the slightest tincture of common sense, none of this computes. There’s a specific group of people that routinely violate all structures of decency, logic, and self-control, and the issue is bigger than politics.

Here are a few cases in point:

Our current President put an end to America’s energy independence. He shut down our pipelines, burdened the oil industry with myriad regulations, excoriated fossil fuels, then begged OPEC to supply more oil to lower our gas prices.

Biden stopped construction of the wall at the southern border. He canceled all the contracts, left millions of dollars of panels to rust in the desert, and then he tried to blame Trump for the record surge of illegals.

Joe Biden thoroughly bumbled America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. In the process, he armed one of the world’s most committed terrorist organizations with $80 Billion dollars of high-tech weaponry, lied about abandoning hundreds of American citizens, and put all our allies on notice that America is not going to watch their backs if any trouble starts.

I could go on and on here since examples like these are so many. The last few years – and the last ten months in particular – have put a spotlight on a specific group of people that seldom make a proper decision.

They ridicule proven antivirals, defend widespread election fraud, rage against the protection of unborn life, trust ‘vaccines’ that really aren’t, celebrate dysfunctional men who compete in women’s sports, promote unconstitutional mandates, argue that there are many gender types, brand concerned parents as terrorists, give a pass to China for its massive greenhouse gas emissions, and believe males can become pregnant.

And I’m only scratching the surface of their foolish and improper ways. What gives?

The answer is found in Romans 1:28. This verse says, “…God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper.” Surrounding this verse is an outline of the choices that got these folks to this point.

To start, they have rejected God. They refuse to believe the evidence about God that’s seen in His creation. Rather, they choose to esteem creatures and the natural world instead.

They think they are being smart, wise, intellectual, and – ‘ahem!’ – academic. But their notions about evolution and how we got here, and the delusion that they can control the climate and this world we live in, only proves they are fools.

It gets worse. Because they reject God, His natural laws, and all those values which find their origin in the Bible, it only follows that they reject the truth that we are made in God’s image. That means the whole two-gender thing – “male and female” (Gen. 1:27) – doesn’t cut it for this bunch. It’s truth that they despise. So, the rest of us have to endure their ridiculous claims that men can have periods and that tampon dispensers should be put in the boys’ bathroom.

The larger commentary of Romans 1:18-32 reads like news now. It adds that this particular crowd is radically pro-homosexual, prone to strife and slander, totally untrustworthy, and – – violent. It’s all the qualities we see in this group and in their leadership today.

And – oh yes, let’s not forget that God gives them a ‘depraved mind.’ What’s that all about?

The Greek term for ‘depraved’ is rich with meaning. It means it’s a mind that is ‘undiscerning,’ ‘unable to pass the test,’ ‘unapproved,’ and ‘worthless.’ A very similar Greek term was used to describe athletes that were rejects – no good.

The explanation is simple. According to God’s Word, these folks have minds that no longer function as they are supposed to.

Ah – – that explains a LOT!

All those double standards, all those ‘laws for thee but not for me,’ all those screeches about racism where it doesn’t exist, all those rejections of proven science, all those inabilities to make sound decisions, all those cries to incite violence, all those claims that good is bad and wrong is right, all the blatant hypocrisy, all the lies and deception, all the irrational bellows to defund law enforcement, all those efforts to censor and suppress the truth, all that screaming at the sky, all that toppling of statues, and so on and so on.

It’s all because of a ‘depraved mind.’ That’s the issue.

Their brains are worthless.

 

So – we are basically 18 months into this worldwide viral pandemic. Feels longer, doesn’t it?

We’ve learned a few important things so far. The following data points have been reinforced numerous times by various leaders, doctors, scientists, and other “experts”:

COVID-19 is a very unique virus. There’s never been another like it. It is notorious for spreading at church events and religious gatherings. This is particularly true for those events within the Christian faith – and some Jewish elements too. It pretty much leaves Islamic mass gatherings alone.

It’s darn near fatal at Trump rallies, motorcycle rallies, and any right-leaning public events. Curiously, it seems to have no impact on Pride parades.

The virus is also camera sensitive. Records abound that show masks are unnecessary when cameras are “not” shooting and video is “not” rolling. But if they are – boy, let’s get those masks on! We don’t want to get sick, do we?

Democrat wedding receptions and recreational activities seem to be immune to this virus too. While the rest of us are ordered to stay home, Austin Mayor, Steve Adler, vacationed in Mexico; Denver Mayor, Michael Hancock, went to Mississippi; and Michigan Governor, Gretchen Whitmer, let her husband launch his boat.

If we’ve learned anything about this virus, we’ve learned it is an issue of zero concern whenever far-left leaders are having their public moments – you know, events like Governor Newsom’s dinner and President Obama’s birthday party.

The same is true for liberals’ private matters. It’s no problem for Pelosi to have her hair done at a San Francisco salon; there’s “nothing to see here.” But – Dallas salon owner, Shelley Luther, deserves to be jailed for attending to her clients’ and employees’ needs.

One thing we absolutely know for sure – any large public gathering is guaranteed to be a ‘super-spreader’ event. Count on that….

Oh, wait. There IS an exception. Those riots…uh, I mean, “peaceful protests.”

You know which ones I’m talking about – those ones where black garb and hidden faces are the fashion trend – those ones where the hammer and sickle is painted on makeshift shields, where eggs, flash bombs, and bricks are hurled, where streets get trashed, innocent bystanders get punched, where cars and businesses get burned, where cops are threatened, where statues get torn down, and so on. Yeah- those.

Those masses of people are not ‘super-spreaders.’ They’re just exercising their First Amendment rights. They’re…um, ‘peaceful,’ remember? No, let them be. They’re cool.

It’s the events like the ‘blue lives matter’ and pro-life gatherings that are guilty. And don’t forget those family worship events in parks. Yeah, THERE’S your bad bunch. Those are the irresponsible ones (…and such dangerous people too).

This virus is highly selective – much more than we’ve ever seen a virus be. It menaces certain businesses but not others. It even threatens certain parts of stores over other parts. Aisles where gardening supplies, plant nurseries, house paint, flooring, and furniture are found need to be closed off. It’s OK if other aisles stay open.

Many businesses are simply nothing more than danger zones. They should be shut down – or at least be so limited in their operations that they’ll be forced to close. The few businesses that for sure aren’t impacted by this virus include liquor stores, casinos, and pot stores.

COVID-19 is so bad, in fact, that we all need to get a vaccine passport. Anybody that doesn’t get one shouldn’t be able to fly or buy. Movies are a ‘no no’ for such selfish and irresponsible people as these folks. And no restaurants and concerts either. In fact – such people are a major threat to everyone else. They should just forget about getting a job or going to school.

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria put it bluntly. He said, “We have to start making life ‘very, very difficult’ for the unvaccinated.” Bill Gates recently suggested, “Don’t give them their Social Security benefits.”

Strangely, the vaccine passport – to say nothing of standard papers – isn’t required at our southern border. Studies show many thousands of illegal immigrants pouring through our border are COVID-19 positive. While the rest of us are being coerced to stay home, these unvaccinated and undocumented masses are being transported all over our nation.

SIGH…. In conclusion, let me leave you with one very wise piece of counsel: “Remember to get vaccinated, or a vaccinated person might get sick from the virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.”

Make sense? Nah – I didn’t think so.
