From My Heart

     I have been a little out of touch with what is happening in the world because of traveling, but I was able to catch up a little bit last Monday! Ihope you have been paying attention to the situation Israel is facing over in Gaza. There are several hostages still being held by Hamas, and if Israel goes after them, the terrorists will kill them instantly. Thousands of Hamas terrorists have been killed since this whole mess started, but they are like rats - the more you kill, the more come crawling out of the woodwork to take their place! 

     Israel is surely working on a plan to get to these hostages, but if they fail and the hostages are executed, the people of Israel will turn against their leaders in a split-second! The military hawks are screaming for Netanyahu to go full-bore and guns-a-blazing to kill the terrorists - but if the effort backfires, and those hostages are killed…it will be a disaster for the leadership in Israel. So, what will happen? Well, your guess is as good as mine - but it is a delicate situation for sure. Please pray for Israel! In another huge story, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard, has released a ton of evidence linking Obama and his Cabinet of using the “Russia Hoax” to attack Trump’s first election as President, and then to perpetuate the lie (the hoax) to have him impeached (twice) during his first four-year term. The evidence she released shows what was known by anyone with any degree of common sense! However, it was all planned, schemed to perfection, and with the main-stream media helping the Democrats promote these falsehoods - believed by untold millions. The release of these documents by DNI Gabbard exposes corruption at the highest levels of our government. It shows Obama, Biden, Clinton, Clapper, John Brennen, Susan Rice, (now Senator) Adam Schiff, Congressman Eric Swalwell, and a host of others who were all in on the lie to get Donald Trump!

     So, the next question is: “Will any of these people ever have to face a court to answer for their lies and deception?” Well, let me ask you this, “Have you ever seen a Democrat brought to justice in our nation in the last 100 years?” If anyone is ever tried and convicted of any wrongdoing in all of this, I will be shocked beyond explanation! But the hoax was designed, planned, executed, and the main-stream media carried out the hoax for Obama and his henchmen. If you are waiting to see justice - I certainly would not hold my breath!

     Most Americans do not realize that everything done by our government is recorded, every phone call is monitored, every conversation is kept on file, every meeting has a record of who, what, when, where, and how! All of this was classified until now! The media covered it up and carried the water for the Democrats, and they are all as guilty as sin itself! Will there be a reckoning? Again, don’t hold your breath! I hope so - but don’t hold your breath!

Have a great day!
