The thoughts and ideas expressed below are exclusively those of Jack Straley and www.justplaintalkwithjack.com  We may agree, and that’s fine, or we may disagree, that’s okay too.  My sole purpose is to encourage others to think, study, and become involved. Exercise your freedom and above all, when presented the opportunity, please vote.

Laugh out loud, yes, that’s what the rest of the world is doing right now.  Guess what.  They are laughing out loud at the United States of America.  Every American should be outraged at the shame and disgrace this administration is bringing down on this once great and mighty nation.

Our government, led by the State Department, has set a new low standard regarding hostages being held prisoner in foreign prisons.  We have abandoned a patriotic Marine in Russia while leaving no stone unturned to free an America hating, lesbian, drug using, unprincipled female.  A not so proud moment in American history.

While drag queens read books at the library to our small children, our schools indoctrinate these same innocents to the good of socialism and atheism.  We require no one to pledge allegiance to our flag, stand and sing our national anthem, or believe in the teachings of the bible, yet we expect our nation to thrive and excel.

We have no borders and openly invite drug dealers and those engaged in the sex trade business to come in and set up shop.  We abandon our law enforcement personnel and load the judicial benches with extreme liberals that believe in no bail or penalty enforcement.  We print worthless paper money and distribute strictly to gain votes for one segment of the ruling elites ignoring the ill effects that follow.

Much of what I have just stated and we continue to see was repeated over and over again by the Israelites in biblical history.  Each time God was pushed from their society and they strayed, they suffered.  Are we at the point where God has become fed up with us and our ways?  Has he finally decided to let the people of this nation suffer the same strife that was experienced in ancient times?

Are we approaching the end of times?  Only God knows the answer to that, but we are headed to hard times because we are daily abandoning the ways we were taught.  Our current class of elected political leaders are focused solely on the access to power and wealth.  The good of the nation has been ignored and must be changed and redirected.  The only way to change is through prayer and voting.

We must become educated, stop living on false promises, and vote.  Welcome home Brittney, and Paul we continue to pray for your rescue.  God Bless America.
