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.

Life is great.  I still have my faith.  As long as we, any of us, have our faith and hope, we can survive and win.  Where are we headed now?  No one knows for sure but the horizon is looking dim and dusty.  It will take all the faith and hope we have to eke out a victory, but win we must.

Spring and a new season has arrived.  Trees are budding out and flowers show new growth and blooms welcoming the change.  Tonight the temperature is forecast to be 23 degrees, that’s spring.  March has come in roaring like a lion and we await the departure, surely to be like a lamb.  March and April showers bring thunderstorms and tornadoes, surprising, unexpected, and devastating.  Such is our world today.

This spring is bringing so much unexpected turmoil we wonder how we are supposed to react.  Our banks are in the process of being nationalized, our borders are becoming non-existent, and our children are no longer educated in reading, writing, and arithmetic.  Our judicial system has eliminated the rule of law and become the rule of the progressive left.  Our children are being brainwashed in the ways of sin, nudity, selfishness and dependency on the government for a living.  The LGBTQ group has more political influence than any organized Christian denomination, and we sit by and let it be so.

We sit comfortably by in our favorite chair watching March Madness, or any other show we routinely get absorbed in.  Our news is not gathered by effective, real news reporting but rather through social media filled with untruths, glitz and glamor.  Truth has become the enemy of the mass media and as such, most people prefer not to hear it.  I fear we are near a time, as in the past, when brother will take up arms against brother, not to destroy our union, but to save the nation and the concept it was founded on.

There are two actions I beseech all to become active in.  Number one is education.  We must cause a revival in true, honest education facts.  The time for indoctrination of socialism upon our young has been allowed to last too long.  The feel good so just do it morality has to change with a new season and new growth.  Parents and grandparents must take up this challenge.  Government is not the answer and will only lead us to self-destruction.  We must regain family time and speak of truth and justice around our family tables.  It is our responsibility to educate the generation we have ushered into this world.  No education is complete without a solid foundation and belief in God, and his guiding principles.

The second action is to become wholly involved.  Learn the truth and help spread it to all, creating an army that will not let the radical left, led by Joe Biden, erase this great experiment from reality and give it only three pages in future history books.  Talk to friends and neighbors at the coffee table, or on the street when you pass each other.  Leave the easy chair and attend public meetings such as school board, city council meetings, and any public forum held by politicians.  Gather your own information and knowledge, don’t wait to hear it on TV or radio.  Aid civic groups in their attempts to register all legal voters, then encourage them to vote.  Offer ride share opportunities to the polls for those that can’t take themselves.  Ask questions and offer answers to each other, always speaking the truth.

Easter is almost here.  Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of us and arose three days later, proving the power of God.  We need now to offer ourselves up to the cross of sacrifice and with the help of God our nation can reawaken and become the example to the world it once was.

Now is the time to pray, become involved, get educated, spread the word, and vote, saving our nation from socialism and returning to a nation of we the people.
