God is Judging America

Palestinian Media Watch Warning to the U.S.A.
There is overwhelming evidence that the contacts between the Palestinian Authority and the enemies of the United States are relations between allies who share a common ideological bond. Strikingly, hatred of the United States and disdain for the US role of world leadership are what unite them. As long as the US and the EU fund the PA while choosing to ignore or at times actually funding these PA-Fatah hate messages and symbols, the US and the EU are among the impediments to peace.

The Rarest Bird 'Round Katahdin Lodge Was A Formally Dressed Finley K.
I just remember that I took the shot because it was the only time I ever saw Finley wearing a formal suit and tie. At Katahdin Lodge, we stayed well stocked with food and other supplies all the time. Fin and Marty were next door neighbors while growing up on Sparrows Point. That made it easy for any of us to get together for holidays and birthdays. But I have no idea how that 1977 birthday cake, which was homemade for me by Winnie's daughter in Maine, could have been 100% perfectly tuned to my sweet tooth.

War No More
While the great wars since the 19th century have had underlying economic causes, those economic causes ironically were the product of liberal-progressive socialism, not of capitalism. Capitalism has never produced a totalitarian state

Katahdin Lodge and Camp's Dining Room
This beautiful, but serviceable, dining room table was the center of the Katahdin Lodge Universe. The most obvious thing to all who view this photo is the size and shape of the beautifully grained table. Look at all the room there is for big, deep, full bowls and wide, full plates of food. And look at all the room there is for losta' friendly folk to sit all around that table, and to enjoy each other's company. Anyone for Cribbage? How about a game of Yatzee ?

Non-Service Connected Military Veterans Disability Pension
I inform everyone whom I can about the terms of my Department of Veterans Affairs pension, because there are many other American military veterans who also qualify for one, desperately need one, but who have never learned of it. About a year ago, the DVA was ordered (I Believe it was by Congress)  to educate more veterans about their non-service connected pension benefits, so I know for certain that many vets don't know of these earned benefits.

Guiding Bear Hunters and Driving The Backroads of Maine
The hunting business is far better for a natural environment than the likes of the Bethlehem Steel Mill near where I grew up in Maryland. During the past thirty-some years, whenever I'm telling anyone my stories about my Maine adventures, they always think that tracking wounded bears at night without taking a firearm along with me was the most dangerous part of those experiences. That is not so. The driving was absolutely the most dangerous part of the job. I have ta' warn ya', there's photos of dead bears in this article.

Keeping Sodomists out of the Church
Wherever the Word of God is preaching Sunday after Sunday - as well as in Bible studies - the homosexual activists don't stand a chance. They don't even try. They know that a biblically knowledgeable clergy and laity don't take to their apostasy. Therefore, they go elsewhere.

Beautify America--Get A Haircut
When I was in Maine, during November and December of 1968, I kept my, slightly, long hair combed back behind my ears, or tucked up under my hat, so that it was not too obviously so long. I had to get a haircut in order to be able to live and work at my Aunt Martha and Uncle Finley K. Clarke's Katahdin Lodge, of Patten, Maine. In 1969, in the southern Aroostook County/northern Penobscot County area of the Great North Woods of Maine, longhaired men were not very much welcomed at all.

Who's Running for President?
This could be the national election that wins on emotional, teary-eyed, faint-prone swoon cakes rather than anything even approaching logic. America's future could hang on the mob psychology spun out by Muslim B. Hussein Obama.  So is it Wright running for PA Ave or is Muslim B. Hussein O.?

Oil, Oil, Everywhere, And Not A Drop To Burn!
On a local radio program, two newsmen were recently discussing the current energy debacle. One cited sources claiming oil to go up to over $200 per barrel and the price at the pump to rise to ten bucks a gallon within a time frame of only 2-3 years. His partner regaled how a friend of his does routing for oil tankers at sea. The newsman said he asked his friend, sarcastically, I take it, how much oil was idly floating out there on the ocean in those tankers. His friend replied so many that it is difficult for him to find space for them all. He referred to the scene as a parking lot. Any bells ringing in your heads yet, folks?

I just tucked away a photo of a teen who took his life a year and a half ago. He, unmarried, had a baby to a lovely girl. There were quarrels. Things didn't get settled kindly. My teen friend couldn't take life's pressure any longer, so he jumped in front of an oncoming auto, snuffing out his handsome figure. He left a note in his pocket.

After you finish reading this article, you will definitely wonder how I ever fit right in up in 1968 era Maine.
