Prophetic Pest Part 2

Where do these people come from?  There is one universal consistency in our lives and that is we will always be bombarded by bombastic bodacious babblers.  Here we go again dawdling down deja vu drive with another headline grabbing prophetic pest.  I was hoping that the last article I had written about a religious radical was the last time I had to explain that mixing Church and State is never a good idea.  It’s another one of those banana cream pie & ketchup concoctions that end up with a bad taste result.  I should have known that my lambasting article on March 10th titled, “Prophetic Pest” wasn’t going to be the end of it and more of these slugs were bound to crawl out from under their stone home.  Let’s see what this collaborator of contentious commentary has to say, then.

His title is Pastor Jeff Jansen, another self-described prophet, who leads the “Global Fires Ministries International” in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.  First off, I am a simplistic soul who was raised as a Catholic (sorta) and was even an altar boy.  I recognized many other bone fide religious affiliations, but I have always been skeptical of our religious freedoms going “off the charts” and folks coming out of the woodwork, setting up these offshoot ministries.  Suspicious activity to say the least.  I don’t know this Jeff Jansen and I have no desire to do anymore research on him than I already have.  I always stop when I get to the word prophet and was thankful to come across that word in the 1st sentence.  This hodad is like the other hodad and has fallen victim to that Trump is still President conspiracy theory.  He should run for Congress as a Trumpublican since he would have plenty of company.  This kook, however, went into more detail than the last kook who said the shit is going to hit the fan sometime down the road.  This current kook is more precise and has moved the timeline up to April 25th, give or take.  Gee, what if it’s already happened and we missed it?  He goes into more detail than the last guy, but he’s a little mixed up about things that have already occurred.  For instance, he said, people will be “dancing in the streets!”  Well, yes, but that transpired 4 days after the election when Biden was officially declared as President-Elect.  He describes Biden and his Administration as “theater.”  I’d be careful there Bozo, you don’t want to bite the occupation that feeds you.  He also said he is not making this political, ehhhhh!!!  Too late!!!  To say this dude isn’t a JCL (carnival euphemism for a Johnny Come Lately) would be right up there with Trump conceding.  

I hope this is the last of these kinds of lectures.  I am not comfortable trying to explain the benefits of combining Church and State since there aren’t any.  Unfortunately, we have these so-called pseudo pastors that make headlines with their “off the wall” antics like the true Trumpublicans they are.  I am reminded of that verse in Charlie Daniel’s song, “Long Haired Country Boy” when he sings, “Preacherman on the TV, putting down rock & roll, asking me for a donation, cause he’s worried about my soul, Jesus walked on water, I know that it’s true, sometimes I think that Preacherman should do a little walkin’ too!”  This latest hodad comes from a long line of religious hodads proclaiming to be prophets, when all they really are, are profiteers!  Stay tuned…..!

The McGrinch That Stole Your Stimulus

I disagreed with my wife just now, something that I never do, since the repercussions are quite disturbing.  Here’s what went down.  She stated that Mitch McConnell can’t stoop any lower into the depravity he wallows in.  I stood tall, took a deep breath, looked her right in the eye and spewed out “Yes he can!”  It was a moment frozen in time and then she smiled.   No systematic repercussions followed.  Whew!  Now, as a politician, he has a certain inalienable right to say one thing and mean another, or to talk out of two sides of his mouth, but Mitcheroo, has the extraneous ability to talk out of two faces.  Unfortunately, those two faces resemble both Scrooge and The Grinch.  Isn’t it easy for someone with a net worth of $22,200,000 to stand at a podium in the hallowed halls of Congress and object to raising the stimulus check amount from $600.00 to $2,000.00?  Then there’s Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, who said there are too many citize...

Uncommon Failure

Okay, I’ll let you all be the judge and jury of the following statement that I came across that was buried in the dark corners of the internet where I usually find my strange and highly unusual articles of confoundation.  This is a Los Angeles Times letter to the editor ( https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-04-12/huntington-beach-ku-klux-klan ) about the “burb” of Huntington Beach.  Headline: “Common ground with the Ku Klux Klan?  Huntington Beach has a problem.”  The letter starts off with, “As Huntington Beach was preparing for a Ku Klux Klan rally and, in response, a Black Lives Matter counter protest, police department spokesman Lt. Brian Smith said,” now here’s the kicker, “We hope that they can utilize events like this as a means to find the common ground and work together for the common goal.”  ???  I thought I would substitute the usual WTF that usually follows an incredulous statement like that with question marks.  I never pass up the ...

The New Cult

Past cult leaders the likes of Sun Myung Moon, David Koresh and Jim Jones, exemplary role models for “Moonies”, “Davidians” and “Peoples Templers” are said to have had a charismatic  gift of gab and were able to ensnarl a whole slew of followers into their realm.  They, of course, have since passed into the great beyond.  Moon was 92 when he died of pneumonia, Korish was 33 when he and his zealots died with guns blazing and Jones 47, died with his lemmings from a bad dose of kool-aid.  There was a rumor going around that his last words were, “Hey, did someone spike this stuff!”   Like Stalin, Hitler and Atilla the Hun, these folks had the innate ability to sway the masses.  To this day, I still can’t figure out how.  I was more enamored with garden slugs than those “coots.”  Nowadays, we have a new malady in our midst, an anomaly if you will, who not only doesn’t have a gift of gab, but cannot even enunciate words correctly, uses alternative facts...
