The Best Part of American Politics

-



Do you know what I love most about politics?  It's always a shit show.  

That shit show is blowing up quite nicely.  The Midterm Election is coming up so everything is blowing up nicely.  The political ads will be on the TV, radio and in your mail.  Your email will be slammed with politicians asking for money to run their campaigns.  The news media will be analyzing the polls and trying to predict who will win.  Nobody will know until the voters have their say on November 8th.

The rhetoric has been heating up for a while.  It blew right up last week when the FBI raided Donald Trump's Mar-Largo home and the Democrats passed a spending bill that pumps billions into renewable energy and raises taxes on some Americans.  Of course, it started to heat up when the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade.  That pissed off the Feminist sector of the Democratic Party.  If it will have an effect on the current issues we face, that remains to be seen.

The Republicans are pissed off.  Trump is pissed off.   Everybody is pissed about something!  But the Democrats did get a boost in popularity following the events of the last week or so, according to some factions of the MSM (Mainstream Media).  They took a major political hit as they riled Trump's base according to other factions of the MSM.  

But do you know what the best part of all of this is?  

It's all bullshit.  That's right!  It's all a show designed to keep YOU distracted from all of the real problems that are facing us as Americans.  The problems that neither side of the isle has any clue what to do about.

So, enjoy it folks.  As of the time of this writing, you have 85 days left.  Then it all starts again when the presidential candidates start announcing their campaigns.

This article was inspired by my personal reading of the Book of Proverbs and is based on advice taken from the first nine chapters of the book.  This part of the book is written as if from a father to a son and it gives a good foundation on how we should live our lives how to act in our relationships with others. The Book of Proverbs is God's instructions to us on how to live wisely, or rather how the wise man should develop his character, live his life and conduct his affairs.  It also talks a lot about what temptations we should avoid so that we can keep our slates clean, walk the straight and narrow path, and live a peaceful and joyful life in the light of God.   Wisdom is the art of living wisely.  It is a Grace given to us by God.   I have picked out twelve of my favorite little snippets of wisdom to help you along your journey down the straight and narrow path.  So, if you want to live the good life of a wise man, then read on.

The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 1 - Personal Bible Study

-

So recently I started reading the book of Proverbs in the Bible.  A quick reading through the first few chapters showed me that I need to spend a lot more time actually studying this book if I want to even begin to understand it.  So much of it just flew over my head so quickly.  There is a lot there to digest.  There is a lot there to consider in light of ancient times vs. my own understanding of the world as it is today. I've always been interested in Ancient wisdom.  I even earned a minor in Philosophy while I was in college studying the likes of Plato and Lao Tsu.  But as I try to grow closer to God, I find myself longing for his wisdom and trying to understand his word.   1 These are the proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel, 2 for gaining wisdom and discipline, for comprehending words of insight, 3 and for receiving instruction in wise living and in righteousness, justice, and equity. 4 To impart prudence to the simple and knowledge and discretion to the young,

Yesterday, March 25, 2022, Pope Fransis Consecrated Russia, and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.   I spent some time looking for this in the news this morning, there wasn't much about it.  I had to dig deep.  There was a ton about the blood and guts horror that is going on in Ukraine but nothing about this.  I didn't find anything on the major news outlets until I searched.  Nothing in my feeds.  I figured it would at least make the headlines, being such a large and important event.   Catholics all over the world participated.  Most Catholic Bishops participated.  I participated. It was nice.  I went to my church, the Bishop came and led the prayers of Consecration, the Rosery and the Angelus prayer.   A lot of people showed up here in Portland Maine, to pray for an end to the war in Ukraine and to pray that it doesn't escelate into World War 3. I guess this isn't important enough to make it a major headline.  At least it shows where our priorities are.
