News Flash

Does anyone remember when the source of knowing what was going on in the world was the newspaper, which had a morning and evening delivery?  Then the television had news, with Walter Cronkite and others like he, telling us the news morning, noon and evening. Just the news. Radio was the away from home source for news. All had news, what was happening, headlines of what we missed during the night. Maybe some of it was slanted, or biased, but most was the news. The information. Given to the people to discern for themselves what it meant. Little of it had anything to do with the private lives of others. Just the facts that were pertinent to us.

Not anymore.  We have computers, smartphones, smartwatches. Social media allows news affiliates, and any person who has an opinion,thought or fact, shares to all who are ‘signed up’.  The problem is, too many people consider their thoughts and opinions are fact. And the same too many do not know the difference between a thought and an opinion.

A great many people mistake opinions for thought. Herbert V. Prochnow

News media has lost sight of fact and opinion. They get a few facts and decide what in their opinion will draw ratings and fabricate the rest. Which essentially is lying.

Objective journalism and an opinion column are about as similar as the Bible and Playboy magazine.–Walter Cronkite

The End is Closer than Yesterday

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. II Timothy 3:1-9

People have been crying out “ The End is Near!”  for decades, but this description of last days seems to describe now.

I am not saying tomorrow, nor that it can not get worse, but I do believe we are in those last days.

We are definitely closer today, than yesterday.

Lovers of ourselves. We have been indoctrinated to believe we must put ourselves first. Love everything about ourselves. We are not to accept any criticism nor give any. We demand everything to be our way, for me myself and I, because of the color of our skin and or our sexual desires. No one is to question their ‘inner self’ no matter how stupid it sounds.  To love oneself above others, it is the goal. Be what makes YOU happy. .  If YOU don’t work for you, change who you are, your body, your looks, your gender.  Bruce Jenner has become a hero because he dresses like a girl. Today if you don’t like having 2 hands and think you should only have 1, then cut one off. And then you can love yourself. Society has a new name for each new ‘species’ of man, other than lunatics… Transgender, Homosexual, transracial , furries, paraphilic infantilism Continue reading “The End is Closer than Yesterday” →
