The coming idiocy

Have you read the headlines lately? Do you see what this crop of Democratic representatives in Congress are promoting? Here's the short list: voting rights for noncitizens, an end to the electoral college, free college education, minimum mandatory income, up to 85% taxes, expanded socialist healthcare, abolishing border security enforcement (ICE), carbon taxes to change the weather (AKA: climate change), sex education promoting BDSM and other deviant sexual behaviors, banning gun ownership, support of Islamic terrorism against Israel, and more. Impossible, you say? Crazy? These things could never happen? Recent history indicates that there is no limit to the coming idiocy. Here is a brief rundown
 
In 1973, what seemed impossible happened-the Supreme Court legalized abortion. For decades, however, this government-sanctioned genocide was forbidden to be funded by tax dollars. After the immediate past "president" was elected, Planned Parenthood came center stage with even more tax support. Now, though they claim that no abortions are performed with the aid of tax dollars, the reality is that any federal funding helps them keep the lights on in their death clinics. And yes, your and my hard earned tax dollars are paying for it. Planned Parenthood has Capitol Hill briefings for Democratic Congressmen's staffers guiding them on how to use tax money to aid and abet killing babies. 
 
Remember when the vast majority was against same sex marriage? Even over 60% of Californians were against it. Then along came the previous "president." What was unthinkable a decade ago, became the law of the land in 2015. The aggressive homosexual lobby protested, bought, and bullied their way to legal legitimacy. Along the way, religious free speech was characterized as homophobic and hateful. How about communism in the 1950s? Democrats claimed with full media support that investigations into communists were witch-hunts. Now there are Democrats openly proclaiming they are members of the House Progressive Caucus and many are Democratic Socialists. Everyone who disagrees with them is a bigot, racist, xenophobe, misogynist, homophobe or whatever. There is no limit to their political intolerance.
 
Remember when as First Lady Hillary Clinton tried to push through socialist healthcare? She got hammered. But she and her communist allies kept at it. Now it is the law of the land- in the dark of the night without one Republican vote. These are just the highlights of idiocy becoming reality over the past generation. Don't think that the incoming socialists are kidding around when they promote these things with the help of the news media. Idiocy has no limits, and the idiots are on a roll. What does it matter, some Christians will ask, stating ours is a kingdom in another world. Well, in the end, the Lord judges the nations as well as individuals. We are exhorted in Romans 12:21, "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." We had better start pushing back in prayer and action now, before the coming idiocy becomes reality.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Caring for those even the Church ignores: 
The Disabled in Ghana

By Pastor William Agbeti

[ NOTE: In addition to our ongoing clean water, feeding, and clothing efforts when you support The Daily Jot, you are helping wipe tears off the faces of suffering mothers and fathers seeking rehabilitation of their disabled children]
UN figures put persons living with disabilities in the world at 20% of the global population. 80% of this number can be found in developing countries. In Ghana alone, there are some 3 million persons living with various forms of disabilities. 
Our Ghana ministry serves where others will not.This two-day residential program for children with disabilities provide food, clothing and recreation



Their plight is demoralizing. Many in the Ghanaian society consider them taboos. Scores of local churches have not opened their doors to them. Several families neglect their disabled children, to fend for themselves. Sadly, some communities go to the extreme to put a newly born disabled child into a mortar and use a pestle to pound it to death, with the belief that their souls will not return to the communities again. In the main, the disabled are ostracized from the society. Only a handful of homes, families and communities treat them with a modicum of respect and acceptance. Read the rest of the story by clicking here
