Fear and the pursuit of safety do not produce peace, and only rob us of what we are looking for.
The reason that our government could shut down an entire nation because of a virus is because people were willing to be ruled by fear, and gave up many freedoms and liberties for what they thought would be safety.
Thank you to  AcademyofIdeas.com  and their “After School” video on Rumble for many of the points made in this podcast. 
This desire and craving for ""safety" leads to tyranny, and a people who are eventually ruled by tyranny. 

This quest for safety, an illusive, hard to define, hard to determine characteristic from person to person, and leads to an aversion to risk taking, and the stunting of growth of a person, family, community & nation.

Self determination and risk taking have been sacrificed in the name of safety, which leads to weakness, fear, and wanting to be taken care of as a normal state of mind. 

Individual and social flourishing can only happen if people are willing to take risks, step out of comfort zones, and be willing to be uncomfortable to accomplish tasks and goals that require risk taking. The quest for safety never produces safety.

Many societies in the past did not think of safety as a primary virtue, but understood that risk taking and building families and nations, which take  courage, fortitude, and persistence, was a far more virtuous way to live than in the confines and false security of safety. 

When a large group of people cowering in fear, retreating for safety, and hiding in the face of danger, attempt to find this safety they will soon be overrun by a dictator and be ruled by those who will happily practice tyranny over them. 

The “safe” road is fertile soil for totalitarian regimes. 

When a society promotes safety to the highest priority, then freedom is diminished or even lost, and this safety due to fear ushers in tyranny. These tyrants,  promising safety and security, only strip the people of freedom and flourishing, and give them bondage and oppression. 

The motive of those who have displayed courage is care and concern for others, and care for our future society. 

A coward demands for his or her own safety, puts safety as the top priority, and forces others to conform to their own neurotic ways. We’ve come to label these people Karen’s, those withered and timid souls who insist on safety, but are willing to sacrifice all freedom and liberty, and to insist everyone around them also sacrifice their freedoms and liberties, 

But the outcome of all this safety seeking will never achieve the safety that they are so madly wanting. 

As Friedrich Nietzsche said, “The secret to harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoying is to live dangerously. “

In John 16:33 Jesus is speaking, and he says:

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

We just had the primary election here in WA, and voter turnout, as usual, was low, at about 40%. Primary elections for the mid-term elections typically have low voter turnout, and there are a number of possible reasons for this. 

Mid-term elections have a higher voter turnout in our state, on average about 63% since 2000.

Presidential election years have about an 80% registered voter turnout here in WA since the year 2000. And about 60% of the eligible voting age population votes. 

Should primary voters vote? Why should voters vote in the primary? There are 2 sides to this issue regarding the primary here in WA. 

First of all, we should explain what a primary election is and why the one in WA is so messed up. 

We have what some have called a jungle primary here in WA. 

In all other states except 3 or 4, to vote in the primary a voter must choose to vote on a Republican ballot or a Democrat ballot, and only one parties’ candidates appear on that ballot. 

In 2004, Washington became the first state to adopt a top-two primary system for congressional and state-level elections. 

California followed suit in 2010. 

In Nebraska, a top-two primary system is utilized for state legislative elections, but this really is a non issue because Nebraska's state legislature is nonpartisan. 

In 2020, Alaska voters approved a ballot initiative establishing a top-four primary.

So of course, WA led the way in this unusual and dysfunctional method of holding it’s primary elections. 

Some believe, in theory but not in reality, this approach would focus on the individual in the race, instead of political parties. In reality, it’s often that the top two candidates are of the same political party, disenfranchising voters who do not see their party's candidate make it to the general election ballot. 

For example, there was a hot primary race this month in the 3rd congressional district here in WA State , where a patriot and Pres. Trump endorsed candidate Joe Kent was going up against Jaime Herrera Beutler, who has been in the the Republican incumbent for 6 terms, since 2011.

Joe Kent, one of her primary Republican challengers, pulled it out with only 1096 votes over Jamie Herrera Butler. The candidate field was diluted with a whole bunch of Republicans, which is another problem in Washington state because so many times the Republicans shoot themselves in the foot because they have way too many Republicans in a single race, diluting the vote.
What if those 1,096 voters who support Joe Kent decided that their vote doesn’t really matter, and didn’t vote?

Voter fraud, why is necessary to vote in a primary election, and why every vote matters is further discussed in this podcast.

College loan debt now totals $1.75 TRILLION dollars for a college education where only 46% of those who graduate work in their field of study. 

And if these young 18 to 22 year olds keep taking out student loans at the current rate, the student loan blight in the United States will be $6.4 TRILLION in 10 years, in 2032.

We have got to stop this enslaving of the next generation of young adults into the trap of debt, and the lie that getting a costly college degree with no plan before they enter college or what they will do with their degree once they happen to finish college, will result in a very dangerous and enslaving lifestyle for most of their adult lives. 

College debt is a blight on our nation, and a curse that keeps on giving to the next generation of college kids that enter colleges and 4 year universities every year, with no plan on how they are going to repay that debt. 

Prov.22:7  “The borrower is slave to the lender.” 

“When you get in debt you become a slave.”

—Andrew Jackson, the 7th president of the USA

Is college worth it? 

This is a question that needs to be asked. I would argue that teenagers and young adults do not fully understand the weight and the seriousness of taking on tens of thousands of dollars in debt at such a young age, and the burden and work it’s going to take to pay it back. 

We have got to stop assuming high school graduates will go to college without a strong sense of direction and a defined purpose before they get there. 

To just wander into college without a plan, which costs about $25,000 per year with tuition, is a very costly way to grow up.

Statistics show that:
So 56% of those entering college will not finish in 4 years. 

AND, Only 44% percent of those who get bachelor's degrees complete their degree in 4 years or less.

ANd, only 60% of men and women who start college finish to get that degree, and of the 60% of those who finish, 40% of them say their degree wasn’t worth it because of the debt, or because they are not working in the field that their degree was in, or they didn’t learn enough real world skills to use once they got out of college.

We need good teachers in the public school system, some argue. But will adding good teachers to a rotten curriculum, teaching leftism and Socialism, fix the public schools? Or is it something deeper than the quality of the teachers?
Public schools, which should be called government schools, teach to the goals & outcomes wanted by the government, not what is best for the kids.

The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution says: The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Translation: The right to keep and bear guns & ammo, armament, knives, clubs, hammers, and other weapons shall not be encroached upon by law or encroached upon the rights of another to keep and bear arms.
The Bill of Rights of the Constitution MAINTAINS this right, it does not GIVE us this right. Creator God who made us gives us this right, and our Constitution is to make sure that it stays in place for our country's citizens.

Here I outline the 2 issues going on in our country: One is the problem of mass shootings, which is not a gun problem, but a heart problem.  Broken families, unstable moms, kids emotionally detached, fatherlessness, psychotropic drugs handed out like candy, and thousands of hours of porn & violent video games are the problem.

And two, the 2nd amendment is to keep those in government in check who would want to abuse their power, not to ensure hunters can hunt. The founders of our nation did not add the 2nd amendment to the Bill of Rights to protect hunting. They just gained their freedom from Great Britain because of the gun.
And the NRA is not to blame. With  approx. 82 million registered gun owners in the USA, less than 7% of them belong to the NRA.
And, I tell a pawn shop story of a battered woman who wanted to buy a gun for protection.

The Second Amendment to the Constitution, the right to keep and bear arms, has been hotly debated in our nation for decades, as we erode as a culture, and as our society gets more and more progressive and more and more infiltrated by  leftists, who hate freedom and all that it entails, including the law abiding citizen to own guns. 
As we drift further from the brilliant Constitution and the genius Biblical foundation on which it came from and rests upon, the topic of gun ownership in the United States has risen to the forefront. 
Those who wrote the 2nd Amendment just not return from a successful hunting trip, but had just defeated the most powerful group of people at that time in the world: Great Britain. 
They defeated Great Britain because of a love of freedom, and they obtained this freedom because they were armed. 

The legally armed citizens in the United States are the largest army in the world, and the rest of the nations of the world know this. Thus, we will never be attacked by a foreign enemy while we remain heavily armed, and the citizens of this nation understand that the United States is the most powerful and greatest nation on earth.  

This and other facts are discussed in detail here in this podcast.
Please let me know what you think.

This is Part I of a two part series on the 2nd amendment, and gun ownership in our nation.

The public school education system in our nation is failing.
Here's a few more reasons why, to save our communities, our own kids, and our nation, parents should highly consider another option when it comes to educating the next generation.
The founding of our nation's public school system was never about teaching kids, but separating them from their parents and teaching them a godless view of the world, and teaching them about how to be good wards of the state.
I am a product of the public school education system, and I have spent most of my adult life discovering the lies I was taught, and unraveling those lies with the truth. The truth about ourselves, our nation, and the world will not be found in the halls of public schools.

There’s a rumor floating around, since America’s citizens have billions in student loan debt,  that the Biden administration, and Biden personally during his presidential campaign,  will forgive student loan debt. Could this magical loan forgiveness be true? Will daddy government show up and solve America's student loan debt problem by forgiving all student loan debt? 

This and other financial myths are discussed here in my latest podcast. 

A recommendation for smart money management and investing, and steps to pay off student loan debt:

My husband and I recently spent 5 days in Phoenix visiting our daughter and son in law, who live in a residential neighborhood in Phoenix. 

Phoenix is a sprawling and vast city, and Phoenix and the surrounding suburbs and neighborhoods span over 520 square miles. The Phoenix metropolis area is one of the largest cities in the United States, 
and the Phoenix metropolis has come up with a genius system & recycling method for the trash and unwanted items produced by the over 5 million people who live there. 
I tell of my first hand experience watching how this system operates over a one week period.
It's genius!

Why does Bill Gates and other billionaires who have always lived in the city in the heart of urban environments want to destroy the beef industry?

They dine in find urban restaurants, order beef on the menu in expensive and exquisite restaurants, and sip wine in luxury, so why are they so bent on the rest of us not eating beef? 

Who doesn't love a good hamburger once in a while or a really good steak on the grill? Why do they want to destroy the beef industry and try and get all of us to not eat beef? As the popular ad says: "Beef! It’s what’s for dinner” 

Cattle have wandered on the North American continent since the 1400's. Here I trace their footsteps, and describe the foundational, sustainable, vital industry we have here in America because of cattle.
