Tea With George

August 24 Not so great society
The Great Society was an ambitious series of policy initiatives, legislation, and programs spearheaded by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Democrats owned the House and the Senate and the White House. And in May 1964, Johnson laid out his agenda for the Great Society, ending poverty, ending crime, abolishing inequality. It turned out to be an abject failure, which transferred money from the earners who themselves needed it to take care of their families, and created a society of fatherless homes. And worse, crime increased. And as far as abolishing inequality, it eventually led to the disastrous DEI policies, which divided Americans into tribes based on skin color and taught them to hate each other. And this poverty continues unabated until Mr. Trump succeeds.

"And the government will be on His shoulders." What does that mean for America's Christians who won't fill God's mandate to occupy the government?

"Over Africa" by Steve Adams

After a day’s layover, we boarded the 747 in Frankfurt for the overnight trip to Johannesburg.  By now, I was a seasoned traveler, so the trip was exciting, but I was also anxious about what to expect in South Africa.  I knew so little about the continent, but I had high expectations of semi-arid savannah and exotic wildlife.

The flight out of Germany was uneventful as I ate the evening meal.  Soon after, I settled in and enjoyed the view of city lights inching past us some 35,000 feet below.  I dozed off and awoke sometime later to resume my night time scenery watching.

Instead of the lights of civilization, there were only moonlit, rolling clouds lit by occasional, distant flashes of lightning. There, suspended in the quiet dark high over Africa, an old song crept into my mind. I found myself smiling in the dark, quietly blessing the rains down in Africa—some of life's best adventures begin simply by looking out the window.

August 20 Queers for Palestine and Their Own Death

A few years ago, there was a television sitcom, Just Shoot Me. Seems like a strange name for a sitcom, but I think we have another name for Just Shoot Me. "Queers for Palestine." That is, the homosexual community is supporting Palestine in Palestine's fight against Israel. Don't American queers know what happens to queers in Palestine? Maybe they haven't been watching the news. In Islamic countries, queers are killed. But that isn't just in Arab countries. Last week in Berlin, a car driven by an Islamist drove through a crowd of homosexuals, killed two, and injured several more. Christians are being pilloried for asking homosexuals to leave their destructive lifestyle and embrace Jesus. 

But in Islam, they simply kill them. Sponsored by the Caylor Financial Planning Group in Lynchburg, Virginia. Call 434-455-7197.

August 19 Social Insecurity at 67

In 1983, Congress passed a law that official retirement age will be 67 and that will begin this November. A lot of people are upset with that because they want to retire sooner than that. As for me, I'm 82 and I still work full time. Why? Because I love my job and my clients, my clients love me, and this is fun. But the thing is, Social Security ran out of money long ago. Congress has been using the funds there as their slush fund. And we've been using our retirement money for every stupid thing we could think of because it was there. But I do feel bad for those who have to wait to age 67 because we didn't have to wait. And even though we're putting off retirement until age 67, the Social Security Trust Fund is still pretty much bankrupt. Sponsored by the Caylor Financial Planning Group in Lynchburg, Virginia.

August 18 Men are not women

In the 1970s and on into the 1980s, the world was astounded and disgusted to learn that East Germany was using men in the women's competitions at the Olympics. Those men were given female hormones so that they would grow breasts and take on features of women, but they were still men. And they were winning gold medals as women. It was decided that all athletes would be checked for their chromosomes. Were they XX or XY? We discovered that the women were actually men. Common sense took over back then. We knew that God didn't design women to compete against men. So why is it that we have to go back again for such a fundamental and easy choice? And why would sane people even give an audience to those who disagree with this fundamental thing?!

August 17 Apathetic Christians killing America

95% of voting-age Muslims in America vote. 25% of voting-age Christians in America vote. What does that say about Christians? What does that say about Muslims? Tragically, a whole lot. Muslims care about bringing about Sharia, which will essentially ban Christianity, and our Judeo-Christian culture altogether. It will ban our Constitution. And it shows that Muslims deeply care about their faith. Christians, on the other hand, are condemned for their lack of interest in their country, in their faith, in evangelism, and basically being Salt and Light. Smug, arrogant, apathetic Christians, and their arrogant, cowardly pastors, not Muslims, not Islamic imams, will be the death of America.

"Surprise Repair" by Steve Adams

A few weeks ago, I received a call from a longtime friend. He knows I am an engineer, and he had an old radio that had stopped working. It wasn't just any radio; it was a meticulously designed, high-end piece of equipment that had been silent for years. In the 1980's and 1990's people around the world paid $1,400 for each unit!

His plan was to order a new amplifier and replace the original board, but I cautioned him about the challenge of matching custom speakers of a vintage design. Within a few hours, I had identified a suitable replacement, and we got together in his shop to install it. The moment we fired up the radio, it produced sound again, the air in the room seemed to change.

On the way home, I reflected some. Helping him restore that radio combined 40 years of engineering experience into a deeply rewarding afternoon. We all have skills that, when used to serve others, pay off in surprising ways. A few days later, your host, George Caylor, excitedly called to tell me how amazing his Bose Acoustic Wave System sounded.
