Finally Justice

As I write this I'm reminded that as I approach age 70, I'm much closer to the end of my life here, than to the beginning.

Most people dread the certainty of dying. Not me. I'm looking forward to the next life which I have every reason to believe and expect, will be far superior to this one - not even close!

Besides waiting anxiously to see and be re-united with my parents and the many family and friends who have already gone on before, I'm anxious to get the answers about this life that were either deliberately withheld or obscured, or were beyond my ability to comprehend and understand. Most of all I look forward to living eternally under a righteous King who is all just, all powerful, all knowing - no more compromised justice, no more compromised rights and wrongs, no more abuses by the rich and powerful, no more racism, no more war and dying, no more tyranny of the majority, and finally, those who escaped being brought to justice in this life, will get the justice that should have been meted out to them, but wasn't.

The worse part about this life, was and is, the inequity and inequality that is accepted as the norm and considered as fair and just. It's particularly bad in this country because there is so much available - enough for everyone to have a satisfactory life with plenty to eat and all needs taken care of. But the greedy powerful and rich 2% have stolen the lion's share for themselves, and left the crumbs for the remaining 98% of us who are here.

Jesus said it will be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of Heaven - so there will be few, if any of them, in Heaven - Oh Happy Day!

Trump and Birthers

When a blowhard, egotist and probably white supremacist, red-necked racist, like Donald Trump, starts questioning the birth, citizenship, and fitness of our President, I immediately spring into action investigating why doth this "lady protesteth so much."

And lo and behold, I found this little gem which I have not thoroughly researched yet, but may hold some answers to my question   http://trumpbirthers.blogspot.com/

....I don't know how true it is that Trump was born in So. Africa, but if true, then Trump's questioning of President Obama's birth certificate and asserting his unfitness to be president, is disingenuous in the least, and bold-face, white supremacist hubris at best....

This arrogant ass has also filed for bankruptcy 3 or 4 times already, and apparently can't profitably run 'can't-miss' cash-cows like casinos successfully, thinks he has what it takes to be a successful president. And on top of these business failures, he has a string of about 5 failed marriages in his wake! He also claims to be a billionaire - what billionaire have you ever heard of, who is employed by someone else? - in this case, the NBC network is his employer.

Oh well, another one joins the sordid sludge inhabited by the likes of Sarah Palin, John McCain and others of their pitiful and ignorant ilk.
