1. METAMORPHOSIS: Transformation of an Opinionated Man January 10, 2020 AS GREGOR SAMSA AWOKE from unsettling dreams one morning, he found himself transformed into a monstrous vermin. --Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis Ever know anyone who has experienced a life-altering metamorphosis? Come to think of it, that’s probably a rhetorical question. Chances are we all have. The experience may not have been as extraordinary as that described by Franz Kafka, but to me, my particular creeping transformation is just as unwelcome as turning into Kafka’s giant bug. Read on… So, things being what they are, I’m in a brooding and reflective mood, y’know? Just between u... (read more) Author: Gene Myers

2. Prophecy 2020 - Will it be a Year of Success or Catastrophe? January 01, 2020 Touching briefly on current events is enough to cause trauma! The year 2019 found over 12 major nations in protests and unrest, fulfilling many prophetic warnings including those of Jesus… “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” (Mt 24:6) “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are co...

3. Political Correctness in Professional Team Nicknames December 23, 2019 Political Correctness in Professional Sports Team Nicknames With the groundswell of political correctness rising from multiple tribes and polarized camps involving gender equality, politics, age discrimination, religion, and other mainstream issues, there is growing pressure to change the nicknames of several professional sports teams. Politics: Republicans vs. Democrats…Red vs. Blue. Several teams must change their colors or nicknames in order to avoid protests from opposite party voters. These include the St. Louis BLUES; Boston RED Sox, Washington REDskins; Detroit REDwings... (read more) Author: Stephen Bye

4. Trump Probe Reveals Controversial Citizen Surveillance Program December 19, 2019 With the articles of impeachment being formally written up this month, and the division of the country ever-widening, new information on a citizen surveillance program was discovered today during a closed door interrogation that may actually link the Trump and Obama Administration. The information about the citizen surveillance program, classified as the Optic Drift Project (ODP), was discovered during the continuing Ukraine probe when investigators further searched the classified computer system that held the Trump/ Zelensky phone conversation transcripts. The search revealed plans to re... (read more) Author: Sam Terrance

5. Christmas and Pontius Pilate - The Universal Question December 19, 2019 A lifetime of Christmas television specials asking or trying to answer the “true meaning of Christmas” question, may have our heads swimming in uncertainty. Is it, home, family, giving, kindness, brotherhood or some secret spiritual meaning that only the deepest thinkers or more indoctrinated can gather? Scouring the pages of scripture for the answers always brings us to the same answers, but one answer stands out above them all. It turns out that it is the same question asked by Pontius Pilate the Roman Procurator. Pilate held Jesus in custody and he alone had to decide his fate, ev... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

6. WORDS, SPINMASTERS & DECEPTION December 19, 2019 Words… Racism is a word that has pretty much lost power due to frequent and deliberate misuse; especially by a political party whose history has been blatantly racist. During my lifetime, I recall vociferous integration opponents emerging from their dugout; viz., George Wallace, Orval Faubus, Robert Byrd, Al Gore, Sr. et.al. I tend to yawn when I hear the word anymore. Nevertheless, I refer to it in this essay to contend that the accusers are guilty of it for the devious purpose of buying votes, avoiding scrutiny, exploitation, and/or projecting their own bias onto so-called enemies....

7. Entering 2020 with the most Perverted Judicial Ruling and most Obsessive Political Party in America November 29, 2019 It would seem that the entire democratic party has long forgotten the adage spoken by former President Rutherford B. Hayes who declared – “He serves his party best who serves the country best.” With only a few exceptions the entire democratic party has become obsessed with only one matter – the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump. No one in America would dare to say that the democrats have done anything to serve the country in the last two years. The party of dead unborn babies and the defense of homosexual and transgender perversions, now has, Congressman Adam Schiff, coming on... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

8. God's Final Dispensation - Seven Reasons Why the World Won't See it Coming November 07, 2019 Denying history is rapidly becoming the trend among the world’s progressives and liberals, the lessons not learned are now more costly than anyone can imagine. In the Church, which is rampant with apostasy, (falling away) are those who name dates for the second coming of Christ. They cause scoffing among non-believes and are working directly against the clear commandment of the Lord. “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” (Mt 25: 13) The most extreme reaction to those naming dates is to totally trash everything to do with the s...

9. Woke Scolding, PC and Socialism - America's Deadly Slide into Globalist Nonsense? October 26, 2019 Militant anti-conservative and anti-Christian reaction now accompanying PC mavens’ behavior is called - “woke-scolding.” It is a way of correcting someone’s speech by declaring that certain words and phrases are now officially off limits and can no longer be used. They may not be able to tell you who the officials are because, in fact, they are simply a mob of progressive malcontents. Examples are phrases like “illegal alien” and pronouns like he and she. Exactly who decided that such words are now off limits is unclear. It is a consensus of the trendy leftists and progressives and it is... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

10. LAST DANCE with the (faux) IRS October 22, 2019 Recently, I wrote an essay entitled, SLIPPING AWAY, which was published by this online magazine. You know how you get those “I should have said” moments? Well, this blurb is one of those; that is, perhaps happenings I should have mentioned in that essay. There’s a Ben Sidran song performed by the NO NAMERS BAND called “Last Dance”, which is a metaphor for life’s conclusion with a pleasing jazz tune. Here’s the first and final verses: It’s your last dance / Your last chance / Find the one you came with / Make some romance / It’s your last dance, baby / Pretty soon we gotta go / We are here...

11. Guns, Mental Illness or Spiritual Deadness - Which is it? August 07, 2019 Our hearts are inundated with sorrow and amazement as we hear the list of victims from both the El Paso and the Ohio shootings grow day by day. Then comes the relentless battering from the media with its long list of people to blame and possible reasons it all happened. Casting these questions out is as random as the gunfire that cut down our citizens. It sways and provokes our thinking and casts aspersions on many people and institutions all the way up to the presidency. It rings of desperation and it breeds confusion. In the approach of the election year, next comes the presidential... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

12. LIGHT ANOTHER CANDLE July 08, 2019 Happy Birthday to me! (Well, that was almost a month ago, and I’ve been procrastinating about writing this essay ever since.) That’s right, June 12 was the big day, and I ponder the miracle. Not the marvel that I’m still alive. I chalk that up to good genes, and a healthy and active lifestyle. I seem to be a pretty robust dude—so far anyway. No, I’m thinking of the miracle that I was even born—had a birthday. Think of it. Parents had to feel amorous at just the right time, and one of 100,000 to 400,000 eggs that contained future me had to be selected. Nine months later I saw a white light...

13. Hollywood to Georgia: If You Won't Kill Them - No Movies for You! June 04, 2019 It seems more and more each day that America is becoming a sub-division of hell. Extreme political ideologies have gripped the democrats and a general moral collapse has moved across our citizenry like a tidal wave. Sexual perversion and deviant behaviors have inundated our national consciousness and the defenders of death to the unborn have become so twisted that they now plan boycotts and economic sanctions against states that want to pull the plug on all abortions. Hollywood which has been labeled a den of thieves with the morality of a pack of jackals has targeted the state of Georgi... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

14. Do We Really want to Eliminate "So Help Me God" from our Oaths? May 30, 2019 Journalist Calvin Freiburger writing for Life Site News says, “Democrats try to cut ‘so help you God’ from committee witness oath, backtrack after outcry.” The oath is “Do you solemnly swear or affirm, under penalty of law, that the testimony that you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God” Reportedly, the democrats were also poised to discontinue the use of gender specific pronouns such as “his” and “her.” House Republican Chair Liz Cheney said “They really have become the party of Karl Marx.” How well we remember, the outcry...

15. IN A WORLD OF UNPLEASANTRIES May 02, 2019 Some of you may recall my essay entitled, “Hate & Discontent: The New American Paradigm”, published by www.amazines.com January 11, 2017. I offer the following as a “booster shot”. Remember the so-called Christian values of, say, the 1950s and before? Those ideals of yesteryear have been, since antiquity, the precept of Christian spirituality—but not necessarily of Christian churches. You know—that love your neighbor stuff? How about the Golden Rule: Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you? I believe that originated with the ancient Hebrews. Then there were the hippies of t...

16. Ahab Blamed the Prophet, Nero Blamed the Christians - America Blames Both! April 05, 2019 A nation that is pushing ever closer to total moral reprobation is not likely to rush to the fountain of theological wisdom or prophetic warning. But since God has been careful to tell us over and over again how much he loves us, (John 3: 16) and those in the world around us, it is appropriate that his messengers are so relentless. We use Biblical examples to help us see our state, some more effective than others, and yet, some are so spot on that people may want to kill the messenger. Don’t hurt the mouthpiece, but don’t fail to hear the clarion call of the trumpet. Our lives and futures... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

17. AMERICAN IMPERIALISM REVISITED March 27, 2019 In part I am repeating the first paragraph (re: Khrushchev) of my last essay because IMO it needs to be reiterated. I first learned about the socialist / communist propaganda machine in my tenth grade world history class. That was a long time ago, but as I observe events unfolding today, it is apparent little has changed except that Nikita Khrushchev’s 1957 prediction for the USA is coming true. He suggested that the USSR would overcome America, but NOT with military effort. His stated strategy was to feed the West small portions of socialism until, one day, we wake up under full blown communi... (read more) Author: Gene Myers

18. The Mirror Rearview; Report # 14 March 17, 2019 Report # 14: An on-going series from Stephen P. Bye, a former Correspondent for the Mirror Rearview, a fictional newspaper in Laicos County, an imaginary USA municipality. Please refer to the previous thirteen reports on the seven-month history of the transformation that has occurred in Laicos County. March 17, 2019: I now write as an independent blogger, as I was terminated last week as a correspondent for the Mirror Rearview by their backward-looking ownership group. The Mirror Rearview readers supposedly indicated that my reflective columns violated the paper’s motto, “The Mirror neve... (read more) Author: Stephen Bye

19. The Mirror Rearview; Report # 13 February 14, 2019 Report # 13; An on-going series from Stephen P. Bye; Correspondent for the Mirror Rearview, a fictional newspaper in Laicos County, an imaginary USA municipality. Please refer to the previous twelve reports on the six-month history of the transformation that has occurred at the three Laicos County public golf courses. (February 14) After several days roaming the streets of Laicos County I gathered candid comments about the recent decisions by the Laicos County Commissioners on the golf course operations and the new adopted tax measures. The following are direct quotes from answers to a fe... (read more) Author: Stephen Bye

20. SOCIALIST PARADISE? February 09, 2019 Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and others have stepped up as crusaders in advocating that our constitutional republic (No, it’s not a democracy!) become a socialist economy. They spin it as “Democratic Socialism”. Now there’s a combination of two bad ideas. Like that’s really worked well over the centuries (snicker). I doubt that there’s a more shining example of governmental failure than socialism and its big brother, communism. However, in light of the so-called progressive (actually regressive) elitists and their fawning cadre, recall Nikita Khrushchev said in 1... (read more) Author: Gene Myers

21. Prophecy 2019 - Denying the Emergence of NWO even while it Develops in our Faces January 07, 2019 When Christ exclaimed that when the blind were leading the blind, both would fall into a ditch - he did not include the clear theological maxim contained in the profound insights given later in the teachings of the Apostle Paul. Paul caught the ball running and said all who walk through this world without Christ are blinded by the god of this world (Satan). This does not mean that they have an excuse for sin and the mess they have made of their world. It is why we know, that for the world, the term “Happy New Year” is the perfect non sequitur for anything that happened the year before. ... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

22. Do Midterm Results Indicate that America is still in Decline? December 01, 2018 Do Midterm Results Indicate that America is still in Decline? Without plunging into an op-ed vortex of impossible questions and unlikely answers the simple answer would be – yes! America has been in decline for decades, but under Barack Obama it was nearly a ride to liberal hell in a handbasket. The reluctance to get onboard the Trump train is now clearer than ever since the 2018 mid-terms. There are a few positives such as winning the majority in the senate and the fact that there is still time to ramrod key legislation through the house up to the 3rd of January 2019. The...

23. HOLIDAZE - 2018 Style November 30, 2018 Deck the halls, breakout the egg nog, and hang up the stockings! Christmas Season is upon us again. Oh, and Happy Holidays to those of a politically correct persuasion. BTW, whatever happened to Season’s Greetings? Hey, do you suppose we could get a nativity scene by you folks if we called it a three-sided homeless shelter? Get back to me on that, will you? Like most, I’m normally filled with joy and goodwill this time of year. Love the music. Love the decorations. Truth to tell, I’m not much of a shopper, and I don’t care a fig about receiving gifts. It’s the overall atmosphere—the Holid... (read more) Author: Gene Myers

24. MIDTERM Election Fallout November 14, 2018 Well, thank goodness the 2018 midterm elections are over. The greatest benefit to me? No more gag-inducing television advertisements for candidates and propositions. (Whew!) Fortunately, I voted early, and was out of the country for the last two weeks of mud—feces?—slinging. Over the last 20 years, political candidates and their so-called appeals to the electorate have gotten progressively worse. Here are examples of what spews forth: 1. What I have done in the past to deserve your vote. This component is, in the main, equal parts hyperbole and fiction, and represents a relatively small ... (read more) Author: Gene Myers
