From My Heart
Karen and I want to thank our wonderful Church family for all the kindness you showed to us during the Christmas Season. We simply do not have words to express our gratitude for your generosity to us. Each year at Christmas, my dad will ask me, “Well, did the Church spoil you rotten again this Christmas?” And I will say, “Yes, they sure did!” And he will just laugh and say, “That’s just wonderful!” So, thank you very much for blessing our hearts.
I have not been able to get a “From My Heart” written in the last two weeks, and so much has happened recently! I suppose the big news is the raid conducted in Caracas, Venezuela, where the Dictator Maduro and his wife were captured and brought to America to answer for the drug trafficking charges, which has been responsible for multiplied 1000’s of deaths of American citizens. The entire operation went down without losing a plane, helicopter, or soldiers. By all accounts, it was a successful operation.
The trouble started once the media and the Democrats found out it had happened. It seems to me that President Trump could find a cure for every type of cancer a human being could possibly contract, and offer the treatment for free, and even come to people’s homes to administer the cure… and the media and Chris Van Hollen (and every other Democrat in Congress) would oppose it! All day last Monday, after the flawless operation, every Democrat who could find a microphone was supporting the murderous Maduro and condemning President Trump! How in the world could anyone condemn the arrest of this terrible dictator, who has the blood of 100’s of thousands of America’s young people on his hands?
Another huge story has been the 9 billion-dollar (and counting) fraud case that has been uncovered in Minnesota. Governor Tim Walz has found himself in a terrible bind, and it looks like the FBI has a solid case against him, Keith Ellison (Minnesota Attorney General), and Miss Somalia herself, Ilhan Omar (Minnesota Congresswoman). And now, it appears that the same scheme is happening in several Democratic states like Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
I remember a few years ago, thinking when I saw Mr. Ellison was leaving Congress and decided to run for the A.G. position in Minnesota, “Why step down from Congress to be a state Attorney General?” But I suppose when 9 BILLION dollars of fraudulent spending goes through your hands, it was a job upgrade in his eyes! Anyway, it is really going to be interesting to see how all these things develop, and who is going to have to pay the price for stealing billions of taxpayers’ dollars.
Have a wonderful day, and may the Lord bless our great country!
