A Touching Story

I had to share this touching story with you.

He awoke and felt a presence in the room. Then his son called out to him for help. Suddenly awake, he realized his son was not with him. A strange feeling went over him, a feeling like someone had been there moments before, but was now gone. The feeling was so real it made chills go down his spine.

The next morning, he felt a nagging fear and foreboding as he went about his morning routine. He was to go fishing or hunting this morning, but felt something was wrong and someone needed him. He couldn’t get the dream out of his mind, if it was a dream.

He called his son’s cell phone and left a message to call after he got out of school, so he could give him an update on his trip. Later in the morning, he decided to call the boy’s mother and remind her that she was to take their boy to Karate in the afternoon. Someone else answered, and they had a strange tone in their voice when they knew it was him. The phone was quickly handed to his ex-wife.

“Hello, where are you?”

“I’m near Redding in a place called Weaverville.”

“Oh. When will you be back?”

“Tomorrow sometime. I wanted to remind you to take Robert to Karate at 5.”

“Oh.”

“You sound distressed. Is something wrong?”

“Well, I didn’t want to tell you until you came back, but Robert was in an accident.”

“Is he alright?”

“No.”

“Is he in the hospital or something? What’s wrong? How did it happen?”

“He was in the hospital, he got hit by a car when he was playing with his friends.”

“Is he alright now, is he at home or what? Tell me what’s going on.”

“I can’t tell you on the phone.”

“Please let me know what’s going on. Why are those other people at your house?”

“Robert didn’t make it, he died around 5 this morning.”

A knot of grief gripped him like he had never known before. He felt like his guts were ripped out at that very moment. So that was the presence he felt, and it was about 5 in the morning. His son had come to say goodbye, and was asking for help.

He couldn’t go on with the call and closed the cell phone. He buried his head in his hands and wept, harder than he ever cried before. His guts were heaving. He felt like he would vomit any minute. Thank god he was still in the campground and not driving.

Then he reached for his cell phone because he thought it was ringing. It was not. He opened it and listened. He could hear him, he was calling.

“Paps? You won’t believe this really cool place that God sent me. He said you could come here someday. Remember the book I read about the 5 people you’ll meet in heaven? I got to meet the first one today and it was awesome. Paps? Are you there?”

“Yes, I’m here. Are you alright? Do you hurt at all? How did the accident happen?”

“I’m alright and can’t wait for you to get here, but don’t want you here before God says it’s the right time for you. He said it was the right time for me. Now I’m going to learn all kinds of new things I can teach you when you get here. Bye, Paps, I Love you.”

“I Love you too big boy.”

Garner case

If Mayor DeBlasio had not ordered his police officers to use whatever force necessary to collect the cigaret tax, there would not have been a confrontation. If Garner had obeyed the officers trying to enforce the law, this would not have happened. Why are we condemning polic officers for enforcing the law? #garner #protests #blackcrime #lawandorder

Protests

All white police officers should stop policing in black neighborhoods and let them kill each other. What happened to the rule of law? If you break the law, you suffer the consequences. Stop trying to penalizing those who are risking their lives to make our communities safer. #ferguson #streetprotesrs #anarchy #browncase #justice #lawlessness

What happened to advertising

What percentage of the population is black? Right, 13%! Why do we see blacks on 100% of TV commercials? Give me your comments.

Policeman in the Brown case

We now know that the Policeman in the Brown case suffered a fractured eye socket in his confrontation with Brown.  This happened while in his car, as Brown held the door and struggled for the officer's gun, which subsequently went off in the vehicle.  The eye socket fracture was a result of a direct punch in the face from Brown, after the officer asked Brown to get out of the street and stop blocking traffic.  After this felonious assault, the officer had every right to protect himself.  After this attack, Brown and his companion started walking away from the Police car.  This was when the officer heard the call on the radio about the robbery and connected the dots.  The called to Brown to halt and instead he was rushed by Brown, who apparently decided to continue the assault on the officer.

You be the judge, did the officer act in self defense?

History Repeats Itself

40 years ago A President was removed for true lawlessness, not political grievances Nixon conspired with key aides to cover up attempted burglary of a Democratic office in the Watergate office complex Nixon lied and conspired when he -     •    Orchestrated a cover up after five men were caught burglarizing the DNC headquarters     •    Financed the burglary and planned it with re-election officials and the attorney general     •    Approved paying hush money to the burglars Nixon had a pattern of criminal behavior.  He had ordered the breaking of the Brookings Institute.  He ordered aides to have the IRS audit political enemies.  He ordered an operation that resulted in aides breaking into the office of Daniel Ellsberg. Do you see a similarity to what is happening today with the President and the Attorney General, using political power to further their agenda and suppress the opposition?  What's different today?  The actions are the same, but the consequences are not.  Then, the Washington Post exposed the wrongdoing.  Congress conducted a bipartisan investigation, not a political witch hunt.  There seems to be no chance of that today because of the way obama has politicized and polarized government.  There is no chance for transparency.  No chance for a bipartisan investigation. All fingers point to the White House in the IRS scandal and all the others and the public can't get the truth about anything. The Lawlessness continues.  We don't need impeachment, we need an indictment.

Facts of the Brown case

What really happened between Michael Brown and the Policeman in Ferguson, MO.  The facts show that Brown forced himself against the door of the Police car and would not let the officer open the door.  He reached inside and grabbed for the officer's gun, eventually getting hold of it and causing the gun to fire within the squad car.  During this altercation, the officer was physically assaulted and hit in the face by Brown and has the wounds to show it.  He then turned and walked away, taunting the Police officer with "what are you going to do about it?  Shoot me?"  By this time, the officer had received a radio report about the nearby robbery and a description of the suspects.  Realizing that Brown was the suspect, he told him to stop and put his hands in the air.  Instead, Brown charged at the Police officer.  The officer told him to stop, but he kept coming in what was described by witnesses as a "bum's rush".  The officer fired in self-defense, purposely aiming to wound and stop Brown.  In the last ten feet, the officer aimed for Brown's head, finally stopping him.  At no time did Brown put his hands in the air and he was not shot in the back.  The autopsy shows that all shots were from the front.  The autopsy also revealed that Brown was high on Marijuana at the time of the confrontation.

Outrage over the Truth

After the video showing Michael Brown robbing a store in a strong arm robbery, we are told by Al Sharpton that everyone is outraged!  Who is outraged because they were shown the truth?  Sharpton might tell you to be outraged, but you should be thankful that you now know what this thug was doing that led to his confrontation with the Police.  This was not some young innocent school boy walking home.  This was a thug who had just robbed a store, who was defiantly walking down the middle of the street disrupting traffic, who taunted the Policeman who asked him to walk on the sidewalk.  Do you think the store owner is outraged that we are finally shown the truth?  I don't think so.

Ferguson demonstrators

It was reported on the news that a large number of the demonstrators in Ferguson, MO, do not live there, but have been brought in my outside agitators to inflame the situation.  We saw disrespect for the American Flag.  We heard chants calling for the death of the Police Officer.  This just shows the world the true motivation of these people.  They do not want justice, they want to advance their radical agenda and create civil disorder.  This is not good for the country.

Tragic Shooting in Missouri

It saddens me to see another confrontation between a policeman and a black teenager.  It saddens me even more when I realize that this whole incident could have been avoided if the teenager had listened to the officer and done what was requested.  Instead, he escalated the situation by lunging at the officer and grabbing his firearm.  Who wouldn't react in self defense as the officer did?  The officer was trained to protect himself while he puts his life on the line to protect the public.

Even more tragic is the sickening reaction of the public, automatically condemning the officer without knowing the facts.  Using the incident to riot, burn stores, loot and steal and show the world that we still have uncivilized individuals in an otherwise civilized society.  This rioting and looting is worse than the incident itself.  And it is even more tragic to think that the whole thing could have been prevented if the teenager had not done what he did.

On the same day in Chicago, 26 people were shot, including one teenager.  This was not reported on national news.  No, this black on black crime is ignored, while an incident that was started and escalated by a black teenager against a white officer doing his job is blown way out of proportion.  Again, giving the uncivilized among us the excuse to rob and steal from their neighbors.

Housing our Wounded Warriors HOWW

Saw a new campaign on Fundly.com to raise money for our vets.  This looks like a worthwhile program.  With all the mess going on with the VA, glad to see someone in the private sector step up and do something for these deserving citizens!  Visit Fundly and search for HOWW and make a donation.  I'm sure every little bit helps.

Benghazi? What Difference Does it Make?

Well, Hillary, to start with, four Americans were killed.  We now know that the false narrative that you and the administration pushed for weeks after the attack was blatantly FALSE!  We now know that YOU KNEW, 30 minutes after the attack, that it was a terrorist attack, yet you pushed a false narrative for political gain.  This disqualifies you for any further role in government as far as the American people are concerned.  We need leaders who are honest and have integrity.  You obviously fail in both categories.  You are dishonest and have NO integrity.  Please don't offend us by running for higher office.

[oldwhitemale-blog]

What has misguided power done to our government?

Despite promises of being the most transparent administration in history, we have seen the exact opposite.  The leadership has consistently withheld information from the public, issued blatantly false press releases for political purposes, flat out lied to the American people about important issues, and I could continue but I won't.  So what is the result of this misguided abusive use of power of government?  It has resulted in jumping from one crises to another, and promoted a blame orientation within it's own organization.  It has resulted in the use of abusive language, and lack of civility in dealing with those who oppose their views.  The constant changes in direction and lack of consistent action has caused confusion.  The micromanagement and authoritative style has created an absence of peace within, stifled creativity and increased anxiety.  It has resulted in little or no collaboration to solve problems.  Knowledge is withheld and communication is within silos; there is a lack of trust within the administration.  Excessive rumors, back-biting and spinning of stories has shown us that the truth and facts are unimportant to this regime.  The power struggles result in tunnel vision and lower efficiency, stifle innovation, create greater conflict and a disengagement of the populace.

CLEARLY, THIS COUNTRY DESERVES BETTER!

Results of Abusive Power

Misguided power destroys, it creates mutual distrust and leads to disengagement and fear.  Distrust is destructive, causing negative consequences.  When integrity is in doubt, everyone is highly suspicious of motives and any kind of mutual relationship is impossible.  This is the atmosphere in our government today, created by misguided leadership. Our country is desperate for positive leadership to bring the country back together so we can move forward for the next century.  Follow my thoughts for a few days and give me your feedback.  We need to change what is going on in Washington before we lose our freedom and way of live.

Keystone Pipeline

So how long do we have to wait before we can start creating jobs, and gaining energy independence with this project?  It seems that all environmental issues were cleared some time ago, but the person in the WH finds it necessary to appease a major democratic party donor, make that a $100 million dollar donor, and hurt the country again.

Rancher's Freedom in Jeopardy

What has happened to this country when a ranching family that has been on their land since 1877, is confronted by armed federal agents using Gestapo tactics who steal their cattle and attempt to run them off their land? Who is behind this, besides the corrupt administration in Washington? Harry Reid and the Sierra Club, on behalf of a desert tortoise that has coexisted with the cattle for over 100 years. They have rounded up so many of these so-called endangered species, that they are killing them in the very "sanctuary" they set up in Las Vegas. Every citizen of this country should be alarmed at this abuse of power.

Health Insurance Cancellations?

One of the liberal talking points that we hear in defense of the disaster known as obamacare is that insurance companies cancel polices all the time and the cancellations we are seeing now are a normal part of the insurance business.  Has anyone ever taken the time to verify this falsehood?  Every time an insurance company takes on a new insured or cancels a policy there is a cost involved.  It is hard to believe that a company in business to make money and protect their shareholders would be frivolously cancelling policies after all the time and expense it takes to acquire customers in the first place.  Someone in the insurance industry needs to dig deeper into this myth and expose it for what it is.  Another obama lie!
