I’m so old there were only 48 states when I was born
But I’m too young to remember anything but the 50-star flag
I don’t remember the 48 and 49-star flags. I was 2 when Alaska and Hawaii joined the union.
My first memories are from 1960 – when I was 3.
I’d hate to be a young man in America today.
I feel sorry for my grandkids (ranging from 3 to 16) who will never know an America at its peak.
I’m in a rather somber mood for my 65th birthday today.
50 years ago, was the start of what seemed like the longest year waiting for my 16th birthday and my unrestricted driver’s license.
There is no pain free path forward – for the United States and the world.
I’ve detailed how Federal/State/Local government spending is more than all W-2 income. I’ve shown that just putting aside enough to keep the unfunded liabilities from getting worse, when added to government spending, would take more than all income.
The democrats have fiscally and morally destroyed our country. I’ll be posting a series on the adult version of the ten commandments – it’s not pretty for Christians.
The republicans are not our friends, but they’re our only option to make the most of our future.
They’ll probably do well in the 2022/2024 elections, but that will be from people voting their pocketbook rather than standing for what’s right.
It was 15 years ago (2007) when I first learned about the unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare.
Then in 2008 I learned about the report from the EMP Commission and just how bad a grid down situation would be. That year I found the Crash Course from Peak Prosperity and learned about EROI – Energy Return on Investment.
I attended the 2012 Prophecy Summit in Branson. There were two tough lessons from that. One being the realization that Satan isn’t constrained by human limitations (and we tend to forget what happens across generations). The other lesson was finding out that I was a deceived Christian.
It was 2012 when I started watching the Suspicious0bservers YouTube channel to keep an eye on space weather – since a CME can cause a grid down situation.
2012 was when I started sharing what I’ve learned on the radio.
I’d like to be more optimistic, but Christians have been sitting on their butts since long before I was born.
Since I started on my MS in Finance in 2009, I’ve spent over 40,000 hours in formal and informal education.
I can pretty much guarantee that you won’t like what I’ve learned – I know I don’t like it.
It would take several books to relate what I’ve learned – so many lessons will expire with me.
I hope this blog will serve as a legacy for my grandkids – and others that find it.
There are no political solutions for spiritual problems.
