Fox News Article

Too little too late seems to be the theme. As with the illegal immigration problems or infrastructure falling into disrepair, this is something that should have been addressed years, if not decades, ago. Our government has been so preoccupied with international affairs that they have overlooked and neglected the welfare of it's own citizens. In addition, capitalism seems to be working against us. Instead of "competition" driving innovation, large corporations are banding together, not unlike OPEC, to control market volume, and as a result, pricing. Even the automotive industry seems to have fallen into the same pattern. Rather than boasting better fuel efficiency they have been dressing up, enlarging and "improving safety" on their products in order to maintain sales numbers. Both industries, and their leaders, were fully aware of this bottle neck in the global economy and they still did nothing. This is not the result of a handful of auto makers or oil companies but a collaboration between all of them, worldwide. Some, like Honda, may have been sitting on their technologies as their "ace in the hole" and may soon introduce them, but they would likely use the same approach as Microsoft. A modest improvement to your product, enough to return profits to their former levels, then they will set the bar and ride the wave until profits begin to suffer again. It's honestly a very twisted and self centered form of business, but it works. As long as the "leaders" of this world continue to receive their kickbacks, donations, campaign contributions, bonuses and favors we will remain sheep for the sheering.

Unless they're all turned out into the street....the people have the power to do it. These people spending forty to sixty years in Congress needs to stop. I wonder how to go about instituting term limits on Senators and Representatives? :emot-highfive:

I couldn't believe it when I heard tha China and Cuba are drilling 60 miles off the coast of Florida, and Dems are still standing in the way of us drilling. What's their excuse for letting them drill, if they are so concerned about the environment, their pet excuse???

:noidea: Liberal Insanity. That's the excuse. If you are looking for meaning you won't find it, because they are not rational, logical people, they are morons that happened to get in a position to put a stranglehold on the economy.

The liberals want fuel prices high. As crazy as that sounds, that is the reality of the matter. If anyone doubts that, just look at what Al Gore said in his book about wanting gas prices to be over $4 per gallon. Then for political reasons, they act like they are upset when prices go up, and they blame Republicans for what they have done.

Why would liberals want fuel prices high, and why would they want to force us into changing our lifestyles? They claim for the sake of the environment, but that is not true. We can see the truth when we hear Barak Hussein Obama speak. He feels like it is somehow unfair that Americans have a standard of living better than third world nations, so like liberals do, they are trying to balance things out. To try to lift others up, they have to bring us down. Narrow the playing field if it were. It is the same thing they are trying to do in America, but on a global basis.

The one thing everyone does need to keep in mind however, is that those with a great deal of money are not feeling the effects of these policies. They have enough money to pay $10 per gallon for gasoline and not feel the crunch. It is the working class that gets harmed, so people like Obama or Gore continue to live like they want. It is really disgusting, but the average man on the street doesn't understand what is really going on. They have had their heads filled with class envy. Envy is a sin, and that sin will lead Americans down the road to their own destruction if they are not careful.

By the way, in answer to your question Kat, they are far enough off shore where we don't have any control over what they are doing. While they are doing what is necessary to meet their demand for energy, the wacko environmentalists, which includes every Senator or Congressman that opposes off shore drilling, is making sure Americans do without. Some representation we have.

And they blame the oil companies. They have no shame. I'm surprised we don't get an earful from them.

They no longer have the environment as an excuse, with new technology.

Well, actually, it's Cuba that's letting them drill. BUT, I say if there's going to be drilling anyway, why would anyone be concerned about our own drilling? It's stupid. I hope everyone is continuing to keep the pressure on Congress. :noidea:

They are cross-drilling into territory Cuba does not exercise sovereignty over. In other words, Cuba is allowing China to steal our resources right from underneath us, literally.

Cuba has no authority one way or the other over the oil in our territories. China is SLANT drilling towards the US, something which OUR country (the powers that be) should be stopping immediately. Maybe China will accidently kill a seal or some other sea-life in the process then we KNOW the drilling will stop. :rolleyes:

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
