"Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish.

When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away.

This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous; and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

(Matthew 13:47–50)

Jesus told them another parable:

“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed w**ds among the wheat, and went away.

When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the w**ds also appeared.

The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the w**ds come from?’
'An enemy did this,’ he replied.

The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the w**ds, you may uproot the wheat with them.
Let both grow together until the harvest.
At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the w**ds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’"

Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the w**ds in the field.”

He answered,
“The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.

The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom.

The w**ds are the people of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil.

The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

As the w**ds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.

The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will w**d out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear."

(Matthew 13:24-30,36-43)

Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying:

“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.

He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.

Then he sent some more servants and said,
‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner:
My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business.The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them.

The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’

So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.
He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.

Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

(Matthew 22:1–14)

The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
This is why I speak to them in parables:

'Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.'

In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:

'You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.'

But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear."

(Matthew 13:10-16)

Here are a couple of updates:

·Gary Keesee Jr.'s r**e trial will resume in November.

·Amy Smart was indicted last month; on 1 count of health care fraud, and 12 counts of false health care statements.

______________
Here's a bit of commentary:
Amy Smart has already pleaded guilty to Medicaid fraud – and Riverside Recovery Services LLC is still open.
What's wrong here? Our elected officials don't seem to care.

I'm not sure how much of my time I'm willing to spend covering Amy Smart – The people running Knox County are just as corrupt as she is. However, I will inform you of the trial's outcome.

Riverside Recovery Services was one of the first big things that I posted about, in March of 2024.
Back then – no one else would cover it. Now the paywall media has started to, but they're not telling us anything new about Riverside Recovery Services.

If you have any information about Riverside Recovery Services LLC; past or present; and the media hasn't covered it yet; send me a message. All of my sources are kept confidential.

"You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.

What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.
But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven....

Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!

Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.

For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.

For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather."

–Jesus (Matthew 10:22,26-28,32-33 and 24:12-16,19-23,27-28)
______________________________

In the third year of King Belshazzar’s reign, I, Daniel, had a vision, after the one that had already appeared to me.

In my vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa in the province of Elam; in the vision I was beside the Ulai Canal.

I looked up, and there before me was a ram with two horns, standing beside the canal, and the horns were long. One of the horns was longer than the other but grew up later.

I watched the ram as it charged toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against it, and none could rescue from its power. It did as it pleased and became great.

As I was thinking about this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between its eyes came from the west, crossing the whole earth without touching the ground.

It came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and charged at it in great rage.

I saw it attack the ram furiously, striking the ram and shattering its two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against it; the goat knocked it to the ground and trampled on it, and none could rescue the ram from its power.

The goat became very great, but at the height of its power the large horn was broken off, and in its place four prominent horns grew up toward the four winds of heaven.

Out of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land.

It grew until it reached the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth and trampled on them.

It set itself up to be as great as the commander of the army of the Lord; it took away the daily sacrifice from the Lord, and his sanctuary was thrown down.

Because of rebellion, the Lord’s people and the daily sacrifice were given over to it. It prospered in everything it did, and truth was thrown to the ground.

Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled—the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, the surrender of the sanctuary and the trampling underfoot of the Lord’s people?”

He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.”

While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there before me stood one who looked like a man.

And I heard a man’s voice from the Ulai calling, “Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of the vision.”

As he came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate. “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”

While he was speaking to me, I was in a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me and raised me to my feet.

He said: “I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns the appointed time of the end.

The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia.

The shaggy goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is the first king.

The four horns that replaced the one that was broken off represent four kingdoms that will emerge from his nation but will not have the same power.

In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise.

He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people.

He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.

The vision of the evenings and mornings that has been given you is true, but seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future.”

I, Daniel, was worn out. I lay exhausted for several days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business. I was appalled by the vision; it was beyond understanding...
He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him...
His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice. Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation...
From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.

Daniel 8:1-27, 9:27, 11:31, 12:11

"The Kent State shootings (also known as the Kent State massacre or May 4 massacre) were the killing of four and wounding of nine unarmed college students by the Ohio National Guard on the Kent State University campus.

The shootings took place on May 4, 1970, during a rally opposing the expanding involvement of the Vietnam War into Cambodia by United States military forces, as well as protesting the National Guard presence on campus and the draft.

Twenty-eight National Guard soldiers fired about 67 rounds over 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.

Students Allison Krause, 19, Jeffrey Miller, 20, and Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20, died on the scene, while William Schroeder, 19, was pronounced dead at Robinson Memorial Hospital in nearby Ravenna shortly afterward.

Krause and Miller were among the more than 300 students who gathered to protest the expansion of the Cambodian campaign, which President Richard Nixon had announced in an April 30 television address.

Scheuer and Schroeder were in the crowd of several hundred others who had been observing the proceedings more than 300 feet (91 m) from the firing line; like most observers, they watched the protest during a break between their classes.

Eight of the shooters were charged with depriving the students of their civil rights, but were acquitted in a bench trial. The trial judge stated,
"It is vital that state and National Guard officials not regard this decision as authorizing or approving the use of force against demonstrators, whatever the occasion of the issue involved. Such use of force is, and was, deplorable."

“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

For I have come to turn
‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.

Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me."

–Jesus
(Matthew 10:34–40)

He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.

He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.

Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.

You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.

With your help I can advance against a troop ;
with my God I can scale a wall.

It is God who arms me with strength
and keeps my way secure.

You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.

They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
to the Lord, but he did not answer.

I beat them as fine as windblown dust;
I trampled them like mud in the streets.

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
“The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.

They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.

But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.

And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.

Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah.

The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."

Matthew 23:1-12

"Leon Gary Plauché (November 10, 1945 – October 20, 2014) was an American man known for publicly killing Jeffrey Doucet, a child molester who had kidnapped and r**ed Plauché's son, Joseph Boyce "Jody" Plauché.

Plauché shot Doucet on March 16, 1984 as he was being escorted through Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport by law enforcement to face trial for what he had done to Plauché's son, an event that was captured on camera by a local news crew.

Plauché was given a seven-year suspended sentence with five years' probation and 300 more hours of community service, receiving no prison time.

The case received wide publicity because some people questioned whether or not Plauché should have been charged with murder.

When he was questioned as to why he shot Doucet, Plauché contended that he was in the right for killing Doucet for abusing his son and that any parent in a similar position would have taken the same action stating "if somebody did it to your kid, you'd do it too.'"

I would like to begin by saying that my heart, thoughts, and prayers are with all of Knox County's abuse victims – you're not alone.

It really bothers me when people side with an alleged child ra**st while they doubt the victims.
Sweeping crimes under the rug is common in Knox County, especially when the crime is child abuse.

Here are some facts and observations:

·Sexual abuse is very difficult for the victims to talk about, the system and even their own families might make it seem impossible to get help.

·Children who are abused sometimes are the ones who get punished, because some cops seem eager to side with child abusers. Is it an inherited problem that our local law enforcement has?
They don't seem to mind letting pedophiles run free, but they rush to lock up a child for something stupid.

·Sometimes women can't get out of an abusive relationship; because their own family sides with the abuser.

·Sometimes cops abuse their wives and children, and they get away with it – this is a national problem; look it up.

·Some Knox County mothers let grown men groom their teen daughters. Why doesn't this seem to bother anyone around here?

·Statistically; males and females are abused at the same rate, but for some reason the adults seem to care less when the victim is a boy, so you hear about it even less. Especially if it's "just" bruises on a child's face.

Pretending that a problem doesn't exist can only make it worse, and that's how Knox County became such a cesspool.

“Listen to another parable:
There was a landowner who planted a vineyard.
He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.

When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.
The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.

Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way.

Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other,
‘This is the heir. Let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’
So they took him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes – what will he do to those tenants?”

“He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”

Jesus said to them,
“Have you never read in the Scriptures:
‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’ ?

Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and given to a people who will produce its fruit.

Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”

When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them.

Matthew 21:33–45
