The World Is So Out Of Touch

Kathy and I don’t watch television very much.
Our son Jess is with us, and he does.
He clicked on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and our eyes were opened.

As a guy who used to be on television, I was a bit embarrassed.
I think in many ways, I looked as phony as they looked on the broadcast.
Phony and so out of touch with where Americans are today.

I remember when the parade was simply that, a parade.
Now it’s a production of Broadway shows and promotion for the new lineup of NBC, the network televising the parade.
From a log house in Montana, we watched, and I couldn’t help but wonder who relates to this stuff?
The fancy fingernails, fake eyelashes, men with sixpacks selling ED medication, and trainers just waiting to give you the information needed to look like the guy in the picture with the perfect life.

I think about ranchers, farmers, and a young woman working at the bar in Lyons, Oregon. Is this what they care about?
It’s a plastic representation of the world that only exists in the hearts and minds of marketers.

The blown-out-of-proportion success stories that seem too good to be true fall flat on an audience that has real problems just putting food on the table and paying the rent.

A major cultural shift is underway in America.
People are looking for the truth.
They don’t want pretty stories to make them feel good; they want reality.

The plastic make-believe world is everywhere.
But so is the rejection of it.
It’s not something to be angry about.
Awareness is the beginning of change.

With Christmas just around the corner, the temptation to “buy” happiness is over the top.
Perhaps, instead of buying a gift, give that special person in your life an experience - something they will never forget.
Buy memories, not more stuff.
The world is so out of touch with where you and I are right now.
But we don’t have to be.

People Amaze Me & So Does God

We spend a lot of time debunking the bu****it that seems to consume our world, and I, for one, think that is a good thing.
Kathy, Jess, and I are in Red Lodge, Montana, celebrating Thanksgiving.
We rented a cool little cabin, right on the edge of town.
Last night we went to the Snow Cap, the town hangout.
It was BINGO night.
The place was full.

We like to sit at the bar when we go out of town.
There is something about that bar stool that connects you to the locals.
We sat next to a couple from Billings, Montana’s largest city, about 40 miles from Red Lodge.
We discovered they come here often.
They told us, they sit in the same place because they always seem to meet the most interesting and sometimes strange people.
I’m pretty sure we fit both classifications.
In the conversation, they told us they had driven up into the mountains that afternoon, where her now fiancé had asked her to marry him.

We walked down the snowy street to a restaurant where our waitress chatted it up with us, told us about the town gossip, and swooned over our pictures of our grandson Niko.

This morning, as my mind rewinds to last night, I can’t help but smile.
The world is full of people like that.
You don’t have to look for them, but must put yourself in the right stool and be open to starting a conversation.

Yes, there are a lot of angry, nasty people in this world who like to spread their misery on the rest of us.
For too long, out of the niceness of our hearts, we gave them too much credibility.
But not anymore.

The last five or six years have been a real test for you and me.
We had to see the worst so we could fight for the better, and we are finally seeing wins.

We must NEVER stop pushing for change.
But we also have to stop allowing the buzzkillers to rob us of our peace and our joy.
I’m thankful for each one of you, freedom lovers.
God fearing people who, like me, are starting to understand the power of the truth.
Enjoy your day, your family and friends, and thank your God for His amazing grace.

Perhaps We Create Our Limitations!

The world is a complex and divisive place.
You can no longer refuse to pay attention, or you risk being washed out to sea.
The power struggle appears to be between the left and the right.
Don’t be fooled, it’s much deeper and darker than that.

This morning, I read this line that won’t stop circulating inside my head.
“He will do just as much for us as we let Him do in us.”
Think about that?

We are His creation.
He knows the plans He has for us.
He’s in the process of working those plans out for us.
The only limitation is based on us.

We are born with a heart, and that heart has a hole designed in it that is meant to be filled by God.
Life steps on us, people do bad things to us, and we start to fill that hole with something other than Him.
We find ways to numb our pain, pleasures that provide temporary solace, but that hole has a purpose, and all the garbage we allow to fill it, at some point, must be cleared so God can inhabit our lives.

God is the ultimate heart surgeon.
He understands what’s clogging our arteries and, over a lifetime, points them out, guides us to healing, and makes us into the men and women we are designed to be.
Each of us is uniquely qualified for so much more than we settle for.

Back to that hole in our heart.
The more debris we allow Him to take out of our hearts, the more He can do in us, with us, and for us.
It’s a partnership.
God cannot partner with sin.
Sin is what is usually substituted as our heart filler.
It has to come out, or He won’t come in.
The greatest men and women who ever lived were those willing to give God every corner of their heart so that He could fill it with Himself.

We are seeing a bright light shine on the earth, and that is because light always shines in the darkest places.
The world we live in is a dark and challenging place.
But remember, God knew this day would come.
We were each created to live in this moment.

If you look in the news, those under attack are the most willing to give it all.
The masses will try to preserve what was and fail.
Do not follow their folly.
It’s tempting and promises unity and prosperity, but it’s a lie.
Our search is for the truth, a truth that sets us free and cleans out our hearts so the Father can abide with us.
How much are we willing to give?

Tonight at 4 pm PT, we will be joined by the chief petitioners of an initiative to put the gas tax in Oregon on the ballot. They hope to have a count of the number of signatures they have.
Tune in for a live update on any of our social media channels.

25/11/2025

People all over Oregon are signing a petition to get the Democrats' gas tax put before the voters. We'll check in live with a booth in Eugene. We'll also talk with the chief petitioner to get an update. And we check in with another lawmaker about the governor's recent executive order and what that means to you.

Nuremberg Style Trial For COVID?

I think we need a Nuremberg-style trial to unveil all the lies told by those who propagated the COVID-19 virus.
I got this idea while watching the new film “Nuremberg.”
The movie is one of the best films I’ve seen in a long time.
The acting is amazing, the story, well told, and the timeliness is undeniable.

As we sat in the Myrna Loy Arts Theater in Helena, Montana, you could hear a pin drop as the intensity of the story unfolded.
One man, a justice, thinks rather than simply hang the top members of the N**I party following Hi**er’s su***de, there should be a worldwide trial to expose the atrocities, led by these men.
That justice was on the fast track to be seated on the Supreme Court of the United States.
His insistence on creating this trial destroyed that life dream.
A trial for crimes against humanity had never been done before.

When we left the theater, I said to Kathy, “ There needs to be a Nuremberg-style trial for the top people involved in the COVID fiasco.”

What was done to the world, to millions of people who died, and those suffering with the effects of long-term COVID and the vaccine, needs to be exposed to the world.
What these “leaders” did to our kids, did to our sanity, did to our way of life, must be pointed out.
All of them need to be called out, or it will happen again.

The movie shows how people ignored what happened to millions of Jewish people, artists, resisters, and folks who spoke out against Hi**er, because it didn’t involve them.
When the war was over, politicians and the like didn’t want a trial because they just wanted it to be over.
I also think people didn’t want to expose their own dark hearts and calloused attitudes towards their fellow human beings.
Others were just embarrassed by their ignorance or refusal to look into it.

I get a lot of flak from folks who believe almost everything they hear about COVID.
The same people who scorned us for not wearing masks and not getting the vaccine refuse to do the research, listen to the evidence, and admit the way it was handled was wrong.
What was done to our world was criminal, to say the least.

I know some in powerful positions agree with me that if we don’t expose the perpetrators, the evil that consumes them will fester and come back in a new form.
I hear people say, “Just leave it alone and move on.”
The result is a mental illness so powerful that no one trusts anyone, right becomes wrong, and wrong becomes right.
Oh, wait, we’re already there.
But it’s not too late.
A worldwide trial could bring justice for all.
Thoughts?
