THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE CALIFORNIA

"Crews saved town near Tahoe." Drudge Report, 9/2. The town is South Lake Tahoe, where Lois' sister & her husband own a trailer in a trailer park, located adjacent next to a national forest. When I was there earlier this year, my brother-in-law John & I traveled through many of the areas affected by the huge Calder fire.

"With no tourist handouts, hungry Bali monkeys raid homes." Drudge

POLITICAL POTPOURRI

"NFL returns social justice helmet decals, & zone stencils." Drudge, 9/2. Which is why I just can't get excited about the NFL these days.

"Republican politicians vow to get real mad & staff following Afghanistan crisis." Babylon Bee

"What do the American people see from our president during this time of turmoil? Based on his loud voice during Tuesday's speech, they see an angry man who does not understand how the country feels and who tries to reconnect with Americans by comparing their losses of loved ones through his administration's failure to take the measures needed to protect our forces to the death of his son from brain cancer. Both are indeed tragic, but one of them could have been avoided. But Biden did not acknowledge his failure. Instead, he remained resolute, defiant and unwavering in his judgment that he is presiding over extraordinary success -- while all around him there is pandemonium." Townhall, 9/2

AMERICA'S DECLINE

"Whether America is in a gradual decline or something more imminent, we must act today to stop and reverse our decline. We are the greatest country with the greatest economy in the history of the world. We have the wherewithal to overcome our problems. To do so, we must be open and honest about what those problems are and take them head on. We must have the resolve to support and defend this country and our allies as well as our American competitive free enterprise system. We must realize America has a government spending problem not a revenue problem, which is the driver of our current fiscal and monetary excesses. In order to reverse our current crises, we must understand, like in 1776, there is no place for “sunshine patriots” in the United States today." Timothy Nash, Townhall 9/2

FAITH IN GOD

"Why is it that people in this nation lack faith and fear in something greater than themselves? Why is it that rates of religious observance have dropped drastically over the last 50 years, despite the enormous success our country and citizens have obtained? Does success not come from God?

"Lacking belief means lacking a basic requirement to feel morality in this world. Believing, on the other hand, requires everything. It requires professional and personal sacrifice. It requires the understanding that freedom does not come from the government or corporations, but it comes from God himself.

"Far too many people today place their absolute faith in individuals and entities in which their true intentions may be hidden. Take for example the near deification of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over the past year and a half. Tens of millions of Americans have blindly followed anything and everything the CDC says, despite its known flip-flops and potential conflicts of interest. People fear the CDC. People love the CDC. People believe that the CDC holds the key to their individual and personal freedom. This is a fallacy like nothing before. Freedom comes from God." Armstrong Williams, Townhall 9/2
