Biden Checks Watch and Disrespects Dead Warriors

Published

on

The disrespect of President Biden for the warriors who sacrificed their lives in the service of the country continues.  At the “dignified transfer” of the warrior, President Biden seemed callous and uncaring about the suffering of the families who lost loved ones by checking his watch.  Families of the fallen had gathered at a  Dover Air Force Base to welcome home their bodies.

The Service Members Who Lost Their Life

The 13 service members who were killed in a terrorist attack at the Kabul airport were:

Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo, 25, of Lawrence, Massachusetts

Sgt. Nicole L. Gee, 23, of Sacramento, California

Staff Sgt. Darin T. Hoover, 31, of Salt Lake City, Utah

Cpl. Hunter Lopez, 22, of Indio, California, a rifleman

Cpl. Daegan W. Page, 23, of Omaha, Nebraska, a rifleman

Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez, 22, of Logansport, Indiana, a rifleman

Lance Cpl. David L. Espinoza, 20, of Rio Bravo, Texas, a rifleman

Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz, 20, of St. Charles, Missouri, a rifleman

Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum, 20, of Jackson, Wyoming, a rifleman

Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola, 20, of Rancho Cucamonga, California, a rifleman

Lance Cpl. Kareem M. Nikoui, 20, of Norco, California

Navy Corpsman Maxton W. Soviak, 22, of Berlin Heights, Ohio

Staff Sgt. Ryan C. Knauss, 23, of Corryton, Tennessee

The combined average age of these brave warriors is 22.38 years old.   Five of the service members were only 20 years of age.  Biden, who has served in Congress for over 50 years, made decisions that took the lives of these young warriors, which will now impact the lives of their families forever.  The least that a commander and chief can do in honor of those who have given their lives to protect this country is to show respect in transferring their bodies.

President Biden wants credit for the decision to leave Afghanistan but wants to take no responsibility for how the withdrawal has taken place.  The reality is that President Trump was the one that decided that it was time to end US troop occupation in Afghanistan, not Biden.  Trump understood the dangers of the withdrawal and wanted to ensure the safety of all Americans.  President Biden should not get credit for a decision that he would not have the courage to make. He should, however, get all the credit for how the withdrawal has unfolded and the complete disaster it has made America look on the national stage.

They Deserve Better, and So Does Every American

President Biden will continue to make bad decisions if the first months of his presidency are any indication.  It was a bad decision to remove the troops before moving the equipment.  It was a bad decision to trust a terrorist organization with the lives of American citizens.  And it was a bad decision to check his watch during a somber event honoring fallen heroes.  The warriors deserved better, and so does the American people.

Eight Dysphemisms to Start Your Week

A dysphemism is a word or phrase that is more offensive than the words it is replacing

Published

on

A “euphemism” is the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that might suggest something more bluntly or offend others, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. To say, for example, “He doesn’t have all his marbles,” is regarded as gentler than saying “He is stark raving insane.”

The Mighty Dysphemism

The opposite of a euphemism is a “dysphemism.” A dysphemism is a word or phrase that is more offensive, blunt, or harsh than the word or phrase which it is replacing. For example, instead of stating that the Manhattan District Attorney is “cognitively challenged,” you refer to him instead as a “total partisan whack job.”

For your amusement, at the least, here are eight dysphemism followed by the kinder, gentler, or at least more definitive terminology of what is being said:

“Biting off more than you can chew” – Orally extracting an amount of edible matter that exceeds what one is comfortably able to masticate.

“That’s a load of B.S.” – Your assertion reminds one of bovine excretion.

“Sh__faced” – Bearing an expression that one normally associates with the act of removing solid waste from the body.

“Can’t tell your ass from your elbow” – Unable to differentiate between your dorsal side orifice and the joint connecting your forearm and upper arm.

“Stepping in a pile of crap” – A pedestrian venture into an accumulation of animal or human waste.

“Go F-yourself” – Engage in the act of physical consummation with yourself.

“Up to your eyeballs in crap” – Finding yourself surrounded at the visual level by unpleasantly aromatic organic waste.

“Carnal knowledge” – Having a close encounter with another, free of garments and other impediments, leading to direct tactile stimulation.

A True Time Saver

Thank goodness for dysphemisms. In a most fundamental way, they are true time-savers. Without them, we’d be groping for tedious phrasing all day long. “Up your nose with a rubber hose,” if you don’t “catch my drift.”

God is in control of all things and that we can trust Him completely

Trusting God during uncertain times can be challenging, but it is essential for believers to lean on their faith and trust in God’s plan. As a Christian, I firmly believe that God is in control of all things and that we can find peace in His presence. In this article, we will explore ways to trust God during uncertain times and provide relevant scripture and quotes from famous pastors and Bible teachers.

Remember God’s Promises
God’s promises are true, and we can rely on them during times of uncertainty. The Bible is full of promises that God has made to His people. One such promise is found in Jeremiah 29:11, which says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” When we trust in God’s promises, we can have hope and confidence in His plan for our lives.

Another promise is found in Philippians 4:6-7, which says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” When we give our worries and fears to God, He can replace them with peace and comfort.

Focus on God’s Character
When we focus on God’s character, we can trust Him more fully. The Bible tells us that God is loving, faithful, and just. In Psalm 145:13, we read, “The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made.” When we remember that God is loving and faithful, we can trust Him to keep His promises.

Another important aspect of God’s character is His justice. In Romans 8:28, we read, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” God can use even the difficult times in our lives for His glory and our ultimate good.

Seek God’s Will
During uncertain times, it is essential to seek God’s will for our lives. When we trust in His plan, we can find peace and comfort. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” By seeking God’s will, we can have confidence that He will guide us in the right direction.

Build Your Faith
One way to trust God during uncertain times is to build our faith. Romans 10:17 says, “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” By reading the Bible and spending time in prayer, we can strengthen our faith and trust in God’s plan.

Connect with Others
During times of uncertainty, it is important to connect with others who share our faith. Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” By connecting with other believers, we can find support and encouragement.

In closing, trusting God during uncertain times can be challenging, but it is possible. By remembering God’s promises, focusing on His character, seeking His will, building our faith, and connecting with others, we can trust in God’s plan for our lives. As the famous pastor Charles Stanley once said, “Trusting God means looking beyond what we can see to what God sees.” Let us trust in God every day during these uncertain times.
