Eula Goodnight: Marshal Cogburn, we’re ready to go. Shooting cornbread in a meadow is not taking us anywhere. And my father’s murderers ride free.

Rooster Cogburn: Well, Sister, I was just celebratin’ a little.

Eula Goodnight: Celebrating what?

Rooster Cogburn: Bein’ alive, Sister. Bein’ alive.

Rooster Cogburn 1975

I’m slightly confused.

Five years ago Greta Thunburg thought the world was going to end in five years.

It didn’t.

So she deleted the tweet that said it would happen and that’s all.

But WHY is that all?

Shouldn’t she be happy that the world didn’t end? Isn’t the idea that we all didn’t die from climate change a reason for people all over the world to celebrate?

Yet none of the people who agreed with this dire prediction seem pleased, they just seem to want to quietly walk away.

Hey if my Doctor had told me I had five years to live and five years later I was still going strong I’d throw a party.

But in fairness to Greta this happened before. In January of 2006 Al Gore said we had ten years to save the planet and the great Rush Limbaugh decided to run with it:

Now, the last time I heard some liberal talk about “ten years” it was 1988, Ted Danson. We had ten years to save the oceans; we were all going to pay the consequences, which would result in our death. Now Al Gore says we’ve got ten years. Ten years left to save the planet from a scorching. Okay, we’re going to start counting. This is January 27th, 2006. We will begin the count, ladies and gentlemen. This is just… You have to love these people — from afar, and from a purely observational point of view.

Ten years later the clock ran out and for some reason Al Gore didn’t celebrate the fact that mankind had survived either.

You’d think they all wanted us to burn, or starve or something.

Well personally even with all the problems the world still has I think this calls for a party so I declare March 18th 2023 A Day of Celebration of us all being alive so let’s party using a slight variation of my own Happy Birthday Song

♫ Hurray we're not dead! ♪
Hurray we're not dead!

We haven't died yet
We haven't died yet

Five years have passed and we're still here
The Climate death did not appear

So let  have a laugh and give a cheer
Hurry we're not dead!

♪ We're not dead. ♫

Climate change didn’t kill us, HUZZAH!

18th and 19th Century and early 20th Century Americans and Brits take a bow.

During those days hundreds if not thousands of missionaries visited Africa spreading the word of both Christianity and the rights of man attempting to teach the idea that man’s equality before God and before the law.

It is now the 21st Century and Western Civilization is having a crisis faith in both of those things, primarily due to the successful attempts by the left to de-Christianize us and lo and behold Africa is stepping into the breach:

From the Anglican Churches in Africa:

Conservative Anglican archbishops in Africa are challenging a decision by the Church of England to allow clergy to bless same sex couples’ marriages, warning that the move puts the worldwide Anglican Communion in further jeopardy.

It seems the missionaries who went there taught them too well.

“The Church of England is very good at making contradictory statements and expecting everyone to believe both can be true at the same time. That’s what they have done with this decision,” said Archbishop Stephen Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu of Uganda in his statement.

Kaziimba said that despite the English church’s insistence that it was not changing its doctrine on marriage, it is doing exactly that, the only significant difference being the terminology of wedding versus a service of blessing.

“The Church of England … has now departed from the Bible and their message is the opposite,” said Kaziimba. “They are even offering to bless that sin. That is wrong. As the Church of Uganda, we cannot accept that. God cannot bless what he calls sin.”

Or as they put it so well: “We can’t walk with you unless you repent.“

Meanwhile an African reporter covering the White House says bluntly what American Reporters seem to be afraid to say both about the events of January 6th:

Some are now trying to crucify @FoxNews @TuckerCarlson over January 6th footage because America has decided to live a lie, blame only @realDonaldTrump and turn a blind eye to the massive security failure on January 6, 2021. But many people around the world continue to wonder, how on earth was it possible that in the greatest country in the world, in the most armed nation on the planet with the best and most expensive security agencies in the universe, one of the most important buildings was left unprotected and was easily taken over by protesters while the presidential election was being certified and the Vice President was in the building? Why is no serious investigation done to understand that security failure and hold accountable every person who was in charge that day? Isn’t that the most important investigation to be carried out?

Those are the words of Simon Ateba the Chief White House Correspondent of Today News Africa. He follows up with the most obvious question about the left’s reactions to those questioning the 2020 elections.

Also, why is it hard to understand that when an election takes place during a pandemic, with millions of people shipping ballots rather than showing up at voting centers on election day, many people would be skeptical about the results of that election, especially when the candidate who lost won the election day vote?

That’s a rather obvious statement and he continues but making a point I’ve been asking for years.

Instead of labeling people election deniers, is it not better to ensure that even the appearance of fraud is eliminated by having most people vote in-person on election day and with proper identification?

I submit and suggest the answer is clear, because if they do have an honest election the left can’t win or do you think it’s a coincidence that after Ron DeSantis got rules passed to clean up elections in Florida the Democrat party collapsed like a paper tiger?

While there are many places where these lesions did not take root as they might (see South Africa and Zimbabwe) we take our hats off to those missionaries who made the difference

The worst part of what we’ve seen in the Biden years so far is that almost all of it was completely preventable.

Jane Fonda calling for the murder of Americans who disagree with her live on national TV is the price we paid for not prosecuting her for treason as she sat on a NVA anti aircraft gun 50 years ago.

The left will decide the standards of justice, evidence and imprisonment of those charged & imprisoned for crimes on J6 is beyond the pale as soon as a GOP administration applies those same standards to ANTIFA & BLM when they attack people and property and not before.

Anyone who thinks that the left will treat any other GOP candidate, particularly Ron DeSantis differently than they have treated Donald Trump over the last 6 years is deluding themselves.

It doesn’t matter how many people on talk radio or sports shows suggest otherwise Tom Brady is not playing football this year
