Crucifix Honey
Every April they sweeten the cross.
Package the blood. Soften the nails.
Put a choir behind the screaming
so it sounds like music.
Crucifix honey.
He died on a garbage hill covered in flies
while Jerusalem ate dinner.
Not in a cathedral.
Not in a painting.
Not in the stained glass window
your grandmother pointed at
when you were six
and told you that man loved you.
On a trash heap.
Outside the city.
Where they dumped dead animals.
Where the dogs came at night.
That’s where God died.
Naked.
Bones showing through His back.
Mouth so dry His tongue stuck to His jaw.
Soldiers underneath Him gambling for His shirt
like it was a scratch-off ticket.
His mother stood there.
Couldn’t touch Him.
Couldn’t hold His hand.
Just watched the boy she nursed in a barn
choke to death on a Roman post
while flies landed on what used to be His back.
And the church put a frame around it.
Sanded down the wood.
Took the splinters out of the cross
and made it smooth enough to hang
around a pretty neck.
We turned the execution of God
into decoration.
The Romans drove the nails.
We gold-plated them.
Crucifix honey.
He sweat blood in a garden
because His body tried to die
before they could kill Him.
And we walk past it every Sunday
like it’s wallpaper.
He carried His own death up a hill
on a back that didn’t have skin on it.
And we put the cross on a bumper sticker
between the stick figure family
and the fish.
He screamed.
And we made it a holiday.
Someone posted this on Facebook...so true!
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.
Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
It's time to apply

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world... We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class,a huge manufacturing base, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the happened? Could it be the lying parasitic politicians wasting our money?
Oh, and don't forget the relatively new bank charges....
And we all know what we think of Bankers.
I hope this goes around the UK at least 1,000,000,000 times!!!
YOU can help it get there!
Jesus urged followers to pay careful attention. The greatest sign of the last days is the abomination of desolation. This signals the greatest tribulation humanity will ever face—a crucial warning. #EndTimes#Christianity
Drawing directly from Luciferian occultism, disciple of Aleister Crowley, Russian political theorist and self-described "dark wizard" Alexander Dugin has been busy preaching his vision of a new world saved by rising empires. Useful American idiots like Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, Joel Webbon, and Steve Bannon echo his vision. But long ago, the Bible already warned us about the empires of the last days. Daniel described them as beasts.
"Four great beasts were coming up from the sea." (Daniel 7:3)
The BIble teaches that human empires are not the hope of the world. They are part of the problem. The true kingdom will not rise from the sea of nations. It will come from heaven.
"The sovereignty… will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One." (Daniel 7:27)
The future does not belong to the empires of man. It belongs to the Son of Man, the Davidic King of Israel and the whole world.

Teaching my daughter about payroll withholding
She did chores all week so I owe her $10
I hand her $7
> this isn't $10
"right, I withheld the rest"
> what does that mean
"I kept $3 of your money"
> but it's my money
"It was your money"
> what are you even doing with it?
"Funding household infrastructure"
> what
"The roof over your head. The hallway you walk through to get to the bathroom. The door locks that keep strangers out"
> you're charging me for the hallway
"I'm charging you for access to the hallway. The hallway itself was a capital expenditure"
> you're my dad. you're supposed to---
"I'm also your government"
> what if I don't want to pay for the hallway
"Then I can't guarantee the hallway"
> it's a hallway. It's already there
"For now"
She asks what else the $3 covers
"Meals, dispute resolution, nightlight maintenance"
> dispute resolution?
"When your brother takes your toys and I make him give them back. That's taxpayer funded"
> that's just parenting
"That's the Department of Justice"
> what about meals. You already feed me
"That's a social program. Not everyone qualifies"
> I'm your daughter
"Which is why you're currently enrolled"
She wants to see where the money goes
I tell her that would require a FOIA request
> what's that
"A form asking me to show you what I do with your money. Processing time is 6 to 8 weeks"
> 6 weeks to see where my $3 went?
"Could be longer. We're understaffed"
> there's two of you
She asks how she gets any of it back
"It's already spent"
> you spent my money already?
"We had a budget shortfall"
> you just took it 20 seconds ago
"And the deficit existed 30 seconds ago. The timing worked out"
> so I'm not getting it back
"I didn't say that. You might qualify for a refund"
> of my own money
"Correct. You just have to fill out a form telling me how much you made"
> you know how much I made. You paid me
"Right but I need you to tell me how much I paid you"
> so you already know the answer
"The point is compliance"
She asks what happens if she gets the number wrong
"Penalty"
> from the money I don't have because you already spent it?
"We could set up a payment plan"
> I'm 8
"Monthly installments. Very manageable"
> you're going to penalize me for getting wrong a number you already know and then make me pay you back with money you took from me
"Now you're getting it"
> I want to talk to mom
"Mom's not a qualified representative. She can't help you here"
She stormed off to her room saying how this is extortion
Slammed the door
That's my little citizen
I've never been more proud

Porn taught you sex was recreation.
The clinic is where you pay for that lie.
I'm 44. Got married at 21. Had our first kid nine months later because we knew what we were doing.
Five kids total. My wife was pregnant for 8 years of our marriage. We hit the food bank so many times the lady started calling us by name. Pawned my tools twice. Drove a van with no AC in Montana summers and no heat that actually worked in the winters.
We chose that.
On purpose.
Here's what nobody wants to say:
Abortion doesn't start at the clinic.
It starts in a bedroom with a guy who learned about sex from a screen. Who thinks it's entertainment. Stress relief. Something you do because you're bored and she said yes.
Nobody told him his body was designed to make people. Not sometimes. Not accidentally. That's the whole point of the equipment.
The baby isn't the accident.
His orgasm was.
I found my dad's magazines when I was 12. Thought I understood women by 16.
I understood nothing. I understood pixels and fantasy and a version of sex that doesn't exist anywhere outside a camera setup in the San Fernando Valley.
I got lucky. Married a woman who wanted children more than she wanted comfort. We both did.
But most guys? They got the same magazines. The same screens. The same lie.
And now they're standing in clinic parking lots wondering how recreation made a person.
Every abortion has a man attached to it.
A man who said "I'm not ready" like readiness is a feeling and not a decision.
A man who disappeared. Literally. Or just went quiet and let her do the math alone.
A man who wanted the pleasure but not the weight.
Pro-life starts with your zipper. With teaching your sons that sex makes people and that's not a bug in the system — that's the system.
My oldest son is 21. Got married at 20.
His wife went into labor at 24 weeks.
Blake came out at 1 lb 15 oz. Died twice on the table. Came back twice.
Six months old now. Still on oxygen. Still smaller than the other babies.
Still here.
I look at him and I think about all the math that didn't get done. All the choices that got made before he existed that meant he would exist.
My wife and I chose poverty at 21.
My son and his wife chose to fight at 24 weeks.
Blake chose to keep breathing.
Choices all the way down. Not accidents.
Porn taught an entire generation that sex is content. Entertainment. Something you consume.
Then they're shocked when consumption creates a person.
You want to be pro-life?
Kill the lie first.
Sex isn't recreation. It's creation.
Your body knows this even if your browser history doesn't.
🚨 BREAKING: More lawmakers are adding their names to House Bill 3038, which would abolish abortion in Oklahoma.

"So you campaigned on fixing the damn roads?"
"Yep"
"And you came in with a $9 billion surplus?"
"Uh huh"
“And now you want to increase your budget by 50% from your first budget to $88B?”
“That’s correct, Dave”
“So your population must’ve increased enough for that to make sense, right?”
“No Dave, Michigan’s actually second to last in population growth in the nation and we lost 36,000 jobs last year.”
"And the roads are even worse now than when you started?"
"Yep, some of the worst in the country"
“Okay then, so how are your schools?”

“Hello? Hello? Hmm… I think we lost Gretchen.”
