Collapse all
|I call myself "A Latter Day Jew" (my quick name for a Jewish member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.)
I have led a very interesting, most would say fascinating, life - which for the last year I have been compelled to write as an autobiographical novel under the working title of "Love Divergent"
It is a story of early tragedy, life changing visions , romance, heartache, sinning to such extreme excess that my soul grew sick of sin, having my view of life changed by God in an instant, and a life of full of miracles from then on. All this is set in a story of two people who loved each other, and then split up to go completely different directions in life.
I have been married for 36 years to a beautiful, highly intelligent and virtuous wife who is entirely content in our love for each other, and we have raised four exceptional children who each make the world a better place for living in it.
Twenty five years ago I had another religious conversion to the founding principles of our country and the original Intent and vision of the Constitution, and have been actively involved in restoring our nation since
- Restore Election Integrity - the most immediate concern since the 2020 election was: First "Rigged" by immoral and often illegal collusion between the Democrat captured media, High tech interference, six exceptionally corrupt democrat controlled counties in swing states, the deep state bureaucracy, evil NGO's, all coordinated through the DNC. The "Hacked" by deliberately vulnerable voting machines first developed and deployed in Venezuela to permanently steal elections for their communist party. Then finally "Stolen" by shutting down the ballot counting process on election night ,and adding enough absentee ballots with untraceable signatures to overcome Trumps historic lead.
- Restore the constitution so it functions as originally intended. See: HealingTheConstitution.org Seven Steps To Structurally Restore The Constitution Of The United States
- Personal integrity - I will serve for just one six-year term and not have a campaign reelection fund to avoid corruptive influences.
Election integrity
Restoring the Constitution so it functions as originally intended
Keeping my personal integrity while serving the country
My Savior and genetic cousin, Jesus of Nazareth. I spent the first 20 years of my life as an atheist. When I was ready to ask with an open heart, if I was wrong about there not being a God, and Jesus just being a successful Jewish philosopher- in an instant God filled me with a knowledge that he lives, he knows and loves me, and Jesus was indeed his chosen Savior of mankind.
Before that moment I was trying to figure out by myself what to do in life,. After that moment ,I have sought to discover God's will as to what I should do with my life, since I knew that he knew better than me, what will be good for me.
Declaration of Independence, Constitution of the United States, George Washington's Farewell Address, the anti federalist Papers (Thank you for "the Bill of Rights" that the Federalists thought was unnecessary)
Watch and listen to Dennis Prager and PragerU videos. Become a member of the Daily Wire, and and at least listen to Matt Walsh, and Michael Knawels every day. Newsmax, Blaze TV, real America's voice, Stossel TV, Fox News (though remember the anchors know they will get fired if they talk about election integrity)
If you don't have a relationship with the God of Israel yet, humble yourself in prayer and ask him to get involved with your life.
Prayerfully read the bible. especially the four gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke an John, so you can experience the life of Christ.
If you want to know my religious beliefs, Read "Jesus The Christ" by James Talmage.
Better yet go to comeuntochrist.org and invite the missionaries to bring you a free copy and go through it chapter by chapter with them. Jesus left a key to recognizing his church from false ones, which was "By their fruits you shall know them" . Nothing can be considered more to be the fruits of a religion than the children that are raised in it. I guarantee that getting to know the very young men and women that give two years of their lives to spread the gospel of Christ will be a refreshing and positive experience - especially in contrast to much of todays youth who have gone astray from eternally true biblical values.
Being faithful to this country's founding principles and the original intent of the constitution. while eschewing financial, ideological and moral corruption.
I have received a clear understanding and shared vision of the original intent of the Constitution, and developed the personal integrity to support and defend it.
I am not tempted by riches or power, but am personally content and grateful as the Lord provides me sufficient for my needs.
Support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Remembering that the proper role of government is limited to protecting the life, liberty, and property of it's citizens.
To help restore the Constitution so it functions as originally intended.
JFK being assassinated in third grade when I was eight years old. It took me more than half a century to find out the CIA was involved.
Wrangler at Cimarron Dude Ranch in Poughkeepsie, NY the summer I turned sixteen. I had gone to Tumbleweed ranch , a summer camp where you had your own horse for the summer since 5th grade, so I was an experienced horseman. I forged a 5 to a 3 on a copy of my birth certificate so they thought I was 17 going on 18.
I went from only being allowed to sweep manure my first week, to being made top wrangler and barn Foreman in two months, to acting General Manager my last weeks. At the end of the summer I tuned down a $45,000 year job offer from the owner to stay on as general manager to continue high school as a Junior.
"Jesus the Christ", by James Talmage. It gave me a full perspective of God's plan of salvation for us, his children.
I think all my hero's are scriptural, and therefore not fictional, but the natural man in me from my youth, still wants to be like James Bond.
Does it really matter, I'll have a three different one hat stick with me tomorrow.
I mostly listen to Classical, and whistle the melodies that stick in my head. Lately I've been making a long playlist of preferred Waltzes. JS Bach is the best, but my soul is drawn to the French romantics.
I also like classic rock and roll and had the largest album collection in college Lately I discovered the fantastic array of really good songs by Aimee Mann.
Several years ago I listened to over 3,000 songs by Christian artists nominated for Dove awards and found about 100 that are as well written and performed as any great music,. Unfortunately I find much of contemporary Christian music to be a lazily written lyric and melodic drones.
In the last few decades - weight gain. I can't eat as much as I enjoy, as I did in the first three decades of my life, and not gain weight because of it. In the last year I did lose 55 Lbs, but still have another 60 to go.
America's current alienation from God - and the moral, political, and financial, corruption that results from it..
Ignorance, illiteracy, and indoctrination to Marxist theory of America's Youth and adult citizens.
CCP aggression, Russian nuclear threat, globalist plans for global rule.
Not needed if we have the US Senators elected by the State Senates with the power to remove them with a two Thirds vote, and have Congressmen limited to representing a maximum of 30,000 citizens, as is still required by the U.S. Constitution but unconstitutionally ignored.
There are only 2 Senators per state regardless of population or size. T
The individual states should also have a senate made up of one senator per county regardless of population or size. The Reynolds VS Simms decision of 1963 which ignored the Article 4 of the U.S. Constitution "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government" was misguided, and should be overruled by congress.
Generally , Yes. Preferably I would like to see the seventeenth Amendment repealed with an injunction that the States' Senate chambers shall choose a U.S. Senator from within their own chamber (providing the State Senate is composed of one senator elected from each state county), and no money shall be used to influence the closed door session in which this is decided.
Keep it, and require a two thirds vote of the Senate to suspend it.
Senators Cruz, Lee, Hawkins, and Kennedy
What is the definition of an honest Politician ? One who once he's bought - stays bought.
Commitment to original intent of U.S. Constitution
Sometimes necessary, hardly desirable if policy is in line with the original intent of the constitution.
You could start by impeaching federal judges who do not support the original intent of the U.S. Constitution.
Just Constitutional Conservatives whom God has enlightened with a common appreciation of the original intent of the constitution.
Their qualifications for the office, and support of this nations founding principles and original intent of the constitution.
I'll figure that out when, or if, I am elected to serve there.
Require a "One Issue One Vote" rule for legislation in Congress.
Balance the budget.
Audit the Federal Reserve. - which is neither under federal control, nor does it keep our money in reserve.
Return to a gold standard.
Charge the Chinese Communist Party for the damage they did to our country by intentionally alloying international flights out of Wuhan, when all domestic transportation out of Wuhan was entire shut down as Covid-19 was spreading across China.
Audit and publish yearly the income of every federally elected officer holder, including any suspicious benefits to his family, business partners, significant others, etc.
