Marshall, Texas

[wutbju]

It is Holy Week. It's time to remember the sins that put Jesus on the cross.

One hundred years ago today in Marshall, Texas, Bob Jones, Sr. preached on the Lazarus and the Rich Man. Before he began, however, he stated:

All sorts of rumors are started when a revival meeting reaches the stage this one has reached. We have not time to answer all these things, but they just will be started. For instance, it is reported that last night, after the meeting here, Mr. Storrs, Mr. Grimes and I attended a meeting of the klan. That is true. We did attend a klan meeting. At the invitation of the leaders of the klan when the services were over last night, I went to their meeting to tell a few members of the Christ. It may surprise some of you to know that I found in that meeting five preachers, and about forty-five deacons and elders of your churches here. I go through every open door to preach the religion of Jesus Christ. There were a few men in the klan here, I was told, who did not profess any religious affiliation. It was to these few I went to preach. I will go anywhere to preach the gospel of our Savior, and I do not apologize for going to that meeting.

The 1920s KKK was not an open group that allowed just anybody to come in and speak. This is dramatic, and it's from Bob Jones, Sr.'s own mouth. He spoke at a Klan meeting.

How was this possible? How did he justify it? I know he says he did it to "preach the gospel of our Savior," but the Klan members had already taken a vow that they believed in Protestant doctrine. So that's not it. That's not the case.

I set out to understand this six years ago. It took that long to wrap my head around this statement and what it meant for Bob Jones, what it meant for Marshall Texas....

And what it means for me and for you, as those who have inherited Bob Jones' ideology.

But for now, we must all confess that this is our heritage. This is our Klandamentalism -- our sin.

BASS REEVES. 1838-1910. U.S. Deputy Marshall.

Reeves was born into slavery then had a fight with his slave owner and ran and lived with the Cherokee and Creek people learning many native languages.

He became a free man under the 13th Amendment and later enlisted in Law Enforcement. He became the first African U.S. Deputy Marshall west of the Mississippi with full authority over the states of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

During his 32 years in office he personally went on to arrest over 3,000 dangerous criminals, shooting 14 in the process of arrest.

He was and STILL is the most prolific Law Enforcement Officer ever in the U.S.A.

He carried a Winchester Rifle and two Cal. 45 Colts and rode a snow white horse. Quite a few experts believe that he was the inspiration for ' The Lone Ranger' stories.

the Kingdom of Hawaii should be allowed to close their borders and recover for like 50 years, no nonHawaiians on the island and when they have healed they can enter the world when they want and offer tours or college or whatever on their terms and in a respectful way.

also usa reparations should include cleaning the oceans, at least pacific and atlantic

Ramblin' Rides with Amber: Episode 12

Welcome to the first episode in 2023. I have missed making these - so I promise to make more, more often! I've been having a lot of fun with work and pleasure. Tune in now to hear what I have been been up to so far in the New Year.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz reintroduced a bill last week to limit senators from serving more than two six-year terms, even as he stands by plans to run for his third.

The bill is a constitutional amendment that would prevent U.S. Senators from serving more than 12 years. It would also prevent those in the U.S. House from serving more than three two-year terms. Terms served by members prior to the bill’s enactment would not count toward the proposed term limitations, which means that if the bill were to be passed by this Congress, Cruz would not be term limited until 2036.

“Term limits are critical to fixing what’s wrong with Washington, D.C.,” the Texas Republican said in a statement after introducing the bill last week. “The Founding Fathers envisioned a government of citizen legislators who would serve for a few years and return home, not a government run by a small group of special interests and lifelong, permanently entrenched politicians who prey upon the brokenness of Washington to govern in a manner that is totally unaccountable to the American people.”

He declined to answer questions about why he would seek a third term in office, given his view about the need to limit how long members should serve.

It is highly unlikely that the bill will have any traction in Congress. This is the fourth time Cruz has introduced the legislation, but it has never gotten a vote in either the House or the Senate.

Cruz announced in November that he is seeking a third term in the Senate in 2024.

“I’m running for reelection in the Senate; I’m focused on the battles in the United States Senate,” Cruz told reporters after addressing the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership meeting in Las Vegas.

At the same time, Cruz hasn’t ruled out plans to pivot and run for President instead. He previously ran for President in 2016.

Cruz originally announced the bill alongside then-U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, now Florida Governor, in 2017 and alongside former U.S. Rep. Francis Rooney, R-Florida, in 2019. U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman, R-South Carolina, is now leading the charge to pass the bill in the U.S. House.

This year his co-sponsors in the U.S. Senate included Republican Sens. J.D. Vance of Ohio, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Roger Marshall of Kansas, Mike Lee of Utah, Steve Daines of Montana, Todd Young of Indiana, Mike Braun of Indiana, Rick Scott of Florida, Josh Hawley of Missouri and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama.

There’s an incredibly high threshold to pass a constitutional amendment. They must receive two-thirds of the votes in each chamber before having to be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures in the country.

Cruz was elected to his first term in 2012 and was reelected to a second term after a hard-fought race against Beto O’Rourke in 2018.

The average amount of time that those elected to the 118th Congress have served was 8.5 years for those in the House and 11.2 years for those in the Senate, according to the Congressional Research Service.

In the Texas Legislature, state Sen. Roland Gutierrez, D-San Antonio, piled on with his own bill that would allow Texas to cap its U.S. Senators to serving at most two terms in office. Gutierrez told The Texas Tribune that the “bill seeks to oblige” Cruz.

“This is the same story he does every two years,” Gutierrez said. “It is beyond hypocrisy, if he wants term limits so badly to save us from entrenched politicians, then he needs to go retire now. He’s done his 12 years.”

It’s unclear whether Gutierrez’s proposal has any teeth behind it if passed by the Legislature.

Gutierrez said it may depend on the outcome of a U.S. Supreme Court case that centers around whether a state judicial branch has the authority to discard federal election regulations implemented by a state legislature. If the Supreme Court sides with North Carolina legislators, it could open a path for state legislators to institute term limits on their congressional leaders.
