US Postal Service Job One Make Henry Waxman look good

According to the UPI News, report “Rep. Henry Waxman, D-CA., wants to know why a first-class letter can take up to two weeks to get from one Los Angeles neighborhood to another” http://pub30.bravenet.com/news/2545430821/81992/3

It seems that getting a political contribution via first class mail on time or getting the latest edition of let’s bash the Republican Governor Time Magazine is more important to Henry Waxman than to stop the Hezbollah from taking over the great country of Lebanon.

It seems Henry has too much time on his hands. Is this a signal of him stepping down to take over the US Postal Service, Henry Waxman as the Postmaster General, that to me is not a comforting thought.

When the time comes, that we have one-day mail and the Hezbollah as the ruling party of the United States of Hezbollah formally known as United States of American we can all thank Rep. Henry Waxman, D-CA for making it so.

It is sad that the Liberals, Mudders©* and Conservatives cannot see the task at hand.
If the seize-fire happens with Gaza & Lebanon are not in control of Israel, we here in the USA will be using the 2nd amendment to defend our families against the Hezbollah etc. on our native soil.
Rise Up and Stand for Eretz Israel no other thing will do.

Now Homeless - An Angel's House Burned Down

I was at the place where Sylvia works at where I pay one of my monthly bills. I noticed that Sylvia and Glenda her co-worker was not at the teller line. I mention where was Sylvia and Glenda at, I thought they were taking a late lunch. I was told that Sylvia’s house burned and was still burning as I stood there in the teller line and Glenda took her to Sylvia’s house.

The answered surprise me for you think that as “Saintly” she is that she would not lose her home in a fire.

Whoever reading this blog probably do not know Sylvia but I do. She is one that never said a bad word. She has blessed me with a bottle of cold water and a peach on a hot summer day that I had to walk all the way there to pay my bill.

At times of our life for whatever reason that G-D in his infinite wisdom and love allowed this tragedy to befall Sylvia.

I am with a sad heart that this has happened to such a wonderful friend and fellow servant in G-D.

Many times in our lives, people lose their home, some to fire and some to evil property owners. We may never know why it befalls that person to lose their home. Some lose their home due to G-D’s judgment on their life but for Sylvia I just cry and wonder why.

Life in this town has been hard on me for I am not from here (read my other blogs about this town) many people try to make your life miserable if you are not from here but Sylvia is one of the very few that does make a difference in helping others lives and all I can say is

Why Sylvia’s house L-rd why?

Please say a prayer for Sylvia and those who know here give here a donation to help here in the time of need

You can also send in a donation to our International Mission Headquarters and we will pass it to her.

Clearly said a vote for the seize fire in Lebanon is a vote for Hezbollah terrorist to take over Lebanon.

More airstrikes, death in Lebanon
JERUSALEM, Aug. 7 (UPI) --
At least 15 people died Monday in Lebanon as Israeli planes again pounded southern Beirut and other Hezbollah strongholds.
In the village of Hula in southern Lebanon, one person was killed and 50 rescued from the rubble, The New York Times said.
Earlier in the day, at a meeting of Arab foreign ministers, Prime Minister Fouad Siniora tearfully claimed 40 deaths and said that Israel had targeted a civilian area.
"Thank God, they have been saved," Siniora said. "But those who shoot to kill innocent people proved they have the intention to kill."
He later withdrew the allegation.
In Jerusalem, Irsaeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz said he had issued an "unequivocal order" to operate anywhere in Lebanon to curb rocket attacks on Israel. By midday, Ynetnews said 90 Hezbollah rockets had been fired into northern Israel.
Elsewhere, fighting between Israeli soldiers and Hezbollah militants erupted in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon, CNN reported.
An Israeli soldier was killed in a morning battle with Hezbollah terrorists in Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon, and 14 Hezbollah militants were also reported killed, a broadcast by Arutz Sheva reported.
In northern Israel, three people were wounded as Katyusha rocket volleys struck, two of which scored direct hits on houses, the Jerusalem Post said.
Sunday, Hezbollah rockets killed 15 Israelis. In Haifa, a woman and two men were killed and at least 189 people were wounded in a wave of shelling.

They say you are not welcomed here - Hatred of people who are different

They say you are not welcomed here - Hatred of people who are different Today I had an interesting conversation with a pastor of a traditional liturgical church here in town.

I have been a part of this church for over 4 years. I have been told many times that I am not welcomed here and have been kept from being hired for jobs that my fellow parishioners have had to fill for their businesses etc.

I have done volunteer jobs around the parish without pay as well as never a thank you either.

Many have used the excuse of my being handicap others just show coldness not only to me but to other members of the parish and community as well.

To them I have many faults

#1 First this is state where the War Between the States started and I am “not from here” as they will remind you continually. To them if you are not from here you are a D**M Yankee.

#2 I am an Orthodox Messianic Jew and am not welcome. Racial hatred of Jews is still paramount here.

#3 I am not rich nor well off so I am not capable of donating large sums of money to their “pet projects” .They always have a project to send the teenagers of the parish somewhere. They have fundraisers to pay for the trip but there is no one in the parish that cannot afford to pay for their own child, thy act as if they are so poor.

#4 I am somewhat handicap, near homeless and many times without food because they as well as the community here have kept my business from succeeding and me from work because I refuse to go on food stamps or any type of government assistance.

This makes them mad because they think their way is the only way and I refuse,

I have preached the same message taking social service, education etc out of the hands of the government and putting it into the hands of private individuals and churches, synagogues etc.

They think since I refuse to go the government's easy way that I must be psychotic simply because I believe G-D’s way is the better and only way.

This Pastor as I have heard from various people have told others not to hire me for work. He wants to MAKE ME bow down and FORCE ME to take government welfare. To put it mildly I feel like he is trying to rape me, this may be strong words but it is the truth.

I have lost all trust for people of this parish, this community, and especially this pastor. When he hears I am suffering you can see the abundant joyfulness on his face, and this is so sad.

Through all of this I Praise G-D and give Him all the glory and praise, Amen.

Long time ago I have learned, to not put your trust in people; they will try to take advantage of you if they can.

I have learned long ago to look for the fruits of the spirit in a person’s life to see if they really have a deep & personal relationship with G-D.

As I see in this parish and at most churches in this town's their fruit is rotten and they will have a surprise at the end of their life.

Do I go around and act out hate toward these people? No! I go about being nice to them and encouraging them as the Scripture says in Romans 12:19-21 (King James Version)
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

So this is what I do as much as I can I.

One interesting note, one of the person’s that has tried to get rid of me came up to me one Sunday morning said ” You, don’t belong here". I opened my mouth and literally, G-D gave me the words to speak, I said, “I am sorry you are a bigot but G-D loves me. She was a gasp and could not say anything I thought of Daniel in the lion’s den. She left and I found the pastor and told him what I said and he congratulated me. Unfortunately, he was forced to leave and take another parish for he was not from here and not their "cup of tea".

Months later her husband was going to the same door as me in the parish hall, I opened it for him, and I said have a great day, you could see the absolute hatred on his face toward me, but I smiled and was nice to him. As it says it heaps coal s of fire on him and that week he killed himself on their front yard.
For a church that is over 150 years and cannot get 60 people to show up for service shows the grounded hate that is prevalent in this parish as well as in this community. The whole town is stranded in cliques, ingrowness and small family churches by people not fully trained who just got up and started preaching. One thing for sure, if you are different than them, they will claim you have mental illness. fraud or what ever to try to discredit you. Of course they are talking about themselves for they are looking a the beam in their eye Matthew 7 (King James Version)Matthew 7:1 - 5 1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

The census shows that people are leaving this area even the kids go to college etc, they leave for other parts of the country. It been said that in 20 years this community will be gone unless a real miracle of G-D and people’s hearts truly have changed

All of this reminds me of Star Trek show where Data put out a do not enter beacon out to keep people from crossing into the area of space that a hidden planet with a dangerous civilization is, reminds me of this city and state.

Do not worry what the mad haters are doing but watch your back.
Go in Peace and serve G-D. Amen©2006 by Rabbi Dale All Rights Reserved

Slum landowners

Is not it amazing that Slum owners will not fix your house but they want your rent money.

While I am against making more laws on the books, we do need a law against these slum landowners. MAYBE EVEN GIVING THEM SERIOUS JAIL TIME.

In the 5 years, I have lived in this city, all the nine places I have lived have all have been condemned except one, and that one had serious code violations and where I now live, will be condemned after I move out.

I have lived in three mobile homes and all have been condemned and demolished.

The chief building inspector condemned one place, a two-story duplex. The landlady a rich non-white, non-Republican business owner that made the city over rule the chief building inspector and rescinded the demolished order and had the building inspector fired.

When the aforementioned place, collapse due to lack if structure integrity or it catches on fire due to bad wiring etc. I hope that the landowner be held accountable for the deaths of the occupants and destruction of their personal property.

We must stand up to these slum landowners and their agents now or other, landowners will not repair their property until “something” goes wrong!

In our community, we have countless homeless and poor people and even a greater number of abandoned homes that are sitting vacant.

These properties must be bought from the present owners by private funds and sold to these people & enable them to fix up and bring the houses up to code.

Don’t let people that are powerful and rich who may just happen to also be non-white and non-Republican * gets away with substandard and dangerous housing no one is truly safe to live and work in any structure in this or any community.

One never knows if the building you are in has not been deemed unsafe, by the building inspector but the power slum owners have overruled them and have put profit over our safety,

Need I say more?

(*every landowner I have rented from has been non-white and non-Republican need I say more?)
