Gary Varvel: Flashback: Dems wanted to cut waste, fraud and abuseDems threaten shutdown bluff, Paid Subscribers: Time lapse videos and Humor Me winners
Hypocrisy much? In 2010, President Obama held a meeting with Congressional leaders and it was recorded. There is video of Sen. Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi saying that they needed to cut waste, fraud and abuse from Social Security and Medicare. Katie Pavlich curated the videos. Check here. Fast-forward 15 years with President Trump’s DOGE doing the very thing and Schumer proposed and now he and the Dems are losing their minds. They say Elon Musk is lying about the waste, fraud and abuse. What changed? It’s all about political power and the Dems are losing it. Help me reach new subscribers by clicking the like button.
Political suicide: Fox News reports: Republicans are ramping up pressure on Senate Democrats ahead of a vote on the House-passed stopgap spending bill to keep the government open, even dubbing a potential funding lapse as a "Schumer shutdown." My how the tables have turned. Republicans usually get blamed for shutdowns, but the Democrats are proudly proclaiming that they will vote against any continuing resolution. But last night, “Chuck Schumer caved on shutting down the government, and House Democrats are super angry.” Here’s a Townhall column by Rebecca Downs. And Matt Vespa writes, “The Dems just can't beat Trump...and it's glorious to watch.” Schumer called Republicans “bastards” and said, “They’re ruining democracy.” Chucky, our government is a Constitutional Republic. DEVOTIONAL“Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.” - Ephesians 4:23-24 What is the purpose of your life? It’s March Madness once again. Can you imagine watching a basketball game in which the backboards had no basketball goals? There would be no point in playing. Sadly, that’s the way millions of people live their life. Shortly before his death, Mark Twain wrote these words. "A myriad of men are born; they labor and sweat and struggle...they squabble and scold and fight; they scramble for little mean advantages over each other; age creeps upon them; infirmities follow...those they love are taken from them and the joy of life is turned to aching grief. It (the release) comes at last – the only unpoisoned gift earth ever had for them – and they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence...a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever." Yikes! That, my friends, is a life without purpose. The Bible says, God created humans in His image to have fellowship with Him. But when Adam and Eve sinned, that image was marred by sin and death which separated us from God. For this reason, Jesus came to restore our fellowship with God.
By dying for our sins and rising from the dead, Jesus offers eternal life to anyone who repents of their sins and trusts in Him. Then God begins conforming us to the likeness of His Son. (Romans 8:29). Our purpose in life is to be like Jesus. So what is the goal of your life? Listen, our life is like a basketball game in this respect — our time is running out. So don’t live a life described by Twain. Aim higher. NEED A SPEAKER?Contact me for a unique experience of visual and verbal humor. Email: gary@garyvarvel.com RIGHT VIEWS
