He Needed Killin’

When people have had enough.

Ken Rex McElroy

In certain of the more, shall we say conservative states, there is a little known and seldom talked about legal defense that influences investigations, grand juries, juries and judges to refuse to enforce the letter of the law. In some places in the country, there is a principle that justifies even murder. The defense is, quite simply, “He needed killin’.”

And this isn’t something that just existed in the Wild West of the late 1800s, although the princi...

Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient, Oh My!

One of the most stunning and revelatory things I have learned about God in my lifetime is the idea that God exist across all dimensions of time and space. It explains so much if God exists outside of our 3 dimensional world and of the 4th dimensional world where the angels live (what Paul called the higher or spiritual plane). 

 If God is outside time and space then He sees the past and future at the same time. He's not looking into the future, He's looking AT the future. It explains how he can h...

Paradigm Spectacles - How Culture Affects How You View Other Cultures

 

 And why that's not a bad thing....

 

First a little story to show you what I mean. For about a year our landlords who live across the catwalk from us, hosted a young Chinese exchange student named Kate. She had come to the United States to complete high school and to get a college education. Her father is a physician and helped her get permission to study outside of China. She was a very hard-working student and quite intelligent. She didn't just drop out of Chinese high school. She rejected Chi...

I Have Found My Haberdashery!

As a native Texan, I've gotta
have this one.
For some reason, my Sweet Baboo doesn't like my loud Hawaiian fat guy shirts. I'm not sure why. I think they are quite fetching, but they do tend to disappear one by one over time. I've found a couple in the trash. I'm sure this was by accident. Anyway, I really love the shirts of the islands. I'm a bit colorblind, so I like my colors to be vibrant. I'm sure many of you enjoy vibrant colors, so in the interest of keeping my readers, many of who must sh...

Cancel Culture Goes After Thoreau

It seems they're out to cancel Henry David Thoreau's Walden experiment now. Evidently he came to the wrong conclusions, so he must not actually have done the experiment right. How else can you explain that he believed one should live simply and deliberately, self-sufficient and independent. Those are not "progressive" values. In today's "Art of Manliness", Brett and Kay McKay discuss Thoreau's landmark work and what it means for today's men (and women for that matter)."

Thoreau wanted to demonst...

We've Got Democrats Runnin' Washington Once Again

 We've Got Democrats Runnin' Washington Again

A Post Campaign Song(Tune: We've Got Franklin D. Roosevelt Back Again - 1936, Bill Cox)

Just hand me my old banjo,
For pretty soon I can go,
Back to dear old Washington far away.
Since Biden's been elected,
BLM won't be neglected.
Cause Democrats run Washington again. 

Chorus:
Once again, once again,
We've got Democrats in the Congress once again.
Since Biden’s been elected,
The economy’ll be corrected.
We'll have bucketfuls of money pouring in.

We’can ...

Disproving God - Not So Easy

 Disproving God - Not So Easy
 © 2011 by Tom King

( Sorry this runs long - it's a long philosophical muse, written on a soft Sabbath afternoon.)

Someone recently told me with perfect certainty that God and all religion can be easily disproved.

Simply because you have not seen it, does not mean it does not exist. 

You can say you are reasonably certain the thing does not exist, but I'm pretty sure an omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient trans-dimensional being might just be able to avoid appearing ...

One Man's Journey - Grandpa My Guide

My Grandpa Thomas Adolph King - My Hero



With my own father, I could never connect with his journey. He mostly journeyed away from his own father's legacy and from his home town, which for a headstrong over-active male in the late 40s was anywhere but his one-church college town and the faith of his father. He was more influenced by his mother and his mother's people who were more like him. Impulsive, stubborn, prideful Scots-Indians. His father (my grandfather) was a quiet hard-working studious m...

"It's alive! It's alive!............................sorta."

I have a theory that the Democrats are conducting genetic experiments trying to produce the ultimate president. It started with Jimmy Carter who was an early attempt to create a half Christian/half Marxist. As we know it didn't turn out very well. He became confused, froze up and began to consult his daughter on nuclear proliferation policy. Their next two attempts produced a half German/half weasel and half robot/half Kitchenaid Toaster. These iterations of the perfect Democrat president w...

Did the Donald Violate the First Amendment for a Photo Op?

New DNC talking point: Trump violated all 5 clauses of the 1st amendment when he got his picture taken in front of St. John's church with the Bible in his hand.
That's a flying load of leftist bull excrement.
1. FREEDOM OF RELIGION - Nope. Trump did not establish a state church by getting his photo taken at St. John's which someone set on fire. His appearance showed his support for an historic church where many previous presidents had worship and his determination to protect churches from those w...
