The Democrat Party is counting on receiving roughly 95% of Black votes. Biden has gone so far as to say that the Black community (unlike the Hispanic) is monolithic and that a Black person isn’t really Black if he votes Republican.

Suppose there existed a device—a gadget, say—that would give its owner—you or me, say—certain godlike abilities, such as the instant (or near-instant) eradication of evil (or an evil-doer)? What if it could fix things on that laundry list of grievances for God we keep in our back pocket?

Hard to believe that it’s been 40 years since I was sitting in a hotel room northeast of here waiting for Hurricane Allen to blow across the RGV. Hardly seems possible, the passage of so many years.

He comes almost with a bravado and tells Ahab, “Let’s have it out once and for all. This god your wife Jezebel has imported into this nation must be destroyed. Let us have a showdown between Jezebel’s god — Baal — and the Lord God Jehovah. Prayer answered by fire will be the test.”
