VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
One-Sided Way
Of Reporting
u
Dear Editor:
The one-sided, one might even
say racist, practices of report
ing by the liberal news media
was revealed during Sunday’s
NASCAR race event, Kyle
Larson, a NASCAR driver who
is part white and part Japa
nese, made this comment to his
spotter, his fan, “You cant hear
me can you N . JF
The news media jumped right
on this suggesting Kyle's spon
sors should pull their sponsor
ship from him and his crow,
because he used the N word, a
word many who use the same
word accuse of being a racist
word.
Note: The news media does
not call out comedians, such as
Richard Pryor, who regular re
ferred to a 11 his black fans as N_
, nor does the news media
call out rap artists tor calling
all of their black fans N ,
as they called out Kyle for call
ing just one of his fans a N
This one-sided way of report
ing, does it not reveal the goal
of the liberal media, to conquer
and divide “We the People”,
making America a soft target
for any who might want to in
vade and overtake her. 'This
one sided way of re porting just
might reveal the liberal news
media just might be on the pay
roll of a foreign government.
If the news media had respect
and regard for the good of all
Americans, black ones too,
might they have chosen to re
port the facts that Kyle Larson
JJ
called his fan the same name
Richard and many a Rap artist
called their fans, that being N
,, and then left it at that?
To make my point about a one
sided news media, who jumps
on a story about one NASCAR
d liver calling one of his fansN
, but never calls out others
who call all of their fans N
, I include in this article just
a small sampling of songs that
Google listed as having the N-
word in them, and then again
point out the fact that the news
media never ridicules the art
ists of these songs, as it did
Kyle, the racer.
Note, 1 did not spell out the N
word, nor did I call out any
particular individual as did the
liberal news media, who called
out Kyle for using the N word. I
just copied from Google a list of
songs that include the N-WOrd
and pasted them into this ar
ticle.
Song Titles. Good N
Sticker, Rock and Roll N
White N Woman is
the N of the World, One
SmartN , N in the
Morgue.
P.S. if any news reporter hap
pens to read this article, I en
courage you to leave your opin
ion out of your reporting and
report the facts, not just the
facts that one like Kyle called
his fan an N , but the fact
that many others call their fans

“S elf-Satisfied”
Dear Editor:
“Seest thou a man WISE IN
HIS OWN CONCEIT? There is
more hope of a fool than of him,' 1
(Proverbs 26:12}
The preceding text of scrip
ture gives us a staunch warn
ing against CONCEIT. Now,
what is CONCEIT? Well, CON
CEIT is defined as “too high an
opinion of one s ability, worth
or personality: VANITY.”
ALL true wisdom comes from
God. James 1:5 instructs us
thusly, “If any of you lack wis
dom, let him ASK OF GOD,
that giveth to all men liher-
ally..T' So, when a person is
WISE IN HIS OWN CONCEIT,
he/she is looking no further than
his/her own exalted opinion of
themselves, and is traveling a
path worse than that of a fool -
they are steeped in SELF SAT
ISFACTION.
God’s Word lets us know' in no
uncertain terms that we hu
mans have no wisdom of our
own and cannot TRUST to our
own way. Proverbs 3:5 im p lores
us to, “Trust in the LORD with
all thine heart; and lean NOT
UNTO THINE OWN UNDER
STANDING.” It goes on to say
in verse 7, “BE NOT WISE in
thine own eyes...” (a clear re
buke against CONCEIT}.
Moreover, the Prophet
Jeremiah exclaims thusly, “0
LORD, I know that the way of
man is not in himself: It is not
in man that walketh to direct
his steps,” (Jeremiah 12:23)
A classic example of a CON
CEITED, self-exalted people is
found in God’s message to the
church of the Laodiceans: “I
know thy works, that thou art
neither cold nor hot:...So then
because thou art LUKEWARM,
...I will spue thee out of my
mouth. Because thou sayest, I
am rich and increased with
goods and have need of noth
ing; and knowest NOT that
THOU ART WRETCHED,
AND MISERABLE, AND
POOR, AND BLIND, AND
NAKED. (Revelation 3:15-17.)
Because they do not walk in the
LIGHT of God’s Truth, they are
blind to their true condition.
The only religion that leads to
God is that that first comes
from God, In Ephesians2:8, we
read these words: “For by grace
arc you saved through faith;
and that NOT OF YOUR
SELVES: it is the GIFT OF
GOD.” Wecannotmapour own
way back to God. This has
already been given to us by God
through the life of Christ, who
is “the WAY, the TRUTH, and
the LIFE.” (John 14:6.) We
cannot even bring ourselves to
repentance on our own, for the
Bible tells us in Romans 2:4:
“...the goodness of God leadeth
thee lo repentance.” For a hu
man being to try to find his/her
own way back to God is, at best,
walking in darkness, because a
deceptive heart, which we are
all born with, cannot generate
good laws. The rides of moral
conduct that direct us to God
have been GIVEN to us by God
in His Holy Ten Commandment
Law, which we obey by His
Strength and Grace. Anything
short of this simply makes us a
p art of LAODIC EA - SELF-EX-
ALTED, SELF-CONCEITED
and SELF-SATISFIED.

Deer Cuzzm Val:
It’s been a week so I thought
I’d better go by the g’rage to
check to see how the boys were
a'doing. They were in rare form,
as usual, The number of unfixed
automobiles in the parking lot
had - if anything - increased in
number and both looked even
more greasier thanthe lasttime
I had saw them. They had Fox
News blastin' on the old thir
teen inch TV sittin’ on a shelf
and were still debatin' the
'Croney virus’ as Dipstick called
it, that being the only thing you
sec 24 hours a day on cable TV.
Dip said Lug always started
whistlin' the tune “I want a gal
just like the gal on Fox News”
everytime Fox & Friends came
on and agreed one’a the best
thangs ever happened to Fox
was when they sent of Shep
Smith a’packin’. They both ad
mitted that they had gotten
around to taking the panda-
dimic more serious after seem’
on th e news where a tiger in the
Bronx zoo had tested positive.
Dipstick was of the opinion
that said tiger would bring big
money over in Wuhan if they
had it skinned out and placed
on the auction block. Lugnut
offered that he'd rather eat a
raw tiger than a well-done bat
any day of the week. Iron ic when
you consider that both seemed
to subsist on a regular diet of
boxed donuts, Vienny sausages,
and Beanee-Weanees...with
crackers and plenty of Texas
Pete.
I was glad to see Dipstick wear
ing a face mask but wondered if
the two breathing holes he’d
poked into it kinda defeated
the purpose? Not to be out
done, Lugnut was wearm* those
fancy blue disposable gloves
while overhaulin' a carburetor
from a '59 Studebaker Lark. I
commended him on his anti
viral activities to which he re
plied, “Yep, got ‘em at Walmart
- they’uz lavin’ everwhere in
the parkin’ lot! Didn’t cost me
a penny!' 1 One thing about of
Lug, no one ever did claim that
he wasn’t the more frugal of the
pair.
Dipstick sed he was glad that
Crazy Bernie Sanders had seen
the light and ended his Quix
otic presidential bid. Lugnut
agreed and said the only hope
thatBiden had ofbcatirfTrump
was ifCOVID-19 could manage
to tank the U.S. economy be
fore November. Dip was of the
opinion that not eve n that would
do the trick for the Dems, that
Biden didn’t even remember
what state he was in on any
given day and that il I won’t be
but half as bad as Obama w'uz’’
wasn’t a winningcampaign slo
gan.
I left them arguin’ over who’d
eaten the last donut, glad that
they’d survived "hunker in your
bunker' for another two weeks
and assured them that I’d be
back to check on them if Gov.
Ralph Northam didn’t outlaw
gYages being open, Cbevrolets
being plentiful or not. Dipstick
said that he w p as glad that he
could still go to the ABC store
and go flshin 1 according to the
Guv even if he did make going
to church a crime. Lugnut said
that was a lib'ral for you, that
you had to get your priorities in
order and never, ever allow a
crisis go to waste,
