Always whining and complaining, always blaming the rich instead of cutting out the free stuff now he plans on driving out the money he wants...

"Turning to the city’s finances, Mamdani didn’t hold back in painting a grim picture of a “serious fiscal crisis” with a massive deficit. He’s pointing fingers at past leadership, particularly former Mayor Eric Adams, for underfunding essential services like rental aid and special education. It’s a mess he claims was handed to him like a “poisoned chalice.”

But Mamdani’s blame game doesn’t stop there—he’s also targeting former Gov. Andrew Cuomo for allegedly draining city resources over years of state-level mismanagement. He argues New Yorkers foot over half the state’s revenue but get far less in return. It’s a compelling statistic, but is it the full story?

“The result is a stunning fiscal imbalance,” Mamdani declared, emphasizing the disparity in state funding. While the numbers sound damning, critics might argue the city’s own spending habits deserve scrutiny before pinning everything on Albany. After all, accountability starts at home.
Tax Hikes on the Wealthy Proposed

Mamdani’s solution to this financial quagmire is to hike taxes on the top 1% and big corporations, framing it as a moral necessity. He’s betting that squeezing the rich will plug a $12 billion hole and rebuild the city stronger. But will this drive away the very job creators and investors who keep the Big Apple’s economy humming?

Rich Azzopardi, a spokesperson for Cuomo, fired back with a scathing rebuttal, defending the former governor’s record. “Andrew Cuomo inherited an $11 billion deficit when he first took office and managed to close it through hard work and fiscal discipline—words that just aren’t in Mamdani’s vocabulary,” Azzopardi quipped. It’s a sharp reminder that not everyone buys Mamdani’s narrative of victimhood."

When Moses and Israel emerged safely from the Red Sea, having traveled through it on dry land, and having seen the Egyptians consumed by the sea returning to its place over that dry land, that sang a song to the Lord. That sang of His glory. They sang of His power. They sang of His salvation. They sang of who God is and what He does.

When we gather, we are encouraged by Scripture to do likewise. We are instructed to speak to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs (Eph. 5:19). We are told that by these psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs we should be teaching and admonishing one another (Col. 3:16). We are exhorted to sing with thankfulness in our hearts to God (Eph. 5:20, Col. 3:16).

Too many sing shallow, self-centered song supposing it to be “worship,” and much of it is often at odds with Scripture. This should never be!

Our songs should be deep, rich in their content, full of praise and wonder, focused on and directed toward our God and Father who loves us and watches over us.

This is how Israel sang upon their Exodus from Egypt. This is the manner in which David authored the Psalms he wrote. As David exclaims, “I will sing praises to You” (Ps. 138:`), and that the kings of the earth would “sing of the ways of the Lord” (Psalm. 138:5).

Are you singing of the ways of the Lord? Do you give thanks and praise Him with your voice, making a joyful noise to God (Ps. 66:1, 98:4)?

Let us sing to Him always, as did Moses and Israel, as did David, remembering, as the hymnist wrote (based on Lam. 3:22-23):

Great is thy faithfulness,
Great is thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed thy hand hast provided;
Great is thy faithfulness,
Lord unto me.

"They shall sing in the ways of the Lord." Psalm 138:5

The time when Christians begin to sing in the ways of the Lord is when they first lose their burden at the foot of the Cross. Not even the songs of the angels seem so sweet as the first song of rapture which gushes from the inmost soul of the forgiven child of God. You know how John Bunyan describes it. He says when poor Pilgrim lost his burden at the Cross, he gave three great leaps, and went on his way singing:

"Blest Cross! blest Sepulchre! blest rather be
The Man that there was put to shame for me!"

Believer, do you recollect the day when your fetters fell off? Do you remember the place when Jesus met you, and said, "I have loved thee with an everlasting love; I have blotted out as a cloud thy transgressions, and as a thick cloud thy sins; they shall not be mentioned against thee any more for ever." Oh! what a sweet season is that when Jesus takes away the pain of sin. When the Lord first pardoned my sin, I was so joyous that I could scarce refrain from dancing. I thought on my road home from the house where I had been set at liberty, that I must tell the stones in the street the story of my deliverance. So full was my soul of joy, that I wanted to tell every snow-flake that was falling from heaven of the wondrous love of Jesus, who had blotted out the sins of one of the chief of rebels. But it is not only at the commencement of the Christian life that believers have reason for song; as long as they live they discover cause to sing in the ways of the Lord, and their experience of His constant lovingkindness leads them to say, "I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth." See to it, brother, that thou magnifiest the Lord this day.

"Long as we tread this desert land,
New mercies shall new songs demand."

Holiness in the Old Testament or Hebrew Scriptures signifies being "set apart" for God, rooted in His divine nature as perfectly pure and unique. It is a central theme, especially in Leviticus 11:44, 19:2, and 20:26, commanding Israel to be holy because God is holy. This holiness demanded separation from sin and pagan practices.

It’s caused a lot of problems for Israel and the a Jewish people in general. Antisemitism rose because of this very thing. Get away from us - you all don’t belong here.

Strange way of rejecting what the Jews were called to portray to the rest of the peoples
- nations. Monotheism grounded in a relationship with the only One and True G-d - Creator - Redeemer.

TADA - drum roll - religions enter the world and created even more division and exclusiveness, because that’s what humans do. Now the Jews can be seen and treated as the bad guys.

Jews are seen as flawed as everyone else is so how dare they set themselves apart from the rest of us. If you all are so holy - chosen - then why are you still here?

It can be missed in the document chronicling the history of Israel and the Jews in general theirs, our - human - failings - failings of all humanity are mirrored in that Book along with hope and forgiveness and great stories of victory.

When Yeshua came He destroyed “religion” - The letter of the Law without the Spirit of the Law. Yet religious people pick it up again and use it to cause divisions, condemnations and arguments. We are just funny people that way. We decide who can be forgiven and who cannot so we are justified in who we persecute.

Good morning everyone - lovely people. I wish you all the best too. To
continue on my blog about the “fear of G-d” I have gleaned from an old book by a Rabbi Nilton Bonder titled
“The Kabbalah of Envy - Transforming Hatred, Anger, and Other Negative Emotions.” Please do not be thrown off by the word Kabbalah. It simply means to dig into hidden meanings and research them out - not the magical red string thinking heard about in the media which is a perversion of the true Kabbalah type commentary on Biblical truths. It’s not some evil abstraction out to get you. It’s an old Hebrew word referring to wisdom that comes with spiritual maturity. This book has been a tough read not translated from the Hebrew comfortably for English speakers. I have gleaned some wonderful Faith ideas from it. So here goes - more on the subject of”Fear of G-d.” And it’s long. Get what you like and discard the rest.

The term “fear of G-d” is not about terror. It’s about having a great intimacy with G-d.
When we are influenced by abstract, subtle principles we can detach ourselves from what we observe in the obvious that doesn’t add up to what we know about Faith and G-d.
What abstract and subtle principles? The causes and effects captured in the term karma, the universal principle of cause and effect, where every action, thought, and word (the cause) creates consequences (the effect) that eventually return to the doer, shaping their destiny. As Scripture states: the principle of sowing and reaping, where actions (causes) directly produce consequences (effects), such as in Galatians 6:7 (“whatever a man sows, that he will also reap”).

To arrive at the “fear of G-d” we need to leave the cult of the god of rewards, the god of necessary, god of power, god of personal veneration (which can be a romanticized element of belief.)
All of that adds up to a symbolic perception of G-d - the idea that things represent other things.
What was the danger of an “idol”? Attributing to “a thing” the power to bless or curse and so veneration of the “thing” was necessary. The nations around Israel in its beginning made things they could see and name that represented what was believed to be their “god.” So Israel was warned - “Do not adopt the practices of the peoples around you.”

We must cast off the fear of others, fear of self, fear of pain and allow ourselves to fear only that which is possible to fear. Fears are not paralyzing emotions, but spur us on to action - mobilizing.

That mobilizing - we do what we know to do that is right. As Scripture tells us how to Love G-d - that first commandment. “If you love Me you will obey Me”
That is the beginning of developing a great intimacy with G-d and is the crown of wisdom.
To obey is becomes another conundrum because our emotions direct us to do what benefits us the most. So we rationalize what we know, “to do” with what we feel should be done for immediate gain.

This shows us where humility is the foundation to grasping the “fear of G-d that becomes wisdom - it’s ankle.
Humility is a deep internalization of our capacity to transform spirituality into a skill that becomes a way of life.
We can live the “Fear of G-d” without a sense of wisdom or any proud awareness of being wise.

To become wise is to be able to erase the fool within us. To become humble is to erase the traces of any wickedness in ourselves. Eliminate jealousy which opens the dimension of envy, aptly described as one of the 7 “deadly sins.” Proverbs 22:4 “The effect of humility is fear of the Lord, wealth, honor, and life.”

To me the “fear of G-d” is a comforting emotion. It’s comforting to know I don’t have to be in control of the world. I don’t have to fear the actions of others because SomeOne bigger than me knows the end of everything from its beginning. And that SomeOne all knowing, tells me to rest in what that end will be even when I don’t understand all the steps leading up to it that might cause me to suffer. Accepting discomfort is necessary to kill “the old man” within us and brings about the realization of a real joy in serving our Beloved Lord. That’s possible to experience even in the face of seeing so much ungodliness in the world. What little bit I can do in the way of right action and prayer is going to have a positive effect I may not see. That just means SomeOne wiser than me sees it and tells me to keep on truck’en on that path of holiness that is a quiet rebellion to any evil inclination.
Holiness - another word we have a hard time relating to because of the enemy out to shame us!
Six characteristics of holiness often cited include humility, love, obedience, self-control (temperance), faithfulness, and purity of heart, reflecting a life SET APART for God,

JEREMIAH
CHAPTER .36
VS 17-32

17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?

18 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.

19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.

20 And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.

21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.

22 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.

23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.

24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

25 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.

26 But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the LORD hid them.

27 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

28 Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.

29 And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?

30 Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.

31 And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.

32 Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words.

Jeremiah
Chapter 33

1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

2 Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name;

3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

4 For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;

5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.

6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.

8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

9 And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.

10 Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,

11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.

12 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.

13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the LORD.

14 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.

17 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.

19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,

20 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

23 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,

24 Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

25 Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

Did you know that there was a time when no income taxes were collected, how and why that changed?

In this video, you will learn that the Constitution had once prohibited the collection of income taxes (except under certain circumstances),

that the government’s source of revenue came by way of tariffs and excise taxes (that taxes on certain goods and services),

that the Northern states favored tariffs whereas the southern states did not and which was one of the reasons why South Carolina threatened to secede from the union,

the origins of critical theory and what it is,

that excessive taxation and inflation are weaponized against businesses,

that it was German immigrants who had pushed for an income tax on the wealthy,

that the first attempt to implement an income tax was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court; the court then warning that income taxes could lead to economic oppression and abuses,

that it was Theodore Roosevelt who had proposed the inheritance tax which was then followed by the corporate tax proposed and implemented under President William Taft,

that it was President Woodrow Wilson who abolished tariffs and replaced it with an income tax which at first was imposed upon the wealthy before being imposed upon all economic classes,

the true motivations for why the wealthy (not all wealthy of course) began charitable foundations,
that it was the Church that was once in charge of providing social services, what those social services were, and how the government came to take over the providing of those social services,

that it was the income tax that made it easier for socialistic policies and programs to be enacted and implemented,

and that it was the avoidance of income taxes that drove corporations and industrialists to outsource their operations to foreign countries.

Several reason why we need to abolish the income tax.

#KevinOLeary Just Said the Quiet Part Out Loud; #Elites are Filtering Their #Blood Overseas - Billionaire Kevin O’Leary was filmed in #Dubai casually describing a procedure where nearly five meters of blood are drained from the body, run through a dialysis-style machine, #ozonated, #oxygenated, then pumped back in. This wasn’t an experiment. This wasn’t a one time test. This was a repeatable, scheduled procedure he says he does every time he’s in the #UAE. Mr. Wonderful openly says it’s his fourth time. He openly says he blocks off half a day just to do it. And he openly says the effects are noticeable almost immediately. This procedure isn’t #FDA approved. And it isn’t explained on mainstream medical shows Americans are told to trust. Yet the same class of people urging the public to “follow the science” are quietly flying overseas to filter their own blood - then walking out saying they feel incredible. First it was Tijuana.

Psalm 55 David composes this Psalm upon escaping Jerusalem in the face of the slanderers. A past friend betrayed him and breached their covenant .- Talk about the signs of our times this Psalm describes what we are seeing in unlawful protests with people intent on harming other Americans caring out a mandate directed by our laws and our Constitution.
“I am panic -stricken as I make my complaint. I shudder at how the enemy shouts, at how the wicked oppress.”
“For I see violence and fighting in the city. Day and night they go about its walls, within are malice and mischief. Ruin is rife within it, oppression and fraud never leave its streets”
“Unload your burden on Adonai,
And He will sustain you. He will never permit the righteous to be removed.”
“Those men, so bloodthirsty and treacherous will not live out half their days.”
“For my part, Adonai, I put my trust in You.”
We know the US has enemies and yet something is a miss when fellow citizens rage against truth. There is more at work than just being upset about arrests. My prayer, for one, is the roots will be exposed. Truth cannot be done away with. In the end Truth will win. Only G-d can change the hearts of others. The best we can do is pray for them and claim the truth will bring the consequences needed to set the haters free.
