Lies Have Consequences

Lies Have Consequences

A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will not go free.  Many curry favor with a ruler and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts. The poor are shunned by all their relatives–how much more do their friends avoid them! Though the poor pursue them with pleading, they are nowhere to be found. The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes  understanding will soon prosper. A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will perish. Proverbs 19:5-9 NIV

For whatever reason, I was not able to blog yesterday on the WordPress site. I’m going to conclude that it is a browser problem since I’m here today–on another brower.

At any rate, anyone watching the latest news–unfolding minute-by-minute knows all the lies that have been told are about to be revealed and the consequences–will be dire. Thankful that a Special Prosecutor has finally been appointed and I can now sleep well at night–knowing truth will be revealed.

I think–when all is said and done–I’ll be vindicated in speaking truth when many chose not to think about what I said as “truth.” That’s okay. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but the facts–are just that–and no matter how we might wish to change them, it’s not going to happen. Lies have consequences–no matter who the liar is or what position they hold–the consequences will apply.

What’s worse–at least from the perch from which I sit–observing all that occurs–is that some people never learn. When trump was supposed to be giving a commencement speech, encouraging those graduating–he turns the attention from them–to him–to complain about how unfair everyone is to him–“especially the media.”

Here’s the problem with the media–they report events as they unfold–and news outlets who actually exercise integrity in their reporting–take pains to make sure what they’re reporting is based upon facts–not opinions and not an opportunity to “entertain” its viewers like #foxliestoday.

There’s nothing I or anyone else can do to change the facts, but trump can change the outcome by simply tweeting his resignation.

That said–let me share something that is not a lie–my testing the waters for a presidential run in 2020. Here’s the website: http://www.everydayamericans2020.com and on FaceBook fb.me/YesIAm2020.  I’m using every social media platform at my disposal to gather support and there’s even a link to a survey on my Facebook Page for Everyday Americans.
