"God Chooses the Foolish Things"
One of the most brilliant and well-educated men of the 1st century wrote this.
My faith is not in my intellect, my strength, nor my influence. If I place my confidence in these I will fail.
This is God's battle, not mine. And it must remain that way, or I will fail.
I am a mere stone in His sling.
I am a leaf on the river.
O Lord, hear my prayer.

"Calvinism vs Arminianism"
My older son and I spent over an hour tonight debating the state of the church. Our discussion branched through many topics and debates.
At one point I said, "Please note that I made the strongest argument for that position that I could, even though I do not espouse it."
He agreed, and we relished together the adventure of some challenging ideas. A nuanced position is the product of a careful and intellectually honest examination of differing points of view.
My job as his father is not to tell what to think, but to nurture his ability to think.
He is preparing to be a minister. What a challenge he faces, as God brings about a revival and the church redefines itself in that context.
He is going to need these faculties.
"O Lord, please fill my son Daniel with your Spirit, and give him wisdom and as he prepares to serve your Church in the coming years. Amen."

"Gifts"
Discover your gifts, embrace them, and deploy them.
We need everyone and every type of person in this fight.
We need Jews and Gentiles, religious and secular, simple and profound, speakers and organizers, teachers and learners, mathematicians and janitors.
Everyone.
I was a speaker at an event recently where a meal was served beforehand. One women cooked an amazing meal for 150 attendees.
Afterward, I returned to retrieve my things, and there was the same lady mopping the kitchen floor.
I was having recess that night. That amazing woman worked her butt off all day.
She puts me to shame. And I told her so.
E Pluribus Unum.

"2019 Census"
I was recently criticized by someone who found different numbers from the US Census than I have been reporting. A couple of points:
a) They were using the current census values. But the 2019 census was the most recent and accurate national estimate available at the time of the 2020 election, which is why I downloaded that whole set and consistently use those values in my analyses;
b) I interpolate the 2019 census values to obtain my values (I've posted a video explaining how I do this on my Rumble channel);
c) In all my work I use the interpolated 2019 values to estimate the 18yrs and older population at the time of the election. BUT, as I showed in my PA analysis, not everyone older than 18 is eligible to vote. In PA04, I had to subtract about 4% to account for ineligibles, such as felons, foreigners, and those legally incompetent to vote. So actually, I am giving the cheaters some extra room... about three to four percent.
How much does this matter, really? Not much. If a county was 102% registered or 98% registered, the problem is still the same. Canvassing shows that in actuality, only sixty to seventy percent of the eligible population are registered.
Don't get distracted by spurious arguments. Don't allow them to distract you from the fact that they are artificially inflating the voter roles and stuffing phantom ballots. Whether it's 10,000 or 10,100 ballots is irrelevant to the argument. The 2020 general election was not free and fair.

“The Hypocrite Oath”
A patriot friend had to take her mother to the hospital recently because she was losing the battle with Covid, and her oxygen level was down to 70%. Her low O2 was the first thing she told the folks at the hospital.
What’s the first thing they did at the hospital?
They put a mask on her.
“You mean, like an oxygen mask?” I asked.
“No. Like a surgical mask.” She replied.
I have lost so much respect for the medical profession. It used to be full of above-average intelligence people who actually meant it when they took the Hippocratic oath.
Another corrupted institution.
How do you destroy a free country? From the inside out.

"Ronald Reagan and Humor"
One of the attributes I especially admired about Ronald Reagan was his ability to deflect criticisms. They called him the "Teflon President."
He often skillfully used humor to do this.
For example, during the 1984 campaign his opponent was bringing attention to the fact that Reagan was aging. Reagan dispatched with this potential criticism handily,
"I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience."

"Politicians Don't Start Parades, They Join Them."
I was on an important call this morning and recalled this slide from my talks. It may be the most important lesson of the year.
Because, once again, the grassroots is delivering.
Legislators all across the country are preparing legislative actions because their constituents have started the parade.
Join the parade. Or start one.
And make it loud. And so annoying that you can't be ignored.
We're winning.

"Bobby Piton"
Because of all the recent infighting falderol, the situation with Bobby Piton has reared its ugly head again. Let's set the record straight.
For most of 2021, Bobby was accusing me of being a traitor to the country and stealing his work. He posted many scathing comments on his pages. I typically ignore such silliness, but I did offer him a chance to redeem himself. All he had to do was to delete the comments, then we could have a discussion to clarify things. He never did.
Later, he repented of his poor behavior, in public, in a recorded interview with Professor Clements. Later also in person to me in October, backstage at an event in Salt Lake City.
Of course, I forgive him. We took a photo together shaking hands. Water under the bridge. I haven't seen or heard from him since.
The facts are that I only even became aware of Bobby's work after many months of my own work. As of now, I have still never examined any of his work myself, only heard mention of it.
This deliberate approach is part of my scientific controls; the less I know about other people's work, the more my mind is open to letting the data guide my thinking. I try to protect my creativity, and I don't want to bias my analyses.
Last I heard, Bobby was running for public office. I wish him well.

"Lesson Re-Learned"
As I contemplate the end of 2021, my mind keeps reviewing the lessons that I have learned.
The hardest lesson for me, the one I seem to keep re-learning, is that it doesn't matter how abundant are the data, brilliant the analyses, or lucid the explanations. In the end, it is the people that matter.
The relationships matter.
The movement matters.
That is why our country works best when We the People are running it. Not when we are relying upon some institution, or delegated the responsibility to someone else. But when we are running it with our own hands. With our own hearts and minds. Each of us stepping up and doing our own part.
In the end, I believe that this is why Trump had to step aside, despite knowing full well that the election was rife with fraud.
We the People were not up to the task.
Well, we've been taken to the woodshed. And I think the spanking we are receiving is working.
We the People are finally waking up, after decades of complacency.
And not a moment too soon.
