3 mismanaged STATES

 Proverbs 29:2

King James Version

2 When the righteous are in authority, 

the people rejoice: 

but when the wicked beareth rule, 

the people mourn.


Thanks to veteran journalist of 50 years, Bill O'Reilly, I got an idea for this article.

He said, California, New York, and Illinois were the "most mismanaged in the union".

Of course, SPIRIT got my funny brain going.

We came up with "fun" names for these states.

Which seemed to describe them pretty much.

And a teeny-weeny look at their "politics".

Here goes:


KALI-fornia

That reminds us of the blue, Hindu goddess, "Kali", with the scary angry face, lots of arms, and clutching a severed head.

She's associated with "time, death and destruction".

As born again, I know of only one character who represents that -- CHRIST's enemy.

You've also heard about the wildfires from 7 January this year. 

Where we discovered how shockingly mismanaged CA is.

No wonder it's on top of O'Reilly's list.

I can imagine Trump turning "red", as he wants to choke CA's failed Democratic government, until they turn "blue".

Except, they're already blue.


New YUCK

If this is second in O'Reilly's "mismanaged" list, they deserve a look:

"As of April 2016, the Democrats represented a plurality of voters in the State of New York, constituting more than twice as many registered voters as any other political party affiliation or lack thereof.[291] No Republican presidential candidate has won over New York State since Ronald Reagan's landslide victory in 1984."

-- "New York politics"


Didn't Trump like NY once?

"From 1983 until 2019, Trump's primary residence was the three-level penthouse on the top floors of Trump Tower; in 2019, he declared Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, to be his primary residence."

-- "Residences of Donald Trump"


Oh, he sought the "warmer" climate.

And waters.

'Nuf said.


ILL-annoy

Third in O'Reilly's list, let's have a look:

"In modern national and state politics, Illinois is a Democratic stronghold.[206] Historically, Illinois was a political swing state, with near-parity existing between the Republican and the Democratic parties. However, in recent elections, the Democratic Party has gained ground, and Illinois has come to be seen as a solid "blue" state in both presidential and congressional campaigns.

-- "Party balance"


"Several families from Illinois have played particularly prominent roles in politics, in both the Republican Party earlier in the state's history but more recently the Democratic Party, gaining both statewide and national fame."

-- "Political families"


That figures.

All three states are Dems.

If you say, "His lips turned blue", that means lack of oxygen.

If you say "red-blooded", the person is full of life, and vigor.

CA, NY, and ILL are "blue".

They'll be needing Trump's "resuscitating" qualities.

Even better than that, they could use the BLOOD of the LAMB, from the LORD JESUS.


Of course, they'll resist with everything they've got.

But that can be healthy.

The angrier they get, the "redder" they'll become.

And that's a good sign.

That will make the oxygen flow.
