B.J. FLETCHER: Different rules for different individuals

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

First, for the ones that know me, I am truly an independent voter who votes policy not party. I am American, and I love the fact that our country was built with a strong Constitution and it was always and should always be about we the people.

Most taxes should come from the states. Most taxes are really a way for the government to actually take from hard-working Americans. Seniors paying school taxes, that’s local; we all pay a state tax. You should educate your system on the Constitution, not what your party tells you, but what it really represents: the American people.

Regardless of how you feel about President Trump, you should feel what’s happening to him and conservatives is very wrong. All three trials have been set for whatever allegations they have thrown at him during the time that other candidates will be hitting the trail to sell to the American people why they want to hold the most powerful office in the world.

Yet judges know exactly what they are doing. Americans know what they are doing. Even the ones that hate Trump know. They are interfering in the process of how America votes.

Now I hear about the charges that have been brought against President Biden. His family is one matter, our president is another. Whistleblowers had no reason to come forward. And yet, knowing they were going to be persecuted for their truths, they just simply wanted to do the right thing.

It’s up to you who and what you choose to believe. But if you are willing to settle for all of our elected officials getting treated with two different rules, shame on you. Don’t complain when your child gets bullied, or your straight-A student gets knocked out of a scholarship so it can be given to someone who didn’t earn it, but it’s “only fair.”

Don’t complain when the Supreme Court, the law of the land, makes decisions, and then our people in Washington try to do things their own way. Don’t ask why your child can’t get a job after school because they were being dummied down and other countries are running our country.

The list could go on and on, but by now you should get the picture. The moral of this message is “Do for one what you do for all.” Because if the rich and powerful continue with these policies that are coming from Washington, and you choose to put your fingers in your ears or close your eyes, then I will tell you one thing. You won’t ever have to worry about being rich and powerful. Because they are looking for every way in the world to get everything we have.

I truly hope you are at peace because God’s in your life, because I am here to tell you, government is not going to save you, only Jesus can.
