    Bible burning

    This is the beginning of persecution. Now it's burning Bibles by demonically possessed rioters in Portland. I would not be surprised if the next move is declaring the Bible to be racist white supremacist hate language to be banned. After that, Christian churches will lose their tax exempt status. Christians are already being arrested for singing in church white rioters and looters are ignored or released without bond. When will we start being arrested for worshipping a white supremacist God? What would have happened if the Portland thugs burned Q'ran's? God help us if the godless left wins in November.

    Food For Thought

    More Trump Derangement Syndrome. President Trump has used markedly less military power than any recent president, including the most recent president. So, he has power. That is why you choose wisely who your president is going to be. Reagan may have been showing cognitive decline at the end of his presidency, but one person running for president is showing serious cognitive issues and he hasn't even been elected yet!

    Signs of the End: Are the Signs Really Signs?

    When I was eight years old, I stood with my parents in front of our home and watched Sputnik (the first man-made satellite of earth) move with surprising speed across the night sky. Shortly after that an earnest fellow believer declared, “God will never let man land on the moon, Jesus will come first.” For […] The post Signs of the End: Are the Signs Really Signs? appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog.

    5 Lesser-Know Interesting Facts About Lucille Ball On August 6, 1911, Lucille Desiree Ball, one of America’s most famous redheads and beloved comic actresses, was born near Jamestown, New York. Here are five lesser-known facts about Lucille Ball... She Was Registered With The Communist Party As reported by The Los Angeles Times in 1953, Ball was once connected to the Communist Party. Apparently, it was a “short association” in 1936, but her family was investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee. Ball explained her connection by saying the only reason she registered as a Communist was to please her grandfather, Fred Hunt, a Socialist. “Star Trek” Wouldn’t Have Existed Without Her If it were not for Lucy, there would be no Star Trek today,” former studio executive Ed Holly told Desilu historian Coyne Steven Sanders. CBS wasn’t interested in “Star Trek,” but Ball, who was talented at spotting a new show that would appeal to large numbers of viewers, overruled the decision and had the pilot produced. The initial pilot bombed, so a second pilot was made and funded by Ball that starred William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk. Star Trek ended up making the 1966 fall TV schedule. Ball’s Pregnancy Was the First on Television As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, she also made headlines by becoming the first pregnant woman to play a pregnant woman on TV. Season 2 of “I Love Lucy” was a first on television because Lucille Ball was pregnant with Desi Arnaz Jr and it was written into the script. If network execs hadn’t agreed to it, the show might have been canceled or suspended until she had her baby. The birth of her own baby coincided with Lucy Ricardo’s, and about 44 million viewers tuned in to watch. She and Her Husband Were Television’s First Interracial Couple Kathleen Brady, who wrote a popular book about Lucille Ball, said the network executives and Philip Morris, the sponsor, wanted her to star in her own show but had no interest in her husband, Desi. Brady said. “They said that the American public would not accept Desi as the husband of a red-blooded American girl.” However, Ball defended Arnaz, and according to Brady, she told CBS that they’d have to either cast them both or neither of them. She Was The First Woman to Run a Major Production Company Following Ball’s divorce from Desi Arnaz in 1960, she bought out Arnaz’s shares of Desilu for $2.5 million, making her the first female CEO of a major production company. Per the outlet, she later sold her Desilu shares to Paramount Studios for $17 million.

    5 Things You Probably Didn't Know About "Risky Business" On August 5, 1983, the film Risky Business, starring an 18-year-old Tom Cruise opened in theaters across the country. Here are five things you probably didn't know about the 80s classic "Risky Business"... The Original Movie Title Was "White Boys Off the Lake" Because Risky Business takes place next to Lake Michigan, it was almost given a completely different title, as confirmed by its writer and director Paul Brickman.“The working title was White Boys off the Lake,” Brickman has been quoted as saying. “I think the studio rejected that because it sounded like an off-Broadway play. So we started doing word association to come up with a new title.” The Director Wasn’t That Impressed With Tom Cruise Cruise was working in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on The Outsiders when he was called to audition for the role of Joel in Risky Business. He showed up at the office with a chipped tooth, greasy hair, and sporting a jean jacket and Oklahoma accent, so director Paul Brickman wasn’t impressed. Cruise said he went for a second audition with Rebecca De Mornay, and it wasn’t that good, but Brickman believed he could still perform in the role. The Underwear Scene Was Improvised In what became the movie’s most iconic moment, Cruise dances to “Old Time Rock and Roll” in his underwear, using a candlestick holder as his microphone. Filmed in Skokie, Illinois, in a schoolhouse, Cruise ad-libbed the entire scene, sliding across the floor in his socks with his collar turned up and dancing around the room. In the script, it only said: “Joel dances in underwear through the house.” Tom Cruise And Rebecca De Mornay Dated in Real Life Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay began dating during the movie’s production, which made for a slightly awkward scenario.This was because Harry Dean Stanton was also starring in the movie, and he and De Mornay had previously been romantically involved after meeting during filming of 1981’s One from the Heart. The long-distance relationship between Cruise and De Mornay dissolved some time after Cruise shot the film Legend, in London, and before he went off to film Top Gun. The Movie Caused Sales of Ray-Ban Wayfarers to Increase by 2,000 Percent Back in the early '80s, Ray-Ban sales were poor and the company was about to discontinue Wayfarers. The brand needed a life raft. And one came…in the form of a pants-free Tom Cruise. When Risky Business came out in 1983, Tom Cruise and his iconic Wayfarers rescued the Ray-Ban brand. After the release of Risky Business, Wayfarer sales rocketed by some 2,000 percent, confirming the power of Tom Cruise.
