The splinter and the log

In Luke 6:22 Jesus asks, "How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank from your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye."

This past weekend the report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller was released indicating that after 22 months and nearly $30 million he found nothing that indicated that President Trump had colluded with the Russians to steal the 2016 election. This despite claims made by some Democrats that they had direct evidence that such collusion occurred. Even last night one reportedly said he still believes there is "significant evidence of collusion." An investigation that included around 500 witnesses and over 2,800 subpoenas found nothing but that will not silence nor satisfy congressional Democrats, the liberal media and those darlings in the entertainment industry who know it all. Much more money and time will be wasted by Congress in continual hearings trying to prove something that did not happen.

Let's be honest. This is all about the 2020 election. Congressional Democrats are more interested in trying to win the next election than in governing our nation. Their "Chosen One" was defeated to the amazement of all by an outsider. Despite every effort to steal the election, Miss Hillary lost. The only reason any future investigation into Russian collusion will occur is to keep this before the public in hopes of winning in 2020.

I have a suggestion. Why not spend a little time investigating members of Congress? Let's see if we can understand how people making Congressional salaries can become multi-millionaires within a short period of time. Let's look into their sources of income, their foundations, and the amount of work they actually do to better America. Let's investigate the Clintons with the same thoroughness President Trump was investigated and see what comes out.

I would never claim the president is perfect. Far from it. But, like many Americans, I'm weary of those with logs in their own eyes screaming about the specks in the eyes of others. Jesus calls such people hypocrites, and that is exactly what these people are.

I read where Mike Huckabee said that those who claim they have direct evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians, should either present that evidence, under oath, or shut up. I suspect they will do neither. I do have to wonder, since they made that statement, why were they not subpoenaed to present that evidence to Mueller and the FBI. I would think that people claiming to have such evidence should have been the first ones contacted.

Again, it's interesting to see the parallels between the political world and the church world. I often found the ones who complained the most about the sins of others had just as many, if not more, in their own lives. Those who went around pointing fingers at everyone else had even more pointing against them.
