“I LIKE THE DREAMS OF THE FUTURE BETTER THAN THE HISTORY OF THE PAST” - THOMAS JEFFERSON * On June 18, 1979, President Jimmy Carter and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev signed the Salt II agreement dealing with limitations and guidelines for nuclear weapons. However, due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan the following year, it never went into effect and Carter withdrew the U.S. from the agreement. * On June 17, 2015, 21-year-old Dylann Roof joined members of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., for a Bible study session before drawing a gun, telling the others that African Americans were "taking over the country," and killing nine people. Roof was arrested the following morning and eventually sentenced to death for the crime. * On June 19, 1821, Jesuit missionary Pierre-Jean De Smet met with Sioux leader Sitting Bull in present-day Montana in an attempt to convince local Native Americans to make peace with the United States. While the chief refused to personally sign a peace treaty, he sent one of his lesser chiefs to Fort Laramie, WY, to sign a pact in which the Sioux would allow white travel and settlement in specified areas.
WHERE IS OUR CHARITY IF WE SAY NOTHING OF CHRIST TO OTHERS? * On June 20, 1937, W2XBS (later WCBS-TV) televised the first TV operetta, "The Pirates of Penzance" by Gilbert and Sullivan. It became the pair's most popular creation. * On June 21, 2005, 80-year-old Edgar Ray Killen, a former KKK organizer, was declared guilty on three counts of manslaughter in the deaths of three civil rights workers in Philadelphia, MS, 41 years earlier, and sentenced to 60 years in prison. * On June 22, 1783, after hearing arguments in the case of the slave ship Zong, the Chief Justice of the King's Bench in London stated that a massacre of 142 captive Africans "was the same as if horses had been thrown overboard," as the actual question before the court was whether the "cargo" was covered by insurance rather than who was responsible for their deaths. The trial would galvanize the burgeoning movement to abolish slavery. * On June 23, 1940, Adolf Hitler surveyed notable sites in the then German-occupied French capital during his first and only visit to Paris, marking Napoleon's tomb among the spots to see and calling the trip "the greatest and finest moment of my life."

NEVER FORGET THAT YOU ARE, AT EVERY MOMENT, TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON GOD - C.S. LEWIS What’s Love Got To Do With It? An 85 year old pastor was scheduled to retire immediately following the last Sunday morning service of his long career. To make his last time in the pulpit memorable, he had convinced a young couple to, instead of eloping as they had planned, to allow him to surprise the congregation and join them in wedlock at the end of his last sermon. Not even a blurb in the bulletin. A good plan they all thought but, as the time approached to announce the nuptials, the old pastor could not remember the names of the two members whom he was to marry. He got around his dilemma this way: "Will those who want to get married now, please come stand before me?" Without any warning, six single ladies, four widows, and five single men stood, went to the aisle, and walked to the front. Groomed To Fail “Do you take this man for your wedded husband," the minister asked the nervous bride. "For better or worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or..." "Just a minute there, Pastor!" interrupted the groom. "If you don’t stop right now you'll talk her out of it!”

HEALTHCARE SCAMS It takes a lot of nerve to cook up a scheme to steal large amounts of money from government agencies such as the VA, especially since in the end the criminals get caught. One thief tried to convince the VA that he couldn't use his feet anymore. The scam got him a 100% disability rating (as well as the monthly benefits that went along with it), plus a specially adapted car. He was ratted out by several witnesses who saw him drive to a VA medical center, get out and walk around and sit in a wheelchair before rolling into the center. He was also seen by several others (who had known him a long time) walking around in a mall. Not only did he get sent to prison, but he has to pay back a large amount of money. And what about the eye doctor who took kickbacks for ordering unnecessary brain scans? His partner in crime was a medical diagnostics company. Not only did they generate fake diagnoses, but they pulled this on hundreds of patients and then sent out the bills. The money he stole ran into the millions, although he only made $100 or so for each fake diagnosis and brain scan he ordered. What would make a doctor, who'd been in practice for 40 years, think he could get away with a scheme like this? He'll have plenty of time to think about that in prison. The bigger the scam and the more moving parts, the more likely the criminals are to be caught. Such was the case with a guy who had his fingers in several types of health care fraud: offering and paying kickbacks to doctors who wrote fake test orders, compounded medicines and genetic cancer screenings (costing $10,000 each). The players included not only the doctors but pharmacies, labs and durable medical equipment companies. The perp's share of the $51 million cash haul for all these schemes was $10 million. He won't get to spend that in prison. (c) 2024 King Features Synd., Inc. GRAB YOUR DUMBELLA…IT'S STUPID OUT THERE “WE HAVE TO PRAY WITH OUR EYES ON GOD, NOT ON OUR DIFFICULTIES” - OSWALD CHAMBERS
