new words I learned today in an article

Kleptocracy

"Kleptocracy is a government whose corrupt leaders use political power to appropriate the wealth of their nation, typically by embezzling or misappropriating government funds at the expense of the wider population.

Thievocracy means literally the rule by thievery and is a term used synonymously to kleptocracy." Wikipedia


First time I ever saw these words  before. How funny!

Math 4:8-10

8  Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.a 9  And he said to him: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.” 10  Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship,b and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”

A good follow up scripture to back up Jesus words at Rev 4:11

  “You are worthy, Jehovah* our God, to receive the gloryt and the honoru and the power,v because you created all things,w and because of your will they came into existence and were created.”

I would expect to hear these used a lot on Fox News where they fit quite well.
