Praise God!
My how things have changed from Monday, November 4, 2024 to Wednesday November 6, 2024! In 48 hours, more or less, God has rescued
our nation – pulling us from the brink of destruction and setting us on a path to restoration. Let’s talk about all that.
For newcomers to this blog or those with short memories, I’ll say it again: Donald J. Trump cannot and will not save our nation. He does not have that kind of power or authority. That is not how our nation rolls.
Some may whine and moan about my stating that it was GOD who saved our nation. Did God cast a single vote? No. Of course He didn’t. However His hand has been over our nation and surrounding us. All the efforts the globalists put forth to cheat and steal their way to dominating our nation came up short. Do not think for a moment they did not try – that they failed to deploy every trick in their book because they did just that. They were thwarted. It was God who mobilized the masses to move the needle enough to give Trump a landslide – an unquestionable victory too big to rig. It was God who opened the eyes of so many to see past the rhetoric and the outright lies of the demon hoard. Don’t get me wrong – not everybody who voted for Kamala Harris is evil – far from it. In fact most who voted for her are truly good and decent Americans. They are good people but they have been deceived – lured by the very goodness of their hearts to embrace those globalist fallacies that only bestow power upon a select few. Don’t hate them. Pray for them instead. It is here where our work must begin. More on this in a bit.
First let me explain what I meant by saying the battle for our nation is far from over. We only need to look back eight years to 2016 to see where I’m coming from . I remember the elation, the vindication, yea the very joy of that moment when it became clear Trump had actually defeated Hillary Clinton. We can look back on what Trump accomplished during his first term in office. Those accomplishments were significant and many. Never forget he had to fight for every win and fight hard. If the vicious poison spewing from the mouths of the democrats wasn’t enough – he had to fight many in his own party – the “Never Trumpers” and those silent swamp rats who slunk around beneath the surface of the DC Swamp. Guess what? Many of them are still slinking around.
Things should be different this time around. WE the People sent a strong message to the “ruling elite” – a mandate if you will. They are NOT about to lie down or scurry away! They fully believe they are our betters. They fully believe they can and should make our decisions for us, that we are not capable of choosing our own path. They are the climate change radicals, the gun control freaks, the green brigade – they will not back down voluntarily. The fact is they are not the enemy. As is most of those who voted for Harris, the rank and file, the everyday majority have been conned into believing the answer to their concerns is rooted in placing our trust in a selected few – selected not by them but by the elites who pull the strings. Who IS the enemy?
The enemy – our common enemy – are those elusive few who feed the swamp creatures. They feed them with the crumbs that fall off the table. The table buckles under the weight of the Federal Budget where they pile up our tax dollars along with the debt they’ve saddled us with. They’ve made us their slaves – requiring their pound of flesh out of every dollar our labor earns, every dollar we spend from those earnings, every dollar we save, and every dollar we invest. They reap the lion’s share of our sweat and tears while throwing us the bones. The crumbs are the reward to those who dwell in the swamp. Don not be fooled by the term “crumbs” for they are many and the creatures who feed on them relatively few so while they may reek from the stink of their oppression of us citizens, they grow fat from their booty.
How do we root out this enemy? Follow the money and cut off their food supply. Their greed is their Achilles heel. They are addicted to the money they leech and from the power they’ve usurped. Thus they are exposed – too fat from their gluttony to run far or fast. This does not mean they will be easy to be rid of they are fast and they have vast resources – entire arms of our own government to fight back with. Their tentacles wrap around the very centers of power in our nation’s capitol – extending into our own Senate and House of Representatives. This is how they’ve embedded themselves do deeply into the very bowels of our nation’s business and why they will not be so easily eradicated.
This is also why WE the People cannot let up – why we must stay diligent and force the hand of Congress. We’ve sent them a message – a strong one – enough is enough. Now we need to see it through by make our wishes very clear – by forcing their hand. It does not matter who they’ve been working for. They work for us now. They answer to us. It is our job to hold their feet to the fire – to hold them accountable to US.
This congress has two years to show whom they answer to. Those who choose to bow to the Washington power brokers will face stark reality and the wrath of their constituents. Those who actually represent those whom they were elected to serve will be rewarded. It’s that simple. But it is up to US – WE the PEOPLE to make this happen.
Donald J. Trump will lead the way. He has demonstrated a great deal of empathy and care for our nation but he cannot do this alone. He needs US.
He needs our backing as well as our direction and our support. By the grace of ALMIGHTY GOD, we’ve been granted another chance – another opportunity to govern ourselves via our constitutional republic. Now it is time to take the next step – to take up the reins of power – our birthright to steer our nation into a new era of peace and prosperity.
These things directly apply to every citizen of our nation. Beyond this I’ll take a moment to address my Christian siblings.
Our nation nearly crumbled under the weight of sin and decadence. If you claim Christ, you cannot dodge nor hide from your complicity. Trust me on this – these words apply every bit to myself as well as you. I have repented myself and I continue to seek how I can turn from my own wicked ways and turn back to God.
While God Almighty did indeed establish this nation – granting us citizens by birth or naturalization the right to govern ourselves – we have been remiss in accepting our duty and responsibility to do exactly that – be self-governing citizens. All of us, regardless of our beliefs – Christian or not – are guilty of this. As Christians we have strayed far beyond this because our own duties – our own commitment when we accepted Christ as Lord and Savior is greater.
Within our own ranks we have sinned greatly. In this last election much “todo” has been made about the question of abortion. How many of my brethren in Christ see past this misdirection? Yes. Misdirection. Ask yourself – what is the underlying problem of abortion? WHY are so many women becoming pregnant with unwanted babies to begin with? Why isn’t divorce among Christians almost unheard of? Why are we not outraged when some churches allow drag queens to strut down the aisles of a house of God during a “worship service”? Whom do they worship?
Can you see the bigger problem here? This nation has not succumbed to our influence, we Christians have been overrun by theirs. Such should not be so. Are these Christians – our brothers and sisters in Christ demonstrating the love of God or are they putting stumblingblocks in the way?
For myself, I cannot tell you how many times someone has said to me anyone who voted for Harris cannot rightfully call themselves a Christian. I disagree. As an example I’ll invoke the “beer test”.
Years ago someone asked a man of God whether someone could drink alcohol and still be a Christian. He said, I don’t know let’s find out. I’m a Christian. Let me take a sip of beer. Hmmm. Okay, Well, I’m still a Christian so yes, one can drink a beer and still be a Christian.
The point is taking a sip of beer or pulling the “wrong” lever in an election does not negate the price Christ paid for our sins. Nor is our salvation conditional on such things. It is just not. As I pointed out about these individuals, these Christians, and yes, even those who applauded the drag queens, are not inherently evil. I contend they are unlearned and in error. We are all guilty of this to differing degrees. “For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23
If we really want to turn our nation around – to truly become the powerhouse God meant us to be, we must first look to ourselves. We must examine our relationship with God and with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We need to be able to discern the difference between justice and vengeance. We need to discern between God’s love and indulgence. We need to discern between forgiveness and accountability. We need to discern between right and wrong.
Those who voted for Harris and her ilk need to be shown there are other ways, better ways to care for those in need. In many instances we both want the same things. We differ on how we approach the solutions. It is not wrong to care for those who are less fortunate. What is wrong is to take from others against their will, often without their knowledge and consent to pay for that care. It is wrong to stand in the way of those who step up to care for the unfortunate simply because they stepped over some bureaucracy to do so.
Our forefathers, guided by Almighty God, established a limited government. Since that time, we have allowed government to wander far beyond those limitations. The intention was often good however misdirected. We need to step back and reevaluate our approach. We also need to reconsider and reconstruct many of the machinations put in place over the decades. Today our nation resembles a mechanical leviathan to give Rube Goldberg a massive migraine. Much of this needs to be dismantled and stored away forever, if not recycled into something useful and far from the reach of government authority.
It is time to once again become one nation under God.
First I’ll point out I did not take notes. I did not “fact check” anything for historical accuracy. As with any dramatic portrayal, I expect there were some literary licenses taken, some facts shaded, overlooked, or ignored. Yeah, okay, I get that. For instance Jane Wyatt was portrayed as a bit of a bitch before her and Reagan’s divorce. Maybe she was and maybe she wasn’t. At the end they did display several pictures with captions. One was with her stating she voted for Reagan twice for President. I remember she refused to comment on Reagan’s presidency at all until after his passing. Divorces can be a bitch. Maybe she was as well. Emotions run high. I don’t know the woman nor the circumstances but I feel they were a bit hard on her. As for this review, I’ll aim more for the “sense” of the movie – the overall feeling.
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
This “revelation” first dawned on my after pondering Lance Wallnau’s episode of Firewall on March 24, 2024 on Real America’s Voice. He pointed out the concept of the “microchurch”. He referenced Matthew 18:20.
While I may not always be confident I am doing God’s Will to the best of my ability, what I AM confident in is God Himself. I am only human. I am entirely capable of screwing up a one-car funeral but God is, well GOD, and HE does not, can not screw up. My trust is in Him.
In a word… YES! Such is the easy part. The what, when, and wherefore are different matters altogether – things I cannot answer. That said I was heartened by my reading this morning. Here it is for you – all 40 verses (WEB)
Granted, this was written before even Christ was born, but the thoughts are timeless. They are just as valid today as they were thousands of years ago.
“Civil War”. The very title of this hit piece should make it obvious if you also understand there actually was no first “Civil War” in this nation. Certainly nobody in the South made any attempt to overthrow the United States Government any more than West Virginia attempted to overthrow Virginia. They simply wanted to disassociate themselves from what was becoming an unbearably oppressive centralized power – the exact opposite of the original intent of the formation of our Constitutional Republic. Oh yeah, that brings up point #2:
It doesn’t matter what their reasoning was or if YOU agree with them. None of that has any relevance to the issue at hand and that is whether the southern states had the right to secede from the union. We all seem to forget this is the crux of the matter and they were well within their rights to take off and do their own thing. The reason I make this point is so many others, particularly fellow conservatives, hold up Lincoln and the Norther Aggression he fomented in such esteem as the feat of some great and noble savior. Maybe it was for the best. Maybe it was all ordained by God Almighty Himself. None of this excuses the brutal truth of the lawless and unconstitutional actions of those on both sides of the conflict.
We now have the technology that allows citizens to stand for whatever seat they wish AND we have the technology to hold our representatives and employeesaccountable. We don’t need anyone to ride from house to house with news or gather at the town square to discuss important matters. We can do these things, but we can also do as much from the comfort of our homes, our place of business, or a laundromat – wherever. We have unprecedented access to our government entities and to each other.
If you look at it all this way, it is laughable. Are you getting this Mikey? Yours is a straw man. The ONLY thing your proposals can accomplish is to either overthrow our government by your penchant for seizing our liberty, forcing us to either surrender to your elites or rise up and toss them out on their ears. (No, we don’t need to stinkin’ guns for that either.) To that end, YOU, sir, are fomenting rebellion BY insisting on more unconstitutional gun control.
holiday profits. So much so, they invented “Black Friday” and proceeded to beat the day to death. Now the prophets of profit cannot even wait until the actual day but begin their “Black Friday” deals days, weeks, even months before the day actually arrives. Insert eye roll here. My contrary nature loves the non-commercialism of Thanksgiving. More than that, I love the fact that this is the day when families get together and break bread. What I don’t like is the overachieving display of food that so often adorns tables, side tables, and sometimes side side tables. I’m a simple guy. I’d be happy with turkey with stuffing, potatoes, and rolls. Okay, don’t forget the gravy. And pie. Gotta have a piece of pie. Already I’m stuffed.
