DISPATCHES

GOOD COP...BAD COP: Friends....Christian brothers and sisters......President Trump and the Republican elites are playing a form of 'Good Cop...Bad Cop' on you. Good Cop (Trump) stabs us in the back for the umpteenth time....Bad Cop (Ryan, McConnell et al) gets the blame....then they both yuk it up together over how easy we are to fool.  Have you not noticed how the headlines of last week have faded in favor of a television personality...(is he a television personality....Jussie Smollett.....I never heard the name before....haven't the slightest idea how to pronounce it.)....but it took over from Virginia politics to keep you from stumbling across who Donald Trump really is. Folks...they just need you for another six months or so....until Donald Trump is guaranteed his second nomination....then as President Trump himself might say....."It's off to the races."
................................................................................
VENEZUELA AND IRAN....Do I believe that Donald Trump has real concern for the people of either Venezuela or Iran? No I don't. What is consistent with his history is that this is 'fake compassion.' I do not know that he is even capable of compassion beyond fleeting sentiments....but you would have to read to see who he is.....and of course we have been taught by our leaders that all news is fake news.
................................................................................

THREE FACTORS will weigh the most heavily in the peace proposal that is being worked on to bring "peace and security" to the Middle East....(1) the wisdom of Jared Kushner.....(2) the goodwill of 'all' the signatories.....and (3) the transparency and truthfulness of Donald J. Trump.... I feel that I need to repeat these that the ominousness of it might sink in....(1) the....wisdom....of Jared Kushner.....(2) the....goodwill....of 'all' the signatories.....and (3) the....transparency and truthfulness....of Donald J. Trump.
............................................................................

AND WE DID NOT SPEAK OUT: It has only been two years so far of this gut-wrenching contorted confusion and chaos as Donald Trump stumbles along on his own kicking cans down the street. Imagine six more years of this! Imagine six more years of Ivanka and Jared. We and we alone will be responsible for the ascendance of Ivanka and Jared on the world's stage should it happen....for we said nothing! The day after President Trump would win reelection....he would have absolutely no need of us at all.
..............................................................................

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S RALLY SONG....SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL: This from the morning of the El Paso rally: "The words that I want to say are...'Lord have mercy upon us for nominating Donald Trump to carry our banner.'.....but I know that this (nomination) was judgment from God....giving us exactly what we wanted.....instead of what we needed. The conservative movement has collapsed....and the evangelicals have fallen for a false prophet.....the words that actually came out were...."Open our eyes Lord....to our own culpability in our distresses....and begin with this political rally tonight....show us who this man is.....if it be Thy will....and only if it brings glory to Thy name"."

Update from a few minutes into that rally:  It's part of the musical set that Donald Trump had approved to be played at his rallies.....but I myself had never actually heard it played at a rally....until a few minutes ago....the Rolling Stones......Sympathy For The Devil. Surely there were many Christians in that arena. I tried to see if there was a reaction from the crowd but I'm watching the back of their heads. I did sense a sudden sobriety....maybe even a little shock....or maybe I imagined it. 
.......................................................................................

THE MUELLER PROBE IS LEGITIMATE: We have been led to believe that the only thing involved in the Mueller probe is whether Donald Trump....through espionage in the form of collusion....sold our country out to get election help from Russia. This is a straw man argument that is ridiculous and very easy to attack....but what is not ridiculous is that Donald Trump has had dealings with Russians for decades....which usually means with the Russian government....and this is a man famous for 'you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours' dealings. It is legitimate to question whether in his naivety that Donald Trump used this method of his....to in his eyes....supposedly benefit both nations.
.......................................................................................

WORDS OF A FALSE PROPHET: Here are some thoughts for Christians on some of the President's words from the State Of The Union.
"The majesty of America's mission"...Majesty...killing our pre-born...and keeping the others from God?
"In the 20th century America saved freedom"......God alone determines the fate of nations.
"Extraordinary promise of America's future"....God's Word implies something different.
"Tonight I ask you to choose greatness"....Choose you this day whom you will serve..Josh. 24:15
"The state of our union is sound"...."My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit" Psalm 51
"Our most thrilling achievements are ahead"...."For when they say 'peace and safety..." 1 Thess.
"This is the time to set our sights on the brightest star"....."Seek the LORD and His righteousness"
"This is the time to re-ignite the American imagination"..."Return to Me...and I will return to you"
"But we must reject the politics of revenge, resistance, and retribution"....this from a man who prides himself and has written extensively on his determination to always seek revenge and retribution!
.......................................................................................

MIRROR IMAGE: Just the image alone of Hilary Clinton would incense us. Remember that. Today the image alone of Donald Trump incenses the Left. Yet in self-righteous anger we act as if this is something new to American politics. They gloried in Hilary's arrogance and rhetoric....and ignored her subsequent actions. Today we glory in President Trump's arrogance and rhetoric....and ignore his subsequent actions. They're the bad guys....we're the good guys....so we can do what we want....see things any way we want. The Left is godless....true....not many have written more about than I have in these posts....but that does not make us blameless! We cannot expect God to hear our pleas if we do not start with our own rebellion.
.....................................................................................

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: We had gone roughly 180 years without our Constitution giving specifics on what to do when a president is incapable of performing his/her duties....even though a number of instances had already been handled adequately. So the 25th Amendment was ratified in 1967 but the issue still remained ambiguous on certain types of emergencies. Ultimately the Vice President and the President's cabinet are to make that decision if necessary....so far so good....but let's suppose here that someone like a radical Leftist becomes president....and let's say that he/she gives an executive order that all of our nuclear weapons are to be dismantled.....as a show of good faith to our enemy. OK....a normal administration would be able to put a temporary stop to this through the 25th Amendment....but a radical Leftist president such as we have a number of such candidates running for the office right now would most likely have a cabinet consisting of Mickey and Minnie Mouse....Goofy....Pluto....Donald Duck....Huey, Dewey and Louie....Bluto....and Mr. Magoo. Well chances are they would not do anything. On the positive side....it is highly unlikely that the Joint Chiefs of Staff would be occupied by Disney and comic characters. So you can see what the result would have to be. There has always been....and will always be the possibility of a president essentially losing his/her mind....or just giving away all of our defenses....which would be the same thing. The answer to this problem is not as difficult as it might seem. The United States will ultimately either go on or self destruct in direct correlation to the make-up of its people. If that people are God-fearing they will not put themselves in the situation such as the above. If they are in total rebellion to God....which we are close to right now....then the above situation would be a possibility. So it is not a general election itself that will determine anything...but rather the character of those who vote in that election. Therefore our pulpits will have more say in America's future than our media....which unfortunately at the present time....is no consolation. The New Trump Party will say that this is why we must reelect President Trump. If he gets the nomination....yes....probably....but they will use this in an attempt to secure his second nomination.

THE GREAT LATINO REVIVAL...AND THE BUILDING OF A GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL...God at times moves in marvelous and wondrous ways through the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ within peoples and within nations such as in America in the early 18th century....and Wales....and Scotland.....and Pyongyang in the early 20th century....yes Pyongyang! And there have been many more. Should His Spirit move mightily over the Latino population in America in such a way....you would see a wall built by both parties so fast it would make your head spin. May God do this should it be His will. May His Spirit move upon all of our hearts in ways that bring Him glory!

FRIENDS....these are strong opinions on who Donald Trump really is. You are going to hear only the New Trump Party version from most of our formerly dependable news sources. If you agree that we have a major problem.....please help me and spread these posts around.
