It was surreal. I've read that Donald Trump chooses the music that is played at his rallies. Whatever your taste in music.....it's an odd combination....as it one one occasion went from Rock to operatic to country. At one rally the Rolling Stone's Sympathy For The Devil was played followed by Lee Greenwood's Proud To Be An American as the President entered the arena. Tonight....I turned C-Span on about ten minutes or so before the President was to enter the arena in New Hampshire...Phil Collins In The Air Tonight was playing....(if you are familiar with that strange song)....it was followed by Survivor's Eye Of The Tiger....(if you are familiar with that).....and then it got really strange. The lights darkened while colored overtones swayed over the crowd...and then came AC/DC's Thunderstruck....(I had to really work to understand the lyrics enough to research the song.) This was a rock concert scene folks. If you have the chance....pull this song up on YouTube.....that preceded the entrance of the President of the United States by two songs. You might want to check out the lyrics to the other songs also. Is this choice of music to set the tone for the rally? Probably. You can easily Google the rally which will....on some broadcast venues....start with the pre-rally (concert?) anticipation.
Folks....I have never seen Chris Cuomo on his show....whatever he does....(news anchor?)....for I do not nor have ever had the cable news networks. I know him only from newspaper articles or talk radio. Drudge has him up right now with the headline....Cuomo Goes Crazy! Rages At Maga. I watched the video. Apparently one of us....(who we are nowadays.....who Donald Trump has turned us into).....held a phone camera low and then instigated trouble with Cuomo....who was with his nine year old daughter. Sean Hannity to his great credit did what he has done on a few occasions.....which few of us do....he defended someone on the other side because they were not in the wrong. View the video....see for yourselves....and make up your own mind....apart from talk radio.
If you have read the news every day on more than one website then you have probably seen the story about foxes running around near the Western Wall by the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Here is how the story is presented: The Old Testament book of Lamentations tells of the Temple Mount having been so destroyed that foxes could live there...."Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate, Foxes prowl in it." (ch 5, vs 18 NASB) The Old Testament book of Zechariah tells of the rebuilding of the temple. The tie-in comes from the Jewish Talmud....which would be similar to a Christian creed or catechism or directory of public worship. Neither the Talmud or the creed would be Scripture....but would be authoritative to the degree of faith placed in it. Well....the Talmud says or implies....I'm not sure which....that when foxes return to the Temple Mount then that will signify the building of the temple again....as it was rebuilt in Zechariah's day....so there is a lot of excitement in Israel over this....but is that what it really would signify? Zechariah has fourteen chapters and covers as many topics almost as if it had sixty-six chapters such as Isaiah. It speaks of the immediate history of Israel back then....there are messianic prophesies all through it....and it speaks of the last days and the tribulation therein. It both commands repentance and it warns....and it comforts and encourages. So from a Christian perspective....if these foxes are indeed a prophetic fulfillment....it would not point to another temple of stone. What would it point to? Well....grab a pencil and a highlighter....a good translation of the Bible....and maybe keep Google handy on your phone in case you want to reference something....read for yourself and see what you think. There are many verses in that small book that you will recall....and it would be a wonderful place to start reading into the Old Testament prophets if you have yet to venture there.
My wife is very close friends with another lady who is very liberal....Hillary signs in the yard and that type of thing. We two couples have been friends for 35 years and politics never comes up....as we know how each other feels and leave it at that. Well I shouldn't say never because as this lady and I were talking by ourselves two days ago the topic did finally come up because of the bumper stickers on my truck. She was absolutely surprised that I do no want four more years of President Trump. As for me....I was surprised that when she asked who might be a possible challenger.....and I mentioned John Kasich....she said enthusiastically....."Kasich...he would be OK." John Kasich says that there would have to be a "path" to the White House for him to run. Well Mr. Kasich....this might be your 'path'.....for I know that many Democrats are not happy one bit with their candidates. There might just be the possibility of a significant switching of party lines if it were the right candidate. There are fifteen states that have 'open primaries' where a Democrat can vote for a Republican. Michigan, Missouri, Texas, South Carolina and Wisconsin are among those states.
The quote was from someone else but Winston Churchill 'retweeted' it in is day....."whenever there are six economists gathered together....there are seven opinions." So 50 percent of economists might think one thing.....and 50% another....and the rest another....to keep the thought going. President Trump wants bigger interest rate cuts by the Fed.....and a lot of them.....right up till the election. Geoeconomist Jim Rickards....(that's how I would first describe him)....has weighed in on the following a number of times. Admittedly as an observer and not an economist....my take is that he warns that there may be no tools left the next time the market crashes....for we have used them all up....lowering interest rates being one of them. This tool is more to stabilize a falling economy than to make a good economy better....and certainly not to be used for political purposes. We may need that room on interest rates in the near future which makes the situation worse....and the pressure on the Fed riskier....but as one book from from an ex-White House staffer put it....the President's economic advisers sat him down early on in the administration....with charts....and showed him how the national debt should implode just about the time the President would complete his second term....and his response was....."Yeah, but I won't be here." I bring this quote up often....for this is a man who campaigned on the danger of the national debt....and look who he is now....and this is but one example!
Will President Trump follow through on the gun legislation that he has been talking about? He may or he may not....'With Donald Trump....all decisions are possible.' In the over forty books that I have read about him since it became apparent in 2017 that there was a big problem in the candidate turned president....I have not found a shred of evidence that there is even a morsel of genuine determination or personal belief on anything other than the issues of money and power and fame. If the time is right....he will do anything....or refuse to do anything. He'll be the strongest vocal defender of an issue if being that vocal defender works in his favor. He'll turn on a dime and betray anyone if it is clear to him that doing so would work to his favor. Two days ago President Trump said that he will be going to Poland again.....reminding everyone that some people said that his last speech in Poland was one of the greatest speeches ever given by a US president. President Trump's speech writers will try to do it again....all President Trump has to do is show up and read the teleprompter.
In mid-March messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn.....author of The Paradigm and other best-selling books....gave a three minute proclamation directly to President Trump....at Mar-a-Lago....in front of an audience that included among others in government Senator Lindsey Graham. This was presented as a word directly from God to Trump.....it began...."Mr. President"...."the LORD would say to you"...."so I have raised you up to be a Jehu to your nation....and a Cyrus." Brothers and sisters......you need to view this video for yourselves.....('Jonathan Cahn's prophetic word to President Trump at his house'...will get you there.) Evangelicals need to make a conscious decision if they believe that something like this was from God....they need to examine this in light of Scripture and not just automatically accept it. They need to ask themselves if they may have as of late been seduced by the moment....and the emotion....and their own particular political biases. If they see a problem with this 'word' from Jonathan Cahn.....which they should....then they may see other problems that have arisen with evangelicals and Donald Trump.
Update on the daily Rasmussen Presidential Approval poll: Wednesday....The 'approval' figure continued to slowly drop....45%....the 'disapprove' rose one percent to 54.....the 'strongly approve' dropped from 32% to 30%....and the 'strongly disapprove' picked up one point to 43%. You won't hear this on Rush....although you would if it was 50%....but Drudge posts it whether it is good or bad for the President. If it goes back up to 50% I'll put it up here.
