VOTED FOR HIM....CELEBRATED....NEVER AGAIN.....There has only been a half dozen times in these eleven years of posts where I asked readers to consider passing the website on....and this is one more. If you are concerned about who Donald Trump really is....and the arguments here are some that you have never heard or read before.....please give others the chance to make up their own mind....because they are never even going to hear anything like this in the bondage of what is now....Trump Radio.
WE LIVE IN BABYLON NOW....Brothers and sisters in Christ.....we live in Babylon now. We didn't listen to the Jeremiahs God sent to us....Billy Graham and R. C. Sproul and others....we didn't think we were doing anything wrong to begin with. We gathered up false prophets....to challenge those Jeremiahs and Habakkuks and Jonahs and Micahs and Nahums that God had sent. It didn't work out too well.
SUPREME COURT DECISION.....Today's Supreme Court ruling that will help Donald Trump in his bid for reelection....but may hurt him in the long run. The Congress will not get the tax records.....as the Court sent this back to lower courts....with an admonition....and it will take time to resolve it....possibly extending beyond the November election. The Court did give access to the tax records to the Manhattan DA.....for the grand jury....which by law will be sealed. The President is crying persecution....but he must be relieved....that's the way he works....pure deception....for the people will most likely not gain any insight on his financial dealings before the election. What this does mean however is that a second term would be every bit as contentious as his first term. There is still time to pressure President Trump into dropping out of the race....and giving him a pardon for future prosecutions as it relates to the Manhattan DA....if that is possible. Folks....candidate Trump promised to release his tax records...."absolutely"....then for years he said that he couldn't release them because they were under audit....even there is no such restriction....and then he went so far as ignoring subpoenas....and spending who knows how much money to keep them secret. Does anyone on our side care at all about this?
RUSH....DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ADMITTING....Rush related to his listeners on today's show how they should be thrilled that no one will see see Donald Trump's tax returns before the election....if at all. I know what he is saying....the above comments on this. Christians....do you realize what Rush is saying....we are to rejoice that no one finds out who Donald Trump is! Is this your champion? Also....he was telling his callers not to be offended when the call screener tells them to get to the point....because they are merely trying to help callers whom they consider to have something valuable to say. Translation....call screeners on all of these talk shows pick faithful Trump supporters....the only ones with....something valuable to say. Over time....years in this case....we come to believe that all conservatives espouse the opinions of all these callers....who invariably begin their calls with comments like...."Oh Rush....(or whoever)....it's such an honor to speak to you."
A COMMON SENSE QUESTION....The charges on Trump Radio are that the Democrats are purposely destroying the lives of millions of Americans....this as it relates to the virus debate....in order to get Trump out of office. Now....for the sake of argument let's say that was true. This morning on Breitbart radio....host Alex Marlow admitted that President Trump's results so far were so-so.....I can't remember his exact words. OK....taking these two assumptions at face value.....we are supporting a President....who is doing a so-so job....even though millions of American's lives are being destroyed because of the division caused by that President....doing a so-so job....who he himself not only thrives on that division....but purposely generates it? Once again....if this were the case....should not the Republican Party have long ago told the man.....doing the so-so job....and causing division that destroys many American lives....should not that party have long ago told this President that he just has to go?
NEW THURSDAY MORNING....John Bolton has called Jared Kushner..."the second most powerful man in the White House." It was right at the beginning that conservatives failed.....particularly Limbaugh and the other major players in radio....when they did not shut the door behind them....and demand answers of Trump. I worked with a man who was the toughest person I had ever known....in worldly terms. He was one of those ring fighters that are so popular today. The stories about him are numerous but one stands out. Three men had stolen a trailer of his. He found out who they were....located them in a barn.....walked in....closed the door and and put a board in place to lock it....to keep them in.....he then picked up another two-by-four and handed it to one of these men and said....."You're going to need it." We are to blame for Donald Trump. We got fooled by his art of the deal....yes....but we should have let him know from the beginning that he wasn't our cult leader.....and he better get Jared and Ivanka out of the White House.....but we didn't.... and we are paying for it today.
THE BEST LAID PLANS OF MICE AND MEN....Any one of a dozen or more unexpected events can change election outcomes in a very short time. A world war could change everything....or health issues....or a natural disaster....even a run of what we would mistakenly call 'good luck' or 'bad luck.' God....and God alone....determines what kings shall rise or stay or fall. Only a few short months ago Donald Trump was riding on top of the world....his reelection seemingly insured....as he was telling everyone how great things were going to be....a false prophet if there ever was one. The Christian can only do his (her) best....and constantly examine his motives....all the while seeking only God's will be done! I have for some time now pushed for President Trump to bow out....but even if that happens....once again....God alone determines what kings shall rise or stay or fall....and His reasons might be the opposite that we think that they are. Having said that....
SEVENTY PLUS BOOKS ON TRUMP SO FAR....Ivanka lied just like her father...."Oh...I'm just going to be a daughter"....and she and her husband wound up as advisers in the Oval Office....the first of many travesties....the newly inaugurated Trump started threatening immediately.....the Freedom Caucus....as he tried to palm off on us a fake Obamacare repeal bill. I then started reading on Trump. I'm over seventy books....encompassing his entire life....his fortune and bankruptcies and Roy Cohn days and celebrity and family and Mar-a-Lago and golf and Russia and the Kushners and his presidency....and I'm in the middle of two right now with Bolton's book due today. My assessment on Trump's entire life....there is nothing upstairs....and never has been....no empathy....no compassion....no honesty....nothing. A vacuum ready to be filled. There is still time....Lord willing....to replace him on a ticket....and drag some sort of sane conservatism back into the White House.....and therefore at least free some Republicans in Congress out from under this bondage.
CHRISTIAN BOOKS. Thirty-eight years ago I stopped in a Christian bookstore out of curiosity while my wife was shopping at Penney's....and walk out with Josh McDowell's Evidence That Demands A Verdict. I have a $50 Barnes & Noble gift card burning a hole in my wallet so I stopped in B&N today. I noticed that in the Christian literature isle....all the signs that have forever said....'Christian Living'....or...."Christian Fiction'.....that's over one full isle of books.....they are now all labeled.....'Religion'.....with no more mention of the name 'Christ.' Folks.....there's about a thousand books in that section.....and if they were all in my basement.....I don't think I could pick out one that I would want to sit down and read. That's how bad Christian books are today...but evangelicals don't care....because the bookstore in their megachurch....or is it a magachurch....has all the Joel Osteen books they'll ever need. Christian bookstores were once a supply line to both the saved and the unsaved. They are basically all gone today. The church today reads drivel at best....and as for the guy walking the concourse while his wife shops....he's not going to stumble upon a Christian bookstore that can change his life.
WAR IS COOL.....So Trump thought it would be 'cool' to invade Venezuela....this from the Bolton book....and that Venezuela is who we should be going to war with....."because they have all that oil"....this from the McCabe book. Sherman thought war to be hell....but Trump thinks it cool. What about all his talk about endless wars? It's all money and profits folks. He was ready to go to war in Syria when he abandoned the Kurds....because there was oil fields there.
THIS IS ONE TROUBLED AND DISTURBED MAN.....Any unbiased clear thinking individual should be able to observe Donald Trump's actions and reactions and recognize serious psychological disorders. The narcissism is beyond anything I have ever seen or could have even imagined.....the constant lying with not even any care that he is lying shows a seared conscience.....and the lust vengeance that dominates him....coming from the President of the United States....should be enough to shock not only citizens of the US....but anyone around the world.....friend or foe....but we purposely ignore all of this....because he has converted us into disciples. He brings out the worst in everyone....supporter or detractor....Republican or Democrat.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT AS TRUMP TAKES AIM AT CHINA....the goal has been to deal with communism as best we could....to make it that it cannot fool people and forcibly sweep over nations while promising the communist version of equality....which is nothing but totalitarian bondage....and in doing this to avoid world war! So Donald Trump was telling us every day how we were the greatest economy in the world....that the whole world envied us....and he and everyone he sent out gave us statistics every day on how rich we were as a nation....and then he started a risky trade war with China....the risk being if he goes too far then the Chinese communists might retaliate in areas both economic and military that puts us directly on a path to that world war of which avoiding was our primary goal! Trump could not care less about principle....or any issue really....abortion or social issues.....they were only used to get him in the White House....and now China's trade imbalance and intellectual property theft was keeping his greatest economy in the history of the world....from becoming even greater....and his self-perceived greatness becoming even greater. Then the virus appeared....and almost in a moment all the economic gains were lost....and the national debt which Trump was already sending through the roof....went into orbit. The cold war was back....and the Chinese communists were being pushed in a corner....a dangerous situation that even Sun Tsu warned against in his famous book....The Art Of War.....which Trump claims that he read....and may have led to the title of his own book....The Art Of The Deal. Summarizing here....China's reactions to the virus might not have been what they were....were they not being cornered....in order for our "greatest economy in the history of the world"....to become even greater....and in the process achieving Trump's primary goal....securing his reelection. What had been the primary goal for many decades...is no longer there....the goal today is as much profit as we can squeeze out of everyone. Those who....whatever their skills and limitations might be....helped keep us out of a world war....are today nothing but deep-staters....to be replaced with loyal....inexperienced at times....yes men....who apparently are not primarily concerned with preventing a world war.
STAY OUT OF OUR POLITICS MR. FARAGE....YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH PROBLEMS OF YOUR OWN.....Brexit leader Nigel Farage went on a rampage against....of all things....English Puritans....of whom without them he would probably today be living in an English commune somewhere.....calling all of his tranquilized fellow travelers comrade. Here we are in America fighting those trying to take away statues of George Washington.....and our British hero Nigel Farage....is likening those pulling down monuments as.....'New Puritans.'
.WHAT HAS TRUMP GIVEN US....Federal judges? We would have all those judges with any of the other conservative candidates from 2016. Pro-business deregulations and a lower corporate tax rate? Same thing. A rebuilt military? Trump signed onto the money....he didn't 'rebuild' the military....he just likes to say that...knowing that we are dumb enough not to analyze such an incredible statement. He did give us a new cold war with the very possibility of another world war....this because at one moment he told us we were the greatest economy in the history of the world....and in the very next moment he started a very risky tariff war....for a few dollars more. I wonder if China might have acted a little differently on the virus if we weren't tightening the screws? He totally screwed up to the situation with North Korea. Our allies are disgusted with him. I'd like to see a poll of our active military. He purposely stirs up hate every single day....because he wants another four years. Does he love America? I don't see that in reading over seventy books on his life. What I see is that he only loves himself.
THE LAST DEMOCRAT I VOTED FOR....congressperson and above....was probably Jimmy Carter in 1976. We do not know what a day brings (!)....but Lord willing....(in more than one respect!)...I would vote for Democrat Congressman Conor Lamb over the republican challenger who Donald Trump is hyping in his normal inglorious manner. Normally I would be an automatic R vote...(I live in this district)....but this man either does not know who Donald Trump is....or he doesn't care....or he is but the latest subservient devotee of Donald Trump who would endorse the devil to keep a job in the Congress. As for my vote for president....I would write in another name. Trump tweeted only minutes ago...."I built the greatest economy in the World, the best the U. S. has ever had. I am doing it again." He is on his way to becoming stark raving mad.
RFK....It was 52 years ago tonight....June 5, 1968....that Bobby Kennedy won the California primary....and was on his way....I believe anyway....to not only the nomination but the White House. I was to work at the grocery store the next morning....but never went in again....after hearing the news from what happened in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel a few minutes after midnight of the previous evening....after I had already gone to bed. RFK was on the one hand tough as nails....yet he despised Roy Cohn for the way that he treated people....(Cohn was Donald Trump's mentor ...."Where's my Roy Cohn?"....and in a way hero)....but along with being tough Bobby Kennedy was the most compassionate politician of whom I have ever read....whereas Donald Trump is not capable of empathy or compassion.....70+ books on Trump that I've read made this perfectly clear. Ethically he is a monster. The day that a second term would be assured is the day that he would no longer need evangelicals who fell for his false teachings
The Big Lie: Most conservatives have heard about the concept of 'The Big Lie' that is so 'colossal' that it must be true....for who would have the audacity to invent such a thing. The Russia probe as being a hoax is an example of the 'Big Lie.' Combine this with repeating.....hoax....hoax....hoax....for years....and it also gives the illusion of truth. The FBI was within its rights....in fact it was its duty....to follow up on a man like Donald Trump who spent an inordinate amount of his energy in dealings with Russians....and then becomes president....with help from....or at least attempted help from Russian entities. The evidence itself is disturbing but we don't read the evidence do we.....for it is fake news....another psychological manipulation meant to empower a man or a movement.
OK....SINCE YOU INSIST....LET'S GO OVER THE WHOLE RUSSIA THING AGAIN....Donald Trump is ordering....(and you had better believe that he is the impetus and the command for this)....the purging....(a Stalinesque purge if there ever was one)....of anyone who tried to investigate his troubling ties to Putin and Russian Oligarchs....and Russian Mafiya. Unbridled revenge may be Donald Trump's Achilles Heel. My advice on this has been...."So Mr. President....you want to talk about Russia again.....let's do it....beginning with why the FBI had such great concerns about you becoming President of the United States. Let's go over the Mueller Report again....without redactions. Let's hear the FBI side of story.....and while we're doing this let's wait and see if the Supreme Court permits the release of your tax returns that you have spent years and millions of dollars keeping hid. I'll start the ball rolling....why did you have to meet with Putin in Helsinki.....one-on-one....(with only interpreters present)....with none of your aides allowed in to hear what you were talking about....and this for two hours? Do we have your permission to call in our interpreter? (LOL)"
DOES TRUMP CARE ABOUT HUMAN LIFE....President Trump tweeted (a few hours) ago....."....and all those innocent lives lost!" The topic was China....and those were fake tears. What about all the "innocent lives" lost at the hands of Russian criminals that he not only had no problem dealing with.....but went out of his way to do so because they had all that sudden money after the fall of the Eastern Bloc? Does President Trump have the same concern for the people of the Ukraine?
KAMIKAZE....I want to give an anecdote from Bolton's book that would not be part of any review of the book that I might attempt. It appears on page 345. Trump was in Japan for meetings with Prime Minister Abe and other ceremonial affairs. Abe's father was a kamikaze pilot that obviously was not able to complete his mission...since Abe was born in 1954. Bolton records it this way...."Trump loved mentioning that Abe's father had been a World War II kamikaze pilot..." He seemed a little too enamored with this fact....for my taste anyway....as my father was seriously injured by the attack of a kamikaze pilot....and his life was affected by it....and he is now buried in Arlington National Cemetery....but that is Trump....who does not have the ability to experience either empathy or compassion....and sounds very fake when he pretends that he does.
NFL FOOTBALL....I honestly have no idea how long it's been since I saw as much as one series of downs in NFL football.....thirty years at least....maybe thirty-five? I was a big Buffalo Bill fan in my youth as I was born in Buffalo. A big prize was one day when My father brought home Paul McGuire's practice jersey for me....which I wore out until it was shreds....but I eventually became a Steeler fan. We used to jump in someone's car and head across the border to Ohio to see the games because of the blackout in Pittsburgh.....and I was with others downtown celebrating after Super Bowl wins. I'm here to tell you that it is more than possible.....it is wonderful....not to be a fan anymore. I'm not sure when Professional football started playing regularly on Sundays....The Lord's Day....but its first championship game in 1933.....was on a Sunday ....December 17th, 1933. Although I obviously didn't care one way or another about this when I was a fan....later in life I watched as Christians were more excited about getting home in time for the game than in their church service.....and one big local church moved their service times earlier to give the worshipers time to get home....and another time....when my theology changed and we were looking for another church....we tried a Baptist congregation a Sunday evening....and there were only about six people in the sanctuary but the parking lot was full....because most everyone was in another room watching the Steelers in the Super Bowl....(and we wonder why America is what it is today?) I bring this up for one reason....and it goes beyond football to all professional sports....as we don't have any right now....except golf maybe. What are men doing on Sundays now.....and women? Well I have no idea....but I know what's not happening....to a large degree anyway....Christians are not brutalizing the Lord's Day in this way. Will this have some kind of effect in the church? I cannot write these thoughts without admitting this. There are some high-profile Christian leaders....some of whom I great respect....to put it mildly.....who have somehow wrangled out of God's Word that's it's OK to go to church and then downtown to the stadium. To quote a player on the team....Everett Flatch....(Shooter's son)....from that fine high school sports movie Hoosiers...."I'm not seein' it coach."
