Preface: All over America the Republican Party is entrenching....Trump candidates....and attempting to purge all others. How does this not send shivers down the spine....at least in Christians....knowing the dangers of exalting a man....and a deceiving and power hungry and threatening and profane man at that? Why a man anyway? I thought this was supposed to be a conservative movement? In Exodus 8....as God was bringing the ten plagues upon Egypt..."The magicians said to Pharaoh, 'This is the finger of God'. But Pharaoh's heart was hardened." On September 8, 2019....as Trump was riding high....Breitbart led with this headline...."MAGA 4 E V A....PARSCALE: TRUMP FAMILY WILL BE POLITICAL 'DYNASTY' FOR DECADES.....TRANSFORM GOP INTO 'NEW PARTY' "....but within weeks of this the "finger of God" would bring a plague upon the world. J. C. Ryle once titled a message...."The Finger Of God".....as the great cattle plague devastated England. Spurgeon said of the cholera epidemic...."we conceive as ministers of God, to call the people's attention to God in the disease, and teach them the lesson which God would have them learn." To say that our pulpits slumber would be generous. Woe to them who do not warn the flock entrusted to their care.
The Definition OF Insanity
Donald Trump may be the worst thing ever to happen to America. There are those who believe just the opposite....many of whom are evangelicals....which in my mind is just more evidence for my supposition.
The criteria I use comes from eighty books and counting on Donald Trump....including every part of his life....and watching him.....for four solid years now....and as one who not only voted for him in 2016 but initially celebrated the result of that election.
Imagine this....it is early in 2020....and President Donald Trump announces that he will not seek a second term so that the Republican Party can have a solid front....with the fewest distractions....to keep the White House and retake the House. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are nominated and quite naturally with such a ticket the whole election cycle turns out to be a disaster to the socialist Democrats. Alas this could never happen with Donald Trump with whom there is only one star on this show....and over seven billion viewers on this planet that should recognize his greatness.
So many of us truly thought....or at least hoped....that in 2017 we would see that he wasn't just 'an empty suit'....as the term goes....upon seeing the seriousness of what he got himself into.....as the leader of the free world....and indeed as it turned out he wasn't an empty suit....for a seriously ill megalomaniac was inside that suit....so instead of inauguration day being a new beginning....it was the opening credits for Nightmare On Pennsylvania Avenue....with absurdities of his lying and bullying over the inauguration crowd size....this only hours after he took the oath....(the word 'oath' used with Donald Trump....being an absurdity in itself)....and he went progressively downhill every month after that....resulting in two impeachments.....and an insurrection....with men and women crashing to the ground all around him....either from him personally choreographing their professional demise....or others burning and crashing simply by flying too close to his flame. All this produced what we have today....a once formidable but now utterly disreputable Republican Party....and a decimated evangelicalism where Christians fell head over heels for a genuine biblical false prophet and enemy of their professed Lord and Savior....and a compassionate conservatism that today is nothing but a joke....if not turning into outright racism.....with its constant barrage of cell phone videos that is meant to portray an entire American ethnic community as nothing but raging hedonists or criminals.
What President Trump presided over in his four years in the White House that was good....and there was precious little of it.....was what conservatives had fought for over decades.....during which time Trump was nothing but fodder for supermarket tabloids. He had to give conservative judges or even Limbaugh would be calling for his head. There seemed to be a month or so of concern for what was transpiring at the beginning of his administration....but they decided to just....let Trump be Trump. Lindsey Graham and Ann Coulter went back and forth on this so often that they could put their name on a brand of Ping Pong tables. They all thought that they could keep him under control.....which unfortunately is as absurd as Trump's thoughts that he could keep the coronavirus under control by ignoring it.
To cover their tracks....they are attempting to destroy Anthony Fauci....who considering what he was dealing with did an admirable job....for the hit list is posted for anyone on our side who at the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, psaltery, dulcimer and all kinds of music....(in actuality the rally music of the Village People, the Stones, Queen, The Who, AC/DC, Lee Greenwood etc.)....does not fall down and worship the image of the golden-haired calf....shall be cast into the fiery furnace of prime time Fox cable news!
Who was it that first described the definition of insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? Well that is exactly what these Republicans are doing.....as they despised him but thought they could control him....and they thought that they needed him....but he only dragged them down into the slimiest swamp of all....and they are doing it again....making the very same mistake....because they think that they cannot survive without him!
Note: There was a day when conservative talk radio and Fox evening shows were invaluable to us....in giving us the news that the mainstream media would not....and if Trump ever leaves they may return somewhat to what they once were.....but for now that is all gone....as this media is in total bondage to him. They must turn all attention away from the horrors of this man.....even if they have to distort just about everything they broadcast. My warning here is to Christians....flee these people as Lot fled Sodom. Flee them and return to God's Word!!! I talk to so many today....professing Christians.....who have no powers of thinking left whatsoever.....as they simply sit by the radio or television....and believe everything that they hear without so much as a moment of examination....as if Satan and his minions would never think of using a demagogue to lead the church away from Christ.
A Drudge news item led me to view Tucker Carlson laughing and calling the Chairman of our Joint Chiefs of Staff...." a pig." Folks....that is what we have devolved into.
And also this from today....Saturday....June 26....Fox's main headline right now is...."Fauci Caught Lying."
The Washington Post claims to have documented Trump's lies over four years.....30,000 of them....or an average of 21 a day. Now I don't know anything about what Fox is talking about here with Fauci....but I personally have witnessed daily lying from Trump over those four years....many small lies....some medium lies.....and some seriously important lies.....for the man has absolutely no concept of truth at all....but here is my point....I do not remember Fox prime time cable or Internet news ever....ever.....mentioning one of those literal thousands of lies! This my friends is the malignant bias of the so-called patriotic news we are given every day....and have been given every day for four years of covering for Trump.....and this to go along with the distortion of the news and malignant bias from CNN type of sources. We need to back away from these people on both sides and begin once again to think for ourselves.
Just three examples...to give you an idea....does this bother anybody....anybody? Candidate Trump promised to release his tax returns....then for years said that he couldn't do it because they were under audit....then just came out and admitted he wasn't going to release them. How about this....Candidate Trump severely criticized Obama for golfing so much....and said that he wasn't going to golf....that he was going to work....then he golfed almost twice as much as Obama....anybody....or this.....at every rally Trump told the crowd that he got rid of the Johnson Amendment....and the crowd cheered....but he never got rid of the amendment....it would have had to be legislated out....and he never tried. This was the norm folks. If he lies like this all the time…for has his whole life….what makes you think that he is not lying to you on everything else?
