Preface and update: Donald Trump gave his speech tonight at the North Carolina GOP convention. Lara Trump announced that she will....not be a candidate for the senate....and minutes later Trump endorsed his candidate.....this was all a surprise....meanwhile another candidate already in the race was in the crowd.....blindsided by all of this.....and Trump dumped on him. In Georgia's GOP convention.....the governor was loudly booed.....and the secretary of state censured. Romney had previously been booed in his state. Folks....you cannot see what you are unleashing. I had a promising experience the other day in a conversation with a friend. We talked for only a few minutes about the danger of Trump.....and here she said that she had already sent letters to two Republican committees on what Trump is doing. This is what we need!
(NOTE....JUNE 15.....we have reached 600,000 deaths from the virus....and folks....I listen to these our own people every day on broadcasts of one sort or another....literally attempting to destroy Dr, Fauci as if he were Josef Mengele.....(for we are nothing but political animals now.....there is no gospel in us anymore...and no Christian witness....only Trumpian personal attacks on anything that moves but does not bow down in homage.) We thus demonstrate to any clear observer how we have absolutely no compassion for human life or empathy anymore! If you cannot see this....I pity you.....for it is so very obvious.....how he has changed us....into the image of himself.)
The greatest generation....that's what many call them.....in how they responded to Pearl Harbor. What would they call us....in how we responded to a pandemic? It has been a remarkable career...that of Dr. Anthony Fauci.....at least from I read on Wikipedia. He along with Ben Carson was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bush in 2008. There are a couple of ways to look at what transpired around the coronavirus pandemic over the past year and a half. You could read only mainstream liberal sources....or you could read only the Trump sources.....or you could rely more on what I have.....and that is a week-to-week- almost day-to-day personal recollection....and in that recollection I saw this man do yeoman's work....in almost impossible odds....with personal attacks on him all the time because his evaluations did not sit well with those running the Trump 2020 campaign.
Can you even imagine what it would be like to have every memo....almost every conversation of General Eisenhower's during World War II? From what I have seen so far....Fauci was personally answering just about every email he received.....even from people in the public. The real question is not in how many times he was right....for who in a war of any kind could stand up to that examination.....particularly in this case by people who have left the arena of public health....and operate solely in the arena of crass....win at absolutely any cost....politics.....but in how the course of events followed the prognostications of the main decision makers of our government's health scientists. They were telling us that this could last well into 2021....and that it did....and it's not over. We are nearing 600,000 deaths. Just a little over a year ago President Trump was predicting about 50,000 deaths. Some of his statements were typical Trump absurdities....and you easily could Google this for yourself to see what there were and the evolution of his predictions.
All of this is neither here nor there compared to what is happening today. If you.....Christians....are part of this....then you should be very concerned for what happened to you over the past four years.....for this is nothing short of a blood lust attempt to destroy a person's good reputation...after fifty years of service.....and if you know your Bible....then you know that this is one of the big things that you do not want to do. So when you get the text or email with an article from the 'America Only' base of this new Republican Party....consider praying over this whole thing first....you might be surprised at how your mind begins to work a little bit differently than it has over the last few years....and you might recall how it once functioned independently of domineering pundits....and how free that feeling was....and how strong and grounded on God's Word that you felt....and how you knew that at least you were on the right path in dealing with pride and self-righteousness.
