The horror of it all. I have watched literally dozens of rallies over the years....and tuned in for a few minutes last night....long enough to see the worst of history past when whole nations fell sway for a tyrant....and multitudes of people followed adorningly at the heels of a cult leader.
Trump billed himself this way today....THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FIRST 100 DAYS IN PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY. Technically....The German Fuhrer's....or leader's....first 100 days was more....'successful'....in what he wanted to accomplish....although the similarities are indeed great.
God's Word says that....."covetousness....is idolatry." (Colossians 3:6) That means that wanting more and money and things....is idolatry. This whole....America First scheme....is idolatry. Have you even heard your pastor even mention that possibility?
God's Word is very specific about treating the alien in Israel's midst fairly. Just about everyone agrees that we need immigration in America. We all know that completely open borders in not the answer. There is a legitimate and pressing concern about terrorists using open borders. The most pressing thing with Trump is that he has to come up with numbers of deportations....somehow.....through any means. There was a raid recently in our area where 8 workers....illegal immigrants....were taken out of a restaurant. It's amazing how terrorists can be so polite as they wait on you so efficiently. That is tongue in cheek folks...you know that right. Did these men have a family....a wife and children? Who cares right....that's eight less illegals....only ten million plus left to catch?
After so many failures and humiliations....to get the news back on track....Trump says that he is now going to focus on an....external revenue service.....where we might never have to pay income taxes anymore! He is throwing more bait into the water. We are going to be so rich that we won't know what to do with all the money. Just about all of us have at one time or another watched a television comedy show where the main character tells a lie....and then has to tell another lie....and it goes on and on until he or she gets caught. Well this is similar....but the difference is that Trump has to throw out one money-making scheme out after another....to keep our lust for covetousness primed.
Trump is once again threatening Putin with the dreaded....increased sanctions! If Trump really wants to gets Putin's attention he might tell him that if he doesn't make a treaty....then the U.S. will begin again in earnest....arming the Ukraine with advanced weaponry to defend themselves.
Trump once again made some spur-of-the-moment remarks that were enlightening. That's where we get most of the truth from him....when he speaks impromptu....where the prepared words have been delivered but he wants to still keep talking. He said that Isarael was not going to draw the United States into a war. That remark would certainly have gotten the attention of Netanyahu.
There is another big military sale of advanced weapons to Saudi Arabia in the works....but don't worry....Trump says that Israel still has more advanced weapons! Let's hope that Israel doesn't get on the bad side of Trump....where he threatens to stop weapons deliveries if they do not toe the line again.
There are at least three movies out there on Corrie ten Boom and how her family protected Jews.....and there are many more books on the topic. I'm reading The Watchmaker's Daughter right now. This is a message that has always blessed the Christian community.....but we may have forgotten how a government can start breaking down doors to arrest its enemies. We might want to remember the words of Martin Niemöller....who said that first they came for this group....and then that group....and eventually they came for him.
Karoline Leavett....watch her at length sometime. That sweet face and smile unfortunately is like a....thoroughly brainwashed....Youth For Trump....and she is arrogant as the day is long. It is sad to see a mind wasted like that. Anyway....today....she was asked a question about arresting judges.....how far up would Trump go. Coincidently I was asking myself that same question earlier this morning. A congressman or a senator might easily get arrested....everyone might get arrested except for one person....a sitting president. All you can do with him or her is start impeachment proceedings.....and that is if you have the House....and you are not going to get a conviction unless you have the Senate. Yes you can vote him or her out of office....if you can make it to an election without everyone being arrested. There also is the 25th Amendment....and we actually came close to that in Trump's first term when he had a normal cabinet.....but with this group of runway models and runaway celebrities....forget it. Trump knows all too well about the 25th Amendment....for on the campaign trail in 2024 he brought up amending the 25th amendment....so that he could get rid of a Vice President if he gets another like Mike Pence. Friends....you have been warned so many times on what you are getting yourself into.
The German Fuhrer was named chancellor in a secretive late-night meeting....11:45 PM on January 30, 1933 to be exact. Those that made the decision did not like who they would give power to but believed that he could be controlled. The Fuhrer's popularity soared. Children across Germany would eat cake and celebrate his birthday every year....until about 1939....when those celebrations ended. The Fuhrer's first hundred days ended on May 9, 1933. The battle was on....the country was polarized....opponents were purged....the Fuhrer's people were put into all positions of power....and the Enabling Act was passed to suspend the constitution. I highly recommend to you that you read Peter Fritzsche's 2020 book....Hitler's First 100 Days...When Germans Embraced the Third Reich. You can purchase the paperback on amazon for about $21....or on Kindle for about $13.....or....from what I see advertised....you can listen to it on an audiobook for about $10.
