In A Remarkable Turn Of Events.....

                Russell Vought is an evangelical Christian....Wheaton graduate.....former Deputy Director of the OMB in Trump's first term....Director at the very end of Trump's first term....and the Director of OMB again in the second term. He made news....and I posted on it in early 2018 when at his confirmation hearings....Bernie Sanders attacked Vought simply for not denying that his Christian faith leads him to believe that eternal salvation is only through Jesus Christ.
                 Russell Vought will tell you proudly that he is a.....Christian nationalist. I referred to him one other time....in 2019....when after Trump was being castigated because or another enormous budget....the same Russell Vought....whose passion is cutting budgets and the national debt....commented oddly that things were right on schedule?
                 Let me segue here a little. A month ago Trump's National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was embroiled in a controversy after he mistakenly invited the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic....to a government chat group. It has been my opinion that that magazine....The Atlantic....is the best current events magazine out there. No they are not conservative....but they are professional....which is something....and they are good at what they do....which is actual journalism.
                  Their latest issue has another top-notch article....and it is on Russell Vought. You can easily Google this at....The Visionary of Trump 2.0....by McKay Coppins. If the thesis of this article is correct....then it answers that question that I had in 2019 on why Russell Vought was satisfied with the way things were going on the budget.
                  If I could summarize that which I think is most pertinent in the article....Vought....and many others....(we are familiar with the term....Project 2025)....have given up on the hope in change that would have to follow the restrictions of the constitution. They are not into slow change because they do not believe that it would ever happen. No....they want essentially to destroy the federal bureaucracy....no matter how much chaos comes with that....and coinciding with that....increase the powers of the executive office....so that we would no longer have to worry about this concept of democracy. They want all the opposition purged....and replaced by loyalists. It was looked at as a conspiracy theory....too radical for anyone to actually be serious about....but after the quakes of the past 100 days we can see that it is not just a conspiracy theory....that that is what they are attempting to do.
                  I have a few major problems with this that are not going to go away. First....they would....and are....(these people....this plan)....hurting tens of millions of people in the process....poor people....people who do not have a 401 to cash in. Liberal policies gave us this entitlement culture....but like it or not....agree with it or not....it is there....and multitudes....tens upon tens of millions are dependent upon it....and you cannot just watch them suffer and die just to replace a bad political science with a better one. This is Ayn Rand me-centeredness....totally lacking in compassion....and not Christian in any way.....but it is nationalist!
                   Second....these folks seem to no longer have use for the constitution. Even in the worst of days when the Democrats were in power....it wasn't that they hated the constitution....it was that they had no idea what it was....and why it is important....and how it is something wonderful to behold. So in a remarkable turn of events....the Democrats today are defending the constitution over the Republicans who no longer have a use for it!
                   Third....these people want an authoritarian president....in a ruling party atmosphere that has no challengers. Folks...it's already been done in the past....and we have never fully recovered from it. This is where the pulpits are to warn us....but who is there anymore to warn them? (Please see my post below titled....God Has Taken Away The Spokesmen)
                   Russel Voight was and is to be commended for his defense of the gospel when attacked by Bernie Sanders....and I did commend him....but his particular gospel comes with the promise and command of an earthly dominion that God's Word does not give. This is Peter cutting off the ear of the high priest's servant. This is the leaders of Judah who rejected Jeremiah and said that they were doing to throw off the joke of Babylon.
