Honestly, I want to pay attention to what they’re doing to DJT but I find it hard to even waste my time on at this point. It’s ridiculous and we all know it. However, if they succeed in taking him out (because let’s face it - the corruption runs deep enough to bury him) what are we left with? At least he’s trying to fight which is more than I can say for the paid off/blackmailed/money grubbing rinos.
I have political fatigue. And I’m not alone. Checking with others around me, others online, family and friends -NOBODY CARES ANYMORE. All they see is more of the same BS where the criminals get away with murder, money laundering, malicious prosecutions, lying, cheating, bribery etc etc and nothing stops them. And they’ve all watched the integrity filled, trying to do the right thing, stand up and fight against lawlessness people get thrown in prison. It’s the same playbook we’ve all watched for decades. In 2016 people took notice as DJT came into the scene and stirred the pot. People stood up finally excited, and got bashed and smeared and ridiculed for it. They stood by DJT through all of it no matter the consequences.
But now… People have short attention spans. People don’t do well when perseverance is required. Nobody likes long suffering. People know we’re in a war but the enemy is invisible and don’t know how to fight that. People feel like they’re swinging at an enemy that keeps moving and feel helpless. People are tired. People don’t know what to do. So they stop. They just get off the merry go round. They stop paying attention. They stop following the happenings of the day. People are going back to life before 2020. It’s almost a relief. Although it’s a false sense of relief it’s at least something.
How do you rally the troops when they are beaten down and injured with broken bones and smashed livelihoods?
America needs a win. America needs to see true justice happen with at least one person. Just one. And we haven’t even gotten that in decades.
Not trying to be a downer. Just realistic in what I see happening around me.
That’s the plan. To exhaust and demoralize us into submission. That’s how you enslave people and take over a country. The war is here and has been for a while. How much is your life worth to you? We have to get back up again or we’re done.
I agree 100%!!!!! America and all she stands for is worth fighting for. I’m just discouraged by the people. I raise and care for an adult daughter with special needs. I know what long suffering is. I know what perseverance is. I know what advocating for the vulnerable is. I know what it means to fight and never give up. I have it in me even when I get discouraged, to get back up and keep going. It’s the ones around me that have never had to fight for anything ever. They don’t know how to fight. People who skated through life without much difficulty do not know how to do battle for themselves let alone someone else.
I’ve heard people say over the years ‘why does God let His people suffer? If God is so great then why doesn’t He save them from their circumstances?’ Well, I’m here to tell the world BECAUSE IF HE DID THAT HOW WOULD WE EVER LEARN TO FIGHT FOR WHATS RIGHT AND JUST? How will we ever learn to not give up? How will we ever learn to persevere? How would we learn to do battle against the unjust?
If God rescued us out of all our circumstances, never let us experience hardship, never let us be taken advantage of, never let us know what it’s like to be abused and live to tell about it, never suffered, never experienced what it was like to not know where your next meal was coming from, never had to rely on His goodness to provide when we had nothing…… if all that was just stories we heard but never lived…. How would we ever be able to fight for America someday?
Unfortunately, we tend to squirm out of our uncomfortable circumstances rather than embrace the suck, learn from it and let it turn us into strong, sound minded warriors. That’s why people give up, I think. They never learned how to fight and get back up.
If God did all of those things you listed above, we would think we don't need Jim because life is just perfect as it is.
I'm in the same boat as you, though my son is not an adult yet. It's sometimes tough to watch everyone around me live obliviously to hardship or (worse) tragic loss of freedom. But we press on and depend on Jesus. And you know what? I believe we are just being prepared to leave this broken world and there will be no ties to look back at. Only forward in Jesus!
I’m with ya! And I stand and applaud you 👏 👏 and salute you 🫡 for the job you are doing as a care giver and a mom! No one but other moms doing this job can understand the sacrifices daily, the dying to ourselves that happen, and the hard work and perseverance exercised…as well as the pure joy of the simplest accomplishments that happen once in a blue moon, that we all take for granted.
What you said dovetails with something I’ve thought since I became a parent—I feel like having kids gives me insights into the WHY of our relationship with God and our questions on suffering, more than anything else in my life has ever done. If we don’t teach our kids to wait for things and if we teach them instant gratification, if we don’t teach them how to deal with peer pressure and bullying, if we never allow them to experience any difficulties, how will that properly prepare them for life as an adult?? And I think it’s the same with God—if he doesn’t allow us to experience all of these things, how will we be prepared for the afterlife?? (Not that we’ll have suffering there, but I think in order to be fit for the life after this one, we have to learn some things here first).
DJT said he was going after Pharma and boom now this. I don’t we how come out this lunacy. I don’t even know what to think. People in MIA are talking about organizing to protest. I am not going near this Bc just don’t want to be long term jail resident while the government slow walks thru it’s process. I can’t risk it all and sometimes feel maybe it’s best to have sheep in wolves clothing. RFK Jr maybe able to bring more people together than trump can. I am voting anti Biden but now not sure voting matters.
I hear you. J6 laid the foundation to keep conservatives in their houses and online fighting THAT censorship rather than in the streets exercising our constitutional rights. They shut us down. None of us will go near a protest now. They won. They are removing our ability to even fight in this war. It’s been said that the way to take America down is from the inside out. They’re winning on that front too.
The assault on Americans is real life. What do we do. It’s a rhetorical question at this point 😏
Fight and lose everything or wait and hope keep living. Not a hard decision. It’s super sad. Family came from Cuba and lost everything for fighting there. Can’t go thru that again and where do you go? How do you get there? I have direct Spanish heritage but it’s too far back not sure Spain will let me in and they are socialist. In Spain they do enjoy life but how long until Spain becomes like USA? nothing is certain best to wait and see keep head down until major seismic shift happens. There is so much corruption Us system of government is gone.
The question is how fast do you want to lose everything? Because one way or another fight lose everything. Don’t fight lose everything but slower. I prefer slow. 🫣
I forget the terminology for it but Spain recognizes the Greater Espana (sp?) and provides an easy path to Spanish citizenship for anyone of Spanish heritage. You can get citizenship even while having American citizenship. You should check it out.
I heard years ago you could claim with any relation Gr grandparents etc. now i hear they want direct descendent. I hear with enough cash they will give residency for three years and then allow you to apply for citizenship. Also the right degree, Spain is looking for engineers don’t have enough of them there and have a ton of buildings need restoration. Specifically roll out red carpet for electrical engineers. They don’t need accountants.....this abound. Seem to have enough of those. Not sure how Spain is doing after pandemic. I was there end of 2019 looked ok to me. It’s an option for retirement sell my home car all of my retirement funds I’d meet their criteria. It’s nice there, socialism is broken in like a good leather shoe smaller country living off EU. Catholic god fearing country not fixated on transgender rights and who can use a bathroom. That and Portugal but have no familial ties to Portugal that I know off.
But even fighting for the kids seems to be too much effort for most of us. At least my former pastor went to a local school board meeting to speak. That’s more than 99% of pastors now. I can’t get anyone to even do the minimum to stand against the sick evil aimed at our children. Yet they all vote Republican and love the RINOs. Very frustrating. Also noted, they love their TVs and still believe in the COVID shots. Ok, I guess I’m just venting.
The big talkers were saying “when they come for our kids that’s when the people will rise up” ya whatever. Obviously I’m not trying to diminish the ones who did and are speaking up for our kids and doing something about it. However, they came for our kids and crickets 🦗. The poison jab (among so much other garbage that is aimed at our kids) is part of the childhood criminalccines now. We really fought back eh?
I think I’m venting too. Sometimes I just need to spew the frustration and then get back in the game.
That's the part that worries me the most. When they came for the children, it was crickets!! Same with the trans shit, the trafficking of children and the normalization of pedophilia!!!!! Very bad sign.
Yes! And Parents still letting their kids be on there. Nobody gives a crap as long as they get their social media fix. Where are the charges or investigations into them and zucker$uck? 😠 Crickets on all fronts. Very bad sign.
“When the Lord saw their change of heart, he gave this message to Shemaiah: “Since the people have humbled themselves, I will not completely destroy them and will soon give them some relief. I will not use Shishak to pour out my anger on Jerusalem. But they will become his subjects, so they will know the difference between serving me and serving earthly rulers.””
“These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”
Wow. Thanks for sharing that. It choked me up a bit. To know how weary they were back then. To know some gave up others were badly beaten down and lost limbs. I mean I KNOW it, but I don’t know it if that makes sense. I probably read this in school somewhere (back when they taught history) but had forgotten it. Thanks for the boost. I hope anybody that comes across this takes 10 min and reads it. It should be required reading.
If we don’t know where we came from…we won’t know where we are going.
If we can’t appreciate how we became a free country, we’ll lay down and freely give up that freedom for something else.
If we don’t understand the sacrifices made for us, we will be unwilling to make those sacrifices for ourselves and others.
In the American Secession from the British Empire, commonly called the American Revolution, only a small percentage of the colonial people were in the fight - maybe 20%? They fought the most advanced army on the planet for seven weary years losing battle after battle yet in the end God gave them the victory.
I believe Trump will win in 2024. But the desperate Bolsheviks and NeoCons may find a way to overcome the election - even so far as assassination. If we lose that battle, then the liberty states will have to ban together and secede from the USG and the blue Marxist states. That will be our next battle. We will have to be ready to close ranks.

Thank you! I keep thinking that we can be quiet leaders. Being good examples to others when they come asking how we do what we do every day.
That is worth more than most people think!
