My sister, who up until last month still defended Biduhn, said that at the country club in Boston where she was, when the announcement came over the TV, the people cheered and started chanting Trump Trump Trump.

I said I didn’t understand. Biduhn hasn’t actually been in charge for the last 4 years, but his administration implemented the entire D agenda perfectly.

If that’s what they support, why do they want him out? She changed the subject.

Those people are stupid sheep.

Listening and reading comments from people on other sites and pages is appalling. 🤦🏼‍♀️ To listen to the regurgitated media lies from people who STILL actually believe bidum was a wonderful “pRESIDENT” makes me want to vomit. And to hear them say food is going to double under Trump and we’re all going to starve, he’s going to destroy America, he’s a dictator blah blah blah just makes me throw up in my mouth. “Those people are stupid sheep” is an understatement.

At this point - anyone still asleep is CHOOSING to leave their head buried under concrete. I heard it said a small percentage of the population will never wake up - I think we are here.

The Thessalonians verse is rapidly becoming one of my favorites.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-11

... they perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie ....

Tripped and fell running to my Bible after you posted this scripture! I Read the verses just above what you quoted and got more chills..

7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. But the one who restrains is to do so only for the present, until he is removed from the scene.

8

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord [Jesus] will kill with the breath of his mouth and render powerless by the manifestation of his coming,

Dr. Tenpenny did a talk in 2021 that featured these verses. She was addressing the mass delusion about so many trying people to shove jabs down everyone's throat. I think many of us are getting used to the willfully deaf & blind by now, but in 2021 the scale of it was a rude awakening.

I wish more people would come to know the fallacies of the Scofield Bible. “Pre-tribulation rapture” and “Israel can do no wrong” are such dangerous teachings, believed by SO MANY Evangelicals.

Perhaps you reading this now are one of the mislead. Do not be fooled by those that say they know. You can look it up on wels.net. Basically the Jews forfeited the designation as the chosen people when they rejected the promised Messiah, Jesus the Christ. God chose Israel as the people to bring Jesus into the world. The (edit: "Extremist" Jews) Jews not only rejected him, they killed him and continue to believe that Christians should be killed as heretics (Edit: Talmudic Jews believe Christians are heretics, AFAIK). God still wants Israel to accept Jesus as the savior, as well as all Gentiles (non-Jews). (See 1 Timothy 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9).

God’s focus is on Christians; followers of his promise; followers of his murdered son. All are welcome to the table of Christ. Not all will accept the invitation and many will try to prevent others from learning of or even walking towards the feast.

Many believers will be fooled (per the Bible). Educate yourselves and don’t be fooled. Be in the world but don’t be of it. Be prepared for tribulation, be prepared for Jesus’ return, and like John Rich said, don’t fall for the mark of the beast. The vaccine mandates were a test. If you failed that one, don’t fail the next one, which may be digital currency requirements through the (non) Federal Reserve.

I really don’t know much about the Schofield Bible, but I’ve read the Bible through more than 35 times, whole cloth, so to speak; not verses picked here and there to support an argument. I think your camp is like the Pharisees of old who missed the first coming of the Messiah because they were so sure they had the corrupt and only interpretation of the Holy Scriptures.

Paul makes it plain in Romans that God is not done with Israel. The Old Testament prophets speak of events involving Israel that have yet to come to pass. God’s chastisement of Israel drives them from the land. Repeatedly. But remnants return at the appointed times.

They came back miraculously in 1946.

You mischaracterize those who see it differently from you. None in my camp believe ‘Israel can do no wrong, anymore than we believe America can do no wrong.’ The government is not the people.

But we stand with Israel in her religious war against the Muslims, who seek her complete and final destruction and we believe it is the correct interpretation of scripture to do so.

I am curious as to how you think our present state of affairs would be greatly improved if somehow we all began to believe as you do.

I also stand with the nation called Israel of the present time. But I utterly reject the premise that they are a God fearing nation that is submitted to His word and serves/acknowledges Him. I hope and long for the day this happens, but have little assurance it will happen even in my lifetime. Israel of today are no more "God's Own people" than are the people of France or ARgentina.

I abhor the way much of the world treats Israel, as I also abhor the same for Argentina and India and Brasil and..... yet I also know His people ARE in all thiose countries.

Israel rejected Jesus when they hollered for Barrabas to Pilate whcn asked their preference. Note well that same crowd of JEWS then cried the liuder CRUCIFY HIM and refused to repent after He rose from the dead and walked amongst them again for forty days.

Yes,thousands heard the Word preached in Jerusalem on Pentecost and later, and turned in response. But over the next while God made it abindantly clear that judaism as it was is no more. Note well, it was not long after that He made it abundantly clear that the old dietary laws, feasts, the very temple itself, were no longer tied to knowing the One who made all and demanded their trust. Luke's treatise on the birth and early function of the Church carries this story well. Which is WHY God had him writeit. You might stop and go read again Peter's earthshattering experience during the time shortly before and then after his amazing encounter with Cornelius and his household. Acts was completed right about 68 or 69 AD.. very shortly before Jerusalem was sacked and destroyed (precisely as Jesus fortold in every particular) in AD 70.

To read the Bible without proper hermeneutics is like sailing the ocean without a compass and a transit. How did you read the Bible? As far as their war against the Muslims, all intel I’ve looked at points to another false flag operation like the USS Liberty. And for them to shoot their own people so that they wouldn’t have live hostages? The Hannibal directive? I find that unconscionable. However, I stand with any innocents murdered in the name of religion. Education is the way to get out of the mess and the only way to get out of it. Not war. Jesus wants peace makers not just peace keepers or conquerors. Being less wrong doesn’t make anyone right.

You would do well to learn more about the zealots, who they were, their history up to the days of Jesus, and then over the next forty years.

Next read John's writings on what was comng down the pike "shortly".

Failed logic without linking the commentaries. Similar to “scientific consensus”. Who had Jesus put to death? Where did they go after his death and resurrection? What do you know about Noahide laws? It’s uncomfortable when you realize that a belief is wrong, like all those vaxed that won’t see the damage that’s been done and still believe ‘safe and effective’. It’s ground shaking/shattering when your views are found to be incorrect. It’s hard to look at changing paradigms. May God bless you with the ability to at least look at the possibility that what you believe may not be the truth. BTW, Christianity doesn’t believe in killing to make others believe. The ‘Christian Crusades’ were not Christian at all. Other religions are currently killing Christians worldwide. More Christians are persecuted now than ever in history.

No you are not the only on. And any Scofield 'bible' ought to be chucked out. Much better to rely upon Geneva notes, Matthew Henry notes and the confessions of faith from the Reformation.

Scofield is very suspect. Here is a another guy who comes out of nowhere, goes everywhere, has no visible means of support and has a powerful connection to a New York Jewish lawyer named Untermeyer. Scofield ends up with easy access to either the Oxford Press or Cambridge Press (I forget which) ... and gets promoted everywhere by then propaganda press of the day as 'the latest new thing'. The whole Scofield Saga has 'the look' of an especially designed effort to tears down orthodox Christian doctrine by making chopped liver out of the Bible. Basically, the Law is consistent from the first book to the last book of the Bible and in Christ's Church, we are either Christians or not at all. Christian means that we cannot tack on a certain 'dispensational elements' willy-nilly using the grammatical device of a hyphen.

I had never heard of the Scofield Bible until the John Rich interview with Tucker. I was born and raised a Lutheran and nothing about there being a Rapture was ever taught, only Christ’s second coming; “and we know not the hour”. I am in a Bible Study with several, mostly Wesleyan older ladies. One of them wanted to do a study on Dr David Jeremiah’s books on the coming rapture. To say I was skeptical is putting it mildly. After a few chapters, Jeremiah relies almost exclusively on Thessalonians 4 and “a gathering up”, and quotes from many authors who have like theories. I was happy to hear John Rich’s take.

THIS IS SO INCORRECT! "Jews forfeited the designation as the chosen people when they rejected the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ" God NEVER placed a condition for the Jewish people to be or not be HIS

let's not misrepresent God by saying "God's focus is on Christians" bc we are not privy to the mind of God. Instead let's go back and revisit the scriptures that speak of God's relationship with the Israelites and understand that God has not, will not EVER give up on His people.

Romans 11

I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

2 God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

3 “Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life”?

4 But what does the divine response say to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

5 Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

Romans 11:25-36

25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,

And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

27 For this is My covenant with them,

When I take away their sins.”

28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.

29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

30 For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy.

32 For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.

33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord?

Or who has become His counselor?”

35 “Or who has first given to Him

And it shall be repaid to him?”

36 For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

IF God ever breaks His promise to Israel, why would He not break His promise to the rest of us? Perish the though!!!

Romans 11:19-24

19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” 20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.

21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.

22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, [e]goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

23 And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

Then why did Jesus chide Saul for persecuting him? Saul was Jewish and by all accounts chosen. Yet here, in Romans, he speaks of a remnant elected by grace. These are the Messianic Jews. Those that believe Jesus was the Christ. Jesus said no one, no one, goes to heaven except through Him. He didn’t say, no one but the Jews and those that believe in me. Jesus was the final living sacrifice and he created a new covenant with all the people of the world. He died for everyone’s sins. The veil was torn and we were given direct access to God through Jesus. We can pray to God without intercession of a priest. God promised that the tribe of David would give birth to the savior, the messiah. He promised forgiveness of our sins. I don’t recall him promising that the Jewish tribe must be protected by the Gentiles to go to heaven. Please show me where it says that and I may change my mind based on an updated knowledge. By the way, I don’t agree with many of the MIC driven wars of the USA, either. War is hell and should be the very last resort.

READ Jesus' words on the mark of tthe beast, in Matthew... WHERE was that thing placed? What does the word we read as "mark" mean in the original?

The covid shot goes in the arm, deltid muscle. NOT right hand/wirt, now forehead. MARK is something permananent., and VERY visible. Even if the one poking your arm is a spastic brute, the hole will heal and be gone in a few days.

Next, continue reading till the end of that conversation.. His guys ask "when will these things BE"??? He said ALL THESE THINGS (everything spoken in that conversation up on the Mount of Olives) WILL TAKE PLACE before THIS generation passes away. (go back now and reread all the things He spoke ofin that cnversation.... WHY do you pinder when this or that will finally happen? Per HIS words it all hppened within about forty years of the date He said these tings. ALL these things, or Jesus is a liar. Don't like that? Take it up with HIM.. I'm only quoting HIS words.

I have heard supposedly legit "prechers" and "prophets" and

pastors" trying to convince me this or that is the Mark of the Beast, or that "the Tribulation" is coming here and then and will be like this, that this or that world leader is The Antichrist" and will come at tis time and do that ting over there. Hah!! Antichrist is not even a person, it is a simple way of determining which "category" George or CHarlie or Pete or Mary are in. Jesus said "you are either WITH Me or AGAINST Me". Bob Dylan put it this way: you mist pick one or the otehr, there ain't NO netural ground"/ John the apostle put it thusly: whoever denies that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is anti christ. Synonyms are against, contra, opposed to, yet some wonks have turned John's adjective into a noun, even a proper noun, then attributed all manner of crazy powers to that constructed creature. "The Antichrist" will destroy the temple". hey fail to consider that's a bit late.. Rome's armies under Vespasian and Titus Imperator destroyed that in 70 AD. Once the temple was gone, they turned and did the same to the entire city of Jerusalem, laying it to utter desolation (just as Jesus had also predicted) where it remained for centuries. Oh, bht "the jews" will rebuild that temple and THAT is the one Mr. AC will destroy..... Nah. I'm sticking with the REAL Jesus not the fictional one drifting about these past two milennia.

Concerned mom's avatar

Firstly, I must tell you there are 2 separate events that will happen. I will try to explain as best I can in this post. The Rapture or Snatching Away happens and Jesus does not come to Earth... It happens in the air ...

In Matthew 24 where Jesus' disciples ask Him about the End to come v.3, Jesus reply takes up several chapters and it appears that some things correspond to the Tribulation like v.15 and others to the Rapture v.31

1 Cor 15:51 Paul says, "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—

52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed."

Again, in 1 Thes 4:13-17 13 "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever."

Keep in mind Matthew 24:36 - NO ONE KNOWS THE DAY OR THE HOUR!

And John 14:3 tells us He has gone to prepare a place for us, so that we may be where He is, Heaven! (This is part of another teaching that says Jesus prepares a place for us, just as in a Jewish betrothal, the son goes to prepare an abode for his bride and comes back for her when His father gives the OK)

ALL OF THIS is not what we all recognize as Second Coming.

2nd Coming is when Jesus comes as King and Judge to parse out judgement to the nations. Revelation 19:11-18 "I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:

KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.”

I TOTALLY DISAGREE with Rich's interpretation that we'll be here for the Tribulation. God is not going to beat up His Bride before taking her away.

1 Thes 1:10 tells us "...Jesus who delivers us FROM the wrath to come"

and again 1 Thes 5:9 "For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ"

I'm not sure what you mean by "millennialism or any other ism, but let me point you to Revelation 20:4-5 and see what you find.

Blessing on your searching

Ah, Jack Hibbs. That statement explains a lot. Follow Jesus not preachers.

Dispensationalism - The church and the Jewish people make up two distinctly different dispensations with different futures. Developed in the 1830's.

I have looked at both sides of the coin, dispensationalism versus the belief I hold to be true: The second advent of Christ, the general resurrection, the final judgment, and the end of the world are immediately united and each follows the other without an interval of time.

Millennialism was debunked in the 17th century, yet it still rears its ugly head. I do not wonder why. It is a spiritual war being waged. The rest is bread and circuses.

Is the end near? I don't care other than to warn the un-Christian, and the "think I am Christian enough" that time MAY be running out.

John Rich: American Country Musician, newly turned amateur theologian.

So, he appeared on Tucker Carson to talk about a song God directly instructed him to write called Revelation. I have no doubt this happened. But I think John stepped a bit out of the bounds of that calling to go on Tucker Carlson and claim a special understanding of theology, which apparently someone he bumped into in a proud vulnerable moment was happy to teach him. And it gave him some good talking points for the Tucker interview, although he admitted he wrestled with the idea of presenting them. That might have been the Holy Spirit trying to warn him that he might not be up to the task.

If this had been a theological debate, with say Jack Hibbs providing a counter argument to what John Rich was saying, it would certainly have been a better interview.

As it was, John thought he had discovered some scriptures never before read by Evangelicals.

Having been raised with that doctrine, I assure him he did not.

These Christians are very familiar with 2Thessalonians 2, Matthew 24, the book of Daniel, Ezekiel and all the Old Testament prophecies. They believe the second coming of Jesus is a separate event from the ‘in gathering’ of Thessalonians 2, which precedes it.

Speaking of Matthew 24; to Jesus all time is present simultaneously. He switches back and forth from present impending disaster to future. For example,

Matthew 24:15-17 “

Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand),

“then let those who are in JUDEA flee to the mountains.

“Let him who is ON THE HOUSETOP not go down to take anything out of his house.

Jesus is obviously speaking of those in Judea in that era, who will have to flee the attack of the Romans.

This is complex and complicated stuff, needing a lot of study. WHICH, John Rich has not had.

John seemed to say that the delusion sent by God was for Evangelicals, not unbelievers who refuse to repent. That was unfortunate. But I learned there is fear of Evangelicals. And I hope to come to understand that more fully.

I think the offensiveness is precisely the point. George Carlin had great routines about this. He understood that humans interact using signals, and words are the main signals we use. The science that studies this is known as semiotics.

The childhood rhyme about "sticks and stones" represents this concept. Words only hurt when we allow them to - usually because we're trained to interpret them that way. In daily life, we use symbols so constantly that we think that's all that exists. We confuse the map with the actual territory.

But if you can go to a quiet place and embrace the silence, you can hear all the words running around in your head. There are disciplines that teach a person how to observe and to quiet that internal stream, like meditation. I've been able to experience this a few times in my life, that utter peace that comes from silencing all internal thoughts and symbols - it's incredible when you achieve it, and very difficult for the average person to hold in that state for long.

My experience coming out of that state brought an understanding that our modern human world is an extremely-complex, overlapping collection of games - and symbols are the medium in which those games are played.

I know why the yogi laughs. To one who can slip into that state at will, the world of men looks like a huge maze full of rats chasing one another without purpose. The laugh is one of sadness mixed with irony and empathy.

You make some good points. Oh I agree, the point is the offensiveness but tbh to me, especially when used regularly, it just comes across as puerile attempts at provocation and lack of self control. Sorry to those offended by my reaction 🤷‍♀️ I’ve just always felt that way and I haven’t seen anything in my lifetime so far to prove the contrary.

And yes, words are offensive because as a society we’ve decided they are offensive and carry certain meanings and connotations. But when people despite being completely aware of those meanings and connotations, deliberately use such language, they are imo either trying to show they’re “rebels”, attempting to be gratuitously aggressive and provocative, or just don’t have the self control to stop themselves. None of which are qualities I personally would be proud of, but of course not everyone has to agree with me 🙂

When I worked for the DOD I got tired of soldiers' casual cursing in my office, so I put a sign on my desk (along with a curse jar): "Profanity is the effort of a weak mind to express itself forcefully."

I encountered a "weak mind" in a parking lot, who was seriously gumming up the flow of traffic. After he finishing cursing me out for the problem HE caused, I replied: "If you were to remove all the expletives from your tirade, it would render you completely inarticulate." He stared at me and said, "Whaaat?" I said, "Exactly!" and drove off.

The old saying is that even a broken clock is right twice a day. But even so, that the Cretinous Marxist Band of Merry Cretins came out with this shrieking of 'Staged, Staged' took me by surprise because the risk in this particular deployment is that the spotlight could just as easily be turned back on them.

However, 911 happened under a 'Republican' administration ... and that it was a production rolled out of a Swiss Cheese Factory with facilities located in the Middle East as well as from the Emerald City on the Potomac. So who is to say?

About Butler? All I can say is that no matter what happen, no matter what doesn't make sense, the Official Narrative is now cast in cement. This was one of my principle take homes for the RNC held in Milwaukee. And neither the Commie Left or whatever the Republican side is evolving into, nobody is going to touch The Narrative with a ten foot pole.

Johnny, although it might be an unpopular opinion to hold in this crowd (sorry, crowd - I love you people), I see merit in this observation.

I remember after GWB took office, he began bringing on the MOST LOATHESOME people he could find to fill his cabinet appointments. These were people that immediately set about destroying the progress made in previous decades with regard to civil rights, the environment, the economy, etc. Every one was worst than the last. It wouldn't have surprised me if he'd appointed Jeffrey Epstein to the post of "child welfare czar".

And we saw what that wrought: 2 pointless wars that never accomplished the goals they were supposed to, setting up 7 more wars for Obama, and the utterly cynical corruption of every regulatory body that hadn't already been corrupted. Huge growth in the Administrative State with particular emphasis on the internal security apparatus, resulting in the steady erosion of our "God-Given" rights.

Trump made a lot of silly mistakes in his first term appointments. I was hoping he'd learned his lesson, but I'm thinking maybe he didn't. Maybe he's hiring these people just so he can fire them - if so, I hope he's got some good people in mind to back them up. And really-good security.

But it looks like he's already been shown the JFK alternate-angle film... Actually, he experienced it in real-life a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps these appointments are his strategy for surviving until he's sworn in. But by then, the die will have been cast - I think buddying up to deep-state operatives may well be his undoing.

Folks, again, sorry. I'm just saying don't be taken in by the "great man will save us" schtick. We need to save ourselves. Don't become complacent just because your man gets in. Washington has a way of corrupting everybody. Not trying to be gloomy, just real.

Johnny-O! How peculiar it all is? The cast in cement, the written in stone buy-ins on both sides of the factional equation. And this is not to even say that one side is right and the other is wrong. But for sure, the buy-ins both sides are reflexive and a suspension of both critical analysis based in critical tools of thinking.

I can say two things: 1) Butler makes no lick of sense (all edges are jagged and no pieces of the puzzle fit together), and 2) The Narrative complete with The Perfect Picture are set in concrete more inflexible than anything the Romans had.

The Evil can only persist in time absent critical thinking and analysis. And longer term, without prosecutions for wrong doing.

I always try to get to things I can say with relative absolute certainty (yep, relative absolute certain! Now there is a real fudge flavored stating!).

1) Nobody gets on the presidential stage without a power something orchestrating behind him. And that real money and real power ... and real connectivity.

2) Nobody get could possibly survive what Trump has survived and appears to be surviving without 'a little help from his friends ... which points directly back to point number one above.

Therefore ... fairy tales, spun narrative, tall tales, blitzes and noise ... these and much more simply don't cut mustard. And when this is forgotten, it's then the blind leading the blind ... and all parties to blindness.

I was guilty of suspecting that for about ten seconds. Imagine hiring someone to shoot at your head and just get your earlobe. I thought maybe if Trump were serious about staging something like this, he'd hire a Hollywood special effects team, get a squib installed behind his ear, and coordinate its activation with one of the "shooter's" shots. But then my rational mind returned.

The target was a half second and 1/4" of being brainblasted for all to see and the entire narrative and reality shifted--Biden would still be campaigning, Secret Service would have their budget doubled, Republicans would have had to nominate a DeSantis-Haley ticket or something WORSE, just IMAGINE how much better outcome the Security State would have preferred it than what has transpired...the flowchart moves on and Biden got drop-kicked instead.

It could have even been a radical put up job caught onto and turned around for self-benefit of 'the other side'. But even this speculation does not make a lick of sense because of what?

Sadly last week I was wine tasting with a friend and a golf/country club type couple in the Napa Valley. He is a retired ‘sportscaster’ from a local station in VA. She worked for the Gov-ment for the CMS/Medicaid program and believe it or not is a yoga instructor! In their mid 60’s, they left VA, then ‘retired’ out in Napa a year ago.

Mind you this was before the Biden Twitter ‘drop out the the race’ post of yesterday. They couldn’t stop themselves from saying how great Biduhn was, how great his presidency was, that the stock market went up due to his great economic policies, going on and on extolling the virtues of Biduhn! Never once admitting or bringing up that the reason he might “be stepping down” as President, is due to his senility, dementia and memory issues.

Then they went onto say should “Biduhn bow out of the race”, that they like Gretchen Widmer, the psycho Governor of Michigan, who plotted her own “kidnapping” with the FBI!

First of all I could hardly believe what they were saying… I wanted to throw up, but sat in the back seat of the car, and just looked out the window, doing deep breathing to try and lower my blood pressure!

Because I rarely am around people like these two, it was surreal, how they so throughly believe all the MSM propaganda BS that is going on in regards to what is going on in our country.

But then again he was a TV ‘sportscaster’ for his whole career, so I shouldn’t be surprised. I couldn’t wait to get away from these people!

From the WSJ this morning:

"Concerns about Biden’s age and mental acuity grew from a murmur among allies, who said they believed—or hoped—they were catching the president on a bad day, to a deafening roar, as many of those same allies called on him to step aside in the wake of his disastrous debate performance. A team of Journal reporters examines how the Democratic Party came to the brink of nominating a candidate with an obvious flaw, a yearslong miscalculation that has Democrats racing to mount an uncertain reboot of their campaign against Trump."

No kidding... Biden's frailties, dementia, and other major shortcomings including his history have been obvious for years. What is particularly disturbing is that democrats didn't realize this. Who actually has been making decisions during the last couple of years? Unnamed or unidentified bureaucrats sitting around a conference table arguing and then succumbing to flipping a coin? Did anyone vote for this in 2020? Does the seriousness of this democrat miscalculation give pause to thoughts that they can satisfactorily govern America? Their Party platform appears to be nothing but hate of Trump, support of abortion up to the moment of delivery, and coupled with buying votes by passing out freebies like passing the costs of college loans to those who pay taxes and also paid their student loans as I did.

So now Kamala. Can't the democrat party do better than that? Race and gender are hardly qualifications to be president. How did she do as "Border Czar" when appointed by Biden? What in her background indicates any success other than romancing Willie Brown to get her start?

Listening to the radio overnight, Bill Cunninham, the BBC, and NPR I'm astounded by the praises showered upon Biden by the gullible. A great man? Hardly. Just the head of a money-grubbing family trading influence for dollars along with a heavy dose of hate. He and his family will probably escape prosecution for real crimes, he will pardon his son, and it can never be said that Trump beat him. A great man? Eye roll. Go look at the video of his dark red hateful MAGA is the devil speech in which he slandered nearly half of the country who voted for the orange-haired guy.

I was a ‘never trumper’ at first. I wanted Ted Cruz, lol. But one day, as I was walking out of my laundry room, the Spirit of the Living God spoke to me and said “Who do you think you are?”

I stopped dead in my tracks. I was petrified.

He went on to say:

“Do not call what I have declared clean as unclean!! I have CHOSEN Donald Trump and he is an instrument in MY HANDS.”

I repented then and there and got on the Trump Train. Once I adjusted my sight, I saw what the Father saw in him. A vessel in the hands of the Potter. Like me. Not yet fully what I could be, should be……but in HIS merciful hands, being shaped into what He sees to be needed.

For who knows but that Donald J Trump was firmed in his mother’s womb “For such a time as this?”

If he were perfect, we would not need our Savior, Yeshua. What we need is a leader. We already have a Savior. We need a President.

kinda like Obama, huh? kinda like Harris? kinda like a Biden when he got started? There are lots of these folks who get put in positions by others who are hoping to get an ROI on their investment. As often as not, that investment goes south because those placed individuals have their own egos and agenda. No one is pure in politics (Tulsi Gabbard may be as close as you'll get.).

Trump is trying to build a core of leadership in this movement that is young.

The American establishment oligarchs are forming ranks against the US intelligence Deep State who represent the Global Liberal Banking Financiers who want to destroy America for profit. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." This is what's happening. This is why Trump picked "unknown" Vance. Lines are drawn and the war is coming out of the back rooms and is being engaged. We are spectators.

Ideologies aside, the question that confronts America's oligarchs is "On which side is my bread buttered?" The International Banking Globalists along with the US Intelligence Deep State are hell bent on destroying America. We all see it. And so do America's oligarchs who want to save America. This is now a war for survival and the only way to survive is to lay aside differences and join ranks. Lines are being drawn in the sand and there is no neutrality. And it will prolly involve us as well because it will most likely get ugly.

It astounds me how many supposed conservatives just cannot enjoy the moment and must spoil everything with their doom and gloom, even when they can do NOTHING about it. You are absolutely powerless, Vance may be the Manchurian Candidate himself but there is nothing you can do about it. NOTHING. So instead of just accepting it you must come here and try and bring down everyone else.

Fair enough, I retract the word perpetual and replace it with incessant. I get it from your previous posts.

You didn't address my points at all. Like it or not, Vance is the VP nominee. Like it or not, Trump-Vance is the ticket. Like it or not, we have to win with these guys in November. There is nothing you or anyone else can do about those facts. So what good does it do to attack Vance based on rumor and speculation? What is the purpose other than to demoralize people?

And no I'm not accusing you or anyone else of intentionally trying to demoralize people, but that you have not thought this through. We are stuck with both of these guys for good or bad. Constant worrying over things *outside one's control* destroys mental health and makes people unhappy. Add to this the worry is entirely based on rumor and speculation with no conclusive evidence. Then on top if it, there is no solution. None, zero, nada. Even if it's 100% true, there is nothing you, I, or anyone here can do to fix it.

So people worry, fret, and cause themselves anguish over something they are powerless to influence. That's the basis of Trump Derangement Syndrome also, and look what it's done to the left. They are the most miserable people on the planet. I don't want to see that for you or anyone else here. Jesus spoke on this in Luke 12:22-34.

Yes, we should be wary and we yes we should judge people based on their actions not words. But we can do that without worry and doom-saying.

Remember Admiral Rogers? Obama and the deep state trusted him so much they put him in charge of the NSA, the agency that has ALL of the communications worldwide, so all of the dirt. As a refresher, as soon as Trump won the Presidency, Rogers left the building, told no one, drove himself to Trump Towers, got admitted, and after going somewhere secure, proceeded to show him that indeed he had been spied upon by the deep state for a long time, and it was ongoing.

I don't know if Vance is a sleeper, a convert, White Hat, Black Hat. Anybody who thinks they know for sure is delusional. Timing is everything, and the main reason this is all taking so long is to flush out all of the deep cover sleepers.

I loved RFKs news conference - he hit home a couple of major points:

1) Biden and Trump are the two most responsible for our $30+ trillion dollar deficit, which is why neither of them talk about it or have a plan as to how to fix it.

2) They both have no plan to address our chronic illness in this country which is so out of control it costs far more than does our military budget.

Instead, more of the same, and Trump is now talking about appointing swamp creatures Larry Find and Jamie Dimon. Just mind boggling his supporters can't see the reality right in front of their faces.

I hope RFK gets some media time and into the debates so we can actually talk about and address some of these issues.

RFK says some great things, but some of his views are equally terrible. He is an eco-fanatic. He also supports killing babies up until birth (yes, he does). He's right about the financial situation, but what is his plan for fixing it? He wants us to be a socialist country in the image of Sweden but we are far too heterogenous a country for that to conceivably work. Finally, he apparently doesn't treat women very well. The circumstances surrounding the death of his second wife are very, very troubling. You're right, though. A debate with him in it would be helpful. Let everyone put their cards on the table.

He isn't a socialist. He embraces capitalism and in fact uses it as an example of how to clean up the environment. And having a clean and healthy environment doesn't make you eco-fanatic, it makes you intelligent because it is what supports all life on the planet. He talks about reducing pollution and restoring soil health.

He actually had Dane Wiggington on his program to discuss geoengineering. I've never heard any other POTUS candidate talk about this issue.

Johnny-O, you clearly know more about RFK and his platform, so I will defer to you. I'm curious, does he advocate for a replacement of fossil fuels with renewables? For me, that is one of the tell-tale signs of eco-fanaticism. I want clean air, water and replenished soil. I have no beef against any of that. I just don't want humans painted as "the problem" and therefore the elimination of them as "the solution." I may be attributing things to him that of which he is not guilty.

He has changed his tune on the climate change narrative. I don't see him ushering in some green new deal crap. Solutions are actually quite easy and have been implemented all over the world to regenerate healthy ecosystems. We just have to quit poisoning everything and engaging in poor farming practices. I grew up on farms and this is something I do have knowledge in. When the water can make frogs change sexes, is it time for a conversation about cleaning up our water? I would say so. Big Ag is pretty damn powerful though, and all these mega multinationals are owned by the same handful of companies, and ultimately vanguard and blackrock, who Trump intends to bring into his inner circle. The outlook is not good.

He lamented how sad it was his grandkids would never know the joys of fishing because a comprehensive scientific study found dangerous levels of mercury in every kind of fish. Then he went on to say he had gotten Lyme’s disease from ticks and being out in the woods, EVERY DAY.

Then the attendant of the man of God arose early and went out, and behold, a military force with horses and chariots was all around the city. And his young man said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” So he said, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Yahweh, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” And Yahweh opened the eyes of the young man and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

. . .

So they [the four lepers] arose at twilight to go to the camp of the Arameans. Then they came to the outskirts of the camp of the Arameans, but behold, there was no one there. Now the Lord had caused the camp of the Arameans to hear a sound of chariots and a sound of horses, even the sound of a great military force, so that they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.” Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and forsook their tents and their horses and their donkeys, even the camp just as it was, and fled for their life.
