But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be found out. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens burning will be destroyed, and the elements will melt with intense heat! But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

— 2 Peter 3:10-13 LSB

On another note, on Facebook, Harris has 5.5 million followers and Trump has 35 million. How does someone become a candidate for president with 82% fewer followers than her wildly popular opponent?

I don't understand how a normal person would not make the connection that he is way beyond her in standing. How can anyone trust the media's words without looking at the reality of everything? Isn't there an old saying, "Make it make sense!" What has happened to the normal brain of an everyday human being? How does the Deceiver do it to so many? Have mercy Lord Jesus!

The deceiver does it by making people complicit in his lies. Then, the shame of their complicity takes over. The lies that we comply with and the sin that we hide are the strongholds that we must undermine and destroy.

Example: A friend posted on Facebook: "Making Garbage Great Again!!!" A black, diehard Democrat member of our church responded with this: "That’s so not true & a very ugly saying but love you anyway." Note: I didn't say she's a Christian, although I think she is, but she is so deceived! In 2020 she actually told me the Democrats don't support abortion!

She did in 2020. I essentially asked her (online) today, but she left the conversation without answering.

Yes, it’s mind blowing to try to understand. We just learned a long time Christian friend is voting for K, because she can’t stand Trump. Another Christian friend has tried to give her all the info on why she shouldn’t vote for K and she won’t budge. This is a smart and usually pretty logical woman. It’s heartbreaking as her friend to see her so blinded by the enemy.

I take it personally, JF. Christians who vote for Kamala are voting for us to be persecuted and/or jailed. If they were convinced it was for the common good, they would turn us in, I believe. I likewise think some Christian leaders would urge us to take the mark of the beast (if we are still here then). It has greatly bothered me that my pastor has not mentioned the election or the issues before us. I don't know what to think, unless he's a coward who's afraid to lose the church's tax-exempt status. If that's the case, it is shameful.

I heard a conservative black commentator the other day and he said for so many Democrats, particularly black Democrats, voting Democrat is almost a heritage thing...parents, grandparents etc. all historically voted Democrat without question. Being Democrat is an identity and they barely question it. A great many people don't follow what Democrats say and do and are woefully uninformed about where the party stands today as compared to 50 years ago.

The Enemy is a Thief and Liar who hijacked the world system by Mis-Dis-Mal-Information, rebellion, and injection of disorder. This system in which we dwell seems "normal" and familiar to us and that it will continue as it has for so very long. The Day of The Lord will intrude upon it as a thief and arsonist; or an armed rescue team bursting in to recover a room full of captives.

I listened to a sermon in 1988 that stayed with me. The only one that ever has. We were told that some day we may have to pull people out of the ruins and minister to the people as God leads us. Ruins can include many things. It affected me and makes more sense and is actually more profound and exciting that he would empower his people to rebuild hearts and minds plus a shining new creation rather than whisk us all away somewhere. That’s the God and Christ I see. I am ready to be empowered. How many times does he remind us to not be afraid? That he will go before us? That he would fight the battle. But God will need us through this whole process of changing His creation to the Kingdom of God on earth. Just my take. Blessings, Janice.

I would point out that Christ has already ascended to the throne of God where he was given all authority and power by His Father thus establishing His kingdom. He then poured out the Holy Spirit of God into His body on earth, the church militant, empowering the body of Christ against which no evil spirit (including Satan) can prevail commanding us to go forth and "disciple the nations".

The American church has bought the lie that Satan is the ruler of this world. When Christ ascended to heaven to the throne of God, He saw Satan fall from heaven to earth like lightening completely divested of authority where he resides as a squatter with no authority and the only power he has is that which is given to him by those who acquiesce to the lie that he is the god of this world.

Think I don’t know that? ? Not getting into it if there is a rapture or not. I don’t believe the Bible supports it. You don’t think God will use us to help repair his creation? I believe the power of God is unimaginable to us and yes, he protects us. But He empowers us also. It seems pretty simple to me. When those disciple left that room, loyal but weak behind the door, when they went outside the world changed because he changed them. We are heading for some big change. I want to be part of it. A warrior for Christ. If it’s pulling someone out of a terrible situation, I’m in. . In faith, God will be there with me. Maybe some are hidden for awhile then used, but i sure don’t know that. But I’m volunteering for what He leads me to. In whatever time or space. I think because that simple sentence 25 years ago has stayed with me all this time. Maybe I’ll know something when I see it then.I'm mainly talking about the end times in the chaos. I don’t pretend to know it all. . We do what we can always. God bless ya’. 🙏🏻.

Politico Phil's avatar

Janet, thank you for responding. My comment wasn't meant as a correction but as supporting logic and for not making that clear I apologize. I do completely agree with your comment. We are going into difficult times and your comment is exactly the perspective Christians need to have instead of the escapist "we can't do anything because Satan is the ruler of this world" attitude that inhabits so much of the church. That is an attitude based on a doctrinal stance that effectively denies Christ's kingship over this world and effectively denies the empowerment of the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit to carry out Christ's command to disciple the nations to His rule and dispossess Satan of his influence over humanity. In short, this is a war in history that Satan is losing. Satan's only weapon is deception and lies. And it is the Church's job to shine the Light on his lies. But much of the church has bought the lie that the church cannot win against Satan ("he is the ruler of this world") until Christ physically returns, removes the church from history (the 'rapture') and then brings about judgement and the "end times".

To borrow from Childers, this is a "permission structure" that Satan has promoted within the body of Christ and we must reject it. This is the implied context of Janice's original comment in this string quoting 2 Peter 3 where she assumes we are now in the end times and soon to be "raptured". Satan wants nothing more than to keep the body of Christ immobilized through this demoralizing belief that we cannot successfully fight against Satan's occupation of the world system. Simply put, this is heresy and a blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and Christ's kingship. In reality, Satan is nothing more than a squatter in Christ's kingdom.

The day of the Lord that Peter is talking about is the same judgement that Jesus warned of in the Gospels when he harshly criticized the religious leaders of Israel, the same judgement that Paul warned of in his epistles and the same judgement the gloried Christ warned of again through John in Revelation. The judgement that Christ and the apostles warned Israel of came about exactly one generation later in 70 AD with the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. That was truly the "end of the age". Until Christians understand this, they will continue to sit in their pews thinking they can do nothing to redeem this world until "Christ returns again".

Yesterday, I more fully developed my understanding of this "permission structure" and link it here to complete this comment. Again, thank you and I always welcome a correcting comment such as yours.

I love the concept of the Rapture, but many older faith traditions within Christianity do not believe in it. They believe that all, even the very elect, will endure the awful times of the antichrist.

May I suggest that you reconsider the words of Jesus in the Gospels and those of Paul that address the state of then Israel and the apostate leadership which Jesus harshly criticized as leading the people to judgement and destruction. The Lord tarried for an entire generation that as many as possible would come to believe in Him before He came back in judgement in 70 AD destroying the state of Israel having previously warned the Christian community to leave Jerusalem when they see the signs He described through the Gospels and then again through John in Revelation?

Fred… seems there is a small faction aware of DOD directive 5240.01, and several of us have requested that Jeff weigh in on its directive allowing use of lethal force on American Citizens on US Soil. Quite a number of public personalities have brought up 5240.01 in their pod casts. 2nd Smartest Guy in the World dedicated an entire substack covering the implications: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/dod-directive-524001-illegitimate?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1vKnCQSXGvS5v96guwt2XqdWTdVtdXBev0i4sTCuT7Tk40tLh_DoiA-xw_aem_hskxmt1rHqWRfAHqXnNA4w

Glen Beck, Patrick Bet David, Shawn Ryan, Joe Rogan, Tucker… just a few public news personalities who have covered, more importantly connected the dots to the connections or better defined well laid plans surrounding upcoming elections and 5240.01, as well as JJ Carrol analyzing the dots between the millions of illegal invaders and a dictate allowing lethal force on citizens. The irony… a government’s only job is to protect its citizens…. Why Jeff won’t avail his legal expertise on the matter is frustrating… hopefully Aaron Siri will offer his insight… Ronald Chapman, ESQ, L.L.M., is a former Marine Corps judge Advocate and has significant experience training United States Marines on use-of-force guidelines, including DOD 5240.1 writes his opinion here: https://ronaldwchapman.com/blog/dod52401.

Chapman broaches questions we citizens should be very concerned about: “ the September 27th update, which feels like a preparation for something bigger. Why would the DoD suddenly need clearer guidelines on using force, particularly in response to civil unrest? Are they expecting something? Preparing for the unthinkable—like a coup or large-scale insurrection? This update suggests a shift towards readiness, a proactive stance, where military intervention could very well become a tool in maintaining "order." And that sounds a lot like the prelude to government overreach. It’s not just about enforcing the law; it’s about setting up a system that can quickly transition to military action. We’re not talking about disaster relief or a one-off situation. This Directive reads like a playbook for long-term domestic military engagement. So as we consider the implications of Directive 5240.01, we should remember that laws are only as good as the people enforcing them—and the power they’re given. If we start seeing the military on U.S. soil, positioned to “restore order” or confront “civil disturbances,” we might want to ask: Where does it end? And at what point do we stop being civilians in a democracy and start becoming citizens in a security state?”….

I think that the SCOTUS didn’t look at 2020 because of the turmoil that would have caused after the fact. I remain hopeful that we’re farther ahead of the game this time.

This is the worst and most corrupt election in American history. From criminally charging Trump to Jamie Raskin’s letter implying that if Trump won, he did not fill out the proper paperwork, which might prevent him from becoming president. We need to just break upon the United States. There is no possible way to come together after such a hateful campaign. How can a Democrat shake hands with a Republican in Washington ever again after this election?

I hope that Trump wins, and over time, the deceived will see the light. Many of us were awakened to the true nature of the deep state when it showed its fangs in the Covid nightmare. They're doing the same thing now, running well-planned and efficiently orchestrated disinformation campaigns like the Liz kerfuffle. Even libs like Bill Maher are aware of it. Like Covid, they tell themselves it's necessary because "OMB" (orange man bad) and all, but you can tell they find it tawdry and distasteful. They know. Most, however, are deceived. They chose their team and they're only considering the OMB argument. It is, after all, persuasive. It 10% of what they say were true, they would have a point. But it's not. The lies are so easily disprovable that they have no choice but to censor.

I will never know for sure because the judiciary refused to honestly deal with election fraud in the 2020 instance, but I suspect that Trump won by a landslide in the 2020 election. I base this on Trump rallies in the tens of thousand whereas Biden's showings were pathetic in comparison. I remember, for instance, seeing a Biden rally in Philadelphia, a major US city, and only few thousand supporters showed up. I am sure many people saw phots of Biden rallies in which hardly anyone showed up at all. And remember awhile back of Biden's trip to the fast food burger joint where nobody even wanted to talk to 'Professor Biden'. And how lonely and clueless he looked?

This beyond any reasonable shadow of doubt. I think Trump and few others knew this was the plan. But obviously people like Sidney Powell and Lin Wood did not get the memo. Still, their incontestably invaluable contribution is historical record, proof beyond question of the stolen election.

That is the problem, isn't it? If there is no common ground, then there can be no union. Americans of 1860 had more common ground than we will ever have yet the USG still found a way to divide and conquer. And they are trying to do it again.

Childers' lead story may be the most important observation he has ever published. What is "common ground"? As practiced in the United States, it has meant continually compromising principle for the sake of maintaining harmony and cooperation. Here is how it works. The "right" are continually asked for a "small" compromise on an issue. So out of a false sense of cooperation, the compromise is made and we are all once again united. Then we are asked later for a little more compromise and once again we agree. Think abortion. We compromise "just a little" on the principle that God is the author of life and 50 years and dozens of compromises later, we end up with a infanticide of 70 million murdered babies. Eventually, the "right" has completely lost control and is totally subjugated to the agenda of the "compromise". I ask, when has God ever compromised His righteous standards for the sake of finding common ground to keep the peace? This has been going on since 1865, nay, since 1787. People like Patrick Henry or Gen Smedley, who would never compromise, were left in the dust bin.

Childers' description of the "permission structure" that controls the thinking of the uncritical "left" is absolutely BRILLIANT. This same operation of compromise and permission structure can be seen in the church. In fact, this is where the buck stops. The church's number one job is to speak righteousness to the society, to uphold God's standards. The leadership of today's churches have continually compromised their prophetic role to speak to the surrounding culture and lead society in righteousness and truth. And it is because the church has abandoned her responsibility and simply become a court jester for the civil state that the corruption of the body politic has occurred.

A permission structure has been built into the church congregation that excuses the corruption of our society by the state so that the average Christian never even challenges what is happening in society. We are taught by our seminary educated leaders that this world belongs to Satan and there is nothing we can expect except for a continual degradation of society until the Lord comes back to physically conquer and destroy what Satan has built. This permission structure completely guts the significance of the Ascension of Christ to the throne of God and insulates the congregation from even recognizing the relevance of God's Law and the reality of Christ's Kingdom rule over history and all of the earth. For the church to return to her prophetic role in society, she will have to abandon the permission structure of dispensational theology.

Expand full comment
Roger Beal's avatar

Well-stated indeed.

Certain dispensationalist churches support "carnal Christianity", a permission structure that says to the believer, "You are forgiven so you may safely continue wallowing in physical pleasure". These same churches do not assign importance to repentance - something Jesus tells us repeatedly he and his Father both require of us. Many verses relate encounters of mortals with Jesus, wherein he tells them to "go and sin no more".

Carnal Christians (an oxymoron, but I'll use the phrase anyway) forget that all of us will be judged on every event, every action, every utterance we pronounced in our lives, on an unspecified date that follows Christ's return for his bride. You cannot have your cake and eat it, too.

When I was an "elder" in my PCUSA congregation (2010-13), I was on a special committee, of elders, including our pastor, to decide our congregation's position (?) on homosexuals as pastors. This committee, after much reading, praying, discussing, decided "NO." Brought our conclusions to the Session. The rest of the elders chose to ignore our carefully considered determination. As I recall, without any discussion. ???? Maybe not too surprising, that 18 months later, husband and I no longer wanted to attend Sunday services. I wonder at the discomfort of the pastor who was in full agreement with our committee decision.

The reformation that is going to have to occur in the American church will have to be started by individual pastors once again preaching God's sovereignty, Christ's kingship and the comprehensive and absolute standard of God's Law, Biblical law. Congregations are going to have to hire pastors that meet this standard of leadership and not hire "credentialed" pastors trained at seminaries. The seminaries have been captured for a long time just as our secular educational institutions have been captured by the Left. We must resist Satan and his lies and proclaim the Truth. If a truck driver hears the call to shepherd and preach, hire him and decline the "educated" seminary graduate. A reckoning is coming and just as the followers of Jesus had to separate themselves from apostate Israel to avoid the fires of judgement, we must come out from among them and begin to tell the rest of America the truth just as Martin Luther and the reformers did in 1517.

I think you are on the target (not “haimartion”!). And to your last—I learned how to teach, from teaching! My own graduate program gave me very little (however, I asked very little of it, as I wanted the certificate with minimum “teaching courses” and maximum “subject courses”). And on that topic, as my graduate program was “Latin and the Classical Humanities”—since June have been reading the NT in 1611 English, 1649 Italian and 1911 French. Returned two weeks ago to the Greek. Moving to the other languages brought a sharper understanding of the scripture. Going to the Greek? I cannot express how much. I realize that for many this is not an option. But for those of us with other languages, what a waste not to use them in this endeavor. There is so much which I never noticed when reading in my native tongue.

Correct as to what you say and the reason why we cannot attend 'church' in our area. That is, there are no real churches nor authentically orthodox pastors left in our area. Just wreckage and ruins.

The last half of the 18th century, particularly on the European continent (but also elsewhere) did a great amount of damage to Christian structures and understanding. And that century gave us wonders like Jefferson 'bible'. The early 19th century was no wonder of revival. But indeed, it was the last half of the 19th and the entirety of 20th century that was the complete trashing Christianity.

Machen's Liberalism and Christianity had a publication date of 1923, and that is pretty early in the century. And that still sticks out in my mind as a salient indicator as to timeline. Even today, most of us have no idea of the scale of destruction of Christian profession which is nearly absolute, wholly complete. And regrettably I must concur with Obama that we in America are a now a post-Christian society. And even though congregants may have good aspirations and often 'good' hearts, how could these people come to any measured conclusion as to things Christian absent any knowledge of the history of the Christian Church, either Western or Eastern, teaching and history which reaches over 2,000 years back in measured time?

The fall of the West is mirrored by the fall of its alleged Christian clerics. Due to their abdication the Collective West has been rendered a wasteland open to all kinds and all manner of alien teachings.

The election violations are against the Ninth Commandment, the 'anti-falsification' commandment. In this sense falsification/fraud is just as bad in the one instance as in another. We, of course, do distinguish between 'white lies' and 'all out lying'. But in election stealing, one stolen election is not a greater offense than with any other stolen election. Thus, I can see no material difference between the stolen election/coup d'etat of 2020 and the attempt to do the same in 2024. Both affronts are attempts to defraud the American people out of their property which is their country. Both stolen elections murder the voice thus robbing us of our volition which is the exercise of our control over the terms of the circumstances of our daily life.

If we break one of the Ten, we break them all. And election frauds breaks them all. This makes election fraud the ultimate insurrection against God by breaking every single injunction given to us by God through his Law Order. Election stealing is ultimately the abnegation of God, with the Holy Estate of Man substituted in the stead. It's either honest elections or the cretinous secular god state.

Jeff C's avatar

Yes Amen. "Trust God and do not fear" is in the Bible dozens of times. It was an eye-opener for me to realize that living in fear (which is what worrying is) is a sin. It's a sin because it means that we don't really believe that God is in control, and we don't trust Him.

In other words, if you call yourself a Christian you cannot be black-pilling. That doesn't mean walking around with rose-colored glasses all the time, but this "what's the point we're all doomed" stuff isn't allowed. This fretting about every new scrap of information or the latest manipulation psy-op isn't allowed. It isn't allowed because God knows it's bad for us spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

(Side note that the people who do attempt to emotionally manipulate people using these techniques are just awful people. They are deliberately inflicting psychological stress on others to advance their agenda.)

Once God put this on my heart (fortunately prior to Covid) I lost all fear, it just disappeared. It certainly wasn't me doing it, as I've done plenty of pointless worrying in my life. It was God telling me I'm just not allowed to do it anymore and taking away the desire to do it. Truly a miracle.

God bless Paige, and prayers for your husband.

In AA they have a saying that they are "grateful alcoholics". What they mean by that is that their alcoholism forced them to confront their character flaws and God used that experience to change them. He uses all things to work together for our good (Rom 8:28).

In AA I also learned my favorite prayer as following it solves of so much human misery:

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

So much unhappiness is caused by people raging against things they cannot control, or putting up with destructive things they can control. This behavior is at the heart of mental illness and literally drives people to drink (as AA figured out 90 years ago).

This isn't aimed specifically at your husband as I don't know what his situation is and don't mean to imply anything. But as a former drunk/drug addict who was on the road to ruin at a young age, these insights changed my life. So much so I'm sure the people who taught me it were sent from God. If we cannot change something (or even if we can but are unwilling to do so) then we must accept it. We cannot fret, worry, or rage about things beyond our control as it's what literally drives people crazy, or at a minimum makes them very unhappy.

Paul directly speaks to this in Philippians 4:

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

God promises us the "peace that surpasses all understanding" if we trust in Him with thanksgiving. It's an awesome promise that changes lives.

Putting it on on-the-ground terms, when we deprive those who seek to control us through fear they then have no fuel to penetrate our minds, perpetrate their control mechanisms and thus perpetuate their embedded systemic stranglehold on the wide swath of the not afeared.

Being at peace might not feel like courage, but it stands a good chance of being interpreted that way from the outside looking in. Courage is contagious. "How do you do it?", "Aren't you frightened?" provides an opening &c to be a shepherd, yes? Managed with social skill, what an opportunity to be in service to humanity!

Yes, they occasionally play a relatively unimportant story straight, in order to make all the other bullshit more legitimate. Therefore give no countenance to this "Toilet Paper of Record", it is like polls, there to set a narrative, not report facts.

Re: J6 narrative. There was no insurrection, there was a Federal Bureau of Insurrections Fauxsurrection. Anytime one talks about J6, you must always lead and finish with the fact that it was a fauxsurrection.

In between those facts, you must state more facts, there were somewhere between 300,000 and 500,000 Americans there that day who went there to exercise their 1st Amendment right to speech and to petition their government to check the results of a clearly tainted election. The FBI, and other deep state operatives, infiltrated the rally and conducted the clearly fake fauxsurrection. Judas Benedict Pence failed us, as did our senators and representatives, who didn't stand back up after their fauxsurrection was finished (remember, the fauxsurrection "finished" without even the hair of one "senator" or "representative" even being mis-combed, let alone Pelosi's, or other's head on a Pike). So they all were part of the coup d'etat. And they all allowed the faux committee to conduct their faux-vestigation which was clearly established, scripted, and conducted for the outcome they would falsely report and which is still falsely reported to this day. They could have stopped it, they chose not to.

Excellent! Also I don't think we are as divided as the deep state wants us to think we are. Look at all of Trump's rallies from Just this year. His tent is ever expanding. People from many backgrounds Are coming together.

Trump's Transition team is brilliant and necessary. They will all work to unite us, as "We, the People " will help also.

I remind everyone of what Trump said while leaving DC in January 2021:

" The best is yet to come."

Until this year, I've always said, " This isn't it."

I think this article

is fear mongering to some extent. There is no new data to support the idea of extreme riots.

If Trump wins by a landslide, I think there will be few incidents.

The political polls are useless. The gambling polls are more realistic to the true sentiments of the people.

My crystal ball tells me. LANDSLIDE ;)

Linda, while Im praying for the outcome you predict, I cannot avoid what my brain is telling me.

Of course, I think Trump will win in a landslide, before they manipulate the vote with massive, wholesale mail in ballot fraud tomorrow and all throughout Tuesday. And they will tell us they cannot post the final results for several days. And at the end of it, they will, if necessary, use the ability of the programmable machines in the back offices of election departments and Secretary of State offices to "get the numbers where they need to be". And then we will get gaslighted like we have never been before from a complicit media and government "officials". Corrupt "Judges" will not hear any evidence. The will use the weaponized DOJ, FBI, and law enforcement agencies around the country to incarcerate anyone who dare stand up against the theft of the election.

If you don't see the crazy left rioting, it is because they have not been given the permission to do so, because the fix will be in.

If you know they stole 2018, 2020, and 2022, why would they then not steal 2024? They MUST steal 2024, it is existential for all of them.

If we somehow pull out a win against all odds, then all of must drop to our knees and thank God for interceding. And then go about restoring His law over our domain.

One quick question man to woman: We are told women will come out in droves to vote for abortion rights and the first female president (that was hard for me to even type.) But, I would very much love to hear your take on this as a woman and would love to know your age, at least within a range, marital status, education status? And the same from any other woman who might read this post?

Pelosi took advantage of Trump's scheduled rally to foment an "invasion" then use it as an excuse to deny two or three legitimate state-level challenges to election certification issued by GOP representatives - if I recall they were Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and Mo Brooks.

Pelosi drove the certification through, denying any legitimate debate in the House.

Step back a few feet, look at the sequence of events, consider the denied requests for increased police and/or National Guard protection, and it becomes obvious what Queen Nancy did.

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

Morning Roger,

Yes, Pelosi was very much a part of the conspiracy but she was far from the only one. I would tell you the video of her in her car proclaiming she is responsible for not sending the guard was just more of the PSYOP to convince everyone it was an insurrection (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/pelosi-insurrection-new-video-again-shows-nancy-pelosi .) I mean think about it, if she deploys them, she doesn't get the fauxsurrection she clearly needed to prosecute Trump and attempt to destroy MAGA,the massive nationalist populist movement which would destroy what she and the rest of the criminals in DC have built against us. Trump got 75 Million votes (I submit he got way more than 75), they tell us biden got 81 million. Bullshit. He may have gotten 60 million and they conjured 21 million more in the dark of night and through mail in ballot fraud and machine number changing.

Remember, FBI agent Steven D'Angelo (now conveniently retired and I bet with a massive payoff), the leader of the infamous FBI led, faux attack on Whitmer, was moved to the FBI's DC field office in Nov/Dec timeframe of 2020. He was brought there to plan and conduct the J6 Operation. They had over a month to plan, man, equip, rehearse the fauxsurrection. In the Army, we could plan, rehearse, and conduct a Brigade sized detailed, complex plan in a few days.

The entire deep state apparatus was involved in the J6 operation and 95% of congress too. I mean if they cared enough to challenge the results before the fauxsurrection, why would they not demand an investigation of what happened in the election after the fauxsurrection. Some will say they were intimidated and silenced. I suppose that is possible, but it I think they were all involved, and their part of the act was to stage the challenge to the election and then cower away. You can be certain the operation was highly compartmentalized, not everyone knew everything, but those who needed to know, knew... and played their role. All of DC hates Trump, they hate MAGA who believe this country was actually created of, by, and for the people - they love the life they have at the expense of the people. They conjured and used the pLandemic to remove him and the MAGA movement in a blatant coup d'etat.

The DNC Is rich with modifying the truth:

- doctoring film and voice during the first impeachment trial.

- lying and altering a tweet from a Trump supporter regarding the “Calvary” is coming (first impeachment trial).

- rewrote Biden’s “garbage” comment, violation of official conduct as it was counter to the government appointed stenographer.

- destroyed Bernie Sanders in the 2016 democratic primaries by changing the California primary date.

- gave Hillary the questions for a democratic debate which helped sink Bernie.

- kicked Biden off the ticket.

- kept Biden’s mental health away from the American people.

- malfeasance of duty by allowing entrance into the USA without proper procedures.

- production of a fake claim regarding Hunter’s laptop.

- refusing to prosecute Hillary regarding her illegal server and emails (FBI is responsible for bringing charges)

- refusing to prosecute Biden for taking classified documents illegally.

... and much more.

I’ll add

-tried to misquote Trump multiple times throughout this campaign, most recently in regards to Liz Cheney

-took Trump out of context dozens more times to fit a propaganda narrative and defame Trump’s true image, exactly like the “very fine people” hoax

-gave Kamala questions ahead of her own debates and conspired with the networks and moderators to only factcheck the Republican nominee, falsely too, but never call out Harris on her lies

- tampered with many areas of the election and voting processes to suppress non democrat voters and allow for cheating, finally proven by recent Supreme Court rulings

The list goes on and on yet no examples of any of this kind of fraud comes from the right. Think about that. It’s ALL on the left

Making the assumption that my friends on this feed don't wallow in the filth that Cardi B does, this vile excuse for a human is proud of how she would drug her"clients" and steal from them after they passed out. ( Not that her clients were any paragons of humanity either). She is bottom of the barrel filth, made famous by Tik Tok, the media and hip hop culture and millions of American daughters worship her. I often wondered if Biden actually knew what her song W.A.P. is about. She is as evil as it gets. Perfect surrogate for Harris.

The Left most likely does have a playbook for widely challenging, impeding, delaying certification of the election result should their side not cheat adequately to get KoupMala to "win". Thom Hartmann (Kook Progressive) has been musing over it for years...unlike many Repubs, he saw Trump's return was practically inevitable has been fearful of a Slavish SCOTUS and Rep State Legislatures that would install him despite Leftist Cheating, Rigging, Stealing. The Lefties definitely have been plotting to take countermeasures both widely and in depth. We are fools if we think they won't do the most violent and destructive of things--burning precinct stations, courthouses, assassination attempts, infrastructure attacks, false-flag mass casualty operations, Industrial-scale Legal attacks on anyone and everyone near Trump. They WILL NOT relinquish power without testing every possibility.

Local Libraries and statewide news outlets and other agencies and non-profits in Colorado have been spending time and $$$$ to persuade voters to Trust the Elections--the systems, the individuals, and of course the results. Selling the idea of saving democracy with facts, truth and proper information---at least don't dare allow your mind to think it could be upended or not secure enough.

100%. it's not going to be pretty. they for sure have already inserted the poison pill somewhere in the system to bite on if they see they are not going to win without showing their hand (105% of available votes, or some such). something that will blow up the entire process. it won't get to that if they can steal it without over playing their hand.

Yes, burning drop boxes in their controlled areas can be a precursor of system disruptions to cause delays, question results, etc but they've always stressed things are secure ENOUGH, accurate ENOUGH, reflective ENOUGH to certify...but if 2500+ ballots are burned in a solid Blue precinct we must assume they were for KawMawLaw right? the undercounts due to vandalism must lead us all to conclude Trump in no way won or should be president.
