Byron Donalds is indeed awesome.

During the scamdemic (2021) he skipped the Jab saying he was immune from prior covid infection.

He fought mask and Jab mandates, causing anguish in his south-western Florida district.

He's articulate and takes the battle to the commies.

The Hershey Medical Center did provide Religious Exemptions, however , it was very difficult to obtain and unless one had a good lawyer to back them up, did they provide the exemption….in our case….after many, many hours of screening all the paperwork and complicated and twisted questions the hospital asked and having a lawyer to support our case….we were given the exemption. It felt like planning for a trial…..it was exhausting.

I can never ever forgive Trump for cowing to the political elites and the NWO who want to depopulate the world.

That was exactly when I stopped being a Trump supporter.

Don't ever forget: (1) Trump's proudest accomplishment is the DeathJab, and (2) Trump dropped ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as soon as Pfizer opened its demonic wallet and asked "How much?"

Trump is a sleeper Deep State candidate and always has been. He appointed no one except Swamp Creatures to his administration. (Paging Chris Wray!) He has demagogued a bunch of stupid people (including myself) to believe he was fighting the NWO, when in fact he was conning us all.

His greatest accomplishment was the DeathVax. And he stands by that to this very minute.

But his greatest con? Convincing ppl like me to believe he was on our side.

I think my comments and questions remain: are you opting not to vote? If not, whom will you vote for? At the top level we can say that Trump is a *nationalist* who pursued controlled borders, pulled us out of WHO, renegotiated horrible trade deals, and got our NATO "allies" to pay up. That's more than enough for me.

My wife and I voted for him, attended his rallies, and wore his name on our bumpers.

But we will NEVER support his genocide of the DeathVax. He must at least acknowledge this.

In the meantime, it remains to be seen whether I will even vote in this sham. If it were held today, I'd vote for DeSantis - but that's not going to matter, because TRUMP refused to stop the steal.

He's a Deep State DeathVax fraud. He's not who you think he is.

Au contraire mon ami, he is exactly who I think he is. He is a deeply flawed man who supported the death vax, appointed a bunch of RINOS, often speaks rudely, had little opportunity (or legal power) to stop the steal, and has many other flaws. He also believes in America, acts in our national interest, opposes neocon wars, and negotiates better than almost any man alive.

I agree with you on the vax. I think Trump was surrounded on all sides with people against his success. As a political novice you have to depend on some people for guidance.

Momcat's avatar

at the time, Trump talking about the coming vaxx was amazing, it would keep us all safe. I believed it. and Democrats wouldn't take the Trump Vaxx, so that made it better... then we found out, there were cheap everyday drugs that Fauci & Birx were condemning. I don't think Trump knew the truth about the vaxx. Pence was in charge & maybe kept things from Trump. I felt Trump did a good job having news conferences every day & talking about the other cheaper, everyday drugs, & other treatment options. He sent the hospital ship to NY, but Cuomo wouldn't use it. Franklin Graham set up medical services, Cuomo wouldn't allow them to be used either. Democrats were using people's fears, while Trump was giving hope. I don't believe for one minute Trump would have mandated it. I don't fault him one bit because the vaxx would have been an option, available only if we wanted it. I think if Biden hadn't cheated, he would have managed to get the cheap options available, too.

Pfizer committed fraud. They said the jab was 96% effective or whatever. They LIED!! I agree. Trump should denounce the jab or at least stop talking about it but he made decisions based on the jab being effective but Pfizer falsified data and that is not Trump's fault. And like you said, Pence may have kept things from Trump. Trump is not a virologist and did not create the jab.

As you point out, on a personal level, forgiveness is a practice to keep our hearts/souls healthy and not harbor ongoing hatred. This is not to be confused with meting out the consequences for the evil crimes that have been committed by our enemies. This is not only necessary. It is commanded. True law must be enforced.

If a brother in Christ sins against us and then asks for forgiveness, we will forgive him as Christ forgives us for our failings no matter how many times he sins against us. Forgiveness is not for the unrepentant and the demon motivated. Christ who forgives our sins will sit in judgment on the children of Satan and will condemn them. As such He sets the example for us.

Civilly, the law will not "forgive" the convicted law breaker. There must be consequences in society or we will lose in this war we find ourselves in.

Do not confuse the two.

daverkb's avatar

Yes, forgiveness is not an exemption from evil deeds. It is not a pardon of the crime. We, of course, may forgive the repentant. And still, the civil magistrate is commanded by Scripture to be 'a terror to evil doers'.

One does not love thy neighbor by soft-peddling, enabling, or plain out ignoring criminal activity. We love our neighbor, and the strength of a nation, by affirming the administration of justice by upholding and defending God's Law Order. We do this not only by the courts, but with a consciousness of righteousness in the conduct of our daily affairs.

Luke 17:3 states he who repents must be forgiven

Luke 13:3 states we must repent to be forgiven.

Acts 3:19 states we must repent, BE SORROWFUL (and change the way we do things if we're truly repentant) to be forgiven.

But those verses do not address how we choose to forgive those who have sinned against us without repentance. Jesus teaches us in the Lord's prayer, "forgive us our sins/trespasses as we forgive those who sin/trespass against us." Nothing about repentance...

I don't wait for someone who has wronged me or others I love to decide if I'm going to forgive them. To do that is to keep ruminating over that sin and the pain, thus keeping the "poison" in my system. Christ didn't wait for those He healed to repent of their sins, He healed and forgave them, then told them to "go and sin no more."

I choose to forgive without repentance. If that repentance never comes, I'm ok. My forgiveness isn't based on that. What I don't do is continue to trust that relationship....

I’ve been to Bible school where we studied the Bible inside and out. Context. Historical events, and time periods when the Bible was written. Old and New Testament references. You have a great grasp on what scripture actually teaches on forgiveness. I see on this thread some misinterpretation of what forgiveness is and how we approach it. It’s very easy to think we only forgive when we are asked for forgiveness. Couldn’t be further from the truth. I appreciate your solid biblical interpretation of this matter.

But, if we do not vote, we have played right into their hands.

There was a discussion about this in our state election integrity group the other day.

Options:

1. Don’t vote. They will win.

2. Vote. They will cheat, and they might win. Or, they will cheat, but miscalculate the cheat needed (as in 2016), and we will win.

Did you know that with electronic poll books the county election office and the machine vendors know in real time if and when you vote? As can nefarious actors. So if you don't vote, a ghost vote can be cast in your name.

We cannot quit. It takes ALLLLLL of us.

Join your state's election integrity group, attend county election board meetings, find out local and state laws (can your county clerk choose to return to paper ballots, for instance?), advocate for return to single day voting, on paper, in person except for overseas military and those physically incapable of getting to the polls, and precinct voting rather than countywide vote centers (if your county has fallen for that).

All great suggestions. Voters have been fed information in the past through various media. First, it was the town crier, then notices posted on walls, then the newspapers, then the talking box. It never occurred to any of us during the growth of TV reporting that that information was inaccurate at best and total propaganda at worst. Our eyes are open. The world is changing and the way we get accurate information is just that. We must search out credible sources, talk to our like-minded friends about where they get their information, share your information, if necessary, and help them navigate the new world of online information. Challenging our opposite-minded friends with our thoughts should be included and if they get hostile, turn around, bid them a good day and leave. I think we MUST stop repeating the phrase ā€œnever discuss politics or religion.ā€ That habit alone helped the snakes slither under the door when we weren’t looking. We’ve become lazy and would rather let everyone tell us what to think than to think ourselves. Oh yes, it’s work searching for information and not everyone has the time to do so but that’s when discussions come into play. Work and persistence is what will help us save our Republic.

IMO, the only chance we have (at the national level) is for the Trump camp and the DeSantis camp to join forces. This will unite the entire American populist liberty movement into one irresistible force. If there is one thing the Bolsheviks fear more than anything else, it is a united American populace as an enemy. I don't see any other way of overcoming the ballot cheating which will be even more organized than last time.

I promise you, if Trump gets into office, there will a bloodletting of unprecedented proportions as Trump relentlessly hunts down the Bolsheviks that have taken over the USG.

The Don and Ron show sounds like a dream duo but Ron DeSantis is a force unto himself. He is fine tuning himself into a great leader. If he disassociates himself from the Rinos and stays his own course, learns strategy and negotiation skills from Trump, listens to and calculates the needs of Floridians, continues to make his name well-known around the country and world, we will be voting for him for POTUS some day. Kari Lake was mentioned. Talk about a force. She deserves to be Governor.

Indeed. His big test will be, can he support Trump without lying about and denigrating DeSantis.

His second test will be governance, in which he is untested. Is he competent at an acting change and taking down left ism with practical and workable policies? This is where DeSantis is the king of kings, proven. DeSantis even beats Trump in dealing with disaster relief and logistics, which is not an easy thing to do.

yes, thanks for that reminder; President Trump was wary of overreaction initially, wanted us in church for Easter Sunday deployed hospital ships and military and amped up ventilator production all on "best" advice of those around him; he was open to HCQ as a potential therapy and was bludgeoned for it and so much so that globally HCQ was attacked as a problem almost worse than CoVid or opioids.

The Times’ reporter described the audience’s responses as ā€œa laugh track on a sitcom,ā€ and said the New Hampshire attendees ā€œaudibly ate up the shtick of the decades-long showman.ā€ā€

Yep so typical. Dripping with contempt for average Americans who don’t fawn over NYT reporters and their ilk and dare to support a candidate not approved by the elite šŸ™„ I think it’s worse seeing people fawning over Biden’s incoherent drivel. And talk about a decades long showman. Biden has been a lying, cheating taxpayer funded pretender for pretty much his entire life.

šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘ Byron Donalds! Nice to see some new(er) conservative faces making strong arguments and showing the legacy media’s buffoons for the brainless idiots they are.

ā€”ā€œTrump: ā€œOur country is being destroyed by stupid people.ā€

He forgot evil. Stupid and evil.

ā€”ā€œwere more rattled than Carmen Miranda’s favorite maracas.ā€

🤣🤣🤣

Your similes and metaphors are always the BEST, Jeff!! 😁 So creative and so apt! Might have to use them as examples for my homeschool English lessons šŸ˜šŸ˜†

Couldn't agree more! Yes, I am glad Trump calls them out for being morons, but I do wonder why he hasn't pointed out that they are just plain evil yet.

The federal government is akin to metastatic pancreatic cancer that has spread to all other major organs in the body. Even Dr. Mengele would refuse to treat at this point.

Trump a true Peace-Hawk; a Reaganesque Foreign Policy-- that ALONE should qualify him to lead the WEST while neo-libs can continue pursuing graft, societal ruination and statewide and local Marxist endeavors (Just like the 1980s). REMEMBER--the Dems and Libs HATED that the USSR collapsed!!! They despised Reagan, Thatcher, PJP II, They also didn't know how to truthfully handle the narrative of Lech Walensa, and all the other dissidents that spoke against tyranny and Soviet Imperialism. Perhaps this is why it was a far easier route to more rapidly and rabidly Empower a more Ruthless China (Tiananman Square) than to reconstruct a shambles of SSRs under a liberalizing Russian nation. The timeline of this switcheroo seems possible but I'm not brilliant and educated and a loyal Globalist Lap-Dog like Albright or Rice (sorry lap-dogs).
