The Donald is full of ideas; unfortunately, he's clueless when it comes to understanding the consequences of them.

For example, tariffs. He has proposed ridiculously high tariffs on China and Mexico. Sounds great, right? Let's stick it to 'em. However, tariffs are paid by importers in the US, not the exporters. The money goes to the federal government, and the cost is passed along to consumers. Tariffs can hurt the exporting countries to a certain extent though. If Chinese goods end up costing consumers more, there will be less of a demand for them. This is great if there are US manufacturers to step in and fill the gap at competitive prices. But this could take many years; and in the end, their products will probably still end up costing more. People love to complain about products not made in the USA until it starts taking a bite out of their purse. Someone like Trump, who has no comprehension of what it means to live in global world, has no business making decisions like this.

Or how about the mass deportation of illegals. Sounds great until you actually start trying to implement it. Can you imaging the national guard roaming the streets and countryside rounding them up. Then putting them in cages. The media would have a field day; and I seriously doubt people would just stand by and watch. As Trump himself has said, "It will be a bloody affair." The outcome of something like this would be far worse for the country than the situation now with illegals coming in. This calls for wisdom, not bravado.

Donald lives in his head. He doesn't seem to have to ability to understand the unintended consequences of his so-called great ideas. He lacks the discipline to be president of the US. He thinks it, so he acts. Just ask all the women who have been molested by him.

"Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. " - Elon Musk
BTW.....your Republic is on the brink buddy. Wakey wakey.

(1) Elon Musk on X: "Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it! Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast" / X

Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election.
Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!

Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years.

The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!! Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers”, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election.

America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over.

The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries.

This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty.

The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America.

Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape. Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.

Hasn’t Donald a plan for getting the economy to grow? Looks like what he is proposing will make us poorer. If he had a plan he wouldn’t be operating like a scarecrow on Halloween when addressing the electorate.

yes, I agree with you on Ananias and Sapphira but we don't know if those three were doing the same. they could have just had a difference of opinion like Peter and Paul.
Just to let you know....

You will never understand Acts 4 & 5 if you do not first recognize the correlation to Ex 32....!

Exo 32:28
And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

Under Trump I was looking at 1.4% inflation, a tax break that increased my income, a more secure border and my 401K nearly doubled. Under Biden we are still dealing with the effects of high inflation, an illegal immigration invasion of America and soft on crime policies. During my 30 + years at the Post Office, it was common to see cost of living raises (we get 2 annually) that are typically around $400-$800 a year. When inflation peaked under Biden, we got 3 cost of living raises back-to-back that were like $1300 $1900 and $2400, which were unheard of prior to that during my career!

Has anyone seen the movie, "Vindicating Trump" yet?

There you go buddy. Take about 10-12 hours of your time and find out the TRUTH.
The common fallacies going around are insulting to God and absurd.

The Lie: Ananias and Sapphira. Let's find out just how bad it is. It's bad!
I thought he was very insightful in connecting Melchizedek, Abraham and the King of Sodom with Slavery, and connecting Acts 5 with the Judas kiss and the attempt to kill Peter. I also thought taking this angle on a discussion of Joel to be a very fruitful approach. However it took him 27 minutes to say that much, it could have easily been said in 2 minutes and the other 25 minutes was torture listening to him talk about his car, the TV shows he likes, and particle board.

Another thing:
There is a DIVIDING going on in Acts 4 & 5.
Similar to the sheep and the goats. Life from death. Good from evil. Light from darkness.

How did Peter know that all of this was going down? And yes, Peter knew. EVERYTHING.

Here is another OT parallel......2 Kings 6:24 thru 7:2.

One MUST correlate Acts 4 & 5 to ALL relevant OT passages to get the accurate picture.
Is this being taught in the Church today? No. No it is not.

Evidently nobody really cares. A sign of the times is it not?

In George Orwell's "1984," the Two Minutes Hate is a daily event that takes place at 6:55 a.m. sharp in the Ministry of Truth1. During this ritual, the members of the society are required to gather together in front of a telescreen and watch a film depicting the enemy of the state, Donald Trump.

RA is such a good little citizen of the state. Probably a class -A snitch, like all good citizens should be.

Look forward to your two minutes of hate tomorrow morning RA!

He is probably looking for government stimmies, welfare, government cheese and free housing and snap cards.
Selling your freedom for peanuts is a very bad idea.

BTW.....God is ALWAYS exalting individual FREEDOM. Of thought and action.
Empowering government to impose slavery is abhorrent to God and man. But it happens.
And it is happening right before our very eyes.
In America no less.
