I'm actually way better off now than I was in 2019. Not because of anything Trump or Biden did, but because I made a decision to leave all and follow Him. If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 He has blessed me above and beyond anything I could've hoped for. Even when the odds said I should've been out for the count, He worked miracles and rescued me.
Yep that is the best way to recover from Post Dramatic Stress Disorder, simply walk away from the Main Stream Media. Get into the word, into prayer, into worship and into fellowship.

I don't know anything about stock market either. I'm old school like that, for better or worse.
I know real estate investment but i don't like to play educated guesses in the casino ...errr ... i mean stock markets.
I know you can make millions in stocks, but it's just not for me.

USA is blessed with abundance despite the doom and gloom news we hear daily.
This agrees with my observation, but it is a very, very unpopular thing to say. In fact it has been quite unpopular all my life, for some reason I still cannot quite comprehend.

The problem is that if you live by the sword you die by the sword. In 2008 we saw Lehman brothers go bankrupt overnight. One day you can own a million dollars worth of stock, the next day it can be 0. That may sound extreme but there are many people who own stock on margin, so if it drops 50% they lose 100%.

Proverbs says the wise person sees the trouble coming and takes action.

What quotable quotes do you have on people who keep hollering about trouble coming for decades?

What have you got on people who seem to relish and thrive on gloom and despair? Got any snappy sayings for that?

Decades? Do you have any examples? If you are from the pre-Madonna generation you should have seen firsthand how rapidly these things can collapse.

Let’s be honest. Things are not as bad as the complaining people want it to be. How many of you were better off under Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama? I’m not mentioning Trump or Biden since they’re too close in time.

So c’mon, raise your hand and tell me about how good everything was when those former guys were in command?

No emotional outbursts, you have to document how good things were with solid sources. Obscure TikTok videos, YouTube videos etc, left wing/right wing media outlets and etc don’t count. It has to be peer reviewed scientifically verified sources.
Or Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama were all criminals too?? 🤷‍♀️

Biden and kamala are just too stupid and give it away. The others were much more secretive about it. That's why a picture of Clinton in a blue dress and bush flying a plane into a building was found in epsteins house. That's why they were even there! Now we get to P diddy...

It takes generations of theft to destroy a country. How many millions are going to Ukraine and illegal immigrants? Illegal immigrants get free housing, food, and 3000 a month per person. They make more than most citizens. Fema even admitted they ran out of money to help the hurricane victims bc they were giving it to illegal immigrants!!

There's more than enough evidence to show how criminal these people are. If you want to shut your eyes and ignore it that's up to you. But ignoring the truth is not from God.

12 days. It took that long?

This thread is finally being overrun with people who like to bash the president, complain about everything political and forecast doom and gloom.

It's about time. I was predicting 27 minutes and it finally happened 12 days later.

Time to move on Susanna. This thread has been assimilated into the gloom hive mind.

Isaiah 61:8 For I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

FEMA using money to house illegals against the will of the American people is "robbery for burnt offering"

These people like to ignore the six decades of misery inflicted upon the country and the world by the assassination of the legitimately elected president, and the installation of a series of puppet presidents from both sides. Crime needs to be paid for - the criminals need to pay.

i prefer to keep this simple. it's strange but every time there's a recession, downturn or political upheaval in the economy, i, significantly do better. that is financially & recreationally! & yes, the saying, "it depends on who you know" still adjusts life' issues for me.

Which doom and gloom in particular?
Yes the land is abundant there is no denying that,

I think we have similar values in terms of living within our means and making good life choices as part of having a good life which undoubtedly the USA can still provide.

However, even it we put aside what is happening in the financial sector and geo-politically you still are concerned about the advent of "idiocracy" do you not think this is a huge reason for concern when a large sector of students are graduating lacking basic math and reading skills?
This will surely doom the USA over time as it looses its competitive edge to other countries.

Which doom and gloom in particular?
The way I understood this, and I may be mistaken, was from Proverbs chapter 1.

20 Wisdom calls aloud [h]outside;
She raises her voice in the open squares.
21 She cries out in the [i]chief concourses,
At the openings of the gates in the city
She speaks her words:
22 “How long, you [j]simple ones, will you love [k]simplicity?
For scorners delight in their scorning,
And fools hate knowledge.
23 Turn at my rebuke;
Surely I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
24 Because I have called and you refused,
I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,
25 Because you disdained all my counsel,
And would have none of my rebuke,
26 I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your terror comes,
27 When your terror comes like a storm,
And your destruction comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.

28 “Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
29 Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 They would have none of my counsel
And despised my every rebuke.
31 Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way,
And be filled to the full with their own fancies.
32 For the [l]turning away of the simple will slay them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely,
And will be [m]secure, without fear of evil.”


I understood the call that it was "time to move on" as a pure disdain for all the counsel being shared.
