Trump maybe knows how to evict tenants,
And closing borders.
but he’s not that good at handling complex problems,
Evicting tenants can be complex.
including different denominations of Muslims, Jews and Christianity.
Why use that as an example?
Add economy in general,
Relative to what, given Trump's history as a businessman? I got back a thousand on yearly taxes, and my sister even more, and she voted for Kamala. SSR and no tax on tips
pair it with oil and Hormuz in particular and the game is stalling and descending like a plane with the nose in the wrong angle.
I am doing OK, and the problems over there should be handled by the countries over there. Under Trump and the Repubs, with drill baby drill, the USA is energy independent. Include Venezuela

I think we're at the point where we can safely say that anyone who continues to support the regime which protects the Epstein class is one the baddies. Morality or pedophiles. The choice isn't hard.
This is all bipolar, suboptimal, even delusional. Dividing it all between the good and the bad guys. Whites include Jews and Israel (bad), and people of color include Palestine (good). Oppressed and oppressors. Typical of the left division of rich and poor, where the moral authority is ceded to the poor. Apex fallacy at its finest, where dead Epstein represents the evil white class and Trump is magically in cahoots because they are both in the evil white class of oppressors against the virtuous oppressed. When it is the left who is in bed with destructionists seeking to tear down America from within with open borders and a host of other policies

Famously, an anti-Israel group at Columbia University has now announced that it’s fighting for “the total eradication of Western civilization.” The best-known of that organization’s co-founders is Darializa Avila Chevalier, who just won the Democratic nomination for a House seat that represents heavily Democratic upper Manhattan and parts of the Bronx. An advocate for the destruction of Western civilization is almost certainly headed for Congress. Insert your own joke here about Congress trying to destroy Western civilization anyway, but she appears to really mean it.

Applied Leftism. The Jews and the Left Batya Ungar-Sargon

And then a cosmic glitch in the matrix: October 7, 2023.

On that dark day, Hamas (Oppressed) invaded Israel (Oppressors) and went on a killing spree. Terrorists chased, murdered, raped, and maimed 1,000 Israelis—men, women, Holocaust survivors, and babies—taking 250 back to Gaza as hostages. On college campuses across America, in the newsrooms of major media outlets, in the cultural centers across the globe, the Left sided with Hamas. The media made excuses for Hamas. Celebrities and influencers posted viciously against Israel. College students demanded that the intifada be globalized. The overwhelming majority of the activism was at the most elite universities.

Supporting Hamas became the latest virtue signal of the educated and the rich. The protesting students, many of whom self-identified as “they/them,” were from the most elite backgrounds; at one point, the daughter of actors Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard was arrested for illegally occupying the Columbia University library. These know-nothings had found a cause that made them, if not themselves members of the oppressed, at least proximate enough to slake the thirst of their oppression envy in a milieu that recognizes oppression as the only form of virtue. Only the abject can be virtuous. Those with privilege can only borrow virtue by justifying every act of the “oppressed”—hence siding with Hamas.

I have to wonder if these have any correlation to the locusts of Rev 9. And as I reviewed the study tools at Bible Hub looking into that possibility, I considered what significance the 'five months' timeline might offer when I found the first commentary under the heading, "Revelation: Apocalyptic Measurements of Mercy and Wrath"

1. Five-month torments (Revelation 9:5, 9:10) mirror the natural lifespan of the desert locust, indicating a judgment that is both intense and strictly bounded by divine decree.

And I've taken some comfort in realizing that the areas plagued by locusts might also be confined by demographics as much as lifespan.

Yup.

Elica Le Bon figured it out in 2026, it's over for the left, praise Jesus.

Was reminded of this post when listening to Charlie Kirk murder hearings, where the judges' decisions are scrutinized from every angle, and the interesting analogy of a swarm of locusts

Okay, so Donald gave the big prime-time address last night in which he encouraged people to go to whitehouse.gov to view all the documents which he says prove election interference in the 2020 election. Here's the link. It says "View documents," but actually you have to download them.


Most of the documents are heavily redacted, especially the ones on China. So how is anyone supposed to glean any truth from documents that are mostly redacted? If there was anything in any of those documents that actually proves he should've won, you can bet it would be unredacted and blasted everywhere. Seems to me like more conspiracy theories and sour grapes.

Trump Speech 7/16. Every Intelligence Chief vetted this speech for accuracy.


Summary of President Trump's July 16, 2026 primetime address on election integrity:
  • Election system is fundamentally broken and vulnerable: Trump claimed the current U.S. voting system is "catastrophically" insecure, exposed to widespread cheating, non-citizen voting, and foreign interference — especially by China, which he said carried out "the largest compromise of election data in history" in 2020 by obtaining voter files. He described it as an "election security nightmare" and said intelligence documents (now declassified and released) prove shocking vulnerabilities in infrastructure.

    theguardian.com

  • Past elections compromised: He raised doubts about the 2020 presidential election (which he lost) and 2018 midterms, alleging interference, suppression of information by U.S. intelligence, and that the system allowed rigging. He positioned this as part of a broader pattern that threatens fair elections unless fixed.
  • Urgent need for the SAVE America Act: Trump called on Congress to pass the bill requiring photo ID, proof of citizenship for voter registration, and severe limits on mail-in ballots (only for illness, disability, military, or travel). He argued this is essential to prevent cheating, protect midterms, and "guarantee" Republican victories long-term, framing opposition as wanting to cheat.
  • The speech focused heavily on these themes to build support for stricter voting laws ahead of the 2026 midterms.

What's pretty amusing is, of all the elections Donald has been in, the only one he says was rigged was the one that happened when he was in the White House. 2016, Obama, and nothing was rigged. 2024, Biden, that one wasn't rigged either. I guess he must've been asleep at the switch in 2020.
 
I stopped voting long ago, Jesus is the way, truth and life. Read Jude and then dare to speak evil about any leader.

Jude
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

Peter cared about the things of this world and the Lord rebuked him to the point of calling him Satan. We should all know who the 'god' of this 'world' is and we should know the difference between something man has written and what God has written.

Matthew 16
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
