The Amazing Mr. Trump Goes To Washington – And Kicks A... August 27, 2018 by DCWhispers So goes the praise for President Trump after his administration concluded a remarkably successful round of trade negotiations with Mexico. This is but one of many such deals the Trump White House has forged and there appears to be no sign of slowing down as Mr. Trump’s ‘America First’ agenda continues to rumble its way through ongoing political and media opposition. Via Fox News: Trump says he’s ‘terminating’ NAFTA, announces new trade agreement with Mexico President Trump on Monday said he plans to terminate the existing North American Free Trade Agreement, as he announced a new tentative agreement between the United States and Mexico that he described as “one of the largest trade deals ever made.” “I’ll be terminating the existing deal and going into this deal,” the president said in the Oval Office, calling it a “big day for trade.” But the president said Monday “we’ll see” if Canada can still be part of the trade pact, leaving open the possibility of separate agreements. “We are starting negotiations with Canada pretty much immediately,” Trump said. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1033343857675644928 …“They used to call it NAFTA, we are going to call it the United States-Mexico Trade Agreement, and we will get rid of the name NAFTA,” Trump said. “It has a bad connotation because the United States was hurt very badly by NAFTA.” Trump on Monday called it “one of the largest trade deals ever made.” The U.S. and Mexico have been working to resolve key differences on issues ranging from automobiles to energy. Donald Trump is working harder than any president has in the modern era to put the needs of the American people first and not the special interests that infest the corridors of power in Washington D.C. For this, Mr. Trump remains enemy #1 of the anti-American globalist regimes (paid largely by Chinese powers) that include such media entities as CNN, The New York Times, and much of Hollywood. Unemployment is down, job creation is up, and fantastic new trade deals are on the way – very big wins for all Americans. Which means that those who oppose President Trump also oppose a stronger and more unified United States. http://dcwhispers.com/the-amazing-mr-trump-goes-to-washington-and-kicks-ass/ -------- http://dcwhispers.com/todays-must-see-cartoon-potus-trumps-checkmate-negotiations-with-mexico/

August 27, 2018 by DCWhispers What has been going on in South Africa is horrifying. Mayhem and murder have become the norm as the South African government openly condones the mistreatment of certain segments of its population. People are being attacked, raped, murdered, and run off their own land while the world media says nothing. A historically troubled nation has become even more so. Please watch and share. It is up to all of you to get the word out regarding what is happening in South Africa today https://youtu.be/tnTMTHZoI7Q http://dcwhispers.com/must-watch-video-south-african-thanks-potus-trump-for-speaking-the-truth-regarding-horrific-violence-in-south-africa-today/
This is the handwritten prayer written by Dwight D. Eisenhower the day before his Presidential Inaugural. Written on the back of hotel stationary, this is the hand-written version of the prayer that Dwight Eisenhower prayed before giving his Inaugural address.
https://wallbuilders.com/dwight-d-eisenhowers-inaugural-prayer/ ------ 1953 Presidential Inauguration Dwight David Eisenhower took the oath of office on Tuesday, January 20, 1953. The oath was administered by Chief justice Frederick Moore Vinson. Before delivering his inaugural address, the President offered a prayer, the text of which follows: "My friends, before I begin the expression of those thoughts that I deem appropriate to this moment, would you permit me the privilege of uttering a little private prayer of my own. And I ask that you bow your heads. Almighty God, as we stand here at this moment my future associates in the Executive branch of Government join me in beseeching that Thou will make full and complete our dedication to the service of the people in this throng, and their fellow citizens everywhere. Give us, we pray, the power to discern clearly right from wrong, and allow all our words and actions to be governed thereby, and by the laws of this land. Especially we pray that our concern shall be for all the people regardless of station, race or calling. May cooperation be permitted and be the mutual aim of those who, under the concepts of our Constitution, hold to differing political faiths; so that all may work for the good of our beloved country and Thy glory. Amen." Watch - Dwight D. Eisenhower taking the 1953 Presidential Oath of Office 1953 Inaugural Address The two and one-half hour inaugural parade was witnessed by an estimated 1 million persons, of whom 60,000 were in the grandstand in seats ranging in price from $3 to $15, according to location. About 22,000 service men and women and 5,000 civilians were in the parade, which included 50 state and organization floats costing $100,000. There were also 65 musical units, 350 horses, 3 elephants, an Alaskan dog team, and the 280-millimeter atomic cannon. It was the most elaborate inaugural pageant ever held. 1953 Inaugural Parade Procession Identification In addition to a governors' reception for 3,000 invited guests, there were two inaugural festivals, one at the Uline Arena for 11,000 persons, and one at the Capitol Theater for 3,500 persons. Tickets ranged in price from $3 to $12. Forty stars of stage, screen, and TV participated in the celebration. In the evening two inaugural balls were held, one at the National Guard Armory and the other at the gymnasium of McDonough Hall at Georgetown University. 1953 Inaugural Trivia: • The first time an entire official family attended church services with an incoming President was on January 20, 1953, when President-elect Eisenhower and his staff attended a pre-inaugural service at the National Presbyterian Church on Connecticut Avenue, Washington, D.C. The Reverend Edward L. R. Elson, pastor of the church, conducted the service. • Eisenhower broke with custom by reciting his own improvised prayer instead of kissing the Bible. • The oath was administered by Chief Justice Frederick Vinson on the East Portico of the U.S. Capitol. • The temperature was 49 degrees with cloudy skies. • The Bible was open to Psalm 127, Verse 1 and Second Chronicles Chapter 7, Verse 14 during the 1953 inauguration.

Back on the 16th of this month, I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of our paper and any evidence of the planned, nationwide journalistic attack that was supposed to have been waged against our president that day. The most I could see was a column they had picked up from the Times’ Kathleen Parker. And it was just more of her pitiful anti-Trump tantrum. The spirit of liberal writers like her and Maureen Dowd reminds me of swearing contests I used to take part in behind my uncle’s barn when I was in elementary school. The idea, of course, was to say something that would shock your competition. And that’s where liberal commentary is pretty much parked these days. It is all meaningless schlock for shock. The left, ‘libs’, democrats - call them what you will - are simply in the middle of a fit they are throwing in order to get on with the business of being good followers. The primary tool of leftist politics - whether it’s on the street or in the Capitol Building - is just finding stuff to hurl - baseless accusations morphing into a mob mentality. ‘Nonconformity’, to a liberal is wearing your ballcap backwards. Anything touching true originality or individual thinking scares the heck out of your rank and file leftist who is all about being a star member of the mob. The left - from Stalin, to Mao, to Hitler, to Barack and Hillary - is all about rioting, without a thought of long-term consequences. Sometime back, a team was put together to somehow retrofit Donald Trump into a plot with the Russians to keep Hillary from becoming president. Since then we have discovered that Hillary even helped to finance the creation of the bulk of ‘evidence’ that could photoshop Donald Trump into that plot. Nothing has been done to Hillary or the DNC or James Comey or anyone else, regarding the invention of that ‘evidence’ that today remains entirely a lie. Over the past fifteen months at least four lives have been touched and ruined by the investigation that President Trump has rightly always called a ‘witchhunt’. And nothing has brought anybody any closer to confirming the stupid notion that our President was ‘colluding’ (I didn’t want to use that word) with the Russians and/or that such collusion (there it is again, sorry) had anything to do with Hillary losing twice. However, now complete and total immunity has been promised to a Trump CFO in exchange for his hopefully saying anything about some hush money that might have been paid to a prostitute - information that they hope will put Donald Trump out of the White House and maybe even behind bars. And so there is the extent of - the completely defining moment, if you will - showing what this fifteen month total waste of our time and money has been all about: The left simply wants Donald Trump gone. They don’t give a damn about the Russians interfering with our election. Of course not. The Clintons and Obama have left enough damning evidence behind them to put them in prison and probably to lay them out on lethal injection tables for several lifetimes. But Donald Trump is guilty of having had the audacity to begin to lead this nation out of the cesspool it has been in for decades. He has spotlighted the demonic partnership that exists between professional politicians and big-money liberal media/entertainment. The people at the top - who have no intention of losing what they have - don’t care how stupid or dishonest anyone looks after the job is done : he must be destroyed. AT ANY COST, DONALD TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED. And THAT is what this whole CIRCUS has been about, from the start! https://canadafreepress.com/article/lest-we-forget-what-this-is-really-all-about Why would the Deep State risk prolonging the Mueller investigation? Why does the "investigation" still exist? Aug 26, 2019 By Linda Goudsmit The Goliath narrative in 1 Samuel 17 opens with the Philistine army gathered for war against Israel. “Saul and the Israelites are facing the Philistines in the Valley of Elah. Twice a day for 40 days, morning and evening, Goliath, the champion of the Philistines, comes out between the lines and challenges the Israelites to send out a champion of their own to decide the outcome in single combat, but Saul is afraid. David, bringing food for his elder brothers, hears that Goliath has defied the armies of God and of the reward from Saul to the one who defeats him, and accepts the challenge. Saul reluctantly agrees and offers his armor, which David declines, taking only his staff, sling and five stones from a brook.” David and Goliath, perhaps the greatest underdog story ever told, is the biblical saga of the young Israelite shepherd David challenging the giant Philistine Goliath. Tales of this long shot contest have thrilled audiences since biblical times because it features the arrogance of the unbeatable, armored “sure thing” against the boldness of the challenger armed only with a sling shot. David is not intimidated when the towering, smug giant criticizes, taunts, insults, threatens, and laughs at him. So it is in politics! Today the deep state giant Goliath has waged war against America and the only American with the courage to stand against this behemoth to preserve and protect the nation is unlikely combatant President Donald J. Trump. Since announcing himself as a presidential candidate on June 15, 2016, President Trump has been the target of the well-defended, smug, seemingly indestructible deep state Goliath. The deep state and the colluding mainstream media have maligned him, criticized him, insulted him, threatened him, laughed at him, lied about him, lied to him, and now are desperately relying on philistine swamp-denizen Robert Mueller to provide a damning report - just before the midterm elections - that will finally succeed in destroying him. Mueller’s “investigation” has lasted 18 months, cost taxpayers $20 million dollars, and has not yielded a solitary shred of evidence that President Trump colluded with Russians or obstructed justice. In fact, Mueller’s investigation has boomeranged and is now exposing the staggering illegal soft coup waged against POTUS by deep state ex-president Obama and his politicized administration to first delegitimize candidate Trump and then to overthrow him as a president. Why would the Deep State risk prolonging the Mueller investigation? Why does the “investigation” still exist? Why would the Deep State risk prolonging the Mueller investigation? Why does the “investigation” still exist? Its entire reason for being is to empower the court of public opinion and swing the midterm elections in favor of Democrats. If the Republicans lose the House in November they will also lose the chairmanships of key committees - impeachment proceedings against POTUS will commence and Mueller’s investigation will cease. Mueller arrogantly believes he can run out the clock by slow-walking Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests that expose Obama and the deep state involvement in the coup against President Trump. Mueller is not overseeing a proper nonpartisan investigation - he is trying a case in the court of public opinion with the enthusiastic cooperation of the colluding mainstream media and Internet media giants with a stake in the outcome. Just before the midterms Mueller will predictably present a scathing report about the President to the public. Mueller will indict without an indictment and suggest that voters express their outrage at the polls. A midterm victory for Democrats will freeze efforts at transparency in Congress lead by Devin Nunes (R-CA) chair of the House Intelligence Committee, and Jim Jordan (R-OH) Committee on Government Oversight and Reform. Together Nunes and Jordan have been exposing the stunning improprieties of Mueller and his investigators including irregularities, improprieties, illegalities, and outright crimes committed by members of the Obama regime. Mueller’s staff of liars, leakers, and liberals are acting in collusion with current swampster-in-chief Rod Rosenstein to topple the President of the United States! They are described by Judge Jeanine Pirro in her newly released book Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy which details the unprecedented levels of their malfeasance and how they are all trying desperately to stay out of prison themselves! The principals in this drama knew from the very beginning that there was no “there there” - no collusion and no obstruction but that was never Mueller’s mission. Mueller is the finisher charged with poisoning public opinion with innuendo, rumor, speculation, and deliberate misrepresentation to swing the midterm elections against President Trump. The leakers are colluding with the mainstream media to paint a portrait of corruption where they know that none exists. It is character assassination - political murder without bullets. So, why is President Donald J. Trump such a threat to the status quo? Why is Goliath even challenging David? Because President Trump is committed to the Constitution and the rule of law which makes him the archenemy of the deep state. President Trump is an America-first patriot who believes in American strength, sovereignty, and defensible borders. He has said many times that we have no country without borders. Christopher Harris, executive director of Unhyphenated America, lists three things that define a nation: • borders • language • culture and laws Threats to the three foundational elements of any nation are not racist or xenophobic because threats to a nation’s borders, language, culture, and laws are existential threats to the nation itself. Blogger Debbie Saysy comments on Harris’ unapologetic insistence that we must protect what defines us as a nation. She has an interesting perspective that focuses on photos of borders around the world. She remarks, “You can see that the strength and security of various international borders varies greatly, based on the threat to each country, on its language, culture, and laws.” The leftist/Islamist alliance in contemporary American politics represented by the leftist Democrat party threatens all three foundational elements that define our nation. The left is financed and fomented by the globalist elite deep state who publicly reject borders, language, culture, and laws. They fully intend to impose an internationalized, universal one world government with one world marketplace after a socialized America provides them with total government control. The left’s romanticized oneness includes one world without borders, one language, one culture, one set of laws, and one universal educational curriculum that prepares its students to be global citizens. The Islamists are financed and fomented by the oil rich sharia loving Muslim countries who fully intend to re-establish the Islamic caliphate and impose sharia law worldwide. Together they represent the monolithic giant Goliath in our metaphor. They are the twin enemies waging war against the nation and President Donald Trump is the unlikely David that is standing against this monolithic giant armed with only five stones and a slingshot. Let’s examine them. The first stone - the economy. President Trump’s bold economic policy has produced a booming 4% GDP in only 18 months in office. The second stone - foreign policy. President Trump’s fearless unapologetic America-first foreign policy embraces our allies and penalizes our enemies. He has:
The third stone - strengthening the military. President Trump is proudly investing enormous resources to strengthen the United States military that was deliberately weakened under Obama. The fourth stone - bravely renegotiating international agreements so that they are favorable to the USA. This includes renegotiating NAFTA with Mexico and Canada to follow, walking away from TPP and the Paris Accord, and insisting that all NATO countries pay the obligatory 3% GDP for their national defense. The fifth stone - transparency is the most powerful of all. The fatal strike that will bring down Goliath is the exposure of Barack Obama’s criminal participation in the coup to overthrow a sitting president of the United States. It is treason. At the end of the biblical story David hurls the final lethal stone from his sling hitting Goliath in the center of his forehead: “After David strikes Goliath with the stone he runs to Goliath before he dies and Goliath says “Hurry and kill me and rejoice.” and David replies “Before you die, open your eyes and see your slayer.” Goliath sees an angel and tells David that it is not he who has killed him but the angel.” In our contemporary story the angel is our beloved Constitution - no one is above the law including puppet-in-chief Barack Hussein Obama or the deep state who pulls his strings. https://canadafreepress.com/article/david-and-goliath-in-the-court-of-public-opinion Aug 26, 2018 by John Binder
New York Times best-selling author and populist conservative columnist Ann Coulter’s latest book, Resistance is Futile! How the Trump-Hating Left Lost Its Collective Mind, dives into the establishment media’s lies surrounding President Trump and his White House. In an interview with SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily, Coulter debunks five myths with Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow that have been spread about Trump and his campaign: 1. Trump Never Admitted to Sexually Assaulting Women Okay, he uses a bad word, it does sound a little sophomoric … but he’s using the exact same phraseology when he says ‘When you’re a celebrity, you can do anything. You can grab them by the blank. They let you do it.’ Everyone has said it. Anderson Cooper asks it in the debate. Hillary Clinton has said it. A lot of responsible journalists … I have quotes from a slew of them saying, ‘The president admitted to sexual assault on tape.’ And I just want to alert readers, anyone who says that is a stone cold liar. 2. Trump Never Asked Putin to Hack the DNC First, Kimberly Guilfoyle said on The Five: ‘Hey, maybe Trey Gowdy can strike a deal with Putin and get those emails.’ It was a joke. In fact, about two or three Republicans used the same joke in debates. It makes no sense for Trump to talk about hacking those emails, because they were gone. There was nothing to hack. She had wiped them. He said, ‘Mr. Putin, or whatever, if you’re listening, I hope you can find the 30,000 missing emails.’ He was talking about the emails that were wiped, obviously from what he said. Not the 20,000 emails that had been hacked, stolen, and put on Wikileaks for all the world to see. We didn’t need to find those. They were on Wikileaks … He said ‘find,’ not ‘hack.’ And yet whenever that joke is described, they say ‘hack.’ 3. The Crimes of Cohen and Manafort Have Nothing to do with Trump The actual crimes in both cases have absolutely nothing to do with Trump, have absolutely nothing to do with the campaign. That’s an important thing to keep in mind. With Manafort, it’s complicated tax issues … talked to a liberal guy who wanted to be a tax lawyer. As for Cohen, it’s so outrageous that they’re throwing in the campaign finance violation. Utterly completely clear that the only reason they looked at Cohen … was because he worked for Trump and would take a bullet for Trump. 4. The Special Counsel Office is ‘Our One Soviet Import’ If you have 17 extremely talented and extremely determined prosecutors looking at specific people in search of a crime, there are so many federal crimes on the books, they have never been counted. Efforts have been undertaken, but it can’t be done. So if you want to get somebody on something … and most of Mueller’s plea bargains – as like ‘Lying to investigators,’ and I’m not saying you should lie to investigators … but that’s a process crime that only exists because of the investigation. 5. Media Edited Access Hollywood Tape to Fit Their Narrative Showing consciousness of guilt, I looked up how the Access Hollywood tape was played on TV and notice that they carefully edited out the part of him saying ‘They let you do it.’ Now that’s consciousness of guilt.

I wasn’t surprised to learn that Michael Cohen, who said he would “take a bullet” for Trump, snuggled up in Mueller’s lap, and it was no surprise that Omarosa, a supposed friend and supporter, tried to capitalize on her association with the President. When you’re well off, like Donald Trump, you have literally dozens of friends and supporters. However, when the chips are down, and you need friends, it’s usually hard to find one. If you have a friend who will stand by you no matter what, you are blessed because the world is full of fair weather friends, schemers and users. The fair weather friends vanish when an accuser makes a false accusation against you, but the schemers will spread the accusation, and narcissist users will try to benefit from it. Unfortunately, the President is surrounded by false accusers, fair weather friends, schemers and users. The fake news media, the enemy of the people, facilitate the accusers and the users by promoting their false allegations. They create a false narrative and then use it to smear the President and harass his cabinet. The welfare of the President and the country is of no concern to the media personalities that dominate fake news. They are in it for the money. Moreover, the fake media keeps people polarized, confused, distracted and fighting with each other. They know it’s easier to hide the truth or put something over on people when they are too busy fighting with each other to notice. The fake news media promotes wars, racial strife, political division, gender division as well as cultural and social division. We can’t believe anything the media’s talking heads say because they are just highly paid actors who sold what little integrity they may have had for the spot light and the root of all evil, money. However, money isn’t the primary purpose of the fake news media. Their primary purpose is power; power to influence people and power over the political process. They want to control the narrative, influence thought and retain control over the population. And, as we have seen, they squeal like pigs and lash out whenever their power is threatened. They see the President as a threat to their power, and they have been lashing out against the President and his supporters relentlessly. They use opportunists like Stormy Daniels, a porn star, and Omarosa, a fair weather friend, to impugn and smear the President. Furthermore, the media has also been demonizing Russia and using a Hillary concocted lie to tie the President to Russia. They bombard us daily with allegations of Russian collusion, Russian meddling, Russian lies, Russian propaganda, and Russian interference, without any proof whatsoever. As Russian President Putin said, he didn’t care who won the presidency because he knew that no matter what American politicians promise during their campaigns, they forget their promises once in office. Since Putin knows from experience how corrupt the political process was in socialist Russia, he certainly knows how to recognize political corruption in other countries. What Putin failed to mention is that the fake news media, like Pravda, is part of the socialist deep state, and their job is to keep the population under the deep state’s control with false and misleading propaganda. There’s no proof that President Trump colluded with Russia, and no proof he attempted to obstruct justice by firing Mueller’s buddy, the Benedict Arnold known as James Comey. Finally, nobody has ever produced any evidence to support any of their allegations and so far, they have failed to manufacture any evidence. However, they are still working on it with the help of deep state accusers that go after the President’s fair weather friends, hoping they will make up something that can be used against the President. The deep state accusers then report back to the fake news schemers, who promote the deep state accuser’s and the user’s phony allegations. The assault on the President and this country is a family affair for all the socialists who lack any sense of decency or honesty. https://canadafreepress.com/article/false-accusers-fair-weather-friends-schemers-and-users Never before in our lives have we seen such corrupt calumny and hatred on spittle-flecked display Aug 25, 2018 By Judi McLeod Americans and their freedom-loving friends worldwide won’t be sleeping well between now and November 6 Midterms. While far too many already asleep at the switch see these Midterms as just another election, millions of patriots tossing restlessly in their sleep, see these Midterms for what they really are: a chance for Democrats in exile to regain power by getting even with the 63 million-plus people who cast their votes for Donald Trump—and not Hillary Clinton. It should go without saying that their unabated high-pitched hatred knows no bounds and that there will be no restraint. With cheerleader help from the mainstream media, the social media and Entertainment Industry heavyweights, the Democrat Progressive-Left have squandered the last year and a half demonstrating how much they hate President Donald Trump. They’ve now turned hurling hatred over to the media while they to out to campaign. But the biggest difference to the masses is that they can now clearly see the deep pit into which they will force President Donald Trump with counted on compliance from a rogue Deep State. The rat-a-tat sound of their building Trump’s coffin can be clearly heard across all U.S. states. Any of those still thinking that Midterms 2018 is just another election, should be reminded that just one day after Trump was inaugurated, millions went on the Big Women’s March, spreading venom of the very worst kind, worldwide. They marched and screeched in the U.S., they marched and screeched in Canada, they marched and screeched in the U.K. plus many other places—and continue their signature screeching to this very day. On the day of their first march, the enemy they had branded a “bigot” a “racist” and “misogynist” had not yet served a single day! Many are aware that as vituperative as their smears against Trump have been, they would have just as vituperatively smeared anyone who so publicly beat Hillary Clinton at the polls. Trump’s indictable crime was beating Crooked Hillary for election before the eyes of the world After Paul Manafort’s guilty verdict and Michael Cohen’s guilty plea this week, with immunity in the Robert Mueller 111 Special Counsel bank for all Trump associates, including National Enquirer boss David Pecker, they’re convinced the deal is sealed for certain Trump Impeachment. Gossip rag publishers and porn queens will carry the “news” of the day while the prog-left, including Clinton and Resistance-Leader-In-Hiding former President Barack Obama are out there getting out the vote. Convinced that Trump won’t be able to get out of the pit they intend to drag him into, they’ve already turned their visceral hatred on Vice President Mike Pence, smearing him with the big lie that he has long coveted the presidency. And they call deplorables the spinners of conspiracy theories! The prog-left Democrats and the Deep State have become U.S. Law with a built-in inalienable right to indict any perceived enemies at will. Trump’s indictable crime was beating Crooked Hillary for election before the eyes of the world. Mike Pence’s? God forbid, he’s a CHRISTIAN! “Pence has said that he is “a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order.” This may seem exactly backward to those who’ve watched him assume the role of sycophant in chief to an unusually sinful and not particularly conservative Republican president. But for Pence, his faith and his political ambition are closely tied, perhaps even indistinguishable. (L.A. Times, Aug. 24, 2018) “Pence’s former schoolmates at Hanover College recall hearing him say that God planned to make him president. At the time — the late 1970s — Pence was getting to know John Gable, a senior preparing for a lifelong career as an evangelical minister. Gable helped move Pence away from the quiet Catholicism of his family and into a conservative Protestant belief system. “The key to understanding Pence’s version of religion lies in his favorite bit of scripture, from Jeremiah, which reads, “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” This verse is now on display in the vice president’s residence. It is especially popular among Calvinists who believe that God directly orchestrates everything that happens on Earth.” “Pence believes that God has a plan for him, and if that plan requires him to temporarily abandon his principles as well as his dignity, so be it.” That’s Scripture, according to the holier-than-holy secular L.A. TimesThat’s Scripture, according to the holier-than-holy secular L.A. Times. While Trump wants to “Make America Great Again” while gross negativity rules the era in which we all live, Pence is a blankety-blank Christian, while many among the lib-left live to crucify Christians. Never before in our lives have we seen such corrupt calumny and hatred on spittle-flecked display. Unfortunately for roughly half the country, it’s a calumny and hatred destined to peak between now and November 6, with the added real life worry about what will happen if the prog-left suffer major losses in midterms with a red wave rather than their desperately needed blue one. What will they do then?! The Prog-Left have already gone into an unreachable crawl space where social media has shut down most l conservative voices. They’re thumbing their noses at the rest of us, convinced they’ll be returned to power by an imaginary blue wave. The ugly scenes being shown to us by the MSM and social media is enough to make the masses take on a “Wake us up when it’s all over” mode. But that’s exactly what the prog-left need to feed their lifeblood hatred. Not since World War II has the home place become so important as a work place. Shelter at home, the safest place for both perspective and prayer. Talk to your, family, friends and neighbors about the critical importance of getting out to vote. Remember that among all the screeching, screaming, lies, false news and false allegations flying by day that God is still in His Heaven. Remember, too that the Bible is always right and is a constant reminder that:“All things are passing”. Not all battles are won by screeching, screaming and chanting in protests, but by doggedly unceasing, fervent silent prayer. This is the last weekend of Summer 2018. September is just around the corner, marking two months and one week to Midterms. Time to stay safe and stay sane in the indisputable Power of Prayer. https://canadafreepress.com/article/deranged-lefts-take-no-prisoners-strategy-for-midterms Aug 26, 2018 By James Arlandson
When Trump tweets something, the Self-Righteous Indignation Brigade demand that Christians immediately drop their support of the president. If we don't, then somehow we have lost our integrity or compromised our faith. Isn't that obvious? No. Here's why. I used to be a harsh Trump critic and a NeverTrump, writing various articles in a mocking, condescending style (I won't link to them). Through a series of circumstances and listening to various people in my church tradition and just observing, I changed my mind. So I decided to flip this question 180 degrees. How could God use a man with such a deficient character as Trump's? That question is easily dispensed with. The Bible is full of heroes of the faith who had moral defects. It is time to disabuse ourselves of the notion that the presidency is sacred, in the sense that biblical and European monarchs underwent le sacre (sacred royal anointing and crowning). John Adams was laughed out of court, so to speak, when he suggested that the president take the title "His Excellency." This was not a far-fetched proposal, because that title appears everywhere in seventeenth-century colonial government documents. Bottom line: God can accomplish his purposes even with imperfect vessels. So I flipped the first question to this corollary opposite question: What if God set up this whole Trump phenomenon? Is it possible to see God at work nowadays with the Trump presidency? We need a Christian analysis of current events, so absent today, based on our constitutional founding in the late eighteenth century and some old-fashioned biblical principles. The answers are not clear in their details so far, but some sketchy lines are beginning to emerge. Let's accept these premises, as tens of millions of Christians do: 1. God has raised up America as she was constitutionally founded to offer maximum liberty: streamlined, without a gigantic government to limit our freedoms. 2. America has been blessed because of the gospel going around the globe, to be a beacon of light. If she loses her religious freedom, the gospel suffers, and so does humanity. 3. The left, for whatever warped reasons, intends to transform America from how she was constitutionally set up in the late eighteenth century. 4. Throwing monkey wrenches into the streamlined Constitution, the left opposes the way God ordained this nation to run. Now, how does Trump conform (or not) to those premises? First, he nominated two excellent Supreme Court justices. Let's face it: the flaw in our Constitution is the unpleasant fact that Article Three (judicial) can dismantle the laws that Articles One (legislative) and Two (executive) pass. And then Article Three can claim that its decisions are "settled law," a classic insider power-grab. And there is not a realistic thing Articles One and Two can do about it. So is the flaw fatal? Maybe, unless we submit to ugly politics that change from one election to the next. Elected representatives must nominate and vote for justices and judges who respect premises 1 and 2. It's hard to imagine more traditional Republicans who ran for president this last time around submitting to the Federalist Society's choices. Maybe they would; maybe they wouldn't. But since Trump is an inexperienced outsider, he did. Good for him. The liberty promised in premises 1 and 2 is on its way. Second, the left, both politicians or the mainstream news media, has gone stark raving mad. Leftists are howling at the Moon. Trump has to get credit for ripping off their masks and exposing who they really are. Sad to say, but it is difficult to imagine a more traditional Republican standing up to them. The older generation heard this maxim: "Don't pick a fight with the news media! You'll lose!" In the past, when the news media sensed Republicans stepping out of the path the media approved of, the media would attack, and the GOP politicians would hang their heads, put their hands in their pockets, and submit. Trump doesn't do that. He fights. We are about to see whether his running roughshod over the maxim will yield results. My prediction: It will. Whatever happens, we are now left with only one choice, since Trump has led us this far into the fray: we must never give up the fight against the media. We must not back down now. If we do, they will hand their fellow Democrats our meek and mild heads on a platter. Trump is fighting premises 3 and 4. Third, the GOP must change or die. The only reason the party appears conservative is that the Democrats have lurched far to the left. Let's not even try to accomplish overnight the streamlined government named in premise 1. (Maybe that's why Trump won: he did not come across as a "turbo-conservative.") After eighty years of FDR's big government, reinforced by LBJ, liberal Nixon, and Carter, it is not clear that we will ever go back to a streamlined government as the founders envisioned it. However, maybe we can roll it back incrementally. The House and Senate GOP failed Trump when both groups recently passed a budget with a huge deficit. Apparently, they did not recall that Clinton, coming from conservative Arkansas, worked with Newt Gingrich, then the speaker of the House, to cut taxes and trim the welfare state and other government programs. Following that conservative principle, they managed to squeak by with a small budget surplus, and the economy heated up as well. Today, what's wrong with a government cut across the board? You pick the percentage: 10%, 15%, 20%. If Clinton and Newt could do it, why not a Republican House and Senate and White House? The GOP has a lot of fat on it, and Trump is trimming it by rolling up his sleeves and fighting. The GOP chattering class hate him for it. Wrong and shortsighted. Fourth, Trump is about to go through a tough time. If even one member of the GOP political class speaks out against Trump during this momentary tough time, it will be awful. That member will appear self-righteous and priggish ("toldya!"), as if he confuses Trump's aggressive personality – which is needed to counter-balance the left's insanity – with his willingness and even eagerness to work with his own party to get things done. Dear GOP at the RNC and in the House and Senate, don't misread the American political landscape and roll over and play dead at the coming tsunami of venom from the media and their fellow Democrat politicians against Trump. Go out there in the media spotlight and defend him vigorously! We have to support him in his fight against the insane left (see premises 3 and 4). I believe that Trump will come out victorious, because if the left takes the House, and that's not a sure thing, it will overreach and write up articles of impeachment, and clear-thinking Americans will turn against the left. Trump will win in 2020, and the GOP will retake the House. Then it will be great to see the forlorn faces of the media and NeverTrumps (as I used to be). Fifth, politically correct culture, a creation of the left, has been corroding America for several decades now. If there is one thing the gospel requires, it is an honest look at the world as God created it and at oneself (see premises 1 and 2). "You shall know the truth [of the gospel of Christ], and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32). The left has been engaging in the destruction of truth. Trump is currently fighting its attempt. Is he extra-loud and strong about it? Yes, but it is refreshing. Those extra-dignified GOP politicians and pundits don't like it, but they don't understand the right remedy: strength and toughness. It is easy to picture most (or all) of the candidates in 2016 rolling over at the first trumpet blast in their ears from the media, if they had the courage to resist P.C. culture in the first place. For those reasons, along with many others, God chose Trump. Let's work with and for the man we have now. He is a fighter. I say we fight with him, not against him.
