Every day we see commercials and advertisements telling us to – get paid when we say; law firms will get us the money we deserve; food additives, medications and supplements will make us feel younger, have more hair, slim-out those ugly wrinkles and on and on.
Frank Sinatra’s song “I did it my way” put that spark of forgetting the rules or in some cases common sense doing things his way got the end result he desired.
It may have worked for Frank, or maybe it was just words on the pages of a song?
Clint Eastwood’s television persona used “My way or the highway” to get his point across.
The bible tells us that God’s way is the narrow way, the only way is through the Son, Jesus Christ to the Father who is in heaven, yet we constantly want to believe that it doesn’t apply to us. In fact if we had our way nothing would apply to us, just to everyone else around us.
A little food for thought, If it were not for Jesus Christ, we would get exactly what we deserve…..death, spiritually and for eternity (longer than time). So the next time you ask, no demand what you deserve……think about that!
Salvation is a gift from God that no man may boast and that my friend is called Grace that only God can supply. Thank God for HIS Grace!
If you don’t know God, you can’t even begin to imagine what God’s grace is. Believe God is, trust that what God says is, and ask for God’s grace to fill your heart and give you peace.
God say’s his ways are higher than man’s ways. Certainly my way is not God’s way, but it’s a struggle that I have every day – make me like you Lord, make me like you! – RTM
If you believe the political hype about “Safeguarding Democracy” you must know and understand that without Freedom democracy is simply an organized government controlling the lives of its people.
The United States of America is not a democracy.
The United States of America is a Constitutional-Republic, in fact the only one in the world. It has been declared in our Declaration of Independence that All men are created equal and endowed by our creator (God – not government) with certain inalienable rights – LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
The Constitution of the United States is the Rule of Law to be upheld, defended and obeyed by all who come to our land by birth or by choice.
What Americans have endured over the past 4 years is an overpowering government trying to force democracy down the throats of Americans with mandated executive orders and government regulations that not only prohibit Americans from living out their American Dream, but requiring Americans to adhere to the constricts of those government regulations under penalty of fines and imprisonment. Unrestricted that is democracy in a nutshell.
Government is by the people, from the people and for the people. It is WE THE PEOPLE who have the final say in how we are to be governed. It is the responsibility of government to provide a safe and secure land where we can prosper, grow and raise our families.
We must all understand that when government intrudes into the lives of its people, there can be no equal justice or opportunity simply because we are individuals with differing wants, desires and needs. It is up to us to strive to achieve OUR goals with hard work and perseverance. – RTM
Failed Leadership A Review of the Joe Biden presidency
When President Biden assumed the office of the presidency he listed as his Biden-Harris Administration Immediate Priorities that he will deliver bold action and immediate relief for American families as the country grapples with converging crises. This will include actions to control the COVID-19 pandemic, provide economic relief, tackle climate change, and advance racial equity and civil rights, as well as immediate actions to reform our immigration system and restore America’s standing in the world.
With 68 days left of Joe Biden’s presidency you be the judge of how he lived up to his promises?
Did Joe Biden deliver bold action and immediate relief for American families as the country grappled with converging crises of COVID-19, economic relief, climate change, racial equality and civil rights, reforming our immigration system and restoring America’s standing in the world?
Are we better off now than we were 4 years ago?
The election of 2020 was questionable at best. The ballot harvesting, extended counting, legal challenges and the issue of January 6th were just a tip of the iceberg. It seems that voters didn’t vote for a president, but for a joint Biden-Harris administration, so that means that Americans must hold both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris jointly accountable for every detail of the presidency, right?
Isn’t the office of the Vice President a cabinet position under the President? Does the Vice President not serve at the pleasure of the President? It is her duty to put forth the agenda of the President, not her own agenda?
Kamala Harris said that she was in almost every meeting of importance with Joe Biden. Yet when asked during her campaign why she didn’t implement changes that she felt needed to be made she replied “I’m not the president” or “I’m not Joe Biden and I’m not Donald Trump” When pressed for additional information about whether there is anything she would do differently than Joe Biden, her reply was “Nothing comes to mind”.
The media has gone so far as to say that Donald Trump made Kamala Harris look worse than Hillary Clinton [in 2016]. I beg to differ. Kamala Harris is solely responsible for the way she looked.
What I gather from reading various articles, watching televised appearances and doing my own evaluation is that while Joe Biden failed to take an active leadership role in his own administration it has led to a breakdown of trust and increased contempt by his own party that rivals the contempt of Donald Trump expressed by Democratic Party surrogates and both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
The Democratic Party rule over the American people has gotten out of control to the point that any form of respect has been replaced with widespread contempt of normalcy or common sense.
American voters are not stupid! They want to be treated as if they matter, and they do. In fact the Constitution says so and the Declaration of Independence makes it clear that an out of control government can be replaced.
Politicians can and should be replaced when they stop being public servants. Joe Biden’s lengthy career in Congress, the office of the Vice Presidency and as President of the United States is a perfect example of someone who may have gone into politics for the right reasons, but his quest for power would not allow him to simply step aside at the height of his “game”.
What I feel led to his downfall and ineffectiveness is related directly to the DNC leadership and Joe Biden’s presidential handlers and his immediate family. They should have not pressed for him to run for president and/or reelection. I call that elder abuse and yes it is a crime! – RTM
There is still an underlying “Safeguarding Democracy” resistance movement within the Democratic Party when it comes to President-Elect Trump’s second term as President. What American’s may not realize is that the organization stems from and is fueled by “The Democratic Governors Association” composed of the governors of 32 Democratic lead states as well as Progressive Congressional Democrats.
They justify themselves in resisting the GOP agenda which according to them endangers their autonomy as governors of independent states concerned for the welfare of their state, it’s citizens, their residents and their democracy (paraphrasing a recent phrase of the Massachusetts governor). These sentiments are parroted almost word for word by Democratic governors of Blue States.
Might I remind anyone who is in doubt that public safety of American citizens is the responsibility of government (federal and states).
I find it unconscionable for the Department Of Justice or agencies of the federal government to interfere with federal, state, county or city law enforcement agencies during the enforcement of US law.
What I also find unacceptable are elected or appointed government officials who routinely ignore the enforcement US law or who go after US citizens engaged in protecting themselves, their families or others at home or in public places when being assaulted by criminals.
It seems to me that organizations such as The Democratic Governors Association or the Progressive Democratic Party or any other organization who incite resistance, looting, rioting or assault on individuals and government leaders should be cited under conspiracy statutes, sedition or other applicable federal laws where prosecution and imprisonment is an applicable punitive action.
As we celebrate Veteran’s Day 2024 the Democratic Party is focused not on paying tribute to our nation’s veterans, but are locked in a game of “Whack-A-Dem” over why Kamala lost the election.
I kid you not!
It was bad enough that the democratic think tank brains dug Biden and Harris out of last place in the 2020 democratic debates to make them the winning team to beat Trump, and when poised to do it again Biden was yanked to the curb and hastily replaced by Kamala as the new face of the democratic party to wage a losing war against Trump in 2024. Pelosi recently said that Biden should have dropped out of the race for reelection sooner.
There are Harris staffers expressing the absurd, “Biden resign so that Harris can be crowned President”. This late in the game it only goes to show how radically selfish and demented they have become with no respect within their own party.
There is a process whereby VP Kamala Harris could argue that Joe Biden is unable to perform his duties as president, get it verified by a number of cabinet secretaries and she would become the first ever Black East Indian female “TEMPORARY” President in American history.
Has anybody thought of that? It was tried by then House Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Schumer when they tried to get VP Pence to enact the 25th Amendment on his boss President Trump but Pence didn’t buy into it.
With all the outlandish, dastardly things to come out of the minds of democrats it wouldn’t surprise me to hear from the Oval Office President Joe Biden borrow a Trump line and say to Vice President Kamala Harris. “YOU’RE FIRED” and finish out his term without a Vice President like Nixon did without Agnew.
It’s clear that the Democratic Party has not only abandoned the working men and women of our nation, but they have abandoned their own “HEAD” of the Democratic Party – Fiery Joe Biden, #46th President of the United States while he sits in the Oval Office. – RTM
Over the past 8 years there were so many conspiracies after the Trump 2017 inauguration that continued even until today like talk that Trump conspired with Russia to first rig the 2017 election, the 2020 election and again to influence the 2024 election. In fact so loud was the commotion that nobody paid attention to the number of elected members of congress who have actually conspired to prevent Trump from executing the office of the Presidency or being elected for another term.
I decided to find out for myself the definition of conspiracy and according to The American Heritage Dictionary:
conspiracy /kən-spîr′ə-sē/
noun
An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.
A group of conspirators.
An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action.

Then looking back at how members of congress (House & Senate) came out with the same talking points that urged resistance from all levels of our society to death threats to Trump, his family, cabinet secretaries and now his MAGA supporters I find that much of what we’ve seen, heard or experienced may in fact be criminal in nature?
Not wanting to waste government resources or taxpayer funds I would invite the Speaker of the House to convene a real “special investigation” to ferret out criminal activity within the Congress, the Media and all federal and state government’s agencies to determine whether legal action occurred and whether termination/prosecution may be warranted?
Another area of concern is when a state or federal appointed/elected official decides to run for the office of the Presidency/Vice Presidency that in order to demonstrate commitment to the public and to themselves for the campaign season, they resign their elected office when they sign their intent to run. This could change the tenor of campaigning by weeding out those who are simply running without any hope/desire of winning.
America needs a real attitude-adjustment when it comes to politics. – RTM
Is it any surprise that the “ladies” of The View feel the way they’ve been told to feel? One of panel member asked, “Why they voted for him [Trump]…and his divisive party instead of for the party of inclusion [that routinely dismisses voters and anyone who disagrees with their point of view] by the people, for the people and of the people”.
Let me clear up something right now. That is exactly why the results of the Presidential Election turned out the way they did…….votes by the people, of the people and for the people, everyone regardless of political or cultural bias.
To paraphrase in part what President Biden said about Trump and MEGA republicans….”they say what they mean and mean what they say”. This is a start contrast to Vice President Kamala Harris ditching direct questions, waving her arms and using that huge cackling smile to say absolutely nothing of substance.
If you have watched even one of the more than 250 Trump rallies you will recall that inclusion is a bed rock of the rally’s Make America Great Again theme. American’s of any or no political party have repeatedly been encouraged to join the MAGA movement and the results of the election show that a great many have done so, at the expense of the ruling Democratic Party.
Nobody wants to hear some “holier than thou” left leaning talking head scold us because we chose to reject the narrative being pushed upon us. When Democrats talk about Trump and MAGA being a threat to our democracy, what they are really saying is that threat is to THEIR POWER over the citizens of our Constitutional-Republic.
Patriotic Americans do not care about a Democracy that is doomed to failure, as we have seen in any number of third-world, developing nations across the globe where the “ruling class” headed by a dictator control the very lives of their subjects.
The United States of America is a nation of laws as stated in the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights where dictatorship is not found or entertained. Our nation stands for FREEDOM, where everyone is created equal by our creator without class, wealth or a proverbial “silver spoon” in their mouth. – RTM
It is a fact that God cannot lie. The bible tells us that at times God can be swayed by the fervent prays of righteous men and women.
In the fall of 2015 New York Real Estate Tycoon Donald J. Trump confided to Pastor Paula White (Tampa, Florida) that he felt that God wanted him to run for President. Although it wasn’t an easy decision Trump accepted.
God’s ways are not man’s ways, however because God IS, everything HE says is 100% true.
It happened that in September 2015 Pentecostal Kim Clement had been scheduled to a meeting at Trump Tower where he intended to deliver “a message from God” about Trump. Clement suffered a stroke and was unable to make it to the meeting.
It turned out that another Pentecostal Lance Wallnau was asked to come to the meeting after it was made known that Wallnau had also received “a word from the Lord” that was to come to Clement came instead to Wallnau and he was told to speak it to and over Donald J. Trump.
You may be saying “this is nonsense” but as I said earlier God never ever lies.
The words: “Donald Trump is a wrecking ball to the spirit of political correctness” came to Wallnau more than once. Then Pastor Darrell Scott (Cleveland, Ohio) invited Lance Wallnau to this September meeting of black religious leaders and Donald Trump at Trump Tower. Before the trip Wallnau heard the Lord say, this second time, God spoke right to my ear, and said, ‘The next President of the United States will be the forty-fifth president, and he will be an Isaiah 45 president.’ I didn’t even know who Isaiah 45 was talking about, so I opened it up—the Bible, and it says, ‘Thus says the Lord to Cyrus whom I’ve anointed.’ Right then I knew that Donald Trump corresponds to the Cyrus character in the Bible. And that he—the wrecking ball—would be the forty-fifth president.” Wallnau read further into the chapter: “And I will build for Israel my people’s sake” and “Though you have not known me.” – The Faith of Donald J. Trump
How could this be?
God has used and does use anybody he pleases, even non-believers in what we call “common grace” to restrain evil. Saving grace is what gets a Christian saved.
Without the grace of God the world must pay the penalty for sin – death!
Lance Wallnau, “I told Trump that the reason God’s hand was on him was because of the grace of God—to restrain evil. And that he would be the forty-fifth president of the United States. And when it was over, Mr. Trump knew that I had prophesied over him.”
It is always hard to believe that God would choose a sinner like Donald Trump to become president, but that is how God operates, using the most unlikely to do the impossible. God used David (the youngest of Jesse’s sons) to be king and God sent HIS son Jesus as a baby born in a manger to die for the sin of the world (The lion and the lamb). Man looks at the outward appearance while God looks at the heart. Many are called and few are chosen.
A sure sign that Trump was chosen by God is the sheer number of attacks levied against Trump from the time he came down that escalator in 2015. Although the attacks were many and severe Trump did not deviate from what God had called him to do. Come against the spirit of political correctness and restrain evil.
Many people expected Trump then to serve 8 consecutive years in office before fading away into obscurity or returning back to his real estate empire.
I look at it this way. God called Trump at this time and for a specific purpose. Until that purpose has been fulfilled there is nothing on, over or under the earth that can stop what God has begun?
People say they don’t like Trump because of his language, his tweets, his mannerisms or any number of other excuses they can drum up. I will say that Donald Trump is not a “Billy Graham” type, nor does he pretend to be. God gave us a fighter. A man determined and able to win for the American people at any cost and when America wins the world as a whole wins, not because it’s Trump, but because God is in it.
Sadly a great many Christians did not vote in 2016 or 2020 because of their personal bias against Trump so God gave America what they wanted and for the past 4 years it has been demonstrably clear that there is one last hope for our nation for God to finish his plan for America using Donald Trump. However don’t forget that nothing surprises God. In fact nothing happens unless God lets it happen. There are no “accidents” with God.
There are but 2 days before the Presidential Election of 2024 and Irregardless of political party affiliation it is the DUTY OF EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN TO VOTE! There should only be one standard – which candidate more closely adheres to the biblical principles outlined in the Bible? Do YOUR principles follow biblical guidelines? Do not lie cheat steal kill covet or disrespect parents (elders) or disobey God’s laws?
We have but one standard “Love God, Love Everyone as we love ourselves”. – RTM
After the Presidential Election of 2024 (November 5th) America will awaken to a New Dawn and a Better Way Moving Forward thanks in part to Vice President Kamala Harris and the Harris/Walz campaign team.
You may be saying, “How’s that?” So I’ll tell you a little secret. The Harris campaign has been one lacking any substantive value for lifting American’s up from the economic crisis of the past 4 years. In fact the major thrust of the Biden campaign was simply to “Beat Trump”. Upon the sudden withdrawal of President Joe Biden from the Presidential Campaign the “Beat Trump” theme was immediately picked up by his replacement Vice President Kamala Harris.
Instead of sitting down with serious interviewers she surrounded herself with likeminded “influencers” who fed into her “Beat Trump” agenda. When asked about her plan moving forward she replied with a lot of mumbo jumbo and almost always failed to answer even the most direct questions with “President Trump………”
There were many times all that came out of her mouth were simply lies about what Trump has said, like Trump doesn’t care about women or black people. When in fact Trump has surrounded himself with some very smart and often beautiful women who are educated, articulate and actually know what they are talking about.
Kamala Harris, on the other hand surrounds herself with Hollywood’s entertainment elites who carry the same “Trump is bad” message, which they convey flawlessly….until the teleprompter fails.
What I think will happen after the election, Kamala will be offered a spot on an expanded “The View” panel of Never-Trumpers. Or maybe she will have her own reality show?
However Americans will immediately breathe a sigh of relief knowing that a return to “normal” is coming effective January 20th when #47 is inaugurated (and it wasn’t Kammy).
More than anything else American’s want the freedom to choose….raising their family, worshipping God, loving their country and standing proudly as they live the American Dream.
American’s do not want nosey government bureaucrats dictating what they can buy, where they can live, if they can worship a god or where to send their kids to school to be mutilated, indoctrinated or sexually reoriented before being returned home.
American’s want a safe crime free environment for home, work or play and the freedom to travel as they wish across this great land or to foreign lands beyond our borders.
American’s want borders enforced by alert patriotic officers of the law where criminals are swiftly apprehended processed and removed from our nation’s streets, cities and states, Law and Order where the Law of the Land is the US CONSTITUTION.
American’s want to be treated as American’s where citizenship actually means something.
There must be no division among the American people either by race, ethnicity, skin color or national origin. Once citizenship is attained we become one people undivided to focus on what we can bring to the table.
That will only happen under strong conservative leadership where individuality and teamwork are encouraged and the only reward is Freedom. – RTM
We are at a crossroads in our nation’s history as well as its future. We have systematically and intentionally forgot the history of our past accomplishments and failures making us doomed to repeat them.
Politicians have told us that we matter to them, yet it seems only for our vote and that too is being taken away by those who ignore the Rule of Law in America – the US Constitution. It would be easy to look at their political track record and see if a politician is for us or against us, yet nobody seems to care.
Take Hillary Rodham Clinton, she not only rode the coattails of husband Bill, becoming wife of the Arkansas Attorney General, then Arkansas First Lady to Governor Clinton and finally the First Lady of President William Jefferson Clinton. She is an author, a lawyer and in her own right a former Senator from New York, Obama’s Secretary of State and presidential hopeful several times over. But what is her legacy? What do people remember about Hillary?
I was recently asked by a lady who is a full blown Democrat, why do people say Hillary should have been put in jail? Nobody will tell me….
So I told her…. in 2008 Hillary lost her first real chance to become the first woman president when she lost the DNC nomination to Barack Hussain Obama. As Obama’s Secretary of State Hillary lost US Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans during the 9/11/2012 attack in Libya, then 33,000+ emails, wiped her personal private server which she had used for official correspondence with President Barack Obama, which compromised the National Security of the United States, yet nobody cared! Hillary lost the 2016 election to Donald J. Trump after which she and her Democratic Party went into full Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Now the Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris doesn’t have the same track record as Hillary, but just like Hillary she’s a very bad boss. She doesn’t like to be questioned or confronted. Kamala has no track record as Senator for California, other than being publically disrespectful and confrontational with others. She started a “get out of jail free” fund for domestic terrorists during Minneapolis’ George Floyd riots. As Vice President – Border Czar Kamala opened the southern border and did nothing to stop or stem the flow of foreign invaders crossing into the United States. Yet she promises to “fix it” when she becomes president. I don’t believe her. Even her WH staff has had a 92% turnover rate because of her managerial style (or lack thereof).
Former President Donald J. Trump came out of the private sector in 2015 because America needed him. Trump has a 4 year track record of making America better while dealing with the lies and smears of a hostile Congress and a combative media aimed at turning Americans against him.
President Biden/Vice President Harris has broken America, almost irreversible, yet President Trump promises to fix it.
I believe he can and he will, but you be the judge – Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago? – RTM
