If that’s not a scary thought I don’t know what is. Why would God create this little blue globe and everything on it to be born, hatched or sprout just to end up dying?
Why is it that man is so intent upon saving the planet, the whales, the trees and animals from cruel and harsh mistreatment but have no compassion upon the unborn, newborn or elderly, so long as it doesn’t affect them directly?
Well I have news for you, we are each appointed once to die and then the judgement.
We tend to argue over semantics, like when does life begin in the womb or at birth. We either forgot or don’t know that life begins at creation. Before time there is God who created all that has been created. It is God who created each of us in His image – Spirit. It is God who first knew you and me before our spirit entered our mother’s womb and we became a living, human being, knit together and growing until it was time for our birth.
Our great commission is to love God and to love others as we love ourselves. We are to go unto the entire world and tell everyone the good news – God loves you while our actions speak louder than our words. Can we honestly preach the good news to others while spewing hatred from our lips?
The bible tells us that while we were yet sinners, God loves us and sent his only begotten Son, Jesus to die on the cross, in our place, to pay for the sin of the world so that we could be restored in perfect fellowship with God.
John 3:16 tells us that God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son Jesus into the world so that through him all who believe would not perish but have everlasting life.
Without God death leads to eternal separation from God and there is no turning back.
A genuine relationship with God leads to eternal life both here on earth and after death it leads to being in the presence of Almighty God for eternity.
The choice is yours to make before death, even now – will you choose life or death? – RTM
For those ever boasting we challenge them to put their money where their mouth is.
Workers are told to give it everything they’ve got.
Gamblers tend to put it all on the line.
When we’re for a good idea or something new we say we’re all in.
In a battle we tell each other we’ve got your back.
Runners put their toe to the mark.
Politically speaking we say you’ve got my vote.
In football players are told not to step over the line.
A military leader might say follow me.
These are all useful sayings in order to gain the compliance of people in order to attain a particular goal or agenda. That’s why before a business places your call on hold they pipe in this saying – Your call is important to us. How more important is might be to actually talk to a living, breathing human being?
We have been led to believe that the government has our best interests at heart. That’s our problem because the government has no heart. People do.
“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’mfromthegovernmentandI’mheretohelp.” ― Ronald Reagan.
The government is a heartless entity where decisions are made for the best political interests of those making the rules. Those interests are almost always money, power and control.
During Obama’s administration there was an all-out push to divide the nation by class, race and politically. Obama even got the prestigious Peace Prize based not on what he had done, but what he was expected to do.
“We’re going to have to change our traditions, our history.” – Michelle Obama
We are living through those changes in what we see in the news, through media and television with a push to destroy our history because it offends us.
Did we not learn anything from history?
The push to eliminate all reference to the Confederacy and the names of anyone connected to it has been a huge mistake. American families fought on both sides of that conflict to protect and defend their rights under the Constitution. Yet out of that conflict ugliness became a cancer that continues to grow in our society called democracy in the form of the Democratic Party and early on the KKK to demonize and control through fear people of color and those who stood against them. Why is it that the very people who were targeted, now blindly follow and support their very oppressors?
We are being told that conservative (godly) values are bad and lead to racism or worse. Even patriotism (pride for our nation) has been deemed as un-American. Those who exhibit patriotism have been demonized and declared enemies of the state.
I once asked why we have heard so little, if anything from former President Barack Obama concerning the flood of illegal immigrants, drugs or human trafficking coming across our southern border.
Crickets………
Is it a coincidence that after leaving office (if not during his administration) Obama created a left-center networking organization called Organization For Action (OFA) which was a political action group that has changed its name to All On The Line (with a dot com) website. Their primary message is combatting gerrymandering of elections in order to give democratic political candidates the advantage (redistricting).
AOTL is currently active in 34 states across the nation (their words not mine) and in October the great community organizer in chief, former President Obama and former Attorney General Eric Holder will be speaking at a scheduled event.
Another focus of AOTL is changing the US Constitution. It seems that being a Constitutional Republic is not conducive to their goals, but making the nation a Constitutional Democracy is. I’ve seen the document and changing our Constitution will not end well for the nation or its people.
I seem to remember reading something about Trump being charged to stop evil as God’s sword against the spirit of political correctness. That being the case nothing said he would cease being that after leaving office or seeking another term.
The plot to topple Trump from office failed miserably, yet those responsible have not yet been held accountable and the current plot to tie Trump up in unlimited allegations show no sign of letting up, since the DOJ is clearly in the pocket of the radical progressive left.
So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty. – Zechariah 4:6
I don’t know about you but I’m tired of hearing Democrats or Republicans talk of impeaching the sitting President of the United States. In my life time there have been only 2 presidents who have been impeached William Jefferson Clinton over the intern affair and Donald James Trump, the only president to have been impeached twice – once over a congratulatory phone call to the newly elected Ukrainian President and the second over obstructing Congress.
It took 19 months for Congress to bring charges of impeachment against Trump and now 20 months for Congress to begin talking about impeaching Biden. But what will the charges be – exceeding his authority as a bully while a senator, or bullying another country as vice president or degrading national security by opening the southern border and having the gates welded open? Or that he was seen eating the wrong flavor of ice cream?
What offenses are worthy of impeachment?
The Constitution states them as any of these acts “Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors?”
However it’s up to the Speaker of the House of Representatives to make the call. Speaker Pelosi got into a feud with President Trump and to prove her point, lead 2 impeachments and the January 6th (a type of impeachment), with herself being in the direct line of succession. Now Speaker McCarthy has Okayed a committee to explore impeaching President Biden and he is now in the direct line of succession.
According to Constitutional Lawyers,
“High Crimes and Misdemeanors” are
Real criminality — breaking a law;
Abuses of power;
“Violation of public trust” as defined by Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers.
In 1970, then Representative Gerald R. Ford defined impeachable offenses as
“Whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history.”
Ford later went on to become President.
It’s a little known fact that since 1841 over one-third of all American Presidents have either died in office, became disabled, or resigned. However, no American President has ever been forced from office due to impeachment.
Only four times in our history, has Congress held serious discussions of Impeachment:
Andrew Johnson was actually impeached when Congress became unhappy with the way he was dealing with some post-Civil War matters, but Johnson was acquitted in the Senate by one vote and remained in office.
Congress introduced a resolution to impeach John Tyler over state’s rights issues, but the resolution failed.
Congress was debating his impeachment over the Watergate break-in when President Richard Nixon resigned.
William J. Clinton was impeached by the House on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in relationship to his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Clinton was eventually acquitted by the Senate.
So why does Congress feel that its members can threaten the President with Impeachment just because he doesn’t cave in to their political whims? Prolong that over 2+ years and it’s akin to the fable of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” where nobody took him seriously, even when the wolf showed up.
Let us take a real close and personal look at The Impeachment Process.
The Chairman of the Judiciary Committee will propose a Resolution calling for the Judiciary Committee to begin a formal inquiry into the issue of impeachment.
Based on their inquiry, the Judiciary Committee will send another Resolution to the full House stating that impeachment is warranted and why (the Articles of Impeachment), or that impeachment is not called for.
The Full House (probably operating under special floor rules set by the House Rules Committee) will debate and vote on each Article of Impeachment.
Should any one of the Articles of Impeachment be approved by a simple majority vote, the President will be “impeached.” However, being impeached is sort of like being indicted of a crime. There still has to be a trial, which is where the US Senate comes in.
In the Senate
The Articles of Impeachment are received from the House.
The Senate formulates rules and procedures for holding a trial.
A trial will be held. The President will be represented by his lawyers. A select group of House members will serve as “prosecutors.” The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (currently John G. Roberts) will preside with all 100 Senators acting as the jury.
The Senate will meet in private session to debate a verdict.
The Senate, in open session, will vote on a verdict. A 2/3 vote of the Senate will result in a conviction.
The Senate will vote to remove the President from office.
The Senate may also vote (by a simple majority) to prohibit the President from holding any public office in the future.
Impeachable Offenses
Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution says, “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
In his report, Independent Counsel, Starr accuses President Clinton of committing eleven acts for which he could be removed from office by impeachment.
In the past, Congress has issued Articles of Impeachment for acts in three general categories:
Behavior grossly incompatible with the proper function and purpose of the office.
Employing the power of the office for an improper purpose or for personal gain.
When a politician habitually gets away with wrongdoing his entire adult life and reaches the pinnacle in politics (POTUS) they seem to think they are above the law, or they are ignorant of the law so how can a lawyer turned politician be ignorant of the law?
Impeachment should never be used as a political weapon because POTUS has differing political beliefs. It should be used when there is justifiable cause and verifiable proof to back it up.
As I have often said these liberal warriors vocalize accusations which mimic offenses they themselves are guilty of yet because Impeachment is generally considered in relation to the President of the United States I’ll bet these “Congressional Scholars” haven’t considered that Impeachment can be done to any of them as well. – RTM
Instead of aiming to stop criminals from committing crimes politicians want to stop citizens from defending themselves by taking away their ability for self defence and/or punishing, fining or shutting down small arms manufacturers. While politicians seek the welfare of others, they devalue or ignore their constituents while claiming to stand for constitutional values.
While climbing on board the Open Boarders Train may look good on the outside, it undermines the Constitution and puts public safety in serious jeopardy. It’s been said that a nation without boarders is no nation at all. A nation unable to protect itself is bound to be conquered by any other nation willing to try.
Uniting a nation through Patriotism or National Pride is totally different than Anti-Nationalism. It is not racist to stand up for the National Anthem or the Flag. What is racist is to pay special attention or preference to any race over another.
Standing together is better than fighting each other.
If politicians wanted to stop Donald Trump from running for president again, they should change their political focus and try fixing what is wrong in America.
America First means looking out for the safety and welfare of ALL your constituents and every American citizen – PERIOD.
If immigration laws are problematic – change or replace them legislatively.
If gun violence is problematic (and it is) – support law enforcement to get and keep criminals with guns off the streets. The best way to stop a criminal with a weapon is a citizen with a weapon.
If killing of the innocent is problematic – protect the innocent!
Politicians who put their own political agenda ahead of their sworn duty to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States IS NOT GOOD FOR AMERICA!
Voters do your due diligence – VET YOUR POLITICIAN AGAINST YOUR CORE VALUES!
The bible defines what is good and what is bad according to the Creator God.
The US Constitution is the Rule of Law in our nation and is based upon those biblical principles.
Follow the Constitution to maintain Law and Order and Make America Safe Again by bringing God to the center of your life every day. Without God there is no good.
I don’t understand how lawyers turned politician always look for loopholes in the Constitution to suit their political objectives. Obama made a statement to the effect that unless it is prohibited by the Constitution I can do it (loosely paraphrased) – DACA.
Congress has known that immigration laws are problematic and they have the power to correct or change the affected parts or the law entirely, yet they hem and they haw over what is wrong but fail to make any substantial changes. It is easier to blow smoke about Trump’s wall than it is to remain silent when it comes to Biden’s open border policies. And to think that Obama and Biden came out of that same Congress mentality thinking only they had the answer. Trump had been a political outsider and therefore couldn’t possibly have known anything about domestic or foreign policy.
Recently New Mexico Governor Gresham stated that the Constitution wasn’t absolute as she invoked a medical emergency due to guns and suspended the 2nd Amendment for 2 counties in her state. It’s clear that her unconstitutional actions will harm, not help in the war on gun violence. Maybe she should find a way to lock up lawbreaking gang members, robbers, murders or those violating actual gun laws?
I’m not a rocket scientist, but it doesn’t take one to see that criminals with guns kill citizens without guns 100% of the time.
Until voters begin actually thinking and repeal bad politicians at the ballot box nothing will ever change – for the better. – RTM
Life can be lonely especially at the top. After reaching your peak friends start drifting or running away and those new “friends” may not be friends at all.
“It’s a very imperfect world, and you can’t always choose your friends. That’s life. But you can never fail to recognize your enemies.” – President Donald J Trump
I have watched as politicians wanting to get their name on record as they launch allegation after allegation of personal, political or professional wrongdoing against Donald Trump, when running for office, during his administration and even after leaving office in 2021.
Its mind boggling how every word, action or “perceived” infraction continues to set off the anti-Trumpers, Irregardless of political party. Take the House Freedom Caucus, made up of so-called free thinkers in Congress who are fed up with the politics as usual and want to see a change in Congress, when they announce that Trump must tell his MAGA followers to stand down.
How does that look when it comes to our personal freedoms as guaranteed by the First Amendment?
Plus the GOP urges Republicans to distance themselves from Trump. Why? Is there some sort of magnetism that will rub off on them or their political career? Might I remind the GOP that politics should never become a career where you retire and draw a pension from your elected office?
It would behoove politicians to listen to their constituents. Hear what we have to say. Stand up for OUR welfare, safety and benefit, not just your own political wellbeing.
Elections have consequences.
I have watched as politicians get on all sides of political issues except the right side that is aligned to what God’s Word says about it.
If killing is wrong, so must abortion be wrong.
If lying and stealing is wrong, so must slander and making false or misleading statements and accusations.
If the love of money is the root of all evil, how is your bank account since taking elected office?
I don’t care about your political party affiliation or party politics. If you are truly concerned for the welfare and public safety of Americans, why is immigration being used as a political weapon to gain votes, money or power?
There is one thing that I know Donald Trump throws no punches. He does not waffle on hot button political topics; he tells it like it is and brings hope for a better America.
As a politician, if you’re not for him, you are against him and might I remind you that elections have consequences. – RTM
It’s time to speak up. I’ve been a diehard Republican all my adult life and disillusioned by the GOP almost as long. How can anyone call themselves patriotic and of a political party that doesn’t take care of its citizens or guests at the same time? How does a government of the people, by the people not be for the people as our Constitution states?
Everyone knowns abortion, immigration and foreign policy are hot button topics. Congress has the power to changes them when it comes to common sense and morality, so why have they not?
Politicians of every political party make promises, yet nothing seems to change in what has been referred to as the swamp. There is an old saying that politics makes strange bedfellows.
When business tycoon Donald Trump campaigned for the presidency it was a breath of fresh air, not tainted by the politics of the Washington establishment. I was drawn to the direct honesty of his campaign speeches and promises – America First; Build the Wall; and The Best is yet to come. It was refreshing to hear someone publicly stand by the Constitution; for the flag and honor God, not government.
Initially we who swore an oath to defend the Constitution during military service began to consider ourselves as Constitutionalists. Over time we were lumped in with the MAGA crowd who support Donald Trump.
Democratic members of congress and the Obama administration had already labeled us who were white Americans, Veterans and Christians as enemies of the state. That labeling continued when Trump became president, and then we were being called the militant right.
When all the disobedience and civil unrest began following the inauguration of President Trump the actions of the militant and far left culminating in the events of January 6th 2021 were blamed on Trump and his MAGA followers.
I stand by my assessment that the insurrection and attempted coup by the progressive democratic leftists to make Trump ineffective and remove him from office has gone into overtime to insure that he never returns to the office of the president.
We are not violent, militant or subversive.
Our aim is as it was before Trump –
“I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”
Politicians have assumed that members of the military have sworn an allegiance to Donald Trump. I find it insulting and hypocritical that Republican “Party “House Freedom Caucus” spokesperson in congress has now called for Trump to tell his supporters to “stand down” – from what? Do not those same members of congress take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution? Or is it simply an oath to “do as I please in congress and the Constitution is to be damned”? The hypocrisy of American politics is so evident in what is happening in our nation today.
The nation was formed on godly biblical principles as a place where we are free to worship God, not ourselves, and/or natural or manmade objects. We must put God at the center of our lives, ask for HIS forgiveness of our disobedience (sin) and ask for HIS guidance, if this nation is to survive. – RTM
Have you ever stopped to think that everything you think you know about the world might not be correct at all?
After all there was a time when everyone thought the world was flat.
A great many European men and women traveled the world over making huge discoveries of other lands and the people who occupy them. Most of what we’ve been told has been handed down in documents, scrolls or history books.
We’ve been taught from the time we were born that things are the way they are because that’s the way it’s always been, right?
Wrong!
I’d hate to be the one to say we’ve been had or the history books have been wrong all along.
If world history is like beauty – in the eyes of the beholder, what if it’s just wrong?
I came across this online map of the African Continent dated 1260 A.H. and it took a closer examination to see what was obviously different. That got me to thinking, what if we’re on the wrong side of right? I altered a world map and the world as we know it is depicted as being upside down (take a closer look at both maps).
Now that you’ve seen is it really possible that scholars and map makers were wrong?
Just a glance at the MSM news headlines and almost to a “T” they all see Trump wrapped up in legal red tape that will insure he is the most unelectable candidate for the 2024 Presidential Election. Their assessment is that because of his multiple and growing legal indictments his followers are fleeing like rats from the Titanic. Even though key congressional GOP establishment figures have clammed up, fearing they will lose their own political base, MSM is spelling gloom and doom.
I guess they never got the memo that indictments are like flees to a dog. They are irritating and treated properly will lend light on the political opponents of Trump, rather than on Trump himself.
What I gather from all of this is the democratic left is running scared and pulling out all stops. Prosecutors and judges have made it known that in their eyes Trump is guilty and all that is left is finding a rope and a tree, even though there hasn’t been any convictions.
I seem to remember the KKK started out using the same tactics and we all thought that was something of the past. Didn’t President Biden sign a proclamation or official presidential document authorizing a statue to a young black teen who was brutally murdered in Chicago sometime back?
It seems that a political lynching is acceptable so long as the lynchee goes by the name of Trump.
Wouldn’t it be nice (humor me now) if the democratic president put the kibosh on all this political horseplay and pardon Trump of any and all suspected political wrongdoing? But wait there can be no crime without a conviction and therefore no presidential pardon without a crime. Who am I kidding, I know the president is a lawyer turned politician (like many of his congressional peers) and even he must know that.
The democratic political creed seems to be “applies to thee, but not to me”! – RTM
Have you ever seen a movie where rats are pouring out of a sea going vessel? Or maybe it was the undergrown sewers of London, New York City or any other big city? Once they begin, other rats appear seemingly from out of nowhere.
The only similarity is the rats competing for headlines since the flood gates opened and the green light was given to prosecute a former president – Donald J. Trump. By rats I mean lawyers, prosecutors and even judges wanting their names listed as the one who convicted Trump.
Well let me tell you he’s not convicted yet.
It makes you wonder why George W. Bush wasn’t prosecuted over WMD; Bill Clinton over Zippergate; Hillary Clinton over Benghazi? Every one of these demanded “heads will roll” yet none did, why – it was unprecedented to prosecute a president, former president or former first lady, but the rules are different because it’s Trump, right?
What makes it different – “allegations” of misconduct or wrongdoings, guilty until proven innocent in the court of public opinion, in the meantime let’s take it to “Court TV” and televise it so the entire nation, if not the world, is entertained and it takes the public eye off of what is really happening in America – Interference of the 2024 Election campaign season in which Trump is being forced out of due to a multitude of court appearances up and down the eastern seaboard.
Do I see a resemblance to the 4 years Trump was in office? What about the 2 years since he left office? High profile talking heads have already convicted Trump based on unsubstantiated and unproven Democratic Party initiated conjecture. The rest is only noise makers, keeping everyone occupied while the 2024 Presidential Election is being “finessed” even as we speak in order to give the edge to the political favorites in Trump’s absence from the campaign field. Do they not know that Trump doesn’t even have to campaign or expend campaign funds because of all the publicity that keeps his name and his picture in the news?
In 2017 – As Trump said to the FRC crowd: “It’s a very imperfect world, and you can’t always choose your friends. That’s life. But you can never fail to recognize your enemies.”
I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump was even locked up, he would win the election and after being inaugurated he would fully pardon himself, making that would be another historical first. – RTM
