fully, more will follow. So buckle-up lunatics and keep crying

wake up and pray to God that He will open your eyes before it is

     God's Perfect Patience Transforms Sinners
     Embracing the Lord's slowness to anger leads us from
rebellion to redemption.
     December 26th, 2024

     In our human experience, patience often wears thin, especially
when faced with repeated offenses. Yet, the Scriptures reveal a God
whose patience surpasses human understanding a divine patience that
transforms sinners into saints.

     *God's Relentless Patience
     The Bible portrays God as "slow to anger," a phrase that
appears multiple times, emphasizing His enduring patience. For in-
stance, Psalm 145:8 declares, "The Lord is gracious and compas-
sionate, slow to anger and rich in love." This divine attribute is
not a passive tolerance but an active extension of mercy towards
humanity.
     Consider the narrative of Israel. Despite witnessing God's
miraculous deliverance from Egypt, the Israelites quickly turned to
idolatry, crafting a golden calf to worship (Exodus 32:1–6). God's
response was a blend of justice and mercy. While He addressed their
sin, He also proclaimed His character to Moses: "The Lord, the Lord,
a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in stead-
fast love and faithfulness" (Exodus 34:6). This declaration under-
scores that God's patience is integral to His nature.

     *Patience Towards All
     God's patience extends beyond His chosen people to all of
humanity. The Apostle Peter writes, "The Lord is not slow in keep-
ing his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient
with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to
repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). This divine forbearance offers every
individual the opportunity to turn from sin and embrace salvation.
     Historical accounts further illustrate this truth. Before the
flood, God waited patiently while Noah built the ark, giving
humanity time to repent (1 Peter 3:20). Similarly, God delayed
judgment on the Amorites for four generations, demonstrating His
longsuffering nature (Genesis 15:16). These examples reveal a God
who, while just, provides ample opportunity for repentance.

     *Our Response to Divine Patience
     Understanding God's patience calls for a response. The Apostle
James advises believers to emulate this attribute: "Everyone should
be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry" 
(James 1:19). By reflecting God's patience in our interactions, we
become conduits of His grace to others.
     Moreover, recognizing God's patience should lead us to repen-
tance. As Paul reminds us, "Or do you show contempt for the riches
of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God's
kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?" (Romans 2:4).
God's patience is not permissiveness; it's an invitation to trans-
formation.

     *The Ultimate Expression of Patience
     The culmination of God's patience is found in Jesus Christ.
Throughout His ministry, Jesus displayed remarkable patience towards
His disciples, the crowds, and even His adversaries. His willingness
to endure the cross for the redemption of humanity epitomizes divine
longsuffering.
     Paul reflects on this, stating, "But for that very reason I was
shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might
display his immense patience as an example for those who would be-
lieve in him and receive eternal life" (1 Timothy 1:16). Through
Christ, we witness the fullness of God's patience, offering sal-
vation to all who believe.

     *Living in Light of God's Patience
     As recipients of God's patience, we are called to live in a
manner worthy of this gift. This involves extending patience to
others, fostering unity, and bearing with one another in love
(Ephesians 4:2). By doing so, we reflect the character of our
Heavenly Father and testify to the transformative power of His
patience.
     In a world often marked by impatience and quick judgments,
embodying God's slowness to anger serves as a beacon of hope and a
testament to the gospel's power. Let us, therefore, strive to mirror
our Creator's patience, leading others towards the redemption that
is found in Christ alone.

     The King James Version of God's Word (The most accurate) tells
us that we are to strive to be life Jesus, knowing that we all sin
everyday but living by God's Word and having Faith and cheerfully
giving are how we can live in eternity with the Lord.
     Re-writing the Bible only makes Heaven more difficult to get
to and living with Faith in God is even harder.
     We are to pray without ceasing and listen to His voice.

     US Census Bureau.
     Date: Wed, Apr 10, 2024

     Subject: US Census Bureau and Polls

     This should be a wake-up call.... A recent poll was
conducted by the national polling company "YouGov." These
are the results of the questions asked of average people
on the street.  The actual numbers come from US Census
Bureau. 
     *1. What percentage of the country is black?
     Answers 41%...  Actual 12%.  If you've seen TV
   commercials, you'd think it was 80%. 
     *2. What percentage of marriages are of mixed race?
     Answer 50%... Actual 1%. If you watched TV commer-
   cials, you'd think it was 90%. 
     *3. What percentage is "Latino"?
     Answers 39%... Actual number 17%. 
     *4. How many families make over $500,000 a year?
     Answers 26%.. Actual figure 1%.  We actually think
   that over a quarter of the country is that rich! 
     *5. What percent of Americans are vegetarians?
   Response? 30%... Actual 5%. 
     *6. What percent of Americans live in NY City?
     Answers? 30%...    Actual 3%. 
     *7. What percentage of Americans are 'transgender?
     Poll results 22%...  Actual number 1% 
     Ask yourself, why does the public seem to have such
   inaccurate thoughts on these statistics? 
     Answer:  THE MEDIA! The media air race, gender, and
  wealth stories and ads constantly. Result? We are being
  brainwashed by the Left with the knowing help of the
  MEDIA.  Hitler’s propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels
  would have been proud to have had half this success. 
     Disney recently went full-on "gender conscious," and
  will no longer welcome guests with their traditional
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls."
  Why? Because 1% of the population is dictating to the
 other 99% and corporate America falls for it. Regardless
 of what you've heard, fewer than 20% of Americans actually
 use "Twitter" yet, until recent changes there, Twitter
 disseminated 80% of public opinion. Why? Because the MEDIA
 is so effective at what it does. It promotes.... as well
 as censors.  Think about it! 
     Next time you are thinking Americans have changed, and
  not in a good way, remember, it's mostly fake.  Simply
  propaganda designed to sway and change thoughts and
  beliefs.
     It's all a lie. Most people think just like you do but
the “MEDIA” continues to brainwash Americans with their con-
stant broadcast of LIES. It's called social engineering.
     It's here and it's effective.
     Today's media seems to exist only to make sure that
the tail wags the dog. The LEFT tail!
     This is a collection of data sent to me but if you
listen to the corrupt "MEDIA" and don't seek the true and
verifiable facts, you will remain misinformed.
     There is not a more reliable source than the govern-
ment but the Census in 2020 was subject to the selective
information that the Left published.
     Think for yourself and find unbiased links that do
tend to skew the truth.
     It is similar to deciding which version of the Bible
you want to hang your eternal life. A simple clue is that
there are some 900 versions, 200 English versions and
they all don't contain the same Books.
     Do your research and pray that God will give you His
true Word.

   FEC Goes After Fraudulent Donations

     **FEC Moves to Crack Down on Fraudulent Campaign Donations
     By Chelsea Betonie / November 29, 2024

     The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is seeking public input
on proposed rule changes to combat fraudulent campaign contribu-
tions, particularly through untraceable electronic payments. This
comes in the wake of allegations of donation laundering schemes
involving stolen identities and false payment methods, raising
significant concerns about the integrity of campaign financing.
     Last month, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called for a
Department of Justice investigation into ActBlue, citing evidence
of fraudulent donations allegedly laundered through the platform.
According to Paxton, a network of false identities was used to
make thousands of small-dollar contributions, potentially masking
illegal sources of funds.
     The scheme, previously highlighted by Peter Bernegger of
ElectionWatch.info and journalist James O’Keefe, involves using
the identities of senior citizens to funnel repeated small-dollar
donations into campaigns. Many victims were unaware their names
had been used, and some expressed shock when confronted with re-
cords of thousands of dollars in contributions made in their names.
     In addition to identity theft concerns, the scheme could ex-
pose victims to unintended tax liabilities, further complicating
the fallout from these fraudulent practices.
     In response to these allegations, the FEC has proposed amend-
ments to its regulations governing credit card contributions. The
changes include:
     Enhanced Record-Keeping: Contributions made using credit,
debit, prepaid, or gift cards would require a cross-check between
the contributor’s reported information and the issuing institution’s
records to confirm the cardholder’s name and billing address.
Restrictions on Prepaid Cards: Contributions from prepaid or gift
cards would only be accepted if their issuing institution’s records
can confirm the required identifying information. The FEC opened
the public comment period for these proposed amendments on Novem-
ber 26, 2024, and it will remain open until January 27, 2025.
     The FEC’s proposed changes come at a time when the Supreme
Court has overturned Chevron Deference, which allowed federal
agencies significant leeway in interpreting laws. This decision
could invite legal challenges to the FEC’s authority to implement
these rules or lead to non-compliance by organizations like ActBlue,
despite their recent adoption of basic security measures, such as
requiring CVV numbers on donations.
     While the FEC’s amendments represent a step toward trans-
parency, Congress has yet to act on the issue. Senator Marco Rubio’s
proposed CVV Act, introduced in February 2023, would require all
internet-based contributions to include a credit verification value
(CVV) check. The one-sentence bill has languished in committee for
over two years without a vote.
     The focus on fraudulent campaign donations has also reignited
broader concerns about money laundering in U.S. elections. Former
Polish politician Piotr Kulpa recently alleged that half of U.S.
aid to Ukraine is being funneled back to Democratic campaigns,
claims echoed by investigations into FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried
and NGO payment structures.
     Peter Bernegger has further claimed that foreign funds from
China and Ukraine may pass through U.S. Treasury channels and
multiple NGOs before reaching campaign coffers, with each inter-
mediary allegedly taking a percentage cut.
These controversies come amid striking disparities in fundraising
between political campaigns. According to Ballotpedia, Kamala
Harris’s 2024 campaign raised an estimated $1 billion, making it
the second-highest-funded campaign since 2008. By contrast, Donald
Trump’s campaign raised $391 million, the second-lowest during the
same period.
     With the FEC opening public comment on these crucial rule
changes, the issue of campaign finance fraud is once again in the
spotlight. Whether these measures will be sufficient to curb illicit
donations or face resistance in the courts remains to be seen.
However, the revelations about fraudulent schemes and the growing
influence of foreign funds underscores the urgent need for reform to
restore trust in the electoral system.
     For the public, this comment period represents an opportunity
to weigh in on safeguarding the integrity of campaign contribu-
tions—an essential step in preserving democracy.**

     When the Dems announced that they raised $500M in one day you
have to suspect that something was not right. Then they said they
had raised almost $1B and didn't blink. It was an obvious scream
for help but then articles about people questioning donations they
never made, their reputation jumped off the page. How many years
are we going to let them pull these stunts.
     If it's not dead people voting, a problem with their ballots
and yet they get away with it. These things have been going on for
decades. It is time to return to basics like photo IDs and paper
ballots and same day voting.
     God has had enough, now it is our turn to clean up the rest
of the swamp. Pray for our future.

  Conservatively,
  John

 

 	How Old Are We When We Reach Heaven?
        Author unknown

     Exploring the mystery of our eternal state in God’s presence.
     The question of how old we will be in heaven is one that has
intrigued Christians for centuries. When we think about eternity
with God, it’s natural to wonder what our resurrected bodies will
be like and whether we will retain our earthly characteristics,
including our age. While the Bible doesn’t provide a direct answer,
it does offer insights that can guide our understanding of what
life in heaven might be like.

     *The Promise of Resurrection
     First and foremost, the Bible assures us that we will be given
new, glorified bodies in the resurrection.
     In 1 Corinthians 15:42-44, Paul writes, "So will it be with
the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable,
it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in
glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a
natural body, it is raised a spiritual body." This passage empha-
sizes that our resurrected bodies will be fundamentally different
from our earthly ones—they will be imperishable, glorious, and
powerful.
     These new bodies will no longer be subject to aging, decay,
or death. Revelation 21:4 tells us, "He will wipe every tear from
their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or
pain, for the old order of things has passed away." In heaven, the
limitations and sufferings associated with our current physical
state will be gone, replaced by a perfect, eternal existence.

     *The Age of Perfection
     While Scripture doesn’t specify an exact age we will be in
heaven, many theologians suggest that we will exist in the prime
of life, reflecting a state of perfect maturity. This idea is
based on the belief that our resurrected bodies will be free from
the imperfections and frailties of both youth and old age.
     Some point to the age of Jesus at the time of His resurrec-
tion—around 33 years old—as a possible indication of our age in
heaven. Jesus’ resurrected body was recognizable, yet transformed,
and He was in the fullness of His physical and spiritual maturity.
If we are to be like Him in our resurrection, as 1 John 3:2 states,
"we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is," it’s possible
that we too will be at our peak, reflecting the best of what God
intended for humanity.

     *Eternal Youth or Timelessness?
     Another perspective is that in heaven, age as we understand it
may no longer be relevant. Eternity transcends time, and our exis-
tence in heaven may be characterized by a timelessness where age
simply doesn’t apply. The concept of eternal youth or agelessness
is appealing because it suggests that we will be forever in a state
of vitality and joy, unmarked by the passage of time.
     C.S. Lewis, in his writings on heaven, often imagined it as a
place where time as we know it no longer matters. In The Great
Divorce, he depicts the inhabitants of heaven as radiant and beau-
tiful, their appearances reflecting their inner spiritual reality
rather than an earthly age. This suggests that in heaven, our
physical appearance will be a reflection of our spiritual wholeness
rather than our earthly years.
     *Recognizing Loved Ones
     A common concern for many believers is whether we will recog-
nize our loved ones in heaven, and if so, whether their age will be
the same as we remember. While the Bible doesn’t give a detailed
description, it does provide clues that recognition will be poss-
ible. After His resurrection, Jesus was recognized by His disciples,
though His glorified body was different in some ways
(Luke 24:31-32). This suggests that our relationships and recogni-
tion of one another will continue in heaven, though perhaps in a
transformed way.
     The joy of reunion in heaven won’t be dependent on our earthly
appearances or ages. Instead, it will be rooted in our shared love
for Christ and the perfect fellowship we will experience with one
another. The essence of who we are—our identities in Christ—will
remain, and that will be the basis of our recognition and relation-
ships in eternity.

     *The Focus on Eternity
     Ultimately, the exact details of our age in heaven are second-
ary to the greater reality of being in God’s presence for eternity.
The Bible’s focus is not on the specifics of our appearance or age,
but on the promise of eternal life with God, where we will ex-
perience perfect joy, peace, and love.
     Philippians 3:20-21 reminds us, "But our citizenship is in
heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus
Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under
his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be
like his glorious body." Our future hope is not in retaining our
earthly attributes, but in being fully transformed into the like-
ness of Christ, sharing in His glory and living in the fullness of
God’s love.

     *Conclusion
     While we may not know exactly how old we will be in heaven, we
can trust that our resurrected bodies will be perfect, free from
the limitations of this world. Whether we retain a specific age or
exist in a state of timelessness, the most important truth is that
we will be with God, fully alive and fully loved. As we look for-
ward to that day, we can rest in the assurance that heaven will be
more glorious than we can imagine, and our questions about age will
pale in comparison to the joy of eternity with our Creator.

  Conservatively,
  John

	**The Direction of America
        Author Unknown (edited)

     "Men, like nations, think they're invincible.  What man in his
20s or 30s doesn't believe, at least subconsciously, that he'll
live forever? In the springtime of youth, an endless summer beckons.
As you pass 70, it's harder to hide from reality.... as you lose
friends and relatives.
     Nations also have seasons: Imagine a Roman of the 2nd century
contemplating an empire that stretched from Britain to the Near
East, thinking: This will endure forever.... Forever was about 500
years, give or take.... not bad, but gone!
     France was pivotal in the 17th and 18th centuries; now the
land of Charles Martel is on its way to becoming part of the Muslim
ummah.
     In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the sun never set on the
British empire; now Albion exists in perpetual twilight. Its 96-
year-old sovereign is a fitting symbol for a nation in terminal
decline.
     In the 1980s, Japan seemed poised to buy the world. Business
schools taught Japanese management techniques. Today, its birth
rate is so low and its population aging so rapidly that an industry
has sprung up to remove the remains of elderly Japanese who die
alone.
     I was born in 1949, almost at the midpoint of the 20th century
- the American century. America's prestige and influence were never
greater. Thanks to the 'Greatest Generation,' we won a World War
fought throughout most of Europe, Asia, and the Pacific. We reduced
Germany to rubble and put the rising sun to bed It set the stage
for almost half a century of unprecedented prosperity.
     We stopped the spread of communism in Europe and Asia and
fought international terrorism. We rebuilt our enemies and lavished
foreign aid on much of the world. We built skyscrapers and rockets
to the moon. We conquered Polio and now COVID. We explored the
mysteries of the Universe and the wonders of DNA...the blueprint of
life.
     But where is the glory that once was Rome? America has moved
from a relatively free economy to socialism - which has worked so
well NOWHERE in the world.
     We've gone from a republican government guided by a constitu-
tion to a regime of revolving elites. We have less freedom with
each passing year. Like a signpost to the coming reign of terror,
the cancel culture is everywhere. We've traded the American
Revolution for the Cultural Revolution.
     The pathetic creature in the White House is an empty vessel
filled by his handlers. At the G-7 Summit, 'Dr. Jill' had to lead
him like a child. In 1961, when we were young and vigorous, our
leader was too. Now a feeble nation is technically led by the
oldest man to ever serve in the presidency.
     We can't defend our borders, our history (including
monuments to past greatness) or our streets. Our cities have
become anarchist playgrounds. We are a nation of dependents,
mendicants, and misplaced charity.  Homeless veterans camp in the
streets while illegal aliens are put up in hotels.
     The president of the United States can't even quote the
beginning of the Declaration of Independence ('You know - The
Thing') correctly. Ivy League graduates routinely fail history
tests that 5th graders could pass a generation ago. Crime rates
soar and we blame the 2nd. Amendment and slash police budgets.
     Our culture is certifiably insane. Men who think they're
women. People who fight racism by seeking to convince members of
one race that they're inherently evil, and others that they are
perpetual victims. A psychiatrist lecturing at Yale said she fan-
tasizes about 'unloading a revolver into the head of any white
person.'
     We slaughter the unborn in the name of freedom, while our
birth rate dips lower year by year. Our national debt is so high
that we can no longer even pretend that we will repay it one day.
It's a $36-trillion monument to our improvidence and refusal to
confront reality. Our 'entertainment' is sadistic, nihilistic, and
as enduring as a candy bar wrapper thrown in the trash.  Our music
is noise that spans the spectrum from annoying to repulsive.
     Patriotism is called an insurrection, treason celebrated, and
perversion sanctified. A man in blue gets less respect than a man
in a dress. We're asking soldiers to fight for a nation our leaders
no longer believe in.
     How meekly most of us submitted to Fauci-ism (the regime of
face masks, lockdowns, and hand sanitizers) shows the impending
death of the American spirit.
     How do nations slip from greatness to obscurity?
* Fighting endless wars they can't or won't win
* Accumulating massive debt far beyond their ability to repay
* Refusing to guard their borders, allowing the nation to be
inundated by an alien horde
* Surrendering control of their cities to mob rule
* Allowing indoctrination of the young
* Moving from a republican form of government to an oligarchy
* Losing national identity
* Indulging indolence
* Abandoning God, faith and family - the bulwarks of any stable
society.
     In America, every one of these symptoms is pronounced, indi-
cating an advanced stage of the disease.
     Even if the cause seems hopeless, do we not have an obligation
to those who sacrificed so much to give us what we had? I'm sur-
rounded by ghosts urging me on: the Union soldiers who held
Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, the battered bastards of Bastogne,
those who served in the cold hell of Korea, the guys who went to
the jungles of Southeast Asia and came home to be reviled or
neglected.
     This is the nation that took in my immigrant grandparents,
whose uniform my father and most of my uncles wore in the Second
World War. I don't want to imagine a world without America, even
though it becomes increasingly likely.
     During Britain's darkest hour, when its professional army was
trapped at Dunkirk and a German invasion seemed imminent, Churchill
reminded his countrymen.
"Nations that go down fighting rise again, and those that surrender
tamely are finished."
     The same might be said of causes. If we let America slip
through our fingers, if we lose without a fight, what will poster-
ity say of us?
     While the prognosis is far from good. Only God knows if
America's day in the sun is over."**
     God has blessed us with a new leader who knows how to win and
now it is time we restore America's glory and the American Dream.
     We pray for His Grace.

in a position of being semi-comatose chowderheads applauding like
over-fed seals every time they hear what they want to hear.
     I hope I'm not being too harsh.
     The two candidates are now even in the polls so it is my obli-
gation to report the absolute truth about both of them because the
incredibly high stakes demand it.
     Next week, we will analyze Ms. Kamala, but here we laser focus
on Donald Trump, the most controversial president of all time.
Sorry, Andrew Jackson and Richard Nixon.
     Your personal assessment of President Trump is most likely
correct, at least in part, no matter what it is.  That's because
the man has many facets.
     Everyone can see the flaws.  No need to type up a list.  But
some of his brash words and deeds have worked for him. No other
person in history has achieved the presidency fighting the en-
trenched system with no political experience. Repeat: no one has
ever done that.
     Michael Bloomberg is as wealthy as Trump, ran New York City
well as mayor, and got absolutely waxed when he campaigned for
the White House.
     Why?  Because he was rather boring and was way too inde-
pendent for the Democratic machine.
     In 2016, Trump destroyed the Republican machine by being
outrageous and entertaining.  Who would you rather have dinner
with - Trump or Bloomberg?
     Your humble correspondent has dined with both.  Learned a lot
from each. The meals went quicker with Trump.
     So his bombastic style has benefited the Don and he's not
going to change.  Some thought he would after a bullet almost
killed him.  But like Teddy Roosevelt, he's returned badder than
ever.  That, of course, has a double edge.
     Last week's confrontation at the Black Journalist forum proves
my assertions. Trump generously accepted an invitation from the
group because he believes he has a solid message for African
Americans: his economic policies helped create prosperity for them.
     That's true.
     Kamala Harris declined the group's invite because the dialogue
was unscripted. Like President Biden, Ms. Harris fears that.  In
fact, the only tough interview the Vice President has done in 42
months was with Lester Holt, who had to tell Kamala she did not go
to the border when she insisted she had.
     Not missing a beat, Kamala Harris then said she didn't go to
Europe either. 
     "Oh!".
     Anyway, Donald Trump was apparently surprised when Black
journalist and ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott pounded him with
her first question.
     "A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to
be here today ... you have told four congresswomen of color who
were American citizens to go back where they came from.  You have
used words like 'animal' and 'rabbit' to describe Black attorneys.
You've attacked Black journalists, calling them a loser..."
     Phew.  Ms. Scott wasn't really asking a question; she was
accusing President Trump of being a racist.
     Taking the bait, Trump scolded Rachel Scott which is what he
always does when attacked.  And Scott's monologue was certainly a
vicious exposition.
     Put aside the fact that Donald Trump is an equal opportunity
insulter, why would a journalist seeking information not be speci-
fic in defining what she sees as a serious problem? That's not
hard.  You put names and dates and context in your query.  Let
the audience clearly understand the issue.
     But Ms. Scott was not seeking information.  She wanted to play
to the hate-Trump crew.  High fives all around.
     The situation was almost exactly the same as the Megyn Kelly
debate question in 2016. Back then, it was Trump denigrating women.
Rachel Scott simply plugged in her group.
     Like 2016, Trump immediately understood the attack and lashed
back at the 32-year-old ABC correspondent.  He is not a man of re-
straint, and his base doesn't want him to be.
     From there, the "interview" devolved into what ethnic group
Kamala Harris identifies with.  My question: who cares?  Trump
tried to make the point that Harris uses ethnicity to advance her-
self, that she's an opportunist.  But what came across was racial
spite.  Skin color should never be an issue.
     It is clear Donald Trump needs a savvy media advisor to pre-
pare him when facing contentious situations.  Personal animosity
will lose the former president's votes no matter how deserving the
target is.  One more thing: the "hate Trump" press has nothing to
lose by being unfair. It is now expected and rewarded.
     Lost in all the fog is compelling evidence that Donald Trump's
governance was better than Biden/Harris by a wide margin. All the
polls indicate voters know that.
     So, the truth is that Trump is pretty much running against
himself.  Skin color, ethnicity, insults, and derision are all
distractions from the reality that Harris is a deeply committed
far-left progressive while Trump is a successful deal maker, a
libertarian capitalist whose vision helped build economic pros-
perity for Americans of all colors.
     That's the truth. We'll know in November if Americans accept
it.**
     By now you know that the right person for the job won. We
have been given a chance to rebuild and unify the nation by the
grace of God.

	God Turns Trials into Gifts

     **God Turns Our Hardest Trials into His Greatest Gifts
     How Suffering Leads Us to Christ's True Blessings
     October 22nd, 2024 / Faith Activist

     When we face life’s harshest moments, we often struggle to
see God’s hand at work. For Vicky, this reality became stark when
a job interview in 1976 turned into a nightmare. Assaulted and
left for dead, she survived but was paralyzed. It’s tempting to
question how such tragedies fit into God’s plan. But it was
through her immense suffering that she discovered a deeper,
eternal healing in Christ.
     The apostle Paul tells us in Romans 8:28 that for those who
love God, “all things work together for good.” But what does
“good” mean when life leaves us shattered? We often equate “good”
with comfort, health, and prosperity. Yet, God’s definition
reaches far beyond. His good is eternal, shaping us to be more
like Christ. Vicky’s paralysis was not a curse, but a path leading
her to Christ, where she found a deeper peace that earthly com-
forts could never provide. Her tragic day became the start of her
spiritual rebirth.
     God promises in Scripture that He does not withhold good from
His children (Psalm 84:11). Yet, His good may not be what we
expect. As believers, we may suffer trials, pain, or loss, but
these hardships serve a greater purpose. Through suffering, we are
drawn into closer communion with Christ. We are conformed to His
image, sharing in His sufferings, as Paul highlights in 2 Corin-
thians 1:5.
     In a world focused on immediate relief, we need the perspec-
tive that our present trials are “light and momentary” compared
to the “eternal weight of glory” awaiting us (2 Corinthians
4:17-18). Suffering teaches us profound truths: it reveals our
dependence on God (2 Corinthians 1:9), opens the way to share in
Christ’s sufferings, and reminds us of life’s brevity
(Psalm 90:1-12).
     While healing and restoration are good gifts, they are not
always the best gifts. God’s greatest blessings are those that
endure for eternity. Vicky realized that though she lost the
ability to walk, she gained something far greater: a personal
relationship with Christ and the promise of eternal joy.
     When we look at life through the lens of eternity, we under-
stand that God’s ultimate goal is our transformation. Romans 8:29
tells us that God’s purpose is to conform us to the image of His
Son. It is through suffering that we often see this transformation
most clearly. God is not primarily concerned with our comfort in
this life, but with our Christlikeness.
     Does the cost of following Christ seem too high? We may
hesitate, fearing that the trials we face are too painful. But
Scripture reassures us that every trial is working toward our
eternal good. If God did not spare His own Son but gave Him up
for us, how will He not also give us everything we need to per-
severe (Romans 8:31-32)?
     Vicky’s story serves as a powerful reminder that suffering
is not the end. It is a pathway to glory. As she looks forward to
the day she will meet Christ, she knows that her earthly trials
have a purpose far greater than she could have imagined.
     If you are facing hardship today, take heart. God is using
it to mold you into the image of His Son. And though the road may
be difficult, the reward is beyond comparison.

insights into living out your faith in challenging times.**

     God always has a plan and knows that everyday we sin and
with that comes learning. We endure many more good days than bad
when we see how difficult it is to be a God fearing Christian
and we are blessed everyday the sun comes up and we are blessed
with his gifts.
     Pray and repent each day with the final reward as your
guiding light.

 	    **Why Trump?
     Much of this was taken from an Epoch Times letter by Val
Touba of New Hampshire. Now the rest of the story.
     Despite the handful of experienced and accomplished individuals
that ran for the 2024 Republican nomination, here are four reasons
for why I voted for Trump.
     Trump chose not to attend because he would be the target of
many attacks.
     *1. Trump has a gift that others don't.
He has the ability to see problems long before others. Need Proof?
Go back to the debates. In spite of his absence from the stage, the
big issues being debated are the very same ones President Trump
courageously spoke of in 2015 when he launched his 2016 campaign.
The decimation of U.S. manufacturing caused by unfair one-sided
trade deals; illegal immigration and an influx of drugs and violent
criminals crossing our borders; China's attempts to undermine the
U.S. by spying and currency manipulation; liberation from Middle
East conflicts by domestic oil production; Islamic extremism; and
last but not least, restoring the American Dream to our children.
     *2. Trump, a businessman, understands international and domes-
tic macroeconomics better than any president since Reagan. He grasps
the complex relationships between government debt, gross domestic
product, interest rates, trade deficits, federal policy, monetary
exchange rates, and more. Most importantly, he knows how to leverage
that knowledge to our country's advantage. He demonstrated that
skill dealing with the CCP when he saw the damage being done to our
steel industry and responded with well-placed tariffs.
     *3. President Trump's reaction to the 2020 election was, and
still is understandable and legitimate when you consider his cir-
cumstances. There were dozens of videos and documented irregulari-
ties showing why he insisted that the drop boxes and voting
machines could me manipulated but over 60 liberal judges refused
to even review nearly all of the lawsuits but I continue to think
that one day the truth will surface. The Durham Report concluded
unequivocally that the FBI and DOJ colluded with the Clinton's
campaign and the mainstream media to destroy Trump's candidacy
with a Russian collusion hoax. Ask yourself Why wouldn't Trump
interpret every election anomaly as a deliberate attempt to
destroy his chances for re-election? If it were you, wouldn't
you convince yourself that corrupt conspirators in the "Swamp"
and the swing states were trying to rig the election against you?
     *4. As a parent and grandparent, I owe it to my progeny to be
a "policy voter." Laws and policies during the next administration
will have repercussions that will endure for decades and genera-
tions, long after the "mean tweets" or regrettable quips of pres-
idental candidates are rendered meaningless or forgotten entirely.
So, which Republican can I comfortably rely on to fight for the
policies that benefit me and my descendants?**

     Trump is a pragmatic realist and spent his first term in a
battle with the Senate and House controlled by Democrats and a
uphill battle the entire term.
     When he announced his run for office he was attacked from
day one to this day. He was accused of various sexual assault, rape
and a variety of other things including Russian collusion by 16
women that were all dropped and after $40M and nearly two years
the collusion claim was disproven.
     By then the Democrats had become desperate and began creating
new uses for lawfare. So far, corrupt judges and AGs cases seem to
have fallen apart. Now we are down to one case that will surely
fail under appeal.
     They used misdemeanors and skewed laws to create indictments
but are now in a panic since Trump won the 2024 election by a
landslide and they have still not found a law that he has actually
broken.
     We are now 40 days from Trump's inauguration and he has let
them all know what a new restored America will look like.

     God told us that he will save His people and it appears that
God gave the Democrats enough rope to hang themselves to hopefully
keep the U.S. a Republic for years to come.

  Conservatively,
  John

        **Trump is a Folk Hero
        Steve Boehme / Epoch Times

     We're so overwhelmed with news, and world events are happening
so fast, it's easy to forget that history is taking shape right
right in front of us. We've just been through an intense election
season with seismic implications on the future of our country and
the world. Whatever you may think of President Trump, there's no
denying that he is now and important historical figure.
     Growing up, we all learned about legendary men and women who
shaped our country in one way or another. Each one came with a
narrative, true or exaggerated. "Honest Abe" Lincoln. George
Washington and the cherry tree. Paul Revere's ride. Patrick Henry's
"Give me liberty or give me death speech" These men became larger-
than-life legends, but in their lifetimes they were just exceptional
men; brave men that made our society what it is today.
     Most of them were not politicians. "Johnny Appleseed" was a
nurseryman and a real estate speculator. "Molly Pitcher" was a
soldier's wife. "John Henry" was a railroad construction worker.
"Paul Bunyan" was a logger. "Calamity Jane" was a horsewoman and
sharpshooter, but not before working as a dancer, laundress, and
possibly even a prostitute.
     Some were show business celebrities, like "Buffalo Bill" Cody,
"Wild Bill" Hickok, and Annie Oakley. Others were completely
fictional, like Huckleberry Finn, Br're Rabbit, Rip Van Winkle.
In the world of politics, we all learned about Benjamin Franklin,
John Brown, Davy Crocket, Daniel Boone, and Benedict Arnold.
Shaping our history, there were even famous criminals like Jesse
James and Billy the Kid.
     Enter Donald Trump, a real estate mogul who built skyscrapers,
golf courses, and casinos. He created a wildly popular TV series,
"The Apprentice". He was a master of self-promotion; everything he
did made the news. He became independently wealthy. His name was
a household word by the time he entered politics.
     We've watched in amazement ever since, as Trump turned the
worlds of politics and mas media upside down. Like a bull in a
China shop, but with pinpoint aim, he opened our eyes to the to
the corruption that had seeped into every area of American life.
At great personal risk and sacrifice, he devoted his amazing talent
to saving our country. Against overwhelming attempts to cripple
him, he never wavered and never lost sight of his mission. "Make
America Great Again".
     Donald Trump is a true American folk hero, for the ages.
God Bless Him.**

     Trump was a Democrat until the 1990s. He is an extremely
generous patriot that didn't even take a salary as President. He
has committed many 'Random acts of kindness'. He did more for
American citizens than any president in over 30 years.
     Sadly few people care enough to find out just who he really
is or take the time to seek the truth about him. Search what a
'pragmatic realist' and you will recognize who Trump is and why
he is so good at what he does. It will wake you up.
     The corrupt media, who seems to finally wake up, is the
reason that so many have allowed themselves to be brainwashed to
avoid thinking for themselves.

     He will go down in history as one of the best presidents in
our history, if not the greatest.

  John
