"Benjamin Franklin said there were only two things certain in life: death and taxes"

I couldn't find anything about that statement, 'Trump was born into a Calvinist family' Could you give us your source, specifically, of where you found it... Thanks.

You have been here a few days. You started this topic. You posted a lot of words. But, what is your point? What do you want to accomplish here? What is your agenda? Can you make it plain? Are you trying to edify or bash our president. Help us to understand. A troublemaker plants seeds of strife; Proverbs 16:28 You been doing a lot of sowing here. Are you a troublemaker? Show us it ain't so....

It's just more wood thrown on the burning fire of hate/envy to keep it burning, like the democratic cry babies in their safe rooms, cursing their bad luck missing Harris. Nothing better to do, like maybe pray, start a prayer group for the President, or heaven forbid, go out and share the Good News to those still in the darkness. Constructive stuff to encourage and support of the president of our country. Thanks again, Patticats..

They are the chosen of God people. DNA. You'll have to ask God. And we can benefit. “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you Kinda explains a lot.. Thanks >8

I try never to judge another's salvation. Only God and the devil know. You are basing your understanding from mainstream media, other sources etc. But have you met him, talked to him, listened to him in a conversation. If I was to use that criteria to judge, then I would wonder about your own salvation. I don't know you, only what you have posted here. I do know the accomplishments of our President, and what he is trying to make better amongst so much criticism.

Which god is that, >8 ?

Actually, there is a concern that many farm hand will be out of work in near future. Qt; "Automation in farms has significantly reduced the number of labor hands needed to work, as machines and automated systems have taken over many manual tasks previously performed by human workers, leading to increased efficiency and reduced reliance on manual labor on farms; this trend has been particularly notable in recent years due to growing labor shortages in agriculture." And AI tech combined with robotics will reduce common labor jobs exponentially.

"Soon And Very Soon" Amen, and amen. Great time to tell others about the great news. Below a short study I receive daily. THE WORD FOR YOU TODAY Saturday February 8 “You are the salt of the earth…You are the light of the world.” Mt 5:13-14 NKJV You are called to be salt and light Jesus gave us two everyday metaphors so that we could clearly understand how He wants us to serve and represent Him each day. Let’s look at each of them. (1) Salt. The only thing that can threaten salt is sitting in a shaker so long that it gets damp, loses its flavor, and can’t be sprinkled. Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men” (v. 13 NKJV). The word flavor means to enrich. It’s not enough to enjoy good preaching and rich insights from your Bible reading; you’re called to share and sprinkle them on others. (2) Light. Instead of isolating yourself from the world, you’re supposed to illuminate it. Darkness is not a threat to light; it’s where the light does its best work. Jesus said: “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (vv. 14-16 NKJV). The word gospel means “the good news.” In a world of increasing despair, you are called to bring the light of the gospel to those living in spiritual darkness. So, the word for you today is—be salt and light. Thanks Neighbor...

BOOOOOOOOOOOO!............

"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth"

From The Patriot Post Regime Change in America? There is evidence that USAID and the CIA covertly orchestrated the 2019 impeachment of Donald Trump. Author, Gary Bauer I want to share a deeply troubling report with you that is just beginning to get legs. It is important to state up front that the source of this information is not a well-known conservative group or media outlet. The source is Michael Schellenberger, once described as a “Democrat climate activist” who voted for Joe Biden. But he became alienated from liberalism as it grew increasingly intolerant and embraced censorship. He was instrumental in exposing the depths of government censorship operations in the United States after Elon Musk took over Twitter and opened up its internal operations to independent review. Schellenberger and his group of investigative journalists have just revealed information that could be earthshattering: There is evidence that USAID and the CIA covertly orchestrated the 2019 impeachment of Donald Trump over his phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky. As you might expect, the details are somewhat complex, but here are the central facts. CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella, an Obama holdover, filed a whistleblower report claiming that Trump abused his power by attempting to extort Zelensky, demanding he investigate the Biden family’s dealings in Ukraine in exchange for military aid. Ciaramella was NOT on the call. He claimed he got the information from a source inside the White House. In his complaint, Ciaramella cited reporting from a group called the “Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project” (OCCRP) four times. The OCCRP report alleged that Rudy Giuliani was connected to Ukrainian prosecutors by two businessmen. The convoluted Giuliani connection was key to the Democrats’ impeachment effort. Now, this is where things take a disturbing turn. The OCCRP is not an independent group that fights corruption. In a documentary produced last year about the OCCRP, an official at USAID states that they essentially control the OCCRP by approving its “annual work plan” and the hiring of “key personnel.” Schellenberger adds that the goals of the OCCRP “appear to include interfering in foreign political matters, including elections, aimed at regime change.” In fact, the OCCRP'S co-founder admitted to the documentary producers that his organization was likely “responsible for five or six countries changing over from one government to another government … and getting prime ministers indicted or thrown out.” So, what do we have here? A CIA agent is using information produced by an organization controlled by USAID to concoct a story that Democrats then used to launch their impeachment effort. Here’s how Schellenberger sums it all up: “As such, it appears that the CIA, USAID, and OCCRP were all involved in the impeachment of President Trump in ways similar to the regime change operations that all three organizations engage in abroad. The difference is that it is highly illegal and even treasonous for the CIA, USAID, and its contractors and intermediaries … to interfere in US politics this way.” If this is true, that a variety of alphabet soup agencies worked together to set up the impeachment of the president of the United States, we are at a moment of crisis in America. Elon Musk’s work to “audit” the federal government and expose corruption is more important than ever!

I'm a real know it little. Very little of what/where corrupt aid was being sent surprises me. I figured everybody knew our democratic government was corrupt. Though suspecting it was not like finding out how true the corruption really is. I'm beginning to appreciate Donald J. I Pray for him.

Trump hired a smart guy. Elon hired a smart guy. Smart. Thanks, NC

Psalm 51, my often go to chapter to clean up my heart to share scripture. Don't know if the public will ever see a humbled Donald. He would maybe consider that a weakness not to reveal. Don't know. There are few people I know that allow their brokenness to be made public. I'm usually in my shop with the Lord considering my ways when the spirit moves upon heart and humbles me. I was not comparing Trump with David. My point, that even a man after God's own heart can fall into the deft of sin, not perfect, humbled and repent. David's sin was a part of scripture, maybe one of the most known sin. Made known for a reason, our benefit to learn from it. There but by the grace of God go I. None of of us are perfect yet. We screw up regularly. If I knew you, like you know you, I wouldn't listen to anything you had to say. But, if you knew me, like I know me, you wouldn't listen to me. Trump is president. cool He lives in a glass house. I do not like his arrogant personality. But I try not to allow this to not support our president. Think! We could have had Biden and Harris. God is Merciful... Thanks, Neighbor. (lets pray for our president)

It's called WE the people. The government and employees (are supposed to) work for we the people. They had an original intent that ballooned exponentially. Originally they could not even tax the people, the money came from the what individual states decided. The individual states were in control of their own state back them. Today only 51% of the population pays taxes. ( 1/2 ) This does not include the illegal aliens that pay no taxes. 49% of the population pays no taxes. So as a working stiff, I pay for myself and some one else who can't or won't work. Besides we have a mammoth bureaucracy of non elected payroll to meet. Our family supports the charities we decide. Our money our choice. Government should not be in that business, I believe. Once someone in an emergency need starts getting a government check, his/her desire to find work diminishes. Government perpetuates dead beats. These people learn how to beat the system. And we the people subsidize them. This is wrong. God says if you don't work you don't eat. No, I'm surely not talking about those who can not work, but those who milk the system. And there are millions. I notice the ones who are desiring to help those perpetually in need do so but with their hand in my pocket. I believe in giving till it hurts. We can not out give God. But helping those who COULD help themselves is contributing to their maintaining a wrong lifestyle, and is wrong. Our family went through those mean lean years, shopping at family thrift and flea markets, living in a temporary mobile home for thirty years. One income family, home schooling our kids up through high school/college, paying for all their books and curricula etc, and then every year paying school taxes for the government run schools at the same time. And some here complain about christian funded schools that actually teach kids an education. Our church christian school is self supportive, and receives no state/federal monies. Remember that word "WE." Our friends/church members were there when needed and not the government. As a combat vet I could receive mucho $ for a 90% claim if I would file, and additional COPD claim worth thousands per month available should I wish. I receive 0.00 dollars and will never file a claim. I have no wish to be someone in the system that receives a federal check from a bankrupt government that has a money making machine running overtime to pay the millions of free loaders. My God takes care of me and mine, supplies all our needs and so much more, and I am the richest man I know, to God be the Glory...

"." I agree angel, thanks..... Thought it was time for a 'Quick to listen, slow to speak' moment.... The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure. I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12:35-37 I apply this to myself, and consider. Lest I forget. Again, how I judge, I'll be judged. God's words.

.

Well, at least we can say you are consistent, I give you that...... If you make it to heaven and see Trump, I think you will still doubt him. If you meet king David there, would you give him a piece of your mind about his failings? Trump lives in a glass house. The Public knows when he spits on the side walk. Imagine, if you can. What would you feel if we all knew all about you, Neighbor, all those sins you personally regret, not made public. Think on that... For myself, I would feel utter shame. Brother.. And, Old age (for me) is no excuse. I personally do not put Trump on any pedestal. For sure. I agree with you that everybody will eventually let you down. But have you considered your remarks here about Trump. What if.......? Thanks ole timer......

He will never leave me, he will never forsake me. If God be for me, who can be against me? God's ways are not man's ways. I watch, I listen. I trust. His promises are true. I'm at peace. I smile at the unfolding events. Getting closer to home. (It's real) My cup overfloweth. Our family are heirs, seated in the heavenlies. I am at peace. We have abundance of seeds to sow. So many in darkness. Without hope. Burdens. Who will go? Time is short. Shorter than yesterday. This is the day the Lord hath made. Rejoice and be glad! Thanks tatwo..

The Supernatural Global-Capitalist Empire is in View So what's supernatural about all these capitalist people you speak of? I don't get the tie in.

Gaza terror: How condoms became a weapon against Israel Two years of explosive condoms launched from Gaza towards Israel has left the powerful IDF perplexed. Two years after Palestinians first started launching flaming kites and other improvised explosive devices (IEDs) like condoms and balloons into the South, the phenomenon has yet to abate. It started with kites with burning rags or embers attached to them. Three months later, booby-trapped balloons and condoms began to be carried east toward the South, carried by winds coming off the Mediterranean Sea. While the use of kites – a popular Middle Eastern pastime – seems to have disappeared, scores of balloons and condoms with explosive devices attached to them continue to land in schoolyards, agricultural fields and highways. At the beginning of the condom and balloon terrorism campaign, the aerial bombs drifted only a short distance from where they had been launched. Recently, however, Gazans have been increasing the range of their death toys by tying together multiple condoms and balloons for added buoyancy. Two weeks ago several balloons with a rocket-propelled grenade attached were discovered close to a gas station by security staff at the Midreshet Ben-Gurion educational center near Sde Boker, 70 km. from the blockaded coastal enclave. “We confirm that a suspicious object landed in an open area south of the Negev region. Bomb disposal experts are at the scene. No injuries or damage caused. Bomb disposal experts continue to patrol the South and respond to any suspicious objects or balloons that have fallen,” Mickey Rosenfeld, Israel Police spokesman, told The Jerusalem Post at the time.

Get that right and press on. Good advice here, but best advice/leading is from above. When it is for the glory of God, go...
