I'm ready to stop looking so much at this slow-motion train wreck . . .

I find you declaring that as funny is very telling.

Some have decided not to choose between that which they consider to be of belial. Some and really many  that I know or personally meet  have decided to vote yet again, and do so this time for Kennedy Jr. Tired of choosing between evils? Consider Kennedy Jr. Ask of God, do I vote at all  do I vote for Trump, Harris Kennedy or someone else? Be pretty interesting if all voters did that eh?

The way in which you conduct yourself in these matters (political) is, in my estimation, the standard by which brothers and sisters who do the same ought to emulate. You state your opinion and position without castigating nor demonizing others. Well done, my friend. 

Those things are what concern me as they impact our witness in this world of men. If we show ourselves to be no different from worldly partisans, what does that say? What does that demonstrate? A worthless religion and worse. 

You raise an excellent point, one which I have inquired of the Lord many times over the years: should I involve myself in politics? The Lord answers and says that is my choice; He has given no commandment. It is not required by law in the U.S. (unlike Australia, where it is) so seeing as how it is my choice to steer clear or engage, I elect to stay out of it. I couldn't possibly care less about pressure exerted by others to change my mind.

That pressure is what the world is known for.

We had a good economy under Trump. 

No don't think so.  In fact I personally know better. My pocket book tells me that. It was a very harsh time. While I do not like Biden at all, after Trump was gone  California commercial real estate values rebounded and then just rocketed upward nearly doubling!  

If I am to go by the stock markets  the greatest period of growth in terms of real dollars in my pocket has been the past four years. Awesome!

Fact pocketbook wise I should vote for Harris, but I just can't.  Financially it is safer for me, but no I can't do that.

Anyway your vote for Trump is a total waste at California as there is  no sense in voting for someone that can't win at your State, right?

Anyway we may never get to November the way things are going, might all be moot. My soul might even be required of me this day. So my hope is in Jesus regardless of political circumstances, regardless of the tyranny of democracy or of rulers.

Hey, at last, we find common agreement on something.  I think he is the greatest evil before us today. 

You've got to be kidding.  

To me the Woke culture is the greatest evil today....and most Democrats are embracing and propagating it.

Do you know that the Woke culture has placed children's books and teen books about transgenders and gays into school libraries?

Some of these books are pornographic....a politician read a portion of one book to illustrate that point, and it was downright embarrassing.   If I tried to post that video, it couldn't be approved at Worthy.

Been a participant in the fight against it for over a quarter century. Gosh, longer than that. How time flies. We battled against it  at churches and schools under both Democrat and Republican administrations.

We( Likely) agree on most of the basics, I just find Trump to be more dangerous than even the woke culture. I am sure he is!

Plus importantly I have researched and found I like what RFK Jr. brings to  the table as a fighter for the downtrodden and the oppressed for over 45 years now.

It sounds like you have property and stocks so you think Biden's economy is better.   Most people don't have that....they live paycheck to paycheck.

Under Trump the economy was far better for the average person.   Under Biden every couple of weeks the grocery prices would climb and that went on for a really long time!   Gas prices climbed as well.

My neighbors/friends all say the inflation skyrocketed under Biden!

Hi, may I suggest you change your crayons or pastels colors  as you paint  a picture of me? Thanks.

Hey I worked all my life up to almost age 75 (Started at age 5),  I worked more hours than is considered full time for church and two Christian schools one of which family started. Had to give it up when my body crashed. Praise God he had the perfect replacements for me at the ready. It was awesome to see  new younger generation with such enthusiasm and talent take hold of the reigns. God is absolutely awesome.

I also have been caught up in real estate, not necessarily of my own choosing, where I had to put in countless hours of unpaid effort. Hour upon hour, week after week and then year after year.

I make no apology whatsoever for my present good fortune of having a sufficient modest income, and  savings enough for the moment after living a rather frugal lifestyle raising up from rather extreme poverty and hunger. I praise God for it all.

His mercy is awesome his grace divine his provision has always been perfect for my need at any given time, even the very lean and harsh times, for in them I learned much  of Him especially.

And yes I do favor Kennedy over Trump and Harris. I do hope it is a sign for future generations that it is possible to break free of the duopoly of evil.

May God continue to bless each of us.

I was only saying that for the average person the economy was much better under Trump...in response to your words that it is better under Biden.
