No One Knows What Is Going On

No One Knows What Is Going On The Scriptures say that there is nothing new under the sun. The conclusion to be drawn here is that man has short memory or selected memory. Put your ears to the wind, listen to the crowd of protestors, and observe the times: The cry is the same as in ancient times. Crucify the righteous one –proven track records of decency (Lock her up) and let us have Barabbas a murder (known offender of what is decent). Deplorable people are found in every culture, century throughout the history of man. The deplorable, religious sects (of Biblical Days) deemed themselves more righteous than God (self-righteous/will worshippers) wanted to destroy Christ. They were mud slingers who tried to bring in false witnesses to discredit Christ. These individuals feed on fear and hatred. They accepted and encouraged vile behavior, knowing that the Scriptures condemn those who do wrong and who are supporters of those that do wrong; they are one- in- the same. They are an abomination to God because they refuse to do right even when they have the opportunity to change; they will not. Trump supporters will vote for him no matter what he says or does because he is divisive and encourages a hate message; the evil they love. To be fair to Trump, he doesn’t know what is going on. He is running neck & neck in the polls with politicians who are overqualified and well out of his league, and he is seemingly defeating them at their own game/ on their turf. When America lies and says “IN GOD WE TRUST” while making laws that are against Scripture and “cause the people [nation] to sin…” God takes His protection away and allows things to happen that bring America to its knees. To sin against God this way, opens up the portal and allows this evil spirit to enter into the hearts of the people. This sprit brings the chaos America is witnessing at this present time. “Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people” Proverbs 14:34. Trump is only a vessel that God uses as an eye-opener to encourage America to repent before He allowed Trump to win and bring America to its knees. If Trump gets his fingers on the nuclear codes/ the White House, it will be an “IT IS FINISHED” moment for the USA. Trump communicates on a seven-grade level. He is running against an overqualified presidential candidate. The polls show him winning in many states. Trump’s famous line: “No one knows what is going on.” What is going on is that God wants America who purports “IN GOD WE TRUST” to repent and do not make laws that cause a nation to sin. Everyone has the right to live the way he or she chooses and is answerable to God individually for his/her life choices, but a nation or country should not make legal any act/behavior that is against the God in whom they purport to TRUST. Let’s repent and close that portal before things get worse for the USA. THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT TRUMP’S RESILIENCE Trump is even dumbfounded that he is able to maintain high numbers in the polls, after all of his transgressions against many groups of people of this nation. His supporters (including some of the religious conservative/sects who believes themselves to be more righteous than Christ/will worshippers) are not interested in Trump’s transgressions; they want Barabbas (murderer/vile individual) over Christ (good and no vile or guile found in His mouth individual). It is nothing new or strange that God uses small things/less qualified things to bring down/destroy large and stronger/mightier things. God allowed Satan to touch Job’s body with sores and boils, but stayed his hands from ultimately destroying Job. God allowed Trump to take over an established party (touch it with vileness). We can see who we are. Now repent before God allows Satan to win and bring America to its knees. America needs to change its course, repent and pray that God does not used Trump to destroy America. Accept the Lord keeps the city, the watchmen watches in vain. We have no military might against a large nation or a small nation. It is God who allows things to be. Trump is just a vessel to bring America to its knees. He doesn’t even know what is going on: He is vile and vulgar and still viable in numbers of votes in the polls. What is going on? There is nothing new under the son…Give us Barabbas and crucify Christ. Matthew 27. Clinton is a female and for Trump to think she does not have the stamina because she is female, he should check out Israel’s first female Judge, Deborah, in the Book of Judges and see her roar. See Book of Judges Chps. 4 and 5.

Did Donald Trump purchase any losses from near bankrupt firms in order to pad his own dept?

Am a retired retailer myself. Here in Canada it is not unusual to purchase bankrupt companies with large amounts of debt for a price and then file them with Revenue Canada, (your I.R.S). In order to minimize earnings. Something does not pass the smell test here.

“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” Adolf Hitler

Donald Trump has praised Benito Mussolini the Italian fascist allied with Adolf Hitler. Now in this election he has used Hitler's means of taking over Germany, in order to try to do a hostile takeover of the United States of America. “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” Adolf Hitler Remember this: "The Truth has many enemies, and Donald Trump is one of them." Rev. J. Myron Smith Donald Trump has taken the strong man Hitler's advice. “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.”

TRUMP SPEAKS INFRONT OF A WHITE AUDIENCE AND PAINTS A DISMAL VIEW OF THE WORLD OF BLACKS

I listen to the motives for this on CNN and other networks as to why Trump did this and I agree but I also think we are missing a very important reason. Trump also knows that speaking this way will cause many blacks to not show up at the polls. Before his team reigned him in to stick to the teleprompter he really showed the world who the real Donald Trump was. How can we trust a person to lead without chaos a nation who's leader constantly brings a doom and gloom message and embellishes things in his world to look good when the ship is actually sinking. This is a tactic Trump has a proven track record of using and now he's counting on the same American people he loves so much to be stupid enough to fall for it again.

Does anyone wonder why Foley was sitting IN THAT SEAT at Trump event?

After hearing Foley & Trump were old friends that negated my reasoning that Foley wanted to embarrass Trump. Only reason left is that Trump wanted him there. Trump is intentionally doing these things because he wants to lose (& ruin the GOP)! Can you imagine him giving up 4 years of control over his life? Or his Trump Tower home for the White House? Also after he looses he can make another fortune speaking on how the gov is rigged. I don't think Trump wants to be Pres, look at all the work he would have to do.

Putin, Trump and the "N" Word

I don't understand how this is escaping the political pundits. On CNN Trump stated he heard Putin refer to Pres. Obama by the "N Word." Does Anyone THINK Putin would casually throw this derogatory term around lightly UNLESS there was the "relationship" Trump so vehemently denies?

Why are Blacks not asking America to apologize for slavery.

Isn't apology the first step in the healing process?

The Second Amendment

In the days when the second amendment was formed it took 15 - 20 seconds to reload. I do not think they anticipated technology to create an automatic or even a semi-automatic weapon. Something has got to give here.
