  1. I pray for those in office; thus, I have almost daily (if not daily) prayed for Harris and Walz. I sure pray for mercy for them to have a fear of God, because that is the beginning of wisdom. I also pray that the evil that has been enacted with their leadership and involvement will be reversed. Some of that will never be able to be completely reversed. As far as Walz goes, we in MN live with the effects of his governance. Therefore, I pray for mercy for all those harmed, too.

    There are no perfect candidates, nor will we have utopia on earth. Those trying to bring it will bring hell on earth and destruction. We are called as believers to bring God’s good to earth. His will be done. There can certainly be questions as to how that is done as individuals or in government. Therefore, we are wise to pray for wisdom for each other and the humility we all need as imperfect beings ourselves.

  2. The media honchos hiding things to protect a democrat?

    Oh say it isn’t so….🙄

    “Here is Julie Nelson of Kare11 talking about the deleted audio below.

    She did a brave thing by speaking out about Tim Walz’s abject failure to restore the peace during the Minneapolis Riots.

    Her network tried to hide this moment in order to provide cover for Democrats.”

  3. Tim Walz has some lovely friends.

    “Trans MN State Rep. Leigh Finke says he wants to make Minnesota a trans refuge for kids and train more children’s doctors on s*x change surgery and puberty blockers.

    He sponsored the “trans refuge” bill which Tim Walz signed which makes MN a sanctuary state for “trans kids” to receive s*x change surgery and irreversible puberty blockers and hormore therapy.”

    ——-

    And so you know, there is a federal law which prohibits states from interfering in the custody of children, which this clearly violates.

  4. And like with the ActBlue scandal, the FEC will ignore it.

    “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are allegedly violating campaign finance laws by attempting to transfer $91.5 million in Biden campaign funds to the Harris campaign, which would constitute the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended, according to David Warrington.”

  5. Harris is trying to hide the coming pain they caused until after the elections.

    “So Biden and Kamala raided Medicare (in the Inflation Reduction Act) to fund EV tax credits.

    That caused premiums for seniors’ prescription costs to spike

    NOW the Biden/Harris admin is covertly trying to pay off insurers to NOT increase premiums until after the election.”

  6. Cory Bush lost her bid. Now she is more rabid than ever. This disgusting person once had a high position with the “squad”….she coming after us….

    Bush warned the group to “be afraid.” She lost to a pro-Israel Democratic rival backed by AIPAC. Bush claimed the group’s influence has “radicalized” her.

    “All they did is radicalize me,” she said. “So they need to be afraid.” Bush vowed to tear AIPAC’s kingdom down. “I’m coming after you too,” she warned corporations.

  7. Trump was right to lambast the useless Kemp.

    Any comment Never Trumpers?

    https://x.com/DefiyantlyFree/status/1821302008881516579?t=dNt8QOXsUcKSsMIwo7PIvg&s=19

    “Does Governor Brian Kemp have any comment about the fact that 17,852 missing ballot images, 3,930 duplicates, and missing documentation for 10 mystery tabulators all referred to the GA AG for further investigation today by the Georgia Board of Electors?

    Trump “lost” the state or GA by 11,000 votes.”

  8. Yes, Georgia has a problem with tabulation. I believe Trump could have been more diplomatic in what he said about Kemp. But that would not be Trump. We have what we have. Less. Than. Utopia.

    May God bless the way forward from this terrific mess. May God’s truth march on and the evil acts of deception be revealed. If not accountability here on earth, then those laughing their way to eventual death will have eternity to pay.

    Keep focused on God. Wait. Watch. See what He alone can do. He is doing battles in the unseen heavenly realm working out His good plans. Praise Him while He works unobserved by those who think they have been unobserved.

  9. So his stance concerning the murder of children, and mutilation of children speaks volumes of his “character”. I do not take the pacifist position on these matters nor would our Lord. If indeed this man fell to his knees in repentance certainly he would be shown mercy for his evil heart and deeds…

    As was shared earlier Trump can say things that cause unease. But not anywhere close to what has been spoken by Harris nor especially Walz. It is chilling to me that either of these could be viewed as a good move for our nation….

  11. She’s too busy causing raising prices with their policies at the moment, but we swear, she’ll bring them down if you elect her.

    Are people really this stupid?

    “Kamala at the rally. “Prices are too high. When I’m president I’m going to bring down prices!” The crowd cheers wildly.

    I’m sorry but what are these people smoking? She’s the vice president now. Why isn’t she already bringing down prices?”

  12. NJ – In case you missed it, because I commented on the late side last night, here is my reply to you from last night’s discussion:

    ~ “NJ – What I meant by “not assuming the worst of those we disagree with” is that often there are posts or stories in various sources that give a false impression of what a politician may have said or done, or exaggerates it, or outright lies about it. I have seen those things shared so many times by folks on both the left and right.

    My main point is to not automatically agree with a bad report which aligns with our preconceptions.

    As for what you said about those being “given a pass time after time”, I am not sure who you are referring to. (IOW, who are the ones giving those passes?)

    If you are referring to me as one of those, I will just say that I don’t feel a need to criticize those politicians on this blog where there are post after post after post doing that. And as I have said before, I have defended Trump against posts on Facebook that I knew to be untrue, or exaggerated something he said or did.” ~

  13. Kizzie I wasn’t targeting anyone in particular giving passes to the left. It does seem many posts here and there I tend to notice a call to “give them a break” all the while lambasting Trump.

    I do take a hard glance at the evil being perpetrated upon the citizens of this country. No man is perfect and all men will fail. When I see clearly the evil from some in position to enact wicked policy I get riled! And when some acquaintances stand up for that evil I am alarmed. And yes, I assume the worst from evil doers.

  14. Indeed Kizzie. There have been times in the past that I pulled the trigger too quickly. Experience has taught me to research different sources. The one about the ladder purchase by Walz is a prime example. .

  15. Sometimes it seems the division between the sheep and the goats becomes more clearly defined. God is the ultimate divider, and He is makng it easy to see, for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. These are days of delusion when people believe what they want to believe and disregard the truth. These days are surely foretold of in the Bible.

  16. I see differences among believers in civic elections not altogether surprising, especially in these times.

    Not sure this was what Janice was speaking of in @1:25. Maybe not.

    Secular elections are what they are; imperfect exercises (some more than others, clearly) in deciding who will lead the nation (which is already embroiled and entrenched in deep cultural division that’s been around a long time and won’t go away soon) for the next few years.

    I’m sorry there has been so much turmoil over this particular election, we’ve pretty much mirrored the larger secular culture in that.

    I’m still praying that the temperature will drop a bit after November.

  17. Dj, speaking of the difference between true believers and those who are not believers, although some claim to be Christians (the ones who distort the truth in God’s word to fit their desires). I was in no way referring to anyone on here. I am speaking of those who call good evil and evil good. Those who lead people astray from God’s truth. This is not about the election, but the election is making the division quickly more pronounced. It is making me reevaluate friendships. We can be friendly with unbelievers and hope to show them God’s Way, but I am less inclined to be close friends and spend time with people who express no interest in God. They may be good people but their hearts are cold toward God.

  18. Janice – Either last night or earlier today you mentioned that some can’t see that God could work on Trump. (FTR, I pray that for God to do a great work in him.) That goes along with what DJ and I have said about trusting God to work (and His will to be done) no matter who is elected.

  19. Kizzie, this must be what you referred to, posted on yesterday’s thread early this morning:

    “It’s so much bigger than Trump. But he is a stumbling block to many, there is no vision beyond him, and no trust in God to make the best of him. It is always assumed the worst of him by some.”

    I meant that God might make use of him with all his flaws, as he is, for God’s purposes. But of course we all hope that people continue to grow to spiritual maturity and look more like Jesus each and every day.
