Trump and Jesus

By

If you haven't heard, in the latest conspiracy rumors, Trump is part of God's plan to usher in Christ and His thousand year reign. Or something like that.

First, let's be clear, seeing as how we don't know when He's coming back, one will be hard pressed to say Trump has anything to do with Jesus' return. Trump being a sign of His return is pressing way beyond any knowledge that we have from the scripture. 

The return of Christ is often discussed and often debated, throwing Trump into the mix just makes it more convoluted. People sell many books tying this to that and that to this with the end result being confusion and fat pockets. 

God uses what He wills for His will; there will be no end to that. Guessing the inner workings of His will is a futile attempt, not to mention can cause us to have the scripture say something that it doesn't. We have some pretty stern warnings against that. 

Please, if you support Trump, fine. Leave Jesus out of that and give Him the glory only He is worthy of. What is one way we give that said glory? Being ready to meet Jesus when He comes. It doesn't matter who is president of what; only that we're ready.

Harris and Trump

By
  Politics, oh the joy! Harris and Trump. Republicans and Democrats. Left and right. Freedom and...freedom. Well, that's what they say. To listen to our major parties rhetoric, each one is right and each one is wrong. The truth of the matter is that both are, uh, both? Both have presidential qualities and both have proposed policies that are, honestly, good and bad.  Trump is an overgrown child. An intelligent and successful overgrown child but a child nonetheless. One could argue wither his success is through bully tactics or business acumen, but he is successful. He is childish in his mannerisms and his speech, as far as public appearance can be perceived. It is interesting that his child-like public persona has been somewhat scaled down this election cycle. It is possible that his campaign finally understands that  middle-of-the-road voters have no desire to have the leader of the free world sound like a middle school bully in recess trying to take someone's lunch mone...

Conservatism

By
Edmund Burke, Portrait  c.  1769 Conservatism is a political and social philosophy that promotes the maintenance of traditional institutions and supports minimal and gradual change in society over time. Check my link page! Core Principles: Conservatism as a philosophy is centered around several core principles: Tradition : Conservatives value the customs, conventions, and continuity of societal organizations as a guide for the present and future. Tradition is seen as a cumulative wisdom of the past that should be honored and preserved. Order and Stability : A stable social order is deemed essential for the well-being of society. Conservatives often emphasize the need for a hierarchical structure and clear authority lines to maintain stability. Individual Responsibility : Personal responsibility and self-reliance are emphasized. Conservatives believe that individuals should take responsibility for their actions and welfare rather than relying on government assistance. Rule of Law : ...

Afghanistan

By
 Foreign policy and geopolitics can be a messy business. It is more messy the more one injects ones nose into someone else's business.  Nation building; more bluntly, empire expansion is costly, and often will fail unless the conquered culture truly accepts its conquered state. Afghanistan is a recent example of this. Trillions of American dollars have been spent on creating and nurturing a democracy. Conspiracy theorist ideas aside, what has happened there is an embarrassment. The majority of Americans, I believe, do feel as though we couldn't be there forever. Pulling out of the country should have been the goal all along, and one should strongly reflect on future occupations of foreign soils after this debacle. I have stated before that we should have never occupied Afghanistan at any point. Leaving is a good idea; how we leave matters. For some reason (maybe nuclear) we, as a country, love Pakistan and there are credible sources who say that most of the problems there are ...
