Trump 

Trump wins the Iowa caucus by nearly 30% points. DeSantis and Haley finished at 21% and 19%, respectively. Ramaswamy has dropped out and endorsed Trump. Next up is New Hampshire on January 23rd. 

Did any one find this to be a surprise? When my wife told me that Trump had won by a landslide, I responded' " I'm sure by 30% or more." Turns out, I was right. It did surprise me though that Haley came in second, but being only split by 2% points shows that, in my mind, we may see some very interesting things come from republican challengers in the next week. Ramaswamy showed great motivation and is a very intelligent person, obviously. His indorsement of Trump comes as no surprise as he pushed many Trump ideas and was a strong proponent of Trump during his own campaign until now. Ramaswamy is a reflection, in my mind, of a large segment of Americans who are fed up with feeling bad for something they had nothing to do with and the attempts at polarization of our society. At the root of all this, Trump stands up to the media and all those that wish to demonize a certain populace through main stream media and their sponsors. It is foolish to think that all Trump supporters are extremists, as Bidens recent ad claims. In my view, it was a poor choice for whoever runs Bidens ads. Most Trump voters are center-right, not extreme right.

    Haley's near second place finish still looks as though it will help in later primaries. The younger and generally more educated seem to support her more than DeSantis. Still, all she can do is vie for a Vice Presidency, unless something drastic happens. Since it appears that, at least in Pennsylvania, that a candidate can die days before an election, and still be elected, I'm not sure that even any drastic thing can change Trump getting the Republican nomination.

Houthi

    U.S. Central Command has confirmed that a shipping vessel owned by an American company has been attacked in the Gulf of Aden. This is after the US-led strikes began against Houthi infrastructure in Yemen. Notice the word, after. This is the first US owned vessel to be attacked. No one was injured thankfully. Imagine that. We lob bombs at a group (who is evil, I'd say) without US life-defense provocation, and all of sudden, American assets are attacked when they were not previously. Hopefully, this should stop everyone and think for a bit. We have got to stop defending/protecting everyone - it destroys our own. Let those countries defend themselves. Look up Lebanon, too. Ask yourself, "really?".

Progressivism

By
Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, Library of Congress Yes, Ol' Teddy and Woodrow were progressives. Progressivism is a political and social ideology that advocates for reform and improvement of society through governmental action, most accurately, government force . Progressives seek to address the underlying causes of social issues and support modernization, scientific and technological improvements, and changes in the political system to better represent the people’s interests. Check my link page! Core Principles: Social Progress : The belief in the ability and duty to improve society and the lives of its citizens, often through coercive reform. Equality : Progressives aim to reduce economic, racial, and gender disparities through targeted reforms. Equality in outcome rather than equality in possibility. Democracy : Enthusiastic support for making the political process more transparent and increasing public participation in government. This is often communicated as ...

Trump Wins New Hampshire.      Donald Trump easily takes New Hampshire from Nikki Haley, although the race was much closer than Iowa. While this gives Trump great advantage, South Carolina may be a closer race than one thinks. Trump has recently been ordered to pay $83 million to E. Jean Carroll in a defamation suit. Wither we believe the charges and such against Trump are true or false, the hits keep coming. At what point will the "straw that breaks the camels back" fall? At what point do we realize that Trump cannot win the general election? Will it be after a November loss? Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is polling at  20% in some political areas. We need to understand that Kennedy is a Democrat who believes that the DNC, and the "woke" citizens, have lost their minds. Even running as an Independent, Kennedy could win. He will pull votes from Trump and many from Biden. He needs to be taken seriously and the GOP needs to take a long hard look, before the South Carolina pr...

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...
