Better dead then mentally ill reading MSM.

Psalm 37

This IS the story the fake bombs were designed to silence. Working like a charm.

Not sure? Interesting thought. I was thinking the foreign invaders was to force a confrontation with Trump at the border, hoping for violence. And, the bombs were being used to portray Trumpsters as NAZIs.

Ben Shapiro has always been a shill for the political establishment. I never understood why he has so many admirers on this site.

I’m with you. I’ve never understood that either.

How can Venezuela finance anything at this point?

---

My exact question also! Money coming in from Leftist Soros, Obama, Clintons, etc.

False flag.
Soros now Hillary.
The ‘JOBS NOT MOBS’ was sticking to Dems. Now, oops! Here come anonymous bombs aimed at Dems.
FALSE FLAG.

Don’t forget that Nancy Pelosi was harassed at Miami restaurant last week by Trump supporters as the story goes.

If you don’t study your Bible you won’t know what to believe.

Amen! Brother.

Wish they would of included a question as to how many of respondents actually read the Bible everyday and pray. People including myself (as an early Christian) went to church a couple of times a week, but didn’t have a daily intake of God’s Word. I can see how personal opinions and not actual Scripture proof could work there way into people answers to these questions. IMHO daily Scripture reading and prayer is essential for every Christian.

“They will not stop. They will not slink away. They are not defeated. Every elected official who rose to this great occasion and every voter inspired by it must prepare to draw from this well repeatedly. Brett Kavanaugh could well sit on the Supreme Court for thirty years. If we rest on the current laurels, the left can regain the upper hand in a matter of months.”

It’s a religion with The Left. This is a Baby Boomer, Generation X, Generation Z, and Millennials fight, much like it was our parents from the Depression Era (Greatest Generation) fight for WWII and The Cold War Era.

Got to stay vigilant and hit them right back. We’ve conceded way too much already (i.e. our grammar, High Schools, colleges and universities and we got to get those back).

Picture of failure - Swedish Feminist Government

Anyone except McCain & Flake are better then Corker. I do like Marsha, I just wish her ads were more aggressive. I’m concerned that Bredesen is well like, and most folks remember he was a pretty good Governor and RINOs like him. I pray she can bring home the victory for the Republicans.

I sent Marsha Blackburn campaign an email back in late August or early September telling them their ads are weak. Trying to attack Bredesen on local issues like expensive furnishings for Governors Mansion was a no go. She needed run ads that would show Bredesen as Schumer’s stooge. I told her when people see Bredesen they should see Schumer, Feinstein, Blumenthal, Sanders, Warren, etc., in other words, Bredesen would do The Leftist bidding. In fact, one of the Tenn. rags ran a story a short time later saying that is what Bredesen feared. She has changed some, but I still don’t think she is aggressive enough. This is about Trump not about her. She better start getting more aggressive as Bredesen is running a good campaign and has good ads.

Thanks so much for posting this!

Here’s an article from desiringgod.org about the main ingredient in powerful and effective prayer that I thought was good.

Article by Jonathan Parnell

Pastor, Minneapolis, Minnesota
It’s tragic how easily we can miss the main ingredient in effective prayer.
In our sin, we’ve been rewired to focus on us — on the steps we should take for our prayers to be heard. We have this bent toward believing that every result is born from method. If something works for somebody, we want to know what that somebody is doing.
We’ve developed the assumption that if we can just strip it all down to a reproducible process to put into action, then the results will multiply. While this applies to certain things, it doesn’t apply to prayer — or at least that’s not the vision the apostle James gives us. The main ingredient in effective prayer is emphatically not us.
Often Misunderstood

Many of us find James 5:16 to be a familiar verse: “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working” — which is also translated, as an ESV footnote spells out, “The effective prayer of a righteous person has great power.”
“We pray as ordinary people who have an extraordinary God.”

This is one of those coffee-mug verses. It’s commonly understood like this: Be righteous, and your prayers will work. It’s what I used to think. But that’s the skim-milk meaning. It’s what happens when we fly by the text without questions. Our broken bent is to make the burden of this passage something to do with us. We simply settle to think that, if we want our prayers to be effective, then we need to be righteous.
But this reading doesn’t hold up.
Reading in Context

First, look at the context surrounding James 5:16. James’s whole point is that prayer is effective. He asks in James 5:13, “Is anyone among you suffering?” Then he replies, “Let him pray.” What about cheerfulness? Or sickness? Or sin? In each case, James encourages his readers to pray. Why? Because prayer is effective, which means, God hears his people and acts on their behalf.
Then, in the beginning of verse 16, because prayer is effective (James 5:13–15), he says, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed” (James 5:16). To make it even clearer, he follows this with, “The effective prayer of a righteous person has great power.” That line is the second portion in a double dose of support for our praying. James’s point is to repeat his theme to pray because prayer is effective. His concern is not how prayer is made effective, but that prayer is effective. And then verse 17 comes to ground that point.
What About Elijah?

James 5:17 then brings in Elijah. “Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently.”
What does Elijah have to do with our praying? Does it mean that Elijah was righteous and his prayers worked, so we should be like Elijah for our prayers to work too? Is that what he is saying?
No way.
“Prayer is effective not because of great men who pray, but because of a great God who graciously hears his people.”

Look at the book. James says that Elijah was a man with a nature like ours. He was just a man. He was like us. He had a nature like ours. And being just a man, being like us, having a nature like ours, he prayed fervently and God heard. The point is not that we should be righteous at the extraordinary level of an Elijah, but that he was normal like you and me. James doesn’t say for us to be like Elijah for our prayers to be answered, but that Elijah was like us and his prayers were answered — therefore, pray.
Don’t Miss What’s Main

This means that the focus of effective prayer is not us, but God. Prayer has less to do with the specifics of how we say what we say, and more to do with the one to whom we are saying it.
We pray as ordinary people who have an extraordinary God. We’re just normal, you and I. We’re just normal like Elijah. Prayer is effective, not because of great men who pray, but because of a great God who in Christ graciously hears his people.
He’s the main ingredient. So, pray.

From the photos a pathetic turn out.

Mississippi State is a great school! My daughter went there. Very conservative, great people. Not surprised by pathetic turnout. Starkville (affectionately known as Starkvegas) small college town.

College educated white guy who voted for Trump here.

---

Also College educated, but I got a degree in something that I could actually get a job in, accounting as oppose to something like “White Privilege in Modern Society” or some other BS major.

Grassley still has a few squishy Republicans to convince.

---

Also, I look for another etension past the Sunday morning political talk shows. I see one more extension.

Mitch and Lindsay have greatly improved their performance in recent months.

I’ve been thinking same thing and have seen many people mention this on Twitter and FreeRepublic. Just wonder if bully McCain no longer in the picture has something to do with that. I think too many of the RINOs were trying to please McCain.

Near last in his class at Naval Academy.
Incompetent flier for the Navy.
On the take as one of the Keating 5.
Pushed McCain/Feingold to gut the 1st Amendment because he didn’t like the criticism he got for his Keating participation. Law was struck down by the Supreme Court as unConstitutional. (”Preserve, Protect, and Defend”. Right, John?)
Volcanic temper.
Treacherous thorn in the side of the GOP during his whole Senate career.
Warmonger.
Terrorist sympathiser.
Vindictive score-settler right up until his passing.

Good list! I might add one.

Involved with foreign governments and U.S. spy agencies in an attempt to nullify the legal election of Donald Trump as President by the The People, according to the U.S. Constitution.

1. I think Trump and Session purposely put Rosenstein in the position he’s in because he was deep into everything Obama, Hillary, et al were involved in over the eight years Obama was President. I think they are letting Rosenstein sink or swim and get yourself out of this if you can.

So, in essence, you’re saying that Rosenstein is a conspirator in a criminal enterprise and that Trump and Sessions are giving Rosenstein a chance to extricate himself from having to face charges for his crimes.
Is this what you’re saying?

Kind of. More like hanging him out there twirling in wind. I think Trump and Sessions know Rosenstein is up to his eyeballs in carrying out and covering up for Obama and Hillary et al and their letting him dig a deeper hole for himself. I hope, if this is true, Rosenstein is prosecuted and spends time in jail.

I've been disturbed/troubled by Jeff Sessions handling of so called Russian Collusion investigation by Mueller et al and the merciless attacks on President Trump by politicians, MSM, Hollywood types, etc.

I originally supported Ted Cruz back in Feb. 2016, but learned that Jeff Sessions was a supporter of Donald Trump and so I gave Trump a look and I liked what I heard and saw, Cruz make a lot of mistakes and came to the conclusion that Cruz was not electable because people did not like him. So in March 2016 I decided to support President Trump and haven't regretted it.

Someone on Twitter posted a 3 minute slice of this video at the 26 minute mark. I listened to it. I've never listened to it before so I decided to listen to Sessions full 30 minute video. I liked what I have heard and now have a better understanding (in my mind) of how Trump and Sessions are handling the Mueller investigations, Hillary, Obama and company criminality, etc.

In the video Sessions theme is as follows:

He is committed to restore the rule of law and the moral order of our judicial system. He wants the judicial system to stop being used to advance political agendas and thus weaponized. And, he wants to re-establish respect for the DOJ.

I say the above to give my opinion of Sessions reclusion from Russian Collusion investigation and just over all Rosenstein acting more like the Attorney General than Sessions at times.

1. I think Trump and Session purposely put Rosenstein in the position he's in because he was deep into everything Obama, Hillary, et al were involved in over the eight years Obama was President. I think they are letting Rosenstein sink or swim and get yourself out of this if you can. This to me takes great guts by our President. I think Trump is clean, not a perfect man, but clean as far as anything that Rosenstein/Mueller can bring to bear criminally speaking. Trump knows it and Sessions knows it.

2. This is my hope, I don't have any proof. Sessions is working in the background getting good evidence to stand up in court to prosecute wrong doers of Obama and Hillary years. If he isn't then this speech he made at The Federalist Society in 2017 is not worth anything.

I know how some feel on this Forum about Sessions. Before you slam me, please listen to the full 30 minute speech and then tell me what you think.
