I'm still hearing coverage of the President being at the D-Day ceremony.
But not a peep about his gum-chewing.
Which was an intentional act, and its purpose was to show disrespect to the the US military and America, and thus be an insult to patriotic Americans.
Republican politicians are, for the most part, silent in the matter.
This is a great example of why the Republican party is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
What's needed is Christian dominion over all political parties, not over one, and allowing other political parties to be anti-Christ, with no internal Christian influence. That's like an army conceding certain parts of the battlefield to the enemy, then wondering why they can not attain full victory.
America needs a Christian revival of the TRUE GOSPEL, and to Covenant with God, and become a truly Covenanted Christian nation.
Until then, we will live under this tyranny that persecutes Christians, makes merchandise of the people, and mocks God. Until America turns back to God, in Spirit and in Truth, God will continue to curse America with wicked leadership.
Based on my readings, I've found that WWII was a banker's war, a horrible unjust criminal war purposely engineered by financial elites. But the men who fought and died in that war, and did not know any of what instigations went on in secret - they had no idea of such things. Those men were simply serving their country in wartime, and, accordingly, those men deserve respect from America. Every American President, as the leader of the nation, is obviously honor-bound to show that same respect.
Many of us can't help but feel the utmost of Christian love, honor and appreciation for combat veterans; a special bond of friendship that always remains with us. But those are our personal feelings, and we understand that not everyone has the same feelings we do. I think most of us, however, would harbor the hope that every American would take the time to learn at least the basics of history, and to consider the service of our veterans and at least have the sensibility to show a minimum of human decency and respect towards them.
For those who have questions on faith and perseverance, I humbly suggest that you consider some reading on those Pilgrims who came to America, their story and their faith.
A little Scripture reading is always good for increasing the Christian's wisdom, strength and courage:
The Epistle of Paul to the Romans, Chapter 8
"1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Like you, I am sad to see a human train wreck on the road to destruction. But also like you I see it as all but inevitable. Please do keep my screenname bookmarked. It will be interesting to compare notes as this self-destructing presidency unfolds/hits the wall.
How about a comparison of the world leaders present for the D Day anniversary? Were any of them chewing gum? Did any of them have smug expressions on their faces? I can tell you NO, they did not!
I was outraged at his lack of respect.....for those present and those who died and are buried there, for the American people and the country he represents. The people who travel with him and are supposed to aid and guide him must have no more respect than he does.
How bad a reflection he is to his family and his raising. Embarrassing, classless, and disgusting!
What a lowlife scum we have as president!
Thanks for pointing that out.
The children, even the children, who escorted the leaders from their cars to the seats, observed a mature decorum.
I MUST add, that, given the horrifying scandals of child snuff rings that have been reported to involve elite leaders of European society and politicians, they should henceforth restrain their new world order fixation on OTHER PEOPLE’S children - and let the children be kept away from European elites for a few years, at least until those guilty in the scandal can be prosecuted.
It was CREEPY if you’ve read about the scandals. The scandals will make you just about vomit, literally. If you research this on the web - be prepared.
It’s a nightmare, apparently, though only reported on independent websites for the most part. I’ve read that there is just coverup after coverup and they can’t get any investigations to yield any success. Well, the last I read. The new media buries it.
Please God, right these wrongs.
There is no reason on earth for me to answer this post. That is because there is more legalistic hair-splitting in what you’ve written than I’ve ever witnessed before in my life. Evidently this is what you take the Gospel, the New Testament & the New Covenant to be: opportunities to split hairs in a legalistic manner that would awe even the Pharisees.
How did you get this way? What is the story of your conversion? Was there ever a time when the joy of the Lord, the power of the Gospel & the love of Christ, as exemplified in the New Commandment, dominated your life? How did you go from that to Olympic Class hair-splitting? These are not idle questions. I genuinely wonder.
Of course not. Obambi is disrepectfull punk.
