Very interesting text message I just got from my friend in Cleveland, OH.

She texted “the storm is here”.
Now, she’s not a Q follower, but a good lady nevertheless. And the storm she’s referring to is undoubtedly a strong on rolling in off Lake Erie. But the words were appropriate to where we are as a nation.

On July 29, 2022, Donald J. Trump ReTruthed a meme...

The meme quote may be paraphrased and derived from remarks when John F. Kennedy quoted Abraham Lincoln. (see links at bottom of this post)

JFK-quote

[JFK quote] In the election of 1860, Abraham Lincoln said, "There is a God and He hates injustice. I see a storm coming, but if He has a place and part for me, I am ready." There is a God today and He hates injustice, and we see the storm coming. But I think He has a place and a part for all of us, and I think we are ready. (Applause)

[Book excerpt ©Thurston Clarke] A tense 1961 summit with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in Vienna left him so shaken that on the plane returning to Washington he scribbled, “I know there is a God–and I see a storm coming; If He has a place for me, I believe I am ready,” a quotation he often used in campaign speeches and attributed to Abraham Lincoln. (Evelyn Lincoln found the paper on the floor of Air Force One and squirreled it away with the other notes and doodles that she was constantly rescuing from wastebaskets.)
