We were granted a brief respite in 2016 with Donald Trump, but seemingly no reprieve as things seem to too far along to reverse
Yate’s The Second Coming reads like yesterday’s newspaper
The Second Coming
W. B. Yeats, 1865 - 1939
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
We are stuck in a gyre of our own making, the center is dead in our bitterly divided society and we are becoming paralyzed by a fanatical extremism pushed by fanatical extremists
Who can dispute that innocence in all its forms is under direct, targeted assault with openly expressed intent to eradicate it.
Worst of all, the best people seem to have lost all conviction and stand Idly by while the worst, clearly filled with passionate intensity, do their worst.
We are squandering the brief respite we have been granted by providence against all odds.
Don’t know if this is prophecy fulfilled or self fulfilling prophecy but the slippery slope is rapidly becoming steeper and more slippery.
Those that stand idly by are presented an opportunity and a choice. We best choose well because the time when we can idly stand by is rapidly coming to an end.
We may not be interested in anarchy, but anarchy is very interested in us
and our embattled President is all that stands between.
They have to go through him to get to us
We’ll find the cracks and fill them with Republican cement.
Churchill bump....
It's fake news on a number of levels because this is incorrect.
Time is saved in a bottle. It doesn't run out; it's flipped over. Just like the word itself:
emit (v.) 1620s, from Latin emittere "send forth," from assimilated form of ex "out" (see ex-) + mittere "to send" (see mission). Related: Emitted; emitting.
Jim Croce was a Jewish prophet. Just check the man's name. James Joseph Croce. It's where Jacob (Jim, James) and Joseph crossed (Croce):
Let the dead bury their own dead. Stock up on American flags. Purim x 10,000
I suspected as much.
Tks... it didn’t sound like something he’d say...especially the part about blacks, etc. There are plenty of good black Christians...and all colors.
Heck, legal positivists will never be able to defend their liberty, and we’ve all been legal positivists for at least a century. As long as the letter of the law trumpeth all including natural right and wrong, end of discussion, then the rest is a done deal.
We have lost the war. But it is our duty to keep fighting.
We ARE outnumbered, and this time it is all about the deception of the masses - and there is no way to undo that......and the Marxist gov. educational system continues to pump out millions of new brainwashed and dumbed-down idiots every year who are an incessant flood - show me a remedy for that and I will agree with you......
thanks. I knew it had a whiff of falsehood about it.
Sad but true.
“Franklin Graham did not say this”
Thanks for the info. It didn’t sound like F.G. at ALL!
It took an act of God to start America.
and we have kicked Him out and He's given us what we wanted.
Well, whoever said it is right.
And I would wish that I had spoken so eloquently.
Many days I wish I was closer to follwing you. What is coming is going to be traumatic.
Graham nailed it. I never thought I’d ever hear anyone in his position say this. Not yet.
I’m not sure any of us will be alive to see this country become Big Venezuela - which is where we’re going. That’s the good news
And we win because we are on the right side.
Chins up.
See what Churchill had to say here (in the Gary Oldman rendition of the big speech). This will pick your spirits up, I promise:
That you would post this piece of garbage, falsely attributed to Franklin Graham, is disgusting. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, and hope that you simply didn’t research this before you posted it, but even then, anyone who knows anything about Franklin Graham, should know better than to believe this!
This article is a mixture of part of one or two things Franklin Graham did say, and a bunch of things he did NOT say. The following links explain: (one of them is Snopes, but even they agree that Graham is misquoted, and the majority of the body of this article was not the words of Graham, but an email circulating on the internet, written by someone else.) The article in Bear Witness Central, is what he really said.

If we had invited the Nazis and Japanese to the U.S. in 1880 to run our schools, the outcome of WW II would have been a lot different.
That is exactly what we have done the past 50 years.
So you’re giving up?
