This morning, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same.
I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life — so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.
You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!
We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.
Somehow, it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
Universities that advocate equality, discriminate against Asian-Americans in favor of African-Americans.
Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.
People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
If a guy pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him. A woman nominated to become a Justice on the Supreme Court is asked by a Senator if she has ever committed a sexual crime.
People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees. Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.
$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
And, pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?!
Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it is racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.
We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.
Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast.
The choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely! “
That’s just difficult to read.
Because it’s the truth.
>Since then she accepted a job with a large firm in DC and moved there 3 years ago. She is a different person. She hates Trump, she has bought into BLM and white guilt.
They would kick her out if she didn’t agree with them.
>I love her unconditionally
So must you make it an economic decision.
Agree with the sentiments of the email, and no, Trump won’t fix it. I’m 1000% percent behind Trump, and he has to win for us to have a chance, but at bottom, this is a spiritual problem, and the spirit of evil has indeed invated our land. We must humble ourselves before God, seek His mercy, and ask for healing. And it’s looking more and more like we’ll need His son to return to lead the charge for true justice!
GREAT song and video!
In the case of your daughter I will tell you that being raised in an upright, Christian environment does guarantee a certain return to truth. I will hazzard a guess on when that will start...about 3 years after she is taking home a six plus paycheck and the truth of that enormous tax and who it goes to becomes apparent to her. At first she will worry she isn't doing enough to help the poor and downtrodden. Later she will look at the waste and abuse of her hard earned dollars and will begin to reason as God does. (If a man does not work then neither shall he eat. Proverbs. I think.)
Avoid the temptation to give your opinions on the stupid things she spouts. It slows the recovery of your daughter's recovery. The time will come when she will come to you and seek your opinions and advice. It won't be very long, I promise. It will happen. May God comfort, strengthen, and bless you. He is faithful and you are not alone.

“We have revised our will, and our nieces and nephews who are leftists — we cut ‘em loose.”
I took it on advisement from a lawyer to construct a trust rather than a will. Wills can be changed after you die, for a variety of reasons. Trusts cannot. I was kind of shocked upon hearing that information and followed up with a modicum of due diligence. I discovered that my lawyer correct. Wills often only apply if all witnesses are living, AND if the legal firm which drew up the will still exists. DIY wills don’t count for squat.
I suggest you find a lawyer of estate law and get a free consultation.
The lawyer asked who did we want to put in our trust and I told him “it’s not who I want to put into the trust it’s more a matter of who I didn’t want to receive any portion of my estate.” He nodded in affirmation.
If everyone there unto pertaining does not meet MY standards then my estate will transfer my county’s Volunteer Fire and Rescue.
Updates are necessary.
Numerous great one-line observations. Thanks.
Pray without ceasing that your children encounter Godly people and are mentored by them as they move through life. Young adults won’t—and can’t—listen to their parents as they try to stand on their own without the training wheels; but they allow others to influence them in spite of themselves.
When trouble comes, as it does into the lives of everyone eventually, most people who have been raised with sincere belief do return to Him.
Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. —Proverbs 22:6
Many great points therein. Thank you!
Simple answers are best. As Reagan said: we have solutions to all of our problems—No one want to hear the answers. I did some thinking where did the decline start? I believe it was with the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s when the Blacks were turned into a “Victim Class” by the Left (and Communists). They were the first victims of a racist and awful culture. The victimhood and its morally upright stand has been used by many, Latinos, Native People, Women and Gays. This club was used with skill to give the Left amazing power and riches. How much of the “War on Poverty” money—really went to poor people of any color? Very Little. Sadly, things are reaching a crescendo that will end in utter violence. Our problem—we thought money would solve all problems. We have been strangled by our own success. Maybe America needs to be humbled—reduced to a second rate power. Maybe Red China does need to rule the world for a while. Maybe their bloody hatchet will do more for peace than our kind words and gold. Maybe we do not deserve Trump and we need to suffer under four more years of Biden/Obama. Maybe we need a Civil War to purge the land of Marxists as we needed a Civil War to end slavery.

Isn’t it just like God to send the perfect messenger to bring a beloved child back into His loving hands? Oh the power of prayer! We are really living an eternal life already. It started the moment we said Jesus is Lord and Savior. Nothing separates us from the love of God. Nothing! Thank you for sharing such an uplifting reminder that God is in control.
Amen to your testimony, scottiemom!
