I am all things to all men.

The purpose of this article is not to mock, ridicule, or insult. Nor am I here to gloat or say, “I told you so.” Instead, I want to make a simple, two-fold appeal: First, can we be realistic and recognize that Trump will not be restored to the White House by some kind of military act or miraculous event (other than simply running again in 2024)? Second, can we be mature enough to acknowledge our errors, learn from our mistakes, and move on? In short, can we make this a teachable moment?
When I announced on the radio on January 6th that Trump would not be returning to the White House (meaning, without being reelected in the future), the response from many was outrage. I was a traitor. I had given up the cause. I was like one of the ten Israelite spies who brought back an evil report (in contrast with Joshua and Caleb, who believed in God's report). I was a Never Trumper. I was bought out by the Deep State. I was a Communist infiltrator.
You get the drift.
The truth be told, as a Trump voter in 2016 and 2020, I was privately hoping that the prophecies of his restoration to the White House were true and that the courts would find massive voter fraud, overturning the elections.
But at a prayer retreat in Texas in early December, it became totally clear to me that this would not happen. I simply knew that I knew that this was the case, and I knew Joe Biden would be inaugurated on January 20th.
After that, I was simply waiting for the right moment on my radio show to share this publicly, wanting to extend a safety net to the many whose faith would be shattered when Biden, rather than Trump, was installed as president.
Unfortunately, even after January 20th, many remained in denial.
Some set new dates (after guaranteeing that Biden would never serve as our president). "You watch and see what will happen in March. Make that April. Actually, August. I mean September."
Others concocted convoluted, hyper-spiritual theories, allegedly received by divine revelation. "Actually, Trump is our president, enthroned by God in heaven. Biden has no real presidential authority."
Still, others said, "The prophets were right and Trump did win the election. That's why we need to continue to fight for him to be reinstated. We can never accept the steal, and Biden will never be our president."
The fact is that, whether there was fraud or not, Joe Biden is our president, as recognized by our Congress and courts.
As for Trump, he is not our president, and he is not going to be miraculously restored to the White House any time soon. (Again, this is apart from him potentially running in 2024.)
Can we finally admit that this is the case and move on? Or will we be setting dates for the military to remove Biden in 2022 (or 2023), in keeping with yet another conspiratorial fantasy? I certainly hope we will not.
All of us can mistakes. All of us can be wrong about our prognostications. All of us can misjudge a situation. And all of us can have faulty "sources" that, in the end, mislead us rather than inform us. And sometimes, to be brutally honest, we just get conned.
The problem is when we can't admit that and learn from our mistakes. The problem is when, as leaders in particular, we cannot acknowledge that our errors have led others into error. The problem is when we blameshift or even misdirect, being more concerned with rallying our base rather than admitting our guilt.
In this regard, a typical tactic would be to attack the messenger, in this case, accusing me of being weak. Or a RINO (I'm actually a registered Independent who votes Republican, based on conservative principles rather than party affiliation). Or approving of abortion (as if recognizing Biden as president makes me guilty of shedding innocent blood). Or lacking in faith. Or being unspiritual. Or whatever.
But that's the least of my concerns. In fact, it is not my concern at all, since I'm not writing this to gain popularity or support.
To the contrary, as the risk of alienating some readers, my only concern is that those who were deceived or misled or misinformed would come to grips with reality, learn from their mistakes, and come out as better men and women for it. As for those leaders who misled or misinformed others, now would be a good time to say, "It looks like I was wrong, and I apologize for speaking falsely and getting your hopes up for nothing. I intend to learn from this and not repeat such errors."
And how will the Lord respond? As the Word says, He opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
So, where the shoe fits, get low and receive grace. God also lifts up the humble.
There is a whole crowd of very vocal conspiracy theorists here on FR - either because they are actually crazy/ignorant, or they are actors being paid, or volunteering, to come to conservative sites generally disrupt any intelligent discussion and make all republicans look stupid by planting outlandish stories and conspiracies theories or very easily disproven ‘facts’.
But anyone who wanted Donald Trump to be reinstated isn’t a true conservative MAGA. Trump wouldn’t get a full term if he was reinstated and there’d be so much chaos, and craziness it would cause DJT to actually be bad as President if he was forced back into office.
I PRAYED that the election steal would and will be revealed BUT that Joe Biden would/will stay in office because of that. Trump needs a break from the office and he needs a full term. Plus removing a 78 year old man who lost his wife and 2 children from office after months or a year as President is harsh, cold and wrong. Besides Biden will prove how much of a below average Prez he is by 2024 and that will be enough to get at least 8 years MAGA Presidency
BTW the one conspiracy theory that is true is that Facebook and Nike literally brainwash millions of people to use their products. I have proof. Any FR who disagrees with this is a RINO CUCK and should support Sleepy Joe .
Any FR person who isn’t fully pro gun or pro life needs to leave and GTFO
I got to know him here in the BC era, Before Covid. He was amusing in an oddball way, not crazy. For a variety of reasons I’ve long suspected your second guess might be true.
Too bad we didn’t have ways to instantly travel to other planets with human like people on them in 2020 and 2021, then we’d be free to roam around those alien countries on other planets without social distancing, without face coverings, without vaccine passports since even if aliens on those other planets knew we had covid they wouldn’t do anything to stop us from going wherever we wanted on their planets (alien civilizations are nothing like Democrat liberal places on Earth)
I am serious, nothing in the bible says human like people don’t exist on other planets. Earth is literally the only place in our universe/dimension where lockdowns, mandates ,social distancing exists.
If i went instantly to another planet in another galaxy with life on it during lockdowns last year without face coverings and without social distancing when i got to those planets,not one CDC or FAUKKKI buddy would or could do anything about it
Is science fiction a genre that you enjoy?
Life on other planets is not science fiction. Billions of galaxies, billions of universes, there is human like people on other planets and NONE of those people on other planets would ever restrict us in any way shape or form if we went to their planets in 2020 or 2021 even if they found out we had covid since aliens on other planets don’t restrict people who are infected in any way shape or form.
teleport devices are however fiction
What is science fiction is that Joe Biden won the 2020 election fair and square. What is science fiction is climate change hoax. What is science fiction people saying life doesn’t begin at conception and that unborn babies don’t feel pain. What is science fiction is that people can change their sex/gender. What is science fiction is overpopulation
Those that push kook garbage DO NOT GET A PASS. They make all us look crazy and they are useful idiots for our enemies, furthering their narrative that the claims of vote fraud are all baseless, pushed only by deranged lunatics, and all of the claims should not be taken seriously.
I have. But researching something I already know is not true doesn't make a lot of sense. But you've done your 'research' I'm sure. Why not list all 20 AGs and enlighten us? Or do we have to wait until the 23rd when nothing is filed in the Supreme Court or anywhere else?
> “But researching something I already know is not true .....”
All that needs to be seen to know about you.
> “Why not list all 20 AGs and enlighten us?”
Who is this “us”? Are “they” more of the same that decide what is true without doing any research?
Research is also construed as “investigation” which, according to you, you haven’t done before deciding what you want. In other words, circular nonsense arriving at a premeditated conclusion is your display. Smells like “liberal” baloney.
It’s OK for others to ask me to explain what I know about the upcoming lawsuit, but to assert it’s not true puts the burden on who is asserting it’s not true.
I think I can count Fury along with me as being curious. We're the two trying to take you up on your bet. Twenty AGs signing on with Lindell and a Supreme Court filing at 9:30 AM next Tuesday. That was your claim and that's what we're willing to bet on.
I should point out that Lindell is all over the board on this one. In October he was claiming 30 AGs Link. Last week it was "minimum of 20" AGs Link.
So since you can't name the 20 AGs, much less the 30 AGs, then we'll have to wait until next week to see what Lindell has. The only question remaining is if you're going to take Fury and me up on our offer to take your bet? I believe Fury went $250 so I'll do $250 too. That's $500 to you.
Yes. According to Hostage this is a slam dunk. Easy money right, Hostage?
As the bard said, “The wish was father to the thought.” There was no chance of that ever happening.
> “According to Hostage this is a .....”
You’re speaking for me now?
Who else do you speak for?
And why is that people say you’re a creep and shouldn’t be paid attention to?
There was no chance of that ever happening, you are so right.
The fix was fixed, no matter how much it was wished it otherwise.
LOL! Sounds like you'e backing away from your claim of 20 AGs and betting...
I don’t remember Eschoir being THIS stupid and annoying. He was more ridiculous and stupid.
Bag, are you trying to be stupid or annoying? Or both?
Donald Trump is our President unofficially since the election was stolen. Eventually a MAGA will be back in office.
Conspiracy theories should be looked at as entertaining Conservative fan fiction not stuff to be taken literally. If you look at it like that its fine.
Besides the Democrats and Liberals have done so much evil we don’t need ‘conspiracy theories’ to expose just how evil, corrupt they are.
When we start eating our own, we splinter, then the Never Trumpers can swoop in and take us . We can’t fight over little things
I am all things to all men.
Nominee for stupidest comment of 2021.

Uhhh, Furry? Pro-tip:
The United States has already been overthrown. Where have you been? Any action taken to 'overthrow' the current Chinese puppet government would be a 'taking back' of the United States.
Understand your terms. Understand reality.
