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.
You sound like that idiot Rat who did not win the governor’s job in Georgia. Or you sound like some of the Rats when Bush 43 or when Trump won. Get over it. Focus on the future m
When foreign enemies conspire with domestic enemies to steal an election and overthrow an elected President (Trump landslide), that is an act of war combined with treason.
Surely the Constitution has remedies for that. I'm so tired of you people looking for ways to justify the coup and make people accept it docilely.
#WeakMeats
Really?
Show me where 'Q says' that.
#MakerUpper
Now you're catching on.
(November 12, 2020)
There is more logic in believing that people who post in support of the derp state are paid provocateurs, Pelham. You know, people that support the vax and the government covid 'response'. And people that attack Trump's Q operation. The indoctrinated government drones who repeat their psyop talking points. Those people.
Of which you are one.
No offense.
Slow down, earthling.
Maybe you haven't heard of The War of the Worlds. What was it killed the Martians again? That's right. The common cold. The aliens would be stupider than anti-Q jihadis to allow your dirty, cold spreading earth ass to wander around their planet.
They can read too.
Mask up, Captain Kirk.
What I hear you saying is, you fell for the derp state counter narrative hook, line, and sinker.
You have a soft mind.
Oh, people do say.
You sound like the French.
#SurrenderMonkey
Bro. I said, "No offense". Untwist your panties.
And what should we make of YOUR accusatory bullsh*t?
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 (that Bagster is a paid provocateur).
Not so fun when the rabbit gots the gun, eh counselor?
What I am is someone who’s been reading medical papers long before Covid and who’s not at all impressed by the goofball conspiracy theories that routinely spin out of the Q asylum.
Don't be impressed by so-called 'conspiracy theories'. Be impressed by the mountains of facts supporting and proving what you call 'conspiracy theories'.
You can only close your eyes to the truth for so long, my medical paper reading 'expert'.
I swear, you people.
p.s. Let's clean up the language. Family channel, wot?
The Constitution sets the start and end of a presidential term. The term which began on January 20, 2021 ends on January 20, 2025 regardless of who is in the Oval Office.
Well, Bagster the master interrogator finally broke him down and got him to dish.
The following is why everybody should pay attention to Pelham's opinion on the vax (which mirrors Fauci, Branden, and the rest of the derps')....
"What I am is someone who’s been reading medical papers long before Covid.".

ThankQ for finally coming clean, Pelham. Now go sit down while the grown-ups discuss the Chinese/Derp bio-war.
The Q ability to believe conspiracy nonsense is “mountains of fact” is legendary. It’s even easier for those who lack a rudimentary knowledge of virology, cell biology, vaccine history.
The 'mountains of facts' have been posted right here on FreeRepublic.com. Matter of fact, you are squeeing on one those mountains right now.
Scroll up, medical paper reader. We know you can read, by your own admission. Read the thread. I dare ya.
Oh, snap!
My mistake. Since you slid into Vax War propaganda, I thought we were on another thread I was just reading.
This one, I think:
Why Have We Not Been Told About Non-Pharmaceutical Therapies Before?
Or this one:
Connecticut nursing home COVID-19 outbreak results in 89 infected, 8 dead (87 of 89 vaxed)
Just two mountains in the fact range. Srolling up will do you no good, in this case. You'll only discover the scribblings of some cuck urging surrender. You'll have to click my links to travel to fact land.
Be safe.
I often read the threads. Where else could I find entertainment like “there is no virus” coexisting with “the vaccines cause the variants” and “the vaccines are altering our genetic code”. Plus I have a special affection for the now-neglected HCQ.
Sorry, Pelham. But actual experts have spoken on those topics. Your scoffery is based on nothing. Your words are wind and you are no longer to be taken seriously (if you ever were).
#ScienceDenier
Regarding your thread “Why Have We Not Been Told About Non-Pharmaceutical Therapies Before?” I’ve been posting about gut biome research long before Covid showed up. It’s estimated to be 70% of the human immune system. Good for your general health but it won’t have antibodies against a novel virus.
ADE presents itself as soon as a vaccinated individual is challenged with the wild virus. The test animals would be dropping dead right away just as they did when whole virus vaccines were attempted for SARS-1 and MERS. The kooks at that British ‘expose’ site can pass off their ADE scare story because their readers won’t know any better.
“actual experts have spoken “
So... you’re basically Fauci Redux, “asserting your premise” as we say in the study of informal logical fallacies.
