John Maynard Keynes is alleged to have said ‘When the facts change, I change my mind — what do you do, sir?’ I am no fan of Keynes generally, but there is something to be said for that pithy ‘second-thoughts’ comment. It pains me to admit it, but the President’s address to the joint session of Congress put me in mind of Keynes’s observation. After all, was it not a rousing address? Even long-time critics acknowledged it. One described it as ‘a perfect blend of strength and empathy’. I have to agree. That same commentator wrote that ‘Tonight, I was moved and inspired. Tonight, I have hope and faith in America again.’
I think a lot of people fell that way. Many people agreed with him. Yes, it’s early days yet. But let’s face it. The President has already racked up significant victories. Think about his energy policy, his attack on illegal immigration, his efforts to dismantle or at least pare back the leviathan that is the administrative state, his proposals to reduce the tax burden for both businesses and individuals while also strengthening America’s military: in these and other initiatives has he not taken bold steps to fulfill his campaign promises to return power from Washington to the People and ‘make America great again’.
Oops: I was talking about the wrong speech! That was about Donald Trump’s 2018 State of the Union address, in which he called upon Americans to put aside the partisan passions that divide ... It was his next State of the Union address, in 2020, when Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, sitting directly behind President Trump, capped the evening picking up a copy of the speech and tearing it in two.

I've been ready for war since Vicky Weaver caught a bullet. Since that lunatic Koresh was burned alive by Janet Reno. Since Bush put the very same DHS into play that is now tracking posts just like this one to use again us. Since the Kenyan took power and abused the hell out of it. Since an entire Presidential election was blatantly STOLEN.
Do not dare to "appeal to Heaven" now without at least acknowledging all that you have not done due to wanting to keep the peace.
I hear a lot about prayers to GOD on FR, I don’t think that GOD meddles much in the politics of MEN.
I pray to the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY for my immortal soul; to keep me on the straight and narrow path of honesty and truth.
I believe that JESUS is the SON OF GOD and that I should try as hard as I am able to walk in HIS path.
Being an imperfect man, I am quite certain that I often don’t measure up to the expectations of my SAVIOR.
I don’t believe that prayers for our great nation, in politics or war mean a great deal to the LORD ALMIGHTY, those prayers are self serving after all.
The LORD GOD gave men FREE WILL, to do good or evil; a moderately sized number of people have chosen to do evil for monetary gain or self aggrandizement, a great number of people have chosen to do nothing to bring attention to themselves in the futile hope that they will be the last to suffer.
The first group of people will suffer the consequences of their actions, unfortunately only after they have caused much suffering and despair on the part of that second group of people.
The smallest group of people who try to raise the alarm and warn of the consequences of inaction have been pretty well segregated and almost silenced by by BOTH of the first two groups.
By the first group out of a desire for control, power, and personal gain; by the second group out of fear of social repercussions, ignorance and just plain cowardice.
I hope and believe that I am in that third group; I do not fear social ostracizing (couldn’t care less what other people think of me), don’t care about their personal attacks, if met with violence, I will respond with violence. I will no longer turn the other cheek and I will not be silent.
I do what I can in my very small part of the world to enlighten my neighbors about what is happening in the local, state, and federal government; to explain what different policies are being created and instituted and how those policies will affect our lives.
Some listen and get engaged, some don’t listen, some just don’t care.
We’ve pushed God out. That’s what we’ve done.
Did not watch. Never have, even for President Trump as it makes me sick to see all of those scumbags in one place like that. Ruling, yes ruling, over us without a care in the world.
Anywho, I was thinking that when I got on here, I’d be reading that President Harris finally took control, publicly, and it was going to be a modified scenario like at the end of the movie, Dave.
Are you speaking in code?
Regards,
The word ‘jobs’ occurred nearly 50 times in tonight’s address.
Ready for war,eh? Do you own any registered guns?

Some of us have been prepared since that time, knowing that by being on such a list makes it all too easy to round you up, leaving the warfighting to us.

Run them out on a rail.
Democrats love jobs. They just hate business.
Democrats love jobs. They just hate business.
Agreed, but that doesn’t help our truly desperate situation.
” what have we done to deserve them?

We failed to uphold the Constitution and prevent the Kenyan from Indonesia from the office the Constitution says he may not hold.
Forfeit part, lose all.
And we have failed to pray as though all depends on God (which it does!)...
...while working as though it all depends on us. “

AMERICA PRAYER VIGIL (April 29, 2021) *PRAYER*
Free Republic ^ | 4/29/2021 | Free Republic Intercessors
Posted on 4/28/2021, 10:03:56 PM by stars & stripes forever
Join together with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media.
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ~ 1 Timothy 2:1-2

Paraphrasing Immanuell Kant: "Out of the crooked timber of (democratism), no straight thing was ever made."
WELL SAID.
Excellent post.
Indifference is the polar opposite of love.
What I've bought, bartered, or built since then is none of their concern.
Then there's training... Also none of their concern.
I'm still in my middle-years and have kept myself reasonably fit.
So yeah... Ready.
Don't get me wrong... I am a Marine. No one who has served during war time WANTS another war. Some of us have realized, for the last couple of decades, that war is inevitable.
bebeit = benefit
Guys like you will be the first targets when war breaks out.
So no... not ready. You’re already on the list.
You didn’t miss much past your 30 seconds.
Even lacking ‘sound and fury’, it signified nothing.
