First, consider the source--the New American, publication of the John Birch Society. Before, people would cringe if you told them your read something from any of their publications. But today, with the Dems taking on more extreme positions, the JBS look positively normal and rational.
Latest news about impeachment is just another Dem publicity stunt, but I think it will backfire---Mr. Joe Q. Citizen will look at their craziness and say, 'Am I going to vote for these people again?'
You and I who probably don't pay much attention to news from the major TV networks, can easily forget that most Americans do get their news from them. They hang on CNN like it was Moses coming down from the mountain. So we have to think, this constant drumbeat against President Trump..what effect is it having on the public.
I do hope that they are tired of it, and are turning off the news and deciding to stop supporting Dems. But, since 'all politics is local' they will still vote for local candidates who they like for some local reason. And in some areas, like NYC, Chicago, LA, voting for anything but Dems is seen as treason.
Some conservatives like John Derbyshire say Trump will not win reelection next year, due to failures on things like immigration. He forgets about the judges on Supreme Court |

Better for Christians to teach their own children at home, like Paul says in his letter to Timothy:
I Timothy 5
3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. 5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. 8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man. 10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; 12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. 13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; |

This does not surprise me in the least. Put this story next to the one we saw here at SA News about some Hillsong person saying they weren't Christians anymore, and you get the idea that what it means to be Christian is a very fluid concept, subject to the whims of anyone anywhere (yes, reminds you of those Old Testament days when 'everyone did what was right in their own eyes').
I remember how surveys of prisoners show that 99 percent of them believe in God. Now, as to what that God is like, that's another question. No doubt many of the black prisoners have been 'evangelized' by the Nation of Islam (with Farrakhan, the anti-Semite), so their idea of God is similar to the Muslim God.
By the way, speaking of black prisoners, did you see in your local news about the knife attack in Tallahassee, Florida about a week ago? The black guy knifed about 5 white people, but the mainstream media were not out there claiming a racial bias in his attack, and I doubt he will charged with any 'hate crime' |
