Rough Waters Ahead?

Theology and Politics from a Conservative, Biblical Perspective

Several things have been occurring that will do what I have suggested would happen following Trump’s major victory in the recent election, a victory that cannot be denied because of the fact that Trump overwhelmingly won the popular and the electoral college vote. I previously noted that Trump’s second term would very likely make his first term look like a party because of all the shenanigans perpetrated by the Left, the party of hate. We’re starting to see how that’s taking place.

First up, the Biden administration has just given “permission” to Ukraine to use USA long-range missiles to hit targets deep inside Russia.[1][2] I believe another country – either UK or France – has done the same. What this ostensibly means is that Ukraine will now do that very thing, prompting Putin to respond with nukes potentially. The stupidity of this is amazingly asinine because it is another huge step toward WWIII. Those who are unable to see the sheer stupidity of this are themselves either deceived or simply knowingly lying to themselves. The warmongers are loose and creating havoc because that’s how they get their kickbacks (and kicks!).

With this new development, Putin has essentially stated that he will view any upcoming targeted attacks deep within Russia as a direct attack by NATO.[3] To think he will not respond to that is ridiculous. Of course he will respond to it because he has Russia to think about, doesn’t he?

In a related matter, good ol’ puppet President Zelenskyy of Ukraine has essentially stated that Trump cannot simply come in and tell Ukraine to ratchet things down. Why? Well, according to Zelenskyy Ukraine is an “independent country.” Really? Is that why Ukraine can seemingly do nothing without everyone else either throwing money, weapons or both at Ukraine to take on big, bad Russia? Take away all the money and weaponry literally given to Ukraine and where does that leave Ukraine? Helpless. In other words, Ukraine has no wherewithal to help themselves. They have no money and they have no weapons. A truly independent nation would not need to rely on these things to fight an actual enemy. That would be like David going up against Goliath and threatening the giant, but then turning around and begging Edom, Moab, Egypt and other nations to send help to slay Goliath. I can hear Goliath laughing at that now.

Of course, this is all being done to make the transition to the Trump administration a disaster. They want the world enveloped in all-out WWIII before Trump takes office. I also believe there will be marked economic problems during Trump’s first year. Then they’ll see what Trump can do, so there! These people do not care one iota about who lives or who dies. In fact, the Technocrats with their table top exercises are intent on killing as many people as possible. If they aren’t using some fake pandemic to make that happen, they’ll fall back on their war efforts. The goal is to keep the fear coming and promoted through their bought and paid for mainstream media bureaus whose only goal is to make their owners happy, not to actually inform the populace with truth. No, that would be asking way too much. They must overcome global society with constant fear-induced pressure.

Climate change, wars and rumors of wars, pandemics, food shortages and all the rest are the constant order of the day, to turn society against itself while governments throughout the world become more and more fascist and tyrannical. It is so obvious to critically thinking people that it would be laughable if it were not actually true. They want us dead and what we are seeing is the fulfillment of what Jesus spoke of in His Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21), as well as what has been expressed through numerous New Testament letters written by Paul, Peter, John and others. It’s really all there to see and understand, but is still considered a “conspiracy theory” by the illiterate Left.

WWIII is being ramped up by dark forces within our government who are sold out to the technocratic left (RINOs and Democrats). Food shortages are coming we are told as is another pandemic. Climate change is going to cause mass extinction apparently.

Don’t you just love the fact that non-scientists like Bill Gates, John Kerry, John Podesta and many others are explaining “climate change” to us; how it works, what it will destroy, etc.? Yet, these same non-scientists we are to fully believe shake their collective heads at someone like RFK Jr., whom they say is not a scientist. The stupidity is thick and unfortunately, too many people simply take what Gates, Kerry et al state without even thinking about it, while someone like RFK Jr., is assigned to the conspiracy theory trash bin. It’s more than ridiculous.

But speaking of Trump picks for government positions, notice that the newly elected Majority Leader in the Senate (Thune), says on one hand, he is looking forward to cooperating with Trump and his administration, but on the other hand says that Trump’s picks will be very difficult to get through the Senate. Thune is so anti-Trump, he reeks of it, yet, like many politicians, he pretends he wants to play nice.

Many in Congress will push back against Trump’s picks, like Democrat Alex Padilla (CA), who says he would do it to support the Constitution.[4] Uh, sure, okay, but you actually have to know what the Constitution says first, Alex.

Trump could “recess” Congress. Thune’s response to that is that there will not be enough votes to recess Congress. I’m not an expert in the Constitution of the United States of America, but it seems to me that Thune has no knowledge of Article 2 Section 3. Let me quote it.

He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.[5]

So what does that mean? It’s really simple. The “he” in the above paragraph is referring to the President of the United States of America (POTUS). In that paragraph, some of POTUS’ responsibilities and privileges are outlined with respect to Congress.

• POTUS will give a State of the Union address before Congress
• He will recommend measures that he believes are “necessary and expedient”
• POTUS may also “on extraordinary Occasions”
  • convene both Houses (House and Senate) or either of them, and
  • in Case of Disagreement…may ADJOURN them until POTUS thinks it’s proper to bring them back together

So what does all that mean? Very simply, it means that if Senate simply lives to block POTUS’ appointed nominees for various government offices (disagreeing with POTUS), he reserves the right to put Congress on RECESS. At that point, his appointments will simply go into effect.

More importantly, Thune apparently believes that if POTUS tries to recess Congress, there would not be the necessary votes to make that happen. The problem with that is that if POTUS decides to recess Congress, there is NO voting on it. None. Zilch. It will simply happen.

If Congress wants to recess themselves, it is at that point they need to vote on it, but not if POTUS declares a recess. Thune is an idiot – forgive me – because he knows nothing and I would venture to say that most people in Congress also know very little to nothing about the Constitution.

So hopefully, someone has pointed this out to Trump, so that he is prepared for it when Senate starts blocking all of his nominations from taking office just because they hate him. The Constitution is a wonderful document. It is very detailed in how it works and our elected politicians are either deliberately clueless about things or they simply pretend to be for the sake of the low-information voter.

We can hope that Donald J. Trump has good legal advisers this time out, who will help him navigate the Constitution in his second term. Now, if Trump does go this route and recess Congress and then make his appointments (and he will not be the first president ever to do that during congressional recesses), we can rest assured that the Left will call him “fascist,” “dictator” and threaten to sue him in court, blah, blah, blah. That’s a given because Trump has a lot to gain if he successfully puts into play his wish list for the USA.

I’m already tired. Are you tired? The Left is exhausting really because they are so good at being evil, creating problems and laying blame. People with critical thinking skills see it clearly for what it is but those without those skills cannot see it. Think of all the people who actually believed that Harris was the best candidate for the United States! Now they’re having major meltdowns because their candidate lost.

But I will say this…I couldn’t agree with actress Justine Bateman more. Remember her from “Family Ties”? She played a bit of an airhead on the show to help set up comedy bits for Michael J. Fox’s character. Well, she’s not even close to being an airhead in reality as evidenced by her posts on X.

As readers can see from just a small sampling of her posts, she says what many of us feel. I’m tired of walking on eggshells too. I’m tired of being made to feel as though I’m a fascist who supports a dictator. We were “allowed” to have “permitted positions” and thoughts about climate change, the pandemic, Trump, Ukraine and the rest. We were told anything that was not in line with the approved positions would be censored. Because of this, people’s lives were drastically commandeered toward the negative. People had to be very careful about what they said in public and what they wore in public.

Wear a Trump hat or T-shirt? Expect to be verbally eviscerated or even physically attacked. Why? Because we were told for well over four years that Trump is Hitler and anyone who supported him is a Nazi or garbage or both. I’m done with it.

The tone has and is changing. I will no longer keep things to myself. I see a lot of white women on X warning about what they will do to Trump supporters if/when they see them in public. It’s almost hilarious because anyone can be really brave when they’re simply talking into their phones, then posting it on social media.

The way the Left has had such a suffocating grip on society for the past nearly 8 years is reprehensible. That’s over. I’ve noticed that people who actively listed their pronouns are quietly removed them now. It seems that transgenders are having second thoughts.

Climate change supporters are going nuts and this is in spite of actual scientists presenting actual evidence that there is no such thing as climate change. Trump is done with it, calling it a hoax. He wants to get the USA back on track for being energy independent. Will it happen? I think he’ll make progress but he should also expect to be sued at every turn. But then again, maybe he’ll just do what Biden did by ignoring the courts and putting his plans into fruition anyway.

Trump wants to deport the millions of people who illegally gained entry to the USA. Will he be successful? With Tom Hohman at the helm of Homeland Security, there’s a good chance.

Everything Trump will attempt in the next few years (provided he lives), will be met with roadblock attempts by the Left. I don’t think Trump will cave and he’ll continue pushing on, but let’s not kid ourselves, his second term will not be easy. It’s going to be tough all the way.

This is why all Christians need to be praying for Trump’s administration on a daily basis. I don’t believe God would have gotten Trump elected if God did not have plans. Try not to get caught up emotionally in all the stupidity proffered by the Left against Trump and the USA. Distance yourself from it as best you can while you continually pray that God will direct.

I could go on and on, but you clearly get the point. Rough waters ahead!
