I don't know brother. I'm not accusing you. The bible says no man who is a soldier gets caught up with the civil affairs of the country he's been deployed to (this world) if we want to please our Commanding Officer. We shouldn't be too caught up and enmeshed with these earthly concerns but our concerns and efforts should be for God's kingdom. Maybe ask the Lord about this. I wish I could explain it better.
I think you are explaining just fine, actually. And you are completely correct that there is risk of worldly things dimming our lights, and that worldly things never replace heavenly things in our minds. And I'm not immune to that, I know that. Sometimes I realize my mind is getting too caught up in it, and I pull back. That's like everything else worldly/fleshy, something starts creeping into the mind, and when we realize it, we snuff it out.

There's what James wrote, true religion is caring for the widow and the fatherless, politics is a tool to accomplish that, and other needful things also.

Much love!

But... God's Word does not say that.

The church should be benevolent, to the household of faith first and then to those outside the church.

All secular government does is fraudulent because they operate in the wisdom of men while rejecting the Lord.

Indeed that is so! So then politics and governance is off limits to you as a tool to use for good? Only evil people should take leadership roles in the land?

I think Proverbs has a lot to say about that. It's not the right choice, that's certain.

All secular government does is fraudulent because they operate in the wisdom of men while rejecting the Lord.
So wouldn't that be different if you have a Christian governor? Someone who looks to the Lord to give wisdom to lead? Someone who seeks to honor God by doing their best for the people?

Much love!

Trump is creating a mess, I suspect all these issues to backfire on him.
It is already backfiring on Elon Musk.
By the looks of it, he has had his longest time as a Trump adviser.

Cracks are starting to appear within the administration.
Some will be without a job, as it happened during the previous Trump administration.

It only is a matter of time and some will see the light and walk away from the mess.
And others get fired.
It's the "Trump System".
The only one wanting to crerat a mess is clearly coming from the Left in fact ! Stupid retards that they are think that we do not understand what it is that they are desperatly trying to do ! It's the same old same old as ever, in the old Game of playing out that Trump is the Monster.

They Idolise their Communist ends, demanding that everyone becomes Equal !
The lowest denominator is the set standard for all in fact !
That's why they demand every filthy grub to be elavated up high as the standard for all, all queers must be Idolised or else in fact.
Now some queers are not a issue ? but the mantra is demanded that all Queers even the most depraved outright filth Queers are your Masters in fact ! so that they lord it over you all in fact !
That's just one issue that they demand !

Then it's the same deal with Abortion issue as well, They brought in the Creep show all the way with abortion on demand in fact, that went way to far in fact !
They steeped into the same demanding that it's all a free for all ! no holds bared form of depravity once again !

Not to mention that such who are in fact Satanist Socialist Communist demand the truth once again about reality of two Genders be outright bastardised ! and make up a outright Satanic display of lies and deceptions, put men in Sports compeating against women, as if all is fair and just, not to mention that they do not understand what a woman is in fact ! seriously that their mantra ! Undermining women that's clearly the work of Satanist ! and as for men well that's only peddling the queer agenda once again !

They also demanded to destroy School childrens minds to become twisted up ! that is clearly a work of Satanist ! Young people have told me of such was pushed on them from the school system to be depraved and try out sex with the same genda, it was pushed and promoted by the School system in fact !

Anyone who is being lead along with Satan is going to Hell in fact !

One can not enter into the Kingdom of God unless you pass the test that is written in the Bible, it says who can not enter in fact ! you all know Their is a list in fact !

History repeats its self. the signs are all over the Trump administration.
America first. Does "Deutschland uber alles" ring a bell?

Promises of more prosperity, the same was preached in 1930's Germany.

Taking Canada and Greenland.

Same happened in Europe, Germany needed more space... and took Polen and Austria.

Orders signed in the White House, one after the other,
all power in the hands of one man: Trump.
Same in Germany, everything signed by one man: Hitler.

Thinking about stopping the income tax? Same with Hitler.
Making promises he can't keep and being a liar......same with Hitler.

The Trump administration took away secret service protection from many officials in the former administration......Hitler did the same!!

Slowly the present US administration is turning into a dictatorship.
He already mentioned a third term, which is not possible in the US.
But he said "there is a way".

Wake up people!!!

You know all the story about the frog in the warm water.
Slowly the temp. was raised. The frog did not notice.
Be aware!!!

J.D. Vance was right a number of years when he said Trump is like Hitler.
Hitler was surrounded by "yes" people, so is Trump.

God help the United States!!!!

If you want or need to renegotiate trade deals you have every right to do that I"m sure....but there is no need to be belligerent about it. Doesn't seem wise to make enemies out of your own allies, especially in times like these.
Every post is from presumed weakness and moral depravity! How dare an American President object with manly firmness wrong done to his country?! See Declaration of Independence.

I guess you would have preferred the ungodliness of the democrats with a Harris presidency…
You guessed wrong.

Why is it that if a person does not like Trump,

people right away think you are a Harris supporter??????

Harris was no hair better than trump. <-------------------------

Out of a large US population, both were the worst candidates possible.
Boggles the mind.

The % of trade is not the issue but % of tariff against US interests. What % tariff does your country, the Netherlands, impose on US goods?
Partly due to the sharp increase in imports of natural gas and oil from the United States, the trade deficit with the Netherlands has risen to 16.3 billion euros. That is more than twice as high as five years ago, the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) has announced. In the first three quarters of 2024, Dutch companies exported 28.2 billion euros worth of goods to the United States (US). Conversely, the import value of goods from the US amounted to 44.4 billion euros.

So actually we should increase our tariffs :wavinghand

Already found the US price for a McDonald cheeseburger ?

US dollars being sent to Ukraine has prolonged the war. This war has made many people very rich with US dollars, and they don't want the gravy train to stop, even with the destruction of the nation.

Much love!

Forgot that?

Biden did not.

The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances comprises four substantially identical political agreements signed at the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) in Budapest, Hungary, on 5 December 1994, to provide security assurances by its signatories relating to the accession of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The four memoranda were originally signed by four nuclear powers: Ukraine, Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom.[1] France and China gave individual assurances in separate documents.[2]

The memoranda, signed in Patria Hall at the Budapest Convention Center with U.S. Ambassador Donald M. Blinken amongst others in attendance,[3] prohibited Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, "except in self-defence or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations." As a result of other agreements and the memorandum, between 1993 and 1996, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons.[4][5]

Russia violated the Budapest memorandum in 2014 with its annexation of Ukraine's Crimea.[6][7] As a response, the United States, United Kingdom, and France provided Ukraine with financial and military assistance, and imposed economic sanctions on Russia, while ruling out "any direct interventions to avoid a direct confrontation with Russia".[6]

Found it myself.

Cheeseburger $2.39, Dutch price 1.90 euro, translates to $1.71, so a lot more expensive than in the Netherlands.

Could it be that average prices in USA are higher than in Europe?

Certainly true for cars.

Similar quotes were made in Germany about Hitler as well.
Yea, both are nationalists. Just because you have something in common with a bad person does not mean there are not differences with that bad person.

All the fascist signs are out there.

One thing in common, nationalism, is not the same as "all the signs of fascism" is there.

Those who hired Trump, like me, believe nationalism is good. Another word for that is patriotism. In the Bible, we are told by Peter to always be ready to give a defense of our faith. Likewise, patriots should always be ready to defend their country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. I am a Christian Nationalist.
