So many of us are feeling unsure about the upcoming election. Our instincts, our senses, our gut feelings, are telling us one thing, while the constant noise is telling us quite the opposite.
But, that's life, right?
It is so easy to get caught up in the lures and the traps, and we sometimes forget that God is still in control!
My prayer is that God isn't finished with us yet... that he isn't finished with this experiment in self-governing which has stood apart, while playing a crucial part, as it has changed the world!
I believe that our system of Government is the best, the one to be modeled, and is still relevant!
God may be close to giving up on this Republic of ours, but he will never give up on us. We the People, are first and foremost, His Children.
"God's Will be done On Earth as it is in Heaven".
God Bless America, land that I love!

  I believe God doesn't follow a strict timetable, and sometimes it seems He teaches us lessons in difficult ways. These experiences often help the majority recognize the difference between right and wrong, guiding us toward what is just and beneficial for everyone.
  
  When considering the current state of our great nation in relation to the upcoming election, I recognize that we are a nation in progress. Mistakes have been made, and undoubtedly more will come, but I believe God continues to guide us as we move forward. The fact that our nation is so divided should be a clear indicator that God hasn’t given up on us. Instead, it shows that there’s still hope and potential for healing and unity. It's a reminder that, despite our challenges, we still have the opportunity to learn and grow together.

  Yep. I think we all figured out just how screwed up we had become as a Nation during the so-called 'Summer of Love'.
  A Constitutional Republic in which the people don't know (and don't care to learn) about its Founding, its History. When even George Washington and Abraham Lincoln aren't off limits from destruction, it's an epic fail!

  So true... Have you noticed how they're targeting Musk on MSN? They're calling for investigations—it's laughable! If he decides to play "an eye for an eye," Russia might just go back to being our ride to space. Plus, imagine what would happen if he moved his business offshore and took all his satellites with him. Musk doesn’t strike me as the type to put up with any nonsense. He’s direct, quick to make decisions, and approaches things with common sense. He won't get caught up in the games these clowns are trying to play.

  The problem is people have become entitled without exerting effort. People are making deleterious life choice yet they complain about the dire consequences of their actions. They further expect a positive lifestyle although their actions & behavior are negative. They expect other people to carry them.
  
  These same people are envious of those who strategize & exert effort to become successful. Oh yes, these are the people who hate meritocracy. If they don't succeed, they blame outside factors instead of looking inward to themselves. They want others to "give them a break", failing to realize that they have to make the opportunities, no one else.
  
  There are people who have pity parties. They are the dramatics who want people to feel sorry for them. They whine incessantly so that others can give them a pass. It has gone from ask not what your country can do for you but what YOU can do for your country to ask not what you can do for your country but what YOUR COUNTRY can do for you.

  People need to buck up and have the guts to try, or else we’re going to end up settling for what we’ve seen in the past four years. It’s amusing to see how fearful some have become—it's not a good look. Personally, I refuse to sit back and watch everything collapse out of fear. Oh my God, Trump had a very good tenure!

"God may be close to giving up on this Republic of ours,

In my mind, to give up on the republic is to give up on us.

In my mind, God will not give up on the United States of America.
And we must HELP HIM!

In my mind, if Kamala gets into office, it will be the consequence of our ignorance. Have we educated our children and ourselves according to God's Word, Moral Laws and Natural World?

It is very beneficial to reflect in a positive way on our nation founded on the principles of our inalienable Rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. By Happiness, we mean the Happiness that exists on a Spiritual level, not on a level of egoity.

Thank you, abwilliams. You have saved my morning.

  Wonderful that a campaign of anger, hate, division, fear and lies headed by a man with abhorrent character has prevailed?
  
  Very much looking forward to holding him to the same standards Biden has been held to over the past 4 years. He made a lot of day one promises that will be near impossible to follow through on. I will literally be looking for my energy prices to drop by 50% the day after he takes office, along with gas prices and food prices falling immediately.
  
  Remember, he has promised to "fix" everything.. and have it done very quickly.
  
  The clown car of characters he's assembling is also not very inspiring.

  "Wonderful that a campaign of anger, hate, division, fear and lies headed by a man with abhorrent character has prevailed? "
  
  He never showed anger, hate, or division. His character is exemplary, with the spirit to fight through challenges that most wouldn’t even consider. He’s now a well-loved political figure who has been willing to fight for our democracy. He stands for American values and has stepped up, saying he will work to make a better America that respects those values. Unlike the Democrats, who have sought to tear down those values since Obama, he has always offered to stay on the path that made this country great and work to improve it.
  
  Trump never promoted hate or anger; he showed incredible courage in pointing out that we were drifting away from the foundation we’ve built over more than two centuries. It’s clear that you’re bitter, and it’s also clear that you don’t see what the majority of Americans have voiced. You seem to continually predict negative problems that you believe will occur, but you refuse to face what has already happened under the administration you support. This is a red flag. Ignoring the real issues we’ve experienced is a clear sign of avoiding accountability, and it’s hard to move forward when we can’t even acknowledge the problems we’re currently facing.
  
  I have nothing in common with your attitude, and I have no intention of going back and forth with your hand-wringing. That kind of negativity is part of the problem with the division we see today. I’m not willing to engage with the sad negativity you share. I’m stepping away from those who hinder the healing of our divide and reaching out to those who are working to mend it.

I didn’t expect you would be "inspired", but I thought you might have, at the very least, taken off your rose-colored glasses in order to see Kamala's true colors!!
She didn't make an appearance last night, not in public, not via a video, or a phone call (she's big on those) nothing, nada from her!!
A spokesperson told the crowd (waiting for hours) basically, she's not speaking, go home! Doesn't that tick you off just a little bit? You are mad at the wrong person, the wrong people.

  Well AB, I very much look forward to holding Trump's feet to the fire on every fantastical, unrealistic promise that he has made. Starting on day one. No excuses. Our economy has recovered, under Biden's administration, from the pandemic. All trends are headed in the right direction. Trump, if he had any sense, would ride the trend as he did with Obama's economy... But he's made y'all a lot of crazy promises that literally every expert believes will tank the economy. He's got some tough choices ahead of him.

  Not exactly...
  
  We are spending (as a nation) $1Trillion more every 3 months than we are taking in... that adds to debt.
  
  We have a WORLD that is disconnecting from the Dollar as its reserve, and finding alternatives to SWIFT.
  
  BRICS has added the UAE and Saudi Arabia into its ranks, nations that used to solely trade Oil in the Dollar. Now they don't want to use the Dollar at all.
  
  If by recovery you mean everything is now 25% more expensive than it was 4 years ago... then yes, we have... and I think Americans are struggling to survive and get by in this new 'recovered' economy.

  Ken, I was so shocked to see the debt Biden would be leaving, sort of escaped me, but wow! It looks like he will leave about 8 trillion.
  
  I find it concerning that there are signs that some countries are moving away from using the U.S. dollar in international trade. Nations like China, Russia, and several others have been exploring alternatives, such as using their own currencies or regional currencies for trade, and some are even considering digital currencies. The world moving away from the dollar and finding alternatives to SWIFT, is concerning. This shift could weaken our economic influence and impact our financial stability.
  
  We now have a strong man that solves problems not create them and then ignore them. My faith remains strong as it was with the American people to make the right decision and put him back in office. I think his strength will pull us out of this huge mess Biden has created.

  Each president inherits the National Debt of the previous president. Therefore, Trump's debt will start where Biden's debt ends. The same thing with the economy. The stock market, not withstanding Trump, it's at an all time high with low interest rates, and low inflation rates.
  
  However, Trump will claim them as his stats as soon as he steps into office and his supporters will believe him because of his smoke and mirrors act.

  Oh yes, the same stats will be considered wonderful, attributed to Trump's sharp mind lol. Many of his followers seem to have a shaky grasp of economics. Biden has successfully steered this country through the economic hardships brought by covid. And the upward trends, I believe, are only going to continue... Yes only for Trump to take credit just as he did when he rode the coattails of Obama's economy. The Right has been griping about grocery prices ad nauseum, I haven't seen anything in Trump's so-called plan that addresses those costs. As soon as he takes office, and costs remain the same, do you think we'll ever hear them complaining again? Nope.

  I have no plans to engage with you any further. Save your energy for directing insults elsewhere, as you did with AB. From now on, I'll be more deliberate about how I share my thoughts.
  
  The reality is clear: we have a new president, and he won with a significant majority. I see no reason to doubt that this majority made the right choice. Democracy has spoken, and it spoke loudly. Maybe it’s time you listened.
  
  I've moved on and am committed to fostering unity instead of staying stuck in the past. I will continue to judge Trump based on his actions and the job I supported him for. I was highly satisfied with his work during his time in the White House and have developed deep respect for his tenacity and courage. My hope is for the country to heal and move forward, rather than stay trapped in past rhetoric.
  
  You need to also take a long look at what the Democrats as well as left media have called and labeled this man, some of the most vile labels one could imagine. You don't seem to do that, do you? So, should you be tossing around the words " That's very intelligent. Ignorance can be bliss." ?

  It's OK for Trump to insult everybody under the sun who opposes him. It's called freedom of speech. If he can do it, then I have the right to do it as well. I never mentioned ab's name. She told me to go play or follow Willow. That's a really intelligent reply to my comment..
  
  I am afforded the same rights as him am I not? Besides I like to use him as my role model when it comes to freedom of speech. He hollered "Fire in a theater" when he said that there was no money left in FEMA for those who were in the flooded regions. He made a mess out that situation for FEMA, first responders, and the flood victims.
  
  You and Trumpers don't care about his lack of character, but I do. So you and your merry band of Trumpers just forget about his lack of character because you think he has great problem solving skills, and just continue to make excuses for him.
  
  Trump won the election because he convinced people that Biden's economy is bad when it isn't. It's the corporations that are price gouging the people.. Trump made Biden look bad because he killed the bipartisan immigration bill...nothing more nothing less. I have to give him credit, he convinced all those people who don't know any better. I can't wait to see what he does with mass deportation, Tariffs, and reorganizing the who government structure.

  "I've moved on and am committed to fostering unity instead of staying stuck in the past"
  
  Why unity now? Your posts have often centered around how very different"mindsets" are and how ideologies are.so very far apart. Honestly, sometimes giving the impression that Democrats and Republicans are different species of human. I can't recall any posts calling for unity under Biden.

  What do you think Make America Great Again means? That's past tense. It implies, let's keep America stuck in the past. In my view, America has always been great. Germany was decimated after WWI and Hitler used the same slogan to rally his people: Make Germany Great Again.

Pinpointing negativity is actually destructive to hopes, wishes and will: The latter being the most powerful force of progress and power. Negativity only serves to put bricks on momentum.
Onward!
I say.

  Me too! I wish he could start right now. It would be a huge relief to move on from the person whose poor judgment led to all these issues and who isn't fully capable mentally of handling the problems he caused... But I know that’s not realistic at the moment.
  
  I had strong faith in the American people’s innate good sense, and they really delivered big time. I have the same confidence in Trump. He fought tirelessly to keep his promises in his first term, which is why I fully support him. Maybe that’s why such an outstanding number of Americans cast their votes to bring him back. My God In my view, he is most likely working feverishly to get a head start. I never question God's plan...
  
  I mean Angie, could you not be happier today -- I have had an ear-to-ear smile non-stop for two days now! Sunday, I will host a celebration to celebrate our new president!

  Hi Shar, sorry for not responding earlier, but for some reason my feed isn't updating?! I have had to search out any and all responses on every forum discussion I am involved in!?!? Have you ever had that happen? I have sought assistance from HP, so, hopefully, I can figure out what's up!
  
  In the meantime,
  YES, I am ecstatic!!
  Haven't felt this good after/and about, an election, in a long, long time.
  A Celebration Party, I love it!

  Angie, no, that hasn't happened to me. But I'm really excited that President Trump just appointed Susie Wiles as his chief of staff! History is being made, as she will be the first woman to hold this position. I truly believe we’re on a path toward a better America.

  Yes, I wonder if Mark Cuban can get his foot out of his mouth. I am really pretty excited about sending Trump back to the White House. And can't wait to see who he takes with him. I am hoping for young, old, and yes some women. I think we are in for a history-making 4 years. It has been reported he has already received calls and made calls to many world leaders. I have my fingers crossed he will be bringing in Tulsi, I mean I have a list. LOL

  I’m eager to see if Tulsi Gabbard gets an appointment—maybe even as the first female Secretary of Defense? I can hope! I’m confident she’ll be joining him when he returns to Washington. I was so pleased to see he appoint Susie Wiles chief of staff. The first woman to hold the job! We are making history!

  I will be both disappointed, and consider it a very troubling sign, if Tulsi does not have a prominent role in the Administration.
  
  We need people with experience and fortitude, with a backbone willing to stand for what is right occupying as many high-ranking positions as possible... none are stronger or more pro-American than Tulsi.
