In Ecclesiastes Solomon wrote, “Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil.” In Matthew’s gospel Jesus said, “And because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.”
Last week a video showed a criminal “sucker punching” another man who was just standing on the corner. The punch put the victim into a coma and seriously damaged his brain. The criminal, who has a long history of crimes, was arrested and appeared before a judge who released him back onto the street without bail.
Videos showing violent attacks by angry bullies against the most vulnerable among us lead newscasts every day. Viewers are no longer shocked at the brutality of these bullies or at the damage they inflict on their victims.
Those on the political right blast the police and judicial system for their failure to prevent or prosecute these violent criminal acts. The LEFT says Trump continually creates chaos.
Our southern border is wide open and authorities predict more than 2-million illegal aliens will cross this fiscal year. President Biden has shattered illegal immigration numbers. Fentanyl, human traffickers, and even terrorists keep on crossing the border in record numbers without resistance. Those on the political right continually call for shutting the border. The LEFT says Trump is dividing America.
January 2021, the price of gasoline averaged $2.33/gallon in America. President Biden signed executive orders on his first day in office squashing America’s fossil fuel energy sector. By June of 2022 the average price of gas had soared to more than $5/gallon. This month gas prices have slowly declined to $3.93. The LEFT roars that President Biden is lowering the price of gas, and that Trump incites white supremacy violence across America.
Inflation in America stood at 1.4% in January 2021. By June 2022, inflation had ballooned to 9.1%. It has since dropped to 8.5%. President Biden declared “zero inflation” in July, the LEFT cheered Biden’s stupendous success in eliminating inflation, and chanted that Trump is destroying democracy.
Democrats in Congress passed and Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act last week that among other things increases the IRS budget by $80 Billion over the next ten years and doubles the number of employees. The LEFT says Trump’s policies helped the rich and hurt the working class.
In June the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade sending the “abortion rights” issue back to the individual states. The LEFT howled that abortion had been outlawed across America and that SCOTUS would next overturn same-sex and interracial marriage. They said Trump was sending America back to the 1950s!
The LEFT supports “gender affirming care” for children as young as six-years-old calling for surgeries and hormonal therapy to help children K-12 transition to another gender. Parents and other caregivers have legally facilitated doctors removing little girls’ breasts as well as little boys’ genitals. Last week Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga) introduced the “Protect Children’s Innocence Act” that would make hormonal or sex reassignment surgeries on a minor a Class C felony.
Many hearts in America are given fully to do evil overwhelming many others with their lawlessness. Don’t let our hearts grow cold. Trump is not the problem.

Ah, the rants of a lunatic. We really need to increase mental health funding in this country.
Too bad overturning Roe v Wade didn’t stop journalistic abortions like this. What a waste of server space to host this hot garbage.
Here we are again with the Trumpists invoking scripture in support of Donald Trump, whose character slithers only between amoral and immoral. God help us all.
No, Trump is not and never has been the problem. He may well be part of the solution to the problem.
Many people do not see a problem.
Typical response from the right wing cult. Nothing more than whataboutism.
A post on lawlessness yet no mention of January 6th?
Don't hear much of defund the police anymore from the left. But plenty of defund the FBI for doing their job the past few weeks. Death threads to the judge who signed off on the raid given probable criminal acts.
Trump alone isn't dividing America. His cult of worshippers and the GOP who do his bidding are the dividing forces.
Couldn't have said it any better myself!
1: 26 is one of DL few friends
This nut writes an entire document detailing America's problems as if it's all "the goons vs the savior Trump". Those on "the left" who continue to saddle their political enemies with Donald Trump do so for their own political advantage knowing that he is a seriously flawed character who fuels discontent. They want to win elections by beating HIM not defending their own stupid policies. He makes his own supporters like this writer look unreasoning and robotic. Everything he says and does raises the ultimate question: Is loyalty to Trump the same as loyalty to the U.S.? We all should be concerned with THAT question not, the other crap this guy writes.
Shout out to 1:26 who is doing the best they can with what they have to work with.
Bless their heart.
I don't know the man, but the article is correct.
“whose character slithers only between amoral and immoral”, yes, too bad Trump isn't a bastion of moral integrity like Joe Biden.
If you are wondering, no, I couldn't type that without laughing 😂
Of course Danny is right. As to our friend who is concerned about 1/6, there is zero chance that unarmed Trump fans thought they would walk into the capital and the Dims would then admit they stole the election. Just as they hired thugs to esculent the 2020 race riots, Dims hired thugs (and perhaps FBI) to infiltrate and esculent the 1/6 protest into something they could claim was an ‘insurrection’. Then proceeded with a show trial because a real trial would likely land some of them in jail.
1:22 PM, When have you ever seen the FBI interfere in an election? When have you ever seen a president impeached twice? When have you ever seen armed FRI raid a president's home? When have you ever seen the FBI called out to find a stolen diary?
since the first 3 comments were all by the same person, i will respond to them....argue with the factual numbers and stats. Your side is absolutely devastating this country. Argue the numbers....good luck.
seriously, how can you be behind a moron who declares inflation is zero? Do y'all even know the definition of inflation and how it is calculated? I guess coming from the same people who don't know the definition of recession, i should not be surprised. Math is math and doesn't lie.
so please....this so basic....how can you believe people who argue with basic math (same thing with gas and and the time line of increases....so full of shit....putin's fault.
neither of those should be arguable to any semi intelligent, honest person. However, please, some liberal tell me how i am wrong. I beg you.
The media is the actual problem. If they actually did their job, 90% of all this would go away or get fixed. But the media doesn’t bother with facts, research, or following up, just sensationalism. Which in the end causes the re-re kids aka you people to do things like “Jan 6th”or “peaceful protests”. I wish I could meet the minister or ministry of propaganda to give them kudos for controlling the weak minded.
8:12 When have you ever seen a president demand from his vice president, cabinet, and appointees, loyalty to himself rather than the constitution of the United States of America? Nothing that happens to this man should surprise anyone. It comes with the territory.
Gardner is the problem.
I'm not a MAGA guy but I'll take it over this demented crap show going on now. I can't think of one single thing that is better now than it was in January 2021 except COVID has dwindled. And I want to be reimbursed for the student loans I paid back years ago.
I can count seven posts by the same deranged author. The 'syndrome', now a disorder, has eaten him alive.
Trump is doing just what I expected he would do to the Republican Party, it’s imploding. With the poor slate of candidates he’s backed and the Supreme Court Abortion ruling the Democrats will probably gain seats in the senate. He has no chance of getting elected again.
Absolutely right. Trump is not THE problem. Trump is also not THE solution. When sheep like D.L. believe he is THE solution, that's when he becomes THE problem.
No evil in compromising National Security so much so that two women ( one from China and one from Russia)with fake claim of wealth easily breached Mar A Lago?
And, most of DL's examples are the stuff of Russian propaganda...Biden is getting grief and legal challenges for keeping Trump measures in place ( like retention of migrants in Mexico).
DL doesn't think the abortion extremist who believe women can't get pregnant if raped are equally evil nor the one who want to force a woman to " carry to bury"( many of whom will die or be left infertile) nor do raped children impress them. Indeed, they want fetal " citizenship" ( one hopes that would make the fetus eligible for Medicare and gun ownership). But, DL doesn't see that making places to get an abortion inaccessible makes it impossible for those instances he might believe " righteous" enough.
" .
While DL has his Bible open , he might stop trying to be so "selective" and read about Christians who are " puffed up".
But, DL would have to get to The New Testament for that and it'd have to occur to him that John wasn't the only disciple.
And, reading the history of religion and how he is using the same " interpretations" used to justify the worst evils of religion ( like The Inquisition) is something DL is afraid to do! And, there's how monarchs used religion for political gains more eloquently but with a similar style as Trump! And,they did so while raping women and creating more " bastards".
“ His cult of worshippers and the GOP who do his bidding are the dividing forces”, what a comment!!
I can't help but wonder, how anyone could be so unaware of their own predilections of ritual child sacrifice, also called abortions, that they would expose their detachment from reality by calling another group a cult.
Make no mistake, the vast majority of planks in the Democratic Party are based on the humanist religion. It is a religion, with the support, and practice of child sacrifice a requirement for good standing. Yet, Trump supporters are cultist?
The flock of humanist democrats are pastored by the Twitter mob. Any democrat that strays too far from the reservation is quickly chastised into conformity, or declared anathema, excommunicated, also known as canceling. Yet, Trump supporters are cultist?
They congregate regularly at their holy site of Facebook to receive instruction on the latest talking points. These visits are needed, lest the unwashed heathens, that don't adhere to their mindless edicts, should, with reasoning, release the cultist from the insanity that imprisons them. Yet, Trump supporters are cultist?
Communication, is key to keeping the cultist of the Democratic Party in line, and increasing the size of the flock. I have listed two previously, let us look a little further.
Their communication skills are legendary. Having controlled printed news for over 100 years, steering the narrative of national discussion. These narratives are always pushing the humanist, liberal doctrines, of hedonistic behaviors. Yet, Trump supporters are cultist?
Now, these communication skills are finely honed with the use of 24/7 news channels, thundering out the propaganda doctrines of the Democratic Party platform. Demonizing all that dare oppose the edicts, and pronouncements. Yet, Trump supporters are cultist?
I always get a laugh when people show their ignorance of the Bible, in print, on a comment board, while trying to chastise someone else. Ain't that right, 11:47?
One question for the never Trumpers, list the accomplishments of the Biden administration? I'll hang up and listen.
Some of these liberal comments sure make me want to support crazy Trump even more. The left is truly mentally ill. Maybe we do need some more MAGA in 24!
4:17 I'll list some of Biden's accomplishments.
Biden tripled the price of gasoline.
Biden quadrupled the rate of inflation.
Biden increased the price of groceries almost 50%.
Biden has waged economic war of the poor, the aged, and the working class of America.
Biden left billions of dollars worth of arms in Afghanistan for terrorist to either use or to sell to our enemies.
Biden has done many things. That is just a start of Biden's accomplishments.
Don’t forget Biden’s worst accomplishment of opening the border causing thousands of children to be raped, kidnapped and sold into sex slavery possibly for the rest of their lives! In addition to opening the borders to the fentanyl trade causing thousand deaths with thousands more to come. Let’s go Brandon! If you’re still a Democrat after his demonstration of what the party stands for, you’re an idiot and beyond help.
Meanwhile, the grift goes on. A few days ago, I received two solicitations - one for ''Official Donald J. Trump Fine Point Markers'' just like those the great man used in the White House. Only $18. The second offered an ''Official 2022 ULTRA MAGA MEMBER'' decal for $45. I haven't been so excited since receiving my very own glow-in-the-dark Flash Gordon magic decoder ring when I was 8.
The blind loyalty to an abused dementia riddled elderly man or a loud used car salesman is problematic.
We no longer select leaders for a skill set they posses.
Most people vote vindictively, in an attempt to stick to the other side.
Its working out well for the leaders. F
or us peasants, not so much. But it wont change in my lifetime. The MSM media machine has found the magic formula to keep us screaming at each other while the leaders on both sides live like kings.

I’m ready to see the orange man in an orange jumpsuit with no makeup or hair dye. I can’t imagine what the man looks like without the gallons of spray tan and foundation, enough to make a drag queen blush. Lock his treasonous butt up!
Once the KFC grease covered thumbprints are taken, I expect Donnie may finally come to the realization that laws apply to him too. It will be a tough lesson to learn, but it’s one he should have learned decades ago.
