I've never seen so much depression or defeatist here before. That being said I feel I need to share a poem I wrote a while back. A Winter poem by David L. Miller Oh on these cold winter days how we wish for warmth while icily embedded in ourselves. Chin lift up, eyes look around. Look at the folk who cheerily endeavor not thinking about themselves. They move and work on as on any other day. See the children! Whether yours or not, happily and smiling they go about their play. Spy the lovers! Nothing creeps into or disturbs their warm embraces. Eye the sky Whether cloudy or clear! It's a wonderful, magical and miraculous thing. Hear the cheer emanating from the party next door! Share in the pleasure that not all people are at war. So shed your cool introspective, get up and get out! Make the miracle of a smile happen or create for someone a laugh. Help someone directly or indirectly, it matters not how! Charity is a giving, sharing a blessed circle. And then go sit back down. Chin up this time and feel the warmth of a life worth living.

This is all part of God’s plan to bring this world era to an end to bring in the Messiah.

I did tell you guys four years ago that Trump’s function was not to be our Saviour, because he couldn’t stop what was in play. His role was to buy us time to prepare for the end. Get out of debt, stock up on food and durable clothing for all your locale seasons and have alternate plans for your children in the event the government turns on you.

That’s the role of Trump. My only regret was that he couldn’t give us those four more years to prepare.

Sure about that last part?

Besides, such things are not any man’s to give.

Its defeatism because we have been DEFEATED.

Nice Poem.

I'll try to be upbeat even though it's hard to feel it. Early in WW2 the Germans were rolling over all opposition like it was nothing. The managed to trap the entire English army on the beach at Dunkirk in France with no hope of evacuation. IT appeared the war was lost and many, maybe most, politicians in Britain were prepared to surrender. But Churchill refused. He was considered delusional by many but he felt the fight had to continue. If the Navy couldn't rescue the troops than the citizens would, he decided. And so small private boat owners were called on to sail across the channel and ferry back British soldiers, as many as they could carry safely. Miraculously they managed to pull it off and the English army was saved.

I'll try to keep Dunkirk and Churchill's steadfast refusal to surrender in mind.

They are things that individual men have to claim for themselves. The author is suggesting that we do just that.

[Jonty30]

I don’t know if Trump can succeed in overturning election results. I would be very happy if he did, because that would give us more time to prepare.

[right way right]

Are you dead?

Thanks!

Satan is definitely on the March.

My main source of joy right now?
When the conditions in society, economy and personal liberty have become so awful, so constricting and “North-Korea” like, that my die-hard straight ticket Dem relatives in Detroit will call me up and say

“You know something Lee, you were right all along. The crazy things you used to say about our Government some 10 years ago. It’s all coming true! How did you ever know this would happen?”

My father, God bless the US military, survived the concentration camp. We will get over this.

We are not defeated. We are still here. They are the ones who can’t keep their corrupt system together without paste and duct tape. Did you see a mere suggestion from Joe Manchin that he wouldn’t support $2,000 caused the stock market to drop and he was forced to “clarify”? Their system (and it is THEIR system) is close to collapse. Steel yourself for the Dark winter ahead!!

Satan is definitely on the March.

He had the entire 20th century, what makes you think the 21st will be any different?

Impeachment article is not cheering be up. Pelosi is such a witch.

[Jonty30]

From what I understand of Scripture, one of the conditions that must exist is absolute worldwide control of evil. That’s where worldwide fascism comes in.

Since God has told us that this must take place before the end, this is how I’m reading the situation. Trump would not have been able to stop this, but he did his part interrupting to to allow those who are aware to prepare.
