Ever since I saw that photo (of wretched, starving people being electronically scanned in order to purchase meager food supplies) some months ago, I am convinced we are very close to the end. The mark of the beast has never loomed more likely and more possible than it does right now. Never before in human history have we been on this threshold.

So I guess now we’ll be taking in Venezuelan refugees.

The first wave of Cuban refugees from communism brought us a lot of productive members of society. Cuban refugees weren't a problem until Fidel emptied his prisons and Jimmy Carter took the bait.

So we might actually be able to skim the cream. Although with Barry and JFK in charge, there is a lot that could go wrong.

Now, there's nothing wrong with that; in fact, it's a good idea in general, but only as long as you actually, well, have the money to spend. And by 2005 or so, Venezuela didn't.

So it's good until you run out of other people's money? Fascio-Socialists are idiots. And that universally applies regardless of whether you are running Venezuela into the ground or writing for the Washington Post.

Seems as though the Tribulation period and the Great Tribulation may not be too far off.

All the talk of dividing Israel for ‘peace and security’, the fact that the MoTB could be done rather easily and we can see Ezekiel 38 looming large on the horizon for sure.

Just wow. But, it was prophesied by the Lord and His prophets. So we know it will come to pass exactly as written.

The cream is already here, it’s called out of work Americans. I understand your point, and I wish we could help and take in everyone who is trying to flee oppression and would love the chance to come and live and WORK in America. But we just can’t. Charity starts at home.

Yep...are you watching Bernie? Better yet, are Bernie’s followers watching? The answer is probably NO!

They'll just say that the US and the CIA sabotaged the Venezuelan economy.


Being a Communist means never admitting that you're wrong.
