    dispensationalists don’t really believe that Jesus is reigning now as King of Kings and Lord of Lords

    And you believe He is? That He is giving orders on paper to Biden and Putin and telling them what to do and when?

    Yeah, that is what a King does when he is ruling on the Earth.

    If you do believe that, I have a Bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell ya.

    If you try to tell me this is the Kingdom of God right now, with Sin running rampant, send me a million dollars.

    See, you have to run a con job to get us to believe this crud is it.

    I struggle with the fact that this country elected Biden. The man who plunged this nation into degridation and even more this day. Who keeps the borders down no matter who it hurts. And can't tell a straight story.

    He says he took the train across the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore. Well, it never had tracks or trains. Seems, Joe is off the railings again.

    Trump has a campaign strategy to defeat Biden. Just quote Biden, Biden defeats himself. And just quote the fawning press for Biden, they defeat themselves.

    And never fold, like the RINOs.

    For women, with more than three-quarters agreeing, identifying as a “MAGA Republican” was the top red flag.

    If so, they aren't the right type of women for a MAGA Man. The results is endless heartaches.

    Just as with a Trump woman with a Biden man.

    ..."what they don’t mention is that blue"

    states and cities are rapidly imploding. And with each new wind and wave of leftist/Marxist doctrine, they implode faster.

    And God help us that they don't suck us in with them.

    ? Grant us True repentance in Jesus name. Please, I implore you with a broken heart for this wayward harlot of a nation. Please let her turn from her filthy bloody abortion bed now added by the blood of her Transgendered Children now suiciding. Please cause her to weep uncontrollably till she falls at the foot of your Cross, lays down her filthy rags of Social Justice and all other manners of Self-Righteousness and asks You, God, to save her for Jesus sake". Please give her a total turn away from it, an all form of repentance, please. For to you my Faithful Savior Forever I pray this in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    We Escaped our State of Liberalism (now Progressivism) Maryland in 1998 as about that time our Liberal Montgomery Count banned Santa Clause.

    It's wasn't by far, the only reason we left.

    The county Public schools were also infested with Liberalism. When asked what the county was going to do for the third year in a row about our son not being able to read after the 8th grade? And after getting some the same old answers "Remedial Reading" and "After School and Summer School attention". I finally asked, "Will he be held back after 12th grade for not being able to read?". They said "We have a NO FAIL POLICY". Well how about just holding him back this year? "We have a NO FAIL POLICY". And for the girls, we were subtly getting more assignments arguing for abortion under the rubric of "Choice" each year.

    And, the TAXES! Montgomery County had a county INCOME TAX Rate of 55% of State. State at that time was 6% so the County INCOME TAX RATE WAS 3.3% (IE: 9.3% for Maryland!!). On top of that was a very high PROPERTY TAX RATE. And, Oh, I won't mention the states NIMBY policy of not building new Electric Plants and suppressing rate increases had finally BACKFIRED; Electricity Bills were skyrocketing.

    We were finally fed up with the D.C. Areas constantly increasing Liberal Infestation and support for every Liberal Cause. So we asked God to move us out of the D.C. Area, anywhere else, and He moved us to this blessed rural area in the state of Georgia.

    Today, if we were still there it would be GENDER MUTILIZATION/Transgenderism being fostered and abedded by the Public School upon the students. Let alone the transportation of teenage girls to Abortion Clinics (all without parental notification of course) probably continuing since those days.

    Yeah, we escaped big time. And we thank God more and more each year!

    No County Income Taxes: A raise of 3.3%

    Property taxes were 1/2 for the same value, another raise of 1% (Homestead Exemption here in Georgia). So a 4.3% raise just for moving!

    There is a lot more and more coming here in Georgia.

    Flee these Progressive Democratic Hellhole States and Cities, Y'all.

    Tennessee has 0% INCOME TAXES. South Carolina is good too.

    But Please! Leave your Progressive/Liberalism behind. We are God and Family here in the South, Y'ALL.

    See my post on the Water Heater: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4202162/posts

    Note: I live in a new community, therefore the system is not old and have caught it before much damage is done.

    With older systems, much less would be realized, just as with the water heaters. See link attached.

    1) It's dirt and friction from dirt. And dirt, especially micro particles that the normal filtration unit does not catch, gets into everything.

    Dirt can be tobacco smoke and the like, which is like tar, even worse as it clogs up the A/C fins above the furnace. And even after professional cleaning builds up to the point where professional cleaning just cannot help.

    A HEPA filter can get rid of much dirt except for it reduces air flow and does not get rid of the micro particles.

    Whereas a Powered Filter, unlike the HEPA filter actually allows greater air flow than typical pleated ones, does catch the micro particles onto the pads, which are then thrown away.

    2) Not only this, but the Powered filter reduces the humidity. And as you know, humid air takes much more energy to heat/cool. 

    So, better air flow, lowered humidity means the furnace A/C system is not coming on as often as it normally would.

    3) As for a Wi-Fi Thermostat, like the Nest 3rd generation builds up the heat/cooling slowly and not all at once as most do. And is the most efficient as you know. Not only this but the Wi-Fi accesses the weather stations, particularly the outdoor humidity and wind. So, the thermostat knows what it will be facing as no house is sealed ultimately. High wind, high outdoor humidity will need a greater attack initially. Then after the initial humidity is reduced a more efficient profile can be used.

    4) Synergistic effect: The lowered humidity, lowered micro dirt tar, and increased flow of around 30% means increased efficiency and less wear. Then the smart 3rd Generation thermostat takes it to the next level.

    And just so you know I'm not whistling dixie. We felt the difference with the Powered filter immediately.

    Our skin cleaned up and congestion was much reduced as we are older.

    We heard the difference as the intake vents started to sing and had to be adjusted. Our furnace used to rattle after being on for over 8 minutes. We noted that with the 3rd Generation thermostat we almost never hear that rattle.

    We see the difference with the numbers of hours used. And less hours used= less wear and tear.

    And yes, I anticipated the push back. And I appreciate it.

    Far worse is coming on the heels of this.

    Pull your kids out of public schools and begin Home or Private schooling ASAP. Kids are being asked to change their sexuality in the schools and bussed from schools to therapy/surgeries.

    Many parents find out the day of surgery, when Johnny, now Julie has no testicles or Jennie, now Jody has no breasts and both are bleeding and/or in pain.

    A very high percentage of kids that go with the sex change will commit suicide once they find out it is not the panacea they expected but a lifetime of heartache and pains.

    The incident happened in Minneapolis. If it had happened in, say the small town of St. Cloud, and they pushed it to Minneapolis to obviously help the prosecution, then I believe he would have an argument.

    True, he was maligned by the city, but that needs to be brought forward by his defense. To get it out of Minneapolis would take something like the Judges in Minneapolis to say he was guilty before each trial date.

    That's the problem with these Democrat cities, the potential recruits listen to the maligning and correctly look elsewhere. As they know they will not get a fair shake in those cities.

    Minneapolis has become Detroit, only criminals and drug fiends will be left.

    What all large Democrat cities will be shortly. The Marxists are killing them in hopes we will not push back so America will succumb to Marxist Communism or the equivalent.

    How do we push back effectively?
