The Eight Beatitudes

Matthew 5:3-12	Orlando Gibbons, 1583-1625
1. Blessed the poor in spirit, they are heirs To wealth untold, for heaven itself is theirs.	2. Blessed the meek, for without strife their hand Shall be victorious, and possess the land.
3. Blessed are they that mourn, for God one day Will comfort them, and wipe their tears away.	4. Blessed who hunger and who thirst, unskilled in wiles, for justice, for they shall be filled.
5. Blessed the merciful, for they’ll obtain The mercy which they grant their fellowmen.	6. Blessed the clean of heart, for they shall see The Lord in all his cloudless purity.
7. Blessed are the peace-makers kind and mild Children of God they shall be justly styled.	8. Blessed are they that suffer in the right, For heaven’s kingdom shall their cares requite.

Parallels between DJT and JFK are strong. JFK was pulling the U.S. out of Viet Nam. He was moving to suppress the effort to build a bomb in the Negev Desert at Dimona after the French had supported nuclear proliferation. Many strong forces were out to get him. JFK came back to his religion a few weeks before the end.

But there is the dark side where JFK was assassinated and the left today are at their wits end. Their “Long Game” just became longer and this is the closest they have come to power. There might be someone, like Soros, who will do something drastic out of desperation, a final Plan B. Biden already liken Trump to Abe Lincoln in the debates so I don’t know if that was a tip of their hand — like Hillary mentioning the assassination of JFK to head fake Obama — or if there is something afoot to violently remove him.
