I don’t understand how itis that no one remembers that Obama and Janet Napolitano removed the word, “terrorism” from the lexicon and added the stipulation that an action can only be considered to be terrorism if the person has some connection to foreign country. This rule was why US Antifa separated from the European Antifa.

We had two members of Antifa convicted of domestic terrorism in federal court Seattle for attempting to derail oil trains. The federal prosecutor quit the week after the conviction and the FBI took over the sentencing. Antifa has been much less active in the Pacific NW this year. We had much fewer fires, train wrecks or pipeline issues.

Only if you don’t support the leftist agenda to the letter.

I think that most of the students aren’t even Catholic, but the quality of education is excellent.

To be fair, I don’t think the Pope is Catholic…

The Pope is a Jesuit Catholic, a Catholic Liberationist, a communist. The Cardinals all knew this when they nominated him. It was what they wanted.

About 15 years ago, when my husband had open heart surgery at a local Catholic hospital, a nun came and sat with me during the surgery. She told me that the problem with the Catholic Church was that the priests no longer pray. She said that the church had become a business and all the priests do is run the business and play golf.

That reminded me of my husband’s grandfather, who converted to Catholicism when he got married and got a job with a candle company. He sold candles and had only one customer, the Arch Diocese of Philadelphia. He never worked, all he ever did was play golf with the priests, right through the depression and his whole life, really.

It doesn’t help that most police don’t know the constitution or the law.

I’m from just outside Philly, so golfing isn’t the worst thing out of them.

Stick a fork in what used to be the good ole USA.

We are DONE!

Only with the miracle of a Trump second term, along with control of both houses of Congress is there even a CHANCE for this nation.

Likely not to happen.

While I have believed in (or just wanted it to be true) pre-tribulation rapture, current events make me begin to doubt that.

A mid-tribulation or more likely post-tribulation seems to be upon us RIGHT NOW!

I was hoping to avoid the tribulation with the coming of Christ. Now it looks like the only way that I will avoid at least some of the tribulation is by going to Him. (because of my age)

Just when you think it cannot get much worse -- with lawlessness overtaking our cities, our southern border being overrun, and the president of United States declaring half of voting age Americans “a threat to the very soul of this country”-- unsettling bricks are being added to the wall of an emerging police state in America.

Something wicked this way comes ...

We now learn that the Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security has officially categorized Trump supporters -- the so-called members of MAGA -- as “domestic terrorists.” Additionally, the FBI has formed a secret task force that appears nonpartisan, but actually operates in unprecedented ways that depart from prior focus on cells, anarchist, militia and violence-prone groups, and now focus on people who may be peaceful but identify with anti-government and anti-authority thinking. FBI sources acknowledge that these new categories and task force have been created to target MAGA and Trump supporters.

Biden's secret police are getting bolder...

Reason why we need to stay ever vigilant for the oncoming storm approaching. Most importantly staying close to GOD as we are going to be in for a rough ride. Maranatha!!!

The enemy of the state isn’t MAGA/Trump supporters it’s the bogus state itself using the states name liberty is on the gallows.

Dumbass question...
Have to look in the historical rear-view mirror to actually see the “crossroad”...

Only thing relevant to “how we extract ourselves from this self-made/assisted tyranny” is to plan ahead and prepare...

There are absolutely no civilized solutions to removing the chains of Marxist tyranny...
