Extended family reports from the holiday gatherings, including one who works in the upper levels of the federal government. All reported the feeling of suffocating oppression has been lifted. Also reporting even Democrats had come to hate what had become the all too pervasive cancel-culture.
Now they feel free to just get their work done, without the side-line distractions previously required to accommodate any and all perceived slights - intentional, inadvertent, imagined historic and/or present. Fweedom. MALGA - Make America Less Grouchy Again.
And so we look forward to the New Year, with the new administration and the Dream Team of highly competent people surrounding Trump. The malaise and fear that has gripped the nation for the past four years is lifting. Now, if only this pesky business of immanent World War Three can be settled it is onward to greatness and prosperity.
Mr. Fish, the malaise and fear just started on November 5th. Dream team and highly competent people surrounding trump, I wish we all had such hopes. I’m sorry but some of them seem incompetent and nightmarish. So everyone keep good thoughts.
Julia Gonzales I'm not a Mr and I completely disagree with you. I see the hope for the future in the coming administration, and encourage you not to bring your negative pessimism to this forum.
Ms. Fish, I apologize, I tried looking at your icon, and all I saw was some sort of mask and I guessed wrong. As for the negative pessimism I see people expressing that here all the time. Was I mistaken that this site supports the first amendment? Isn’t this an open forum for all opinions?
Julia: When a country founded on the proposition that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, was about to perish in a sea of swill perpetrated by an evil presence, sometimes the Creator just has to step in. Everything had to go perfectly to reincarnate the image and persona of the former president; perhaps divine intervention was what tipped the scale. Just saying...
Mr. Livingston, yes, God is infinite. He gave man free will, and as you see, he did not give all of them wisdom, good judgment, compassion or humanity, but then again, it comes down to free will. Also, if God stepped in when he saw evil, there never would’ve been a first President trump or wars anywhere. JS
Re-electing DJT is like Christmas morning when you are 8yrs old and there is a Red Rider BB gun under the tree for you from Santa !
Just in the nick of time America woke up and realized a decisive battle was at hand, and we were at the 11th hour. The world is at war in the Middle East and I believe Trump will stop WW111
While in Italy 20 years ago my wife and I were visiting a small and remote church. On the ground in front of the church were hundreds of bricks with names of people. I stumbled across one brick that had inscribed “Donald Trump”. A very elderly Italian man approached me noticing I was looking at the Trump brick. The man said to me, “He will be our savior.” I thought that statement was so odd, but only after Trump was re-elected and with all the backlash did I realize the reality of what the elderly Italian man claimed.
When: The total lunar eclipse will occur on March 13–14, 2025.
Where: The full phase of the eclipse will be visible across the United States, and at least part of it will be visible in Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, and much of Africa.
How it happens: A blood moon occurs when the Earth, Moon, and Sun align so that the Moon passes into Earth's shadow. The Moon appears red because some reddish sunlight still reaches the Moon's surface.
Wonderful, Jim. You are probably aware that millions of Christians were praying for Trump throughout the campaign.
I'm not a Christian - I don't claim to be anything, but I believe in a higher power. Since I was eighteen and heard Swami Prabhavananda speak at the Montecito Vedanta temple, that religion and Ramakrishna has always moved me. The day I went, Prabhavananda spoke to an SRO audience about how we must save ourselves first in order to save anyone else.
I believe, like Vedanta, in a unity of religions and that the higher power has spoken through many people of many religions. Otherwise, why did we have the Age of Sages (to quote the title of a wonderful book you all should read on the Axial Age)?
I knew this was not just an election but a spiritual war. I talked to a friend who is a Charismatic Christian (she speaks in tongues) and she told me about the mass praying that had been going on well before the assassination attempt. I asked if I, as a non-Christian, could join in. She said “Of course. We'd love to have you. Just wherever you are, pray for Trump.”
I joined in. So did other friends of mine who were also not Christians.
Was this mass praying behind the miracles you list? I believe so.
We must save ourselves in order to save anyone else, Swami Prabhavananda said that day 53 years ago. I believe Trump knew this. He turned just at the moment he was going to otherwise die. He saved himself so he could save our world.
Couldn't find any Christmas music as funky as the Pogues so I thought I'd send along one of my little ditties: You gotta play it L-O-U-D ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixQFjy6crAU
Interesting to see the one person that benefits the most from all defense contracts sitting at the table. Sure Space X is only in the top 50 of companies we spend defense money on - but since he owns 50% of it he's getting the lion's share of that pie.
I'm guessing you missed my entire point Steve. If the CEO of Lockheed was sitting at the fake Thanksgiving table (that no way would Melania be at...) that wouldn't be a problem for you?
Christ called on us to be as harmless as doves, but wise as serpents. While we all can breath a sigh of relief that the tyrannical Biden administration has been firmly rebuked, we need to be very cautious in our optimism and directed in our prayers.
Trump took $100 million from Miriam Adelson, a woman who is championing the genocide and expansion of Israel into "greater Israel." After taking a similar level of Adelson money for his first bid, Trump provocatively moved the US embassy to Jerusalem (demonstrating no will behind the US claim for a two state solution), recognized the theft of the Golan Heights from Syria by Israel (despite the post WWII order claiming that territory cannot be taken by force), vaporized Iranian official, Gen. Soleimani, (breaking precedent for restraint that the US has shown since the killing of Admiral Yamamoto during WWII), and pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal and ended US participation in the INF treaty.
Since he is, once again, indebted to the Israel First movement, what will he do this time? Stop the siege and slaughter in Gaza? Or mimic the Biden policy of enabling the siege and invasion that is turning the largest concentration camp in history into a death camp? He did tell Netanyahu to "finish the job" after Oct. 7. Did Trump mean the ethnic cleansing job that Netanyahu clearly signaled at the UN two weeks prior to Oct. 7? Does Trump know that Israeli agents planted false atrocity stories about Oct 7 in US media outlets, including the New York Times? And that much of the killing on Oct. 7 was done by the Israeli military under the Hannibal Directive? Or will he pull back US resources from other conflicts to give the Neocons the leveling of Iran that they have been pushing for decades, risking nuclear conflict and global economic collapse?
While Trump claims to represent the movement for free speech, he is calling for repression of those who are "anti-Semitic", but according to a recent US law which he did not criticize, that includes people who criticize Israel. Is this what a man who fears God and loves American protection of rights would do? Or is this deal making with our most fundamental rights to make good on the favors he owes? https://catholic460.substack.com/p/global-attack-on-freedom-of-religion
We do need to pray and pray. And we also need to make sure we are praying to God and not Satan or Moloch. If we are Christian, we need to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. The creator of the entire universe does not need us to defy His commandments against murder, theft and coveting to bring about His return. That is not what He told us to do. But Christianity has been marred by various worldly movements from Humanism, The Enlightenment, Protestantism, modernism, and the Christian Zionism heresy brought about by the Scofield Bible psyop to get God fearing Christians to be manipulated into serving evil rather than giving Glory to God with our lives. Be wise as serpents. Christ said those who follow Him are the New Israel. https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/against-catholic-zionism
As those that exchange ideas with me on this site already know, I am pitching the idea that the Catholic understanding of The Bible is the most sane and consistent with Christ's teaching. It is also the belief system that is the shared moral foundation of The West. The West is in danger. Our democracy in the US seems reduced to our team of oligarchs vs. theirs.
Is Musk, who is creating the 5-G network that will be used for a surveillance control grid along with the electric cars that can be remotely disabled, really on the side of freedom, or part of some other plan for the us? He dreams of traveling to Mars. I dream of ending drug, porn and gambling addiction, restoring healthy families, ending abortion, ending all wars, respecting all because we see God in every human being not b/c we went to some biased, anti-Christian, discriminatory mandated DEI training, ending usury, and exposing technology worship as the bowing to false idols that it is by making The West Catholic again. Musk has stood up to cancel culture and the likes of George Soros. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for that. Twitter/x is better, but still willing to practice suppression of reach of ideas deemed lesser. That is not quite the free market place of ideas where even hateful speech can be met with the response of speech that exposes it for the moral failing that it is. And if hate is still in the eye of the criminal ADL, then that is another part of the problem we still face.
I don't know Donald Trump, but I honestly believe he does want to make America great again. Unfortunately, he does not have the vision and staff to make it happen. Which further indicates to me that we cannot make America great again until we make The West Catholic again. Meanwhile, the better we do at living up to Catholic values and Catholic teaching, the better chance we have of supporting policies that will improve America and avoiding those that will lead to our destruction.
We will simply see how it all evolves and then we can comment. Speculation is just that, speculation which is fine, but time tells the truth. I'm willing to wait for the truth because I believe Trump will do his best for all.
Certainly we cannot see the future, but it is our duty to not fall into emotional thinking that can cloud our reason and good judgement. Maybe a miracle saved Trump, maybe he was just very lucky, or maybe it was staged. Can we know for sure? Maybe he will live up to his promise to end wars and make peace, but maybe he will focus only on serving his donors. I do think he was wrongly attacked with slander, lawfare and physical threats, but those attacks weakened him and perhaps made him more dependent on donors despite his bragging in 2016 that he didn't have to sell out and take donor money. But whatever the case, we have the best chance of helping by keeping clear eyed and principled as we move ahead. Beware of false flag attacks like Oct 7 or 9/11 of COVID that were not what they were claimed to be and used to justify curtailing our rights to privacy, speech, freedom of movement, bodily integrity, religious freedom and so forth. Each of us are small and we can't do much, but the first step to being part of improving our community and our country is to make sure we are thinking critically and speaking and acting morally. If enough of us do it at least this, they won't be able to con us so easily into the next war or psyop.
I’m sorry, Mr. Buckley, but I don’t think you know what miracles really are. trumps rise to president-elect is pure, unadulterated, stupid blind luck, and the Democrats not reading the room. Have you heard of the “Teflon Don”, in case you haven’t that was racketeerJohn Gotti‘s nickname. The law or the FBI couldn’t get any charges to stick about his criminal activities. Gotti’s downfall was the IRS and trump will eventually meet his Waterloo, too. Before justice catches up with trump, I hope he has been successful in uniting the country, and making it prosperous with everyone enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Ms. Renga, like I said, the Democrats didn’t read the room, which was very lucky for the maga’s. You are right the majority always wins, that has not changed, not even in the 2020 election. Majority won. I’m not disgruntled, just very disappointed.
You are right on. I am also very happy that Mr. Trump won, I want us to not lose focus on the fact that he is not perfect like the rest of us. Only God can save us.
I do believe that God allowed this miracle to happen so let’s make the most of this opportunity!
Al Micheals famously said in the 1980 Olympics, when the US Hockey Team defeated the heavily favored Russian Team, “Do you believe in miracles…yes!” Yes, miracles do happen and I am of the opinion that one happened a few weeks ago with the election of Donald Trump as our 47th president. Time will tell as to the extent of this miracle, but suffice to say, things are heading in the right direction. The border, energy independence, foreign policy all seem to be areas where foreign leaders are coming to the table. The radical left remains defiant and toxic as ever, but for the time being, they are licking their wounds and blaming each other’s incompetence. Having just been sucker punched by Trump and MAGA, the left is trying to shake it off, but still very disoriented. The time is fast approaching for a renaissance in this country of ideas, technology and once again, being the leader of the world.

Praise the Lord! Miracles do happen and this one came just in time for our nation
Mr. Macisaac, Sorry, but the Lord doesn’t get into politics, and I’m sure this doesn’t fall under God’s meaning of miracles.
Julia: When a country founded on the proposition that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, was about to perish in a sea of swill perpetrated by an evil presence, sometimes the Creator just has to step in.

You did it! each individual’s ‘prayers’ direct their conscienceness to a desired outcome…more people = more power! Pray for Team Trump!
You such a smart lady.

Roy Head was great. I love Rockabilly.
Very enlightening Polly.
It can’t come any sooner, we need his position of strength to reduce the chaos of war.
Another miracle was bringing both Musk and Kennedy inside the tent.
Amen
By the Grace of the LORD God, our nation has been gifted with a strong opening to turn back into His grace. May our nation do so!
