Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned, Especially… :: By Geri Ungurean

… especially a lesbian in a conservative family.

The Leftist media is having a field day. Not only has President Trump’s niece written a venomous book filled with lies about our president, but now she allegedly secretly taped 15 hours of venom from her aunt, MaryAnn Trump Barry, Trump’s elder sister.

I doubt very seriously if this was secretly recorded. 15 hours? I think that we can safely assume that the two collaborated on this smear.

From Advocate.com  <Mary Trump’s interview on growing up gay in the Trump family, which she describes as ‘anti-everything’

Anti-Everything, Mary?  I think not. Just basic Conservative views, which obviously you held in disdain. Did you actually think that your family would be overjoyed at your lifestyle?

Please read the disclosure statement by the Advocate.com:

“Editor’s note: a previous version of this article mistakenly said that Mary’s “father has had a devastating effect on friends and families.” It has since been corrected to her “uncle.” [Donald Trump]

Corrected or CHANGED? I think we know the answer to this. A change in the MAIN character Mary attempts to disparage would be very suspicious. But to change the narrative, her father MUST be swapped with her uncle, President Donald Trump.

Is Donald Trump Without Fault?

Are any of us?  Some of us have more sin in their past than others. But Sin is Sin.

What did the nation think of Bill Clinton’s sexual relationship in the White House Oval Office with Lewinsky? What about JFK (who, by the way, I did like) and his insatiable sexual appetite, which his Secret Service agents spoke of years after his death? They were asked to drop him at hotels many times a week so that he could sleep with yet another of his paramours – many of them prostitutes.

I believe that Mary Trump’s motives are driven by rage for two reasons. Her lifestyle went directly against the Trump family values and there was a dispute about the money when the grandfather Fred Trump died. Mary and her brother felt betrayed.

There is nothing more telling about a family than when a ‘will’ is read after the death of a parent or grandparent. I have witnessed this firsthand, and it can be very ugly.

And now, precisely at the opportune time, Mary Trump gets her Aunt, Mary Ann Trump Barry, involved by secretly recording 15 hours of Trump’s sister allegedly speaking ill of her brother.

I am only surmising here, but something tells me that perhaps Soros sweetened the pot for both of these women. Soros is always there, isn’t he? Rather like “Where’s Waldo?” It may be difficult to spot him – but he is there.

Mary Trump Abusing Psychology to Abuse Her Uncle

Hidden Messages

Before you open this book or turn a page, look at the cover. What do we see?  A handsome, young Donald Trump in dashing cadet uniform, during one of the finest periods of his life.  In his five years at New York Military Academy, he reaped undiluted acclaim from faculty and classmates — a model student in behavior and academics, popular with classmates, a star athlete elected to the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame, garnering offers from Major League Baseball. For a book entitled Too Much and Not Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man, what is the meaning of this charming cover? Is it Simon & Schuster’s unconscious peeking through Mary Trump’s agonized victimization? Do they know something she is disinclined to acknowledge?

Turning to the book’s pages conjures another challenging image, a lexical one: Tolstoy’s opening line of Anna Karenina — “All happy families are alike, unhappy families are unhappy each in their own ways.”  The story of the first proposition is yet to be written, since conflict — unhappiness — is inherent to life.  Some families have more conflict, some less, but it is inescapable.  Any family in COVID-19 lockdown will readily testify to this truism.

A Psychopathology of Everyday Life

Mary Trump turns all Trump family conflict into prima facie psychopathology.  Relying as she does on fantastical speculation for thin formulations about the childhood experience of Fred Sr. and Mary Anne Trump’s complicated family of seven (decades before Mary Trump was born) further muddies her questionable psychological lens. Equally startling is the biased degree to which she views her deceased father, Fred Jr. — perpetrator of domestic wife abuse leading to divorce, repeated abject employment failures, and an ugly history of debilitating alcoholism that contributed to his early death — as the only “self-made” hero of the family. Even if one accepted her dubious psychological judgments, which I do not, her objectivity defies credulity.

Sibling Rivalry beyond the Grave

The “anti-hero” Donald is everywhere depicted as a mere puppet of Fred Sr., in Mary’s view, coasting on Fred Sr.’s string-pulling and money, even years after his death (1999). Business facts like the testimony of Barbara Res, engineer on the Hyatt Hotel construction and chief construction manager in the building of Trump Tower, are never broached. Res reveled in Donald’s unique creative capacity to change and uplift Manhattan neighborhoods and to defy convention, and described Sr. as an irrelevant nuisance, out of his league in Manhattan, tolerated and indulgently managed by Donald.

Mary’s incessant, ridiculing downgrading of Donald’s business successes is the dutiful love of a daughter for a deceased father — she seeks a victory for Fred Jr. in the fierce sibling rivalry with younger brother Donald that ever eluded Fred Jr. in life. Donald moved into the limelight of Fred Sr.’s favor that Fred Jr. angrily abandoned and repeatedly failed to win back. This battle protects her from disappointment and anger toward a father who failed her miserably, as she herself carefully documents. Donald, along with his entire family, is a lightning rod for raging emotions. This book could rightly be dedicated “For Dad.”

Blindness toward One’s Own

Given Mary Trump’s penchant for psychological diagnoses (Fred Sr. and Donald are both “narcissistic” and “sociopaths”), that clinical lens is absent toward her parents. “Dad had clearly shared in the wealth early in his life, but he had had nothing left to show for it by the time he was thirty. I have no idea what happened to his money.” At age two and a half, Mary watched in horror as her taunting father threatened to kill her sobbing mother with the rifle he was leveling at her. Despite her mother’s phobia, he brought home a pet boa constrictor and kept it in the apartment. “Domestic abuse” is absent from Mary’s consideration. Or how about the concept of “enabler” for her mother?

Fred Jr. was a deteriorating, recalcitrant alcoholic (his recurrent treatments paid for by Fred Sr.): “My father was still in the hospital [lobar pneumonia] on … their fifth wedding anniversary. Undeterred by his poor health and worsening alcoholism, my mother sneaked a bottle of champagne and a couple of glasses into his room. Regardless of what was happening around them or what state her husband was in, they were determined to celebrate.” Celebrate!

Mary projects all the pain and disappointment from her family into the Trump family. They are demonized with tortured, specious speculations about absence of love and isolation from the world of human contact. Fred Sr. is painted as the family architect of evil, a sociopathic narcissist; and Donald, his creation, is likewise a mentally disturbed narcissist.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Since Donald J. Trump is our president, let me categorically reject the assertion that President Trump suffers a narcissistic personality disorder or is mentally disturbed. Other psychiatrists are in agreement (Begley, 2017).  In fact, the very author of psychiatry’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) section on narcissistic personality disorders, Allen Frances, M.D., stated that Trump does not demonstrate such a disorder and, even further, concluded that Trump is not mentally ill (Frances, 2017).  Professor Frances is unequivocal: “Trump doesn’t meet DSM criteria [for any mental disorder][.] … I wrote the criteria and should know how they are meant to be applied: Personality disorder requires the presence of clinically significant distress/and or impairment” (Begley, 2017).

Ingratitude and Entitlement

Although Mary Trump spent years attending family functions, playing at the Trump “house” as a young child; was sent to private boarding schools and high-end summer camps; and was included in endless special family celebrations dinners, there is rarely a hint of gratitude, pleasure, or enjoyment. These occasions have become her bêtes noires, choice opportunities to demonstrate Trump family dysfunction and personal slights. Yet she continued to participate as a teenager and young adult, when, if she was so displeased, she could have stopped. Repeatedly she complains of not receiving the financial bounty of the Trumps. She even bemoaned the absence of her father’s Jaguar, Mustang, fishing boats, and airplanes. For a woman purportedly writing a book devoid of financial considerations, she has penned a book riddled with them.

When she was a young adult, fresh from college, her uncle Donald offered Mary a job writing a book for him — The Art of the Comeback. He provided her with an office in Trump Tower and names of significant and prominent people who would meet with her, and they did. When Random House ultimately fired her, Mary’s explanation is that Donald was at fault since he did not sit for an interview. During that period, she was with him many times, flew with him in his private jet to Mar-a-Largo, and was a guest there. Personal responsibility is absent from her considerations throughout the book except for the Trumps — they are responsible for everything.

On a personal note, I might understand Random House’s decision. Apart from the draw of the anti-Trump, gossip-like tirades, I found the writing of this book pedestrian. Descriptions of homes read like lists from a furniture catalogue, and the style lacks imaginative, poetic metaphor. The ending of the book felt tacked on to be au courant and suffered from the unsavory use of psychological attack as a front for personal and political differences.

Caveat Emptor

As the source of the New York Times article unearthing Trump finances, the paper’s longest article in history, Mary sealed herself in Trump history as a venomous snake in the family grass. This murderous vengeance is reflected throughout the book, but shockingly and disturbingly in the final paragraphs. Mary shares her delight in grotesque thoughts of President Trump envying a murderer and imagining himself as one. It is a final caution to the reader — rageful fantasy overrides objective reason in all that you have read.

And one final note — take another look at the cover.

Sheldon Roth, M.D., a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, is the author of recently published Psychologically Sound: The Mind of Donald J. Trump. source

I did have to chuckle when Narcissistic Personality Disorder was brought up. The man who personified that disorder was Barack Hussein Obama.

Brethren, the feeding frenzy of the Leftist media over the drivel of Mary Trump disgusts me. But should we be surprised? The hatred for our president is Demonic. There really is no other word to describe it.

Pray for God’s will in the upcoming election. Do not fear, no matter what the outcome. The riots in the streets will certainly calm down with a Biden victory. But if President Donald Trump is victorious, expect the violence, looting and murders to escalate.

Keep your eyes on the Lord!

How Can I Be Saved?

The Gospel According to Luke: Part 35 :: By Dr. Donald Whitchard

An Exposition

Luke 13:22-30: “Assurance, Delusion, and Destruction”

“And he was passing through from one city and village to another, teaching, and proceeding on His way to Jerusalem. And someone said to Him, ‘Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?’ And He said to them, ‘Strive to enter by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.’

“Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘LORD, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; and He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from; depart from Me, all you evildoers.’

“There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth there when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being cast out. And they will come from east and west, and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God. And behold, some are last who will be first, and some who are first will be last'” (Luke 13:22-30, NASB).

One of the tragedies that someone can experience is to believe that, at the end of life, all we become is fodder for worms. Many people live by the notion that whatever Higher Power that put this universe into working order will check you over, weigh out your good and bad deeds, and let you into the next life. Others who claim to believe in God and live by His principles as best as they can are certain that all will be well at the close of their terrestrial journey. A lot of folks who “prayed a prayer asking Jesus into their heart” while living a contrary life believe that they are guaranteed a place in heaven. There are a lot of people who were faithful in serving their place of worship, were kind to others, good to their family, and assured those concerned that God has forgiven them, and will be in glory when life concludes here.

Some of these people are even pastors, bishops, deacons, Sunday School teachers, nursery workers, youth directors, missionaries, and denominational leaders. The horrendous fact is that unless they have truly repented and surrendered to Jesus Christ for salvation, many of these souls will wake up apart from God and be in hell, shocked and frightened at what they believed they possessed in terms of eternal life.

As I observe the church today, I see reprobate behavior, friendship with the world’s beliefs, abandonment of sound biblical teaching and doctrine, preaching that resembles a pep rally or sales seminar, support of issues and trends that conflict with the standards of a holy God, and programs that keep people busy but starves them in terms of spiritual food found only in the Scriptures. I do rejoice when I see God’s people in prayer and intercession around the world, when sinners are truly transformed by the power of God, and am encouraged by the stalwart faithfulness of the persecuted brethren as they stand boldly for Jesus Christ. But the sad fact is that only a few who have confessed faith in Christ over the decades were real followers, totally sold out to Him.

Jesus emphasizes this hard truth as He went about the cities and villages of Galilee, teaching the people the truth of God’s ways and Word, the necessity of getting right with Him, and to repent of sin and wickedness. The LORD calls on all to come to Him for salvation, but we are to do so on His terms. We have nothing to do with it, nor does the sovereign God need our input as to how to redeem His fallen creation. He never asks for advice or counsel, and we do not need to improve upon what is His perfect means to rescue us from our sins and the certainty of eternal death if we reject His offer.

Following Jesus is not an option you can take up and put away when the mood strikes or when a crisis is at hand and you look to Him as some kind of “last resort.” When you surrender your life to Him and call Him Lord, let this sink in: HE OWNS YOU AND CAN DO WHAT HE WANTS WITH YOU AT ANY TIME AND PLACE FOR HIS GLORY AND PURPOSE. Do you see why the majority of humanity hates Jesus? We are no longer on the throne of life. When He saved you from your sin and the surety of hell, you abdicated, set yourself aside, and gave Him the right to rule over you. He is the Master of our soul and the Guide of our lives from now on.

Jesus made it perfectly clear to any would-be follower that there would be a cost, and to weigh it carefully before committing your life to Him, lest you end up as a seed in rocky soil and abandon the faith you thought you had because things got rough and the world suddenly started getting hostile towards you for being a “believer.” The cares and desires of this world are more worthy and beneficial to you than to give up everything for the sake of Christ and His rule. Therefore the “prosperity gospel” sounds so good to people. They will be more than glad to follow a Jesus who will give them wealth, health, and the desires of their heart, but avoid the real Lord Jesus Christ who demands their soul, their will, and their all.

People will say they want to follow Jesus, but just so long as He is in line with their political or social convictions, or if He agrees with or overlooks a certain lifestyle that is in clear violation of Scripture. They will follow Him if He seems to be a kind of mystical guru, a great prophet, a great moral example, or high-ranking teacher, but balk at the fact that He is God incarnate who is the true King of Kings and Lord of Lords who demands terms of surrender from fallen man.

In reading these sobering passages of Scripture, Jesus warns us to abandon any thought of self-rescue in terms of your soul. Give up any idea of self-assurance that all is well by your own power. He implores everyone to go through the narrow gate, representing His exclusivity in providing the ONLY way to God the Father (John 3:16, 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 10:9-10). We are to leave everything of our own making or conception behind, and to avoid this gate is to be shut out of the fellowship and kingdom of God.

The Scriptures also warn against giving Jesus “lip service.” Do not claim that He is Lord of your life when the fruit and evidence say otherwise. God will not be mocked, fooled, or flattered by empty words and fake action. He can see right through your hypocrisy and false piety. If this is describing you now, then you are traveling down the same hell-bound path that the Pharisees and religious frauds of history have taken through the centuries, ending up in eternal hell for their fake lives and putrid words. I urge you to turn around, repent of your hypocrisy and lies, and run to Jesus for true salvation right now, kneeling before His Majesty and embracing Him as Lord.

Do not believe for one moment that religious behavior, routine, or heritage that you see as authentic Christianity will get you to heaven. Do not be fooled into thinking that because your parents or relatives are followers of Christ that you get to ride into glory on their coattails. Do not assume that because you are a faithful member of your local church that all is well, either. The Scriptures clearly teach that we are to examine ourselves (Philippians 2:12-13) to see if we are the real deal in terms of being right with the Lord. Do not count on a “sinner’s prayer” you said years ago at the behest of the pastor or zealous evangelist out of guilt, manipulation, pressure, or a way of getting them to leave you alone. Anyone can repeat a prayer, but not mean it or not say it with sincerity and a genuine love for God.

For those of you who are truly saved and at peace with the Lord Jesus Christ, let me say this. The number of years or decades that you have walked with the LORD may have looked to you like you were the last man standing in the midst of all of the filth and wickedness that has grown and spread like a putrid cancer. You have seen friends and family walk away from the faith they once claimed to possess. You have been faithful in the task to which the LORD has assigned you, yet you wonder if any good has come of it because you do not see anything or anyone apparently changing for the better. You have prayed, it seems forever, for a loved one to be saved, and you do not see any evidence of it on the surface. Pastor, you have been in one little country church for years, desiring to go to another field of service that looks more fruitful, and you wonder if your work has even been noticed by God at times.

Sir or madam, you have claimed to be a follower of Jesus Christ for years, and you mean it, but there has been a secret sin that has grabbed hold of you like a vise; and you have fought it, rebuked it, did your best to walk away from it, but you keep being pulled to it like a moth to a flame. You pray for forgiveness and feel as if God is going to take away the salvation you claim to possess. Your spouse knows about it, and it has caused a rift in the relationship and made you question your very life and wonder if it had any merit or meaning. The guilt and hurt you have is more than you can bear, and you come to God in desperation, praying that He will not turn His back on you and cast you to hell. Am I right on all these observations? Then read further.

Considering that everyone who was used of God in the Scriptures was, at one time, hell-bound sinners and reprobates before He got hold of them, redeemed them, and used them to do mighty and wondrous things for His glory and grace should tell you that, in the kingdom of heaven, nobody is miniscule or insignificant when it comes to the duties and responsibilities to which the Sovereign God of all creation has called and equipped you to accomplish in this life. No matter your race, background, education, place of service, ethnicity, gender (only two!), physical limitation or mental shortcoming, Jesus Christ loved you enough to not just die for your sins and redeem you by His sinless blood and life on the cross, but sees you as important and worthy enough to be used in His time and place to do something for Him that only you can do.

He gave you the gifts and talents to accomplish that to which He assigned you, great or small. He will also give you His strength to overcome the sins that keep you from your task, and He will forgive you if you do fall short. He never leaves or forsakes us. He holds no grudges when you come to Him for forgiveness of sins. He is the Good Shepherd, and He will not leave any lamb to face the wolves, ever.

We will not know what kind of influence we have had as a follower of Jesus Christ until we get to heaven and be witnesses to the fruit we produced (1 Corinthians 3:10-16; 2 Corinthians 5:10). We will receive rewards for the little we did do for Him, even if it was to scrub floors in an office building for His glory or lead a mission group somewhere and preach the gospel. But all this depends on where you stand with Him at this moment. Are you sure you are really His child? If you are uncertain, or have read this and are convicted to surrender your life and purpose to the Lord Jesus Christ, then use this prayer as a guide:

“Lord God, I confess to you that I am not right with you, and I am under judgment for my sins and wrongdoings. I repent of my wicked lifestyle and words and come to you in the name of your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, for salvation and forgiveness. I surrender my life and everything with it to His Lordship and rule. I will follow you all my life. I will read your Word and let the Holy Spirit of God guide me from this point on. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.” Welcome home. Welcome back. Now go serve your King, and I will see you in glory.
