The Establishment Is Out to Get President Trump

Donald Trump has an endless number of enemies. The liberal media hates him. Hollywood hates him. The academia crowd hates him. The Washington, D.C. government bureaucracy hates him. They are all doing their very best to sabotage Trump’s presidency.

This mob of cry babies has tried every imaginable tactic to stop Trump from taking office.  Most of their efforts have had no legal ground on which to stand. When Rosie O’Donnell tweeted  that martial law should be declared to block Trump from becoming president, the press blindly repeated her crazy idea with no comment on the negative consequences of such an insane suggestion.

The Women’s March that took place the day after President Trump’s inauguration is solid proof that the people on the left are being consumed with madness.  I think the organizers as well as the participants need to be checked to see if they have that brain eating amoeba in their skulls.

The gathering was the most bazaar pointless event I’ve ever seen. One speaker after another endlessly compared Trump to the former leader of Nazi Germany. They said he is Hitler because he acts like Hitler, he does Hitler like things, and he has a Hitler agenda.

Singer Ashley Judd gave this rambling bit of wisdom to the crowd, “I am not as nasty as a swastika painted on a pride flag and I did not know devils could be resurrected but I feel Hitler in these streets! Nazi’s electro-conversion therapy! Gas chambers! Turning rainbows into suicide!”

The most ironic thing about this entire display of deranged hysteria was having the hijab-clad Muslim, Linda Sarsour, as a speaker. Everything Ashley Judd mentioned in her rant was actually everything Islam espouses.

What has me most concerned is the possibility that the establishment is moving to pin a stock market collapse on Trump. The economy has been on life support since the 2008 financial crisis. The Fed has kept the financial system stable by pumping in trillions of dollars. To trigger a crash all they need to do is stop printing new money.

Another way financial chaos can be created is to simply start telling the truth about our nation’s economic health. I’ve been tracking the national debt the past several months, and I’ve noticed we kept coming close to the $20 trillion milestone, but we never passed it. It’s miraculous that Obama managed to balance the federal budget for the last four months. Up until then, we had been averaging a shortfall of $100 billion per month.

This smoke and mirrors method of numbers crunching is very clear in the unemployed statistics. The press cheered when “Initial Claims” crashed to a 44 year low. However,  it has now come to light as of last week that the continuing claims data showed over 700,000 more people have been claiming unemployment benefits prior to President Trump’s election.

The unemployment rate is at 4.7% because the Labor Department started counting part-time jobs as full-employment. If you sell more than $100 worth of stuff on Ebay each month, you’re not considering jobless. The poor folks who gave up looking for employment are considered outside the workforce.

There can be no doubt that in the coming months that the national debt is going to edge up, and unemployment numbers are going to better reflect reality. Then, the mainstream media will suddenly discover how bad things are in America. Even though all of this happened under Obama’s watch, the goal is to have people think “Greater Depression,” when they think  “Donald Trump.”

The establishment has openly proclaimed their plan to defeat Trump through impeachment. Media Matters founder, David Brock, claims to have more than 20,000 hours of video, 289 candidate research books, and the largest available archive of Trump research in the Democratic Party. Brock launched a “Trump War Room,” with a team of over 40 workers that will scrutinize everything Trump does for the goal of forcing him out of office.

The guy that should have been examined for impeachable offenses is Barack  Hussein Obama. The former president repeatedly overstepped his authority. The U.S. Constitution clearly states that Congress controls the spending of money. Just hours before Obama left office, he openly defied Congress by quietly releasing $221 million to the Palestinian Authority.

Bookies are giving favorable odds that President Trump will soon find himself in a heap of trouble. The online betting site Paddy Power has placed the odds of Trump failing to complete his first term at 7 to 4. The odds of Trump getting impeached in the first six months stand at 4 to 1. The site doesn’t have a good track record with Trump. Paddy Power prematurely paid out nearly a million dollars to those who betted in favor of a Hillary Clinton victory, a move that resulted in a $5 million loss for the site when she eventually lost.

It has become quite amazing to see the magnitude of the hatred aimed at Trump. There is no other time in American history that can compare to this level of lunacy. People are almost foaming at the mouth over a man who has only been in office for a few days. If he were to suggest we bring back school prayer, this mob would have a collective brain aneurysm.

I think the massive opposition against Trump is a strong indication that he has been set in place by God to fulfill His will for the last days. The devil and his minions may rage but the end result will show that  the Lord is in total control of world events. If Trump is able to beat the odds, I think his triumph could be the peace and safety window that will occur before the Rapture.

“Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, ‘Peace and safety,’ destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:1-3).

Forewarning to Our New President

A Fox News person–can’t remember who–reported that Paul Anka, writer of the song “My Way” had withdrawn from performing at one or another of the events scheduled during the inaugural festivities.

Anka reportedly said the inauguration gig conflicted with his schedule. He thus joined a long list of celebrities and performers who said they would not be a part of the Trump victory celebration.

CNN, it was reported, gave a news flash that Nancy Sinatra, daughter of the late crooner Frank Sinatra, was furious that Mr. Trump would use the song “My Way” in the presidential celebration. She was, it was reported, incensed because it was the song her father made famous by recording it.

Ms. Sinatra, however, it became clear, was incensed not at Mr. Trump, but at CNN for what has become known as a fake news story. She reportedly was angry because the story was not true and she was said to have responded, “It’s not true. Why should I care? Why would they (CNN) lie about this?”

That’s a question many voters asked themselves before the vote by the electorate was cast in this presidential election. The diatribes by mainstream news hounds, favoring one candidate over the other, included lying the likes of which has rarely if ever reached the level it did in this election cycle.

The song “My Way” and the lies surrounding it serve to open the way for me to issue this warning to our new president, as suggested by the commentary’s title. 

I’ll say this at the outset. I can’t help but like the song. I’ve always–Lord, help me–liked it, particularly the way ol’ Elvis sang it. However, it is one of the most anti-God songs ever created. It is straight from the mind of the old serpent himself, I have no doubt. That’s why it is so appealing to the human mind and why even believers such as myself–weak in many ways because of the fallen nature of man–can’t help but like the song.

“My Way” tells the story of how the person singing it lived totally on his or her own terms. These didn’t listen to or bow the knee to anyone. They did it all–their way.

It’s not just a matter that the song is one of boasting about how great one is; it is a repudiation of God Himself. That might not have been Mr. Anka’s thought in writing it, but if you study the words, it is hubris that reflects Lucifer’s own words in Isaiah 14:14.

Getting back to our new president and his choosing the song for inclusion in his celebratory festivities, such hubris is likely, one hopes, not Mr. Trump’s own attitude. We should prayerfully hope–and believe–that he doesn’t–by making this song a part of his celebration–harbor the thought that he is now president only because of his own greatness and ability.

We have heard him state his thanks to so many–to the whole national voting public that cast their votes for him, in fact. I have heard him say that God is the one who made America “great” in the first place, and will do so again.

Still, I’m concerned when I know he–like myself–can’t help but like this song. It appeals to the pride that can so easily swell within each human being.

The Lord tells us in His Word that he hates “a proud look” (Proverbs 6: 17). He further says “he that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer” (Psalm 101:5). And, again, “An high look and a proud heart…is sin” (Proverbs 21:4).

God tells the end of all such pride in one’s self ability. “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18).

Being blind, I, of course, couldn’t see any of the presidential ball festivities. I did hear them, and the song “My Way” seemed to be the central theme song at each of the three.

Again, I couldn’t see it, but was told that at one point the new president, while dancing with the new first lady, looked into a nearby camera and mouthed the words, ”I did it my way.”

So, it is hearsay, not a firsthand account. Perhaps some of the readers of this commentary witnessed this silent comment by the president.

I was a supporter of Donald Trump and continue to be so as he promises to move America forward and lead us out of the slide into the abyss into which we are headed. Mr. Trump is often audacious and outspoken, and to be frank, it is one of the traits that endeared him to many–myself included–that is, to the extent that I like his pushing back against the pay-no-attention-to-the-American-people arrogance of Washington D.C. insiders and mainstream media types.

That said, I must issue this warning, Mr. President. You, I, and America must do it  “God’s way,” not “My way,” as Mr. Anka, Mr. Sinatra, or even ol’ Elvis would have it. Our very national existence depends upon this truth.

The Nations Gathered Against Israel    

The world’s hatred against the Jews has been as predictable as the tidal waves. Just as soon as the world gets over one bout of anti-Semitism, another wave comes rolling in.

For decades the horrors of the Holocaust made the foes of Israel very cautious. The passage of time has caused many to forget mistakes of the past. The enemies of the Jewish state have also been emboldened by a new angle of attack. The haters are now saying, “We’re not anti-Israel, we’re pro-Palestinian.”

This mentality has brought us right back to the twisted thinking of Nazi Germany. Last week a German appellate court upheld the decision of a lower court—that three Palestinians who tried  to burn a synagogue were not engaged in anti-Semitism; they were merely exercising their basic civil rights to protest against the Israeli government. Charges against the three were dismissed.

How can we possibly live in a civil society if Muslim terrorists are allowed to freely attack Jews? If  Jews used force to confront those three hoodlums, I doubt the court would say they were exercising their basic right to defend their property. No, that would be anti-Arab racism.

All around the world, it’s open season for anything connected to the Jewish race. Here in America, 27 Jewish community centers in seventeen states reported receiving (false) telephone bomb threats on the 18th of this month. It was the second wave of hoax attacks to target American Jewish facilities in less than two weeks.

The most troubling thing about these anti-Semitic attacks is the lack of concern. If someone paints a swastika on a  synagogue, the crime is a one-day story. If someone says Muslims should not come to a nation, it is considered a hate crime.

Our former president, Barack Hussein Obama, was the most anti-Israel president in history. He failed to block two votes at the United Nations that denied the Jews biblical and historical ties to the land of their ancestors.

His administration backed the lie that the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem, as well as much of the city itself and the lands known as Judea and Samaria are illegally inhabited by Jews. To side with Obama, you have to ignore the fact that there never was a Palestinian people and the fossil records that confirm the Jewishness of Israel going back some 4000 years.

I knew Obama would make one parting shot at Israel. At his last press conference he said, “I don’t see how this issue gets resolved in a way that maintains Israel as both Jewish and a democracy.” Of course, he was implying that Israel is an illegitimate nation that is only held together by force.

Pope Francis has also gotten his hands dirty by siding with the enemies of Israel. On January 14, the Pope received the Palestinian Authority, President Mahmoud Abbas. It’s bad enough that the Vatican is giving diplomatic recognition of a non-existent Palestinian state, but it also gives legitimacy to a man who decided he doesn’t need to bother with elections to hold office.

I received a flood of emails about the January 15, 2017 diplomatic conference in Paris where 72 nations gathered to talk about how to make a Palestinian state a reality. Never mind that there are much bigger problems in the world like the division Cyprus, Russia’s control of the Crimea, China’s claim to international waters, and the mess of northern Syria. There are no campus demonstrations chanting, “Free Gaza from the tyranny of Hamas.”

The Paris meeting turned out to be a pointless yak fest. Our new president, then still president-elect Donald Trump, saved the day by letting it be known that he did not take kindly to a major diplomatic move five days before he was to take office. British Prime Minister Theresa May also helped seal the meetings irrelevancy by only sending a  non-participating envoy and saying it is now time to build a relationship with the new American administration.

A clear indication that we are getting closer to the end of the last days has been the demonic driven escalation on the hatred of Israel. The rhetoric attacking Israel has gone from initially being called an “occupier” to an “apartheid state. And to where she is now be called an “aggressor.”  Donald Trump may slow the momentum of this train of hate, but I don’t think he will be able to derail it.

“On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations” (Zechariah 12:3).

Red Lights Flashing!

Questions pour in these days from those who have consistently read these commentaries over the years. Although the questions are all phrased differently to one extent or the other, the tone and thrust are the same. Those who are serious students of Bible prophecy –particularly from the pre-Trib perspective– view geopolitical matters taking place at present as profoundly significant. They see the red, flashing lights of alert.

“What do you think this means?” The queries most all ask this in one form or another. Developments last week in Paris, France stirs intensive interest among those who observe the times in light of Bible prophecy. Israel being at the heart of the matters involved generates the inquiries I receive almost hourly.

I am in complete agreement with those who email me. Things transpiring at the moment is like seeing the flashing, red lights at train-tracks you might be about to cross. Imminent danger exists. –Time to pay close attention!

Seventy-two nations –most overtly antagonistic to Israel– gathered during the past, inaugural week, ostensibly to determine the Jewish nation’s fate. Their intent, in the opinion of many who are observant Bible prophecy students, was to force Israel into giving up all claims to the land upon which the nation resides.

Intervention by the incoming Trump Administration seems to have preempted full implementation of the anti-Israel agenda. Great Britain also added its conference-dampening input.

Israel, with its constant vigilance against ever-present attempts to destroy the nation reportedly has managed to thwart much of its U.N. enemy efforts in the Paris conference matter.

United Nations globalists’ agenda, under the Resolution 2334  rubric they want to establish, is to declare Israel an occupier –the oppressor of the Palestinians who –the Israel antagonists say– have legitimate claim to the land.

While angry losers in America’s presidential election continue to sniffle and sob, and in some cases rage, that Donald J. Trump is illegitimate occupier of Obama’s White House, the U.N. Israel haters go through their own sort of whining and moaning. We have been witness to a constant diatribe of last days antics, orchestrated by Satan himself, I’m convinced, in order to try to rearrange the geopolitical and socio-economic landscape. Pope Francis, in meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, intruding into the Israeli-Palestinian land for peace thrust by the U.N., also, I believe, made observable Satan’s hand being inserted into the religious arena in his attempt to set the international stage for Antichrist’s eventual rule.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the Paris peace conference, devised by the Palestinian Authority and hosted by France, a “fraud.” He said the conference was “anti-Israel.” He warned the phony summit “will further lead to the adoption of anti-Israel positions.” Critics of the so-called Paris summit for peace between Israel and the Palestinians say that the conference and U.N. R2334 constituted an effort to lock Israel into the borders as they were in 1949. A document produced as a result of the meetings might, it was feared, have meant that Israel would have no claim to the Temple Mount, Mount Olivet, and all other of the sites revered as holy by Jews and Christians. Such a document would, it was thought, be designed to give the territory to the new Palestinian state if the so-called two-state solution comes to fruition. Representatives of Israel weren’t part of the conference. Netanyahu has vowed to ignore anything coming out of the “summit.” It remains to be seen what will be the ramifications of this attempted globalist grab in Middle East power politics.

Immediately upon release of information about R2334, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry made his now infamous, obviously anti-Israel statement as part of his speech. Kerry said that Israel could be either Jewish or Democratic, it cannot be both.

The Trump Administration will undoubtedly have much to say in changing America’s course as stated by Kerry. However, the secretary of state’s utterly audacious declaration thus laid out for the world to see the fact that the Obama Administration views Israel as an oppressive regime intent upon treating Palestinians cruelly if the Jewish state doesn’t go along with allowing the Palestinians all they want and deserve.

Ignoring all the atrocities and terrorism spawned on a daily basis by enemies who are vowed that they will destroy Israel, Kerry went on to imply America would recommend punitive repercussions for Israel’s refusal to make peace under terms of the Paris meetings.

Even though the conference in France seems to have been neutralized in large part, such statements by America’s (now former) top representative on the world diplomatic stage raises red flags –and sets those red lights flashing to be sure. The thoughts of students of Bible prophecy immediately go to Genesis chapter 12 about those who bless Israel and those who curse Israel.

The cogitations carom around within the spiritually-attuned gray matter. Zechariah chapter 12 and 14 and Joel 3:2 and many other prophetic passages involving God’s pronouncements about Israel at the end of the age leap at us. The red lights flash brightly. There are no more powerful signals to be found in Scripture on the nearness of Christ’s return at Armageddon following the seven-year Tribulation period.

We know, according to God’s Word, too, that Christ will call all believers into Heaven at least seven years before His Second Advent at the time of Armageddon.

Israel, the false peace process –all nations turned against God’s chosen nation –these are flashing, red lights to be sure.

However, my sense is that like the Lord’s obvious Intervention into so much of the globalist agenda, for the moment, God’s mighty hand has again intervened in this matter of the deck being stacked in favor of the Palestinians against God’s chosen people.
