No modern American person has ever been under such a brutal assault as President Donald J. Trump has endured over the past several years. The mechanisms of the worst elements of a corrupt and corroded global government, and every rotten and weaponized institution within it, has exclusively targeted Donald Trump.
Yet, he remains standing – empowered by something larger and more unexplainable than any force we comprehend.
Those words are not arbitrarily chosen. They are the reality of our situation and not an intellectually honest friend or foe would dispute them.
No one has withstood more unilaterally focused assault as we have seen upon President Trump. Yet, he remains standing – impervious and still swinging for the fences in every effort. It is one of the most remarkable things to see and experience in history.
I am not foolish enough, nor do I hold an opinion of self large enough, to try and clarify these words of consequence. These words stand as a representation of this moment in history. The speaker of these words has our full and undivided national attention. My part, our part, is to remain steadfast in bearing witness to them, and commit to leave the field when called upon to put down the plow.
We bear witness to one person absorbing the totality of leftist hatred and still standing, steadfast and determined – even – dare I say – more determined.
From where is it possible such strength is received?
You may try to tell me what we are witnessing is a human determination built upon ego and hubris; however, this is not possible. Not at this scale, not even close.
Somehow, whether by the design of the universe and/or the providence provided by a loving and purposeful God, you cannot convince me the strength we witness is not an outcome of the force of prayer, even if silently conveyed and not fully understood as prayer, flowing from hundreds of millions of individual people and traveling directly into the heart of this man named “Trump.”
How this transfer of purposeful energy takes place defies my human capacity to understand it, but it does… it simply does. We are wise enough, eyes open enough, to accept we are witnessing something far larger than our capacity to understand it.
♦ Steadfast doesn’t mean when it’s easy; the term has no meaning when things are working according to our own convenient interests. Steadfast means standing strong when it’s challenging, difficult and unnerving. Just as courage is not the absence of fear, rather it is taking action despite being fearful; so too is steadfast a decision.
Often when things are disconcerting, we retreat to a place where we are comfortable. However, steadfast is unwavering despite the obstacles and difficulties.
When we don’t hold the words to comfort the grieved, yet we show up and sit quietly just to eliminate the loneliness, that is a steadfast commitment.
When we see adversity on the face of another, and we choose to engage with our time and comfort, that is a steadfast decision.
When we see one person under assault from every corrupt enterprise under the control of man and government, and we stand firm in our support and prayer for that target, we are making a steadfast decision.
Right now, those who wish to “fundamentally change” our nation are waging a full-frontal assault against our constitutional republic. The bombardment seems overwhelming.
Leftist city and state leaders have abandoned rule of law in favor of supporting a mob effort to destroy our sense of national unity. Political activists, left-wing ideologues under the guise of democrats, and a host of media allies are conducting an information war on behalf of their objective.
We now understand how Big Tech social media companies are attempting to remove the voices of those who are fighting back. Our eyes are wide open.
There is a great deal of purposefully driven anxiety and fear amid our nation as this multi-faceted internal war between truth and darkness takes place. However, there is a primary element to this effort that each person can act to counter. Do not let your sense of self succumb to this assault. Do not let them win the battle for your peace of mind.
It might, heck, -check that- it does seem overwhelming at times. But that is the nature of this corrupt collectivist strategy. That is the purpose of this bombardment. We must hold strong, steadfast and push back against their lies and manipulations.
If you look closely at this latest attack against President Donald Trump, it is weak and much of it is psychological bait. We The People are ultimately the target, he’s just in the way. Do not fall into the trap of despair they intend to create.
In July of 2020, it was our CTH mission to ensure that people within the institutions of our government were aware of: (a) evidence of specific corruption, and (b) our knowledge about it. It was during one of those briefing trips to DC when I recognized a serious disconnect between what the people within those institutions of government viewed as their role, and what We The People expected of them.
This was also the first time when I realized that internal corrective action was unlikely to succeed because the scale of corrupt activity was not simply based on intent, but also present because the absence of morality was metastatic throughout the system.
I’m certain there are good people in DC, but the systems surrounding them have lost their originating purpose. The central function of our U.S. government is now so corrupt the institutions regard ‘We The People‘ as the problem the people within the system must protect themselves from.
I quickly recognized the solutions to our national issues were never going to come from our requests to those who operate within the institutions. However, even worse was the impact we were having on each other due to our national frustration. It was evident within our frustration – as a nation – we were losing a sense of identity, unity and fellowship.
The only people who can change that dynamic is us.
We are ‘The People’ we have been waiting for; yet, the professional political class, purposefully walled off within this corrupt system, are also purposefully blind to our assembly. In order for the DC politicians to continue operating corrupt levers within a corrupt machine, they must ignore the will of the same people they are supposed to represent.
President Trump represents ‘We The People‘, and as a consequence, those within this corrupt system view his appearances with the same dismissive outlook they carry toward those who voted for him.
They want to destroy us, so they need to destroy him.
They want to destroy our faith, so they need to destroy hope.
They will fail so long as we remain steadfast.
CTH (The Last Refuge) was founded upon this acceptance long before Donald Trump became president in 2016; and the actions by both wings of the UniParty congress over the past decade have been clear evidence of what we always knew was present.
Our current national challenge is to figure out a way to confront this dynamic and then deal with it. However, we must deal with it in a way that does not destroy the founding principles of our constitutional republic. There are many disappointments around us, but we must remain strong and purposeful with any chosen direction. Misplaced corrective action regardless of intent is neither prudent nor wise.
Above all, those who understand the larger issues must remain united and hold a sense of fellowship toward each other if we are to overcome the challenges. The purpose of using fear as a strategic weapon to achieve division is evident (J6). Weaponized law enforcement can be an effective strategy deployed by those who benefit from division; we must counter this effort.
This moment in history is where each person of deliberate strength holds a higher level of influence. We should engage in the lives of others to show that strength.
Right now, as President Trump confronts the corruption, people around you are looking for courage, optimism and hope. If you do not provide that to your family, friends and community, you allow the alternative, despair, to take root.
Despair is the foreboding outcome of the same evil systems that create it. Recognize despair when you see it; intercept it and eliminate it when you can… AND you always can. Tend to the flickering flame of liberty & teach others, especially our youth, the skills to defend it.
Do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. We are a majority nation of liberty loving independent and free-thinking people; born under a compact to allow each to live their lives according to their own purpose. Do not abdicate the duty to protect individual liberty to anyone except yourself. Your dreams are unique to you.
Stay strong for your family…
Stay strong for your community….
Stay strong for our nation… We need each other.
Stay strong and filled with purposeful prayer for President Trump….
And, when called to take direct action, drop the fucking plow!
Steadfast,
~ Sundance
Recommendation for protestors:
Yeah, those nasty masks can come in handy… (mask, sunglasses, hat, unidentifiable clothing, gloves, NO cells**)
Gov’s new facial recognition & bio-metrics:
https://presidentialwire.com/feds-are-working-on-a-controversial-facial-recognition-project/
Umbrellas? Yellow vests?
Just saying…BE SAFE…protect yourself.
Absolutely Not!! You are giving people terrible advice! This article explains why…
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/03/advice-to-trump-supporters-considering-protesting-his-expected-arrest-next-week-from-an-experienced-conservative-street-activist/
You are not understanding. I am not telling folks they should protest. However, I am telling those who choose to do so, to be safe and to guard themselves. This is not a time for emotional reactions, but for contemplated responses.
Also, I just read that article by the ‘professional protestor’ and I see that I agree with him on every point except one…the wearing of masks. Because of J6, a protest this ‘professional’ did not attend…and because of what we have learned about how innocent Folks were tracked down with their facial recognition (which is why I posted that link regarding their facial recognition), personally I would wear a mask. I was not recommending a type of mask that an antifa member might wear, but I was referring to the ‘covid masks’ which is why I stated: ‘those nasty masks can come in handy’. Also, take note of the pics in that article. All are wearing sunglasses and a hat. Because of the advancement in bio-metrics (again, I refer you to the article in my comment) since the time period in which this ‘professional’ protested. I have added the usage of gloves.
I hope that helps calm your fears.
So here we are. The man who suffered trying to give us back our country, and the thread is filled with virtually everything except ways to peaceable protest. Trump said “Protest, protest, protest”, and you all run off on a tangent. HE IS ASKING ONE THING OF YOU. CAN YOU, AND WILL YOU DO IT?
Hooray, finally someone else is singing the same sing as I.
Every single person has an excuse for why they cannot and will not step up and go into battle for President Trump.
It is okay for them that he is persecuted and suffer financial loss. But not one here will put skin in the fight.
President Trump rarely asks for anything. But today he is.
And the response here has been pathetic.
Sickening, isn’t it.
There are many definitions for the word Protest.
None of them define anything near what the mob has called protests over the past few years. Looting, causing mayhem, toppling statues is not protest.
It seems this is a nice moment where we, as individuals, research the many definitions for that word and pick one and do that?
Each person can find their own stockpile of sand and continue to throw those handfuls of sand into the machine. Eventually the people, as a whole, will know what to do, when to do and how to do that which needs to be done to return to our founding principles. Take advantage of these moments of calm, let the emotional responses subside and we will wisely figure out what to do. Just my 2 cents.
Without a mass and coordinated effort, it will fail. We need to come to a lawful, and peaceful idea for a protest. The best yet is we all stay home and don’t buy anything, use our phones, shop etc. We just stay home for a week
Well,well, well. As I predicted.
The rabid Left is calling for Trump to be jailed with no bail until trial because he is a flight risk and inciting protests.
And watch, the trial will be delayed until after the 2024 election.
The Left is already framing the narrative.
Conservatives better start thinking about action, because yakking on a blog isn’t going to help Trump now.
He needs people in the battle with him.
Trump called for direct action. I would say Tuesday is the time to drop the darn plow!
And possibly surrounding his home with enough people to give the evil ones pause?
I have believed since the moment President Trump came down that escalator that he is not here in this time by accident.
Well said.
On alert and ready.
However, as fury takes over, we absolutely can not give them another Jan 6.
i can withdraw money, I can calmly inject sense into a senseless world but no one can fight if they are in a jail cell.
What if we all go into our churches and hold a prayer revival vigil? How can the powers-that-be possibly co-opt that movement?
Just think of the optics of their gestapos storming into places of worship to arrest peaceful protesters! And their fake news minions would have a hard time demonizing us on their six o’clock propaganda pieces about that awful orange man!
What better way than prayers to bring God into our battle for humanity? A two-fer! Prayer revival protest!
Thanks, Sundance. This is a power struggle and we will have to prevail if we want to save our dying Republic. We are fighting against Marxists and they think they have already won and are now consolidating their control. You bet we are in for a long haul.
Tribalism founded the oldest Nations by using the well worn idioms of Collectivist clap trap. Tribalism always works and then it always fails. History does repeat itself over and over. Humans are apparently not fit to govern themselves. The question is always the same. “Was this the last try we are going to have?” Only God knows what comes next, I reckon.
Offense and Defense in Prayer for the Word: 2 Thessalonians 3:1–5, Part 1
Hurrah Sundance! Many thanks for those words!
In the best way, I am reminded of WILD AT HEART z& how Nick Cage’s character was always saying of his snakeskin jacket “ for me it’s a symbol of my individuality, and my belief… in personal freedom.” — there are a ton of lemmings out there that can quote that movie but aren’t burdened by the erosion of personal freedoms they have championed. I PRAY THEY WILL WAKE UP.
Thank you Sundance for this post. Your leadership 👍🏼
Ephesians 5:8-148 You were darkness once, but now you are light in the Lord; behave as children of light,
9 for the effects of the light are seen in complete goodness and uprightness and truth.
10 Try to discover what the Lord wants of you,
11 take no part in the futile works of darkness but, on the contrary, show them up for what they are.
12 The things which are done in secret are shameful even to speak of;
13 but anything shown up by the light will be illuminated
14 and anything illuminated is itself a light. That is why it is said: Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
Brilliant quote. You’ve given me a reminder of how Christ has called us to live.
1 I’m gonna send thee one by one,
one is the little bitty baby was born, born,
born in Bethlehem.
Wade in the water … Wade in the water, children … Wade in the water
2 I’m gonna send thee two by two,
two are Paul and Silas
one is the little, bitty baby was born, born,
born in Bethlehem
Wade in the water … Wade in the water, children … Wade in the water
I used to hear that song all the time from one of my favorite singers. I still hear his voice in that song. So Beautiful. So Precious.
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
so let us live in the fruit of the spirit my dear fellow treepers, cause against such things there is no law.
The Lord bless you and keep you: The Lord make his face to shineupon you, and be gracious to you: The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.”. –
“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
Oh I love this. Oh that is Precious! Thank you so much for that.
Thank you!
Vivek Ramaswamy has officially thrown down the gauntlet to DeSantis and Haley. Go0d for him:
“I held a press conference following my South Carolina speech. I called on GOP donor class favorites
@RonDeSantisFL and @NikkiHaley
to join me by 9 AM tomorrow in calling on the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to abandon the political persecution through prosecution of the 45th president.
Thank you for posting that video.
So Delightful! Just Priceless.
Good for him! Yes, call out those worms who want your vote! This is our country — they’d better fight for it!!
Absolutely true! DeSantis should have made a statement already. I think he and his wife are salivating over Trump’s arrest.
I think RDS’s wife is washing his soiled underwear for the tenth time today. He’s not man enough to stop crapping himself over a slam-dunk decision.
His wife certainly seems to be influencing rather openly. She wants the 1st Lady gig and apparently doesn’t want to wait beyond this next cycle.
In another video from earlier on Saturday, Vivek said he was told by his donors/managers to not say a thing about what the Dems have planned for Trump with this bogus arrest. He showed he had cajones by ignoring their “advice.” You can bet Haley and DeSantis were told the same as Vivek was.
You can BET that NOBODY HAD TO TELL Haley and DeSantis a Single Solitary WORD, They KNOW which WAY the wind would blow sweeter for THEM – in Their birdbrain imaginations.
If they think damage to Trump is Good News for THIER ambitions…. so much the better, let them keep on showing themselves for what they ARE.
A little man.
RDS is cut from political cloth, he’s on a “listening tour,” don’t you know; whereas, DJT is cut from our cloth.
His Bush Machine handlers won’t let him say anything. He’s toast if he runs in 2024, and his GOPe donors will dump him for someone else if he runs in 2028. I hope DeSantis enjoys being governor of Florida because that’s as high as he’ll ever get on the political totem pole!
word
Not just DeSantis but every Republican candidate, potential candidate, governor and elected official whether it be federal, state or local. Any one of them that chooses not to condemn it is tacitly agreeing with the move. That tells us exactly who they really are and that their own political aspirations are all they focus on. Little do they know they wouldn’t last ten minutes in the pressure cooker President Trump has endured for the past six years. Each of us needs to pray for him and our country like we have never prayed before. Ronna’s statement today was the weakest milk toast statement she could muster so we know where the National Republican Party apparatus stands.
I saw somewhere online a couple of hours ago, someone said (maybe a couple of hours before that) that so far the only Republican candidate who has condemned this is Vivek Ramaswamy.
JD Vance has Trump’s back bigly
Vance just may be for real, especially after his East Palestine experience.
He is the only one that I’ve seen.
This article mentions Vance, MT Greene, and a few others who have come out against this BS! I will be awaiting the other contenders’ inclusion. As far as DeSantis is concerned — he never said squat about the Feds raiding Mara Lago, so he’s already on very thin ice with the normies…
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3906624-republican-lawmakers-blast-potential-trump-indictment-as-politically-motivated-abuse-of-power/
We already KNEW where the National Republican party apparatus stood, when they re-elected Gonna for a 4th term.
And, we knew, if we bothered to look, where every Republican office holder “stood”, especially after the 2022 midterms.
Yet another irony, it is THEIR actions that have given us a whole group of “litmus tests” that make it EASY to spot the Rinos, and impossible for them to camaflogue themselves as MAGA.
Sure, they can TRY, by mouthing platitudes or making minor moved on SOME “Cultural issues” like Parental rights,…but will they call for, and fight to implement Nationwide School Choice? No, only true MAGA will fight for that.
And yes, the MAL raid and now this “pending arrest” of PDJT, and the deafening silence, screams so loudly none can not hear it.
Some ARE speaking out; those that are already firmly labeled as MAGA, both by us and our enemies.
This IS an “escalation”; how will they ‘play’ it, now?
With public pressure, will they “back down”? Can they, at this point?
We are witnessing the most profound moment in history, and Titanic battle of God vs Satan, since the birth of Christ, and the American revolution, combined.
If they’ve already been marked, it might stall things for them if they speak out for The Constitutionally appropriate Stand, but not much.
But it’s been STRONG signals for me for just that much more confirmation to see DS be SILENT all this past week while this was getting kicked around.
He didn’t count on his coming out so big so fast so soon having that effect on him – DOZENS of other GOP can be silent now, and who would notice – that isn’t different, and their silence doesn’t cause a Glaring Light to focus on that silence.
But someone who BITES the hand that ENDORSED HIM into Office, so severely as he did this past Summer and Fall…. Folks are watching him for his response, unlike so many OTHERS. Who can slink into the shadows quietly.
Yes, right now, Prayer is our Best Course, and I believe God will either Move tremendously, and soon, or finally show us a Way for something we can do, several of their biggest projects are beginning to crumble on them as we speak, but things could possibly still go either way, and the difference is going to be what the People have to say TO GOD, and ABOUT GOD, and we need to find out what He is looking for as His Signal to open His floodgates.
Prayer is important but that’s not what trump asked us to do. We must find ways to peacefully protest without walking into traps.
The problem that I see with this, just imho, is that even if it is a peaceful protest, the feds, etc. will call it “violent” & use their authority to arrest citizens that are there. Concern not that our people are planning violent protest – but that libs/Dems/feds, etc. will call it “violent” & use their narrative to make arrests. We’ve seen how they can ruin Patriots’ lives!
Instead of just sitting back and watching, I’ll be calling my senators and rep and TELLING them that I – and their whole conservative base in my state – are watching them carefully! Call these cowards out!
Right down to the local Dog Catcher !
I tried posting this right before your post, but it’s been in the approval zone for some time. So I’ll post it here, in case I ended up in the bin:
Sorry linderella. For some unknown reason, twitter links frequently end up in moderation.
Good to know, Ad Rem. Thanks for rescuing me from the abyss of the moderation bin! 🙂
seems to do w/ the # of links in the tweet.
I hope DeSantis feels the walls closing in on him.
He, his handlers that is, are painted into a corner, and the time for him to make a move has already passed, IMHO.
JUST as with the MAL raid, his silence speaks volumes, and any statement now is “too little, too late”.
DeSantis is toast, he has BEEN toast, from the beginning, a “dead candidate walking” it just took awhile for the rigor mortis to take effect.
Dutch and I believe this is exactly why hasn’t announced….yet. He can’t announce while Trump is “still” in the race. He will wait until the Uniparty uses their government tools to “remove” him from contention.
DeSantis doesn’t realize this too will not work.
If Trump isn’t removed (and by removed, I mean tarnished and voters abandon- which won’t happen) he simply pretends he never had an intention on running, he never announced, etc. If Trump starts to fall and be abandonedhe will jump in as the full fake MAGA he is to try and rescue us plebes.
DeSantis had his chance last August and he blew it then. What he does this time will be of no surprise.
Absolutely! Because it is a Bar, very much like abortion.
It is Definitive.
There is so such thing as being ‘well, we are on different sides of this issue but we can agree with each other, together, in order to get along.’ ‘For the Sake of all the other Important issues.’
NO.
I give you 1 & 2, Corinthians, which church WAS NOT divided but ALL were very proud of themselves for being tolerant of one of their “RESPECTED” MEMBERS otherwise a Regular member, who was sleeping with his father’s wife and all the church and town knew it, and the Church was proud of themselves for CONDONING IT. And Then Came Paul….
I’m going to be very incredibly shocked if DS “takes a stand” on this issue.
But, a day is a long time with a challenge in his face for him to decide based on feedback what course is the “Smart Meter” choice to make.
It’s too late to be genuine. DeSantis had an opportunity to speak from his own heart but he blew that yesterday.
Anything he says now in feigned support of Trump will be the result of political calculation – sticking a wet finger up into the political wind – and should be rejected as disingenuous.
DeSantis failed to show a constitutional law & order true spirit. He is clearly bought and paid for by the DC Establishment.
Ronnie Boy now has to ask Karl Rove for permission to pee.
They completely own him now. An overweight puppet.
He just surrendered to Disney, as if you needed any more proof.
Yes, he is totally owned now, since accepting his however many millions of 30 pieces of silver. He is indebted and owned by the creepy Demonic donors.
Hope he lives to regret and repent for this.
Why does anyone still watch faux news. They went to the dark side in 2015. Are you just waking up?
How many untold thousands of our veterans returned to their businesses/jobs (plows) after they were called to serve? And how many of them could not because they died or were crippled in service to America? Sometimes the call was unjust or a lie but still they went. My salutations to all of them.
When I was a little kid, Cincinnatus was the old guy on Daniel Boone.
You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness
2 Peter 3:17
Do not take this the wrong way, I am not comparing my President, Donald John Trump, to Adolph Hitler. But there is an interesting parallel. Hitler wasn’t all that popular in Weimar Germany until they arrested and jailed him and he wrote Mein Kampf. After he was released he became a legend, a hero, a martyr for the betterment of Germany in the minds of the PEOPLE, who were suffering terribly. Let them arrest him; his fame and maga will then rise to astronomical heights. Sundance is exactly right.
Moronic
History is history expat. I doubt you really know what was going on in Germany after WW1. Why AH rose to power and the crowds you see at the rallies. What jobs were available to Women, was there even work for men. O it goes deeper, but shhhh, we can’t really talk about facts can we.
Moronic my Azzz.
The Victor’s write the history, and villify the losers.
Much of the WWII history is a narrative of dates, battles etc. Hitler was the product of the German industrial sector. Picked and financed by Krupp, Thyssen, et al.
“12.) MANNERS MATTER – Simple kindnesses and courtesy should always be present in tone and content. When writing, ask yourself before you hit send: does this add value?
13.) NO PERSONAL ATTACKS – Ever. The fastest way to lose commenting privileges is to ridicule, bully or personally attack another person’s opinion or comment. Unfortunately people, often good people, let their passion interfere with good manners and personal judgement. If you cannot be polite or respectful, pause – and – do not comment.”
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/guidelines-for-comments/
I see the parallel you’re drawing.
Hitler went to jail because he was a criminal. It didn’t help him in his political career, that he was seen by many Germans as a thug.
He went to jail as a thug who was trying to overthrow a tyrannical regime put in place in Germany by the Allies.
The ONLY reason the German Army signed the armistice in the first place during WWI was to go home to fight a left wing Bolshevik led insurrection against the German government just as had just happened in Russia.
And that movement (left wing) after being dashed in Germany was subsequently moved to Spain where Franco led a coup against a similarly leftist takeover of the government (called Republicans ironically) that were killing priests, the intelligentsia, land owners, etc. and ushering in Communism. The ‘Republican’ Government there were importing as mercenaries communists from all over especially Russia (the Red Brigades).
Can you not see the similarities in the US today of these two examples?
I’m no fan of Hitler or his policies, but he was a reaction to the fears of ordinary Germans and what they were experiencing at the end of the Great War and shortly thereafter in the Weimar Republic where hyperinflation was some of the worst ever experienced in a First World country, kinda like the US today.
It would help if you knew history a little better.
People see or hear “Hitler” and their brain tunes out because of his maniacal actions after he was elected President by about 14M votes (approx. 21% of the pop.) in ‘32. But Hitler saw the population’s extreme dislike of the Weimar Republic (he also hated it) and he adopted an extreme platform to win popularity.
Germanys plight after losing WWI and being forced to agree to the Treaty of Versailles is lost on the majority of Americans and European allies from the Great War. The victors foolishly mishandled Germany after that war and unwittingly set the stage for its budding fascist leaders to plot political & economic revenge as a result.
You are so right Black Knight.
Not only that, but the Versaille Treaty ending WWI carved up German territory and demanded reparations from Germany as punishment for WWI.
” Alsace-Lorraine was given to France and Eupen-Malmedy to Belgium. Territory in eastern Germany was given to a reconstituted Poland.”
German citizens all still lived in these territories and the area of Poland Hitler “invaded” that began WWII was actually a former German province, filled with over 8 million German citizens and farms. These Germans had been murdered on Bromberg bloody Sunday by Polish Bolshevicks in 1939.
Not so simple.
I have not given myself over to a mortal man as savior, only God and his son Jesus. It was never intended we give our allegiance to a man as savior. God made that explicitly clear when the Israelites wanted a king. I see why he didn’t. Men are merciless evil in places of power. It rots their mind. Number two, Lucifer lost control and fell. I cannot even imagine his place and his fall yet we are less endowed and cannot balance the power we are given.
When you put a man in to high a place in our lives it blinds us of God, he is a jealous God and will not be mocked. It means eyes off him and we are destined to failure. David, Solomon, men who were flawed miserably and created hardship for their people, but were anointed kings. The only thing that carried them was they were quick to consult God and his prophets. I don’t see that anywhere in any leader, name one true man or woman who consults and follows God.
I will end with this. “Even the very elect will be deceived” in the end times. “End” is an ending of an age not necessarily end of times, that cannot be predicted. It’s because we are focused on a man as savior not God.
Every time I figure out Gods plan I discover I have no idea what his plan is until it happens. He is “the great I am” and we will never be able to know the future until it is here. It would be boring if we did know, and would never be “future”.
God is in control even in this circumstance. He knows everything and everyone.
Leaders are needed for times like these.
Remember Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 4:
“16 From that day on, half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor.
The officers posted themselves behind all the people of Judah
17 who were building the wall.
Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other,
18 and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked.”
I read this aloud to my husband tonight. TRUTH! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
God IS a Jealous God. But most people do not understand WHAT it is He is jealous OF.
God is Jealous because He KNOWS all the Answers to Everything.
HE MADE MAN and thus Loves Man and wants the best for Man.
Man doesn’t begin to know anything. And most of what Man knows gets misconstrued and misunderstood.
The Devil knows enough from his fallen state to know how deeply God loved Man.
That is why he fell – he saw that God intended to give Position to MAN that the devil wanted for himself.
Since he could do nothing to get at the Throne of HEAVEN, he decided to get revenge for himself.
Since he knows how much God love man, the devil decided to drag all the mankind that he could to hell.
He knew he cannot escape hell, but he decide at least he could take as many humans as possible with him, knowing that will hurt God.
THAT is why GOD is JEALOUS, not because humans love something or someone more than they love GOD, but because loving anything else More than God will take that person to hell, BY THEIR OWN CHOICE.
He never intended for humans to go to hell, nobody goes there except it is Their Own Choice, because they REJECT GOD.
And God gave us Free Will, because He was not trying to make ROBOTS or Androids or Automatons, or SLAVES.
He was and is trying to build a FAMILY!
He lets humans go to hell who refuse to Love God and reject Him. He gave them free will.
But that is not what He wants for them.
THAT is why He hates to see people love someone or some things so much that they reject Him, and take themselves to hell to be with the devil.
It’s not Green-Eyed hateful Jealousy. NO!
It is hatred of what He KNOWS will come of it, when the people did NOT trust Him to bring them eventually to what they wanted, or because they deliberately chose things to want which they KNEW He hated.
It is the Fires of Hell that God hates. He isn’t the One Who made it what it is.
Well said Rider!!!! TRUTH! 👍
Thank you, Palerider, for this Truth.
Nothing to add – except, Thanks, again …
Thank you, Sundance for re-newing my belief that in the END Good & Truth WILL win over Evil & Lies. In some way, I equate Trump to Job in the Bible. He was tested and lost everything yet NEVER blamed God for his suffering. Suffering may sometimes be allowed in our life to purify, test, and strengthen the soul of an individual and/or Nation. I believe that OUR Pres. Trump by Divine Providence won the 2020 Election ( and 20222) only to be thwarted by the forces of evil in 22′. As Trump is being tested etc. so is our country at this juncture. We are in a spiritual battle of Good v. Evil. It’s so fitting that one of Biden’s campaign slogans was ” BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF THE COUNTRY” when in fact he & his minions were battling FOR Satan. We MUST pray every day for our country and Pres. Trump. God has HIS Plan but also God “helps those who help themselves”, . We must win or we LOSE our country…PERIOD! May God bless all Treppers and this country!
“God helps those who help themselves” is not in the Bible. God wants us to trust Him, not ourselves. That is where our strength is. If you read the Bible you will find that in the battles of the Old Testament, God actually REDUCED the size of the armies so that man would not take credit for the win but only God.
15When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked.
16“Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
As Sundance has well stated, be Steadfast in the days to come.
RED FLAG OPPORTUNITIES
We need to think clearly first, so that when we act with courage, we are aiding the cause of freedom, not just venting our frustration, or WORST OF ALL… playing right into their hands!
Anticipate red flag ops in your area following a disgusting, lawless, high-profile arrest–which will be concerted to provoke all MAGA supporters or sympathizers.
If you protest publicly, know the people with whom you are standing. Point out and rebuke anyone who encourages or displays violence. Keep up a supportive conversation with the police in your vicinity, before and during.
Know that we will be standing in the middle of two groups whose actions, though differently motivated, still effectively destroy Constitutional freedoms–deep state operatives and unthinking mobs.
Here is some good advice from an experienced conservative activist
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/03/advice-to-trump-supporters-considering-protesting-his-expected-arrest-next-week-from-an-experienced-conservative-street-activist/
In my 73 years, no President has inspired me as much as Donald J. Trump. There have been great Presidents, but in my lifetime, this man is the greatest! And if he gets his return in 2024, I believe he will show us how great America can be!
Exactly blessed to have lived knowing an example of greatness!
I do not need to separate a “protest to save our country” from a “protest to support PDJT” for they are one and the same.
Ideology = MAGA
Interesting shake out/self-own by the Desantis simps on Twitter. You can see where they fall in the hierarchy of things by their reaction to the news of Trump’s potential arrest. Did they, defend Trump? Fall into a DeSantis like comatose silence? Or my favorite, throw stones at Trump, and defend DeSantis. F****** pathetic. Hi guys. We know you’re reading here. Just know we’re watching and reading you, too. Now run along. You’ve got checks to cash.
I understand these events do call for some form of action. Still, can we at least wait till Tuesday. Let’s see the charges and let the lawyers for DJT do their jobs. Ask some of the jan. 6th rotting in jail, their families suffering, if they would do it all over again? I understand they were swindled and few are guilty of anything . They are still suffering and what results did they achieve? When there is no fair rule of law people must be extra vigilant. I love DJT and understand he needs our support, but it must be something that will have a positive result. What that may be is for people smarter than me.
“Still, can we at least wait till Tuesday”. Why? Do you think giving people who profess to lead the benefit of the doubt when showing you otherwise is a strength? This isn’t a tough call. The statute of limitations has already expired. President Trump sued Stormy Daniels and won. Stormy Daniels’ lawyer is in prison. This is already been litigated extensively.
Why would you want silence? Why would you think processing this aloud for strategy and understanding is a bad thing? Why would you suggest silence, marginalizing important discussion as if inappropriate?
Ah, you do not want discussion. You want silence.
Never said silence, protests are a trap. And DJT was in Oklahoma City, watching NCAA wrestling finals and was cheered by many. Pray and help others
We can all take action by contacting our congressmen and senators, and letting them know we expect justice and action. If enough of us flood the switchboards Monday, it’s one important way to protest and let them know how many of us are paying attention.
Several have told us before, they will ignore switchboards and also computer messages, but Real LETTERS stack up on the desk, the office floor, the hallways…
Nothing works as well as LARGE mailbags FULL of UNHAPPY VOTERS….
Well, I know a few times that e-mails and electronic Messages did cause their computers and phone lines to CRASH. SOMETIMEs that causes some discomfort to them, but then again, these days, they still have their cell phones, so it isn’t as bad for them as in a few decades Past.
The J6’s got into trouble by entering the Capital building. Had they stayed outside on the grounds, they would have been okay.
Actually, I believe SOME have been arrested, that never entered the Capital bldg.
But that came later, after they got away with the first part.
Precisely why the doors were opened (from the inside) and the Capitol Police acted like escorts for the “tourists.”
At the Jan. 6th event, I watched the people climbing the Capital wall, and as soon as I heard the flashbangs and saw the smoke, I returned to my hotel. I knew that bad things would happen and did not want to be caught up.
There were many sketchy people (Antifa) in front of the Capital, making a lot of noise and trying to get people riled. I feel terrible for those that got lured into the trap.
not really with Antifa, the Capital Police and the FBI instigating a riot.
Wait till Tuesday?
Sounds like the same logical rationalizing the GOPe/uniparty claimed to have used as they publicly praised the unbiased Intel community and welcomed the corrupt Mueller witch Hunt/cover up operation in the name of transparency and restoring the publics confidence in our free and fair elections.
Then they asked us to wait patiently for the corrupted scam investigation to conclude before we make any judgements about Barack the MAGIC negro spying on his political enemies.
Which was the original question nobody wanted publicly discussed to begin with before the public’s attention was redirected from looking at Obama’s illegal activities to focus on the lies they created about PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I agree with this thought – just imho, even if it is a peaceful protest, the feds, etc. will call it “violent” & use their authority to arrest citizens that are there. Concern not that our people are planning violent protest – but that libs/Dems/feds, etc. will call it “violent” & use their narrative to make arrests. We’ve seen how they can ruin Patriots’ lives!
They shutdown and do not respond to comments asking where DeStablishment stands on this and if he will extradite.
WOW! Yeah, Him handing Trump Over will make for Nasty Photo Ops!
Now ain’t he a fine Bulls Eye!
Trump 2024 opponent Vivek Ramaswamy slams possible looming indictment: ‘Dark moment in American history’
Ramaswamy has no chance at the nomination, but at least he spoke out. Even Judas Pence spoke out about this too. I guess Karl Rove and the rest of the Bush Machine have tight reins on Ronny D’s public comments!
Vivek may not have a chance at the presidential nom, but I’m beginning to think a Trump/Ramaswamy ticket could be attractive. So far, his stand on the issues sound very MAGA — and challenging DeSantis and Haley to speak out by tomorrow morning showed guts and character.
Glenn Beck had Vivek on his program today to interview him. He is interesting to listen to, I feel very idealistic but he called Trump a Hero. This man has character. RdS was silent on the Mar a Lago raid also.
Agree with your comment 100%.
Ramaswamy has a beautiful position to get some Fabulous CREDS for Other Later Prospects, the reason many candidates run when they have no hope of THAT office they are on the ballot for.
I just watched the video on DT’s Telegram feed. This was very recent talking about verge of WW3. I think that for some reason I have a really good memory. I just always have and it’s not always a blessing either. I recall the R Convention 2016 acceptance speech. He used the term Globalist in it. It’s funny because I don’t remember him saying it too often after that but I could be mistaken.
Anyhow in the video I just watched he uses the terms “Globalist, Neocons, Marxists.” That is usually how I refer to them as well. I prefer Trotskyites to Marxists however from where they spawned. Stalin kicked their asses out of there and they spread around to infect other nations.
There seems to be something more profound in that video when he calls them out. Its very much like calling out the enemy or in this case demon. It sounded like a declaration of war IMO. His answer to Tucker about regime change in Russia was vintage Trump (you can’t help but laugh). I mentioned in earlier post this looks like panic. Perhaps this is the answer as to why they are scared.
Actually, President Trump has denounced globalism in quite a few major speeches. If you look up his inaugural speech, his speech at Davos, and his speech to the U.N., he specifically addresses it. All three times, I thought it was a pretty courageous thing to do, considering his audience — and I’m sure it made him an even bigger target of the Deep State. Here’s one clip from his U.N. speech:
No other POTUS in my lifetime has spoken so clearly, and so pointedly embracing our common American values. If JFK had given this same speech … it would be in every textbook written (before about 2002). My President speaks for me. And ai am sure he speaks for what’s written in your hearts as well.
B. Goldwater came close, in his acceptance speech at the 1964 R convention, and R. Reagan’s keynote address just prior, became known for many years since as simply “the speech” although it has been titled “A time for choosing”,..greatest Political speech ever given,…until PDJT.
Add his Oct (12 the or 16th) 2016 speech, and his speech in Poland.
His recent speech at CPAC was very powerful, as well.
Fabian Socialists.
Well said Sundance. We The People shall prevail. Godspeed.
Beautifully written and inspirational! Thank you!
Thank you, Sundance. I keep coming back to read here because I am upset and sad and frustrated that it helps to read what everyone is posting.
Thank you to everyone who is being encouraging. Thank you for the suggestions of what we CAN do. Thank you for the prayers that you share with us.
When I was a child, I read stories of martyrs of the faith. How they resisted evil to the point of their death. I never thought that I would ever face adversity in my insulated life, in a “Christian country” where all around me were Christians.
Good night to all and sleep well, knowing that God is in charge.
Bless you. I am willing to “hang together” when and if the Deep State launches their desperate purge of Patriots.
Amen.
Lofty rhetoric notwithstanding, “remain steadfast in bearing witness” sounds a lot to me like ‘keep watching TV’.
Trump’s daily example warrants a little more effort that redoubled voyeurism.
The LORD Jesus says, “Without me, you can do nothing.” It is a conclusive, unequivocal statement. There is nothing religious about the Power of God. God is not religious. God is God. God is our Father and he hears our prayers. God our Father in Christ, strengthens us as he strengthens President Trump according to His purposes, not ours. Trump is walking on water.
Walking thru fire, and into the Lions den, and I am confident he is carrying a Bible, as he does so.
Terrific post!
Hear, hear!
Thank you SD!, and God Bless DJT!
Quite frankly, been bothering me all day…. Two things…
1st – Good grief – people reaction to the call to “protest”. Antifa, BLM, all lefty ideals, climate change etc can all protest yet the reaction on both sides, some “patriots” here included, was unsettling. Reminded me of being a kid and heading off with small group to confront a bully and when i got to him – looked around and no one was with me but rather cowering at a distance. I kicked him hard in the knee anyways and he left my friend alone after that. Learnt two things that day.
2nd – seems like DJT wants a show of support. No not money, but show of majority, of We the People…. How can we do that ?
Be pretty sad if after all DJT has done for the country and its people, that we didn’t support him when needed…. & we have so much to lose – DJT needs the enemy to see his solid support, and for the lefty minorities to see … Yes – J6’ers are being unjustly punished. This is war and they are patriots. Peace and strength to them… may their unjustly treatment help bring down this corrupt system and reestablish America for the People.
Every patriot needs to be preparing to put down the plow when asked. Mentally start thinking about it, talk with family, talk with others about it, plan & prepare for it. Time for Patriots to toughen up a bit. Everyone has something to contribute.
God Bless, & Thank you for your wise words SD!
Well said!
Actually, he did most grasciously ask for $; and in part these lawfare attacks are intended to drain his financial resources.
If you are hurting, keep your $, but if you benefitted financial from PDJT’s first term actions, if you have some to “spare”,…DONATE.
And, think of it as a way to show support, and stick a thumb in the eye of these barstuds harrassing him.
Link please
They are really draining him badly with all the lawsuits.
SICK how much Court Costs and Legal fees are.
Thank you for this. Very Well Said. They are counting on us buckling again as we have since the 1960’s.
Rather than to be seen acting “UNCOUTH” in Public!
Here’s another way to look at that. Increased car jackings again on a Big Rise…
And this time, they are NOT being Careful to make sure no children are inside.
I saw some folks standing there SCREAMING about the car being stolen with their kids inside.
I’ve also seen a couple where the MOM found SOMETHING TO GRAB HOLD of and began making life HELL for the carjacker.
Yeah, that’s not always gonna end well.
On the other hand, what are the odds the carjacker is going to care what happens to the kids after he makes a clean get away. Lots of them are crashing and getting killed that way themselves, especially if they were already high when they jacked. Not hearing follow-ups on most of those stories.
I have to give High Fives to the Moms who grab that carjacker or something, one way or another.
It’s going to make some future carjackers have some second thoughts.
Amen, SD.
She’s 100% right about this.

You know I’m 100% Trump 2024 but I still love DeSantis as my Governor – but if DeSantis doesn’t come out soon and make a bold statement against this political witch hunt against Trump – the primary is already over.
This is 1,000 times bigger than any Presidential primary. Our country can’t survive with this communist two-tiered justice system. I’m watching this closely to see who will stand on principle, no matter the political fallout, and who will not. This is about saving our country from the enemy from within – not one person’s political future.

Vivek Ramaswamy said something very similar. Personally, I am truly shocked that several other RNC candidates have said nothing today, not even some wishy-washy something that can be interpreted 2 or 3 ways.
Glen Beck interviewed him today. He has very clear eyesight…he said even though he is running for President against DJT, he said Trump is “A Hero”. I liked the way he can differentiate, he has character.
Not a big deal but Catturd is a man. He and Jewels Jones host the In The Litterbox With Jewels And Catturd (M-F) which you can find on Rumble.
sorry lil late dollar short.
2020 was the time to make that call. thought he could make a deal like he thought he could work with the rinos and like he thought
I am not as pessimistic as many here.
There is always “The Law of Unintended Consequences” which comes to bear on brazen wickedness like this.
Many will quickly come to realize you cannot have a republic that functions like this.
I firmly believe this is going to blow up in the faces of these scoundrels and a groundswell of support will arise to lift this persecuted, decent man.
When you do something this rotten to someone, he becomes a martyr and a living legend who can be seen across the globe as well able to withstand the storms of Hell itself.
Isaiah 54:17“No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,”
Well said.
We must be vigilant maintaining our strength if will andvpurpose. Discernment is key. I have no doubt there will be Fediot false flags just like they did wi J6. Use Discernment. Pray for His strength wisdom and guidance in all things. Do not let the devil seize the opportunity.
Democrat kook congresswoman Maxine Waters:
“Most people have never seen or believed that we would have a President who has acted in the way that he has, who has disrespected the Constitution of the United States of America, who has lied, who has tried to organize domestic terrorists, and some believe that he did organize them as they attacked our Capitol on January 6,” Waters said on MSNBC’s Saturday Show.
“When he announces himself, it’s almost like he’s attempting to organize his domestic terrorists to show up and to resist him being arrested. You have to be careful with him.”
“I just wanted to have you…understand that perhaps, he was trying to organize domestic terrorists to protest his arrest. And I think we have to be careful about him making that announcement. He’s doing it for a reason,” she added.
Expect the Sunday talk shows to be full of insane leftwing demagoguery
Talk about the POT calling anyone else out….
Mr Trump is the providential once and future President.
Dear Sundance,
You bring tidings of comfort and joy to me with this post.
Amsterdam-Farmers with tractors disrupted the whole city. I was there and my tour had to be diverted. IOWA! DJT was just in your state Monday reiterating what he did for the farmers. Get on your tractors and make noise!
billy bob clinton paid hush money to paula jones to the tune of $850,000… no crime, no slap on the wrist, no arrest, no indictment. The 2-tiered injustice system has become so lawless and tyrannical that congress must do something or go home. It now has all the machinations of Nazi Germany. And to think that traitor mike pence called Trump a fake christian. Vile, evil all…
Go or Lrnce, that was projection. He will have to answer to God for his actions.
Outstanding and inspirational. Thank you, Sundance.
Thank you Sundance for your words of comfort, encouragement, and hope in this writing. Same for the excellent comments from Treepers (including the video response by Vivek Ramaswamy showing he has a set of cajones most Republicans running for office do not have).
That picture of his Comment made a little After Noon time. A few hours later, I had not seen anything from him, today. But Something was CHANGED. I don’t know how to explain it. But I just felt almost like “hit” (in terms of an Idea suddenly dawning on one), and began praying along very similar lines to what he said. IT IS TIME! This is Time This garbage from our capital has got to stop. and if people don’t know anything better to do, they need to spend some hours talking straight to God, Jesus, The Father, The Holy Spirit – an one of combination of two – or all three of them. We Must Come Together and have one of those Moments I would usually call a “Come To Jesus Moment”.
It is TIME for a Paradigm Shift. Like a Pharaoh Coming To The PARTED RED SEA Moment.
The words that come to my mind are that we need a Paradigm Shift of Great Magnitude, on Scale with this Earth.
It is time for us to Find Words that we know are RIGHT, between us and GOD, On JESUS’ TERMS.
ON HIS TERMS is where our Covenant Strength to Call on His Father comes from, the Covenant Relationship, that is because we have been Bought with THAT PRICE.
This Mess has gone far enough and it is Far beyond the ken of those who are the Perpetrators, to comprehend what they are bringing down on themselves.
Several times in my life as well as in the Bible, I’ve seen evil perps start towards someone who had done them no harm, and with evil hatred in their hearts, and the Lord God Sovereignly stop them. And it was drastic and complete.
There is too much on Both Sides strained so very hard at this point, It is time for the Evil to be stopped.
I pray we can go to the Lord with a Fresh Determination to seek Him…. Dear Lord, what do You need from us that will allow Your Gates to open and pour out whatever it takes to Rescue Your People and the Plans on Earth that Need so much to be loosed, now.
Do what it takes to fit us to do what You sent us here to accomplish, and tear away the bondages that prevent us, In the Name of Jesus, and by His Blood, Amen!
This post was hard to write right, I am having trouble finding words.
I need to clarify. I’m, not looking for the WORDS to SAY that will please HIM, JUST to please HIM with a pretty choice of empty words like pushing buttons.
When I am hunting for words to express something I have no words for, but I am looking for what SAYS what registers in me is, WHAT HE is After, I want that. At that point, it isn’t about “if that is from my heart”… but instead is ‘Does it CLARIFY what HE WANTS FROM ME?’ Does it show that something in my heart or my thinking or my self will that NEEDS to CHANGE because it isn’t right, and I need to choose to give it up, surrender, repent, ask forgiveness, and/or GIVE forgiveness, find a way to do Restitution, make something Right, if possible… If I begin to feel that the words I am finding Express what is keeping me at a Distance from what He is after, I want words that explain it to me, that have a ring in them that it’s what He is trying to express to me, and if I need to align with Him, I need to find what is NOT aligned, in me, with Him, AND GIVE HIM LORDSHIP OVER THAT, by my Freewill CHOICE, because I Choose HIM.
… and study what His WORD says about that If it is something in me or what I’ve done. Or if it is just TIMING, or something else that I just need Patience to let things go the way He wants them to do without me making a trainwreck out of it. To figure out what it means in terms of how I am out of Kilter, and what attitudes or something I did that I need to bring before Him and do whatever it takes for me to FULLY SURRENDER to Him on that issue. Even if it means ACCEPTING that issue AS IT IS. (I know, I am blathering, forgive me, please.)
But whatever it is, I’m not interested in Sales gimmicks. Nothing on This Planet is worth losing HIM over. Especially not my own foolishness, or anything.
Our Founding Fathers did Great Exploits and it cost them far more than America TODAY is paying in too many ways, but they chose to do whatever it took, for us, and it is astonishing to dig deep into the history at what they did to bring us to the point of having the Constitution of the United States of America for our Heritage and our Inheritance, among all other things, and all of them topped by our opportunity through what Our Founders did, for us to Know JESUS as He Really Is.
AMEN! A Name Above Every Name! In Agreement! Thank you, America is in much (NEED) of PRAYER!
JESUS IS the Supreme Need Meeter!
Sundance, you understand a great deal.
You would understand even more and would become more hopeful if you read Jonathan Cahn.
“Return of the Gods” would be a great place to start.
