Great facebook message and responses
I’ve never said that I was certain of President Trump’s “Christianity.” Frankly, I don’t know what his status is with the Lord. I’ve been a Christian long enough…and in ministry long enough…and disappointed in others and even MYSELF enough to KNOW that people can let you down. Their “label” might not match their life. I’m thinking specifically of a Christian apologist my dad and many, many others admired and studied from that was “discovered” to be terribly flawed.
No, I don’t know President Trump’s personal relationship with Jesus. I do know three things, though. First of all

We are all flawed Christians. No Christian has ever walked the Earth that has not been a flawed Christian. Jesus Christ died on the cross to forgive us our flaws and sins. All anyone has to do is to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and his flaws and sins will be absolved. And I don’t know President Trump’s status with the Lord any more than anyone else does, but judging from the events of 2024, and at Butler PA in particular, I’d say he’s in pretty good shape.

Nice. I like that too.
California Assembly member Carl De Maio (R) San Diego, has two new videos. The first one is about three minutes, I think. Both can be watched comfortably at 1.5 speed.
#1) Voter ID qualifies for the November ballot.
#2) Dirty D’s in Sacramento attempted to slip in language that would increase taxes on privately owned ICE facilities to 50% which would lead to closure.
Some hard truth from a Catholic nun.
Prevost is as much of a disgrace as Bergoglio was. Another anti-Christian, Muslim agent Anti-Pope. Sent by Satan to it on the throne of Saint Peter. Christians world-wide have to save their faith from the treachery of the anti-pope church. Set up their own churches separate from the corrupt church in Rome. Preach the Faith as Jesus preached it, without interference from a corrupt and evil Anti-Papacy.
While I understand her upset, to be fair, Satan entered the Vatican long ago.
A soldier used classified intel to make $409K on Polymarket. Arrested. 5 federal charges. Assets seized.
Congress traded $635 million last year. The STOCK Act has produced zero prosecutions in 14 years. Maximum fine: $200. Routinely waived.
The STOCK Act was signed with 14 pens in 2012. Its searchable database was repealed 11 months later by voice vote on a Friday evening. No cameras. No podium. It took 4 pages to remove the only part of the law that worked.
This is not new. The pattern is 60 years old.
Abu Ghraib: 11 enlisted soldiers convicted. The Secretary of Defense who authorized the techniques was never charged. The lawyer who wrote the torture memo got a federal judgeship.
The 2008 financial crisis: 1 banker went to prison. 10 million families lost their homes. The CEO whose bank paid $13 billion in fraud settlements got a 74% raise.
Iran-Contra: A Lieutenant Colonel took the fall. The President pardoned the witnesses 11 days before his own trial testimony.
The institution prosecutes at the lowest rank, at the lowest cost, so the briefing slides can say enforcement exists.
The $409K is not the crime. It is the cost of making $635 million look supervised.
I wrote the full investigation. 33 footnotes. 60 years of receipts.

Another radical leftist woman. I’m not a sexist, but I’m very tired of these lunatic communist women. I’m tired of the lunatic communist men too, but there seems to be many more of these screeching hyena b—–s, and I think a reckoning is needed soon. Feminism has given us Wokism, and its degenerate disciples like this woman.
What is the cure for rabid dogs?

Trump: Iran Is on a Deadline, Oil Infrastructure Soon to Be Damaged by Lack of Exports
Iran has only about 20 million barrels of spare onshore storage capacity. With surplus production of 1.5 million barrels per day unable to be exported, those tanks fill in just 13 days, a hard physical deadline that diplomatic maneuvering cannot alter. Once storage is full, production must halt, and halting production triggers irreversible geological damage.
Forced shut-ins after as few as four days break reservoir pressure balance, drive water and gas intrusion, and trigger paraffin buildup that clogs tubing and pores. The specific mechanism is called water coning: when production stops, water sitting below the oil pushes upward into the well, trapping oil in rock pores where it becomes difficult or impossible to extract.
The result is a permanent loss of output. Iran’s fields were already declining at 5–8% per year before the U.S. blockade began. Forced shutdowns could permanently eliminate 300,000 to 500,000 barrels per day of production capacity, equivalent to $9–15 billion in annual revenue that cannot be recovered.
The blockade producing this pressure is deliberate. Treasury Secretary Bessent has signaled a strategy of inflicting long-term damage to Iran’s oil infrastructure without direct military force. Restarting shut-in wells can take months and cost billions, and in some cases production never fully returns.

WAYNE ROOT: Read the Shocking Story of A Obama and Hillary Criminal Scandal, Conspiracy and Coverup- That Until Now No One Knew About. I Have the American Hero and Whistleblower Who is a Witness to the Crime and is Willing to Testify.
Brad was a successful Swiss private banker with many of the wealthiest American businessmen and women as his clients. These wealthy Americans were hiding their money offshore, in Swiss banks, to evade U.S. taxes.
After resigning from his comfortable job at UBS in Switzerland, Brad made the decision to voluntarily walk into the DOJ in Washington, DC, to reveal the secret numbered bank accounts of 19,000 Americans hiding tens of billions of dollars at UBS in Switzerland.
It turns out that most of them were large donors to Obama, Hillary, and the Democrat Party.
In one remarkable act, Brad brought down the entire veil of hundreds of years of Swiss banking secrecy.
Do you remember who the leaders of America were back in 2009 when Brad was negotiating with the DOJ? President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.
Brad naturally assumed he would be celebrated, thanked, and protected by the U.S. government for risking his life and giving up his lucrative banking career to help the US government collect tens of billions of dollars in stolen tax money.
Instead, the Obama Department of Justice persecuted and prosecuted Brad, putting him in prison for thirty months. Why would they do that?
To protect thousands of Democrat donors in these files of tax cheats.

It’s scary to me how much the liberal movement has been hicked by the enemies of Western civilization.
Their goal is to dismantle our society so they can rule over the ashes.
But our freedom is sacred because it comes from GOD, not government. That is why surrender is simply not an option.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is letting Iranian oil tankers travel for days, sometimes thousands of miles, then seizing them right before delivery.
The 4 Iranian-linked tankers seized in the past 2 weeks: the Sabine, Donara, Tiffany, and Daraya.
Iran runs a “shadow fleet” to dodge sanctions and funnel oil to Chinese buyers. That trade brings in $40-50 billion a year, roughly 90% of its export revenue.
The U.S. has figured out the routes, the buyers, and the timing.
