The kingdoms of this world do not ruin my day on a regular basis. I rarely think about them except:
1. When reading MN
2. When using the treadmill or bike at the gym, where the row of TVs are in my line of sight. Interestingly, I just thought about this, they have Fox on the left and CNN on the right.

People continue to listen to the same biased outlets of Trump & Musk haters and never seem to hear the good.

I’m really getting fed up. These same people showed absolute zero concern for the harm open borders caused so many- NO compassion or outrage. No demands of transparency for all the decades of fraud that we were totally unaware of.
People are being duped to make the good guys be the bad guys and think what we had was the good guys, yes, it is working- go ahead people and ascribe evil motives for people that are trying to help us- and keep endorsing the evil we had under the guise of compassion when none of these outraged now, were upset about the harm of what we had.

WE had to learn to trust that God is sovereign & cope with all that was painful to watch happening under the Clinton administration, under the Obama administration, under the Biden administration. You don’t think we were hurting to see what was taking place? Of course we were. You don’t believe in voting, so keep praying. To many, prayers are being answered when we see something is finally being done about what we believed to be wrong.

Pray & trust God, that’s how I have coped with the administrations I believed to be evil. Furthering evil, allowing evil, and no, it was not out of “compassion “ if you believe that is so, you really don’t understand how the left’s
agenda is.

For two kingdom people I don’t understand how your focus on this kingdom seems to ruin your day every day. It seems contrary to what you convey for the reasons you don’t vote.

It’s just so weird to me none of you that are upset now, were upset at all the evil, murdering , drugs, sex trafficking, abortion, etc but your falling for the medias influence. They are trying to make you upset & your playing into their hands.
These are the same people who accused us of lying about Biden’s condition and we find out THEY were lying & covering it up. Think about it. If we could discern his condition before he was elected, why should we trust your discernment now.
Coincidentally, i just listened to this interview that tackles the PROGRESSIVE GROUP THINK problem head-on! :shock:
THE HILL / Robbie Soave / Uri Berliner

THE HILL is not conservative. They often try to present opposing sides.

THE HILL / NPR's Katherine Maher APOLOGIZES For Calling Trump Fascist; DEFUND 'Left-Wing' Outlet? Uri Berliner / -11min
Description:
The Free Press editor and writer Uri Berliner, also the former business editor at NPR,
weighs in on the congressional hearing examining funding for public radio and PBS.

Uri Berlner believes NPR should admit they’re a biased progressive outlet AND REFUSE fed funding!
Saying it’s not a lot of money, anyway, they could seek private donors.
[as discussed on forum for years.]

Robby goes on to describe how he sees IRL how progressives exist in a progressive world that is UNAWARE of other thinking.
[as discussed on forum for years.]

My time stamps to help find highlights:
3:30 hyper progressive bias. refuse fed funds.
6:00 out of touch. rigid.
7:00 group think.
7:45 lack of awareness

i would add to their discussion, Katharine Maher, and other “professional journalists” should be held to a higher standard than every ordinary guy on the internet. (Wrt opinions, speculation, free speech.) Journalism versus propaganda.

i appreciate the LIGHT OF DAY is bringing results. at long last.
There’s more on Katharine Maher’s (revealing) testimony, Credible News, P.86

Well, many of us know that there never were "open borders." That was just a political talking point that showed the person using it did not know about the situation.

Do you have an explanation for how we have 10-30 million illegal aliens in our country now?

i added a lengthy post, i think relates, P.6, “I think we are in trouble”
viewtopic.php?t=7759&start=50

WHAT IF? -
illegal immigration were made a felony? and, why not?

it seems, as a misdemeanor it’s done major damage to the legal system, and culture.
for most of my life, i didn’t distinguish between misdemeanors and felonies. breaking the law was breaking the law.
i didn’t want to break the law. not concerned about labels. i want to be law-abiding.

i believe this was a COMMON view. and healthy. esp from a Christian pov.

i’m not at ease with current attitudes, regardless of crimes, “it’s just a misdemeanor”.
That seems warped.

would making it a felony deter POOR POLICY MAKERS? (in my view, the central problem.)
