Anyone else tired of being sold a pig and a poke? I know I am. Donald Trump sold us a lie. That lie was America first, or MAGA, for short. But now what do we hear? Well we were going to do America first, but politics is... too hard.

Well politics is hard; It's difficult to be the President of 350 million people. But this is the job Trump ran for, and now he has it because we put him there. Now he's backpedaling on America first and he's adopted the neocon ideology of Israel first.

You oppose giving Israel billions of dollars in foreign aid to conduct a genocide in Gaza while Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and our veterans get absolutely nothing? I don't want your support, says Trump. Or if you're Marjorie Taylor Green, he'll just call you a traitor...


He was elected to put an end to the wars. The Ukraine war is still raging, and now this administration is apparently entertaining the idea of going to war with Venezuela...


So let me get this straight. Trump's new plan is to start new wars, continue funding the wars we're already in, proxy or otherwise, suppprt ethnic cleansing in Gaza, and gaslight Americans into believing that inflation is down, that the high cost of groceries is a figment of their imaginations, and that Israel needs the government's support more than Americans do?

I would say to vote Democrat in the midterms to punish this fat New York sack of crap, but they're bought and paid for too. Remember Joe Biden? That's okay, he doesn't either. But I give him a little bit of credit; he did more to try to stop the Israelis than Trump ever did. He at least spoke out against the atrocities that everyone was witnessing by saying the Israeli conduct in Gaza was "over the top", even if he ultimately failed to make a difference...


But I'll tell you this: both of these parties have been captured by lobbies that represent foreign interests and the military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about decades ago. They don't represent the American people anymore, and I'm happy to see that more Americans are waking up to this fact, especially on the Republican side of the isle.

It took them a little bit longer to wake up, but that's probably due to many of them being Christian and believing that we must support Israel no matter what because "God's chosen people" and all that other assorted lunacy.

But even Christians have their limits on supporting genocide it would seem. Would Jesus be cool with 20,000 children being systemically exterminated for the ambitious idea of "Greater Israel"? I have my doubts.

"Well, if we don't support Israel, God will smite America!", says Lindsay Graham. These are the people in charge. This is the mantra. If you don't tow this insane line, you're labeled antisemitic or a traitor or both.

America first was supposed to drain the swamp, remember that? And now Trump has become a swamp creature. He's just another Bolton, another Cheney, another Bush, another Rumsfeld.

No, what I’m tired of is all the lies being thrown around to make what we have now sound bad. What we have is a whole lot better than the alternative. The other side openly supports killing unborn babies ~Exodus 20:13, twisting gender and marriage ~Genesis 1:27, Romans 1:26 to 27, putting men in women’s sports and calling it equality when God is not the author of confusion ~1 Corinthians 14:33, corrupting kids with perversion, silencing Christians when “we must obey God rather than men” ~Acts 5:29, and celebrating sin instead of calling people to repent ~Isaiah 5:20, Luke 13:3.

So no, I’m not tired of President Trump. I’m tired of the nonstop lies being used to tear down what is actually good and to justify what God clearly calls evil.

The entire article you wrote was not based on truth. It was rage filled accusations. And Scripture tells us to, “Judge with right judgment” ~John 7:24. None of your posts lined up with actual facts.

President Trump never lied about America First. He strengthened our economy, secured our border, rebuilt our military, forced NATO to pay their fair share, cut taxes for working families, and worked to end endless wars. Those are not slogans. Those are actions. “By their fruits you shall know them” ~Matthew 7:20.

You spout the word “genocide” with ZERO evidence. Bearing false witness is against Scripture ~Exodus 20:16. God condemns that directly. Dissenting from policy doesn’t give you the right to falsely accuse someone of a crime you cannot possibly prove.

You say he wants to start more wars, yet he was the first modern president to not start a war. He worked for peace through strength. He pushed the bad actors instead of sending American troops out to bleed and die on foreign soil. It is the exact opposite of what you have been falsely accusing him of.

You claim he abandoned America for Israel, but you cannot point to ONE policy where he put Israel before the American people. Supporting an ally NEVER overrode his America First principles.

You mock and attack, but not one of your claims have a shred of facts to support them. Scripture is clear that both slander and false accusations are sinful. “The one who speaks truth gives honest evidence” ~Proverbs 12:17. Your post gives no honest evidence. It is just rage filled emotion.

If you want to attack President Trump, do so with truth, not hyperbole. Do so with facts, not rage. Anything less is just parroting talking points that melt away under the slightest light of scrutiny.

I don't really care about the culture war stuff. It's a distraction from the bigger issues of the day.

I'll give him credit for forcing NATO allies to pay more and doing more to secure the southern border. But the rest of it is bunk. He said he would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours; those are his own words. He said he would put an end to the war in Gaza. That hasn't happened either. Now he has Venezuela in his sights. There's been talk of going back to Afghanistan. These are facts.

You spout the word “genocide” with ZERO evidence. Bearing false witness is against Scripture ~Exodus 20:16. God condemns that directly. Dissenting from policy doesn’t give you the right to falsely accuse someone of a crime you cannot possibly prove.
Almost 65,000 people dead and counting. That's not a war. Gaza has been reduced to rubble. These are unlivable conditions. If the goal of the Israeli government is to destroy Hamas, then the Israeli leadership is either extremely incompetent, or they're lying about their intentions.

You say he wants to start more wars, yet he was the first modern president to not start a war. He worked for peace through strength. He pushed the bad actors instead of sending American troops out to bleed and die on foreign soil. It is the exact opposite of what you have been falsely accusing him of.
When you attack another country militarily, that's war. He's attacked multiple countries since returning to office. Sure, he hasn't put boots on the ground. But is that really what war is now? If China were to attack the U.S. with a missle strike, would Trump consider that an act of war? Of course he would.

You claim he abandoned America for Israel, but you cannot point to ONE policy where he put Israel before the American people. Supporting an ally NEVER overrode his America First principles.
The United States gives Israel around 4 billion dollars in aid annually. I think that money would be better spent in the United States for the benefit of Americans.

Unfortunately,those who Troll MAGA,Conservatives, Christians, appear to think the lies they manufacture will become truth if they repeat them in enough places.


It'll last as long as Trump is in office. And beyond.

If he would have fallen to that assassin months ago,those same people would have openly celebrated the way evil people did when Charlie Kirk was murdered.

“By their fruits you shall know them” ~Matthew 7:20.
Indeed, by their fruits you shall know them.

For instance, Karoline Leavitt, is wealthy.
She is married into privilege.
She could work anywhere.

Yet she chooses to lie, to fawn over a convicted sexual abuser and felon, to mock due process.

She chooses to defend the illegal deportation of asylum seekers to foreign prisons and
to brush off the weaponization of the Department of Justice like it’s no big deal.


She prays before her briefings, wears a cross for everybody to see, but her prayers serve no God of mercy.

Yes, by their fruits YOU shall know them.

Amen. Amongst other things, I was sick of the transgender and gay agenda being pushed onto little innocent children in the schools.

True, I agree.

But we all know the enemy will throw in a few good things in order to get support.
That's how people are fooled. That's how satan works.

I'm surprised the American public voted Mr Trump in. My evaluation of the man right from the outset was and is that he is untruthful.
That said, I'm not really that surprised. The 'diet' fed Americans and exported to the rest of the world is one of showmanship. In other words, a front to conceal truth.

You must not know much about Kamala Harris who ran against Trump.

We in California voted against gay marriage twice. She was our attorney general....the gays kept taking our vote to court until our votes were overturned. She performed the first gay marriage here and was proud of that.

She is also for abortion and the transgender agenda being taught to our children in schools...as young as Kindergarten.

Just a brief clip...she hosted a man with a beard who was wearing a dress at the White House.

We have few choices. It was either him or Harris, and Harris was just a continuation of the Biden administration by other means. For his part, Trump at least represented a hope that we could finally have an American first led government. But what we got was a pig and a poke and buisness as usual.

So your preference is a man who is untruthful to a woman who supports transgender?

God put him in the position. Strange how many Christians think the verse only applies to US government leaders or only to “good” government leaders.
Would you say that applies to Nero as well?
