While golden statues of Donald Trump have been created and displayed, they are either temporary, privately commissioned, or proposed, rather than permanent public monuments. The most notable examples include the Bitcoin statue in Washington, DC, the Don Colossus statue at Trump National Doral, and the proposed library statue, which has not yet been confirmed as real.

Architects create visualizations of planned buildings in various ways that include photoshop and 3D modeling.

It appeared whoever created the video Trump posted had used artificial intelligence to do so. The video carried classic signs of the use of AI including a U.S. flag with 56 stars, garbled text and people with missing fingers or misshapen hands.

They are all throughout his thread. This is the sadness of it all, willful blindness.

Show me the FACTS.
You want I should go through 158 pages of posts to show that there are NO Facts just propaganda and politically motivated influencers?
Ok.

This may take a while, but I have time.
Because the Truth matters more than feelings and opinions.

I suppose you might want to do a bit of history research and consider what other countries were pushing and pulling.
Since WW2 The United Nations was created giving clout to certain entities to make decisions where they thought changes were needed.
Not all choices were made by one country, but some were asked to participate in joint adventures, including the US.

On 25 June 1950, the Korean People's Army (KPA), equipped and trained by the Soviets, launched an invasion of the south. In the absence of the Soviet Union's representative, the UN Security Council denounced the attack and called on member nations to provide military assistance to repel the invasion. The United Nations' forces under the UN Command comprised 21 countries, with the U.S. providing around 90% of military personnel. On 27 June 1950 President Harry S. Truman ordered U.S. air and sea forces to aid South Korea.

Vietnam war was used as a proxy between the Communist North with weapons supplied by Russia and the South wanting a more democratic government which became under oppression by the North and so America took their side to defend them.
Am I even saying that the US hasn't been the provocateur in a lot of conflicts? no I am not. What I am saying is that no country is innocent.


Canada has it's fair share as well.

The first section outlines conflicts that happened in what is now Canada before its confederation in 1867. It lists conflicts such as: the Beaver Wars, Acadian Civil War, and various Anglo-Dutch Wars, highlighting the belligerents involved and the outcomes.

The second section discusses wars involving Canada since its confederation in 1867. It lists conflicts such as: the Fenian Raids, Red River Rebellion, Mahdist War, Canada in World War I and Canada in World War II, detailing the combatants, results, and casualties for each event. Ongoing conflicts and military operations, such as the military intervention against the Islamic State and involvement in maritime security operations in response to Houthi attacks are also covered.


A lot of wars were fought during British Colonization before there even was an America.

Here's the thing though, you keep looking back as if this administration is the same as the past ones. It's not.
This is not a Bush Cheney Admin or a Obama Admin or a Clinton or a Carter or even a Reagan Administration.

We know we have been getting ripped off by our own government for a long time now. And we want change.
We are tired of forever wars that only create more wars.
We believe that we are witnessing the war that ends all wars.
And I'm not talking about Iran. I'm talking about a corrupt global system that has been controlling what we hear, what we see, what they teach us, and what they haven't taught us.
We are tired of the mouse trap and the slave mentality.
We want our FREEDOM back.
Our government needs a complete overhaul, it has been abused for over 100 years.
Nowhere in our Constitution was written that personal wealth was to be taxed. That didn't begin until 1913 when we let the globalist Federal Reserve Bank take over the monetary system. Which itself is controlled by the Central Bank in Europe.
All roads lead to Britain in this case.

You don't know what we know. We have learned a lot over the last 10 years.
We didn't fall for the fake news and propaganda. Death to America was allowed to be breathed inside it's very gates.
Most the people making our laws in congress aren't even American. Or if they are, a lot of them are communists.

There was a regime change in 2024. We took our country back. You are watching the fallout between those that refuse to give up their power over the people, to those who want to serve the people. But they have convinced many that we are the bad guys because we want closed borders, less crime, better living standards, less chemicals in our food and air and water, less fraud and abuse, less taxes and the ability to climb whatever ladder you choose. Better health, better medicine, Justice, Law and Order. Safety and less crime.

It began in 2016 but they tried everything to stop what was coming.
Even rigging an election to Joe Biden who was nothing more than a puppet in the hands of the establishment.
They tried to put Trump in prison. They tried to take away his businesses. They tried to assassinate him twice maybe 3 times.
They raided his home. They tried to remove him from the ballot. They went after his family.

But nothing was going to stop what is coming.

This is what I voted for 3 times. And I will doit again.


If you listen you might even agree that what is said is the truth.
But you won't hear because you have too much hate in your heart for the message bearer that you can't hear the message.

We're done with the old ways. Now is the time of the changing of the guard and the globalist cabal are panicking.
And what you are witnessing is the greatest mind control propaganda machine working in the minds of those who can't receive the truth.

This Is The Plan.
And No One Can Stop What Is Coming
NCSWIC
But can anything or anyone stop what has been prophesied to happen? Out of the frying pan into the fire.......what if this is just a matter of trouncing and replacing one worldly system with another, which in itself will receive its own trouncing in the end. A sinful, unrepentant nation crying out, "Oh Lord you deceived us...you promised us peace but there is no peace."

It just seems to show how desperate people are that they would give power to someone whose personal character and life is what it is. Am I mistaken in thinking that no way would Christians have nominated and voted for such as this even 30 years ago....? Used to be that one indiscretion or stain was enough to finish someone's political career. But the people seem willing to overlook so much now, or deceive themselves, as long as they think they will get the result that they want. I can remember a time when "the ends justifies the means" was anathema.

In reality, most of the people that are elected in this world are definitely not perfect.
Knowing what we know about William Jefferson Clinton and cigars in the oval office with an intern, do you think Christians voted for the man or the policies he proposed?

John F Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe. A known womanizer.

We didn't vote for Trump because he was a saint. We voted for him because he spoke the truth concerning the condition our country was in and offered solutions to change the course.
You are watching this ship turning away from self destruction.

As far as can anything or anyone stop what has been prophesied to happen?
The answer is Yes absolutely, God can.

The only ones who will be crying Oh Lord you deceived us are the FAKE Christians who say they have faith and yet prove they do not.

Grover Cleveland had a reputation for being quite the ladies man. While practicing law in Buffalo, New York, Cleveland had a romance with a young woman named Maria Crofts Halpin. Years later, Halpin accused Cleveland of fathering her son, Oscar. Cleveland did not deny it, and while never admitting paternity, did send her child support. When he ran for president in 1884, that dalliance came back to bite him, as his opponents rallied around the slogan, “Ma ma, where’s my pa, gone to the White House, ha ha ha.” Still, Cleveland prevailed in the election to become president (an office he lost in the subsequent election, and then regained in 1892).

Lyndon Baines Johnson competed with John Kennedy in realms beyond politics. Referring to JFK’s sexual voraciousness, LBJ once claimed, “I have had more women by accident than he has had on purpose.” It might have actually been true. A woman named Madeline Brown claimed to have had a 20-year affair with Johnson, which she said was purely physical, and produced, she says, her son. If so, LBJ was working her on the side, as he also, according to Johnson biographer Robert Caro, was conducting a 30-year affair with a woman named Alice Glass, beginning in 1937. Alice was the wife of a newspaper magnate who owned papers that strongly supported Johnson. The affair ended in 1967, apparently because Alice was vehemently antiwar. It seems the war ruined more than Johnson’s political career.

Warren Harding’s administration was riddled with corruption, bribery and general ineptness. Though immensely popular with the electorate, he was a terrible president. It didn’t matter to him though, as he was busy carrying on with various women in the White House closet. Besides a long affair with Carrie Fulton Phillips, the wife of his friend James Phillips, Harding was also having his way with Nan Britton, a woman 30 years younger than him. That affair produced an illegitimate daughter. Florence Harding was not unaware of her husband’s shenanigans, and when Harding died, in office, in 1923 from a case of ptomaine poisoning (probably contracted from eating contaminated crabmeat), rumors circulated that it was Florence herself who poisoned the President.

James Buchanan
An openly gay president would generate headlines, although one hopes that in today’s more tolerant America, it wouldn’t be considered scandalous. But roughly 1 in 35 adult Americans identify as gay, and we’ve had 44 presidents … you do the math. In all likelihood we have had our first gay president, and unfortunately for the gay community, it’s James Buchanan, 15th president of the United States, and number one on many a list of worst presidents ever. A practitioner of “do nothing and maybe it will go away” style of leadership, Buchanan presided over the country as it slid into civil war (while arguing that secession of states was illegal, he also proclaimed that going to war against them was illegal). The country’s only lifelong bachelor president, Buchanan was not without a partner. He lived with William Rufus King, a former vice-president under Millard Fillmore, for 10 years. Buchanan and King were apparently the talk of the town. Andrew Jackson referred to them as Miss Nancy and Aunt Fancy (a term at the time for a man with effeminate qualities). Others referred to King as Buchanan’s “better half,” and in a letter to former president James Polk’s wife, King was referred to as Buchanan’s “wife…rigged out in her best clothes.”


Rom 3:10
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

I wish people stop taking the moral high ground and realize we are all pretty much in the same boat.

Rom 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

It's not about the man, it's about the policies that we want to implement in this country to make our way of life better for We the People.
To create a more stable future for generations to come, if we can do that before the woke left destroy and disfigure all of our children.

No one had a problem with Biden when his daughter Ashley wrote in her diary that Joe took showers with his 11 year old daughter.
Or how he hung out with little boys in the pool and let them rub his legs.
Not my words, his.

Find the perfect person to run for office and I can guarantee you that he/she wouldn't get elected.
Because people thrive on rumors and debauchery. It is in human nature.
That is why we need salvation from ourselves.
And the only one that can save us is Jesus Christ.

SO in the meantime, I will put my hope in the people who most closely align with my hope for a better future.
They may not be perfect, but God can make the imperfect perfect.
And I trust God.

The new guy in town ( Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf) just said about tomorrow :

Two of the measures mutually agreed upon between the parties have yet to be implemented: a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of Iran’s blocked assets prior to the commencement of negotiations. These two matters must be fulfilled before negotiations begin.”

Meaning Vance can go home.

These guys are impossible.

We really don't have a lot of skin in the game at this point.
Iran's long range capabilities I believe no longer exist.
Whatever uranium there is is buried under tons of rubble.
Who it does effect are those who transport goods in the Strait of Hormuz.
That would be China, Europe, and the local surrounding countries.
We don't need Iran's oil.
Our markets may get smaller due to less imported goods from Eastern countries, but our own manufacturing is being rebuilt.

Why should we defend the Hormuz when others who rely on it more are unwilling to participate?
Lebanon is filled with Iranian terrorist proxy's like Hezbollah.
That is not the US's problem, that is Israel's and other surrounding countries.

If we had not intervened in taking out Iran's nuclear and ballistic capabilities then next week they would be chanting Death to America with a bomb attached to it.
And if not US, then London, Brussels, Paris, not to mention the UAE, Saudi, Jordan.... etc.

They would select who could or couldn't use the strait restricting flow to the highest toll bearer.
Or perhaps only China using the Yuan would be allowed to flow unimpeded.

We weren't willing to wait and find out.

The Lord is enraged against all nations.
The news this morning:

Israel keeps bombing, the Strait of Hormuz remains throttled, inflation is rising, Europe is running low on jet fuel, and America’s allies are already building a future that routes around Washington. But Trump said he won. The economic fallout is now spreading exactly the way critics warned it would.​

Copied from "REALLY AMERICAN":

Quote:

BREAKING: Democrats are demanding Trump submit to a public cognitive test — and the details are alarming.
House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin has sent an official letter to White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella demanding a cognitive screening with results released publicly by April 24. In the letter, Raskin states that Americans have watched Trump's public statements turn "increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane, deranged, and threatening."

This isn't coming from anonymous sources. This is a formal, official demand from a senior member of Congress — in writing — to the President's own doctor.

And here's what makes it worse.
Trump has repeatedly bragged about taking cognitive tests since returning to office. He's brought it up himself, unprompted, multiple times. Yet when reporters ask the White House for the actual results? Silence. Evasion. Nothing.

You don't brag about a test you passed and then refuse to show the results. That's not how confidence works. That's how cover-ups work.
Raskin is also demanding the White House physician appear before Congress under oath.
Under. Oath.

This is not a political stunt. This is elected officials doing exactly what they are supposed to do when a 79-year-old president is making threats about destroying civilizations before breakfast and posting all-caps meltdowns at dawn.

The question is no longer whether Democrats are concerned. The question is whether Republicans will keep looking the other way.

You don't want the truth, Ziggy. If you did, you would have heard the voice of the Lord revealing to you what is going on. The facts have been stated throughout this thread. If you want to participate in the conversation, you should read what has been posted rather than jumping in and assuming things. I'm not going to do the legwork for you. It's all over this thread ....and right in front of everyone's noses. Those who love the truth have eyes to see what is plainly in front of our faces.

Call me a hater all you want because I state WHAT I KNOW and what I have HEARD from GOD. I won't compromise.

When asked about Fox news being aired in Canada on Page 3 of this thread.
The reply was:

In which I fully agree.

Opinions are not FACTS.
You pick this one post out of hundreds with verifiable facts about the US government and the lawless deeds of Trump and his faction .....okay. I'm not going to continue a back and forth since I see the intention is not genuine.

Trump on Truth Social

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

~~~~~~~~~~

No gossip.
I love this post.
I tell you why. This is one of those posts that drive the left lunatic.
Now I know sometimes it's difficult to think outside the box.
But I really want you to try to put some thought into what is being said.

Power Plant Day.
You all thinking nuclear I can hear it buzzing in your minds.

Plant Day.
We gonna be doing some very powerful planting.
What needs to be planted?
Maybe certain people in certain seats who have the ability to negotiate and think rationally.
The Interior of the Iran Regime are beginning to fight among themselves as to who should be the one negotiating.
You have your die hard IRGC, willing to die to destroy the world type.
Then you have your more reasonable moderate leaders that think negotiating would be a good idea.

We're not going to be taking out power plants and bridges.

Bridge Day.

OMG all the bridges are going to be destroyed!! Reeee.

Now try this.. ready..
Maybe Bridge Day is a day for building bridges, meaning relationships, cooperation.

Just this morning the Vice President went to Pakistan to meet with whoever has the best chance in Iran of negotiating.
What I do know, is that one of the more moderate plants that was going to negotiate, has had his house literally stoned tonight by the more rigid and unapproachable IRGC members.

So there is turmoil in the house, and some want to negotiate while others want to hold the line.

See here's the thing. I'll just leave this one word.
Parables.
Mat 16:11
How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

Power Plants and Bridges.

Open your mind and expand your thinking.

Mat 16:12
Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Stop listening to the Pharisees and Sadducees aka mainstream media.
They are bought and sold propagandists, to muddy the waters and tell you how you should hear and what you should think.

My question would be, who are the "Plants" ?
And what kind of power if any do they have to build a Bridge?

So much going on...

China is having a bad day.

Just goes to prove that politics belong to the world, not the kingdom of God. And these scandals were not known to the public at the time they were elected though, were they...if they had been, I strongly doubt those men would have been elected. My point is that Christians (as well as society in general) sure seem to be lowering their standards these days. The world will do what the world will do, but shouldn't believers and the church be better than that...? And not to mention there is a big difference between personal sin between consenting adults as opposed to heinous crimes that do great harm to others.....especially children.

Well God has a Kingdom and He has rules and Laws. Some may call that politics.
Moses was a political leader. David's Kingdom was political.
What is politics?

Politics is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of status or resources.

So we could take this all the way back to the war in Heaven where:
In the Book of Enoch, the angel that led the rebellion is Semyaza. He is described as the chief leader of the Watchers who descended to Earth and became involved in a pact with human women, leading to the birth of the Nephilim and the subsequent rebellion against God. This rebellion resulted in significant consequences for both the Watchers and humanity, as they taught forbidden knowledge and practices that contributed to moral decay and violence.

There is Moses who was challenged by Korah and Company in Numbers chapter 16.
Then there is Saul and David.

Politics and religion go hand in hand.

Many of the scandals with past Presidents were known, but back in those days your personal life and your public life was mostly kept secret.
Today everyone's personal life is put on display and used as political weapons against their opponenants.


The world will do what the world will do, but shouldn't believers and the church be better than that...?

I believe Paul asked the same question several times. Here is the problem. It's a small word with a lot of power, it's called EGO.

The Judicial system was established under Moses, as was the Legislative and Executive branches.
You could say that Moses was the Jury, the Judge, and the Executioner.

As we come into the new age when Jesus came into the picture, both Religion and Politics was controlled by the High Priests, Pharisees, Sadducees. And when Rome took power, they controlled the civic laws.

Jesus never condemned the structure, he condemned that they were abusing their power and being hypocritical towards the people they were supposed to protect.

Luk 11:46
And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

Even our own Congress create laws for others while creating loopholes for themselves.

This world isn't perfect that's for sure.

But when God sets His Kingdom smack dab in the middle of this earth, do you believe their will be no laws? No consequences for bad actions?

Rev 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Rev 22:15
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

I haven't found a President yet that has been found guilty and condemned at the law for abusing children.
A lot of accusations and gossip, but no proof, no facts. Just words used as political weapons against their opponents.

You think if people had read Ashley's diary before they voted for Joe Biden that they would of held him accountable?
Even after that knowledge came out, they still supported him.

Look, There is evil in the world. And for some reason children are the easiest targets. They can't defend themselves.
Even when laws are introduced to punish those that do such things, others vote them down. It's amazing.
But it's always been this way. And the only one that can change anything in their own life is you.
And if enough you's get together we might be able to make the world a better place.
But you will always have bad people. Since the beginning of time.

Politics began in heaven and will always be the structure by which the world is controlled.

You can't separate Politics and Religion. They are the same thing.

The only difference that we have in the United States is that The Government has no power to choose which religion will be the dominant one and be able to dictate it's own rules.

The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual’s religious practices. It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely. It also guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peaceably and to petition their government.

This is the actual meaning of seperation of church and state. The Congress is FORBIDDEN from promoting one religion over others and RESTRICTING an individuals religious practices.

And the very fact that Congress is the one that made this Law, it is also political.

Pick any topic that has to do with the governance of society and let's see if we don't base that governance on biblical principles somehow.

Just one.

Well God has a Kingdom and He has rules and Laws. Some may call that politics.
Moses was a political leader. David's Kingdom was political.
What is politics?

Politics is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of status or resources.

So we could take this all the way back to the war in Heaven where:
In the Book of Enoch, the angel that led the rebellion is Semyaza. He is described as the chief leader of the Watchers who descended to Earth and became involved in a pact with human women, leading to the birth of the Nephilim and the subsequent rebellion against God. This rebellion resulted in significant consequences for both the Watchers and humanity, as they taught forbidden knowledge and practices that contributed to moral decay and violence.

There is Moses who was challenged by Korah and Company in Numbers chapter 16.
Then there is Saul and David.

Politics and religion go hand in hand.

Many of the scandals with past Presidents were known, but back in those days your personal life and your public life was mostly kept secret.
Today everyone's personal life is put on display and used as political weapons against their opponenants.


The world will do what the world will do, but shouldn't believers and the church be better than that...?

I believe Paul asked the same question several times. Here is the problem. It's a small word with a lot of power, it's called EGO.

The Judicial system was established under Moses, as was the Legislative and Executive branches.
You could say that Moses was the Jury, the Judge, and the Executioner.

As we come into the new age when Jesus came into the picture, both Religion and Politics was controlled by the High Priests, Pharisees, Sadducees. And when Rome took power, they controlled the civic laws.

Jesus never condemned the structure, he condemned that they were abusing their power and being hypocritical towards the people they were supposed to protect.

Luk 11:46
And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

Even our own Congress create laws for others while creating loopholes for themselves.

Yes, I agree that the laws of western civilization were based on or influenced mostly by the bible. ( The concept of democracy came from the Greeks and Romans though, if I recall.) Nevertheless we have to distinguish and SEPARATE between governments and the church. Distinguish between the holy and profane/common, as the bible says, and don't conflate the two. Romans 13 speaks to the role of government under God's sovereign rule, but that is not the mandate given to the church.

And just to add that David's rulership and kingdom was a type/shadow/allegory for the kingdom of God. It isn't meant to be a template for the church in a literal sense.

Rubio is side lined. Will he be next to be fired? The cracks are getting bigger.......View attachment 82821
Oh Look, somebody made a Meme! Hoorah!

Rom 1:28
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31
Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Whisperers...

Psa 41:7
All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

Isa 29:4
And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

What is the source of the Meme you posted above?

And like the Iran thing is the only thing going on in the world.
What about Cuba, or Haiti, or the Congo, or Uganda, or Ukraine....
What about China and Russia.

You think Rubio is sitting on his hands behind a desk?

It's amazing how many people who consider themselves patriotic Christian Americans actually hate this country so much and want to see it fail.
But I guess that's why God made Communists.
Because they have no faith.

Oh, I see, if your fellow Americans don't agree with Trump they must be communists.
And of course they have no faith, i.o.w. they are not Christians.

Narrow minded.
But I guess some people are like that.

Have a great sunday.

I hear the talks in Pakistan failed.
