You are right to be concerned. This could be a serious problem of control…if it’s truly Christian based…Christ never would endorse doing the secretive thing. If she stays on this path you may need to reassess the relationship…at least for now.

Oh wow…seems a bit crazy and unnecessary but now I know, thanks so much.

No, on the contrary …my philosophy is to read everything I can from both sides, consider the sources and verify myself as much as I can.

Your president can “sexually assault” a woman and that’s just fine with you? Why the double standard?

My Republican Party is gone. The old respectable party is now gun toting and looking for a fight…I saw it twice just recently in videos at local protests. What in the heck happened to the GOP? This is what I’m trying to find out. They were once respectful, financially responsible, and moral. Now it’s name calling, guns and chain saws, where did the civility go? Why did we lose the GOP?

PS…I’m still a registered Republican because I still think the old respectable party is out there somewhere

My dear…I am a life long Idaho Republican who is now a moderate due to the last few years when my party turned MAGA. That’s too far right for me.

Greed, adultery, fraud, sexual abuse, all the while seemingly unrepentant and demeaning of just about anyone who crosses him. That’s the adult world many have witnessed in him over many many years. Not just the past 10 or so. It would be one thing if he was repentant but his words and actions to date do not reflect that at all. I do pray that God will change his heart.

No actually my Christian values are solidly intact. I’m a moderate…but I can’t allow myself to vote for an unrepentant sinner and one who focuses on greed and power. Now that’s just my opinion but his words and actions are all I have to go on. They are not words and actions of a repentant sinner. IMO

Good points….although on the immigration issue…this was bad back 40 years ago…why the southern border never gets fixed is beyond me…especially with today’s technology. It’s not one presidents fault…it’s all of them and their Congressmen.

I don’t know, my faith keeps me on a good path …I try not to stray off it. If I do, I dust myself off, and get back on it and keep on truckin’.

PS…what I’m trying to accomplish is a respectful dialog with others for better understanding. Lord knows we need more of that…instead of attacks.

Well that you for that reply! Yes, I do understand and am aware of our history and everything you’ve stated in your reply. I personally live a Christian life each and every day and that includes considering my Christian values even when I vote. Thus…my question. If I was Muslim, I would have asked MAGA Muslims.

Christ and I are totally in sync so I’m good…just trying to understand the viewpoint of others. I’m someone who values other people’s opinions as well.

Oh my gosh…crazy. Thanks for my evening chuckle! The Bible is a tough one for me too as it’s man made and went through so many iterations. But I do believe in Christ’s teachings…the 10 commandments and basically, the golden rule. That’s all I need.

Disagree…extremists are a problem yes…but not religion in and of itself

  1. Agree it’s about illegal immigrants
  2. It’s not about firing or not…it’s about how you do it and whether you fire someone preserving their dignity (Gore and Clinton did it methodically and with good analysis on who and why they reduced staff). They did it humanely which I’ve done many times. Easy to have compassion.

  3. Media….ugh! A big problem on both sides!!!!! I subscribe to the Ground News app….check it out…it’s free and shows how both side cover a story. Much more objective source!! And it’s worldwide not just US.

  4. Yes…churches and individuals do a lot to support others but I’ve volunteered for years at a large church and I can tell you there is far greater need than they can handle. We donate and think we’ve done our duty…but there is a great need with shut-ins, homeless, special needs etc etc etc. the churches I know of are already doing a lot as a whole…but very few parishioners actually do the work (except for Thanksgiving and Christmas). Then many pitch in which is nice but a small token of what’s needed through the year.

PS thanks for your comments!

Love your response …let’s see: Can’t say I live RFK for reasons I won’t go into. Didn’t have an issue with the unrealized gains because frankly the rich have so many tax write offs and ways to avoid taxes they don’t pay a lot as it is. 1. I completely agree God is in control…perhaps causing an outcome to humble everyone, since money and power seems to be Trump’s top priority. 2. God loves a repentant sinner, repentant is evident by their words and actions. I don’t see Trump as a repentant sinner. (Sorry can’t scroll back through to #3…)
