TRUMP WATCH: 10.10.20 - The Problem with People Fleeing Leftist States

The Problem with People Fleeing Leftist States - Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ A huge shift in the American population is currently taking place. Millions of people are moving out of high-crime and high-tax liberal states, and they are relocating to statesthat are mostly run by conservative governments. The states that are bleeding residents are California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and Connecticut. A couple months ago, podcaster Joe Rogan said he was moving to Texas to get away from California. He cited overpopulation, traffic, and "the need for freedom" being a few ofthe reasons he has been persuaded to move from his current home of Los Angeles. Ben Shapiro has also had enough of California. The conservative writer and broadcaster, born in L.A., just announced that he is heading to Nashville, Tennessee. "I love the state,grew up in the state, married in the state, and have had children in the state," he told Laura Ingraham. But California was "not a great place to raise children and not a great place to build a company." Now we know the true meaning of Calexit. It's not secession.It's exodus. "We've been asked over and over and over again when we would leave California. The answer: now. See you in Nashville, gang! I've lived my entire life in California. Within weeks,we'll be taking our 75 jobs and leaving. We're not the first. And we certainly won't be the last. Terrible governance has consequences," said Shapiro. This whole issue of people running away from social problems has already taken place. In the 60s, social programs promoted minorities to move into white urban cities. As thecrime rate soared, whites fled the city, and the cycle of implosion increased. Detroit went from the richest city in our nation to one that declined into bankruptcy. It's hard to understand why cities would have a dozen Democratic mayors in a row that have failed to turn the tide of failure, and the people keep electing the same party. Iwas shocked to learn last year that Chicago has a zero chance of electing a Republican mayor because there are no conservative candidates in any race. This obedience to the liberal agenda translates to people moving from one state to another. The people that decided to escape California for a better state are going to maintainthe same voting record that was the reason for them moving. People that move to Texas from California will tend to support leftist candidates. Since Dallas, Austin and Houston have already become leftist-controlled zones, it may only take a few 100,000 newresidents from the Golden State to turn Texas blue. If Texas and Florida become blue states, the nation will become a one-party system. At that point, all 50 states will become just like California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois,and Connecticut. The next step in escaping the madness is to move to another country; but few people have the economic resource to relocate outside the U.S. The only way we will be able to save America from leftist policies is for people to realize they don't work and vote en masse for change. New York Mayor Bill De Blasio has clearlyfailed at his job. His COVID-19 policies have destroyed 60% of the city's retail space. He hates his own police force while showing only love for the Black Lives Matters Marxists. De Blasio thinks that higher taxes on the rich is the cure for all problems. "What changes thing is the redistribution of wealth. Tax the wealthy at a much higher rate," saidDe Blasio. This reminds me of an old joke: A Socialist walks into a bar and says, "The drinks are on me! Who's buying?" Voters will have a lot of choices to make this November, from picking a president and a U.S. senator to dozens of state representatives and local judges. But one of the mostimportant decisions before Illinois voters will be Gov. J.B. Pritzker's "Fair Tax" amendment. The ballot initiative will ask voters to approve a change to the state constitution that will allow lawmakers to set a graduated income tax rather than the flat tax that currentlyexists. According to Democratic lawmakers, 97% of Illinoisans would end up paying less. The rich are already fleeing the state because Illinois is one of the highest tax rates in the nation. Raising the tax rate another 8% is only going to speed up the exit. Sincethe government always gets what it needs to operate from taxpayers, that promise to the 97% will quickly turn into a lie. America's problems have become so profound, it is hard to expect the voting process could ever be used to set things straight. Any type of political reform would need to comefrom the churches. The key cause of our troubles is that we have collectively allowed evil people to rule over us. "When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan" (Proverbs 29:2 ESV). Principalities of Darkness - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com The Wilson family's prayers are with President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania and their family and staff. We wish them a speedy recovery from this horrible virus visitedupon our land. We also pray against the principalities of darkness that continue to vex our nation and the presidency. Ephesians 6:11-12 says, "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle notagainst flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Good advice for all of us in these perilous times-especially for those who dare to challengethe principalities and wickedness in high places. At least on the surface Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden is showing some class by taking off some negative ads during president Trump's sickness, but it isn'tsetting any example for the haters and Democratic Party attack dogs. "West Wing" star and socialist Bradley Whitford tweeted, "Two opposing thoughts. 1. I'm very sorry you are sick. 2. You are a vile human being." "The Daily Show" correspondent Jaboukie Young-Whitetweeted, "children keep dying of the flu in ICE detention centers but y'all praying for trump." Former staffer for Barack Obama and a former spokesperson for Hillary Clinton Zara Rahim tweeted: "It's been against my moral identity to tweet this for the lastfour years, but I hope he dies." "Arrested Development" star David Cross tweeted: "When I awoke to the news this morning, I didn't know whether to be thrilled or excited." Left-wing documentary directorand Biden supporter, Michael Moore tweeted: "That poor virus got sucked into his body and is now trapped there. How can it escape? He wants to use it as a prop. "See this China Flu? I BEAT IT! Just like I'll beat Biden! They're both a hoax!" My thoughts andprayers, too, are with Covid-19." The editor of China's state-run "Global Times" tweeted, "President Trump and the first lady have paid the price for his gamble to play down the COVID-19. The news shows the severity of the US' pandemic situation. It will imposea negative impact on the image of Trump and the US, and may also negatively affect his reelection." So there we have it. In alignment with communist China, Hollywood celebrities and Democratic Party operatives have wished President Trump ill and have condemned him forcontracting COVID. They say Trump well deserves it because he has let over 200,000 people die. Their sickness is far worse than COVID because they are dying a long-drawn out death of spiritual decay. They claim the moral high ground, but in reality, they arethe examples of everything of which they accuse the president and, quite frankly, anyone who supports him. They are the haters. They are the human manifestation of the spiritual wickedness in high places. Put on your full armor of God and pray that what isgood and right can withstand the evil of this world. Biden's cunning corruption exposed by Senate Report - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com The Democratic National Committee, Hillary Clinton Campaign and the Obama White House conspired to fabricate a narrative accusing President Trump of collusion with Russia,leveraging influence over Ukraine, and having undisclosed business dealings with communist China. All the while, Vice President Joe Biden and his son were doing exactly that which Biden and his political allies accused Trump. An 87-page joint report issuedby the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the Senate Committee on Finance indicates that Hunter Biden, aided by his father Vice President Joe Biden, enriched the Biden family with scurrilous dealings in Russia, Ukraine and China. The Bidens used the position of Vice President, hidden by a complicated international cadre of corporations and bank accounts, to extract money from government officialsin Russia, Ukraine and China. In doing so, they enriched themselves, family members and friends, such as former Secretary of State John Kerry's son, at the expense of American foreign policy and national security. According to the report, these dealings wereknown to government employees in the State Department, but their warnings were largely ignored and worked around. Joe Biden and Kerry both denied knowing anything of Hunter Biden's dealings, even as money transfers in the tens of millions of dollars were flowinginto family-owned bank accounts. Shortly after Vice President Joe Biden took over Ukraine foreign policy to fight corruption there, Hunter Biden joined the board of the company Bursima, which was underinvestigation by the Ukraine government. Then a $7 million bribe was paid to "shut the case." When the investigation pursued, Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in US loan guarantees to the country if the Ukrainian government did not fire the prosecutor.The prosecutor was fired and Hunter Biden was awarded millions in return. He also had business dealings with China's Communist Party and the Peoples Liberation Army which involved US military information. In Russia dealings, Biden received some $3.5 millionfrom the wife of the former mayor of Moscow (removed for corruption), and paid Russian nationals involved with prostitution and human trafficking. During this time frame, Democratic Party operatives were paying to have false reports written about Trump to be used to remove him from the presidency. The Democrats wentso far as to impeach Trump based on those falsehoods, including false accusations that Trump threatened to withhold $400 million in US military aid to Ukraine pending an investigation on Hunter Biden's corruption in Ukraine. These allegations posed by theDemocrats also included a false document alleging Trump's participation with prostitutes in Russia, and collusion with the Russian government. All the while, Biden and his son were actually doing these things. Ezekiel 8:9 says, "Go in, and behold the wickedabominations that they do here." The more we dig, the more abominations we find. Biden is every bit as crooked as the Clintons; he's just more cunning. Trump's Illness Akin to Hezekiah's Illness: Offering Second Chance at Pre-Messiah Song - Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz - https://www.israel365news.com/159194/trumps-illness-akin-to-hezekiahs-is-illness-offering-second-chance-at-pre-messiah-song/ "In those days Chizkiyahu fell dangerously ill. The Navi Yeshayahu son of Amotz came and said to him, "Thus said Hashem: Set your affairs in order, for you are going todie; you will not get well." Isaiah 38:1 (The Israel BibleTM) Last Thursday, President Trump announced that he and the First Lady tested positive for COVID-29 and he was subsequently admitted to Walter Reed Hospital. One rabbi in Israelnoted the compelling similarities connecting Trump's illness with King Hezekiah's both coming at a critical historical juncture. RABBI GREENBAUM: TRUMP IS LIKE KING HEZEKIAH Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum, director of the Azamra Institute, made this compelling comparison. "King Hezekiah got sick later in life when Sanherib threatened to take over all of Israel," Rabbi Greenbaum noted. "Hezekiah was standing between the Torah and Sanheribso it was absolutely critical that he stand firm. Particularly since there was a majority of the Jews who were against him and wanted to open the gates of Jerusalem and allow Sanherib in. They were led by Shebna, the royal steward, who had an enormous popularfollowing." DEEP STATE Rabbi Greenbaum noted that this is very much the political situation today. "Shebna was, in his time, like the deep state is today," Rabbi Greenbaum said. "Hezekiah was the legitimate king of Judah and Shebna was working from within to erode theking's rule. Trump is unquestionably the legitimate president of the United States and in a disturbing and unprecedented manner, there are powers within the government that are working against him. This is not Democracy at work. The opposition is, in fact,taking away the people's power of choice, usurping the voice of the populace and replacing it with their own." The rabbi noted that not only is this 'deep state' anti-democracy, but it also opposes the state it claims to represent. "In the Talmud, it is taught that Shebna was basically treasonous. He was conspiring with Snaherib to bring about a new world order. This is precisely like Biden and HillaryClinton trying to sell America out to China. Sanherib was trying to take over the world and that is what China is trying to do today. Sanherib wanted to have a world empire and the only one standing between him and achieving this was Hezekiah, just as today,the only one standing between China and a world empire is Trump. Like Hezekiah, Trump is standing for Jerusalem and truth. Like Hezekiah against Sanherib, if Trump goes, that is it; the deep state will win." Rabbi Greenbaum compared the recent frenetic political period to the Biblical story of Queen Esther. "The timing of Trump's illness and of the last six months is like the story of Purim," Rabbi Greenbaum said. "Every day, there is a whole new twist and it is all incomprehensible.What we thought we knew yesterday is no longer relevant. Something that looked horrible is actually good and vice versa. But it is all God's plan." THE POWER OF PRAYER One bright point of the president's illness was the prayer vigils held for his benefit. "Hezekiah was healed through prayer while Sanherib went back to Ashur and was killed by his sons. Perhaps the entire point of his getting sick was to bring the people topray. The same is true of Trump. It was beautiful that his illness brought people together in prayer. There were even rabbis and Jews praying for him in Israel." "The Midrash calls Sanherib, Nebuchadnezzar, and Nimrod 'cosmocratic'. This comes from the Greek for 'ruling the universe.' They sought to take the rule over the universeaway from God. This is what the Democrats want to do; negate the creation and usurp God's rule." Academics generally associate cosmocratic ideas with Marxism. Dennis Overbue, a prominent science writer, postulated that "Marxist cosmocratic ideas have been moved to thedumping ground of the history and replaced by "technocratic" beliefs of the current Chinese ruling elite." GOG AND THE MESSIAH: A MISSED OPPORTUNITY Rabbi Greenbaum noted that the story of Hezekiah's illness and recovery at the height of the siege was recounted three times in the Bible: in Melachim 2, Isaiah, Chronicles2, underlining its importance. "The Talmud in Sanhedrin stated that God wanted Sanherib to be Gog and Hezekiah to be Mashiach (Messiah). But when Hezekiah failed to sing after the miracle, God put offthe Messiah. This underlines the Gog-Magog connection." UNITY THE KEY Rabbi Greenbaum emphasized that he did not favor any candidate or party. "I only pray that truth will prevail and that this brings everyone closer to God," Social separation and quarantine may be a way of forcing us to do what is called in Jewish practice Hitbodedut (solitary mediation). The message is that we need tshuva (repentance).Whoever wins it will be a difficult situation and getting through that will require a lot of prayer." This period of separation makes people more aware of the need for connection with their fellow man. When we come back together, we will be more aware of how we treat eachother." The rabbi cited a verse in Isaiah: But a shoot shall grow out of the stump of Yishai, A twig shall sprout from his stock. Isaiah 11:1 The idea behind this verse, of that entire chapter, is that opposites can coexist and are actually codependent on each other. We need the left and the right. This is a prerequisitefor the final redemption. In the end of days there will be peace, not because we are all the same, but because we will see that we need each other because of our differences. We are seeing this now in the Abraham Accords that brought together Israel with Arab nations. Trump has the ability to bring together opposites. He sits with North Korea.Obama, Clinton, and Biden sow division, even among people who should be together. Post Truth Media - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com There is no doubt about it, as a prophetic people, we live in a prophetic time. We are seeing types and shadows of Isaiah 59:14 playing out before our very eyes: "Justiceis turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; For truth is fallen in the street, And equity cannot enter." Justice is turned back as the nation deals with lawlessness and the crazy, wild-eyed liberal concept of abolishing law enforcement. Righteousnessstands afar off as evil is called good and good evil. People are hesitant to even say how they feel about issues for fear of being ostracized. Truth is fallen in the street as we have no idea what truth is with all the information and counter information reported.And equity cannot enter due to the barriers to truth. One of the barriers to truth is the Post Truth Media. Seriously, hardly a story would have passed the editorial desks of organizations that I worked for in the 1970s, andit was all starting then. Story after story that have no attribution. "Sources with knowledge of the situation," "Unnamed sources familiar with the issue," "Anonymous sources who wish to remain unidentified," "One source speaking on the condition of anonymityto describe the internal reaction," "A source familiar with the president's health," "A White House Official," and more. Many of these stories do not even attempt to name a source, but the writers think they are creating a story just by quoting "an aide" or"an official." This is the Post Truth Media. It is beyond fake news. It is reporters copping a byline by writing the narrative they want people to hear, attributing it to unnamed sources,and then getting experts to comment on the on the record about what the unnamed sources are postulating. Case in point is a story posted on Politico about President Trump's health. It gives what the President's doctor said. Then it casts doubt on Dr. SeanConley by saying that other unnamed White House officials close to the president contradict Conley's assessment, causing a "baffling back and forth," confusion and criticism. Then the story went on to quote "experts" on the record commenting on the confusionand criticism, or leveling the criticism. When I was doing investigative reporting, there were rare occasions when a quote from an anonymous source was necessary. My personal rule was and still is that two sourcesindependent of one another had to confirm what was being discussed, and even then, the goal was to get at least one of them on the record or the story was a "no go." The Post Truth Media could care less about the truth or the facts. They care most about thenarrative they create. Media Research Center studies indicate journalists, "voting habits are disproportionately Democratic, their views on issues such as abortion and gay rights are well to the left of most Americans and they are less likely to attend churchor synagogue." And that's the Post Truth Media-a leftist, godless agenda normalizing leftist thought, attacking any dissent. Truth fallen in the streets.
