TRUMP WATCH: 11.14.20 - LOTS OF ARTICALS, AND WELL WORTH IT.....

I APOLOGIZE FOR ALL THE SYMBOLS IN THE ARTICALS. MY MSN PROGRAM MAY BE THE CULPRIT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSES IT TO MIGRATE INTO THE ARTICALS, SO IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THEM.....TERRY NOTE: THE NEXT FEW WEEKS IS GOING TO DEAL WITH WHATS GOING ON IN THE WHITE HOUSE....... Politics and Hope - By Hal Lindsey - https://www.hallindsey.com/ww-11-11-2020/ Today, many Republicans feel they have been cheated out of the presidency. They�re also frustrated that it looks like they could not quite gain the House of Representatives, and that the Senate remains in doubt. Republicans did well at the state level. That�s crucial in an election year that ends in zero. It means they will use the new census information to draw the new districts in states where they control the legislature. But even with the glimmers of good news, this week, most Republicans feel lower than dirt. Many Democrats feel upset that the election did not turn out to be a large repudiation of President Trump. Democrats can�t believe they lost so many down ballot races. They feel disappointed that they lost seats in the House, and that they will probably lose the Senate. Despite ongoing litigation, Democrats feel certain they have won the biggest prize � the presidency. But most are not sure what that means in practical terms. Large numbers of Democrats voted for Joe Biden mostly because he was not Donald Trump. They have hopes for where the country will go from here, but no certainty. It has been a strange election in an even stranger year. No one�s fully satisfied. The nation seems split right down the middle, and the gap between the sides continues to grow. The general sense of unease illustrates again the futility of life without Christ. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you need more than government and politics. Government can help with life, but it will also let you down. Politicians will let you down. But God will never let you down. Political solutions don�t last. A new leader always comes along with new ideas and new ways. Sometimes they work and sometimes they tear everything apart. But God�s word never changes, and it always works. In John 14:1, Jesus said, �Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.� Despite a decades long war against the very idea of God, 80% of Americans still believe in Him. Jesus said not to stop with a general belief in the existence of God, but to also believe in Him (Jesus). In verse 2, He spoke of heaven. �In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.� Search the eyewitness accounts of Jesus� life. He was and remains an utterly trustworthy Person. He said if this heaven stuff weren�t so, He would have let us know. Jesus didn�t want anyone holding on to a false hope. He was and remains all about Truth. When He said, �if it were not so, I would have told you,� He made the issue a matter of His own credibility. Trust Him. Heaven is real. In verse 3, He said, �And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.� Forty days after raising Jesus from the dead, God the Father took Him into heaven. He went there to be our advocate (1 John 2:1), and He went there to prepare a place for us. In verse 4, Jesus said something mysterious � �And where I go you know, and the way you know.� In the next verse, the apostle Thomas said, �Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?� The answer Jesus gave in verse 6 was astounding. He said, �I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.� Politics will let you down. But in the midst of happiness or trauma � your side winning or your side losing � Jesus remains� �the way, the truth, and the life.� Trust Him. Poking God In The Eye: Kamala Harris Vows To Fund Israel's Enemies: In an interview with The Arab American News two weeks ago, Kamala Harris explicitly stated that she was committed to creating a Palestinian state inside the borders of Israel with its capital in Jerusalem while limiting the number of Jews permitted to live in Judea and Samaria. The interview came during a previous campaign stop in Dearborn, Michigan, home to 40,000 Arab Americans and the largest Muslim population in the United States per capita. "Joe and I believe in the worth and value of every Palestinian and every Israeli and we will work to ensure that Palestinians and Israelis enjoy equal measures of freedom, security, prosperity and democracy," Harris said. "We are committed to a two-state solution, and we will oppose any unilateral steps that undermine that goal. We will also oppose annexation and settlement expansion. And we will take immediate steps to restore economic and humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people, address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, reopen the U.S. consulate in East Jerusalem and work to reopen the PLO mission in Washington." The PLO Mission was closed after the organization violated its obligation to Congress not to target Israel at the International Criminal Court" (ICC). The Trump administration was obligated by law to close the office once the Palestinians announced their plans to take Israeli officials to the ICC. Joe Biden has stated a commitment to these goals as well. Neither has stated any concessions that would be expected from the Palestinians in return. Harris ended her interview with a commitment that has hidden connotations. "If elected, we will show the same commitment to outreach and engagement in the White House as we seek to restore America's leadership around the world, including by appointing a special envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which includes many Arab countries," Harris said. The OIC is an international organization founded in 1969, consisting of 57 member states, with a collective population of over 1.8 billion. The OIC supports a two-state solution, boycotting Israel, and cutting ties with any state that recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel or that moves its embassy to its environs. In 2018, the OIC condemned the US for moving its embassy to Jerusalem. In March 2018, the Turkish daily Yeni Şafak, a media outlet which is closely affiliated with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his ruling AKP party, published an article titled, "A Call for Urgent Action," which also appeared on the paper's website under the title, "What If an Army of Islam Was Formed against Israel?" The article called on the 57 member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to form a joint "Army of Islam" to besiege and attack the state of Israel. The article went into specifics, describing in detail how such an army would overwhelm the Jewish State. "If the OIC member states unite and form a joint military force, it will be the largest army in the world," the article said. "These countries' total population is 1,674,526,931. The number of soldiers in active service in these countries is at least 5,206,100. Their overall military defense budget, of $174,728,420, is also worthy of emphasis." Though Erdogan is not officially the head of the OIC, the organization frequently meets in Istanbul. Three months later, he chaired a summit of OIC leaders. Under his direction, the OIC released a statement calling for an international force to protect the Palestinians. The call came after several were killed by the IDF while trying to breach the security fence separating Israel from Gaza during the Hamas-led March of Return riots. The OIC has called "for the international protection of the Palestinian population including through dispatching of international protection force". The OIC statement also lashed out at the United States, saying that Washington was complicit in the actions of Israel against the Palestinians. Presidential election-what the Constitution says � Bill Wilson � www.dailyjot.com The 12th and 20th Amendments to the Constitution cite the procedure of choosing a president if the electoral college is unable to reach a majority. Meantime, the process of determining how the electoral college is to vote needs to be exhausted. This is why it is important to conduct recounts and come to a conclusion about eliminating illegally cast ballots. Another law, cited by Judicial Watch, 3 U.S. Code � 1, states: �The electors of President and Vice President shall be appointed, in each State, on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, in every fourth year succeeding every election of a President and Vice President.� This appears to establish the deadline of election day for votes to be counted. Concerning this, the 12th Amendment reads: �and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President. �The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.� The 20th Amendment Section 3 adds that: �Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.� A layman�s reading of this seems to say that all votes must be counted by election day and there is a clear path for choosing a president if the electors are unable to determine a winner. This would disqualify ballots appearing after the polls close and if the electoral college is deadlocked, it sets forth how Congress determines a president and vice president. Let the process play out. Meantime, 1 Corinthians 16:13 says, �Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.� I will take this advice.

Then why has Adoniyahu become king?� Kings 1:13 (The Israel BibleTM) While court cases are still ongoing, the media declared Joe Biden the victor in the US presidential election. In a campaign that was characterized by an absurdly biased media, the New York Times declared �Biden Wins Presidency, Ending Four Tumultuous Years Under Trump.� BIDEN VICTORY SPEECH: NOT EXACTLY ACCURATE OR OFFICIAL Biden celebrated by giving a victory speech in Wilmington, Delaware where he grew up. In his speech, Biden alluded to this being his third run for the highest elected office. If he is officially declared the victor, at 78 years old, Biden will become the oldest person elected president. �My fellow Americans, the people of this nation have spoken,� Biden began. �They have delivered us a clear victory. A convincing victory. A victory for �We the People�.� His opening statement was already inaccurate as the results were anything by clear and convincing. The candidates were separated by less than one percentage point in Arizona (11 electoral votes), Wisconsin (10 electoral votes), Georgia (16 electoral votes), and Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes), and by less than two percentage points in North Carolina and slightly more in Florida and Michigan, a victory by either candidate was far from �convincing.� The results of the election have yet to be made official. The victor is officially certified by the Electoral College and then by the Senate, House of Representatives, and the National Archives. Representatives from each state�s electoral college meet in their respective state capitals on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December. This year, that date falls on December 14. The final step in the process occurs on January 6 when Congress meets to count the electoral votes and officially certify the winner. In addition, there are currently nearly a dozen court cases pending concerning the election. This is not unprecedented. In the presidential elections in 2000, the Florida Supreme Court, by a vote of four to three, ordered a statewide recount of all undervotes, over 61,000 ballots that the vote tabulation machines had missed. The Bush campaign immediately asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the decision and halt the recount. The ensuing court battle delayed the announcement of a victor until December 12. TRUMP REACTION President Trump emphasized this in a speech he gave on Saturday. �The simple fact is this election is far from over,� Trump said in a statement Saturday. �Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. � DID BIDEN ACT LIKE ADONIJAH? Biblically-minded voters may see a similarity between Biden�s presumptive victory declaration and the actions of Adonijah, the fourth son of King David. After the death of his elder brothers Amnon and Absalom, Adonijah considered himself the heir-apparent to the throne. He acquired chariots and a large entourage without the knowledge of his father, the king, who was ailing. Adonijah consulted and obtained the support of both the commander of the army Joab and the influential priest Abiathar. In anticipation of his father�s imminent death, Adonijah invited his brother princes and the court officials to a solemn sacrifice in order to announce his claim to the throne. He did not invite Solomon or any of his supporters, demonstrating his intent to take the throne. Ultimately, Solomon was anointed king as per his father�s desire. After a second grasp at power, Solemn had Adonijah put to death. BIDEN�S SPEECH: MORE INACCURACIES �We have won with the most votes ever cast for a presidential ticket in the history of this nation � 74 million,� Biden continued. �I am humbled by the trust and confidence you have placed in me. I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but to unify. Who doesn�t see red and blue states, but a United States.� Biden�s initial claim was accurate but misleading. He did indeed garner the most votes of any candidate in an election that saw nearly unprecedented voter turnout. But the candidate who garnered the second-highest number of votes was his competitor, Donald Trump, who garnered more votes than Barack Obama in either of his victories and more than Hillary Clinton in her unsuccessful bid in 2016. CONFUSED BIBLICAL REFERENCE AND CATHOLIC FUNERAL HYMN After promising to unite the country, Biden went on to divide his supporters into ethnic groups. Biden then waxed Biblical with a jumbled paraphrasing of the beginning of the third chapter of Ecclesiastes. �The Bible tells us that to everything there is a season � a time to build, a time to reap, a time to sow. And a time to heal. This is the time to heal in America,� Biden said. After promising to rely on science to battle the pandemic, Biden spoke about restoring the �soul of America.� �We have the opportunity to defeat despair and to build a nation of prosperity and purpose,� Biden said. �We can do it. I know we can. I�ve long talked about the battle for the soul of America. We must restore the soul of America.� �Our nation is shaped by the constant battle between our better angels and our darkest impulses. It is time for our better angels to prevail.� Later in his speech, Biden quoted a Catholic hymn. �And He will raise you up on eagle�s wings, Bear you on the breath of dawn, Make you to shine like the sun, And hold you in the palm of His Hand.� The hymn, regularly played at funerals, was composed by Jan Michael Joncas, a Catholic priest who now teaches contemporary Catholic music at the University of St. Thomas. Biden said that the hymn was important to his family and his deceased son Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015. If elected, Joe Biden will be the country�s second Catholic president after John F. Kennedy. �And now, together � on eagle�s wings � we embark on the work that God and history have called upon us to do. With full hearts and steady hands, with faith in America and in each other, with a love of country � and a thirst for justice � let us be the nation that we know we can be. �A nation united. A nation strengthened. A nation healed. The United States of America. God bless you. And may God protect our troops.� What is at stake is so much more than just this election� - by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/what-is-at-stake-is-so-much-more-than-just-this-election If we don�t stand up now, we may not ever get another chance. I haven�t written much since the day of the election, and that is because like most people I have been transfixed by the bizarre drama that is unfolding on the national stage right now. An election is literally being stolen right in front of our eyes, and if we allow them to get away with this there won�t be any limits to what they think they can get away with in the future. I have been writing about election fraud for many, many years, but in the past it was always more subtle. Unfortunately, they were not so subtle this time around. Here in 2020, they were so desperate to prevent another four years of Trump that they decided to dramatically overplay their hand. In Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, Trump had huge leads throughout most of the counting, but in each case a massive surge of Biden votes right at the end made all the difference. And even though voter turnout was fairly normal in much of the nation, we are told that unprecedented turnout in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit and Milwaukee was enough to push Biden over the top. It is being projected that when the counting is all said and done Biden will have received about 80 million votes. A candidate that couldn�t even fill up a parking lot at any of his so-called �campaign rallies� is on track to receive about 15 million more votes than Hillary Clinton did in 2016. But I suppose it is not too difficult to come up with 15 million additional votes if you allow dead people to send in ballots. Mail-in voting has completely changed the game, because it has made it possible to commit fraud on an industrial scale. And if they get away with it, they will just keep on doing it election after election. As U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham just told Fox News, there is a possibility that �there will never be another Republican president elected again�� �If Republicans don�t challenge and change the U.S. election system, there will never be another Republican president elected again,� Graham said Sunday on Fox News. I would actually phrase it a little differently. If we don�t stand up now, I don�t think that we will ever see another �anti-establishment president� ever again. Our corporate overlords own politicians in both parties, but the reason why they hated Trump so much is because they could not control him. They were so sure that Hillary Clinton was going to win in 2016 that I think they were caught off guard by the very late Trump surge that propelled him to victory. But this time around they weren�t taking any chances. In Pennsylvania, Senator Graham says that Trump�s team is discovering that lots of people apparently voted long after they passed away� �So, what happened? The Trump team has canvassed all early voters and absentee mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania. And they have found over 100 people they think were dead, but 15 people that we verified that have been dead who voted,� Graham alleged. �But here is the one that gets me. Six people registered after they died and voted. In Pennsylvania, I guess you�re never out of it.� These claims need to be investigated and verified, and the voter rolls in all of the swing states need to be sifted through with a fine-tooth comb. If there was widespread malfeasance, those involved need to be prosecuted and sent to prison for a very long time. And any votes that were illegally cast need to be thrown out. Maybe that will be enough to swing the election to Trump, but maybe it won�t be. In the end, what we want is an election that is fair, because that is what the American people deserve. If we do not guard the integrity of our elections, the vast majority of the American people will soon completely lose faith in the system, and it will just be a matter of time before it collapses. Earlier today, I came across an article that was authored by one middle-aged woman that is completely fed up with the process. Like me, she grew up in a middle class area and she was raised to love this country� I was born at the end of Gen X and the beginning of the Millennial Generation, and grew up in a middle class town. Life was good. Our home was modest but birthdays and Christmas were always generous, we went on yearly vacations, had 2 cars, and there was enough money for me to take dance classes and art lessons and be in Girl Scouts. My 1940s born Dad raised me to be patriotic and proud, to love the war bird airplanes of his era as much as he does, and to respect our flag and our country as a sacred thing. I grew up thinking that being an American was the greatest gift a person could have. I grew up thinking that our country was as strong, and honest and true as my Dad. I grew up thinking I was free. If our system was fair, I am sure that she would be at the front of the line to defend it. But after watching how this election is being stolen, she is pledging to never vote again� And now I have watched as people who hate me and mine and call for our destruction blatantly and openly stole the election and then gaslighted us and told us that it was honest and fair. I am watching as the GOP does NOTHING about it. They�re probably relieved that upstart Trump is gone so they can get back to their real jobs of lining their pockets and running interference for their corporate masters. I am watching as the media, in a manner that would make Stalin blush, is silencing anyone who dares question the legitimacy of this farce they call democracy. I know, it�s a republic, but I am so tired of explaining that to people I might as well give in and join them in ignorance. I will not vote again; they�ve made it abundantly clear that my voice doesn�t matter. There are tens of millions of other Americans just like her. All we want is for the elections to be fair. If Joe Biden is the winner of a free and fair election, I am completely okay with that. I really am. No matter what the consequences, I believe that the American people should be free to choose the future course of this nation. But this election was not fair, and everyone can see that. We shall see what happens over the next couple of months. If this farce of an election is allowed to stand, tens of millions of Americans will permanently lose faith in our system, and we can start counting down the days to the end of our Republic. Where America now stands � Caroline Glick - https://www.jns.org/opinion/where-america-now-stands/ Whoever the next U.S. president is, one thing is already clear: Thanks to the Democrats and the media, America's democratic order is in crisis. On Wednesday, supporters of President Donald Trump gathered outside ballot counting centers in Arizona and Michigan to demand a clean and honest vote count. An MSNBC reporter in Arizona filmed the protesters in Maricopa County, where 400,000 ballots were being counted. Standing behind the protesters, the reporter tried to paint the crowd as violent and dangerous even as they stood and kneeled in silent prayer for election integrity. It was a hard sell, but other reporters quickly got in on the action and videos appeared throughout the day of reporters describing the swelling crowd chanting �Count the Vote� as violent. There may be an innocent explanation for the obvious misinformation. Perhaps the men and women with the mics simply don�t know the meaning of the word �violent.� After all, for the past seven months, they have been describing riots replete with broken windows, burning tires and looted stores as �peaceful protests.� The urge Trump voters feel to protest the vote count is easy to understand. The widespread fear that the Democrats were working to falsify the U.S. presidential election results grew with each news update about another 369,000 ballots suddenly appearing in Philadelphia or 10,000 votes in Nevada cast by people who don�t live in Nevada. On Wednesday afternoon, Trump supporters at a ballot counting facility in Detroit were stunned as a poll worker used cardboard boards to block Republican poll watchers from watching the vote count. Republican fears bubbled over Wednesday morning. Tuesday night, Trump was leading Biden by comfortable margins in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina. And suddenly, election officials in Detroit, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Atlanta�Democrat-run cities in states where Trump was leading�announced they were stopping the vote count. According to a report in The Federalist, based on information published by election officials in Michigan and Wisconsin, while the vote-counting had officially been suspended, strange things were happening. In the wee hours of the night in Michigan, 138,339 mail-in ballots were counted. Biden won every single one of them. Hours after the stunning, vertical rise in Biden�s numbers was reported (and after Twitter censored Republicans, including President Trump, who demanded an explanation), Michigan election officials claimed the numbers were a �data error.� A glitchy vote-counting software accidentally added a zero�that is, 100,000 votes�to Biden�s tally. The same glitchy software accidentally forgot to enter the votes that Trump won. Oops. In Wisconsin, Biden got a similar 120,000 vote boost during the night and when Republicans woke up on Wednesday morning, Trump�s 4.7 percent lead had all but disappeared. Trump got none of the votes. Trump�s campaign filed lawsuits in Michigan and Wisconsin regarding the apparent irregularities. The campaign also filed suit against Nevada�s Board of Election for allegedly counting 10,000 votes cast by non-residents. The campaign is exercising its right to order a recount of the ballots in Wisconsin after Biden was declared the winner with a less than one percent margin. There are also multiplying claims of improprieties in vote-counting in Philadelphia. On Wednesday, Trump�s attorney Rudy Giuliani came to Philadelphia to file a lawsuit after Republican poll watchers were barred from observing election officials count 120,000 ballots. A court order to permit the Republicans to observe the vote-counting was ignored by election officials and Democrats appealed the ruling. The Democrats� response to all of the Trump campaign�s claims is to accuse Trump and his supporters of trying to suppress the vote. Most of the alleged irregularities have to do with mail-in ballots. This is no surprise. Trump and the Republicans warned from the outset of the Democrats� mail-in ballot campaign that the purpose of the move was not to minimize the spread of the coronavirus. Standing in line to vote is no riskier than standing in line at a grocery store. The goal of mail-in balloting is to tamper with the vote, they said. As President Trump said in his remarks Thursday evening, it may take time for the legal challenges to work their way through the courts and determine definitively who will be inaugurated on January 20. But we can already see that whoever wins, America�s democratic order is steeped in crisis. The Democrats� post-election shenanigans are an expression of this crisis. To be clear, Trump did not cause the crisis. It has two authors: The Democrats and the media. The Democrats fomented the crisis, which places America�s very future as a constitutional democracy on the line, when they refused to accept the results of the 2016 election. The media caused it by abandoning journalism in favor of political activism. Perhaps the most emblematic image of the 2020 elections came in the days leading up to Election Day. Footage surfaced of business owners in big cities throughout the country boarding up their windows to protect their property from the riots they expected to break out once the voting stations closed. The media�s treatment of the footage exposed their pathology. The shocking images, which revealed an expectation of political violence, received little coverage. And to the extent they were mentioned at all, the mention was as laconic as the weather report: Tomorrow will be partly cloudy, violent riots forecast for downtown beginning at nightfall, and scattered thundershowers are expected around 10 p.m. in the northwest suburbs. Newspapers and television networks didn�t ask the shop owners from whom they were protecting their property. But then, they didn�t need to ask. Everyone knew who the rioters were. Although the media and the Democrats have spent four years insisting that Trump supporters are violent, dangerous racists and Nazis, the merchants in Kenosha and Los Angeles didn�t post Trump election signs in their storefronts to win brownie points from the rioters. They posted signs of support for the looters. And they all hailed from Black Lives Matter, Antifa and allied Democrat voting groups. Trump�s supporters standing outside vote-counting centers in Philadelphia, Maricopa County and Detroit didn�t plan to protest after the election. Conservative activists only began organizing protests after Biden�s vote tallies magically rose vertically on Wednesday morning. In notable contrast, Biden�s supporters in Black Lives Matter and allied groups started posting detailed instructions to their supporters about where to gather and where to protest a week before Election Day. And late Tuesday night, the riots began on schedule in Washington, New York, Portland and Los Angeles. And they weren�t kneeling in prayer. According to the New York Post, a �protester� in Portland was arrested Wednesday carrying hand grenades and a loaded AR-15 assault rifle. �Protesters� in New York were arrested carrying commercial military-grade firecrackers, a taser, knives and hammers. Black Lives Matter rioters in Washington reportedly stabbed five Trump supporters close to the White House early Wednesday morning. Political violence, like ballot harvesting, is a feature of the Democrats� post-democratic political playbook. And here it is important to remember how things transpired in real time. During the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton, her campaign and the media presented Trump and his supporters as illegitimate political actors. Clinton memorably referred to them as �deplorables.� When Trump won the race, their delegitimization of Trump and his supporters quickly led them not to oppose Trump�s presidency, actions and policies, but to reject the legitimacy of both his presidency and of the democratic process that enables �deplorables� to choose a president that the Democrats don�t support. That is, the delegitimization of Trump and his voters morphed into a rejection of the rules of American democracy. All Democrat efforts to oust Trump from office and to block his ability to govern since, like the political violence the Democrats have employed with greater intensity in the intervening years, are a function of that move. The Democrats revealed their new post-democratic character and totalitarian bent on inauguration day. When the millions of Democrats came out to protest the peaceful transfer of power, they called themselves �the Resistance.� They weren�t opposing Trump. They were resisting an illegitimate regime. And to take down the regime�that is, the U,S, government�all means were justified. The media have been a full partner in the Democrats� efforts to overturn America�s constitutional order in favor of one that denies their opponents (or �enemies�) the ability to lead the country. In 2008, the U.S. media replaced its traditional pro-Democrat bias with full mobilization when Barack Obama entered the presidential race. The media writ large presented Obama as a man without blemish. His domestic and foreign policies were deemed ingenious, completely successful and kind-hearted, and were never subjected to serious scrutiny. Obama�s personal and policy failings were airbrushed out. Obama�s opponents were demonized as corrupt and evil foreign agents and avaricious �moneymen.� Biden has similarly enjoyed entirely positive coverage in the media. Together with Twitter and Facebook, the networks and major newspapers have censored rather than reported information that could in any way undermine support for Biden. From the moment Trump rode down the escalator of Trump Towers, he received the exact opposite treatment. If Obama was a messianic figure and Biden a kindly, wise grandpa, Trump was the devil incarnate. The media�s abuse of Trump has known no bounds. The legacy newspapers and television networks competed over who could report more Trump-Russia lies. Trump�s dizzying array of accomplishments in office, at home and abroad were deliberately ignored or downplayed all day, every day for the past four years. Media executives, editors, anchors and reporters made clear the moment Trump was elected that their only goal, and the only legitimate goal, was to oust him from office. It�s impossible to know how things will develop in America in the coming weeks. But it is hard to see a rainbow over the horizon. If Trump is declared the winner, the Democrats won�t accept the legitimacy of the verdict. Their use of political violence will undoubtedly rise. And if Biden is declared the winner, the Democrats will not rest on their laurels. Having already adopted the totalitarian mindset, they will insist their newfound power be used to advance their program. Indeed, they already are. MSNBC commentator Jason Johnson said Wednesday that there must be no peace for Republicans in a Biden presidency. Johnson warned Biden that he mustn�t even think about magnanimity in victory. He is �at war.� In Johnson�s words, �You cannot come into this White House with the idea that these people [Trump supporters] aren�t the enemy. They are. They are the enemies of democracy.� As for Trump�s supporters, after being called �chumps� by Biden, after watching the Democrat-run vote counts and Big Tech�s censorship of the president, Trump�s supporters will not trust the integrity of the process that brought Biden to the White House. And it is hard to imagine them taking it silently. Standing outside the Philadelphia courthouse Wednesday, Giuliani addressed both the media and Trump�s supporters. Looking at the reporters, he said, �Do you think we�re stupid? You think we are fools?� Turning to Trump�s supporters, Giuliani added, �Do you know something? The Democrats do think you�re stupid, they do think you�re fools, and that�s why you get called deplorable chumps. That�s over.� Vote of No Confidence � Bill Wilson � www.dailyjot.com My sources within the Trump campaign say the President will contest the election results to the furthest extent because Americans deserve to have every legal vote counted and that the news media has no right to determine who won the election. I�m told from several sources that President Trump is committed to see this to the very end. All the while, the news media, which keeps repeating that the president�s accusations of voter fraud are unfounded and that he has produced no evidence of such. It seems like any reporter worth his salt would recognize this may be the story of the century and do some investigative reporting about the voter fraud claims. Instead, they just ridicule the president. An early morning email from the President states the case: �The election is far from over. We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: THEY DON�T WANT THE TRUTH TO BE EXPOSED. Joe Biden has NOT been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or any states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. The American People are entitled to an honest Election; that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our Election.� With half the nation now having no confidence that the election was fair and honest, Joe Biden and President Trump both need to take steps to reassure all Americans that the election was decided fairly and within the confines of the law. As the world�s most stable and successful Constitutional Republic known for its peaceful transfer of power, America�s elections are key to not only its citizen�s confidence, but also the world�s assurance that we remain a stable nation. There is a lot at stake. It is not enough to summarily dismiss claims of voter fraud as �politics� and �being a poor loser.� There are too many irregularities to ignore. Among them include: The poll observers being removed; Democratic poll observers outnumbered the GOP observers 3 to 1; late night vote spikes that closed Trump leads; The statistically impossible ratios of vote dumps favoring Biden in battleground states as compared with the ratio for the rest of the country; Biden outperforming Obama among these few urban vote dumps, even though Trump picked up points in every demographic group in the rest of the country; willful violation of the court order requiring the separation of ballots by type; USPS whistleblower reporting to the Inspector General that they were ordered to backdate ballots; Video of 2 AM deliveries of what appear to be boxes of ballots with no chain of custody or other observers before the late night vote spikes. As Jesus said in Matthew 24:4, �Take heed that no man deceive you.� Biden, Israel, and Peace Prospects � Terry James - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ Prefacing this with the fact that the election is far from settled, with the possibility of the Supreme Court having to weigh in, I wanted to look for a moment at what a Joe Biden administration would portend. Particularly, how the relationship between Israel and the United States would be changed is an issue that bears serious consideration. First to think on is that, according to Mr. Biden�s own words over a number of months during the campaign, America will immediately rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. That means that the nation would again be brought into the drive for globalist control. The US Treasury and other assets would be again available for the internationalists to plunder at will. With the House of Representatives controlling much of the money outlay and with a president who believes in the new world order objectives, there would be few safeguards against the imposition of a global tax against US citizens. We would pay for our �excessive� carbon emissions and other infractions of the PCA. Our temperatures in our homes would eventually be governed by our would-be global masters. Fuel prices for our cars�and for all forms of transportation�would skyrocket. At the same time, America would become totally dependent on other nations for any fossil fuel imports. All that is disconcerting to anyone who loves our nation and its independence from confiscatory influences from outside our borders. Added to the controls by the new world order forces would be the influx of millions of immigrants, mostly illegal, whom Mr. Biden�s political party would use to create a voter base that can never be overcome by any opposition. Imposition of a one-payer health insurance, government run, would mean that the citizens would eventually lose private insurance coverage and would instead pay heavy duties in premiums in order to pay for the government programs that would first serve those same illegals and their needs. We would be put on waiting lists that would make today�s waits in doctors� offices seem but a few minutes in length. We could look at dozens of ways our lives might change under uncontrolled impositions by a Biden administration. But to look at all of this from the Bible prophecy perspective, we only have to consider how America�s relationship with Israel would change. We remember how the Obama-Biden administration dealt with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Recall how, when Netanyahu came to call at the White House, upon Obama�s request, the president had him enter from the rear portions of the White House. Then, after only a few minutes of talking with the Prime Minister, Obama abruptly left, saying he was going to dinner upstairs with family. It was a snub of the first order�a thing unheard of in civil diplomatic interaction. So with that track record, and one that is much more egregious in some cases, can we expect anything better from a President Biden? But the real worry in regard to a Biden administration will be the dangers to which Israel will almost certainly be exposed. Again, Mr. Biden has stated on numerous occasions that he will return to old ways in the matter of America and Israel. Of specific worry are his statements that we will return to the �Iran Deal,� which President Trump immediately exited once coming into office. Remember the reported $150 billion in cash that Obama sent to a runway concourse in Iran, to the Ayatollahs� anti-Israel regime. It was stated that it was money that was wrongfully kept that had belonged to Iran during the Bush years. This allegation has never been fully explained or proven. Mr. Biden wants to bring America again into the �nuclear deal� between Iran and much of the Western world, which once included the US. The following news excerpt tells how this has our strongest ally in a great deal of consternation. Democratic candidate for president Joe Biden�s position on the Iran Deal could lead to war between Israel and Iran, Settlements Minister Teach Hanegbi warned on Wednesday night. �Biden has said openly for a long time that he will go back to the nuclear agreement,� Hanegbi said. �I see that as something that will lead to a confrontation between Israel and Iran.� The minister told Channel 13 News that he, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and most Israelis saw the Iran Deal signed by the Obama administration in 2015 as �mistaken�and that�s an understatement.� �If Biden stays with that policy, there will, in the end, be a violent confrontation between Israel and Iran,� he stated� [Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman Zvi] Hauser argued that �today, everyone understands the agreement wasn�t enough to prevent� Iran from developing nuclear weapons, and �countries of the free world know this is their test� � to stop Tehran from doing so. A nuclear Iran would trigger an arms race, in which Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt would develop their own nuclear weapons, Hauser warned. �No one sees Iran�s behavior, creating instability in the Middle East, and thinks its right to let them win,� he added. �Neither the Americans nor Israel will allow a nuclear Iran.� (�Israeli Minister Warns of War if Biden Returns to Iran Deal: �If Biden stays with that policy, there will, in the end, be a violent confrontation between Israel and Iran,�� Lahav Harkov, Jerusalem Post, Israel News, November 5, 2020) However things shape with regard to the election outcomes, one thing is certain. God�s hand is in all of it. We can�t help worrying as human beings concerned with the well-being of our families and our nation. But as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we know the ultimate outcome is glorious beyond all imagination. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. (1 Corinthians 2:9) Choosing Joy in a �Dark Winter� - Jim Fletcher - www.thegodthatanswers.com Therefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and, having done all, to stand. (Ephesians 6:13) I saw Joe Biden in person, once. This is a very small anecdote, but it always stayed with me. I was in a hotel lobby in Washington on a rainy day. Biden came in with his entourage. As some of them attempted to help him off with his coat, he angrily pulled away and said something unpleasant to them. He then went upstairs. Anybody can have a bad day. All of us are harried from time to time. But something tells me that Ol� �Lunch Bucket Joe� is like this all the time. I have watched his political career for decades and believe him to be a typical craven grifter. Now that we are days on the other side of a bizarre election night, let me be clear about what I think happened. The Left stole the election. At the time of this writing, some hold out hope that court challenges will lift Trump to victory, but there are also reports that Jared Kushner has approached the President about conceding. I also just read that Bibi Netanyahu sent congratulatory comments to Biden. Sickening. Somehow, I did not see this coup coming. I thought that even though there is always voter fraud, we had a system in place that would not allow us to become a Third World country. I was wrong, wrong, wrong. A friend of mine predicted this�he really did�but I was mostly dismissive. I now see very clearly that America as we have always loved her is gone. Some friends Friday night said they held out hope that the Republicans can retake the House in two years and someone like Tom Cotton can become president in 2024. Sometimes we lie to ourselves, in order to cope. I intended to make this column more about what Israel can expect under Biden, but I�d like to offer you hope about the future. I will not be part of Biden�s Dark Winter. (Forever, I will consider him illegitimate. His friends on the Left, the legions of them, include prominent evangelicals.) Now to the good stuff! I thought of Terry James this week. Terry�s harrowing tale of his heart attack always inspired me, as it did many others. One reason is, he survived the �Widow Maker,� but retained his joy of life. His assurance that we will all see Jesus soon�I love it. That is the reality, no matter our circumstances. I was almost killed in an accident four years ago, and while I know many of you know that, you don�t know the circumstances. I am not going to write about that today, maybe one day, but I wanted to make the point that my survival in 2016 was literally miraculous. The accident came out of nowhere (we never know the details of our Home Going ahead of time!). Yet this week, even in the midst of this mind-blowing coup in our country, I visited with friends and had a great time around a fire. I visited with my amazing niece, who is a great girl and looking to a bright future. I visit with my mother every day; she lives on the �Farm� with us, our little patch of ground. She is in great health and mentally sharp and fun, at 78. I have so many blessings in my life, I can�t count them all. I have a quiet place, a bench, overlooking a valley. I sit there every day and talk to God and think about life. I am building my dream home near there. None of this would be happening if God had not spared my life. So, no matter what life throws at me, I am winning. And you know what? I know that because God�s Word is true, my new home will be enjoyed but for a few years. Then I go to the place He has prepared for me. Joe Biden is not my president. But Donald Trump is also not my Savior. I will pray for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris�if they do in fact take office through nefarious means�that they come to know the Lord and stop practicing evil daily, hourly. Donald Trump is the greatest president of my lifetime. There will be pressure on many of us to go along in the days ahead. I can assure you, I will not roll over politically. I could write many, many thoughts (couldn�t we all!) about the treachery in this country. But that for another time. I can choose every day to focus on the life Jesus has given me, and the one He is preparing for me. If we don�t live in Mayberry anymore and we have to run a gauntlet of hate, others that have come before have had worse to deal with. I think of Washington�s desperate gamble to cross the Delaware at Trenton. Can you imagine how depressed he must have been during that Christmas night, knowing that the Revolution hung by a thread? I think of our guys at Bataan and Corregidor. Knowing there were no replacements coming to defend against the Japs? Or missionaries in countries where that kind of thing gets you killed? Can you imagine being a missionary in Asia in the early 20th century, and seeing your entire family murdered in front of your eyes? I can�t, either. Those who remain steadfast and keep their eyes on the Savior will emerge from this just fine. I will soon be 58; I hope I live many more years. But if not, I�ve had a magnificent life. And the one I�m going to, according to Paul, I couldn�t handle the glory of it if God didn�t give me a new body! I spit in the face of the Enemy, in the face of totalitarianism. I�m going to get a t-shirt that reads: �It was a Coup.� And I give Bibi a pass, since I still believe his sole goal in life is to defend his people. He�s known Biden for 40 years and knows WHAT Biden is. He�s making a political calculation. But apart from politics, I choose joy. Life is good. It is a gift from God. Let me encourage you going forward to get into and stay in God�s Word. To quote another Netanyahu, Jonathan, who led the spectacular Raid at Entebbe: �It�ll be okay.� Iran: Mullahs Celebrate What They Hope Will Be the Return To Their Nuclear Bomb - by Majid Rafizadeh - https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16741/iran-mullahs-celebrate The Iranian regime has excitingly announced former U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden's possible victory in the US presidential elections and is celebrating that the next US administration will, they hope, be from the Democrat Party. Iranian authorities view the chance that Biden might take over the White House as a definite win for Tehran. Hesameddin Ashena, an advisor to Iran's President Hassan Rouhani, tweeted that Iranians "stood their ground bravely until that coward's time [Donald Trump] came to leave". Headlines in the state-controlled newspapers, which celebrated the news, included, "World without Trump!" (Aftabe Yazd newspaper), "Mr Withdrawal is Close to Being Kicked Out of White House", "Go to Hell You Gambler!" (Sobhe Now newspaper) "Trump's Card No Longer Valid for Media!" (Aftabe Yazd newspaper), "The Bankrupt US President Got Humiliated" (Mardom Salari newspaper), and "Trump Must Leave" (Donyaye Eghtesad newspaper). The last three years has indeed been a nightmare for the Iranian regime and its proxies. No US administration before the current one has imposed such a draconian pressure on the mullahs, their rogue state and their allies. At the beginning, President Donald J. Trump pulled the US out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal, which Iran never signed and which paves the way for Iran to have nuclear weapons. Then, the Trump administration re-imposed primary and secondary sanctions on Iran's energy, banking and shipping sectors. During the last two years, several other Iranian entities were added to the sanction list. The killing of General Qassem Soleimani was also a huge blow to Iran's regime, particularly the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its proxies across the Middle East. The sanctions, in fact, have imposed significant pressure on the Iranian government -- to such an extent that the Iranian leaders have had to cut their funding to their allies, militia and terror groups. A year into the pressure, the state-controlled Syrian newspaper Al-Watan reported that Iran halted its credit line to the Syrian government. Some of Iran's authorities publicly announced that they also do not have money to pay their mercenaries abroad. In an interview with the state-run Ofogh Television Network, for instance, Parviz Fattah, the current head of the Foundation for the Underprivileged (Mostazafan Foundation) stated: "I was at the IRGC Cooperative Foundation. Haj Qassem [Soleimani, commander of the IRGC Quds Force who was killed by a US drone strike] came and told me he did not have money to pay the salaries of the Fatemiyoun [Afghan mercenaries]. He said that these are our Afghan brothers, and he asked for help from people like us." Tehran's diminishing resources have also caused Iranian leaders to cut funds to the Palestinian terror group Hamas and the Lebanese militant group, Hezbollah. Hamas was forced to introduce "austerity plans" while Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Iran's proxy, Hezbollah, has also called on his group's fundraising arm "to provide the opportunity for jihad with money and also to help with this ongoing battle." The country's economic situation became so dire that the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani admitted that the Islamic Republic is encountering the worst economic crisis since its establishment in 1979. The political deputy of the province of Bushehr, Governor Majid Khorshidi, told a gathering on July 14 that they should not ignore US sanctions: "We used to see this approach [of ignoring US sanctions] from the previous [Ahmadinejad] administration and unfortunately it still continues," he added. "But I have to say that sanctions have broken the economy's back". Thanks to the current administration's pressure, Iran's currency, the rial, has been in free fall in the last three years. As of November 7, 2020, a US dollar is worth approximately 250,000 rials. Before the current US administration imposed a "maximum pressure" policy against Tehran, a US dollar had equaled nearly 30,000 rials. During the last year, Iran's oil exports also sank to a record low. The country's budget heavily relies on selling oil. As pressure kept mounting against the regime, Tehran also faced several widespread protests in the country, which endangered the hold on power of the ruling clerics. Now, the regime feels that all of the current administration's pressures will be lifted soon and the golden days will be back again. It is unfortunate that Iran's ruling mullahs view a possible victory of the Democrat Party in US elections as a win for the Tehran regime, its proxies and militia groups. President Rouhani has already called for restoring the nuclear deal. It could well be a loss for continuing peace in the region and for finally restoring the violated Iranian people's hoped-for human rights. Beware of the Trump Accountability Project � Bill Wilson � www.dailyjot.com In true Marxist fashion, leftists associated with the Democratic Party have established trumpaccountability.net, The Trump Accountability Project to cancel those who supported President Donald Trump in any way. The site says �We must never forget those who furthered the Trump agenda.� It says, �We should not allow the following groups of people to profit from their experience: Those who elected him; those who staffed his government; those who funded him.� There is no threat on the website as to what these people will do to those who supported Trump, but it is clearly a jack-boot communist concept to silence any and all opposition to the agenda. This is what happens when people like this are allowed to assume power. The website further describes its mission, which is based on lies: �We should welcome in our fellow Americans with whom we differ politically. But those who took a paycheck from the Trump Administration should not profit from their efforts to tear our democracy apart. The world should never forget those who, when faced with a decision, chose to put their money, their time, and their reputations behind separating children from their families, encouraging racism and anti-Semitism, and negligently causing the unnecessary loss of life and economic devastation from our country�s failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic.� Remember how Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Trump supporters should be harassed at restaurants, grocery stores and gas stations? Democratic leaders are embracing this next step. Former Bill Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart tweeted: �the people around @realDonaldTrump who have enabled him to bring our democracy to the brink have to be held responsible for what they�ve done. �The left-wing ezine Slate suggested putting White House advisor Stephen Miller in prison for the southern border child separation policy (which was initiated by the Obama Administration), saying, �Like all men who commit crimes against humanity, he should be imprisoned by the society he wounded, forever prevented from spreading his pestilence and fear.� The Washington Post reports: Both MSNBC host Chris Hayes and former Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich want a �Truth and Reconciliation Commission,� the term given to panels that operated in post-Apartheid South Africa. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted, �Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future?� Michael Simon, former Obama staffer, tweeted, �Yes we are. The Trump Accountability Project.� A former staffer of Pete Buttigieg�s campaign, who is on the Biden transition team, Hari Sevugan, said he was part of the launching. These actions lead to oppression and death�think Venezuela, Cuba, China, Russia, and the list goes on. As said in 2 Timothy 3:1, �This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.� For anyone who disagrees with these politically intolerant ideological bigots are subject to all sorts of harassment. Also remember they especially dislike Christians and anything referencing God. Times are indeed perilous. Are America�s Foundations Crumbling? � Jonathan Brentner - https://www.jonathanbrentner.com/https/jonathan-brentner-g8fgsquarespacecom/config/2020/11/6/the-foundations-are-crumbling According to the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland�s delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, a lady asked Dr. Franklin this at its conclusion, �Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy.� Benjamin Franklin replied, �A republic . . . if you can keep it.� This quote has been ringing in my ears since I heard about the election fraud taking place in many states. If this coup succeeds in ousting our legally elected President from office, we will be well on our way to losing our republic, our freedoms, and our way of life. The foundations of our freedoms are crumbling as I write. I feel similar to how I felt on September 11, 2001 as I watched the two towers of the World Trade Center fall to the ground. Within our trust of the Lord, I believe there�s room for sadness as we watch political corruption prevail in the country we love. Psalm 11 has come to mind several times this week. There David, the anointed king of Israel, gives us a window into his heart as he faced great danger from King Saul and his armies who wanted to kill him. At the end of Psalm 11, David voices confidence in the Lord and it�s a hopeful message for me and I suspect for many of you as well. THE ATTACK OF THE WICKED In Psalm 11, David�s advisors tell him to run away; they say, �. . . for behold, the wicked bend the bow; / they have fitted their arrow to the string / to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart . . .� (Psalm 11:2). The picture here is of the wicked operating in the dark looking to ambush the righteous. Is this not an apt picture of what happened in several states as we slept in the early hours of November 4 under the cover of darkness? Things have not changed much since the days of David; the wicked still attack the righteous with greed in their hearts. The language in Psalm 11 is similar to Psalm 37:12-15 but includes a much different outcome. There, David says that �the Lord laughs at the wicked, / for he sees that his day is coming � (v. 13). Then he adds that �their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken� (v. 15). Those intent on making anarchy a way of life will ultimately fail although they may succeed for a while. The Bible tells us that the agenda of the globalists will eventually succeed in making their New World Order a reality. This is the final form of the beast in Daniel 8 and in Revelation 13 that will dominate the world under the direction of the antichrist. Could the attempted coup to oust our duly elected President be a part of their plan? I believe it is. Although the wicked may succeed for a while, the message of Psalm37:1-20 is that in the end, they will do more harm to themselves than to the righteous. TRUST IN GOD VERSUS LIMITED OPTIONS Those advising David saw no way out of his current predicament other than to run far away, �. . . if the foundations are destroyed, / what can the righteous do?� (v. 4). In other words, they told him he options were limited, if even that. He needed to flee from the danger. Bruce K. Waltke, in his commentary on Psalms for The Expositor�s Bible Commentary, states that �foundations� in this verse represent a �metaphor for the order of society . . . the established institutions, the social and civil order of the community.� Is this not what we see this week in the United States? Make no mistake, the election fraud is an attack against the �civil order� of our nation and if those behind it succeed, they may do irreparable damage to the basis of our liberties. If we cannot trust states to accurately report the results of the elections in their states, then we are surely in danger of losing our republic as Benjamin Franklin warned about so many years ago. David, however, did not let his limited options shake his confidence in the Lord. THE LORD REMAINS SOVEREIGN David did not place his confidence in what he could see, but rather in the One who sees everything and remains in control of all things. In Psalm 11:4 we read, �The Lord is in his holy temple; / the Lord's throne is in heaven; / his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man.� David responded to his dire situation by voicing his trust in God�s absolute sovereignty. Nothing escapes the notice of our all-knowing and all-powerful Lord. The One who loves justice (Psalm 37:28) sees all the corruption and violence that we see and so much more! David continued by saying that the Lord �soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.� Bruce Waltke adds this about God�s hatred for the wicked, �The holy God may not immediately judge the wicked, but his holiness excludes any love for those who �love violence�� (v. 5). We may not see the end of those seeking to wreak havoc on our freedoms, but God sees their fate as though it�s happening now. The word for �violence� in verse 5 includes the implication of �unjust gain.� The ESV translation captures this usage of the Hebrew word in Proverbs 1:19, �Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; / it takes away the life of its possessors� (emphasis mine). While violence may be the means of those seeking unjust gain (Prov. 1:11-18), their ultimate motive is to steal what does not rightfully belong to them. THE LORD IS THE ULTIMATE JUDGE Not only does the Lord see everything that happens, but He will also judge the wicked, those who remain hostile to Him. In verse 6, David describes the end of the wicked. �Let him rain coals on the wicked; / fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.� While David�s desire sounds quite harsh to modern ears, it rightly portrays the fate of the wicked who persist in rejecting the Lord. So many today refuse to accept the idea of God�s final judgment, but the Psalmist here correctly depicts the fate of all those who reject Christ and His sacrifice for their sins. It�s only by God�s grace and abundant mercy that we escape the fate of the wicked and inherit the very righteousness of Christ (2 Cor. 5:21). The words �But God� in Ephesians 2:4 sum up our salvation. Because of our place �in Christ,� Paul says that in the �coming ages� the Lord will �show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus� (Eph. 2:7). I often think Ephesians 2:7 is the most overlooked verse in the Bible. It�s good that we emphasize the truths of Ephesians 2:8-10, of course. But so often we forget that the Lord intends to shower us with kindness through all eternity. This is over-the-top joyful news regardless of our lot on earth. FINAL THOUGHTS Although the election drama in the United States remains out of our hands, here are a few thoughts that I have as we face the peril that the election drama may pose for our freedoms. 1. Prayer is essential. This is perhaps the most important thing we can do as we wait for a resolution to the election drama, and it may be a very long wait. Pray for our President and for a just resolution to this serious crisis facing our nation. Let the Lord know how you feel and what you desire. 2. Spending time in God�s word is vital for us in such a time as this. I cannot emphasize this enough. It�s in Scripture that find our hope in Jesus� appearing and know that someday we will reign with Jesus over the very nations that now reject Him and repudiate His Word. I read Psalms 37 and 73 when I feel tempted to fret over the injustice and violence I see in the world. Righteous indignation is not sinful, but it can become something dark when we hold on to it and do not let the Lord minister to our soul through Scripture along with the Holy Spirit (see Ephesians 4:26-27). 3. It�s okay to be sad. As I write this post three days later, I remain quite sad over the events of the past week. This morning, the Lord reminded me of Nehemiah�s sadness after learning of the dire condition of Jerusalem. His sorrow appears to have lasted for over a month (Neh. 1-2). The Lord, however, used his grief to spark his desire to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. 4. It helps to read passages that assert God�s sovereignty. I often turn to Psalms 46-47 when I feel sadness over what I see in the world. It helps me to recite Psalm 46:10 and imagine the Lord Jesus ruling over all the nations of the world as described in Psalm 47. We will reign with Him over the nations that now grow in their hostility to Him. I do not know what will happen in the coming months. I dare not even hazard a guess. Perhaps we will see a just result to the election, perhaps not. The Bible says that a world government will arise in the last days that will include all the nations of the earth, including America. I believe the attempt to steal the election in the United States is a part of the globalists seeking to make this happen. President Trump rightly stated at his campaign stops that as long as he remained the president, the socialist agenda for America would not succeed. This perhaps explains the concerted and well-planned efforts of the left to see that he no longer remains in office. The wildcard I see for us is the timing of the rapture. Scripture tells us that our departure from earth will happen before both the seven-year tribulation and the rise of the antichrist to world dominance. We know the rapture is imminent, but we do not know how much more of the world�s rush toward the New World Order we will experience before Jesus comes to take us home to the place He�s preparing for us (John 14:2-3). The road ahead may become difficult or even perilous for those of us who love the Lord and have also long valued the freedoms we have enjoyed in the United States. We are very much in danger of losing the republic as Benjamin Franklin warned about long ago. The foundations of our nation crumble a little bit more with each vote fraudulently counted in favor of Biden. Will this fraud continue undermining the United States? We do not know the answer to that question at the present time. Despite what we see, never forget that God remains sovereign and is a safe refuge for our soul when all looks lost. Proverbs 18:10 assures us of this, �The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.� Maranatha! One way or the other, life in America will never be the same after this� - by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/one-way-or-the-other-life-in-america-will-never-be-the-same-after-this How in the world will it be possible for America to have a bright future when about half the country is going to feel like the election has been stolen from them no matter what the final outcome is? There simply isn�t going to be any going back to the way that things were for the last four years. At this moment, tens of millions of Trump supporters believe that the Democrats stole the election. But if the courts agree with Trump�s legal team and Trump ends up getting a second term, tens of millions of Biden supporters will be convinced that Republicans stole the election. Either way, we are going to be a nation that is full of deeply angry people. Right now, the mainstream media is assuming that Biden is going to be president. But the reality of the matter is that we are going to end up with either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris in the White House. Even if Biden is inaugurated, his rapidly deteriorating physical condition will not allow him to serve for very long. Whether it is a matter of years, months or days, everyone knows that a Biden administration will simply just be a bridge to a Harris administration. If Trump�s legal challenges are not successful and Biden ultimately emerges victorious, Trump supporters should actually be praying really hard for Biden�s health, because things will actually go much worse for them under a Harris administration. I believe that Biden will at least try to maintain the facade that he is attempting to �unify� the nation, but once he is out of the picture Harris won�t hesitate to bring the hammer down on her opposition. Harris was rated the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate during her time there. Yes, that makes her even more liberal than Bernie Sanders. And when she was the attorney general of California, she showed how utterly ruthless she can be at times. During the general election, she tried to show a softer side, but it didn�t really fool anyone. We all remember the far left policies that she embraced during her ill-fated run for the presidency, and her record as attorney general of California clearly demonstrates her authoritarian tendencies. Of course many Trump supporters are hoping that a Harris administration will never materialize because Trump wins a second term. And without a doubt, that is definitely possible. On Tuesday night, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany showed Sean Hannity a stack of 234 pages of sworn affidavits from people that have testified that they witnessed election fraud in their states. Each day more evidence of voting irregularities continues to emerge, and I am sure that there will be more bombshells tomorrow. But the clock is ticking. As I discussed earlier today, the Electoral College is going to cast their votes on December 14th, and any disputes regarding the selection of electors must be resolved by December 8th. So that means that Trump�s legal team has less than a month to flip the results in enough states to give Trump the victory, and that is going to be an exceedingly difficult task. But for a moment, let�s assume that Trump�s legal team is successful. Do you think that the left is just going to back down and accept four more years of Trump peacefully? Just put yourself in their shoes. The mainstream media has been telling them over and over that they won the election legitimately and that there is �absolutely no evidence� of election fraud. When the big news networks called the election for Biden, they laughed, they cried and they danced in the streets. For many on the left, it was as if Christmas, their birthdays, and the 4th of July had arrived all at once. Can you imagine how much fury they are going to feel if Trump�s legal team is able to flip state after state and swing the final outcome back in the other direction? It would definitely be enough to convince many of them that a peaceful solution is no longer possible. I believe that we would see violence in our streets on a permanent basis from this point forward, and it would be far worse than any of the civil unrest that we have witnessed so far. Like I said, there is no going back to how things were before. Either a Biden administration will be a bridge to an absolutely ruthless far left Harris administration, or a second term for Trump will cause the left to go absolutely bezerk. I don�t see any other option at this point. Do you? As it stands, we still do not know who is going to win. According to the U.S. Constitution, it is the Electoral College that elects the president, and that election is not going to be held until December 14th. So nobody should be claiming the title of �president-elect� yet. You can�t be a �president-elect� when the election hasn�t even happened. Yes, if we get to December 8th and Joe Biden is still leading in the vote count in the states that he is currently leading, it will appear that time will have run out for the Trump campaign. But 234 pages of sworn affidavits is nothing to scoff at, and I am sure that Trump�s legal team is working night and day to uncover even more evidence of potential fraud. It would take the biggest legal miracle in U.S. election history for Trump to pull this off, but it is definitely still possible. Right now, we are still playing a waiting game. Most Trump supporters still think that Trump will end up winning, and most Biden supporters are absolutely convinced that they have this election in the bag. But once the votes have been cast by the Electoral College, there will be no going back, and the sheer horror of what has happened will start to sink in for about half the country. No matter what the outcome is, the years ahead are going to be incredibly painful as our society literally comes apart at the seams all around us. After everything that has already taken place, nobody is going to be able to �bring us together�, and life in America will never be the same again. Long Odds, Big God � Bill Perkins � www.compass.org The first to plead his case seems right, until another comes and examines him. Prov. 18:17 In the heat of the battle, it�s often hard to see who�s winning. This is particularly true in the Presidential battle this year. God often lets a situation look impossible to overcome before His Will becomes known. Think of Gideon fighting with only 300 men against 30,000 enemies�and winning. Or David defeating Goliath. Or even Israel being plopped down in the middle of 70 million Muslims with no army and no government in 1948, yet still here today against all odds. It�s not the national networks that determine who wins our national election. We spent 30 days hearing Gore was the President Elect before Bush won in court. In our case, it's not even the electoral college that's in control. Rather, it�s the Creator God of this universe, who spoke it into existence�He is always in control. He is the One who determines who wins and loses elections. It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; Dan 2:21b At the moment, Satan is doing his best to convince the world that Biden has won the American Presidential election. All major networks have declared him the winner, sending chills down the spine of most every true Believer. Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc., are openly pushing Biden as the heir apparent to the Presidency. Will the �most corrupt politician ever (1)� win over President Trump? On election night President Trump appeared not only to have held his base from the last election but also to have convinced hordes of others that didn't vote for him in 2016 that he was doing exactly what he promised. Between what President Trump has done in the Middle East, for blacks and Latinos, oil and gas, small businesses, our economy, and a long list of other things, the proof was there. Despite the Russia investigations, the impeachment, and the fact that CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc., never reported the truth about what he accomplished in four years with one hand tied behind his back, the truth still is known, especially by the Lord. By the time this election came down to voting, Trump was drawing tens of thousands to ALL his rallies (see pic of Trump rally) while Biden mostly stayed home. When Biden did speak, it was ALWAYS to only a handful of people. America voted and they voted for Trump in large, energetic numbers. Most of us went to bed at peace on election night thinking Trump had won the election due to solid leads in Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina. But then the coordinated three-hour pause in those swing states happened in the middle of the night. Mysteriously, hundreds of thousands of votes appeared in Biden�s name with zero corresponding votes for Trump. Nor did these ghost-Biden voters vote in any down-ballot races. The fraud was immense and obvious. But what can anybody do about it? The remedy is just what the President is doing�he�s taking his case to court to get the justice he deserves. When it reaches the Supreme Court, and this is where most constitutional scholars think it will end up, President Trump will make his case that there was massive voting fraud on a national scale. Whether the unexplained middle-of-the-night fake ballots are proven invalid due to lack of official watermarks(3), or from testimony by all those who personally witnessed and documented the corruption(1), or from states using "Hammer" software that changed Trump votes to Biden(5), the Supreme Court could easily declare this Presidential election invalid due to fraud on a national scale. If the election is deemed fraudulent by the Supreme Court, and it's hard to believe they won't, there are two possible directions they could go: 1) They could rule that all the mail-in ballots should NOT be counted and each state be audited for recount. Or 2) They could use the 12th Amendment(4) to the Constitution, which clearly lays out what to do if an election is deemed inconclusive or thrown out due to proven fraud. If the 12th Amendment is used, the House of Representatives votes on the President, BY STATE, not by electors. Each state gets one vote. The Senate votes for Vice-President. There are currently 29 states controlled by Republicans and 19 by Democrats(6). If the 12th Amendment is declared, President Trump will win. If only the legal ballots are counted, President Trump will win. Therefore, if this goes to the Supreme Court, we have a good chance of President Trump being reelected! So in the immortal words of Yogi Berra, �It�s not over �til it�s over!� Shalom! BP How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

And because its impact on human history will be profound, describing this war in such terms is not exaggeration. The battle taking place is more than a supernatural conflict. Rather, it is a spiritual drama that is beyond comparison in the annals of national political intrigues. This conflict might be called the sequel to the commentary I wrote some years ago. Its title was �Prayer Wars.� It was at a time when believers in Jesus Christ were faced with what was then considered the most important election, certainly in the memories of those who faced it. It was in the days surrounding the 2016 election. Below is what I wrote at that time, with only a very few edits. The war that is raging at present is more intense, more violent, more necessary to win than even the 2016 election. The truth found within this commentary hasn�t changed, because the Lord does not change. Again, here is what was written then: Never in American history has there been in presidential politics a time that more fits within the descriptive given in Ephesians 6:12 than the time we are currently experiencing. That spiritual battle describes succinctly, in my opinion, the time that has led up to where America and planet earth stand at this moment. �For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.� For decades, it has been as if the dark, hellish forces of the ages have been turned loose against this nation, which has been so openly blessed by Heaven. The cultural and social �progress� thought to have been made, according to those who want to detach America from the Judeo-Christian mooring the founding fathers provided, are threatened by a significant challenge. We the people of God just might have decided we don�t wish that progressive agenda to proceed further. Thus, the war is on in a way perhaps unseen in the annals of US presidential elections. We as God�s people are told how to fight such warfare as that in which we are presently engaged. We are to �put on the whole armor of God� (Ephesians 6:11). The Bible provides a description of that spiritual armor with which we are supposed to adorn ourselves in order to wage war against this most powerful and wicked enemy force. Once we are fully, spiritually armed, we are told we are to be �praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints� (Ephesians 6:18). How well most Christians these days have fully armored up is in question. The dumbing-down by the godlessness of the secular world and�even more troubling�by the compromising churches of recent times, has taken a heavy toll. However, the one weapon mentioned in the apostle Paul�s spiritual-battle preparation of Ephesians chapter 6 is in play during this war for the survival of this once-great republic. I am believing that the core of the people in this nation who hold to the truth of the Word of God are �praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit� that the Lord will intervene in this war that is raging. It is a �prayer war,� to be sure. I�m aware of the seminary and other positions that say 2 Chronicles 7:14 was only for Israel and doesn�t apply to America. But, the God of Heaven does not change. Jesus Christ, who is God, is the same yesterday, today and forever, the Scripture tells us. I am trusting, therefore, that that great promise given to Israel during their direst time of need applies equally to those of this day and time who are �called by His name.� Although the nucleus of God�s people who hold fast to the Heavenly Father�s precepts and promises might be a dwindling number, we are still here in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions. We are engaged in this �prayer war� for a restoration of sanity in America�s government, society, and culture. We are praying specifically that the evil forces that are raging to make this nation into a state totally apart from all godliness will be, at least on an interim basis, kept from their luciferian goal. I say �on an interim basis� because Bible prophecy plainly foretells that the satanic, globalist forces will for a time one day achieve establishment of a one-world order as Antichrist�s platform of power. It will happen. It�s just a matter of time. Meantime, however, while the Church of Jesus Christ is here, thus the Restrainer (the Holy Spirit) resident within that Body holding back evil, it is right and proper�and I believe expected�that God�s people, called by His name, are to pray the prayer of 2 Chronicles 7:14. �If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.� Millions, I�m convinced, are even at this late hour praying this prayer to the best of our ability. I believe movements and revelations of corruption within the political processes of late reflect directly the Lord�s attentiveness to the genuine prayers of His spiritually attuned prayer warriors. If America is again�like in the 2016 presidential election�to be so blessed by a positive answer to those prayers by Heaven�s throne room, I believe it will mean that the battle as described in Ephesians chapter 6 will, after the election, intensify even more than if God�s answer is otherwise. And it will, in that case, be this nation�s final dispensation of liberty, if there is not a turning back to God in a major way. The war of the ages as this Church Age dispensation moves into its final stages will be fought most effectively by God�s people in the prayer closets of America. Let�s be sure to put on the whole armor before engaging in the battles we face. The Deception of it All � Bill Wilson � www.dailyjot.com There are a lot of various emails popping up everywhere claiming some super-spectacular voter fraud �gotcha.� These accounts just contribute to the noise and mislead people. There are even some where legitimate logos are cut and paste in them to try to give them more credibility. These just add more deception upon deception. If they cannot name a specific source, are not verified by the mentioned organization�s website, and involve intricate explanations, they are probably false. Use your discernment, not your wishful thinking. Don�t take these emails for truth because you want to believe them. Check out the process, the law, the rules otherwise you subject yourself to disinformation. Following, is an example. One such email circulating has Tom Fitton�s name and Judicial Watch�s logo on it. Tom Fitton, head of Judicial Watch, is a legitimate American hero. He has led numerous investigations into government fraud and coverup over the years. His reputation is beyond reproach. Check out the Judicial Watch website and you will see the truth, not only about this election, but about Hillary Clinton�s emails, Hunter Biden�s laptop, the whole fraud about the fake dossier against President Trump, and more. What you won�t find is bizarre conspiracy theories and suppositions. Fitton and Judicial Watch are the real deal and they do a tremendous service by exposing the facts and the truth. Now, here is some truth about the election: Judicial Watch states: �Judicial Watch has long warned of the chaos and increased risk of fraud from recklessly mailing 100 million ballots and ballot applications. Our most recent research, in September, revealed that 353 U.S. counties had 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens. In other words, the registration rates of those counties exceeded 100% of eligible voters. The study collected the most recent registration data posted online by the states themselves�In Pennsylvania, our litigation to clean up dirty voting rolls there uncovered 800,000 �extra� names on the rolls. In fact, Pennsylvania state and county authorities gave conflicting numbers about their registration list numbers to a federal court. �Federal law seems clear that the presidential contest was supposed to be decided by Election Day. For example, 3 U.S. Code � 1 states: �The electors of President and Vice President shall be appointed, in each State, on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, in every fourth year succeeding every election of a President and Vice President.� On Election Day, President Trump had the votes to win the presidency. These vote totals were changed because of unprecedented and extraordinary counting after Election Day.� Take heart. Proverbs 19:9 says, �A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that] speaks lies shall perish.� Also take heed that you are not deceived by deception about the deception. Alarm Signals of Our Authoritarian Age � Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ When I was very young, I wondered what it would be like to live in an authoritarian society that was like Hitler�s Germany or the Soviet Union. There is no need to wonder anymore because my worst nightmare has largely come true. We are now in an age where censorship and control is the primary goal of various groups. People who own smartphones are increasingly having fewer options when it comes to the repair of their devices. Apple has designed their iPhones so that they will stop working if you try to fix a camera or replace a bad microchip. You are now basically renting your smartphones from the manufacturer. Yahoo news was once my favorite source for world news. I hardly go to the site now because most of what is posted is propaganda. For many years, Yahoo News allowed people to post comments about various news items. About two years ago, they started shadow banning people who post comments that contradict the liberal agenda. In the early part of this year, Yahoo removed all comments from their site. The once powerful conservative-leaning news aggregate Drudge Report has been taken over by some shadowy leftist organization. There are rumors that Matt Drudge had a mental breakdown and sold the site to a tech giant. The traffic for Drudge Report has crashed, and I don�t think the people running it care. They probably consider their investment to be valuable in having the opportunity to brainwash conservative readers. President Trump likes to bash CNN for its ratings fall. The left doesn�t care about traffic flow, earnings or the reputation of their news outlets. Their only fixation is power. If they can turn America into a dictatorship, there will be no Fox News. Everyone will have no choice but to get their news from CNN or one of its clones. Another site that is pointless to visit is Twitter. There were a few conservative voices on this social media site that I liked, but they have been largely shut down. Actor James Woods posted last week about how bad it has gotten on Twitter: �Evidently you can�t even have an opinion on Twitter anymore. �Open forums� by definition allow the free exchange of opinions. �Publications� editorialize and suppress.� I watched the founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, testify before a Senate subcommittee about censorship. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz absolutely tore into him for blocking a New York Post article on Joe Biden�s son Hunter Biden. �Let�s be clear: The New York Post isn�t just some random guy tweeting. The New York Post has the fourth-highest circulation of any newspaper in America. The New York Post is 200 years old. The New York Post was founded by Alexander Hamilton,� he scolded Dorsey. �And your position is that you can sit in Silicon Valley and that you can tell them what stories they can publish, and you can tell the American people what reporting they can hear; is that right?� It was chilling to listen to Dorsey�s response because Dorsey had no emotional reaction to Cruz attacking his company. When it comes to censoring information that benefits people on the right, any lie or action is valid. Glenn Greenwald is a rare liberal who cares about truthful reporting in the news. A couple weeks ago, he resigned from a publication he founded due to censorship. Again, I don�t think Greenwald�s colleges have any clue of the irony in what they did. These people have a mind of Satan and will do anything their master asks of them. Prophecy scholars made a huge mistake on the timing of the rise of authoritarianism in the last days. Some people thought the Antichrist would be the one to set up a Nazi-like society. The reality is that it is here now. When the Beast of Revelation is revealed, there will be very little for him to establish. His job will be to implement the technology that is ready to go. �And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six� (Rev 13:16-18). A Biden presidency would �resurrect� hopes for a Palestinian state - Michael Snyder - http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/a-biden-presidency-would-resurrect-hopes-for-a-palestinian-state For the past four years, the Palestinians have been deeply frustrated with the White House. The U.S. embassy in Israel was moved to Jerusalem, the Palestinian mission in Washington D.C. was shut down, and financial aid to the Palestinians was reduced. Last January, President Trump introduced his plan for a two-state solution, but it was immediately rejected by the Palestinians. Everyone knows that the Palestinians absolutely hate Trump and they were never going to agree to any deal that involved him. So that meant that as long as Trump was in the White House, it was extremely unlikely that we would see a Palestinian state. But now, it appears that everything could change. When Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election by the U.S. media, Palestinians greatly rejoiced. They are absolutely thrilled that Trump could soon be gone, and they are desperately hoping that U.S. foreign policy under a Biden administration will look very much like it did during the eight years of the Obama administration. Of course Barack Obama was a tireless promoter of a two-state solution based on the 1967 lines, and many in the Middle East are anticipating that there could be a major push to finally make that a reality during a Biden presidency. The following comes from a Jerusalem Post article entitled �A Biden presidency resurrects �67 lines, Palestinian state � analysis�� US President-elect Joe Biden�s presidency will erase many of the gains the Israeli Right made over the last four years with regard to Israeli sovereignty over Area C of the West Bank � and reintroduces the concept of a two-state solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict at the pre-1967 lines. The Trump administration had also been pushing a two-state solution, but the map that Trump administration officials were envisioning was vastly different from the one that the Palestinians have been envisioning. And even if they were close to being on the same page, Palestinian officials were simply not in the mood to do any deal with Trump because of a lot of the other moves that he decided to make� He cut off US aid to the Palestinian Authority in the occupied West Bank, formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and moved the US embassy there from Tel Aviv. Trump refused to condemn settlement building and expansion as illegal � in defiance of international law. He also withdrew funding to the UN refugee agency, which millions of Palestinians depend on for education, food and livelihoods. Trump also brokered �normalization� deals with three Arab countries who recognized Israel without so much as demanding Palestinian gains in return, leaving the Palestinian leadership increasingly isolated. But with Trump out of the way, the Palestinians will be very excited to get back to the negotiating table, and that is because Joe Biden and the Democrats seem quite eager to give the Palestinians what they want. The 2020 Democratic Party Platform states that the creation of a �viable� Palestinian state is the official position of the Democratic Party� The 2020 Democratic Party Platform, which calls for the creation of a �viable� Palestinian state, in which Palestinians �should be free to govern themselves,� and explicitly opposes �unilateral action� from either side, is one place to start. Democratic strategist Joel Rubin, who served as Jewish Outreach Director for the Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign, wrote in Israel�s Haaretz newspaper that it was �the most realistic and most progressive of its kind.� And Joe Biden has repeatedly stated that he wants to see a two-state solution based on the 1967 lines� In an interview with The New York Times in February, he affirmed his support for a two-state solution based on the pre-1967 lines, but explained that he supported the Israeli retention of the long time settlements, not defining what he meant. For the Israeli Right, the setback is enormous, given that this summer Israel seemed to be on the verge of annexation � and now it seems as if that possibility is all but buried. Perhaps even more importantly, Kamala Harris is a big proponent of a Palestinian state. As I discussed yesterday, it is quite clear that Biden will not be able to serve in the White House very long and that it will just be a matter of time before Harris is elevated to the presidency. During an interview just a couple of weeks ago, Harris made it quite clear how she feels about a Palestinian state� �Joe and I believe in the worth and value of every Palestinian and every Israeli and we will work to ensure that Palestinians and Israelis enjoy equal measures of freedom, security, prosperity and democracy,� Harris said. �We are committed to a two-state solution, and we will oppose any unilateral steps that undermine that goal. We will also oppose annexation and settlement expansion. And we will take immediate steps to restore economic and humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people, address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, reopen the U.S. consulate in East Jerusalem and work to reopen the PLO mission in Washington.� If Trump�s legal challenges fail and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are inaugurated next January, I believe that it is very, very likely that we will see the establishment of a Palestinian state at some point within the next four years. If that happens, a major red line will have been crossed and there will be no going back. In my new book, I detail many of the things that we should expect to see following the creation of a Palestinian state. Once you understand the consequences for dividing the land of Israel, you will never look at foreign policy the same way again. Unfortunately, most Americans do not have much interest in foreign policy these days. In fact, foreign policy considerations were not really a factor at all when voters went to the polls on November 4th. But the truth is that the outcome of this election is really going to matter in the Middle East. If Trump�s legal challenges are successful and he ends up winning, there probably will not be a Palestinian state during the next four years. But if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win, I believe that a Palestinian state will almost certainly be created within the next four years. The stakes are incredibly high, and it won�t be too long before we know which way things will go. VISIT: PROPHECY WATCHER WEEKLY NEWS: HTTP://PROPHECY-WATCHER-WEEKLY-NEWS.BLOGSPOT.COM
