BIDEN WATCH: 12.31.22 - The Left's Fixation on Power

The Left�s Fixation on Power � Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ The leftist organizations are Satan�s greatest tool for controlling the world. About 90% of all the news, social media, and universities are in the control of people who areallied with the Democratic party. Having monopoly-level control over these entities is not enough for them. They want 100% control of all forms of media and academia. There are three areas that show their obsession with power: Donald Trump, Elon Musk, andFox News. Normally when a President leaves office, they disappear for several years. Trump has been out of office for two years, and he is constantly in the news. I was looking at DrudgeReport last Wednesday, and the top eight headlines were about him. The press stays focused on him because he�s a leading Republican presidential candidate for 2024. Trump is the center of well over a dozen investigations that have no link to a real crime. The Justice Department has wasted thousands of man-hours investigating this oneperson. I�m just shocked that the American people have not collectively said, �Enough already.� The Democrats are talking about releasing all of Trump�s tax returns to the public. They claim the move would help the American public better understand Trump�s financialties to foreign governments and potential conflicts of interest. Trump�s tax returns are his business. The right to keep your financial information private is a key factor that made America the land of the free. If they do release Trump�s tax returns, I�m sure the press will be shocked by the data. Since he has been under constant investigation for nearly a decade, Trump would bea fool to break any major law. A larger amount of his tax returns has already been leaked to the media. One of the worst things about the fixation on Trump is how negative the press is in writing stories about him. About 20 years ago, it was unthinkable for the media to be disrespectfulto acting or former Presidents of the United States. I was reading one article about Trump, and it was clear the reporter was straining to make every sentence as hateful as possible. When Elon Musk purchased Twitter, the media went crazy. People were saying this was going to be the end of democracy. We quickly found out why the left was so upset by themove. Musk quickly released information that showed that Twitter was in bed with Democrats and was talking to the FBI about how to suppress Republican leaders. Now that Twitter is in the hands of someone who wishes to promote free speech, the government is snooping for legal issues. The US Federal Trade Commission is widening aninvestigation into the company�s handling of user data and police in Southern California, seeking information about an alleged vehicle assault that might involve a member of Musk�s security detail. FTC lawyers questioned two former senior executives in the past month about whether Twitter has been able to comply with the agency�s 2011 consent order since Musk took over,said three people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named, discussing a confidential investigation. Musk�s Oct. 27 acquisition led to an exodus of many of the social media company�s legal, privacy, and compliance executives, prompting the widerinvestigation. All the bad press has likely caused Musk to probably regret buying Twitter. Tesla�s stock has dropped by over 50%, and Musk is no longer the richest man in the world. He recentlyposted a poll asking if he should step down as CEO. The poll had 57% saying he should quit the position. Fox News has been under constant attack since it was founded 26 years ago. I often wonder if they have reporters locked in a room where they are forced to watch the Fox channelall day long. If Tucker Carlson says something that can be claimed as controversial, it will quickly become news on the leftist news networks. I also wonder about the state of mind of the reporters. I would be on suicide watch if I had to watch CNN as my main job. My guess is they look at Fox like a Komodo dragonwatches an injured water buffalo. Because Fox mainly reports on truth, the Leftists want to shut down the news network. You can�t have total darkness if there is a single source of light. The day will come when all opposition to the left is silenced. We don�t know what political party the Antichristwill use to come to power. He would certainly find a friend home with the Democrats. �To open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those whoare sanctified by faith in me� (Acts 26:18). ----------------------------- The Drag On – Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com A search of the Brietbart news website reveals over 16,300 stories with the key words “drag queens.” That’s right. The White House and Biden Administration obsession withdrag queens seems to be the “pop” culture of the Democratic Party in 2022. That, and the attention to transexual rights, appear to be the centerpieces of the left’s most recent addition to their diversity, equity and inclusion storylines. And you know whothe target is: your kids. Drag queen story hours at libraries and schools. Trans puberty blockers and sex change operations for kids under the age of consent. These things just half a generation ago would have been considered child sex offenses, predation,and molestation. Now it’s normal. A November Rasmussen Reports poll shows, “The popularity of “Drag Queen Story Hour” doesn’t include the parents of school-age children, who overwhelmingly oppose the phenomenonin which men dressed as women perform for children. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 60% of American Adults consider “Drag Queen Story Hour” not appropriate for children, including44% who say it’s Not At All Appropriate. Only 29% think “Drag Queen Story Hour” is appropriate for children, including 11% who consider it Very Appropriate. Another 10% are not sure.” Some ten percent are not sure whether this perversion is appropriate, andan equal amount consider it very appropriate. Wow! But it gets worse. Almost half of Democrats, 47%, believe “Drag Queen Story Hour” is at least somewhat appropriate for children. Of those, 19 percent consider it “very” appropriate. Only 41%of Democrats believe it is inappropriate. Some 22% of Democrats believe taxpayer funds should be used for “Drag Queen Story Hour.” The darling of the extreme left, the Washington Post, carried an OpEd by Monica Hesse in June titled “Drag queens are not theones sexualizing drag story hour.” In typical leftist fashion, Hesse then condemns Republicans and conservatives for claiming drag queens are a threat to the sexuality of children. Yet she emphatically states that in her 20s she regularly attended drag shows, “and it made me think in new ways about what it meant to behave as a man, or behave as a woman, to perform masculinity or perform femininity.” This is the dualistic thinking of the liberal. Drag queens are not sexualizing children or making them think differently about their gender and what they want to be when theygrow up, but drag queens have made them think about what it is to behave as a man or a woman. To them, every child should have that experience as part of growing up. This is double-mindedness without even considering the moral aspects of how this type of conditioning,as endorsed by trusted people like principals, teachers, and librarians, could impact the mental health of a child. James 1:8 proclaims, “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” To a liberal, James was only talking about men, which could be a manor not at any given time. It just drags on in, say it with me, Stupidocrisy. --------------------------- 15 Facts Which Prove That A Massive Economic Meltdown Is Already Happening Right Now- by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/15-facts-that-prove-that-a-massive-economic-meltdown-is-already-happening-right-now/ Economic conditions just keep getting worse. As we prepare to enter 2023, we find ourselves in a high inflation environment at the same time that economic activity is reallyslowing down. And just like we witnessed in 2008, employers are conducting mass layoffs as a horrifying housing crash sweeps across the nation. Those that have been waiting for the U.S. economy to implode can stop waiting, because an economic implosion hasofficially arrived. The following are 15 facts that prove that a massive economic meltdown is already happening right now� #1 Existing home sales have now fallen for 10 consecutive months. #2 Existing home sales are down 35.4 percent over the last 12months. That is the largest year over year decline in existing home sales since the collapse of Lehman Brothers. #3 Homebuilder sentiment has now dropped for 12 consecutive months. #4 Home construction costs have risen more than 30 percent sincethe beginning of 2022. #5 The number of single-family housing unit permits has fallenfor nine months in a row. #6 The Empire State Manufacturing Index has plunged �to a readingof negative 11.2 in December�. That figure was way, way below expectations. #7 In November, we witnessed the largest decline in retail salesthat we have seen all year long. #8 Even the biggest names on Wall Street are starting to let workersgo. In fact, it is being reported that Goldman Sachs will soon lay off approximately 4,000 employees. #9 The Federal Reserve is admitting that the number of actualjobs in the United States has been overstated by over a million. #10 U.S. job cuts were 417 percent higher in November than theywere during the same month a year ago. #11 A recent Wall Street Journal survey found that approximatelytwo-thirds of all Americans expect the economy to get even worse next year. #12 A newly released Bloomberg survey has discovered that 70 percentof U.S. economists believe that a recession is coming in 2023. #13 Inflation continues to spiral wildly out of control. At thispoint, a head of lettuce now costs 11 dollars at one grocery store in California. #14 Overall, vegetable prices in the United States are more than80 percent higher than they were at this same time last year. #15 Thanks to the rapidly rising cost of living, 63 percent ofthe U.S. population is now living paycheck to paycheck. In a desperate attempt to get inflation under control, the Federal Reserve has been dramatically increasing interest rates. Those interest rate hikes are what has caused the housing market to crash, but Fed officials insist that such short-term pain is necessary in order to tame inflation. But meanwhile our politicians in Washington are busy creating more inflation by borrowing and spending money at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented in our entire history. This week, an abominable 1.7 trillion dollar omnibus spending bill is being rammed through Congress, but not a single member of Congress has read it. The bill is 4,155 pages long, and U.S. Senator Rand Paul just held a press briefing during which he wheeled it out on a trolley� After the grossly bloated $1.7 trillion Omnibus spending bill advanced in the Senate by a vote of 70-25, GOP Senator Rand Paul held a press briefing during which he wheeledin the �abomination� on a trolley and demanded to know how anyone would be able to read it before the end of the week. Paul, along with the only other dissenting Senate Republicans Mike Braun, Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, and Rick Scott highlighted how ludicrous the fast tracking of the bill hasbeen. Unfortunately, this absurd spending bill has broad support on both sides of the aisle, and that just shows how broken Washington has become. Our system of government has failed time after time, and our politicians continue to spend money on some of the most ridiculous things imaginable. The following examples that were pulled out of the 1.7 trillion dollar omnibus spending bill were discovered by the Heritage Foundation� -$1.2 million for �LGBTQIA+ Pride Centers� -$1.2 million for �services for DACA recipients� (aka helping illegal aliens with taxpayer funds) at San Diego Community College. -$477k for the Equity Institute in RI to indoctrinate teachers with �antiracism virtual labs.� -$1 million for Zora�s House in Ohio, a �coworking and community space� for �women and gender-expansive people of color.� -$3 million for the American LGBTQ+ Museum in New York City. -$3.6 million for a Michelle Obama Trail in Georgia. -$750k for the for �LGBT and Gender Non-Conforming housing� in Albany, New York. -$856k for the �LGBT Center� in New York. And have you noticed that our politicians often prefer to push these types of bills through just before major holidays when hardly anyone is paying attention? No matter who we send to Washington, the story remains the same. As long as our politicians are borrowing and spending trillions of dollars that we do not have, Fed officials won�t be able to win their war against inflation. The Fed can send interest rates into the stratosphere, but inflation will continue to remain high because our politicians insist on showering the nation with giant mountainsof cash. We should all be deeply, deeply offended by what is happening, but most Americans simply do not know enough to care. But once economic conditions get even worse than they were in 2008 and 2009, the majority of the U.S. population will become extremely angry. Of course things could have turned out much differently if we had made better decisions during the years leading up to this crisis. Unfortunately, we have run out of time to change course, and that means that a tremendous amount of pain is ahead for all of us. -------------------------- Government censorship - Bill Wilson � www.dailyjot.com Journalist Matt Taibbi continues to release Twitter Files that document how the federal government coerced Twitter to censor stories that impacted the 2020 presidential election.It also is evident that Twitter personnel were all too eager to withhold information from the Twitter platform at the government�s suggestion. As an example, Taibbi writes, �The files show the FBI acting as doorman to a vast program of social media surveillanceand censorship, encompassing agencies across the federal government � from the State Department to the Pentagon to the CIA�Twitter had so much contact with so many agencies that executives lost track. Is today the DOD, and tomorrow the FBI? Is it the weeklycall, or the monthly meeting?� All along, especially when the Hunter Biden story came out, media outlets and social media refused to carry it, saying it was a Russian disinformation campaign. Turns out,it was a true story as many of us who are real journalists were trying to convey, but were being stonewalled. When President Trump said the �deep state� was trying to sway and control America, he was spot on correct. And even if Trump�s efforts to drain thedeep state swamp were unsuccessful, this remains an issue that every American should be outraged. Americans must demand an end to the powers assumed by these agencies that interfere with and frustrate Constitutional freedoms such as freedom of speech, of religion,of bodily autonomy. Otherwise there will be no freedom. While it may be obvious, it is worth noting that the Democratic Party, including the Democratic National Committee, President Obama, HillaryClinton and other actors in conjunction with the FBI used falsified documents to spy on Trump�s campaign and undermine his chances for election in 2016. The plot continued in 2020 and was deeper and far more effective, incorporating social media platformsand willing actors in the corporate world. And as if that wasn�t enough, the entire system was recreated and perfected with the COVID epidemic, where the government used administrative authority to censor even science and life-saving treatment protocols. Atthe same time, it lied repeatedly about vaccine effectiveness and CDC hospital protocols may have cost more lives than were caused by COVID itself. The more that the Twitter Files and more scientists and doctors reveal what the government is doing to censor religious and free speech, deprive bodily autonomy, and impairthe ability of citizens to choose their representatives, the more it becomes evident that we live in a controlled society. Because of this, our God-given rights are dangling just above hell�s fire on a thin thread. Life, liberty and free will/autonomy aregranted, not by government, but by God. They are inalienable. Governments are established to protect those rights from evil. Hence, Romans 13:3, �For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.� Until they are not. And it is time for Americans,especially Christian Americans, to reexamine government censorship. ---------------------------
