    seems like it for sure because think about it. So many were finally going to watch congress yesterday and listen to all the arguments over the election fraud all day. But nope, That didn't happen and now and in the darkness of night when no one watches they approve the fraud in congress.

    Well we know this for certain: The "new president" is a Democrat and Democrats are majority in both Senate and Congress.

    So, going forward the next two years especially, everything will now be their fault. :)

    The average Democrat will also suffer.

    I know "schadenfreude" isn't a Christian virtue, but it's going to be VERY difficult for me not to feel it for people who voted "Biden." :whistle:

    I think we all feel gut punched. But as I prayed and surrendered this ("Jesus you take care of it") I felt a wave of peace. We pray and then we trust that God hears us and will answer us. What we (me) often forget is that sometimes the answers are seemingly far different than what we prayed for. But we are children of the Father. If we ask for bread He will not give us stones. This world is not our home. We are traveling to the Father. The institutional church insulted God and Our Lady with the pachsmama debacle. Sin has consequences. But having said that I still believe that the remnant are being heard and Heaven is moving in a mighty way. As a very holy priest once said long ago when we thought the world was terrible (back in those halcyon days of 80's)"Why do you read the world's news. Read God's news." And he held up his Bible. We had great hopes for DJT but our real hope is and should be in God our Savior. "For with God nothing shall be impossible"(St Gabriel)
    "When all seems lost all will be saved" Our Lady of Good Success. Back to the Rosary! And to sacrifices and fasts.
    What I want to say to my poor husband who voted for B and has wanted to be rid of DJT "be careful what you wish for" but I won't. Silence seems to be what is called for right now. "Be silent before the Lord" (Habbakuk 3)

    Interview with a man who went into the Capitol. He doesn't seem to have realised that antifa were there. He makes some very good points - what ARE people who feel they have been defrauded supposed to do? Interesting too that the genuine Trump people were praying in the Capitol, not rioting.

    I'm usually good at being very tight-lipped, but recently let an in-law "have it." Still unsure why she did a 180 on caring about "the future of this country" and figured it's "my fun time" since 2017. o_O Said my peace, now back to being silent.

    In total agreement, I also pray for the truth to be revealed. I can't get the images of those who broke into the Senate chamber out of my mind, they looked like demonic beasts. :eek: It actually sparked a nightmare about President Trump, and I don't usually recall my dreams, let alone dreaming about a political figure. Perhaps it will take a Biden presidency to wake up those who have been fooled into believing that this new administration will create an American utopia. It won't be long before it all unravels.

    I had a dream about PT, perhaps a year ago now, of finding myself near the end of a large shopping mall to which an airport terminal was attached. Standing near me was PT, two other persons to board a plane with him, and the plane's captain (speaking to PT). Knowing I wasn't to board the plane, I continued (as though impelled) into a large store and quickly (deliberately) found my way to its center, comprised of books and other multimedia ware, surrounded by three tall shelves. I sat down and began leafing through a graphic novel, feeling safe in that area.

    100% agreed!!

    For all these people saying Biden is our new President are you serious? Our pessimism is very dangerous. I will never accept him as so. For God and Country.

    I’ve heard many were praying, but it appears as though some followed in a few bad actors...not Trump supporters. . Just chaos.

    I
    The election was rigged...plain and simple. He may sworn in as president, but he is a fraudulent president. So if some want to refer to him as president, I guess technically he is, but he is certainly not a legitimate president. Regardless, Harris most likely will be running the show until either God rights this situation or we get her voted out. Our goal for the next four years needs to be focused on fighting to retain our freedom and working on a new candidate to get them out in four years. We cannot throw in the towel. I’m praying that Trump will lead these efforts. He has 74 million supporters that supported him....not the rhino Republican Party. No better motivation for an angry electorate to undo this fraud election in four years than those who elected trump only to see these socialist/ communist that will take over our country thrown out next term.

    Another thing I found so strange in all of this. I was watching C-Span live as congress began to approve the electorate. Once we got to Arizona it began and the Senate left the room. At this time news was already breaking that the Capitol had been breached but the arguments started. This easily went on 5-10 minutes before they decided to lock down congress and stop the arguments. I was even thinking to myself, why are they still arguing when we all know there is a breach. There is no way this would have taken this long. As soon as there was a breach, it would have stopped instantly and these congressmen would have been evacuated out the back immediately.

    I'll admit that I never liked Trump. But I like Biden even less. I voted for Trump this time just because I didn't want to see Biden and Harris in the white house. Well, it looks like that's who we got, like it or not. Our biggest thing to do now is to pray and, if called upon, fight for whatever liberties we need. Like freedom of speech and religion. I think our freedom of speech has already be trampled on too much. Political correctness is the rule of the day, and congress is trying to back that up in support of the LBGTQ people. Prayer and speaking out. I am working on the praying part, I just need to learn to speak up when the need arises. And in a deliberate and honest way. As the bible says, "Speak the truth in love." We may be accused of being hateful, but that's their problem. I won't lie just to make someone else feel better.

    I will reluctantly say one thing: I honestly don't know if the country could've endured another four years of Pres. Trump, considering all the ruthless forces arrayed against him.

    Whatever he accuses the opposition of, they make it happen. Most notably Leftist agitators GLEEFULLY doing all in their power to "make the USA a [bleep]-hole country" (riots, city blocks burned down, etc.) after his alleged (denied by others) insult towards 3rd world countries.

    So now Leftists and others must deal with the consequences.

    We'll have to as well, of course (sadly!!). But I will absolutely refuse to listen to their complaints when their "Utopia" fails.

    Also, his insistent concern about rigged elections.

    The Democrats, I do believe, also deliberately made that happen.

    Whatever Pres Trump says, points out, asserts -- in a warning fashion: Enemies make it happen to spite him.

    It's open and obvious, except to those with a blind hatred of him.

    Small wonder the Democrats are absolutely brazen. They aren't even "hiding in plain sight" -- they're IN plain sight, and enough fools laugh along and cheer them on as if they're simply proving he's wrong. o_O

    "Speak the truth in love."
    I’ve had to pay a very heavy personal price for speaking the truth in charity. I’ll likely die suffering the consequences of it, but a loved ones eternity is at risk and I’ve had no other option. Hardest thing in life I’ve ever had....and continue to do. I’m trusting God will use this suffering in a redemptive way for my loved one. The pain in incalculable now....but the reward may be exceedingly more....because it’s eternal. No question about what I had to do.
    My senecio may be difficult and different from your circumstances, but the end results are the same. The only option is Gods way......

    Offer it up.....there is no other way.
