Trump is already back peddling on his campaign promises. This is an excellent example why I am not a Republican or Democrat! They all break so many promises to get elected. For all my friends in New Mexico, democrat governor Lujan Grisham probably is the worst ever at keeping promises right up there with Biden, who in my book is the worst President in our history. New Mexico governor releases proposed budget for next year. Where is all the pot money???? What has improved in the state? Longtime Biden adviser rips ‘rationale’ of Hunter pardon: ‘Attack on our judicial system’ By the way, has anyone seen the Vice President? I do not trust either party. I trust my Lord. Look at the DEMS and GOP….I do not see JESUS when I look at their politics. Just 4% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview, and just 37% of Pastors have a Biblical Worldview. I have come to believe that the majority of Americans love their politics more than JESUS! Christianity continues on a downward trend in America. So very, very tragic.
BBC Reports
North Korean troops have been killed fighting Ukrainian forces in Russia’s Kursk border region, the US has said.
These would be the first reported casualties since it emerged in October that North Korea had sent around 10,000 troops to reinforce Russia’s war effort.
Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, the GUR, has also said at least 30 North Korean troops had been killed or wounded in fighting over the weekend.
The BBC has not independently verified the claims.
The North Korean troops, none of whom will have any previous combat experience, are believed to have spent their first weeks in Russia in training and then in support roles.
On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian had begun to use a “significant number” in its assaults in Kursk, part of which Ukraine has occupied since launching a surprise incursion in August. More Here
President-elect Trump is making a politician’s pivot from candidate to officeholder while resetting voters’ expectations about time and his sway.
THE HILL Reports:
During an hourlong press conference Monday at Mar-a-Lago, Trump amended campaign vows to fix some of the globe’s most intractable problems. He once said he’d end the war between Ukraine and Russia before taking office.
That’s a month away. Forging a lasting deal between Ukraine and Russia to end a war that began with Russia’s invasion will take longer, judging from Trump’s remarks about the scope of the conflict and his reticence to reveal if he’s spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin since Nov. 5.
“We are trying to get that war stopped, that horrible, horrible war,” he told reporters, apparently referring to his team. “It’s a tough one. It’s a nasty one. It’s nasty. People are being killed at levels that nobody’s ever seen.”
The largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II has cost tens of thousands of lives on both sides, and Trump described seeing the images of “carnage” left behind in portions of Ukraine where rubble and wasteland are what remain after Russian shelling. Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Paris this month during the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral.
Trump during his victory speech last month said, “I will govern by a simple motto: Promises made, promises kept. We’re going to keep our promises. Nothing will stop me from keeping my word to you, the people.”
Mark Twain once said, “The only difference between a democrat and republican is the spelling.”
America needs a third party so very badly, but corruption and money keep that from happening. Years ago I supported the Tea Party, but the GOP hijacked it, never to be seen again.
The GOP has a very slim margin in the House, its going to be a circus…….same circus, same old clowns and new clowns. If you want to really know how I feel, just give me a call……..
From years ago……..Pamela Camerra-Rowe, professor of political science, discusses what the Tea Party stands for, why it has succeeded, and its impact.
The Tea Party is a decentralized, populist movement that formed in 2009 in response to the financial crisis and the election of Democratic President Barack Obama. While the movement is fragmented, its members are generally united in their beliefs in limited government, free markets, low taxes, and individualism and in their intense negative views of President Obama and the Democratic Party. At the height of the Tea Party’s popularity in 2010, a CBS/New York Times poll showed that some 55 percent of Republicans supported the movement.
And, in my memory of Tea Party politics, while its fiscal views were laudable, its leaders openly turned away from support for ‘social conservatives’ who held a Biblical Worldview. Many in the movement wanted to avoid persons who prioritized the sanctity of life (read: abortion) and instead, chose to focus solely on fiscal matters – as if the moral decay in the country was irrelevant. Consequently, the movement ‘died on the vine’. This is part of the problem facing all political parties, considering the U.S. was founded by believers who felt that the success of our nation required persons of high morals to maintain the government under our constitution. And, considering the complete moral decay of the current Democratic Party and the recent weakening of the plank in the Republican Party regarding abortion, Pastor Dewey’s concerns are valid! As always, the Answer is, and will always be, Jesus!
Very good points Chuck. I am blessed to team with you for GOD.
