@FirehouseSubs Thank you very much for the BOGO for Veterans Day! I enjoyed the Thanksgiving Turkey sub (w/xtra cranberry of course) and the wife loved her gluten free Steamer! Both were great, appreciate the love🙏!!
@PenFed are you going to fix your mobile app/online system anytime soon? It’s been two days now and your system errors out any time I try to pay my CC. Nothing but problems since you “upgraded” your app/system.
@DavidLimbaugh Let me get this straight? All this diabolical stuff happens on his watch as the most powerful man on the earth in control of the most powerful government...every tool at his disposal...& your take is..."its not all his fault"...good grief.
The war is the cost-of-living issue for a lot of voters. Treating them as separate is the sleight of hand.
When people say the war cost the election, they mean the focus on the war over American people…their struggle was dismissed. They feel it at the pump and in the grocery aisle. Hormuz disruption drove fuel prices up, which shows up in the data as “economy” and “cost of living.”
“End the war” ranking high among defecting 2024 Trump voters and “cost of living” ranking high in broader exit polls are describing the same problem from different angles.
The principle of dealing with Iran was never the main complaint. The complaint was the prolonged economic hit from how it was handled. Pretending those are unrelated is the actual gaslighting.
The GOP lost ground in part because it treated blind support for Israel and a path to war with Iran as non-negotiable. A lot of that was sold to Christians as a spiritual duty. The KJV doesn’t require it.
Salvation is Christ covering sins and us accepting that gift. John 14:6 …no one comes to the Father but by him. Acts 4:12 …no other name. Romans 10:9-13 …confess and believe; no difference between Jew and Greek. Galatians 3:28-29 …if you’re Christ’s, you’re Abraham’s seed.
Being Jewish doesn’t cover sin. Supporting Israel doesn’t cover sin. Only Christ’s blood does. The elect are those who receive that gift, not those who back a political state. Genesis 12:3 doesn’t turn foreign policy into a test of faithfulness.
It wasn’t the Iran war, despite promises of no new foreign wars.
It wasn’t the Epstein debacle, despite promising to release the Epstein files.
It wasn’t glyphosate immunity, despite MAHA promises.
It wasn’t absence of any deep state arrests, despite promises of deep state accountability.
It wasn’t higher cost of living, despite promising to lower the cost of living.
It wasn’t alienating the most prominent voices in the coalition that got him elected.
No, it was “because most of the conservative podcasting world poisoned them against Trump.”
This is a ridiculous conclusion to draw from yesterday’s results, and indicative that the lesson has not been learnt and the mistake will be repeated in 2028 unless something changes.
