“Other evils there are that may come… yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.”
Our current Civil War:
I must point out that in 2016 a President was elected who was immediately rejected by a certain portion of the population and by state and local governments. They brought criminal legal action against Trump and impeached him before he'd even had a chance to do anything, and accused him of being a dictator and the death of democracy — though it was they who rejected a lawful election and threw the Constitution out the window. Sanctuary laws in defiance of federal authority are in every case the equivalent of besieging and firing on Ft. Sumter.
When Trump won reelection in 2024, the rebels doubled down on their secession from the Union by passing laws against federal officers enforcing federal law within their sanctuary purview, all the time claiming that Trump was oppressing THEM by taking completely proper actions. So by rejecting the results of the election, they are in open rebellion.
And if you say “Trump is no Lincoln” you'd be right. Trump has not arrested and charged with treason the deniers and rejectors of federal authority, including mayors and governors who threaten to prosecute federal officers for enforcing the law. Trump has been far more restrained than Lincoln ever was — though the defiance of the Constitution is no less egregious. Sanctuary laws are exactly the same as secession — a declaration that the federal government has no authority here. They have declared war against the President and openly abused him as has not been done to a President since Lincoln. But the President has not sent federal troops to arrest those publicly guilty of sedition and treason, and take over the defiant government bodies and throw them in jail. They claim to fear Trump's officers — while they are the ones who suppress free speech and try to adjust campaign laws so as to prevent the candidates they oppose from being on the ballot. California doesn't even pretend to be a democracy anymore … but Trump stays his hand.
So, true — he is no Lincoln. He has been infinitely lenient in dealing with people and governments that are in open rebellion against the federal government because the wrong guy made it into the White House.
Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
Jesus anointed that Prophet and Seer.
Blessed to open the last dispensation,
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
Praise to his mem’ry, he died as a martyr;
Honored and blest be his ever great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assassins,
Plead unto heav’n while the earth lauds his fame.
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
Great is his glory and endless his priesthood.
Ever and ever the keys he will hold.
Faithful and true, he will enter his kingdom,
Crowned in the midst of the prophets of old.
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
Earth must atone for the blood of that man.
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice.
Millions shall know “Brother Joseph” again.
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
Build your own faith up. Don’t tear other faiths down.
Share the Gospel and if you’re rejected shake the dust from your sandals and move on.
Show them the love of Christ and let the Holy Spirit do the rest!
Dear Christians,
I think it’s time for mainstream Christians and Latter-day Saints to lay down their arms.
I enjoy a good theological debate as much as anyone, and I’m not saying that should end, as long as it’s in good faith. But, why are we wasting our ammunition in this stupid holy war? (I’m guilty as well.)
While we squabble over irreconcilable theological differences, we forget we largely share social values and can easily live in peace together, respecting each other’s religious liberty…
Meanwhile, we’ve got…
- Radial leftists poisoning our children with all manner of Marxist, postmodern ideology- gender theory, sexual degeneracy, critical race theory, de-colonization, communism, etc.
- A “woke right” that is pushing antisemitism, conspiracy theories, isolationism, anti-capitalism, and sometimes actual Nazism.
- Muslim Jihadist barbarians who are trying to invade Western civilization and make our nations into Islamic State hell-holes.
-Globalist elitists who are intentionally letting those barbarians through the gate because they wish to commit cultural suicide.
None of these groups will protect our freedom of religion. Western civilization is under attack.
You may not consider me a true Christian… I may consider your creeds to be apostate…
But, morally and culturally, we are all Christians. Western Civilization became great because it had Christian values at its foundation.
We should work together to preserve that heritage, and turn our fire towards our true enemies.
Americans deserve free, fair, and honest elections. It’s time to require an ID to vote and prevent non-citizens from voting.
We need to pass the SAVE America Act.
