Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero? Why do you boast all day long, you are a disgrace in the eyes of God? You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor. You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth. You love every harmful word, you deceitful tongue! Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent; he will uproot you form the land of the living. The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at you, saying, Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others! (v.1-7)I could stop right here and say nothing more. Those who have discerning spirits can see how The Word (v 1-7) applies to our current resident in the Oval Office.
But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever. For what you have done I will always praise you in the presence of your faithful people. And I will hope in your name, for your name is good. Psalm 52 NIV
Think back to all the campaign rhetoric spewed (most of which GOPers say we shouldn't give much credence). Think about all the evil trump encouraged and spouted about every one of his opponents.
Think about all the hateful merchandise sold at his hate-filled rallies and all the hateful chants ignited by him and other spokespersons like Michael Flynn and Jeff Sessions as well as others. Think about it and reflect upon it and then connect the dots to what we see--the reality of the rhetoric--alive and well in the White House.
We know Russia hijacked the election for trump and trump and key Republicans collaborated in the effort--which is why none of the House or Senate GOP have much to say about the disgraceful mess unfolding from the White House. They knew and they wanted power so badly they went along with it. The bad part is--they were instrumental in convincing the Evangelical leaders to go along with their madness. And if any of the "Religious Right" are still supporting this administration, they prove they hate America and all we stand for.
No knowledge of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, or Declaration of Independence has been demonstrated by trump. He has no knowledge of history and certainly not of geography (aptly demonstrated in both trips abroad).
His voice patterns indicate his ineptness at understanding the importance of "reading material" before trying to give it as a speech before the public. He is slow--hesitant--and indicates a lack of understanding how to pronounce certain words. In the presence of truly powerful men--his tone is submissive, not firm and assertive; but at his rallies, he practically screams because he knows those who attend are the undereducated and ill-informed and won't challenge his knowledge about anything. They just accept.
But the last two verses in this Psalm should serve as encouragement for the righteous--those who try to live right before God without committing the atrocities we see committed by trump. We will flourish in the presence of God and all those who committed evil and plotted the destruction of American democracy. We shall be victorious in coming elections and we shall be wise in our selection of people who should lead us for coming generations, so we'll never see the likes of this type of evil again, in America.
I'm Mary Hall-Rayford, and I approve this message. I hope after reviewing the information on my FaceBook page (www.facebook.com/YesIAm2020) , you'll support my effort to bring respect back to the White House and put America back in its rightful place on the world stage--front and center.
