    Yes, that is a very interesting link you posted Babs, good find….especially enlightening was Isaiah's prophesy of King Cyrus and it's relationship to Trump. I believe in written Biblical prophecy 100% as so many have been fulfilled…and all of those to complete perfection…and some of those in our lifetime even! And I believe some people today have been given the gift of prophecy, though some are false prophets so I'm cautious. It will be interesting to see if Trump wins. Johnson, and the Bible for that matter say if we all pray, God will hear our prayers. Matthew 18:20 ("For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.")

    On a superficial note…lol…wouldn't Trump look much better with his natural white hair, white brows, no white around his eyes, and a tan? Yes, this is important…we need another thread for this :D

    While Trump seems to have many enemies who definitely don't want to see him become President, what concerns me is that Trump may be his own worst enemy. It is refreshing to see him speaking truth about what is wrong with our present Government, etc. Yet he lacks self-control over what does come out of his mouth a lot of the time. And it makes me wonder if he did become President how this "foot in mouth" disease would work in running our Country. There's a difference in standing firm in your beliefs and stating as much while showing respect for what others stand for. I keep imaging him sitting down with Putin and not liking something Putin says...and I keep imaging what is going to come out "The Donald's" mouth in that scenerio. Could Trump's "foot in mouth" disease end up being a disaster or bringing disaster on America?

    You're not alone Babs. And now he's really done it with this lawsuit he's slapping on Cruz for some ad he put on TV about Trump. It's not like Trump has never said anything wrong or nasty about anyone. According to the biased CNN News last night Cruz is now ahead in the national polls but not in SCarolina. Who knows, but it's not a good sign to the voters to present yourself as quick to sue people. I haven't seen the ad though.

    The closer we get to casting our votes, the uglier things are going to get and the more mud we will have to wade through to get at the truth. We definitely need Trump"s "telling it like it is" and stirring people to stand up and help bring real change to America. I'm not sure as far as him being President but I am sure that he is the "voice of truth" for many Americans right now and those who are in charge or want to be in charge of our Country are not liking this one bit. It's going to continue to be ugly...or even worse...right up to the day we cast our votes. If we even get to that day.

    That's the thing. Especially the young people want someone who is a "bad boy" that doesn't care about political correctness. And I must say, the younger generation is not so offended at foul language as we are, in fact, many think it's actually cool.

    They're up for a political revolution…well amen to that.

    To me the young people are not looking for a "bad boy"...they are looking for someone to replace "the bad boys" who have been screwing up our government and America for years now. The young people want someone who will stand up for what they want their future to be about...not to keep destroying it so they won't have any future.

    Trump does have a propensity for saying what is on his mind, which some folks do take offense. I too do not like foul language but I would rather it be out in the open rather than a hidden trait that we do not know about.
    Within my own faith I find so many people who we find out that are not the pious people that they portray themselves to be when they are in other atmospheres. In other words, I absolutely HATE hypocracy firstly in myself and then when I see it in anyone else particularly those who are in the public view such as our leaders.

    Ronald Reagan was well known to have a visit each morning with someone who would pray with him but he also did not mince words about the superiority of the U.S. and was also known to have uttered a couple of expletives when he was angered.
    Many people were absolutely horrified when during one of his last speeches prior to his election he told the world that when he was elected president he would immediately bomb Iran if they had not released the 50+ hostages. The U.S.S.R., China, Cuba, N.Korea, just to mention a few countries warned the U.S. about any kind of retaliation regarding Iran.
    Short story is the obvious one. Reagan was elected and the hostages were immediately released, and later the U.S.S.R. fell as well as the Berlin Wall.

    One thing we all have to remember is that we, as a country, have no real friends in the world. We are a super power, both financially and militarily and that is all that the rest of the world "likes" us for.
    Putin has felt comfortable with Obama as president and will continue to do so if anyone other than Trump is elected. Putin is an open mouthed military warrior, and Trump is an open mouthed financial warrior so they pretty much understand each other.

    Long and short is that I do not want somebody running the country who I can walk up to and call a friend. All I care about is whether or not someone can lead us and help protect the personal values of each individual citizen as well as shore up the country before we get drowned in a tidal wave of political hypocracies.

    Oh, I agree with you Babs. But I was talking about a different kind of "bad boy" that the young people like. Specifically Trump's "political incorrectness" of foul language and insults. I was referring to Trumps personality and delivery of his mission….not the mission itself. You're right, Trump being the "outsider", his mission is to destroy the Washington "insiders" from "screwing up America" as you say.

    Thanks for clarifying that Lara. I want to wash Trump's mouth out with soap sometimes as I don't care for foul language either. :)

    It's not as bad as you probably think it is. When Fox News was insinuating the he had used the F-word not long ago, Fox had bleeped him to give that impression, but he hadn't actually used the word. He was repeating what someone in the audience said, and he left a space (a pause) where the word would have been. He didn't say the word, yet Fox bleeped the pause so that everyone would think he had used the word, and then they went on talking about his cursing.

    In the news today is the Pope's statement that Donald Trump is not Christian if he would fulfill his plan of erecting a solid fence between Mexico and the US. I think the Pope is just saying it as a habit but has no intention of interfering in the state affairs. I fully understand that statement of Trump about the fence, that is to keep away the illegal migrants. What would happen to the country if illegal migrants would have their way? Surely the economy will collapse. This is not in defense of Mr. Trump but I find that fence a practical way for the benefit of the US.

    You will find a reference to that happening in this spoken prophecy. :)

    Yesterday, answering a question regarding the Pope's opinion concerning Trump, Falwell Jr. said something that has more substance in it than anything I have heard thus far.
    To nearly quote, he said that it was not our job to elect the best Sunday School teacher like Jimmy Carter to be the president but the best person to do the job as president.

    I do believe that when we try to take a fair assessment of all of the candidates we again should look at how the candidate plans to deal with the problems at hand. Granted, bad language might be a sour testimony of ones core religious beliefs but so is drinking alcohol, use of tobacco and doing drugs which Trump has been touted to have never done. His religious stance is not my job but God's, but it is my job to assess how well he might stand up for those freedoms regarding MY core beliefs.
