Thank you god for not dicking up things up more than you already have.... Enjoy the day gents, things will only get worse....
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Jorge, long time since we talked. Long time since I have been on this forum .
I respect you and thank you for your service.
But
GOD has not turned this world into what it is. We have.
In the beginning GOD created heaven and earth.
And said it was “very good “
He did not create heaven, earth and hell. Hell is man’s
creation for choosing free will.
We turned our back on him, not the other way around.
Decades of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us just that.....

Substitute God with white, upper middle class bitches who “just couldn’t vote for Trump” because he’s mean. Add in their phagg husbands that wear their jeans cuffed with fairy boots, flannels and big black framed glasses and use beard oil, scores of degenerate, parasitic drug addict welfare dependents and old Dixiecrats in the south too fuggin stupid to realize that the democrat party evolved into the socialist party, then I totally agree.
Things are only going to get MUCH worse.
Keep your powder dry in the meantime boys.

I believe in God and Jesus, and Jesus told us the devil is very real. Some of us may have given in to the evil, but I know too many good men and women to give up hope.
Happy Thanksgiving to my friends at the ‘fire and their family’s.

We do have a choice, at least those of us that are free thinkers. Sadly the left side of the isle has forsaken independent thought and do what they are told. Their odds of survival are poor.

Well...if it is going to get worse, we might just as well make the best of this Thanksgiving.
Best wishes all.

I wish we had a media outlet that had the balls to make life miserable for these fools who most likely will be in charge after January.. Since we don't it'll be a long four years of more dumbing down an already illiterate electorate.

More of a basebalI guy but I used to watch some football, so to use an analogy from that sport: The other team is in the red zone driving for the go-ahead touchdown; heck, it may even be first and goal for all I know. Every call has gone against us, the refs look like they are in the opponent's pocket. There's still a chance to force a turnover. Even if they score, there's still time on the clock to retake the lead.
But eventually the clock will run out and when it does, God's team wins. We may not pull ahead until time is expiring, but we will win. God's ways are not man's ways and He operates on a far higher level than we can comprehend while we are on this earth. God is not indifferent, otherwise He would not have sent Christ into our midst to redeem us. Read Romans 8:18-23.
At some point the God's clock will run out and Christ will return and make all things right. In the meantime give thanks, have faith, and keep fighting in whatever way He leads you.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

Jorge,
Align yourself with my school of philosophy. Optimistic pessimism ! You look forward to the inevitable bad stuff that you onow will happen! 🤣. No disappointments !!! All I need as they say, "the wisdom to know the difference." But hey, I'm on the plus side, survived 30 years of Naval Aviation and 600 or so "traps"....at night !

Jorge, the lesson I learned in 'Nam...
Things can end in only two ways: they can kill you or not.
If they kill you, your problems are over.
If they don't, they weren't a problem.
As I look back at the nearly 50 years since I learned that, I remain absolutely sure that nothing I have survived was a problem. Nor will the future be - either way it ends.

Why would GOD bless a country that has turned thier back on him. Truth is, as there is no perfect man sans Eashoa There is no perfect government. We are the next Babylon.

I had to look up Eashoa. Funny, in all my years as a Christian I had never seen that term.
Anyway, yes, there is no reason for God to bless a country that has turned its back on Him. But then, there's no reason for God to bless anyone at all, is there? And yet He does, out of grace and love. But at some point He is going to pull the plug on the mess we've made.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.
