Hi Debi, Abraham Lincoln nailed it my beautiful
friend...we have to keep fighting for our freedom
like our fathers...and their fathers did...or it will
be no ones fault but our own...

I believe God put President Trump here for a reason...
and He is watching over him...God will win over evil...

CONGRATULATIONS on a well earned win you...
I love your poem...and soooooo love your picture...
well written...love much Linda xxoo

Hi Linda, Thanks so much for this lovely review. Yes, I agree with you 100% and let's hope that our unethical governor Walz never rules any part of the USA. We need God back in government, prayer in schools and back in the pledge of allegiance again. And Trump in the White House. The only thing is I hate his arrogance. But it is better than the alternative. Thanks again, hon. Love, Debi

Hi Debi, I guess for me I can see beyond President Trumps faults...I have to many of my own to judge anyone else's...

when he was in the White House this country was flying high...inflation way way down...gas was down...and we weren't counting on other countries for our gas...we had the lowest counts of illegal criminals coming over our borders...and there were no wars started...leaders in other countries respected him...because he didn't put up with any of their crap...and they still do...unemployment was down...and people were working...and he built up the military...all of what harris and biden destroyed...

most people who don't like President Trump...didn't like him before he got in the White House...and that's between silly and just stupid...he's not perfect...but who is...he lived the life of the rich and famous...lucky him...but not a good enough reason to hate him...and yes he stands up for himself...people may not like the way he expresses himself...but that doesn't make him bad...everybody expresses their self's different...he gives millions to different charities every year...and how many presidents do you know didn't take a pay when he was president...only him...I truly believe God put him where he is for a reason...so if God believes in President Trump...so do I...

I hope I didn't upset you my beautiful friend...I cherish our friendship...

and your so very welcome...always...
love you much...xxoo 🙏🙏❤️❤️🤗🤗🌼🌼

Congratulations on your win.

Isaiah 41:13
"For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you."

One political party nor the other has the power to exclude God from our lives.

He will never forsake us!

This one is maybe better if I don't say too much and yet I almost have to. it isn't the people that I am referring to. It is the ones who are in dire need of guidance. The ones who keep letting them across the border and expect me to pay for it. The ones who have my property taxes up over 300% this year because spending is so out of hand. It is so easy when you are spending others money. But 300%? I am so upset about this, as it is on 100 acres. It could break us. We worked so hard for fifty years and now it is so unfair.

Not to mention the bs they teach in schools right now, but they won't allow prayer. I don't doubt that God is looking down with tears and wondering why after He blessed us so greatly.

Ok, I needed to have a rant and no matter what anyone says I will never believe in separation of church and state. I am not looking at it from any other view except Gods. He didn't bless us so greatly so He could be told to get out of everything. Whoever makes it to the White House is scary, but they would do better with God's guidance. And none of this is about what you said. I just needed to get it out, and who better than someone who hopefully won't get upset if you do it. I suppose I could have saved it for an email, but it is the reason I wrote what I wrote in this 5-7-5.

I understand your frustration and do not take offense. I simply meant to point out that I know many people, regardless of political affiliation who believe in God and have the same concerns...

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. Yes, we are divided, and we are being destroyed from within. I'm worry about it being too late to stop it. I'm praying that God will intervene. I enjoyed reading and good luck with the contest.

Abraham Lincoln was spot on.

Who needs enemies like Russia or China when we have leaders who :

are destroying the economy,

have allowed 11 million illegals to cross and enter under their watch,
(this humongous influx has contributed to causing the healthcare and education systems to buckle)

a government that allows psychologists to subscribe puberty blockers (the same drugs used on male sex offenders) to kids as young as 10 ( transgender crap)

a government that allows doctors to remove the breasts of teens and castrate boys (transgender crap)

a government that wants to make its people ashamed of their past (woke crap)

Our leaders are doing a great job in destroying the family unity,

allowing schools to teach nonsense (transgender and woke crap)

I think I made my point.

You are a gem, Tempeste. You are so right about our leaders here. And I am so afraid that the democrats will get back in again. Do you know that our property taxes went up over 300% and that is to pay for the people coming across the border.

We can't take care of our own, and it is so easy when you take it out of the taxpayers pocket. We own 100 acres of cropland and this may very well break us. And do they care? no, because they keep promising stuff that we have to pay for... oh Tempeste, I am sick about this, as I know you are too.
Our governor is the running mate for Kamala Harris. Waltz is a blow ....... and he has almost destroyed our state. He promises to let people come in have their sex change and abortion in our state of Minnesota and here is the worst part. He says, we don't even have to tell your parents. WTF??

And by the way, I appreciate everything you said and agree with you 100%.
Thanks for listening to my rant too. Thanks for the wonderful review and comments, my dear friend. Love, Debi

I think many of us do feel the same about asking God back in again.

I always enjoy a post that gets me thinking. It's sad, but these days elections don't really give us a lot of choices. We definitely need God back. I wish you all the best.

Thank you, Steve and I appreciate that we all feel pretty much the same. Who ever gets in, I pray that we start letting God back into our country. The leadership is in dire need of His guidance.
Thanks for the good luck wish.

It's an idea alright, but l doubt God is going to intervene. We really need to get back to caring about one another, that's the solution. We are all in this together. I wish you luck in the contest. :)

Thanks for your kind comments, but God has continued to bless us even tho we told him to get out of everything. It's time to ask God to come back and guide our leaders. Our leadership needs God, BIG TIME!

LOL, I hope I didn't sound too preachy in my reply. This is just such a scary time for America.
