It seems like anybody who has a thread of influence was wrong on this huge win by America's President Elect, Mr. Donald J. Trump.And now today I'm hearing tons of people from the opposite shore cry for unity.I don't recall hearing very much about unity before today but I got my daily fill from neighbors, friends, Acts posters, Christians & others about how awful it would be if Mr. Trump were to win the presidency ...alas, now he has won & so far we're all still here.Even the stock market rebounded & came within 40+ points of the single best day of trading ever.Here is a partial list of what we might get under Mr. Trump's presidency:

Peace and safety! then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape. - Thessalonians 5: God-HonoringChrist-CenteredBible-BasedSpirit-Led

I was thinking the exact same thing today when a friend compared the election here in America & the Brexit in Europe as a symbol of peace & safety. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus! Empty nest syndrome is for the birds!Email me at: [email protected] planters are focused on just one thing ...introducing people to Jesus!

To be very honest, I really felt good this morning when I read on the internet that Trump had won. I hope he is a good leader. I voted for himI am glad he won. I was bracing for the imperial rule of Hillary, I am glad she and Bill are now on another direction. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Internationally, Trump is not popular. Maybe people on the street in Russia are happy about this. People in Israel may be happy, since his statement about putting the embassy in Jerusalem (he did take Cruz's idea about that, didn't he?) sounds very pro-Israel. The rest of the world, which doesn't know about our internal struggles, hear's sound bites of Trump insulting people and saying comments that could be considered racist. I have a colleague who has finished his PhD coursework in political science. He thinks Putin wanted Trump to win because he thinks he can manipulate Trump by flattering him. I told him maybe he said all those positive things about Trump to help Clinton win. Trump is unpredictable. I think a lot of people in the world want someone somewhat predictible, normal, and reliable, especially if he is in charge of a very powerful military force, including the nuclear arsenal. One of the concerns I am praying about for him is that he will gain an appropriate filter between his mind and his mouth. The presidents (Communist kings?) of North Korea are known for their crazy-sounding boastful bluster. I head a Mexican diplomatic official share her opinion to a group of college students concerned about Trump. Someone asked her about it, and she said it was a sign of acceptance of intolerance and hatred, that there were lots of Eastern European immigrants in the US, but that was okay because they were white.She didn't seem to get that one of the main issues was

If Kennedy, who was appointed by Ronald Reagan had sided with the other conservative judges (Alito, Roberts, Scalia, and Thomas), the measure would have failed, so why blame it on an Obama appointee? Kennedy was supposed to be Robert Bork - but Dems wouldn't let him through. He chose Kennedy with no real record and hoped for the best. Reagan was wrong - but not sure he could have gotten any conservative through with the legislature against him.Trump has 2 years to get it right

I wish Republicans had that resolve, though McConnell is looking pretty good right now for waiting to approve a justice. True Bonnie. We have been very critical of him and the leadership, but this is one example of the fact that they have not been completely worthless. There are some good people in Kentucky and they reelected him again. BTW, he addressed the term-limits question again. He said we already have them, its called an election.

First, an Obama (or Hillary) appointee would ABSOLUTELY be liberal and would tilt the court completely to the left. True, Kennedy is a conservative traitor. Reagan tried and hoped, and should have tried appointing with more of a history to judge conservative credentials. But, hindsight is 20/20. Someone noted he probably couldn't have been successful in getting a proven conservative confirmed. I think Reagan tried and misread Kennedy.That said, at LEAST we have a CHANCE of a conservative justice with Trump. With Hillary, no way. As I've noted in other posts, I am not fond of Trump, but he was the least bad. I hope he will learn to be more diplomatic. If he can learn to be as strong in his beliefs as he is now, without the bafoonery and bad language, we can have hope. There was zero hope with Hillary.I hope allegations of his sexual aggressiveness is wrong as that is obviously no less acceptable whether his name was Trump or Bill Clinton. But, I remain highly suspect with timing of his accusers to suddenly appear in October. That said, his locker room banter and his lewd comments certainly add an element of credibility for his accusers. He certainly has the persona that would suggest he thinks he is God's gift to women, so I acknowledge he could be guilty of such conduct. Neverthless, what was the choice? Throw away our vote for a 3rd party? Indeed, it would have sent a message, but we would have President Hillary today. 3rd party votes succeeding in allowing Clinton to have more popular votes than Trump. (About 4% went independent and 1% green party). Hillary would have received almost all the green party votes and a part of independent (that were originally Bernie supporters), but Trump would have likely had enough of the 3rd party to get the majority. If indeed, the independents were mostly Bernie voters, then Hillary would have won if those voted directly for her. But personally, I think more would have sided Republican than Hillary, but I don't have data to support that.
