See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. ~ Deuteronomy 30: 15-16

JANUARY 19, 2017 and the Trump family arrive in Washington, D.C., for the inauguration, 584 days after the announcement on June 16, 2015 that Donald J. Trump was running for president.

Defying all odds, the end result is that We the People have elected the bull in the china shop. The dour looks on politicians’ faces at the inauguration were hard to mask. The message has been sent and the establishment has been put on notice. Second only to the founding fathers have we seen such political history in the making. The future looks bright for the citizens and very dark for the elite and all who work against the country. Fasten your seat belts, as I sense we’re in for the ride of our lifetime.

A few inauguration reporters stationed where both Democrat and Republican congressmen were seated, observed noticeable gasps in the immediate area during Trump’s inauguration speech. The culture in Washington has become so self-serving that the thought of actually representing the interests of their own people, as opposed to their own self-enrichment now draws gasps.

Trump’s inauguration speech has the fingerprints of both himself and Steve Bannon all over it. There is most certainly a new sheriff in town!

Noted in passing: First salute received and returned.

But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. ~ Deuteronomy 30: 17-18

Yet another bullet that America dodged on November 8, 2016: 4 years of lecherous Bill Clinton back in the White House. Watch the dirty old man salivating, even smacking his lips, at Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, at Friday’s Inauguration . . . .

Bill and Hillary, twenty years of criminality making deals with and accepting bribes from the most evil people on the planet, and now the promises cannot be kept, and they are out of power. Oops! Bubba’s look of abject fear when he realized Hillary had caught him ogling yet again, is classic! It could be First Lady Melania Trump, but he clearly appears to be mouthing ‘Ivanka’. Heck, since old habits die hard, he likely was ogling them both, and God only knows what was going through his debauched mind.

Their future was all based upon a Hillary presidency for protection, and they are now alone, with at least the Clinton Global Initiative being walled up and mothballed. We may see Hillary approaching President Trump for protection, which he may well grant, while she spends months exposing twenty years of political intrigue and deceit to the new FBI director. My head is beginning to  spin like a top!

Following the inauguration  descended the lewd and crude with language unfit for a family publication .. some protest, some kind of ugly…

Then there descended a blitz from purgatory in the form of protests supposedly about women’s rights of one form or another, which basically fell into one almighty rant against the majority of American citizens who elected Donald Trump.

That and an overwhelming theme of women’s reproductive rights, and avid, avid support for Planned Parenthood, the biggest baby-killers on the planet, let alone the biggest producer and seller of baby body parts. The language used from these so-called ladies of protest was of such a foul nature as to be unfit for a serious family publication, but for those with strong stomachs, the link to the Mail Online report is available below.

The Secret Service have already declared their own war on this protest in promising to investigate the jack-booted, “pussy-hat-wearing” Madonna, after the singer told the gathered assembly that she had thought about ‘blowing up the White House’.

The degenerate music icon caused more controversy by continually dropping the F-bomb, sparking a slew of apologies from broadcasters airing the protest live. Some ‘role model’ she is for all the young snowflakes.

She ended her rant by describing her rage at the overwhelming election result (again, smearing well over half the nation with her bellicose rhetoric), while Ashley Judd shamelessly joined Madonna in spewing lewd rants against the new President with personal attacks not only on Trump but also his family, including daughter Ivanka.

So much for ‘peaceful protests.’

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. ~ Deuteronomy 30: 19-20

Meanwhile, God is watching us…

From a distance

You look like my friend, Even though we are at war. From a distance, I just cannot comprehend, What all this fighting is for;

From a distance, There is harmony, And it echoes through the land. And it’s the hope of hopes, It’s the love of loves, It’s the heart of every man; It’s the hope of hopes, It’s the love of loves; this is the song of every man;

God is watching us, God is watching us, God is watching us, From a distance;
God is watching us, God is watching, God is watching us, From a distance.

Costly grace is the treasure hidden in the fields; for the sake of it a man will gladly go and sell all that he has. It is costly because it calls us to follow, and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ. It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer, “The Cost of Discipleship” (all for Christ at the hands of the Nazis)

President Trump is not afraid to give God all the glory. America isn’t about “me, me, me” anymore. It’s all about making America great again “One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Trump’s inauguration speech hit the proverbial nail right on the head. In lock-step with his prolonged commercial success, his vision is solid and good, while some of his statements probably gave aneurysms to the whole generation of political whores in Congress, on both sides of the aisle, and embedded in the D.C. bureaucracy.

Trump’s vision of the world and of the United States, while not perfect, is a good place to start to saddle those powerful winds of change, which will sweep cancerous neo-conservatism and neo-liberalism into the dust bin of history.

In his January 11, 1989 farewell speech to the nation, perhaps the greatest president of modern times, Ronald Wilson Reagan, drew from the earliest of examples of freedom by quoting from John Winthrop who brought the first English protestants to American shores aboard the sailing ship Arabella. In his own words:

“I’ve spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don’t know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors, and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That’s how I saw it and see it still.”

That vision lives on in the mind, heart, and soul of the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity .. yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs .. and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. The words of the wise are as goads, which are given from one shepherd .. by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end .. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. ~ Ecclesiastes 12: 8-14
