If we had fired General Patton for his mouth, we would have lost the war.


Or Grant and Sheridan in the civil war.

Good question. The definition in Hebrews is to be caught away or caught up. I will look up the Hebrew word for it and let you know and see how rapture has been has been used in our time. Give me a minute I'll get back to you ok.The Hebrew Bible gives that definition for Thessalonians verses.

Forget the rapture thing and stay on point.

Trump's theatrics is why we love him! He cares about our country. Biden cares more about Ukraine and is for the elite. Trump is the best man for the job. He isn't bought out by special interest groups and America is his priority. TRUMP 2024!!!

I look at things a little differently. Only Trump can immediately step in/stop, or at least slow down, the blatant corruption/abuse of power from day-one. Trump definitely knows the depths to which the left/Democrat/Communist Party will sink...and if Republicans who are fed-up with the Trump drama think the left won't do to ANY/EVERY Republican candidate what they have done to Trump, they're kidding themselves. The left is a vicious mob willing to do ANYTHING to DESTROY their political opponents...AND to "fundamentally transform" this country into another socialist/communist h*ll-hole. If there are other candidates willing to fight the left like Trump can/has, I haven't seen them stand-up and do so...and we don't need another watered-down version of a fighter...we need a real proven fighter

I don't think many people realized what Obama meant when he said he wanted to "fundamentally change" America. He meant he wanted to get rid of our Constitution and start moving us toward global Socialism, which in turn becomes one step away from Communism. But we didn't realize what he was doing until he was well into his presidency. And if Hillary had won instead of Trump, we would be all the way Socialist by now. That's what Biden took up - Obama's promise to "fundamentally change" us!! Which means we will have no more freedoms -- what our founding fathers were running away from and WHY they started our Constitution and our way of government that is based on Capitalism (private ownership versus government ownership of production) and the way they wanted to live their lives: with liberty, justice and freedom for everyone! (Freedom of speech. Freedom of religion. Freedom of the right to assemble!!)

If we let the Democrats/Globalists take over this country, we will cease being the nation that we have successfully enjoyed living in for TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE YEARS! Do we REALLY want that change? Once it happens, there will be no going back!

And to those who argue that we already have Socialism here - yes, we have a few Socialist type of programs like welfare, health insurance, food and housing subsidies, energy and utilities subsidies, and a few others aimed at helping the poverty-stricken out. But for the most part, although the Democrats are trying hard to cancel out Capitalism, we still use it for our production, and it works to keep us independent, living our own lives at our own expense rather than being dictated to by a handful of people who don't have our best interests at heart!

Why on earth do people want to stop living the way we have been, and start living in poverty while the handful of "Elites" (that's what they want to be called!!) have zillions of dollars and we have pittance? Why do we want to become slaves of the government?????

Trump will fight to the end for us and our country to remain the sovereign (self-governing) nation it always has been. He made us energy independent! Biden stopped that his first day in office! Trump filled up our Strategic Petroleum Reserves (our emergency oil supply) to the brim to protect us in case of natural OR unnatural emergencies (and he bought it at a discount price from the Saudi's when he jumped into the middle of a bidding war between Russia and the Saudi's) Biden sold MORE THAN 41 BILLION BARRELS OF IT to the global market, where most of it ended up in China -- He essentially sold our stored up reserves to China!!!

Now, if we have an emergency, like a hurricane or another terrorist attack like 9/11 or anything that causes a national disaster, we will be scrounging around for oil instead of protected like Trump wanted us to be!

If we don't do something about what Biden/Obama/Globalists are currently doing to our country - and soon - we will all (Republicans AND Democrats) be in a world of hurt as we in the middle class see our assets dwindle away into nothing!! They WANT us poor and dependent on them (the government they want to instill in this country) so they can control our every move...and for some of us, our deaths! It's already happening, and I sincerely believe the only one capable of stopping it is Donald J. Trump!!!

I don't know of any other person, other than maybe his son, Donald Trump, Jr., who could possibly save this sinking ship. No one has the ability to stand up to the opposition like he does. Nobody has the financial independence he does, meaning he is not one of those politicians who owes anyone "favors" in order to get elected so that he has to cave on issues he cares about! And THAT is what the left is terrified of....that he CAN keep our nation safe from Globalism/Socialism/Communism!!!

I don't understand why regular working everyday Democrats who will never be anywhere near being one of the "Elite" rulers wants to live the way they will be living under a Socialist regime! The only thing I can come up with for a reason is that they are under a delusion that things will be great and wonderful as a Socialist country...what our media is telling them. All anyone has to do is study what has happened in Socialist countries to the people - the non-ruling class people!

Trump Jr! He's a chip off the old block. Definitely presidential material.

Nice. I like the Patton analogy.

Trumps free flowing manner and off the cuff public speaking causes himself a lot of problems and his enemies a lot of fodder to manipulate and throw at him, but, if you listen to Trump's words and not the edited and manipulated words the left throws back at him, you always know where he stands and that his finger prints are on every policy he backs. Unlike Biden, Trump actually leads. Unlike professional politicians, Trump has little concern for his public persona and much more concern for the good of the nation and all American citizens. Professional politicians just do not know how to handle someone who doesn't let the lies of others effect the course he has chosen to pursue.

That's what the left hates about Trump. His blunt, off the cuff honesty. That's what upset them about the CNN interview with their toughest interviewer. Trump easily survived a planned attack. He won over anyone undecided, thrilled his base, and thoroughly disgusted the lefties.
DeSantis couldn't do that. Only Trump could relax and tell the truth.

It's true that the word rapture is not in the Bible.

The word “rapture” is taken from the Latin “rapio” for the two words “caught up” used in 1 Thessalonians 4:17.

1 Thessalonians 4:17 KJV:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

YES!!!!! That is exactly how I feel. Look at the BIGGER picture. If he gets the job done - and we know he DID do that and he WILL do it again - who gives a đź’© about how he talks? Honestly, that's small potatoes.

What matters is that he can bring us back from the brink of ruination. There is no one who comes even close, except for maybe his own son, to being able to do that!

Trump is the Alpha Male and the lefties prefer to hang out with liars and backstabbers as well as corrupt and incompetent low lives .

It's very clear that Trump had the USA going in the right direction and the left hated that and didn't want to see him have another shot at it.

That is SO true! And I don't know why those who want to turn against him now can't see that....do they really want to side with the left?
