Sure, I passed judgement with my vote and that did not include speaking evil of men made in the image of God.

And see it's best not to mingle the government structure of the Kingdom of God/Heaven with the secular government of the United States because it brings speaking evil of men into the equation. On election day we(We the People) do in fact go to the poles and elect a Mayor based on their performance or promise. If the current Mayor has preformed badly we judge that we will vote them out and another with promise into office. We expand this same process to the council members then to the Sheriff of our county and to the city judges and county judges. we determine by vote who are our Senators,Representatives,Governors ect. and the process expands outward to the POTUS. We determine who is preforming badly(speak evil) and voice those opinions. Kamiia Harris is a prime candidate of the same in that we speak evil of her performance on the US border and Biden when we speak of his open border policy. I did not shy away from the judgment that We the People possess because the ruler/leader of our structure of government holds the power of judgment and the ability to determine evil,good,performance ect. of it's elected officials. The one(s) who hold these powers are the nations leaders/rulers. We the People are the rulers,leaders of our nation.
 
That was rude I suppose please forgive me. I think I should just leave the forum for a while.

Things are heating up around the world, I believe we are in the last days. I never remember my parents discussing politics with their friends when I was growing up. Maybe social media has played a part. But today it seems everything hinges on politics in some way. I remember back in the day if you knew the president/PM and their sidekick that was all we cared about. We didn't know or care about any other jobs. The world went round somehow and we didn't bother with it. I guess that was the blessing we had as babies being born after a world war. I was a 70s baby all I remember is a lot of orange and brown and Tupperware. I feel we're close to the Lords return. We all bicker back and forth here. But I hope and pray for my loved ones not yet saved. That someone would minister to them where I can't. I only want to see them there. And above all, that is the most important to me, souls saved before it's too late.
 
Our wrestling is against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

So who are they?

1. You can go online and get a list of FreeMasons and Pagans and those involved in witchcraft and who go to Covens. You could pray for their salvation.

2. But if you listen to those saved out of witchcraft give their testimony they will tell you that many of them were Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses and even Catholic priests. So you can pray for them as well.

3. They will also tell you that they control politicians both local and federal. So again, you can go online and find a list of all the governmental authorities (politicians, judges, city councils, etc) and pray for them.

4. They will also say they have this influence over the military as well, so again, you can go online and find out all the military leadership of this country.

5. But then they will talk about the richest people on earth as though they also are fully involved in witchcraft. So you can go online and gets lists of billionaires and pray for them.

6. But then they will tell you that they use the music industry for witchcraft and that the entire industry, not just rock and roll but also country western and even much of Christian pop music is controlled by an industry that is fully into witchcraft. So you can go online and get a list of their executives and pray for them.

7. But of course, you can widen this to include all fortune 500 companies.

The entire idea of the founding fathers was that you should have the opportunity to speak openly about the elected representatives, for better or worse. Mixing some dubious interpretation of what the Bible says about the not so representative leaders appointed by the Romans is not the case here. There was no voting those people out of office.

It seems many US citizens think or believe the POTUS has the power to judge, to demand, to take action, to exercise every power afforded to the ruler of the United States of America under our Constitution as long as they believe it's not them themselves. Explain the Constitutional meaning and reason behind We the People and that We the People are the actual Ruler's and they become afraid to embrace the responsibility. It is a bit frightful I admit to see it Biblically though because the judgment of God will determine if a nations ruler's are wicked or good, productive or non productive. We cannot cast the judgment of God to a scapegoat by putting it upon our servants head by calling them elected officials. There's no reason more important for us to vote than that we were born We the People, the rulers of the United states of America. We need to really look harder at these people we elect and stress the point that regardless of the party they follow exactly our laws.
 
And what did #45/47 say about #46 when the latter was in office? All bad things, so I think it’s safe to assume that, we, the people, can exercise the same rights.

Donald Trump is your standard of righteousness?

2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

I’m not wise anyways so I can do that.

We looked at the new district map they just passed and where me and my wife live there's two Republicans running against each other in the mid terms. Our children have grown and moved out and the districts they live in has two Democrats running against each other now but no Republicans at all are running in those districts. That's not good if we were all voting GOP because out of the 8 possible voters only me and my wife can vote because the other 6 have to vote for one of the two Democrats or not vote at all.
 
Trump's tariff strategy is going to end up benefiting other countries. Especially Canada.

LOL did you actually watch the video........LOL It was made in the 1st quarter before the tariffs even went into effect and the video says they are moving because corporate taxes are to high.

In fact under the video in the info about it it lists the reasons the companies are moving.

"In this eye-opening video, we uncover the top 10 U.S. companies relocating their operations to Canada in 2025. From tech giants to manufacturing leaders, these corporations are crossing the border—and the reasons behind their move might surprise you. 📉 What’s driving this 2025 business exodus?
Lower corporate tax rates in Canada 💸
Favorable AI and fintech regulations 🤖
Skilled labor and R&D incentives 🧠
Green energy policies and ESG goals 🌿
Political and economic uncertainty in the U.S. 🏛️"

You ought to catch the speeches of Pierre Poilievre since he has been keeping a running tally of the billions that are leaving Canada for the US an using it to smack around the carny.

So anyway your video is not on tariffs at all so is this a mistake by you because you don't understand the difference or an attempt at blatant deception?
 
President Donald Trump’s hike in tariffs is projected to generate enough revenue to cut federal deficits by $4 trillion over the next decade, according to the latest analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The nonpartisan agency said it had updated its estimates of tariff revenues as part of the development of the short-term economic forecast covering 2025 to 2028, to be published on Sept. 12.

The CBO report found that increased tariffs—many targeting imports from China, Mexico, Canada, and the European Union as well as automobiles, steel, and other goods—have raised effective tariff rates by about 18 percentage points compared to last year. If these rates remain, primary deficits would shrink by $3.3 trillion and interest payments would fall by another $700 billion, bringing the total deficit reduction to $4 trillion over 10 years.

Headed to the Supreme Court now to get a final ruling on are the tariff's legal. Will they still remain in whole or part or be done away with in whole or part.

The Court of Appeals ruled that they are not legal but will stay in effect till Oct 13th. More or less because the lower court is aware that this will be appealed to the Supreme Court so allowing them to stay in effect till it's ruling.

Most Trump tariffs ruled illegal by appeals court, dealing major blow to trade policy

you know, when you hear something that you are not familier with, or sounds wild and crazy, that does NOT automatically make something a cuckoo conspiracy theory.

how do you know something is not true if you yourself do not look into it???
