Selective Justice and Entrapment leads to Tyranny
The federal government’s prosecution against Michael Flynn has been a travesty from day one. He is the one who has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with a Russian official. What got him into trouble is the simple fact that he was the national security adviser to President Trump and he was targeted by FBI agents to get dirt on Trump.
Flynn broke the law, but what everyone should understand is that the FBI didn’t ask him these questions to learn the truth, because they knew the truth. They weren’t trying to obtain more information; they were simply giving him an opportunity to lie. He was told he didn’t need a lawyer. This was just a “standard” interview.
The FBI should be renamed the Federal Bureau of entrapment. After hearing James Comey bragging about how he nabbed Flynn, entrapment is the only way to describe this operation. Michael Flynn was a three-star general who served his country from 1981–2014. Oh, but now all the good has been wiped away by one tiny error. A liberal judge added to the insult against Flynn by asking prosecutors if they should have charged Flynn with treason. Judge Emmet Sullivan did realize his vindictive comment may have crossed the line, so he moved Flynn’s sentencing back to March.
Comey, by his own self-admission, leaked privileged government information, he lied to congress, and he lied to the American people. He will never face jail time because we have developed a system of selective justice. The liberal media and the Democrats call the shots, and the Republicans can’t do anything even though they controlled both houses of Congress and the Presidency.
Nancy Pelosi recently said that a House committee will “take the first steps” toward obtaining President Trump’s tax returns once Democrats take control of the House. “There is popular demand for the Congress to request the president’s tax returns,” Pelosi told reporters. “I’m sure the White House will resist, so the question is, ‘Where do we go from there?’”
Pelosi has no right to gain access to Donald Trump’s tax record. Unless there is clear indication of a crime, a court will be needed to force the president to turn over financial documents. A few years ago, her statement would get her into hot water with even the most liberal civil rights group.
Incoming New York Attorney General Letitia James said she has big plans to thoroughly investigate the business dealings of President Donald Trump and his family when she takes office next month. “We want to investigate anyone in his orbit who has, in fact, violated the law,” James told NBC News.
She is even thinking ahead about counteracting any pardons that Trump may offer to people. “I have concerns with respect to the possibility that this administration might pardon some individuals who might face some criminal charges, but I do not want them to be immune from state charges,” said James. To be able to press charges against anyone Trump may pardon, a bill to change New York’s double jeopardy laws will have to pass. James, who campaigned on passing this bill, said she is confident it will pass “within the first 100 days.”
This is great news for all the New York slumlords, gangsters, and other criminals. Letitia will be too busy investigating Trump to bother with them. Since this woman has clearly violated the code of conduct of what it means to be an Attorney General, she should never be allowed to take office.
I thought that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be too stupid to do any immediate damage to the government. When she was mocked by conservatives, she informed her political foes that she will have subpoena power once she takes office. “Please, keep it coming – it’s definitely a ‘very, very large brain’ idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month,” she said. It looks like lying to Congress will soon become the next great sin.
All this selective justice and entrapment doesn’t disappear once Trump leaves office. If Mike Pence was to ever be president, he would become the new center of the political storm. Any Democratic president would likely have Republicans want their chance to take down a president. The most likely outcome is a system that uses state prosecution powers to establish a dictatorship.
Because all human government is doomed to fall into the hands of a global tyrant, I see the rapture as the only hope to escape from injustice. In God’s Kingdom there is only truth and liberty.
Luke 21:36 says, “Watch therefore and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Christmas and Advents
Christmas 2018 is upon a world filled with anticipation, expectation, trepidation, and abomination. This year isn’t overly different from any other Christmastime in many ways.
Some anticipate a celebration of the first Advent when the Christ child came amidst tidings of great joy through angelic exultation. Some are filled with expectation that the time of Christmas celebration will bring at least some moments of peace to otherwise tumultuous, daily routines of life.
Annual family get-togethers, church Christmas presentations, and exchanges of gifts still reside at the heart of the Christmas season in America. But, there can be no denying that there is an overt design and dark, visceral movement to change America in ways meant to divide and conquer Christendom. For, if the evil that constitutes the nucleus of this movement has their way, Christ will be forever relegated to non-entity status as the way is prepared for the advent of their own version of Messiah.
Thus, for many believers, where there should be even greater anticipation and expectation of joy at Christmastime, there is increasing trepidation.
We sense that the spirit of abomination is a growing infection, a metastasizing evil intent upon invading and trans-morphing every vestige of cellular, founding principle built into the U.S. Constitution.
Politically, we watch daily the incessant assault on all that is rational. The growing numbers in the U.S. who fall under the spell of the insanity that rules the ideological left is frightening. They cannot see that we are losing the country that has provided the liberties we–and they–enjoy…freedom like no other nation in history has been permitted.
These see the turmoil and chaos in Europe, where the populace has to riot en masse to survive the impossibly heavy taxes their socialist leaders have imposed. Yet they, for some unfathomable reason, desire to embrace that system. The protesters have to die in some cases to make those leftist leaders understand that the people want no part of the climate-change rules, regulations, and taxation the globalists demand. Yet the so called “progressives”–the political left in America–cannot make the connection. The way things are going on in France is exactly the way this nation is headed, if they have their way.
Instead of learning and teaching a different ideology than socialistic insanity, America’s so-called higher education professors continue to preach from their academic pulpits the religion of ecological Mother Earth worship under the socialistic, ideological framework.
Religiously, the world–including much of America’s political establishment–embrace that socialistic, Utopian quest. At the same time they hold Catholic Pope Francis up as the kind of religionist the young should follow, if any religionist at all.
That Pontiff has said that all will eventually go to Heaven, that there is no Hell, and that there are many ways to God, not simply through the ways presented by the Christian faith–the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, whether wittingly or unwittingly, this pope, the ideological left and the globalist elite all look forward to an advent entirely the opposite of the First Advent, when Christ came to earth to seek and save those who are lost.
These who form the dark movement to bring America into compliance with the new world order, who are determined to destroy America as founded, look for the one God’s Word calls “the abomination that makes desolate” (see Daniel 9). They are looking for the great political leadership that will correct the horrendous mess they, themselves, have made of things. They are looking for the advent of Antichrist.
But, we who name the Name of Christ Jesus can take assurance as we observe Christmas 2018. We look back to that First Advent and that baby in the manger as proof that God the Father is still in complete control. All the evil we see tracking across the geopolitical and religious landscape is right on target to fulfill that great promise that the Second Advent–the Second Coming of Christ–is on the immediate horizon.
The first phase of that Second Advent will be the Rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ. Convergence of events prove beyond any doubt to the discerning believer that great event is about to happen.
“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).
Now that promise straight from the heart of God is certainly reason to have a very Merry Christmas!
