In August 2005, nearly two decades ago, I wrote,

“The unilateral retreat from Gaza by Israel has revealed much about the peace process.  It shows the true heart of many.  Over the weekend, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas signed a decree giving to the Palestinians the land in Gaza vacated by the Israelis.  Almost immediately, Hamas, the terrorist group and soon to be a major successful political party among elected Palestinians, sent its gunmen to take over the central square of Gaza City.  Against the backdrop of a sign that read, ‘My dream is not going to be completed without Jerusalem,’ a Hamas spokesman declared, ‘This retreat [by Israel] does not mean the end of our battle, but it is the beginning.’

“Promising more terrorism and violence, the Hamas gunman continued, ‘We will not stand with our hands tied as the remainder of our land remains occupied and our holy sites are desecrated. We will work to strengthen the resistance in these areas, for the resistance is the only thing that will kick them out of these areas.’  

“Hamas has launched a very effective propaganda campaign to make Palestinians believe that it was Hamas, not a unilateral decision by Israel, who was responsible for the evacuation of the Gaza settlements.  With an eye toward the newly set January 25^th Palestinian elections, the Hamas political campaign has begun.”

Well, Hamas won that campaign. Eventually, as it remains today, Hamas won the support of well over 70% of those living in Gaza today. The “Palestinians” support Hamas and its acts.

With Joe Biden and the rest of the world trying to pressure Israel into standing down against the terrorist entity that wants every Jew eliminated from the face of the earth, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran continue to send the message that terrorism pays. They continue to press a very firm mission that there will be no peace until the Jewish state of Israel does not exist. Yet, Biden and his ilk fail to recognize that the terrorists are telling the truth. They have been saying the same thing since George W. Bush forced Israel’s hand in evacuating Gaza. Moreover, the terrorists have been shelling Israel and committing terrorist acts continuously for 20 years. Nothing changes. And Biden, above all, has even funded these recent terrorist attacks by giving Iran, Hamas, and the Houthis billions of dollars.

The two-state solution is really the state of reality versus the state of delusion. We see this delusion every single day in political leaders and so-called intelligent people at the most prestigious universities around the world. With pro-terrorist organizations using ignorant students at college campuses across America advocating for a free Palestine from the river to the sea, what is it that keeps politicians and the left-leaning woke crowd doing the same failed thing again and again, expecting different results?

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 says, “And for this cause God shall sent them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

This phenomenon is systemic in today’s global society. It is worse than… say it with me… Stupidocrisy.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has taken steps to solidify the deep state (administrative state) by publishing a final rule that protects government employees from losing their jobs in the event of administration changes after a presidential election. The new rule is in response to former President Trump’s efforts when he was president to remove government employees who were advancing the administrative state rather than serving the will of the people.

The OPM’s new rule protects thousands of government employees that Trump may have fired due to their efforts to use federal agencies to undermine laws, constitutional rights, and impose undue regulation and bureaucracy on citizens.

Trump had created a “Schedule F” to reclassify thousands of government employees as political appointees, making it easier to fire them. The OPM stated,

“In the first week of the Biden-Harris Administration, President Biden revoked an Executive Order issued by the previous Administration that risked altering our country’s long-standing merit-based civil service system by creating new excepted service schedule, known as ‘Schedule F,’ and directing agencies to move potentially large swathes of career employees into this new excepted service status. This attempt would have stripped career civil servants of their civil service protections that ensure that decisions to hire and fire are based on merit, not political considerations.”

What it really does is cauterize the employment of leftists seeking to undermine the Republic.

The closer to the election, the more nervous the Biden Administration is about having a new president remove leftist hires trying to remake the government into a statist entity. OPM’s Deputy Director Jason Miller openly admitted this in his statement, saying,

“As part of the President’s Management Agenda, it is a clear policy of the United States government to protect, empower, and rebuild the career federal workforce, and this final rule does just that.”

The left has caught wind of a Heritage Foundation effort called The 2025 Presidential Transition Project (Project 2025) working on an implementation plan to “pave the way for an effective conservative administration: a policy agenda, personnel, training, and a 180-day playbook.” Project 2025 seeks to fundamentally reorient the Executive Branch.

This represents the first time in history conservatives have planned to systematically dismantle the unconstitutional fourth branch of government known as the Administrative State or Deep State. To help them achieve this, they are recruiting, vetting, and training over 4,000 conservatives to implement this vision.

Project 2025 seeks to restore Constitutional government—the very thing Joe Biden and his party of leftists want to prevent, and they are attacking Project 2025 as a plan to implement American Fascism. The concept is to rid the government of what Obama and Biden have done to “remake America.”

Isaiah 32:7-8 speaks of how the devil devises wicked devices to destroy the poor:

“But he who is noble plans noble things, and on noble things he stands.”

Let us pray the noble plan is guided by the hand of the LORD.
