The Trump Effect :: By Bill Wilson

You know things really have gotten off track when a president-elect is running the presidency like he already has taken office. Case in point is President-elect Donald Trump. His meetings, announced appointments, and public statements are having a tremendous impact all around the world, and he hasn’t taken office, but it seems like he has. Global financial markets have responded positively not only to news of his election but also to his appointments that would impact the economy. Stock markets and general reaction to appointments have taken a turn for the better since the election. There is great promise on the horizon in foreign policy as well with three major indicators of better days ahead.

Trump announced that he would order extensive 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada if the two countries did not move to fix illegal immigration, crime, and drugs crossing from those countries into the United States. Immediately, Joe Biden took issue and publicly stated that he wished Trump would reconsider. The immediate reaction from Mexican leftist President Claudia Sheinbaum was to escalate a tariff war with retaliation. Within days, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Trump’s home to discuss the matter. Trump also talked via phone with Sheinbaum, who has backed off her tariff for tariff stance and is now agreeing to stop a migrant caravan heading to the US. Trudeau said that Trump doesn’t make a threat unless he is prepared to carry it out and that he (Trudeau) will work with Trump to find positive solutions for both countries.

Biden inched the US closer to nuclear war by authorizing the use of US weapons by Ukraine against Russia. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin threatened retaliation. Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky called on America and her allies for more help. In steps, Trump, and all of a sudden, Putin is describing Trump as an “intelligent and experienced” politician capable of finding “solutions.” Zelensky is likewise suddenly interested in trading some of the Russian-occupied Ukrainian land for peace and security—details to be worked out.

This war was going nowhere, was draining American and European allies of billions of dollars, and on the verge of escalating into a world war with Biden at the helm. Trump isn’t even at the helm, and peace could very well be on the horizon. There is also the Biden-Obama Middle East debacle.

Biden sent millions of US tax dollars to terrorist groups like Hamas in the name of humanitarian aid and unfroze billions more for the terrorist-sponsoring Iran. This caused an all-out war against Israel on three fronts—Gaza with Hamas, Lebanon with Hezbollah, and Yemen with the Houthis, all financed by Iran. Since the election, there has been a ceasefire in Lebanon, and Hamas is signaling it wants the same. Biden put the ceasefire in jeopardy with false claims that Israel violated it.

Just effect of a Trump presidency is causing these barbarians to sue for peace, even though Biden is still sending them millions and withholding weapons shipments to Israel.

Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice.”

If the Trump effect is any indicator, there will be rejoicing in the time ahead.

Stupidocrisy: The Rule of Lawfare :: By Bill Wilson

President Donald Trump has maintained his innocence for nearly a decade from the legal charges brought about by his political opponents. While some are still working their way through the court system, none of them have stuck so far, indicating a massive use of the court system for political persecution.

Now that Trump was elected by not only a landslide of the electoral vote, but also winning the popular vote, Democratic Party prosecutors, judges and politicians are rethinking how to use the legal system against him. It no longer seems feasible to use lawfare as a weapon to prevent Trump from winning or to banish him from public life. But is this the end of lawfare?

Probably not. Wherever there is a Democrat-appointed judge or prosecutor, Americans can expect that the legal system can and will be used against those who disagree with the Democratic Party agenda. We see it regarding abortion outreach, the expression of Christianity and Judaism in the public square, standing against the homosexual and transgender grooming of children, oil, gas, and coal companies, and so on.

Remember, if they can do it to Trump, they can do it to you. The election has only redirected the push against those who dare stand their moral ground and advocate for common sense. These tyrannical players will never give up, and they will come after people by accusing them of what the tyrants already do or have done.

Millions upon millions of your tax dollars have been spent on lawfare to prevent a candidate from attaining office. It goes way back to the Mueller investigation on Russian-Trump collusion, which found nothing and has continued through impeachment trials, January 6, paying hush money to a porn star, stealing classified documents, racketeering in Georgia and more. Nothing. Higher courts have rejected the results largely because the laws being used are so obscure that they are not germane to the cases, the evidence is so twisted that it is not credible, and the prosecutors and legal process have been declared unconstitutional. Judges have stayed cases against Trump because they are trying to determine if there is any use in continuing them, now that the people have decided overwhelmingly for Trump.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 comes to mind, “We are troubled on every side, but not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.”

They have used lawfare to destroy Trump and others financially and politically. They threw everything at Trump, but he beat them anyway. There is a point where prosecution turns to political persecution, and that line was long crossed by the Democratic Party leadership. They are corrupt and need to be removed from their positions. It’s not about retaliation, but accountability. They distorted the law to persecute a citizen and ruin him. This is against the rule of law. It’s the rule of lawfare, which is… say it with me… Stupidocrisy.
