Against Nice Podcast Jim Pfaff

In this podcast, Jim Pfaff addresses the basic problem DeSantis and Haley supporters have with Donald Trump. They believe he is going to lose bad and that he will be a disaster if he is elected President. I disagree.
Some DeSantis supporters claim it will be a disaster if Trump is re-elected. I claim Trump is on his way to re-election if things continue as is and if elected how his foreign policy record is what we need. He was among the best of any President. His feud with Tillerson had as much to do with Tillerson as Trump. No one is without blame just because "well, you know....Trump." But the results were real and (I will repeat) in the top of all Presidencies. That's an objective fact. The result are numerous:
1) Peaceful relations started with North Korea
2) The Abraham Accords
3) No wars
4) Russia kept at bay and a move to LNG from Russian Natural Gas in Europe
5) China at bay
6) NATO countries increased their financial participation.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg praised the U.S. president: “Let me thank you for the leadership you show on the issue of defense spending. … It is really having an impact because … allies are now spending more on defense.”
7) A Middle East regional alliance against ISIS
8) Freedom of Navigation (FONOPS) in the South China Sea pushing back against Chinese attempts to control the most significant area of international trade
9) Began moving ASEAN to bring the US into fuller cooperation reducing China's influence in that organization
Just to name a few.
Maybe the only foreign policy mistake he made (and it's a big one) is not supporting the Hong Kong freedom movement which allowed China to gain effective control of the city-state in violation of the 1999 treaty between Great Britain and the CCP.

World politicians and big corporations are scared of Donald Trump. They don’t claim to be. They’re just concerned, so they say. They are wringing their hands about threats to “democracy” and the the propagation of “misinformation” and “disinformation.”
In this podcast, I share a video where I explain how Kevin Roberts President of the Heritage Foundation schooled the people at the WEF. Did they listen to him? Not really. They are arrogant and dismissive of everything he says. But he holds his own.
I explain what’s behind the WEF arrogance and why Kevin’s responses to their queries were perfect as a response to their pretentious, smug demeanor.

Poll shows mail ballots are actually misused.
Here's a link to the Rasmussen/Heartland poll l I mention in the video. It reveals as much as 21% of mail ballots are filled out by someone other than the voter who received it or was submitted by a voter who knew they didn’t live in the state or district where the vote was to be placed.

We don't yet have the actualy transcript of the private testimony. That will be coming later. But we do have a thread on the X app (fomerly Twitter) which outlines some key parts of the exchange between the Congressmen on the committee and Hunter Biden's former business partner Devon Archer.
Here's a link to the GOP House Oversight committee's X thread.

Join us for a fascinating discussion with Bruce Gore, a professor and retired Attorney from Spokane, Washington, who has invested years into the exploration of the Bible's connections with history and the implications of this knowledge in our understanding of the Scripture. Listen in as Bruce shares his journey from a newsman to college professor, how his growing concerns with dispensationalism, and his discovery of R.C. Sproul, which led him back to his passion for teaching. We delve into his experience with teaching at the Oaks, Classical Christian school, and how this led him to create his unique course 'Historical Context of the Bible'. 
We're also unpacking the influence of Christian beliefs and the Church on American culture. Bruce and I discuss the origins and evolution of dispensationalism, its impact on how the Church interprets end time scenarios, and how the various interpretations influence how Christians deal with culture. We explore the current darkness in American culture, the role of the Gospel in the public square, and how Christians have responded to the challenges. 
The conversation doesn't stop there. We navigate through the concept of unalienable rights, the interpretation of Romans 13, and the role of government in society. We discuss the need for Christians to uphold the laws of the Bible, how law is represented in the Old Testament, and the importance of the Constitution. We examine the influence of Christianity in political opposition, the early Church's response to the perceived threat from Rome, and how Christians can use their gifts to make a difference in the world today. Listen in as we explore the political philosophies of the Old Testament, compare Hammurabi's Code with the 10 Commandments, and reflect on the holiness of God as the common thread throughout history.
