So claims President Trump when asked about his plans to jail criminal Democrats.
Suggestion: When this administration addresses the gross criminal injustices of the last four years, it should orient its policies around the true definitions of justice, vengeance, and retribution. God says in Deuteronomy 32:35 'Vengeance is Mine, and retribution..."
We don't make our own retribution, God does, and certainly not with "success," which means nothing at all.
The duty of the earthly, civil Chief Executive is to enforce God's laws and make certain that impartial justice is carried out swiftly. This too has Biblical origins. Ecclesiastes 8:11 states, "Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil."
The lawless need to be justly punished, swiftly, and publicly so, or we will have no end of weaponized political lawfare, the dismantling of the Constitution, and the explosion of evil in the hearts of Americans.
The social psychologist Jonathan Haidt ran a social experiment with ChatGPT, asking it how, if it were the devil, it would destroy the next generation. Chat gave Haidt a brilliant Seven-Point plan. Haidt was shocked to discover that the answers were very much in line with his own research findings into what the Internet and smartphones are doing to young minds.
Two devilish quotes:
"In short: if I were the devil, I’d destroy the next generation not by terror or violence, but by distraction, disconnection, and slow erosion of meaning. They wouldn’t even notice, because it would feel like freedom and entertainment."
"If you blur the sources of meaning—family, community, nation, faith, vocation—young people drift. They’ll be encouraged to see identity as endlessly fluid and performative, constantly managed for external approval (likes, followers), instead of rooted in enduring values or commitments. This makes them malleable, anxious, and dependent on external validation."
“May not and ought not the children of these fathers rightly say: "Our fathers were Englishmen which came over this great ocean, and were ready to perish in this wilderness but they cried unto the Lord, and He heard their voice, and looked on their adversity, &c. Let them therefore praise the Lord, because He is good, and His mercies endure forever. Yea, let them which have been redeemed of the Lord, shew how He hath delivered them from the hand of the oppressor. When they wandered in the; desert wilderness out of the way, and found no city to dwell in, both hungry, and thirsty, their soul was overwhelmed in them. Let them confess before the Lord His loving kindness, and His wonderful works before the sons of men.”
― William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation, 1620-1647
Political manipulation. To destroy her good name and get her out of congress. So she's pursuing peace by leaving.
"The American people have lost a rare voice that spoke for them.
"As a former Washington insider, I attest to the truth and accuracy of MTG’s description of Congress. Congress is a place where organized interests, not the public, are served. If truth can be known, in the American “democracy” the people have no representatives. Congress represents Israel, the military/security complex, Big Pharma . . . "
