Trump Was Not the Real Winner in the Mueller Investigation

Source:  truthfeed.com
Lots of people are calling the Mueller report a win for Trump. I'm certainly glad all the illegal spying and Mueller's part of the ridiculously expensive witch hunt (most comprehensive investigation ever), which was based on pure slander (even the most liberal medial moguls admitted behind closed doors that the Russia collusion story was completely false from the beginning), to overthrow a surprisingly successful POTUS, is finally over and that his innocence has been upheld.
But I don't see how Trump was truly a winner in this investigation. Trump was rightly exonerated, but he has been denied the presumption of innocence by the powerful mainstream media and most Democratic leaders for years. Trump, his family, and hundreds of associates or contacts have suffered more for crimes they did not commit than the political elite before them have ever faced for heinous crimes we know they committed such as Benghazi, Uranium 1, Pay-for-Play, Clinton's emails, rigging the Democratic primary, illegally redirecting DNC contributions into Hillary's campaign and the subsequent DNC buy-out & takeover, etc.
I'm relieved that the mainstream media and both the Democrats and Deep State Republicans who have been conspiring for the past two years to overthrow Trump have been exposed for their repeated slander. They hoped to falsely create a dark shadow over Trump's presidency and to distract from all his achievements for the good of the majority of Americans. I hope those who actually believed all the lies are more discerning now and recognize the hatred and coup attempt behind so much of the media's words and works.
If there is a real winner in all this, it's Russia. Russia has been using social media and hackers to interrupt our elections for many years. That much is no new revelation. They spread lies through these platforms that hurt both political parties because Putin's goal isn't to side with one party or the other, but rather to stir up hatred and dissension which ultimately divides and weakens us. The mainstream media, Democrats, and Trump haters from every political persuasion have thrown our nation under Putin's foot by believing and spreading this slander. Instead of working for the nation's good, they have torn it apart. Visit Democratic led cesspools like Chicago, Seattle, New York, and San Francisco and talk to the homeless and drug addicts living in the excrement covered streets or in the desperate neighborhoods consumed with gang violence for a few ideas of where these leaders should have been spending their time and taxpayer money instead of attacking Trump's family with false accusations and unjustified investigations.
Consider all the lies hurled at Kavanaugh and what he and his family suffered for months during the judicial hearings, not based on any evidence, but purely on political hatred. The Trump family and all associated with them have been through similar persecution for over two years. Some are rotting in prison for lesser crimes that had nothing to do with Russia collusion. When will it end?
Until we can move past our hatred, demand an honest press, and uphold truth over our personal political preferences or vendettas, America will remain the loser. The only way that Americans can truly win is to come together as one nation under God again.

Reasons for the Rising Popularity of Socialism

Why has socialism and government dependence (for everything) gained so much popularity despite socialism's perfect record throughout history of destroying every civilization that tried it. Why are these Marxists/socialist ideas becoming so popular in America, especially among young people, when our nation was founded to be the antithesis of socialism and political tyranny? A few reasons that came to mind follow.


Many friends, parents, and educators have noted that government mandated curriculum pushes socialist indoctrination in the schools, especially at the university level, but the roots of rising socialism go so much deeper than the education system.
When considering the Judeo-Christian values that guided our founding fathers when drafting the Constitution, the depravity of the human heart emerges as a predominant theme underlying the carefully designed balance of powers Our founding fathers, deists and Christians alike, knew the sin nature would drive people to abuse their power and that unchecked power will always corrupt the motives of the heart. So they developed a system of checks and balances to ensure the government was big enough to protect the nation from her enemies without becoming powerful and corrupt enough to self-destruct.
The secularization of society and the false idea that morality is relative have certainly contributed to this failure to recognize mankind as fallen and prone to corruption. If each person's morality is individually chosen instead of determined by a universal law written into the hearts of all mankind by a creator God, then no action by one person can be judged as right or wrong by another person, not even rape or murder.
I spoke with an agnostic who was an ardent Bernie supporter during the last presidential election. He could not stand Hillary because of her corruption. Her crimes seemed to grow in number and degree as she gained power. She was among the most powerful women in the world as evidenced by her lucrative pay-for-play deals through the Clinton Foundation and her career long history of living above the law, never facing just consequences for her crimes which were evident to all and would put anyone else in jail. This young man insisted that Bernie was different, and that he could manage the power benevolently, without caving to corruption. Shortly after our conversation, however, Bernie took the bribe from Hillary's campaign and bowed out of the race without contesting the obvious illegal campaign fixing to prevent him from ever having a chance. It only took him enough hush money to buy a beach front home to abandon his cause. Bernie has been bought off for most of his political life. He even got kicked off a commune for failing to contribute, sucking them dry, just like socialist tyrants do to every nation they rule. But I digress...
Helicopter parenting also seems to be a contributing factor. Kids are raised believing they have no sin nature.Their parents swoop in and remove any consequences before their children have a chance to acknowledge their wrongdoing. Parents threaten teachers and school administrators who dare write their kids up for behavioral issues or give them bad grades. This new generation isn't being taught a decent work ethic because everything is given to them from participation trophies in sports to parents fraudulently buying them admission into prestigious universities. Undeserved passing grades are given out like candy in universities which are graduating people like Ocasio-Cortez with economic degrees when these students have no comprehension of the most basic math concepts and cannot discern between fantasy and reality.
Kids aren't taught how to wrestle through their struggles or to own their shortcomings and wrongdoings in a way that is productive. Mass shootings are blamed on guns, mental health issues, or the drugs used to treat depression, but the shooter isn't deemed a sinner, capable of great evil. Ilhan Omar blamed her constituents' decision to join ISIS on a society that failed to include them or show them compassion instead of acknowledging their choices as wrong.
Our culture sees no sinners from a Biblical perspective who can only be saved by Jesus. Progressives instead make up other sins like political incorrectness or global warming to gain power over voters. Socialists want people to view the government as their god, savior, and provider who will take away their guilt (falsely imposed by the government itself). But only a perfect, holy God can possess all power and remain perfectly loving, just, and righteous. The Tower of Babel account illustrates what happens when government power tries to replace God in the heart of man.
If we constantly make excuses for others' wrong choices, refusing to acknowledge the sin nature or the ability of power to corrupt, and if we raise secularized, entitled children who are not motivated to work for anything, then it's our fault when they vote for socialist candidates who will inevitably take and squander our freedom, our money, our prosperity, our livelihood, and all that is good about America while giving us nothing in return.

Safe and Secure When Father is Near

As I watch my children grow up and try to prepare them for all the burdens, pressures, fears, and responsibilities that accompany adulthood, I'm reminded of how safe, secure, fearless, and carefree I was as a child when my daddy was near. He prepared a home for me and provided all my needs. My children also experience great peace and security when their father is close.

Awakening to all the harsh realities of this fallen world is tough. Even the best earthly fathers cannot be there for us all the time. Their time is limited, and work calls them away from home. They make mistakes and have regrets. They get sick and become tired. They grow weak and frail, and their children must eventually face the world without their daddy by their side.
Earthly fathers are an imperfect reflection of our perfect heavenly Father who goes with us wherever we go. He never leaves us or forsakes us and casts out all fear (Deuteronomy 31:8). Our heavenly Father isn't just near us, He indwells those who trust in Him and receive Christ as Savior. He protects, comforts, encourages, strengthens, and provides all our needs. He fully satisfies us and prepares a perfect home for us in Heaven forever. He never grows weak or tired. (Isaiah 40:28-31) His unconditional love is everlasting. His power, knowledge, and wisdom are infinite. Therefore, we need not worry or be afraid. We need only gaze upon the goodness, greatness, and bigness of God to understand how tiny our problems really are. May we draw on His strength to face our fears and relish His presence, enjoying sweet fellowship with Him made possible by Christ's shed blood for us.
May we come to Him as little children, free and fearless because we trust Him and know Him intimately. Who's your daddy? He's the King of Kings, Creator, Savior, omnipotent Lord over all.
