Jan. 20, 2017 was the day that Donal J. Trump became the 45th President of the United States. Obviously for all of those who voted for him this was a wonderful event. The flip side however has been anything but joyful and happy. Leftist clothing designers vowed to and refused to dress the new 1st Lady, Melania Trump, the election results were challenged in every way conceivable, attempts to change the minds of the Electoral College Electors with death threats were made, and finally, 89 democrats sat out and boycotted the inauguration proceedings. So called protestors were bussed in and paid to disrupt and riot by far left organizations associated with Billionaire George Soros resulting in trash fires, windows broken on businesses, police cars smashed, and even a limo being set on fire. Last but far from least, Pravda wing of the democrat party which is now the media, have been completely unhinged.

How will this all fare for our new President? I suspect that President Trump will endeavor to accomplish everything that he talked about during  his campaign. I also think that President Trump will be met with relentless attacks from democrats and the media who are more than capable and willing to use any and every tactic whether factual and truth based or not.

The United States of America is far more divided along every imaginable line than anytime in history except for the US Civil War. The Obama regime under the guise of fairness and social justice, went out of the way to promote an atmosphere of us vs. them with regard to politics, economics, gender, religion, and certainly race. Law enforcement has been demonized, vilified, and presented as the enemy fanning the fires of racism like never before. Rioting, looting, and destroying property has been deemed protest rather than rioting by an overly politicized Dept. of Justice more concerned with political correctness than actually enforcing the law.

After taking office in 2008, Obama was quick to point out to his opposition party that he had won the election and that if republicans wanted to change anything that they would have to go and win elections of their own. Certainly not the attitude of someone looking to work with the opposition or try to unify the country. Then there was also the comments of Valerie Jarrett who was the real power behind the empty suit that Obama is. A further look at Valerie Jarrett can be seen below.

And then there is the media. To keep up with the democrat party, the media has had to turn hard left and become more and more radicalized. During the Obama regime it was common place to see every network spewing the talking points that were given them by the democrats or the White House. It was learned that during this last campaign cycle that it was not uncommon for the press to feed the democrat questions that would be brought up during debates, or that permission to rewrite or revise stories was given to Hillary Clinton or her cronies. Instead of presenting facts, truth, and events as they occurred, the media now decides what they think is relevant for us to see and then go about mischaracterizing, spinning, and twisting stories into propaganda that suits their agenda. During this past campaign cycle, we saw the rise of “Fake News” which the media began using to hurt or destroy Trump, the republicans, and anyone who disagrees with them or their far left agenda. The media would literally take stories that they knew were false but if it was useful for their purpose, would run with it and deal with the fallout after the fact. No longer is any thought or concern given to truthfulness, objectivity, or even attempting to be unbiased in any way. No longer constrained by the shackles of truth, objectivity, or being unbiased, the so called mainstream media has become nothing less than the attack dog for the democrat party presenting any propaganda that is useful to them or their political ilk while refusing to report the truth about their opponents and working to utterly destroy anyone who dares to think differently from them. Is it a stretch to see that the so called mainstream media has become nothing less than the propaganda machine of the left? Very much like the Russian state machine known as Pravda or similar to what Joseph Goebbels used during the rise of the Nazi party.

Interestingly enough, Goebbels learned everything from the American father of propaganda:

Edward Bernays

Propaganda: “a message designed to persuade its intended audience to think and behave in a certain manner. Thus advertising is commercial propaganda. Or institutionalized and systematic spreading of information and/or disinformation, usually to promote a narrow political or religious (or commercial) viewpoint.” – from Business Dictionary

The last thing that I would expect would be for the “Media” to be fawning over President Trump. I doubt that Chris Matthews will have tingling up his leg anytime soon.

Why is Israel important? That is a broad topic that could require countless volumes of intellectual discourse to begin answering. To address this question much more simply and to keep from having to spend several years of college level research and Biblical study, I will utilize several forms of media to assist in answering why Israel is so important. Some quick facts to think about and remember would be that Israel is God’s chosen people and nation. Israel is also one of the United States staunchest allies. And, Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. All of these points are of incredible singular importance but let’s dig a little deeper and consider the facts and points addressed in this short Youtube.com video, The most important video about Israel that you will ever see. This video gives us a very clear explanation why Israel is so important.

Also, there is the SevenBiblicalResons written by Pastor John Hagee of Christians United For Israel. This article gives clear and concise Biblical reasons why Israel should be revered and honored instead of the opposite which we see happening today. The reasons listed in this article by Pastor Hagee are of fundamental and extreme importance as well as educational to those lacking anything other than cursory knowledge of Israel.

Far too often today we see demonstrations of nothing less than pure hatred for Jews. Not understanding the premise for such hatred caused a search for explanation that would make sense. One great explanation is presented by PragerU in this great little video, Born to hate Jews.

Similar to the PragerU video because my upbringing took place during the 1960’s on it was to my consternation to experience fear of Jews simply because they were different that what our culture of the time deemed acceptable. Choosing to go my own way rather than to simply follow blindly what the crowd was doing, my choice was not to participate in calling Jews ugly names or ostracizing them because of our differences. I chose to learn more about them and build on what we had in common instead of staying apart because of what we differed on.

As an adult, I have always been horrified by the way that Israel and its people are treated by the rest of the world and have always resorted to questioning the reason why this tiny little nation inhabited by a very small population in comparison to most other nations around the world, is so hated and despised. Understanding that Islam and Israel would not be very amenable to each other based on extreme religious differences is one thing but Israel is subjected to non stop terror attacks on an almost daily basis. The Jewish people are forced to live in a non stop and constant state of attack awareness every minute of every day. Imagine simply trying to go to the market to feed your family but having to fear rocket attack or suicide bombings no matter where you are.

And finally we end up considering the last eight years of the Obama regime. From the beginning of Obama’s first term nothing less than outright disrespect and contempt have been shown towards Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Obama even dared try to unseat Prime Minister Netanyahu by having US operatives fund and work for the opposition to Netanyahu which failed. Israel election interference is described in this article by Bloomberg describing the activities and interference attempts by Obama operatives. As disgusting, disrespectful, and completely ridiculous as this heinous act was by a sitting American President, this outrage pales by comparison with one of Obama’s final contemptuous actions towards Israel when the United States refused to veto a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlement building as described in this JTA article.

All Americans should be horrified at the disrespect and anti semitic behavior that has been shown to one of our country’s most loyal allies for the past eight years of the Obama regime. Obama has embraced the worst enemies of the United States in history while flippantly disparaging Israel. Fortunately Israel Prime Minister realizes that the majority of Americans and especially Christians have been completely outraged by the actions of the Obama regime. But when you consider how Obama has surrounded himself with anti semitic advisors at the highest levels of government like Valerie Jarrett, an Iranian born communist and Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers in high level positions it is easy to understand how such people would foment animosity to outright hatred of Israel. Fortunately, we have an incoming President who will right the relations between the United States and Israel once again. Thank God that we will once again see pro Israel policies and relations return to normal as President Trump begins his term of office.
