Look. We knew he was lying.

We don’t like it.

But if you happen across this post, and you have been avoiding the news on whatever platform you’d like to name; if you have been avoiding current events because of all the hate on Facebook, I’m going to tell you now that you can’t bury your head in the sand. No, whatever happens will affect you no matter what party you support or whether you are independent.

Your life has been changed. The numbers she’s pointing out may seem small to you, but they are not.

And just to make it clear, the U.S. economy does affect the world economy.

We are buying less. Soon, we will be unable to buy much of anything. We have always had street people. You hear or read about them, but did you know that they include entire families?

They live in abandoned places. Under tunnels. Under bridges and overpasses. In the woods. Old warehouses and condemned row homes.

And all too often, that is where they die.

But, and I have said this many times, more people are on the edge of joining the ranks of the homeless than at any time in my life. Food prices are going up, and I don’t need to hear from expert economists to know it. I’m the one who will eat soup for thanksgiving, and I’m fine with it, especially since I refuse to fill my stomach while I know children are starving. I’d die first.

This woman knows what’s coming. She appears to be resisting the need to say it out loud. I wish she would go ahead and get it over with.

Because if your head’s been in the sand, it’s time you know the truth.

Don’t tell me you’re a Christian and yet you give not so much as a thought to the poor.

Don’t tell me you’re a Christian when your table is laden with expensive foods but you can’t even spare a minute to pray for hungry families.

Don’t tell me you’re a Christian when you support Trump, Ice, illegal imprisonment and orders to the military that would make us the primary beligerant in a war.

Don’t tell me you’re a Christian when you have no problem with killing, racism, bullying, rape, forced child-bearing by minors, and you support an evil president whom the devil alone smiles upon out of every creature in heaven, including the angels, God and His Son, the Lamb of God, who will judge all of us.

Christians do not do what the false ones on the right do. They do not spread nor tolerate hate being read between the lines of scripture.

Real Christians give freely and pray that they can do more to help.

Real Christians love those who mock and hurt them.

Real Christians cry and pray for children who suffer under evil governments.

Real Christians make mistakes and sin. But they know that’s a part of being human. They know to ask forgiveness from the Lord, and that He will forgive, and if they ask for it, He will grant strength to fight harder, because their faith pleases him.

Real Christians don’t know what God looks like. They don’t know the strange mysteries left behind by the Holy Bible. It’s faith that conquers doubt through questions like those, and we have to keep learning that we don’t know everything.

And that we weren’t meant to.

Otherwise faith, the most pleasing thing to God because it comes with your love, would mean nothing.

Jesus once said, “Because you have seen, you believe. Imagine how blessed those are who will not see, yet believe.”

As I fight to regain my self respect and my faith, I have asked for protection from God for the innocent children and their families. For those kidnapped and sold into slavery. For peace.

I have also asked for my friends to be given blessings of health and peace in times the likes of which they’ve never imagined.

Even Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is supposed to resign as of 6 January, a woman I have maligned at every opportunity, has my prayers for the safety of she and her entire family. What she did took courage.

Trump’s lie was outrageous and nobody alive should be tempted on any account to believe it.

But some do.

And even after the revelation that most of the NAGAs in X are foreign to the U.S., there still remain rabid supporters of Trump here. Many, like Greene, have defected. So the danger they pose continues.

I challenge all real Christians to pull their heads out of the sand and fight against evil. First, pray. Twelve-steppers, ask your higher power what’s right.

I’m sick of lyrical sermons in a time when this many people are dying. Your prose serves no purpose, no inspiration for those in spiritual darkness. And if you continue, you won’t like what happens next. You also will not like the terrible realization that you failed to solve anything.

In the past, my language would have been laced with filth and anger.

I’m not going to do that now. I’m appealing to your conscience, your beautiful souls, and your faith; may the Lord give you the strength and insight to be the best that you can be in these sad times.
