Description

We begin to understand the electoral college when we admit the United States is really supposed to be a collection of member states, and not a single unified nation. Abolishing the EC is likely to worsen national conflict and disunity.

Thu 21 Apr: The Real War - Traitor's Life - Collusion - So Huge - 30 SOS's - Objective View - Target Religion: When the battles are many, we must focus on the key conflict. It's good versus evil, and the demons hide so well. They eradicate the humanity within themselves. A life defined by deception and corruption. So sneaky when the backstory is setup first. Trump represents what they stole from us. Not a Christian nation, but a free nation. Communism cannot coexist with religion. It was religion versus religion first. It matters not who your God is. A Trojan horse built by the almighty. This is a global effort. Concessions made for others, Christians take the heat. The majority are feared, so religion is targeted. Churches have sold out, but America was born from religious freedom. The true story of Judas. Is the United States similar? The scriptures tell a story that we may not be seeing. We have to defend more than our religion. Include our thoughts, our spirit, our freedom. by The Tore Says Show
