As we are on the edge of a big Middle East War, we have elected Republicans bickering over who to lead the U.S. House of Representatives. Meanwhile, we have one Republican senator holding up military promotions and appointments.

Minority Republicans are intent on destroying this country. Republicans says they want to destroy the “deep state.” Do they even know the meaning? It is a body of people, typically influential members of government agencies or the military, believed to be involved in the secret manipulation or control of government policy. For some Republicans, this means anything they don’t agree with, which includes counting votes, allowing minorities to vote, personal rights, teaching true history, and help for the poor and disadvantaged.

I fear we, the USA, may now forget Putin’s attack on democracy, which in my opinion could lead to a bigger war in Europe. Iran is itching to make it bigger in the Middle East, and perhaps China will add to the boiling pot.

I pray this isn’t a fulfillment of Revelations. I read “The Late Great Planet Earth” some 30 years ago, and it brought me back to Jesus, but the things predicted — not prophesied — in that book are all possible now.

So we need Republicans to realize it is not about their quest for power, but getting together to lead our country. The world is watching us, in total disarray, and wondering who we are.

May God bless the USA, and bring peace to this troubled world.
