    We had snow days but they were rare. Not because we didn't have snow. The superintendent of the district lived out on the country. He figured if he could get in everyone could.

    I'm still trying to decipher Biden's Pittsburgh speech. Any guesses?



    Funny to see all those comedians going after it like they did with 'covfefe'. Real great stuff coming from those comedians, late night shows, etc.

    He'll lead a proud strategy to mobilize something or other. Just what he's proposing wasn't clear. But then he is a politician, maybe it's best not to be too clear on a promise so nobody can hold you to it.

    Really, I did not think they would count those yet. We recently had a provincial election and all mail-in votes were sealed until polls closed on election day.

    Well I'd say he's not Pentecostal until two people are giving two opposing interpretations.

    They've been counted but the results aren't released until the polls close.

    Project Veritas has released an interview with a purported mail worker whistleblower. May the mail fraud fiasco begin!

    I've had a myriad of conversations since Tuesday about all things political and election. A few takeaways, for which many of my evangelical friends have essentially offered me either fentynal or excommunication. (Public disclaimer: I am a conservative libertarian who typically votes Republican)
    1. The GOP/Republican party is not my Savior.
    2a. Donald Trump is not my Redeemer.
    2b. Joe Biden/Kamala Harris are not the antichrist and the false prophet
    2c. John Hagee's 47 page charts of pretribulational rapture interpretation are not Scripture.
    3. My faith, hope, joy, and identity are not found in political activity or outcomes.
    4. If my faith cannot survive a Biden/Democratic/Progressive administration, then my faith is not faith, but fantasy.
    5. Until Congress passes laws that restrict my constitutional rights as set forth in the Bill of Rights (i.e.d, Amendments I-X) of the Constitution, I have no rational or lawful recourse outside of our right to redress my grievances through my elected governmental representatives.
    6. If the government passes laws abridging my faith, I will disobey them, but I think the odds of that are extraordinarily slim.
    7. Taking away a church's tax exempt status is not violating the first amendment or "persecution."
    8. I am called to love my political opponents and to pray for them.
    9. I am called to pray for all those in authority.
    10. The people of the United States are the sovereign in whom all power to govern resides in the United States of America. The power of federal, state, and local governments is a limited power LOANED to it by the people. As such, when Scripture talks about God establishing rulers, it is talking about sovereignty. In the USA, that means that we believe that God has established the PEOPLE as the sovereign. God doesn't vote. God didn't "pick" or "elect" Donald Trump in 2016 anymore than he "picked" or "elected" POTUS Obama in 2008. The people are the sovereign, and in our right of self-governance, we have freely determined the methods by which we pick the people to whom we will loan our administrative or executive authority.

    That all being said, I fully anticipate that it will be some time before we know the outcome of the presidential election. In fact, we will only know if after all of the state elections are certified, the Electors are appointed, and the Electoral College meets, casts their votes, and the electoral votes counted. (For my non-US friends, my apologies, but this is the archaic yet brilliant method by which our founding fathers determined to limit the power of mob ruled democracy and the power of the large population centers over the lesser populated areas.) There will likely be recounts and challenges in the Courts, but our system of checks and balances are well equipped to handle the process.

    That is all. (For now)

    Well, duh.... we all know Hillary Clinton is the antichrist. Given promised release dates and actual release dates I'm still going with Bill Gates as the false prophet. pi-in-face

    A friend told me she heard there were more votes cast in Wisconsin than there were registered voters.

    What happens in a situation like that? If you have more votes than voters then logically the election has to be considered invalid, but holding another election seems like something that's never going to happen.
