This column may upset some. And quite frankly, I some. And don’t care about Democrats feelings, but it needed to be written.

Democrats are Mad

Theyareliterallycertifiable. Their sense of common sense is nil. The Democrat mediapowerhousethatthey onceruledhasbeenguttedto ineffectiveness, so much so that the lies they tell to people (living in the hell Dems created) on the fabulous economy reduced crime, no illegal immigration, and the brilliance of President Joe Biden, are nonsensical. Those people now are supporters of former President Donald J.

To pretend to be someone’s friend even as you plan to betray them seemsliketheworstformof deception and treachery Jesus knew this kind of betrayal himself Judas Iscariot his friend and disciple kissed Jesus while revealing him to the authorities Jesus asked him “Judas would you betraytheSonofManwitha kiss?” (Luke 22:48). While Jesus knew of Judas s deception beforehand the pain was still personal. It was the pain of being double-crossedbyafriend.

Saul played at this same game, pretending to welcome David into his family while plotting David’s death. His servants usedflatterytomakeDavid

open to the idea of becoming Saul’s son-in-law Then Saul assigned a bride price thatwasanalmostimpossible task—the deaths of 100 Philistines in battle That would put an end to David! Instead, David killed twice that number of Philistines.
