Pastor Jeremiah Johnson: God Told Me He Sent Donald Trump To Help Bring About The Second Coming Of Jesus

Quote:
“The Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, ‘Trump shall become My trumpet to the American people, for he possesses qualities that are even hard to find in My people these days. Trump does not fear man nor will he allow deception and lies to go unnoticed. I am going to use him to expose darkness and perversion in America like never before, but you must understand that he is like a bull in a china closet. Many will want to throw him away because he will disturb their sense of peace and tranquility, but you must listen through the bantering to discover the truth that I will speak through him. I will use the wealth that I have given him to expose and launch investigations searching for the truth. Just as I raised up Cyrus to fulfill My purposes and plans, so have I raised up Trump to fulfill my purposes and plans prior to the 2016 election.'” – Pastor Jeremiah Johnson, quoted today on World Net Daily.

@jcboy,
If the Right sucks so bad how come the D's dont win all of the elections? If the people are a stupid as is claimed then how come the D's cant manipulate the voters into giving them the votes that they need to win?


Even now we see the D elite giving us only one choice for President, which is a very undemocratic move..... a woman who has never produced much, who tends to be a whining bitch, who very well might find herself on charges for refusal to follow the law and conduct herself with honor.

All of the arguments that I see repeated year after year by the liberal groupthink on A2K crashes against the D's consistent failure to capitalize on the alleged faults of the Conservatives and the voters. It does not look like the D's are going to get any better at this game anytime soon either.

@hawkeye10,
Trump's base in the polls is white, older, Republicans in the midwest who have less than a high school education and strong fears about immigration. Those same people now make up the majority of the Republican party.

Trump and other GOP billionaires relying on white, older and uneducated males to do their bidding for them. The ole Southern strategy to instill fear and hate. Cool

The trouble with bashing politicians who have the support of the underclass is that the Elite have done a very poor job with the power that has been entrusted with them. A good argument can be made that the educated elite is the major problem group in america, it is not the largely powerless underclass.

Note: as a liberal you dont want to be bashing the underclass, you make yourself look like you dont value what you say you value.

Yeah! How did Hitler win that election, anyways?

Gerrymandering in Texas has resulted in Republicans votes being worth i Democratic vote. We won't even talk about voter ID crap.

Gerrymandering is at the top of the list for how we know that both parties need to be ether massively reformed or killed. I vote for killed. And how we know that we the people are responsible for where we are, for our broken political system. Shame on us. And shame on us for passing the blame, for instance these BLM assholes who blame whites STILL for their sorry situation, even after they fail to take an interest in school and often take to a life of broken families, crimes, listlessness and bitching. Maybe drugs too, I have not made up my mind how black drug use compares to the rest of us. And maybe they dont do more drugs than the rest of us, maybe they are just generally stupid and mess up their lives and those around them more.

-3...really? The idiocy and lack of justice around here shows itself. At least 30 members must have walked past this post without putting the count back to zero,,, which has to embarrass them, ,because they know I make reasonable and reasonably good arguments often, and am here. The vote should be plus a bunch.

Threads like this should motivate the bosses to remove the vote system. All it does is serve as an embarrassment of A2K.

The "voting" system (or the thumbing system) is an absurdity.

Best to just not pay it any attention.

One thing i am just now figuring out is that the elite have imposed truncated communications upon us (PC RULES) for long enough that Trump, who refuses to follow them, might be able to do a lot of damage. When one person refuses to stay quiet, refuses to follow the script, conversations have a way of starting. One of the biggest problems we have as a people is all the stuff that we cant talk about, or that we need to talk carefully around as to not piss off the bullies. Trump might remind us of back when we had free communications. We might decide that we like it.

This could get very interesting. Trump might turn out to be a gift.

Donald Trump will serve jury duty in NYC next week after getting fined for skipping 5 summonses
Source: NY Daily News

Republican Donald Trump says he wants to “Make America Great Again” as President — but first, he’s got to make it to jury duty.

“Despite running for President and running a massive, multi-billion-dollar company, Mr. Trump will be at jury duty Monday," Alan Garten, general counsel to the Trump Organization, said Friday.

A Manhattan judge earlier this year fined The Donald $250 for ignoring five jury summonses since 2006.

Donald Trump and the mob

Chris Frates, CNN Investigative Correspondent

Updated 12:37 PM ET, Fri July 31, 2015
Story highlights

Reports going back decades tie Trump to NY, Philly mob families
"Little Nicky," "Chicken Man" and "Crazy Phil"

(CNN)Donald Trump's glittering empire of New York skyscrapers and Atlantic City casinos have long had a darker side, allegations that the mob helped build them.

Trump's alleged ties to New York and Philadelphia crime families go back decades and have been recounted in a book, newspapers and government records.

"The mob connections of Donald are extraordinarily extensive," New York investigative journalist Wayne Barrett told CNN in an interview.

Barrett, the author of the 1992 unauthorized biography "Trump: The Deals and the Downfall," wrote that Trump's life "intertwines with the underworld."

The allegations are getting new scrutiny as Trump runs for president, largely on his record as a successful, and extraordinarily wealthy, businessman. As Trump cements his leads atop the polls, questions about how he made his billions, and who helped him make them, are starting to take center stage.

A Trump spokesperson did not respond to multiple requests for comment on this story.

To be sure, organized crime had ties to the New York and New Jersey construction industry in the 1980's and early 1990's, making contact between developers and mafia-controlled companies almost unavoidable at times.

"There was a certain amount of mob association during which the father and he were building, which was very difficult to avoid in the New York construction world," Barrett said, adding, "He went out of his way not to avoid them, but to increase them."

In a recent Federalist article, David Marcus writes that Trump bought the property that his Atlantic City casino Trump Plaza would one day occupy -- for twice market price -- from Salvatore Testa, a Philly mobster and son of one-time Philly mob boss Philip "Chicken Man" Testa. (Springsteen fans might recognize the elder Testa from the opening lines of the song, Atlantic City.)

In his book, Barrett writes that Testa and a partner, who together headed a Philly mafia hit-squad called the Young Executioners, bought the property for "a scant $195,000" in 1977. In 1982, Trump paid $1.1 million for it.

"The $220 per square foot that Trump paid for the Testa property was the second most expensive purchase he made on the block, even though it was one of the first parcels he bought," Barrett wrote.

The casino was built with the help of two construction companies controlled by Philly mobsters Nicademo "Little Nicky" Scarfo and his nephew Phillip "Crazy Phil" Leonetti, according to, as Marcus notes, a New Jersey state commission's 1986 report on organized crime.

RELATED: Donald Trump's Achilles' heel

Trump also had a decade-long relationship with Scarfo's investment banker, according to Barrett's book.

In Manhattan, Trump used the mob-controlled concrete company S&A to build Trump Plaza condos. Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno, head of the Genovese crime family, and Paul Castellano, the don of New York's Gambino family, controlled S&A, according to federal court records Barrett cited in his book.

Barrett noted that he built the Trump Tower out of concrete, instead of steel, at a time when the mafia controlled much the concrete industry.

"While dealing with the concrete cartel was inevitable for any developer in the period when Trump Tower was built, Donald took the relationship several steps further than he had to," Barrett wrote.

In a Philadelphia Inquirer article from the time the book was published, reporter David Cay Johnston summed up Barrrett's unauthorized biography, writing that it "asserts that throughout his adult life, Donald Trump has done business with major organized-crime figures and performed favors for their associates."

Trump was a target of a 1979 bribery investigation and was questioned in a 1981 racketeering probe, but neither federal investigation led to criminal charges, Johnston wrote.

More recently, Johnston, a Pulitzer-prize winning journalist, wrote an article called "21 Questions for Donald Trump" where he asked, "Why did you use concrete instead of steel girders" to build the 58-story Trump Tower?

The Mob is dead, and at one point one could not do business in NYC without cooperating with the mob, so who cares .

As usual your posts are a lot more empty than meets the eye.

So who is the Trump supporter, if not the conservative base? I'd argue it's mostly disaffected moderates who no longer strictly identify with either party. They think the political system is rigged. They think politicians are corrupt. They want a total collapse of the ruling political class.

While Trump probably gets more support from the right, running as a Republican, he attracts from the left as well.

Ann Coulter doesn't care if Donald Trump 'wants to perform abortions in the White House'
Source: Sun Times



Donald Trump’s immigration plan is so absolutely incredible, conservative author Ann Coulter says it gives Trump a free pass to perform abortions in the White House.

After Trump appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday and said illegal immigrants “have to go,” Coulter tweeted out her full support for Trump’s plan.

@AnnCoulter
I don't care if @realDonaldTrump wants to perform abortions in White House after this immigration policy paper. http://bit.ly/1EvT3Ja
12:36 PM - 16 Aug 2015




In the same “Meet the Press” interview, Trump said he may have donated to Planned Parenthood in the past; Coulter has said that abortion is murder.

Conservative principles.

Ann is happy to throw away her supposedly-principled stance on forcing women to remain pregnant by order of the state, if her candidate hates brown people as much as she does.

She's desperate to get her name in the headlines, ever since Palin replaced her as the right's hateful pin-up girl, and will say anything to do so, no matter how dumb.

She actually says Trump's vague non-plan is the "greatest political document since the Magna Carta" and compares him to Saint Ronnie, conveniently forgetting Reagan's amnesty deal.
