The taxpayer wants a wall, and IMHO, year number one of the Trump era has shot by us like a bullet. 25% of his first term gone. If McConnell sticks by his old and rusty guns, and for little more than nostalgia's sake continues to honor an arcane rule (which time BTW has rendered absurd) over the collective good of the voting public, he may well have done as much to destroy conservatism as any one man on the left ever could. But the situation is actually worse. Because this blind adherence to a rule, which is not mentioned in any founding document, actually usurps the rule of law and the right of the people to self govern themselves.

We send representatives to the Hill to govern on our behalf. And those representatives we send, along with the people who elected them, are being sacrificed on an altar constructed of McConnell's own fond but flawed remembrances of days gone by. Chuck Schumer is the real string puller in the US Senate, make no mistake. My fear is that owing to age, Mitch has fallen inextricably into a fantasy in which everybody wakes up and comes out shaking hands and working together again. It won't happen.

Frankly I am beginning to believe more and more, that the irresistible forces pushing mankind towards globalism, and a one world government under the autonomous control of AntiChrist, may in fact be unstoppable. It was my hope that in having elected D J Trump President, the people of the US had demonstrated a willingness to turn from their rejection of the sovereignty of God. And in so doing, extended our time of living in the calmer waters at the extremities of the vortex which is drawing history into it's depths like the mother of all black holes. I continue to trust The Lord as far as the interface of world events and His omniscient revelation of the unfolding of history. So it may yet prove to be the case and we do have more time than it would presently seem.

Current events would seem to be funneling men into a stricture where time and opportunity to choose for or against Him is lessened. One way or another, we rail against governmental inequities and immoralities not only on this forum, but the thousands of professionals whose job it is to analyze matters of national import. In the end it all boils down to one thing though, what will each of us do with Christ? Friends, time has to be short.
