Happily my ballot will have more than two choices, It even has a line where I can write in the name of someone. I'm not stuck voting for Trump, whom I dislike for all of the usual reasons, just to stop Biden, whom I dislike for all of the usual reasons. Biden may win, but I don't have to choose between two evil candidates.

Former President Donald Trump told a crowd of supporters that he intended to reject a prominent evangelist’s request that he refrain from cursing during speeches, although he suggested he was making an effort to take his advice.

Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president of the United States, addressed a crowd of supporters at a rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. A clip of the speech shared on X shows the former president praising Franklin Graham, CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the charitable organization Samaritan’s Purse, as “a man I like,” adding that he admired him “so much” before recalling how “he wrote me a letter.”

“He said, ‘President, I love your speaking. Your ability to speak is incredible. Your storytelling is great, but it could be so much better if you didn’t use foul language,’” Trump said as he reflected on the content of the letter. Trump responded to the plea by declaring, “he’s wrong.”

Continued below.

Franklin is such a disappointment. He has selected to praise and support a seld glrifying, continually adulterous, mammon seeking, decede long party buddy of a sex trafficker over Jesus (Mattew 25:31-46 against the will of YHVH in Isaiah 578:6-12. He saw the golden image of this guy that they made (thinking he would win) and IF this wanna be authorityarian wins they will surely break it our again. This is a child of Belial who wants (like all dictators in history) fullo authority and absolute immunity. Did Graham really think he would listen? Franklin's dad is no doubt saddened by him (dsee The Last Real Evangelical). Pray for Franklin because Matthew 24:24 is true and has been many times before (in Cuba, Germany, and elsewhere).

No, but the moral uprightness of a candidate is not the only consideration in whether or not to vote for him.
I agree, when it was between Clinton and Trump moral uprightness wasn’t even an option, it basically came down to pro life or pro murder that influenced my decision.

You have to organize and get signatures following the rules of each state to get your name on the ballot in the states. In some states you are a little late for that now. But I’ll look for your name.

Nearing the end of his life billy graham made mention of something .
He said he wished he had not been so politically involved and etc
but had rather spent more time focused on the preaching of the gospel . he got sidetracked my friend .
I am afraid so too has most of the church .
I have seen the religious leaders that surround biden
and the ones that surround trump . ITS all bad news now my friend .
The church has been infiltrated and now the infiltrators even Run a lot of the churches .
Very sad and very troubling times are upon this entire nation as well as the world .
Many have replaced the one true gospel for another social inclusive one
many have long preached also the love of money and they too are going into this same direction .
Its like being on a roller coaster speeding at high and dangerous speeds
and below and at every turn so few very are doing all to warn the peoples on that roller coaster
that its headed right to sudden destruction at its end ,
only they get called haters by the cheering crowds on that roller coaster . This is just not looking good at all right now .

Guess i am a little too late on this one . I would say look for me to run in twenty twenty eight
but then , What on earth makes us even think we got that much time even left .
The roller coaster that speeds to sudden destruction
has grown massive with peoples who sit along and hurl insults
at the very few who are trying to warn them to get off that roller coaster .

Check out the American Solidarity Party. No, barring an absolute miracle, they will not win. But you can vote for them with clean hands. Most will vote for Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dum. We don’t have to.

once upon a time there dwelt a man in a time not VERY long ago at all .
Said man was having a conversation with a woman who was very liberal .
They were talking about the masks . The man said my body my right
to which she said , YES that is true , BUT when your decision endangers the life of another
then you dont have that right no longer .
To which , SUPRISELY , the man replied why my dear you are correct .
You are saying that if my action endangers another life then
that is when its no longer a right . To which she replies yes .
To which the man then said
WELL , i need you to come with me to the supreme court little lady
cause your speech is A HUGE SUPPORTER of the PRO LIFE .
Cause i know women have the rights to their own body
AND i also know , HOWEVER , that when an abortion is comitted , IT SURE DO ENDANGER THE LIFE of another .
To which the lil lady then said , OH that is not the same thing . GO FIGURE that one out my friend .
Folks have no right to their body when it comes to masks and vaccines
because hey that might endanger another life
AND YET I KNOW abortion KILLS . I mean it is possible to infect one with the virus , but maybe you will , maybe you wont
and maybe one will barely get sick or yes one could die .
BUT AGAIN I KNOW that when they ABORT that baby , SOMEONE DIES EVERY TIME . HYPROCRISY RUNS AMUCK my friend .

I consider it a murder because it’s the killing of an innocent human being which according to God’s commandments is unlawful and therefore murder.

Even the law itself spoke against the spilling of the blood of the innocent .
You see , even in the law the person being accused had to be GUILTY of said crime .
ANYONE wanna tell me the crime of the unborn .
the spilling of innocent blood MAKETH GOD VERY ANGRY . an that be A FACT .
the worshipping of other gods and TRYING TO ALSO use HIs name maketh HIM VERY ANGRY TOO .
another fact .
The sins of the father will not be laid upon the children . NOR the sins of the children upon their parents .
IT BE THE SOUL that sins that shall die .
NOW unless the unborn can somehow control the mind of the mother and maybe have her rob a bank or do some evil
THEN HOW can it be guilty of any crime . IT AINT EVEN BORN YET .
Now as far as what is punishable by death under the law .
THE CHURCH dont put anyone to death .
NOT anymore . THE CHURCH , however HAS TO PUT ONE OUT who is in a sin till repentance be made .
WHICH is another thing THEY AINT DOING and aint been doing for years and tis why LEAVEN has FULL BLOWN UP many a church too .

Franklin Graham doesn't want Donald Trump to cuss. It doesn't look to me that it really bothers very many voters.

BTW, if Donald Trump were really such a big liar, then Franklin Graham would never have anything to do with him, and campaign against him, advising all Christians not to vote for him. But all that Graham had against him was his tendency to cuss.

Usually, one opponent in politics throws dirt upon their rival during election season. But the participating media has been throwing fake news dirt against Trump nonstop for 12 years. Culminating in the assassination attempt.

Trump does not give strong testimony that he is a true Christian. However, he is to be commended for his stand against the most radical of the devil's advocates and agenda in the democrat party.

There was a book by Kurt Vonnegut, one of his later called Hocus Pocus The main character, a military veteran, makes a point of saying that there is something he has never done and never will do, and that is to use Cuss words. He justifies this by saying that if he used a curse word, and a listener were to be offended, they may stop listening to him. And if they do not listen to him, then they may not hear something important which may ultimately save their life! So the point is, do not make people ignore you because you use foul language which may offend them. That way , if you have something important or critical to say, then people will not be turning away saying "Oh he has a filthy mouth and I don;t want to hear it"

Use kinder words and treat people, all people, with respect and this shows that not only so you respect yourself, but others too.

Trump isn't a polished politician. In fact, he didn't get into politics until he ran for president in 2016.

He's not going to censor his speech at his age and experience.

Besides, coming from NY, talking trash is part of his culture. But at least he gets things
done. Unlike the career politician Joe Biden.
If I could winner that million times I would. Look swearing in speeches is not the end all be all. If that is your problem with Trump your bar is WAY too low.

The point could well be that Franklin and Trump come from very different backgrounds. Franklin grew up in church and spending time with people who respected one another. Trump has grown up with people who likely don't respect each other. Cussing goes with that kind of environment. Most people just don't hear it from others when the camera is pointed at them.

Trump's cussing is such a minor thing. People talk as if no one else in politics or otherwise ever cusses. (I don't cuss but I've lived some around those who do). People like Franklin have got to get passed the cussing issue. And realize that the people who do like Trump outweigh those who don't.

The other issues are so much more important. Polite words is for a church service. And when Trump gets up in front of a large crowd who came to hear him speak, he knows his audience. He talks the issues without apologizing for offending someones sensitive ears. After all, he's not campaigning to be a polite speaker.

The politics clearly requires being sharp witted as well as being able to speak up against disrespectful media interviews.

The voting public have seen the good that Trump did in his first Presidential term and respect his strength, his decisions in carrying out his duties as President, and they are interested in him getting back in the saddle and making America great again.

Trump can work on his stopping cussing when he's completed his 2nd term as President.
