Trump Isn't as Weak as we Think

Alllan Lichman is the featured guest on the Rick Unger show at three.  He outlines four whole categories of charges that could be leveled against the president.   People forget that there is a whole middle step between impeachment and the senate vote, and that is the actual trial of the President where more facts are brought out.  And they are brought out by House members.  The Senate does not set the agenda for the trial of the president.   President Trump is doomed anyhow because of two other things.  He’s doomed on the terriff issue.  President Trump actually wants to expand the scope of Chinese terrifs to electronics.  This will really cripple the economy even worse.  Then we have the whole abortion front.  The president is doomed on this issue already.  He will forever be tied to Alabama and Missouri and these other states that have voted to ban abortion at an early stage.  Donald Trump got where he is by going negative.  Biden says that being angry doesn’t sell.  Yet Trump’s whole approach to the electorate is to be mean and nasty and indignent.  This brings us to Joel Olsteen’s sermon last Sunday saying that being positive and upbeat always pays off.  Yet there are times even when flying an airplane that a pilot can go into a stall if he tries to lift up the nose of the plane too much too soon.  More important than the wing “attitude” is what kind of engines do you have on that plane.  If you don’t have the power you’ll go down.  And with a Christian if you pretend you have the power when you don’t, you’ll go down in flames.  You need to see the whole picture and one thing that pastors love to do is to have a small fragment of the truth which will not save you.  Allan Lichman has a good track record for predicting presidential elections.  He predicted a Trump win in 2016 in the face of all the polls.  Lichman says the polls are wrong, and they are wrong this time.  He says if the election were held today that Trump would win again.  I’ll defer to his track record.  An impeachment trial would affect many of the “Thirteen keys to winning the election”.  One will remember that Nixon won in a landslide victory in 1972 despite Watergate.  (Selah)  In Youngstown things still aren’t  that good economically but they are sticking with the president according to the polls.  Not only this but Joe Biden just said that “China is really not that much of a problem as far as competition is concerned.  That’s a bad case of foot in mouth disease.  Biden also attacked young people in the milenial generation when he called them lazy and didn’t have to work for the money they got but only want free stuff.  That may get him points with the older Generation X people but milenials by the droves have a reason not to vote for Biden.  And if they stay home and don’t vote for Joe Biden, he could well lose the election. 

I was going to type about the origens of Christianity.  But I'm not in the mood.  Instead I want to talk about rock songs we haven't included on a compilation.   Here are song songs that have occurred to me that we have thought about for some time.  This is a preliminary list.
