Will Joe Biden fall Victim to “The Zero Curse”? After watching this short video by Perry Stone, I’m sort of glad that Donald Trump lost his reelection bid this time around.
As far as Evangelists on Christian TV go, I do have a tremendous respect for Perry Stone compared to most of them. During the actual campaign, I often said I didn’t think Biden, if elected, would be able to finish his term due to the obvious early signs of Dementia he was experiencing every time he had to give either a speech or an interview. Some who have had relatives who suffered from Dementia or Alzheimer’s often say that this, in many ways, is a fate worse that Death.
Granted, both Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush were Presidents who were elected in years ending in Zero, so perhaps this “Curse” has already been broken. Regardless, it should be a very interesting four year term on whoever is inaugurated President next month.
(This author, Carol Robidoux was the former Moderator of the Nashua [NH] Patch internet site, and needless to say, I’ve got to agree with her assessment on the two obvious front-runners in America’s upcoming Presidential race. Do I think a Presidential election campaign between Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton would be “entertaining”? You bet. As far as Reality TV shows go, I’m sure their debates between each other will draw much better ratings than Survivor, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Big Brother, The Amazing Race, Dancing with the Stars, and WWE Wrestling combined. Do I think either Trump or Mrs. Clinton are worthy enough to serve as President of the United States? Hell no. BLEEP no. For the American voters to enable and subsequently set-up this general election campaign match up in November will do nothing more than just further substantiate P.T. Barnum’s famous phrase, “There’s a Sucker born every minute”.
And haven’t a lot of these celebrity experiments in politics failed miserably in the past? Remember Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was Governor of California? Or, how about Jesse “The Body” Ventura when he was Governor of Minnesota? Two famous “celebrity tough guys” going into public office, who came out failed “train wrecks” at the end of their terms.
How is Donald Trump any different than Schwarzenegger or Ventura?
Trump is sort of like a billionaire Archie Bunker when it comes to “speaking his mind” and just blurting out the first thing that comes out. Already on this year’s campaign trail, Trump has publicly mocked a Reporter who suffers from Muscular Dystrophy, tweeted that FOX News commentator Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out from her whatever” [insinuating that she was having her menstrual period], and also said that Senator John McCain was not really a hero because he was captured as a Prisoner of War. Lets not forget more recently when Trump insinuated at a Republican candidates’ debate that former president George W. Bush conspired with the Muslim terrorists to attack the United States on 9/11.
I find it especially amazing that the Evangelicals of our country, led by Jerry Falwell Jr., and Robert Jeffress, are throwing their support to such an ungodly candidate like Donald Trump. What a joke! Does anybody honestly think Trump will start asking God for spiritual guidance and direction when it’s obvious he hasn’t done that yet in his campaign?
Any other candidate – especially competing for the office of President – who made comments even similar to these would’ve dropped drastically in the polls and been considered “irrelevant” in the race. Yet Trump seems to be thriving in the polls – why is that? Does anyone honestly believe that Trump’s frequent ignorant comments will cease and desist once he gets elected President of the United States? I don’t think so.
In Trump’s defense, believe it or not, if he winds up as the Republican nominee this Summer, I will DEFINITELY vote for him in the November general election over either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders – NOT because I fully support Trump, but rather because in that particular scenario he would be the “lesser of two evils” as far as our country’s best interest is concerned.
Unfortunately, the USA will wind up with the government it deserves.
The Bible verse that, I think, best describes a country’s voting majority supporting a Trump versus Hillary match up for President would be:
“But if any man [or woman] be ignorant, let him [or her] be ignorant” — 1 Corinthians 14:38
I hope and pray God is still in control of our country despite whoever wins this November. May God bless America.)

In the U.S., right now, this is our choice: Our presidential front-runners are Donald Trump, a reality TV star and casino-obsessed billionaire on his third trophy wife (whose current business venture is making moisturizers out of caviar that cost $150 per ounce, btw) who is at the center of a class-action lawsuit for bilking thousands of people out of money for his fraudulent “Trump University,” which he promised would make them rich (but instead it went out of business and he got richer and they got nothing):
https://goo.gl/tfawtl; and a woman who stood by her man through more than 5 alleged consensual extramarital affairs and a few rape allegations, even while President, https://goo.gl/Lc9UqX and who is herself the subject of a murky and disturbing investigation, this time, by the FBI, as to whether she and her top aides (including Huma Abedin who is married to Anthony Weiner, the Congressman who lost his job for sexting btw) violated the public trust, misused her power, breached national security, etc.
Where are the questions about these things from journalists on televised town hall and debate stages, holding their feet to the fire on my behalf, because I really want to hear the answers? Are we just going to pretend these are the right people to be at the top of the heap? Where is the outrage, from voters who don’t want to be force-fed candidates with questionable personal or professional integrity? All I hear from voters are the mindless repetition of campaign slogans: “I’m With Her,” and “Make America Great Again.”
Really, United States of America? This is what you really want?
Jim Robidoux, can I get an Amen?
