A prayer for our nation

Amen....

United we stand divided we fall. Russia and China are happy as we continue to go down.

Prayers are certainly in order. But how about some reflection on how we got to this place. And the fake news stolen election crap is not how this happened.

That started with your party and Hillary Papa. A little late for you to be concerned now.

Unfortunately, Jon, democrat party tactics and the leftist protesters they've supported lurched this country into violence - burning, looting, murder and violating the civil rights of individuals. Democrat mayors and politicians refused to condemn it and even openly supported it. It's sad and unfortunately it may get worse before it gets better.

Democrats *never* learn until you give it back. They have zero interest in cooperation or working together on anything.

Trump offered a $2 TRILLION Covid assisstance bill and Pelosi refused to cooperate and then settled for a $900 billion assistance bill.

That guy over there threw a brick through a window and nobody called him down for it so it’s ok if my neighbor is angry because the news didn’t report it so he can go throw a brick and it’s ok. Only a bot could come up with that reasoning.

Everything will be better once Trump is gone. So pray that this 13 days fly by and we will never have to see him again.

Only a democrat would not know the difference between calling out your hypocrisy on violence when I've denounced violence on both sides. You are proof positive where the problem lies.

You failed. Try again.

not sorry. Doug, right?

It is a waste talking to you, but I would try if you contact me.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness Jon. The anger many of us feel over this is beyond measure. But then if not for all of the anger on both sides, yesterday would not have happened. Your words are wise.

So the top story today, 1-7-21, is Macy's leaving? What about the part our Senator, Josh Hawley, played yesterday at the U. S. Capitol. Do you not want the people of Cape to know what is going on? Read the Kansas City papers then.

Papa is correct. Why did this happen? Trump has lost more than the recent election over the past four years (respect, trust, integrity and honor come to mind). He incited this from the beginning with his bullying of anyone who thought,walked or looked different from him and especially those who opposed. Hawley did nothing but fuel the fire and make a delusional person believe they were correct. The entire situation sickens me and is an embarrassment for our Nation. We do need prayers, and a leader who promotes unity not division!

“Hawley sent fundraising email on election objection as Capitol descended into chaos.” Sadly, this says it all about Hawley’s motives.

Dear Mr. Rust, Thank you for your prayers. . . but, your paper is probably one of the very few in the U. S. that doesn't show what happened at the Capitol yesterday; why? Are you trying to hide from the citizens of Cape Gir what is happening? You certainly did not print the startling news of what our country went through yesterday. Our congress was in danger of their lives. You show none of that.

Prayers. Yes. Thoughts and prayers.

Yes. Many fine people on both sides. I've heard that before.

While no one condones the violence and break-in of the Capitol building yesterday, it would’ve been nice if the same people screaming about VIOLENCE and VANDALISM today would’ve cared this past year when our cities were being destroyed. DEAD SILENCE from the Democrats and their news media buddies when mobs of leftists looted, burned, and otherwise destroyed American businesses across the nation.

Now then the blame for yesterday's action is not one person's actions but the actions of a society filled with hate for one reason or another. Lady Justice has to be blind to ALL groups that are bent on destruction and should prosecute them to the fullest extent of the Law.

It is important to let those investigators do their job of determining if any BLM/ANTIFA or Other outside forces were involved in spearheading the violence. Cool heads must prevail or the USA will become another 3rd world country taken over by those who are the most violent.

In the meantime, we as Americans need to pray to God to Heal the USA and Bless it once again.

It is a waste talking to you, but I would try if you contact me. -- Posted by Steve Essner on Wed, Jan 6, 2021, at 11:23 PM

I'm right here Steve. Let's talk... does the written word or conversation concern you?

Post away.

This all started with a flagrant lie about the election. Now we have a flagrant lie being spread to justify the anarchy caused by the first flagrant lie. ANTIFA did it.

Missouri deserves better. -- Posted by Wilburn Richardson on Thu, Jan 7, 2021, at 9:24 AM

Nice try at campaigning for the next election. You and your fellow party leaders looked the other way for 4 years of violence and voted in a guy accused of sexual assault and is racist (according to his VP Kamala Harris). America deserves better.

When you get the plank out of your eye please let us know.

The biggest threat the to America and right now is QAnon. Give President Joe Biden emergency powers to use the full might of U.S. Military against them.

Time to put it into play.

Pay attention to the radical, marxist democrats of today people. This is why Missouri is redder than ever.

not_sorry

So you support Terrorists?

The Insurrection Act of 1807 needs to be put into play.

Just more nonsense from Boo! I think you need a job. If you have one I would suggest you get to work. Don't forget those meds.

Jon, You stated: "...not least because it was incited by a U.S. president." Please explain how this was 'incited' by President Trump.

Greywolf, I told you and REN and Stempy along time back that this grifter was leaving. Any one that understands decency could see it. I’m retired bud, spend my days at the lake, I am fortunate enough to not have to do the daily grind. Thanks to trading in the one thing that only China makes and the world has to have has been very good for me.

Kuul, Trump speech yesterday: Calling the outcome of the election “this egregious assault on our democracy,” he said his supporters should “walk down to the Capitol.”

Mr. Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., warmed up the audience by warning of challenges to Republican members of Congress who did not back the pro-Trump efforts: “We’re coming for you,” he said.

Giuliani called for TRIAL BY COMBAT yesterday! Trial by combat means you fight your opponent, and if you win, you win the "trial." That's pretty explicit.

So you support Terrorists? -- Posted by Brighter Days on Thu, Jan 7, 2021, at 10:32 AM

Nope. Antifa and the BLM organization are your friends, not mine.

Grab a mirror...

not_sorry

But you openly support QAnon.

Gonna take a lot more than your word - not worth much. Simply cut and post where I did. Or you're lying. We'll await your non-response.

not_sorry: I believe that Brighter Day has flipped out....you should see some of his rantings on the speakout threads.

Who elected Jack Dorsey (Twitter) and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) to a political office or who appointed them to be judges on a judicial court....no one, they are just billionaires who own social platforms that have no one to answer or report to. Congress is scared of them and only President Trump tried to corral their power-hungry attempts to control what Americans and the citizens of the world think and do. Americans had better wake up before it's too late or we will be forever controlled by "Big Brother" and the "Thought Police".

Respect comment (0) Don't respect (7)

Guess the number of Don't respects says it all - the Tech/Biden Sheep won't stand for anything and will fall for everything - sad little lambs.

It's would be hilarious if it wasn't so hypocritical -- everybody and everything's fault is the presidents. The Bidencrats are out today.

What an absolute terrible thing to do - thought the Dems liked that raised fist....little Biden Lamb. Come back when you got something real to complain about.

Well Boo, I guess we have something in common after all. We are both retired and spend a lot of time on a lake. See, that's what I am talking about. We all have more in common then we know. Sorry for assuming you had a full time job. My bad.
