I Want To Be Like Mike - Pence

Former Vice President, Mike Pencne, did something the future History books will call extraordinary. When Pence was on the campaign trail he faced a lot of critism regarding his faith in a country which claims to be Christian nation. I believe the critism was valid, because he did come off as WEIRD to many people for his religious beliefs that appeared to border FANTASISM.

So far, nothing weird. Mostly impressive. Michael Richard Pence (born June 7, 1959) is an American politician who served as the 48th vice president of the United States from 2017 to 2021. A deeply conservative Republican, he previously served as the 50th governor of Indiana (2013–2017) and represented the state in the U.S. House of Representatives (2001–2013). Okay. That's good, but nothing History book worth.

Vice President Pence set off for Hanover College, earning his bachelor’s degree in history in 1981. While there, he renewed his Christian faith which remains the driving force in his life. He later attended Indiana University School of Law and met the love of his life, Second Lady Karen Pence.

What was it about this successfal man that gave people the "icks"? Mike Pence stood on his religion and I am sure it was his faith and what it caused him to do because of it, that will be told in History books. Christianity is foundational to Mike Pence's life and political career. He famously summarizes his priorities as, "I’m a Christian, conservative, and Republican—in that order." Mike Pence converted from Roman Catholicism to Evangelical Christianity.

Raised Catholic, he experienced a profound evangelical conversion during college in 1978. He blends these traditions, often describing himself as an "evangelical Catholic". Moral and Political Compass: His religious convictions directly inform his policy stances, most notably his strong pro-life views and deep commitment to religious freedom legislation. In the public sphere: Pence views his time in office—from the U.S. House of Representatives to the Indiana governor's mansion and the vice presidency—as a calling to actively live out his faith in the public square.

What made Pence extra creepy is that he said GOD answers and speaks to him. Former Vice President Mike Pence openly attributes his guidance and decisions to his Christian faith and prayer. He frequently shares that he listens for God's voice and seeks divine direction, such as when he prayed for guidance on policy decisions or relied on his faith to certify the 2020 election results. There you go! That statement made MILLIONS believe Pence had loose screws. GOD DOESN'T TALK TO PEOPLE! The Bible highlights spirit-to-spirit communication primarilythrough the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the human spirit, as well as a spiritual fellowship among believers.

God's Spirit Connecting with the Human Spirit: Romans 8:16 – "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." 1 Corinthians 2:11 – "For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God." John 4:24 – "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." 1 Corinthians 6:17 – "But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him." Proverbs 20:27 – "The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the inner depths of his heart."My reaction. I'm like, he knew better to say that on a public forum. Christians KNOW this from Bible study. BUT, we don't say it out loud because it FREAKS non-bekievers, even Christians. 

1 Corinthians 2:13 – "These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual." Colossians 2:5 – "For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ." Philippians 2:1 – "Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy..."

People don't believe what the Bible says. Many call the Bible a FAIRY tale. Bible studying Christians know this and experience this. Then I thought, "Wonder if he is pandering for votes and really don't believe it either but will SAY anything to win." I immediately didn't like him. Because if he was lying, that was a horrible way to honor God. Then I thought, "If he didn't know not to make that declaration publically, then he's gonna be the dumbest vice president yet."

His role at the White House was restricted and we barely heard from him. But, we saw how sweet he was to his wife. He was not out on news shows screaming lies. He was steady with the same face, voice, and manner every time you saw him. No visible aggregous faults and no fire neither. You got bored just LOOKING at him.

The election came and went. Then on January 6, 2021, certification of the winners in the election were to be certified by Congress. All eyes were on Pence. He probably had been pressured for weeks to not certify the election so Trump could stay in office as president. His follows blew up social repeat his marching order: Trump was cheated. But God showed up and the DEVIL showed out.

I'm sure due to Pence's religous conviction and walk with God, he could not be a part of national FRAUD nor LYING to the American people. A person who is following God does not participate in sin on any scale. Pence CERTIFIED the election results and became public enemy number one. Trump was furious and told the people who had been welcomed to ralley and protest this particular day (many from hate groups) a stolen election, were given ATTACK ORDERS on Pence. They wanted Pence's blood and other's blood. Anger and rage had been fanned towards Pence as Trump addresses the ravenous crowd. They were storming the Capitol like a rabied pack of wolves focused on delivering pain. They chanted as they broke windows and doors of the Capitol building, "HANG Mike Pence."

While menbers of Congress hid for their lives, Pence had anticipated the outcome of his decision. He knows his people and knew he would be signing his death warrant on that day. Pence CHOOSE GOD over EVIL. Now he is speaking out as mid-term elections draws nearer. 

People no longer looks at him as weird or a fanatic. They know the stregnth it took to go against his party. Against the president.They are ruthless when it comes to revenge and cancelling people. Trump would have investigated him on something and found him guilty. Everyone knew it and waited on it. Even in the face of this - Pence chose CHRISTIANITY.

He was the BRAVEST person on that day in D.C. I guess now people sees his character, stregnth, and courage to do what's right even when it is hard. FINALLY a POLITICIAN I can look up to. I hope in scary, tough, uncertain times, I won't bow to the pressures of evil. That, come what may, I choose to walk out my faith no matter the consequences.

My family does't like me writting on these serious topics. In 2021, I was threatened by the Red Pill community, because, I, a woman, who wrote a book about MANHOOD. Knowing a woman wrote about men, made them see red. The AUDACITY of a woman to tell men about men. I must be PUNISHED. My book was not a put down of those men, but an olive branch offering to let's find a way to solve this animosity between the sexes. I actually show in chapters that manhood has always had to be redefined with advancement of the society. 

Men have to do the work of defining what manhood is. The Caveman days and era of the Macho man caouldn"t survive in this present advanced technological age. There was nothing wrong with those men, but they needed to redefne manhood several times throughout History to have a new purpose in new ages. Manhood is going through a DIFFICULT GROWTH SPURT. Growth spurts can be painful at times and you don't know what kind of new you is being formed. The person is left confused then angry from loss of control. That's all that is occuring and women are waiting to see this modern day technologicaly man to come forward with new purpose and direction. Women are not DTERMINING this new MAN. That is a redefining JOB for men. They are still transforming.

At one time, all a man  had to do was kill something for dinner and he was manly. Next, those who faught in wars were thought of as manly. Next men on horses, then motor cycles, to the next redefining, and so on. Why this angered them when it was not an aggressive blame book, I don't know. But, that is why there is a war between the sexes and why I wrote the book. Not my best work. Needed a lot more editing. So, I won't suggest it even though the concept of MANHOOD always evolving to fit the times and what that was is fascinating though. BACK TO PENCE.

It was Pence's bravery which let us take a breath from Trump for a while. Pence wasn't finished yet. As Donald Trump went about his second campaign for president, many prominent people came out and WARNED it would be CATASTROPHIC if Trump wins the election. People wondered about Pence. Would he ENDORSE Trump and put his hat in the ring for VP again? In the last remaining days of the Presidential Campaign, Pence proved a HERO once again and warned people NOT to vote for Trump.

This man has balls for such a docile quiet speaking man with a purposeful slowness. Mike makes people smile more now, than think that he is some God zealot. Wow! I want to be like Mike! I want to always care for my eternal soul's last stop, which I want to be heaven. I am not out here brow beating non-Christian with rules MADE for those who voluntarily accept Christ and lives by JESUS' EXAMPLE. That was Pence. A quiet storm for the Lord. 

One of the Christian's duties/charge is to POINT people to God, the Cross and not to self. We DRAW people to the kingdom by the EXAMPLE we live which Jesus said would be totally different and strange to those who don't follow Christ. Our Christlike behavior and joy in the Lord (not circumstances or people) makes others WANT what we have. Pence did that every day (I hope his name isn't in the Epstein files and end up with egg on my face). His reward: ridicule at first, then RESPECT.

I now KNOW when Pence says he TALKS to God and God SPEAKS to him, it's true. No one could have stood the PRESSURE he faced WITHOUT God's encouragement. No one could have done what he did who DIDN'T fear the Lord, which makes God happy. He was in ESSENCE sacrificing his safety and possible life. No one, but a person with a personal relationship with God could do what he did. It took a stregnth beyond him. With God, we are more than conquerers through HIS power.

I'm a believer Pence! I'm already a Christian, but you allowed me to see God through your actions. I know God guides those who are LISTENING for his voice in whispers and shouts. When you are happy to talk to someone you love, they respond to that love. Try it yourself. Wake up every morning EXPECTING God's wisdom and guidance. Ask to hear His voice with clarity. Recognize HOW God answers you. There's NO such thing as COINCIDENCE. You won't hear from Him if you're not actively trying to listen to Him for answers. Then test to see was a one time fluke you believed to be God's voice really Him. Watch and varify how you got the answer and continue to look for that way. You will know for SURE if it's God or your imagination if you HATE the answer. 

It's a TOUGH answer. A godly answer you know is in the Bible, lol. The ultimate goal of this communication is so people can see God's NATURE of doing the right, godly thing, love and not hate. Truth and not lies. He doesn't encourage sinful behavior. Also notice WHY you don't like the answer received. It is exposing weaknesses about self. This is how people MATURE in Christ. Trust the answer and don't waiver.

Thank you. I pray Pence's continued strengnth and that his example remains true and clear and finally, tell God hi for me the next time yall convo. And GOOD LUCK in your run for president.

Why Are Republicans Cheaters In Politics?

****ORIGINALLY WRITTEN DURING 2024 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN******

Republicans have not stopped trying to STEAL elections and plan to send in people to monitor elections on November 4, 2025, the Justice Department will send monitors to Passaic County, New Jersey, and five California counties “to ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law” following Republicans’ requests in both states. Or better known as INTIMIDATION tactics.

I find this original post just as relevant today as when it was written in 2024. Why are Republicans cheaters in politics? On July 16, 2026, the president will address the nation on what is expected to be, greivances about how the 2020 election was stolen from him and a boat load of other WRONGS he has suffered as the greatest president ever. It all boils down to CHEATING. Republicans are cheaters!!

From Georgia to Arizona, Nevada to Michigan, Republicans are mounting an all-out assault on the election process that journalist Ari Berman refers to as a “five-alarm fire for democracy.”

Why are Republicans turning to CHEATING in an effort to ensure their presidential nominee, Donald Trump, wins the presidential election? Come on. Let's not play dumb. Haven't you cheated at something at least once in your life? If you answered yes, then you know why the Republicans have gone to tactics which are definitely in the category of cheating. But, in case you don't know why people cheat, continue reading.

When we think of cheating, we first think of infidelity in relationships. We think about men and women cheating on each other because it is done so much it has become the NORM, expected, and really no big deal in society. Married men: 20–25% of married men cheat, according to Professor Nicholas Wolfinger. A 2024 study found that 20% of men admitted to having sex with someone outside their marriage. Married women: 10–15% of married women cheat, according to Professor Nicholas Wolfinger. A 2024 study found that 13% of married women admitted to having sex with someone outside their marriage.

We are not talking about relationships though. We are talking about one political party trying to CHEAT the American people out of their VOTE and their desired choice for PRESIDENT. This has not been occurring forever, it is not the norm. But Republicans have been cheating so much and for so long that it has become EXPECTED of them by society, hopefully not ACCEPTED by society. So, what are our Republican friends up to now? 

Georgia Republicans altered how counties count and certify votes. The Georgia state election board passed a new rule that empowers board members—whose traditional role has been to ministerially certify the number of votes cast for each candidate—to condition certification on a “reasonable inquiry that the tabulation and canvassing of the election are complete and accurate and that the results are a true and accurate accounting of all votes cast in that election.” Broken down, the election board can question ballots and delay state certification of votes if their man doesn't win. 

In Texas, the Republican-controlled state government has for years tried to restrict voting in districts where Democratic candidates do well. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced this week that he has purged over 1 million voters from Texas voter rolls. This increasingly common tactic inevitably removes legally registered voters, often through faulty data screens that target likely Democratic voters. As the old church singers sung, 'Your name is removed from up yonder when the roll is called,' or something like that.

Also in Texas, last week, under Paxton’s orders, the homes of a dozen members of LULAC, the League of United Latin American Citizens, were raided and searched by Texas authorities, including SWAT teams. LULAC said in a statement, “Attorney General Paxton’s actions clearly aim to suppress the Latino vote through intimidation and any means necessary to tilt the electoral process in favor of his political allies.” These are fear and intimidation tactics long employed by cheaters.

Lindsey Graham, (Who passed in July 2026) in an effort to ensure Trump wins all of Nebraska's electoral votes, went to Nebraska to try and get them to change their electoral count rules within 50 days of an election so that they just happen to disenfranchise a bunch of voters. Nebraska splits its five votes, granting two of them to the winner of the state’s popular vote, while the other three are given to the winner of the three congressional districts. 

The South Carolina Republican, Graham, met with Governor Jim Pillen and more than a dozen Republican lawmakers Wednesday with the hopes of shoring up support for a bill that would make all five of Nebraska’s electoral votes go to whoever wins the state, Nebraska’s Republican congressional delegation wrote a letter to Pillen Wednesday urging the state to return to a model where all the votes would be granted to the winner of the whole state. Such a bill would transform Nebraska’s presidential election into a winner-take-all system—at the very last minute. They wanted ALL of Nebraska's votes to go to who they believed would win the state, Donald Trump ensuring Kamala Harris could not receive ANY votes from the state.

Republicans are doing some BOLD in your face CHEATING and do not care who knows it. But why do they continue to cheat even when they know people HATE CHEATERS? Because the reward for them is worth it. 

Cheating can be a shortcut to money, fame, and success. It promises all the reward without the work. It's the path of least resistance—as long as you can avoid being caught. Republicans are so desperate to win, they don't care if they get caught cheating. Their NEED to win has left the realm of what a healthy mature person will and will not do. There are no deterrents such as shame, guilt, and/or ostracization by society that can rein in their need to win. Many would say they have crossed over to sociopathic, psychotic behavior. Everyone agree and know they are prone to CRIMINAL behavior. Their top man Donald Trump is a convicted FELON. Isn't that a criminal?

Research across different fields, from academics to sports, suggests that people with lower self-esteem are more likely to cheat. They might cheat to achieve goals, boost their image, or avoid failure because they don't believe in their abilities. People may also cheat to obtain money or prestige, a desire to prove they're smart, or because they are impulsive. Winning elections such as the presidency, allows for all of the aforementioned REWARDS.

In sports, success often involves comparing oneself to others, which can lead to a sense of entitlement and the belief that one is better than others. Politics is the highest of competitions. It is seen by an audience of millions of voters. The voters are rooting and cheering for their TEAM to win. Just like in sports, the candidates vying for political offices will cheat to win to avoid embarrassment or awkwardness, to attain a certain rank or status, to see if they can get away with it and/or to prove they're smart.

Okay. We know people cheat. You may be one of the cheaters, past or present. But WHAT type of person cheats? WHAT are the different types of personalities that are most likely to cheat? There are several types of personalities that have been found to be more prone to cheating, including narcissists, psychopaths, and those with an avoidant attachment style.

There you have it! A narcissist and/or psychopath are known to be cheaters. Narcissism can present as a mental health disorder along with psychopathic behavior. A narcissist is a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves. Narcissists think the world revolves around them. President elect Donald Trump checks that box. A psychopath typically is a person who is callous, manifests antisocial behaviors, does not see other people as human beings, manipulates them, betrays them, uses them and has total disregard for the law. We have a winner! Donald Trump gets a check for this box also. He uses people, gives them marching orders and then publicly deny he has ever seen or known them. Enter Laura Loomer.

When people succeed in competition against others, it seems to compromise their ethics. It makes them more likely to cheat afterwards. On the flip side, when someone fails too many times, they look for other ways to win such as cheating. Donald Trump has won a presidential election (2015) and lost a presidential election (2020). This makes his chances of cheating even greater because he is operating from both sides of the coin. 

When trying to find an answer or strategy to stop people, Republicans, from cheating, the solution becomes problematic because they are not operating as 'normal' people. Remember, many of the actions of some of the Republican party have crossed over the line of acceptable behavior for a rational person. If they are not affected by symptoms of mental illness than they are operating under peer pressure or even coercion. Lindsey Graham went to Nebraska after public suggestions by a close Trump supporter, Laura Loomer he was 'gay' which he denied. Research suggests that patients with mental illness may be more prone to VIOLENCE if they do not receive adequate treatment. Violence is not always just physical. Everyone knows Trump is not afraid of stirring the pot (or to get others to do the stirring for him) of violence to get people to do his bidding or in retaliation.

Lindsey Graham was one of many Republicans asking Donald Trump to distance himself from the baseless conspiracy theory spreader (Laura Loomer), who also makes racist and degrading posts on her social media platform with a large number of followers. Her response to Graham's request, “Lindsey Graham has never been loyal to President Trump,” Loomer wrote on X (formerly Twitter), adding, “When is Lindsey coming out of the closet? We all know you’re gay, Lindsey… and that’s ok.” If she was used as a WEAPON, she hit EVERY TARGET.

Over the course of the past seven years, Loomer has posted an unending stream of racist and Islamophobic content online, while pushing conspiracy theories about school shootings, election fraud, and the January 6 attack on the Capitol.

Loomer posted a racist attack against Vice President Kamala Harris. “The White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center,” Loomer wrote in a post on X.

Even Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia congresswoman who has pushedschool shooting conspiracies, boosted QAnon, and even questioned if Nancy Pelosi should be tried for treason and executed, called Loomer’s recent social media posts “extremely racist.”

The only way to combat evil is to continue to do good. Edmund Burke said it best, "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing," Voting for people who put the welfare of country and citizens first, without seeking glory, status, or power is how we combat Republicans who have crossed over the SANITY line, either by mental illness, coercion, threat and/or intimidation. Voting, running for political offices, and continuing to resist is what will show there is no room for cheaters in politics just like in sports and relationships.

Even if you, yourself have cheated in life, let us not allow cheating to become the 'norm' in our lives and society when it comes to our political process. Republicans, as I said earlier are BOLD and in your face cheating. With our focused engagement in politics and wise voting, eventually, the GOOD will conquer the BAD. 

Will Men Vote for a Woman President?

After the Presidential Debate, Fox News has been dropping the notion, "Men will probably not vote for Kamala Harris." This is planting the SEED; men don't want to be BOSSED by a woman. Even though there is a difference between bossing and leading.

Donald Trump and JD Vance have been giving interviews for podcasts in the Manosphere. The Manosphere is made up of men from communities such as the Red Pill Community, Incels, and MGTOW, who have a bone to pick with women for ruining America and the world at large. This is the beginning of the "Men should be the head," defense. Even women are saying a woman should not be "over" men as a president..

According to Gallup and Resume Lab, only 28% of men would prefer to work for a female manager, and only 53% feel positive about having women leaders in their organization. The men tend to not like female bosses. 28% of them would prefer to work for a female manager. Only 53% feel rather or very positive about having women leaders in their organization. And a mere 17% would trust a woman more than a man to lead a company. It's not a Kamala Harris problem, it's being a WOMAN problem.

Americans revere presidents as role models, fixating on their status – real or perceived – as founding fathers, real fathers, war heroes, and Master of Diplomacy and making money and cheating on their wives without getting caught (or, at least, without getting divorced). Because presidents epitomize American notions of manhood, elections reveal what kind of man, what type and degree of masculinity, is most respected and deserving of power. ‘Be a man and vote for a woman’: Kamala Harris’s unlikely edge in America’s masculinity election | US elections 2024 | The Guardian. Can a MAN see a WOMAN as a HERO? Is MASCULINITY on the ballot for male voters?

Republicans are associated with more masculine issues and traits, Democrats with feminine ones. National defense and the economy are seen as topics that men care about, because men are expected to prize being providers for and protectors of their families. Healthcare – including abortion rights – and education are seen as women’s issues, because women are supposed to be compassionate caregivers. Even religion is brought into the equation of whether to vote for a woman as president. Can men accept a WOMAN in CHARGE of an entire NATION? Trump is gaining traction with young men because they feel voiceless in this country. They fear with a woman in charge they feel their concerns will be IGNORED. I have addressed the cry of this generation's (males) grievances in another post. 

How many reasons have you heard Kamala Harris should not be president? Has one of the reasons given been due to the Christian religious belief that a woman should not rule over men? If you haven't heard this reason yet, just wait, it's bound to RISE up in your circle of political commentary. Let's put this erroneous belief to rest shall we. 

When it comes to men struggling with antiquated masculinity issues when it comes to voting for a woman as president because of gender, I hope they have at least one woman they know who they view as a woman capable of great things. Maybe a sister or daughter who they would cheer for to reach their full potential. But those male voters do not think beyond THEMSELVES. For those MEN and WOMEN using Christian Scripture as the foundation for NOT voting for a woman to lead a nation, I have a WORD for you.

Christianity has taught for centuries that WOMEN are to be in a submissive position to men and not have a 'role' within the church. The church teaches church leaders should be men. But what happens when the established roles of women within the church, whether correct or not, are applied outside of Christianity and outside of the church? The answer is you get CONFUSION.

The first instance of a woman being considered in a 'lower' role than a man is in Genesis, the first book of the Christian Bible, when we are introduced to Adam. Adam was alone in the Garden of Eden and God saw he was lonely when he was not around. God had created the animals and birds, male and female but Adam did not have a companion so God created him a companion, a wife, and said she would be a helper suitable to him, Genesis 2:20-25.

The KEY point about the wife being a helper here is there was NOTHING to help with. The Garden of Eden was self-sufficient. There was no WORK or toil to do. Work would come into being well after Adam and Eve were created. The REASON a wife was created was for companionship/relationship. This is the 'help' offered by the first wife. Later in Genesis 3:16, as punishment for her disobedience of God, Eve's DESIRES would be for her husband, and he would RULE OVER HER. Her punishment was that her husband, not all men, would rule over her. This is a husband-and-wife thing which cannot be broadly applied to the world of interactions between unmarried men and women as many Christians believe.

Again, we read about the husband-and-wife relationship in the New Testament, Ephesians 5:22-33 says, "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything". Now, me as a woman, do not have to submit to any other woman's husband. It is HER job, according to Scripture, to submit to HER husband. A man does not go to his place of employment as a husband. He is just an employee. Men are just citizens in the United States. WHERE they are husbands is where they have authority. The passages cannot be any clearer.

We do not have to wonder how God felt about women as leaders because we have a clear example in the Bible in the book of Judges. In the Old Testament, judges were military leaders of the tribes of Israel before the monarchy. They were raised by God to govern the tribes and lead them into battle against enemies. Two famous judges were Samson and Gideon. Of the twelve judges chosen by God, there was ONE woman, Deborah. Deborah was a married woman who led Israel. She held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites CAME to her to have their disputes decided, Judges 4:4-5. She defeated Sisera, the commander of the Canaanite Army. She was the commander over 10,000 men. It was a woman, Jael, who actually KILLED Sisera, the Canaanite commander.

What about women having a leadership role within the church leading men. Here we have the example of Phoebe in the book of Romans. Romans 16:1-2, "I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchrea. I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way WORTHY of the saints and to GIVE her any help she may need from you, for she has been a great help to many people, including me." Because her name is listed first by Paul, even before other men, scholars agree she held a position of importance. Paul goes on to tell the church to greet twenty-six other people, but he only instructs them to give Phoebe whatever she asks.

When the words of the above passage are reviewed in its original language, the word 'servant' is defined as ministry sixteen times so scholars accept the word as meaning teacher. Next, we have a woman, Priscilla whose name is listed BEFORE her husband's which scholars also believe is significant, since women were understood to be submissive to their husbands within their Christian teaching. Paul said the husband and wife had risked their lives for him and the Gentile churches. Here we see the author of many books of the New Testament exalting women and the work they have done for the church.

Throughout the Bible, women are hand selected in the same manner as men to carry out the will of God. Different people have been used in different capacities as God sees fit. We are all his creation. We all have different talents. Many Bible teachers and preachers prefer to say women are easily deceived and are the weaker sex, according to Scripture. Well, I have an entire post dedicated to that vein of teaching that I will not address here.

My point is, there is nothing biblical that indicates a woman cannot be president of the United States. Even without scriptural backing, many believe it will be against God's will for Kamala Harris to be president. I ask Christian's to think about the NATURE of God as evidenced by his Word in the Bible. How many times is it written and said, "I have chosen." God chooses to do what he does, and it does not always line up with what we believe should be. His ways are not our ways. 1 Corinthians 1:27, "But God has selected [for His purpose] the foolish things of the world to shame the wise [revealing their ignorance], and God has selected [for His purpose] the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong [revealing their frailty]."

One last point I would like to make. No matter who is the leader of our country, as Christians we are to carry ourselves as such. The person leading us may have been allowed to be in that position to show OUR CHRACTER. Christians are not yanked around by worldly concerns. We are to remain steadfast in our Christian walk and service to God. And we learn through Scripture, as far as God is concerned, to never say NEVER.

Kamala Harris, Lady Liberty

WHAT A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE! This is especially true for Kamala Harris who has a great chance of becoming the first female president of color. But is it really a great day for her?

Throughout time women have been at the forefront of great change. And while on that forefront, they have been ATTACKED viciously. There is also an expectation, Kamala Harris will face sexism, racism, and misogyny as she runs for president. So far, the biggest attack of her opposition has been about the way she LAUGHS. Imagine, being mocked for the way you laugh when you have an impressive resumé when it comes to fighting for the rights of others and prosecuting law breakers. It's like when a little boy says you have cooties because his vocabulary is so limited, and he cannot express what he truly feels.

If we look through history, we will find a large number of women who overcame the personal attacks to forge new paths for the better of community, state and country. In my book, When Will Eve be Forgiven?, I look at several women who were demeaned for their greatness and dedication for change. It has never been an easy path for women, and it won't be for Kamala Harris. 

I want to talk about one woman from my book, Mati-Hari. I choose her because the most vicious attack on Kamala Harris is that she SLEPT her way to the top. The attack on successful women only excelling if they have sex has been used since the creation of man. Christians have been taught how wicked women are using their sexuality to usurp men. This doctrine of women being deceptive and not trustworthy was introduced with the matriarch of women, Eve, in the Christian Bible. Sexy, curvaceous, deceitful, and wanton; these are the words used to depict Eve in the Garden of Eden

Courtesan, artist, free-spirited bohemian, Mati-Hari transformed her mysterious past into a future of world-renowned fame and admiration. Her stage name was Margaretha Geertruida “Grietje” Zelle MacLeod. She was born August 7, 1876, in Leeuwarden. Mati Hari became known as a promiscuous, flirtatious dancer who openly flaunted her body. She would progressively shed her clothes until she wore only a jeweled braw and some ornaments upon her arms and head.

She would live a life of intrigue seducing men of power and position. Accused of spying and even being a double agent between Germany and France she would be tried by a court February 13, 1917, found guilty and executed by a firing squad October 15, 1917.

From the time of her birth till the time of her death, Mati-Hari defined who she was and who she wanted people to know her as. Time nor circumstance limit who she wanted to be, and history recorded her as the person she declared she was. After her death, her head was embalmed and kept in the Museum of Anatomy in Paris. Her head was discovered missing in 2000 and could have disappeared as early as 1954.

Here, a woman clearly used her sexuality in an effort to help her country. Kamal Harris has not used her sexuality in the way Mati-Hari did. Mati-Hari did not hide who she was and how she operated. Neither does Kamala Harris.

In 2004, Vice President Harris was elected District Attorney of San Francisco where she was a national leader in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights, officiating the first same-sex wedding after Proposition 8 was overturned. She also established the office’s environmental justice unit and created a ground-breaking program to provide first-time drug offenders with the opportunity to earn a high school degree and find employment, which the U.S. Department of Justice designated as a national model of innovation for law enforcement. And years earlier, in 1990, she joined the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office where she specialized in prosecuting child sexual assault cases.

In 2010, Vice President Harris was elected Attorney General of California where she oversaw the largest state justice department in the country. She took on those who were preying on the American people, winning a $20 billion settlement for Californians whose homes had been foreclosed on and a $1.1 billion settlement for students and veterans who were taken advantage of by a for-profit education company. She also defended the Affordable Care Act in court and enforced environmental laws.

In 2017, she was sworn into the United States Senate where she championed legislation to fight hunger, provide rent relief, improve maternal health care, expand access to capital for small businesses, revitalize America’s infrastructure, and combat the climate crisis. She questioned two Supreme Court nominees while serving on the Judiciary Committee. She also worked to keep the American people safe from foreign threats and crafted bipartisan legislation to assist in securing American elections while serving on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Her life's journey has not come close to a woman who uses her sex to help her community, state, and country. 

The adjectives used to describe women have not changed much since biblical times due largely to the fact human nature has not changed much either. The Book of Proverbs in the Christian Bible has more vivid adjectives describing womanhood than any other book in the Bible. 

The list of adjectives include: adulterous, aged, angry; bad, beautiful, brawling; careless, chaste, clamorous, comely, compassionate, complacent, contentious; deceitful, devout, diligent, discreet, dishonest, domestic, drunken; elect, evil; fainthearted, fair, faithful, foolish, foreign, fretful; glorious, godly, good, gracious, grave, great,; haughty, high-principled, holy, honest, honorable,; impudent, indiscreet; jealous,; kind, loose, loving; obedient, odious, outlandish; peevish, peaceable, pitiful, prudent; quarrelsome, reverent, righteous; sensible, serious, shamefaced, shameless, silent, silly, simple, sober, steady, strange, submissive, subtle; temperate, trustworthy; unloved; virtuous; wayward, weak, wealthy, whorish, wicked, wily, worthy; and young.

In the coming days and months, there will be many words used to describe Kamala Harris, but Kamala has clearly defined herself through her past accomplishments and future vision for an America where the rights of every person, regardless of their sex or color, is upheld. ADJECTIVES are just that, adjectives. BUT here RECEIPTS are her receipts. She has proven herself time and time again.

So, let them talk. Women have withstood slander and defamation throughout history, and it never stopped them. It's an old trick. As my book, When Will Eve be Forgiven?, highlights, we, women, are free or should be free from MISOGYNY and live into who we are. If I am correct, the nastiness coming towards Kamala, will only fuel her in her purpose. She's a fighter and not a wilting violet. It is a great time to be alive and witness the strength and fortitude she will display as she vies to be the 47th president of the United States. We are witnessing HISTORY. It's not CLOTHES off but GLOVES off for Kamala Harris.
