WHY did I title this Blog entry the way I did?
'It's elementary, Sherlock' … blessings from Heaven will not fall on America, IF Americans keep dancing to the devil's tune.
Trump & Vance continue claiming they are Christians - but THIS, is NOT a Christ-like move 😳 Christ is very clear on the issue of sexual perversion.
And moves like this is why I do not put any political party before-or-after my given Name.
1) I am FIRST OF ALL, A Christian - my FULL ALLEGIANCE IS TO ELOHIM. Full stop.
2) I am secondly, an American - and though I do carry a smidgen of African, at least 1/3 or more Israeli Ashkenazi & Sephardic, and enough American Lakota DNA in my veins to claim Lakota standing … my blood runs red, white, and blue; and I understand that I am only journeying over this Land, my true Home is beyond the clouds with Yeshua (and someday, soon I'm thinking, I'll go there), so I don't politicize my ethnicity to curry political favors that do do more harm to America, than good.
3) I stand with President Trump a because he stands with America & Americans - what his standing with Elohim is, in MPO, up for grabs given this particular appointment. And it just further proves my point that one cannot be a fully committed Christian and be in politics: it's like mixing oil & water - it may look appealing, but it is useless. It's not workable. Trump is a businessman, which is good for America. Trump is a hard-nosed politician, which is also good for America at this point in time. It is questionable as to whether or not, he is a bonafide Christian; I do not believe he is a wicked religious hypocrite like obama - but he may be more on the levels of shifting {christianity} exampled by the clinton's, bush's, and biden's than it appears in the moment. Time will tell.
But, whatever the case may be … Trump is Elohim's Man for the Hour. There is no doubt, about that.
4) It is true that we are not to judge people … BUT, Scripture tells us to judge the spirit to see if it lines up with what is being claimed: in this case, this Trump choice is not a wise one, and it will seriously undermine a studiously laid election promise to "make America, great again'. One cannot gain Elohim's favor, or National Blessing, by deliberately going against one of Elohim's direct commands concerning sexual perversion - just sayin'; if one wants the blessing, they have to walk the talk. Full stop.

(Reuters) - The U.S. Senate on Monday confirmed scott bessent to be President Donald Trump's Treasury secretary, giving the billionaire hedge fund manager a central role in shaping the new administration's policy ambitions around tax cuts and spending and managing economic relationships with allies and adversaries alike.
As the 79th Treasury secretary, bessent will have sway over the nation's tax collections and its $28 trillion Treasury debt market, with vast influence over fiscal policy, financial regulations, international sanctions and investments from overseas.
The vote was 68-29, with 16 Democrats supporting the nomination.
bessent, 62, is already shaping up to be a forceful advocate for Trump's economic agenda, which centers on reducing taxes and imposing steep tariffs that Democrats, and some economists, argue could undo some of the progress the Federal Reserve has made in getting inflation under control.
In his confirmation hearing, bessent warned that failure to renew $4 trillion in tax cuts expiring at the end of this year would be a "calamity" for middle-class Americans, and made the case that tariffs would help combat unfair trade practices, increase revenues, and bolster U.S. leverage in international negotiations.
He also pushed back against the idea that Trump's policies would be inflationary, and said that the administration's efforts to increase oil production would actually help bring down prices.
As Trump's top economic official, bessent will face a range of challenges, the most immediate of which will be managing federal cash flows after the government hit its statutory debt limit on Trump's second day in office. Even before he was sworn in, the Treasury Department was using "extraordinary measures" to avoid breaching the cap and triggering a catastrophic default. bessent told senators in his confirmation hearing that there would be no default on his watch.
bessent will also need to deal with the prospect of rising budget deficits and added government debt estimated to run into the trillions of dollars, if tax cut extensions and other promised tax breaks cannot be offset by revenue increases or spending cuts. If precedent holds, he will be a central actor working with Congress on the size and shape of any tax reforms.
More than 60% of the federal debt is scheduled to roll over on his watch - and that's before taking into account issuance growth that has been running at more than $2 trillion a year since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Worries about rising budget deficits and stickier inflation have in recent weeks sent long-term bond yields up as investors demand more compensation for risk. That in turn has driven up the average rate on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages to more than 7%, a pain point with particular saliency for Americans looking to buy a home.
bessent used his confirmation hearing to talk tough on deficits, declaring that government spending is "out of control," though it is not clear how much he could do to rein it in. He backed Trump's pledge not to touch the Social Security retirement program and Medicare insurance plan for seniors, among the biggest line items in the federal budget, along with interest expense, determined by market rates that the Treasury does not control.
Born and raised in South Carolina, bessent says he still listens to farm radio. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Yale University and has spent his career in finance, working for investors george soros and jim chanos, and running his own firm Key Square. bessent - as fifth in line to the presidency - is also the highest ranking openly gay federal official in history.
