Something Missing

And here we have our new president. We can like it or not, but it is an office that needs to be respected. It doesn't belong to any party or any social group. The President of the United States of America represents the entire nation. I am talking about it because today there was something missing.

I didn't see the ex-president. I know that he is frustrated, but this is not an excuse to be not-present when the new president takes over the office. Maybe I do not understand the entire political tension, but just the simple respect for the office itself requires for one day to put aside our likes and dislikes. I think we have to stop crying over spilled milk and begin to work on the future.

Some time ago I watched another discussion on Uncommon Knowledge. https://www.hoover.org/research/look-back-2020-year-we-wont-miss

I think this is very interesting and intrinsic to our situation. A broad understanding of our situation helps to see our future. A broad knowledge of the past will build our future. We have to see clearly what has to be done to protect our freedom, safety, prosperity, and freedom of religion. The time to be sitting in your yard and complaining is over.

The power of St. John Paul II as a bishop of Kraków was his ability to listen to the young people, to reach them on their level. I know that now some ultra-conservative catholics are complaining about it, but because of his skills of listening, he was able to bring great faith and ideas into their lives. We have to do the same. Jesus Christ didn't come to people with the Trent Council teaching but he brought to them the very simple message that was able to convert the hearts of many.

I think we missed something very important in the last few years. We stopped listening and just gave correct answers. We criticized the other side, but didn't offer anything instead. To get upset and show it is not a solution. We cannot afford to miss this new time. So wipe away your tears and move on doing the best you can to make the USA great again. In God we trust so the future of this country is with God.

I really appreciate all your opinions but this time requires a lot of wisdom. President Trump did amazing work and I understand his frustration especially being betrayed by own people but sometimes things are going behind us, they are not visible now. I believe that moral life will win but we need to be very respectful and wise.

And President Trump have been impeached twice with not investigations! So Pray for Former President Trump and Pray for President Joe Biden to guide us to God.

After four years of lies against President Trump , not support from most of the politicians, criticizing him, saying he is racist, white supremacy, they compare him with Hitler, not credit from most of the media, disrespectful from the media, Twitter, Facebook cancel his account, etc .....I would not put myself out to be assassinated ! No thanks. President Trump is one of the best President in America because he put God first and want Americans to keep their money, be successful, President Trump kept the American dream alive.
