The U.S. midterm elections have been held and now the White House of President Trump faces a new political landscape that changes everything.
Yes, as we all know, the country has been very divided for quite some time, with all the possible raucousness and enmity one could imagine to go with it as most recently seen in the Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination.
But now, for the first time, President Trump looks out upon a technically divided government where the Republicans no longer have complete control in the Presidency, the Senate, and the House.
In yesterday’s election, the Republican majority increased in the Senate, seemingly as a result of the Kavanaugh nomination getting so ugly by the Democrats. But control of the House of Representatives went to the Democrats with them gaining a majority of the seats, and also gaining the powers that come with it.
The Senate has the power to confirm appointments by the President that require consent and to ratify treaties. So Trump perhaps has some good sailing ahead when it comes to federal appointments such as those in the judiciary. But the House of Congress has several powers assigned just to it, including those to initiate revenue bills, launch investigations, and impeach federal officials.
And now control of those powers are in the hands of Democrats, like liberal democrats from California & New York such as Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, and Jerrold Nadler. And representatives such as these will take charge of important and powerful congressional committees.
It’s been thought that Maxine Waters may head Financial Services, and this is the same person who is notorious for encouraging people to harass and verbally attack anywhere in public members of the White House and leaders of the Republican Party.
Schiff is thought to possibly lead the Intelligence Committee and has a highly partisan history with investigations. While Nadler, who is thought to potentially head up the Judiciary Committee, has made it clear he supports open borders and wants impeachment proceedings against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and President Trump as well.
Many of the political experts are saying to brace for an avalanche of empowered opposition tactics by the Democrats in the House of Congress to bring the Trump agenda to gridlock.
And with the Democrats now having subpoena power and impeachment power, look for an onslaught of investigations and subpoenas around everything, like Trump tax records and scandals, that could provide Democrats any leverage, including up to possible impeachment proceedings in the House, no matter if it has any chance of succeeding.
And as we have seen, the Trump Administration does not take things lying down, the President will try to give as good as he gets. In less than 24 hours after the midterm election, he has preemptively made moves on his chessboard. He held an open conference with the press that seems to be the most combative ever in history.
And he proactively reached out to the Democrats calling Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic Leader of the House, and sweet-talking her about how they can work together and get things done. Also, he fired Jeff Sessions, whom he called his do-nothing missing-in-action Attorney General, that had recused himself from the Russian investigation, which that firing some Democrats had called a red-line.
So in a time in the U.S., when we have already went to a new place of hyper division, partisanship, and enmity, where the gloves have already come off with things said and done as never before, it seems the worst is yet to come.
As Jesus Christ foretold in Matthew 24, the Last Days of this Age will be a time full of offenses by people that are the root cause of the turmoil and violence in society. When people are offended by what others say and do, that generates hurt, disappointment, betrayal, and retribution. All, signs of the times.
The Holy Bible teaches that a house divided against itself cannot stand (Mark 3). And this stands as a prophecy against the future of an America that is now hyper-divided and has lost faith in its institutions.
The Presidency – besieged; the Congress – dysfunctional; the FBI – tarnished; the Supreme Court – politicized; the military – a coup with martial law or civil war coming? Don’t think it can’t happen here.
Look how far the spiral went downward and so quickly. Why? Because the Church in America has become Laodicean to where the U.S. has been letting go of its Biblical moorings losing the conservative way that made us and kept us great as a nation. Lots of people feel it. That’s why the ‘Make America Great Again’ slogan and rallies caught on so strongly.
At this point, only a reconciliation in the country that is enabled by the charity of God and repentance can prevent judgments that are coming for America.
And for now, it seems the two years between this midterm election and leading up to the next presidential election could be a perilous time indeed for the U.S.
