The following sections have been taken from my Facebook posting at the invitation of Troy Day:
Jan. 3, 2026
I feel great joy in seeing President Maduro apprehended and whisked away from Venezuela. I have been praying for this for years. But President Trump’s new conference on the topic was a great shock/disappointment. Rather than stress the liberation of the Venezuelan people, and the end of the drug highway from Venezuela, he touted how U.S. companies will now get control of Venezuelan oil. This is what the Latin American Left had been saying, we don’t care about liberty, it’s all about oil. Awful. Let us pray for a new era of peace and freedom in Venezuela and a rapid transition to a democratic government.

Trump’s menacing words on Greenland are outlandish. Greenland has given all the access to American armed forces that the US Government requested. In WWII that was multiple bases and thousands of personnel. The Republican party I grew up with believed in extending freedom and self-determination for others. Now Trump supporters believe it is OK to override the opinions and desires of the people of Greenland. The National Review, which has been the cornerstone of Republican conservative thought since the time of the great William Buckley, argues rightly that we have no business annexing Greenland See the article by Rich Lowrey, “Don’t Annex Greenland. Jan. 6, 2026).
Jan 8, 2026
Trump’s foreign policy seems to have taken an ever more negative and destructive turn. I rejoiced at the abduction and arrest of Maduro, as have practically all Venezuelans. But It seems Trump in not interested in reestablishing Venezuelan democracy and handing over power to its recently elected president, Ms. Machado. Oil seems his only target. This seems to validate the chant that Latin Americans have often repeated, that America is an imperialistic power.
Now Trump is after Greenland. Shameful. Greenland gave full access to its land in WWII with many of our bases constructed on its territory. Denmark and Greenland have always been very friendly to the US. If there is a true strategic need for a military buildup in Greenland, that surely would have been granted by the people of Greenland. But the idea of forcefully buying Greenland when the people do not desire to be part of the United States is beyond the pale. We fought our own war of independence from Britain for the principal of self-determination (check out the Declaration of Independence). Trump’s threats are something out of 19th century imperialism.
How has the Republican Party descended to this? Does anyone remember the “Young Americans for Freedom” of the 1960s that advocated for an aggressive expansion of freedom (anti-communism) in the world? That was a moral principle. For most of my adult life, I voted Republican partly because of this vision. I volunteered for the Army in 1967, during the Vietnam War, because I believe that anti-Communism in the 1960s was as important as anti-Fascism in the 1940s. America’s wars from the 1940s were fought for our national interest, but also for others. (check out my small book on this on Amazon: “America’s Just Wars in the Cold War.”)
In 2022 I published a major work entitled, “America in Danger: Left and Right.” In it I showed that the Republican Party has experienced a drastic injury to its ideology by the slow and steady influence of Ayan Rand (of “Atlas Shrugged,” etc.) and her demonic ideology of selfishness. It seems that Trump if the perfect Ayn Rand president. I also suggested in “America in Danger” (available on Amazon) that Trump was Satan’s “Manchurian President,” meaning that he looks good to many Americans, but had tremendous demonic influence which will become increasingly destructive. That is now happening.
For those of you who may thing my book was exclusively anti-Right and Anti-Republican, WRONG. Half the book is dedicated to how Marxism and its derivative, Wokism, are deeply laced with demonic ideas that leave many of its believers subject to serious demonic infestation. The section on the Left ends with a discussion of spiritual remedies to be utilized against the radical Left, including intercessory prayer, and more radically, using a “command disablement” prayer modeled by St. Paul in Acts 13. The entire book is an attempt to understand history from a spiritual perspective, especially taking into account demonic influences on human thought and actions – topics rarely touched on.

This post is a perfect example of misguided commentary that lacks a grounded understanding of international relations and political ethics. The assertion that Trump’s interest in Venezuelan oil signifies imperialism is overly simplistic. According to the Pew Research Center, economic interests often drive foreign policy decisions, and it is crucial to recognize the complexities behind such actions rather than labeling them as solely imperialistic (Pew Research, 2020). Furthermore, the claim regarding Greenland fails to acknowledge the strategic geopolitical realities at play, which have historically justified U.S. military presence in such territories (Christianity.com, 2021). Moreover, equating Trump with Ayn Rand’s philosophy of selfishness without providing substantial evidence undermines the argument’s credibility. Academic discourse requires a more nuanced approach rather than resorting to sensationalist rhetoric or labeling political figures as ‘demonic.’ Such statements detract from constructive dialogue and resemble heretical claims against individuals who do not conform to one’s ideological perspective. In conclusion, this post relies on flawed premises and presents an extreme view that misrepresents facts and engages in speculative theology rather than grounded political analysis.

Troy Day No, events are so fast moving it is hard to catch up. Trump’s demonic influences become more obvious every day.
Paul Hughes
President Trump is marshaling all the powers of his office to save the USA and by extension the Free World from self-destruction, the onslaught of Totalitarian Socialist policies and the rise of radical Islamism and imperialistic arch-enemy China. In his herculean efforts he can be seen as a Biblical “type” of Deliverer in the pattern of Cyrus the Great, and a Liberator of nations much like Simon Bolivar, national hero of six Latin-American nations.

Troy Day //great POTUS who keeps on trucking and moving us ahead//
No, objectively, he’s not great. He’s on the bottom 3 of the most effective presidents polls, of course, other than those done by Republicans.
Yes, I admit, he’s still truck’n. satanic power is being permitted to drive the nation unhindered, so it seems.
He’s moving us ahead to absolute ruin.
D W Haigler Jr
Troy Day, his approval rating is down to 41%, which is bad for the GOP with the midterm elections coming this year.
Troy Day
D W Haigler Jr sure So were Biden Obama and Bush Jr
How much is gas price your ways?
D W Haigler Jr
Troy Day, about the same as when Biden went out, and living expenses are soaring under Trump although he promised to lower prices on day one, another empty promise.
Troy Day
D W Haigler Jr well when Biden went out pipeline was opened
Trump had already told oil Co drill baby drill before Christmas

Paul Hughes Re: President Trump is marshaling all the powers of his office to save the USA William DeArteaga what else should he do for you?
Paul Hughes
President Trump is one of a series of deliverers who represent a “stumbling block” and “rock of offense” set up by God, upon which those who “stumble” shall be “broken.” As Gamaliel warned, those who oppose God’s representative and God’s purpose run the risk of opposing God.

Paul Hughes NO ONE for years cared about Greenland WHILE we paid the bill for NATO to keep its corridor there. The moment we said we will fix it for the world everyone is a specialist on Greenland – Fact Check: German troops left Greenland in 44 hrs due to tariffs threat 44 hrs and 44 shots 🙂 The mighty American Eagle is flying over Greenland
Troy Day
Jesse Morrell Terry Wiles @followers THE REASON America got into WW2 so late is because THEOLOGIANS did not support POTUS efforts for world peace. Stalins priests and Hitlers bishops wrote volumes and songs in support praising the great Raich and USSR – – – well think about it NOW if a world war brings the New Millenium of Christ should we not support God’s will over America?
ONCE again Paul Hughes William DeArteaga support for PEACE in Venez. + Iran is support of Pres. TRUMP’s foreign policy. I do not see ANY other country wanting to bring PEACE in Venez. + Iran

Tom Torbeyns not sure what you meant by
human beings to not bring in the reign of Christ
For this is exactly what @jose sellinas believes

Tom Torbeyns if it wasnt for the GOLD crosses one could think you were honored and ordained by the khalifate in turbans 🙂

Troy Day that is my friend Mar Awa III of the Assyrian Church of the East. His people have been slaughtered by the millions by those “turban wearers”. All for the sake of Christ.

Nelson Banuchi what was your comment and WHY am I not able to see it ?
Nelson Banuchi
Troy Day Don’t know why, but here it is:
//great POTUS who keeps on trucking and moving us ahead//
No, objectively, he’s not great. He’s on the bottom 3 of the most effective presidents in two or three polls (other than those done by Republicans).
Yes, I admit, he’s still truck’n. Satanic power is being permitted to drive this nation to the ground unhindered, so it seems.

I would like to RT my Dr. Craig Keener to from his today’s post when he said:
” I’m not an assassin. I’m not even in a protest march (though I have done that a couple times over the years). I simply expressed my views on certain recent issues (which I don’t do very often). If I were a citizen of China or Russia right now it would not be my prerogative to criticize my government. In the U.S., though, our heritage not only allows us but encourages us to participate in the democratic process by expressing our views. And that is also true for those of you who have expressed views contrary to mine. So: I am going to sleep now…”
I know most our @followers stopped reading @ Craig Keener: I’m not an assassin… 🙂
I also would like to give credit to a long term follower of our page Dr. James Philemon Bowers WHO also stated this:
“Can we just disown Donald Trump? Why do Republicans not repudiate this President who is alienating all our friends and allies? Most Americans do NOT stand or agree with Donald Trump’s views on Europe. He is a walking tragedy. Please, friends in other countries, know we are appalled at this president’s actions and words. Is this man mentally ill?”

The Canadia PM has directly attacked Christians, embraced China, renewed attacks on Pro-Life, embraced gender & transgender issues … while POTUS has embraced prayer, vows to eliminate fraud, drugs, DEI, supports Pro-Life … I do believe your discernment is off base
Patricia Riley (FB)
Jonathan Cahn, a Messianic Jewish rabbi and author known for his prophetic, end-times-focused, and biblically-based analysis of American events, has positioned Donald Trump as a critical figure in what he describes as a divine mandate to turn America back to God. Cahn’s views on Trump, often delivered as “prophetic words” or “messages,” frame the former president as a vessel in the hands of God for a specific historical purpose
John Ballard (FB)
I dare not say much fearing the wrath of everybody in this conversation, but I need to mention that there is a growing number of observers who do not fall neatly into the binary world forming most of our lives, a world now penetrated from many angles that don’t fall neatly into either camp.

Trump, is one of the last tests of the Wheat and the Chaff, yes he is abrasive etc, but we had Kings that God loved who also had great issues in the past, what he is doing is going against dark dark forces. And if people pay attention to what rallies Against Trump, its the forces that love Abortion, those who are Pro Trans, theose that support the Mutilation of Children in the name of Trans, the whole I can be anything I want, the Socialist, the Communist, those that we fought wars against, are all Trumps enemies . . .
