So, JD Vance.....
In 2016, apparently, JD Vance was a vehement never-Trumper. He said a bunch of things.
In 2016, he wrote that
he goes "back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical as*hole like Nixon who wouldnft be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that hefs Americafs Hitler."
Nixon, huh? Well, I think that history is going to completely re-evaluate who Nixon was once the truth comes to light. But anyway....
"I'm a Never Trump guy," Vance said in an interview with Charlie Rose in 2016, a clip used in both the new ads. "I never liked him."
a screenshot of a Vance tweet from October 2016. "My god what an idiot," he wrote, referring to Trump.
and yes, even
Vance expressed a similar sentiment in other interviews and since-deleted tweets from that time, including publicly mulling the idea of supporting Hillary Clinton, calling Trump "noxious" and "reprehensible."

Now, in the midst of all the current VP upheaval, hand-wringing, groaning, questioning (not a bad thing in itself) and general chaotic atmosphere, I would like to remind myself and fellow frogs of the following:
Prior to his Damacus moment, Saint Paul was in fact Mr. Saul, and he hated both Jesus and Christians. He reported approved the murder (stoning) of Stephen, and guarded the garments for those that did the dirty work.
He persecuted Jesus' followers, and hunted them down. No doubt, Paul-Saul was a vehement Never-Jesus-er....
Now, I'm not suggesting that there is a spiritual connection between DJT and Vance.
All I'm saying is, sometimes, the person most against someone and with the worst idea of that someone, can become that other person's most stalwart, biggest supporter and most effective advocate, and we have a great example in Paul.
The other thought I had was, if you are a praying person, then ask God why. Ask God why Donald Trump choose JD Vance as his VP. Aks God and then listen. Then add THAT to your data, facs, information.
Seek a bit of heavenly wisdom. Maybe God knows something you don't. (kek)
I'm going to be adding JD Vance to my prayer list. I'm going to be praying for him. For my part, I do not take his previous stance on DJT as a sign of a problem. Rather, I take it as another reminder that everyone is on the path of Awakening, and sometimes, the greater the contrast between before and after, the more fervent the person they are in their new outlook.
Something worth considering, imo.
His pick of JD Vance along with oddities at RNC convention ,( all seeing eye of money in backdrop, lady praying to a non Christian deity), Vance having worked at same law firm as Michael Obama, etc. Me and the wife are starting to think both sides serve Satan and everything is a massive psyop to keep us complacent until the end. Unless we hear Trump say outright that he gave his life to Jesus on such and such date and serves only Him, we will be weary. The book of revelation says that even the very elect shall be deceived and it doesn’t mention America aside from maybe one of the symbols of a part of the statue that Daniel prophesied about. According to revelation, there is no good and prosperous period into the tribulation. I trust God only and remain skeptical of Trump and the “white hats” making America great again.
