“It’s the last day of Ramadan and I really shouldn’t be posting negative vibes but I must cause I had to block a woman today and I don’t usually do that. I usually let people show themselves for who they really are but today I had to draw a line. “

You will NOT be allowed on my page to tell Arab and Muslim communities that we are the cause of the genocide of our people when we have been living it for 17 months - yes SEVENTEEN months. Trump has only been in office for 2 months.

STOP IT. And I already said this a hundred times before - STOP telling Arab Americans and Muslim Americans that we are to blame for Donald Trump. First of all - IT IS FALSE. It’s LIES. The media is a propaganda machine and it’s funny how the same folks will tell us how the mainstream media isn’t to be trusted about many things but all of a sudden they are right here.

The data does not support the claims. I am an electoral organizer and strategist. I have access to the data - and what happened as you know but don’t want to admit is that folks in every community across racial, ethnic and socioeconomic lines either voted for Trump (a minority of them), voted for a 3rd party (tiny tiny numbers) or didn’t vote at all. When people claim that any certain demographic voted MORE for the Democratic Party, it’s true but what they are not saying is that is of those who actually went to the polls.

So 80% of X community voted for Kamala only means 80% of those who actually got up and voted for the top of the ticket, it does not account for every eligible voter in said community/demographic.

People stayed home OR they just voted down the ballot because they lost trust. People are TIRED. They’ve been TIRED. Life has been hard for folks. AND on top of that there was a full blown genocide supported by the last Administration in full effect.

Trump is an accumulation. Trump isn’t about one man, it’s about what we allowed and let slide for us to get here. It’s about the inconsistency and hypocrisy of liberals and the Democratic Party. It’s about not bringing material change to people’s lives. It’s about telling people vote for us cause we won’t be as bad, instead of sharing a vision we can all believe in.

Trump is a result of years of failure and stagnation. Years of movements throwing each other under the bus. Years of reactionary politics instead of building actual infrastructure and a future for our people. Years of responding to the opposition instead of developing our own narrative.

Years of allowing the criminalisation of Muslims, immigrants and Black folks. Pinning up communities against each other. Years of incompetent leadership. Years of billionaires setting the agenda and not the working class.

So if you are still mad, Blame us all. You included! We have to sit with the fact that we can all do better and many of us did more for the Democratic Party than it ever did for our people or itself.

The bloodshed we see in Gaza is BI-PARTISAN. You just think the bloodshed is worse now because you hate Trump. Me, I stand against any and all injustice regardless of who occupies the White House.

Focus and let’s get organized and end this false narrative once and for all and if you hear it in your circles - stop it. We don’t have time for this.”

Deep Breath.....

I do not vote. Am a Christian. Which means am a follower of Christ.

Jesus Christ did not get involved in Politics. He avoided instances where the Jews tried to cease him to be King...
He told Pilate, who was worried about Jesus claiming himself as a King, that his Kingdom was no part of the World.
He instructed HIS disciples to BE no part of the World....Which meant THAT THYEY TOO WOULD NOT INVOLVE THEMSELVES IN POLITICS AND RULERSHIP ISSUES OF THIS WORLD...(italics, not screaming).

God's people, the Ancient Israelites, were instructed to not get involved with the Politics of outside Nations.

They were to form NO alliances with those who did not view God's laws as sacred.

The Israelites themselves, were not to make any major decisions without first consulting God.
Theocracy. This is the Nation Jesus was born into and this is the principle he taught.

We live in a world controlled by the Devil....He offered Jesus all the Kingdoms of the World and said clearly to the Son of God, they have been given into my hands....Jesus did not dispute this.

When God's people dedicate their lives to him, like Jesus did during his baptism, they are denouncing their old sinful lives and promising to live for God.

Living for God means no longer meddling in what the Bible clearly states is Satan's World.

God's people in Ancient times did not attempt to change other systems....not of Government.
Jesus did not try to change Government.

So true Christians today cannot be involved in establishing or removing any Government. not if they are imitating Christ.

So....NO one can accuse me of being responsible for anything any Government enacts or removes.

But it is really curious, that a man who was here stating unequivocally, that he was part of a movement to elect a certain candidate along with others of his belief, is now stating that he was not responsible for that person coming to power....

Seriously? If you voted for anything that passes you are responsible.....which is one of the blessings and quite frankly, the reason God requires his people separate themselves, because they are Holy to Him and he does not want any taint on them from the dealings of Political backlash as a symptom of man trying to do what they cant and continuing to go in all the wrong directions.

If you voted for something, you are just as responsible for it as anyone else who did....
