There's a line in "Dirty Dancing" that has always stuck with me. Jerry Orbach's character told Patrick Swayze's character, "When I'm wrong I say I'm wrong." I've always kept that same mentality.
Yes. Agree. Suck if holding my nose and voting for Herrera Beutler here in WA. Joe Kent for WA 3rd! Thank you saying what I have also concluded. If we can’t trust a RINO to be consistent, they are worse than a Dem. We need people we can trust to have our backs. I love President Trump but he is flat out wrong on Oz AND the jabs.
Gud Gawd Almighty. Since the Demo's are totally aware of the immense back-lash vote coming, their choice was simple. Put Demo's into the Repubs primaries, and they will get the automatic Repu voters who are just going to hit the red button every time. Then we will have our massive "Repu take-over", and we will get the same results as always. The system is rigged. You are not serving us by telling us to vote Repu, those "candidates" are already selected puppets. Argue me that.
JD, it is possible that you are putting your ‘faith’ in the wrong person. Don’t look to ‘man’ to get us out of this dilemma, he can’t. God is still in control of this world, and even when we think it is headed in the wrong direction, He is still in control. Think of how often we sinful humans have extracted God from our lives….took Him out of our schools, locked Him out of most churches, look at Roe v Wade and think about 6 million babies that have been murdered, Sunday isn’t sacred anymore, churches are shutting for lack of patrons….and we expect Him to snap His finger and make everything ‘right’ in our ‘eyes’….That verse out of 2 Chronicles 7:14 “ If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Like the Gospel, it is so simple, but we (who think they are in control refuse to obey) man is blind to the ways of God, and those that profess to know Him don’t always listen. Pray, Repent, and plead for forgiveness.
I agree with you. My father trained me to learn as much about each candadate and vote for the one that would do the best job. Mainly I was looking for honesty. To tell you the truth I very seldom voted for the winner. I did vote for Nixon and as one friend said even when we win we lost! Stay true to your beliefs.
This article is exactly why you are my favorite commentator. Your uncompromising standard insights plus your willingness to be a repentant sinner ae the ingredients to God moving powerfully in our land. God's way is life from death and strength from weakness!
A few thoughts went through my head as I read your post: 1. The PA primary you are talking about has just been revealed to have been characterized by a lot of fraud. (Surprise!) 2. RINOs are part of the "uniparty" in the United States and must be defeated (or converted?) as you say. I'd like to offer something by way of encouragement. It's funny because for some reason I mentioned you specifically in my prayers because you seem so straightforward and earnest. Those qualities are needed. However, I think all of us need to be aware that there is a very high stakes war over the US right now and things are not always what they seem. Take this hypothesis offered by another substack writer about what is going on with Twitter: https://bioclandestine.substack.com/p/military-precision . I'd like to make a suggestion to Christians who are following current world events that might sound strange but I think needs to be made anyway. If you are not familiar with baptism in the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit you will benefit tremendously from learning about it and getting filled with the Holy Spirit. Why? Prophecy, miracles, speaking in other tongues are some of the signs and wonders that are meant to accompany the bold proclamation of the Gospel. Though no one can come to Christ without the Holy Spirit, the baptism of the Spirit is like an overflowing "level-up" in the spiritual power available to each believer. To go into the spiritual battle we are in currently without the "full armor" of Ephesians 6 and the baptism in the Holy Spirit is to go into battle without complete protection or all of the spiritual weapons available to us. God bless the spiritual warriors!
JD, if you could walk on water you wouldn't be writing this column. I'll take your apology over Sean Hannity's bloviating any time. Besides, it's all an illusion.
JD, the qualities of perspicacity and humility are both rare and desirable. In these days of dishonesty in politics, your fair and truthful assessments are refreshing. If we continue to elect RINOs, we shouldn't be surprised to get grifters who put America anyplace but first.
JD, God Bless you! It's so refreshing to read the truth that you write. Before the "2020" election, I've always felt that God reveals the truth to those of us who trust in him and pray regularly. I was and still do, constant research on all things (covid, vaccines, politics, etc) and that's how I found you. I knew instantly that you were a true journalist getting the truth out and not someone who writes "the flavor of the day" and I share your articles with my family and friends who believe the same way. Thank you, JD, for all that you do and keep up the awesome work!!!
This is why I admire you—“If we stay true to God and follow our nationalistic beliefs through an America First ideology, we can focus on unifying true patriots” You have a true spirit for helping our country, not a party. Always stay true to yourself. RINOs are why we are not a bigger force in DC. McConnell and McCarthy need to go; they are not leaders.
Then there is the other side of the argument- don’t let the perfect get in the way of the good.
Which is what conservatives seem to do all the time.
The Marxist Dems always stick together, no matter how horrible their candidates are.
There is nothing they won’t do to WIN.
We need that now. We are in a war for our lives.
Yes. Agree. Suck if holding my nose and voting for Herrera Beutler here in WA. Joe Kent for WA 3rd! Thank you saying what I have also concluded.

I genuinely appreciate your humble honesty, JD. You're a solid man.
Thank you for showing character and integrity.....so rare today.

No lambasting from me, Mr. Rucker. I feel exactly as you do,

Amen, JD! Outstanding article and Kelleigh's comment below is awesome as well. We love you!
You are not wrong to follow your conscience
