All Trick, No Treat
![]()
Well, it's trick-or-treat time again, and we're also coming right up on election time in the United States—and every American knows what that means:
Forget about Halloween...now it's time for some real tricks!
It's become a virtual rite of passage for every American generation since the days of the Federalists. First off, let me emphasize that neither side is perfect: Candidates from both parties have made their share of mistakes and said their share of things they probably wish they hadn't.
But anyone who is paying any attention at all knows one thing for certain: The most insidious of those tricks are courtesy of the Democrats. Or the Democratic Socialists of America, or whatever they wish to be called these days (lately I've taken to calling them "Demoncrats" after I see the morning news).

DEC '17: A Missing Piece
Many who come up with creative theories about what happens when in the book of Revelation just might be missing a piece of the puzzle.
A Missing Piece
![]()
Few would disagree that the book of Revelation is one of the most puzzling and controversial books of the entire Bible. For nearly two millennia, legions of Bible scholars and teachers as well as ordinary believers have tried to sort out this dizzying array of symbols, characters, events, and cataclysmic waves of judgment that God pours out to purge Israel and judge a Christ-rejecting world.
As one might expect in the face of such a dizzying pageant of symbols, characters, events, and cataclysmic waves of judgment, there is an equally dizzying array of interpretive schemes that valiantly attempt to explain what it all means. These schemes evoke images of everything from literal asteroid strikes to allegorical fairy stories; from a horrifying future apocalypse to a historical fait accompli.
The problem, of course, is that God's Word doesn't afford us the luxury of accepting and entertaining myriads of interpretations. When people come along with unconventional theories and unorthodox scenarios, rather than just warmly embracing them in the name of tolerance, inclusion, and diversity, we have a biblical obligation to study them and do our utmost to rightly divide the Word and ultimately decide what's right and what's not in the light of what the Bible clearly teaches.

11/3/2026: 27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. [Regardless of the outcome of elections.]

11/3/2026: From the "No Peace and No Good" Department...
Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service is a virulently anti-Trump left-wing group that is funded by George Soros and that promoted the No Kings protests over the last two years. "Pace e bene" is an Italian expression for "peace and good," but now, on the eve of the U.S. midterms, they are issuing instructions for people to deal with the violence and unrest that they fear will ensue if the election results are "sabotaged" or "ignored."
Translation: That is, if the Democrats don't win.
Because if that occurs, you see, there may be protests and walkouts: "No work, no school, no shopping." So if the election results aren't what Pace e Bene desires, the aftermath won't exactly be "pace e bene."
According to information posted by Pace e Bene, the group is prepared to "stand with" people anywhere who feel their votes weren't counted properly, and will be ready to jump in:
"If any community calls for people to stand with them in making sure their votes count, we all need to be ready to take meaningful solidarity action."
Translation: Anywhere Democrats don't win, we will start riots.
The group has put out a four-page checklist instructing people how to effectively stock up on things such as food, water, medicines, fuel, in addition to plans on childcare and other items. The materials state that supporters can "resume normal lives" if elections proceed normally, but that people must be ready for escalation.
Translation: In places where Democrats win, everything should be fine.
I think the bottom line is that no matter what happens in regard to the results of the midterms, there will be anger and unrest. It is a known fact that the Democrats are attempting to put some of their tried-and-true cheating methods to work, and the Republicans are well aware of it and are taking measures to expose and thwart such efforts.
But no matter what happens, you can bet there will be a lot of angry, frustrated people in the U.S. after the midterms...on both sides of the political coin.
So all I can say is go vote, but keep your head on a swivel.
And may God bless and protect you and your family in the aftermath.
