Dont worry I plan to write a book about…[Read more]

I don’t remember ever making any claim as to any of my predictions being “God-given” ….I’m not sure if you were on TA but most of my moats made about Donald Trump winning the Presidency and HOW he would do it….were made while I still considered myself to be an atheist.

And no where on this thread did I say or even imply that…[Read more]
