UNANSWERED PRAYERS

Garth Brooks sang at the Biden inauguration. A huge mistake that has the potential to tank his career. Perhaps I am wrong, but I suspect a lot of country music fans are Trump supporters and they will not find this amusing.

But Garth has a song” Unanswered Prayers” that may be appropriate for people to remember today:

Just the other night at a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them, the past came back to me
And I couldn’t help but think of the way things used to be

[Verse 2]
She was the one that I’d wanted for all times
And each night I’d spend prayin’ that God would make her mine
And if He’d only grant me this wish I wished back then
I’d never ask for anything again

[Chorus]
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you’re talkin’ to the man upstairs
And just because He doesn’t answer doesn’t mean He don’t care
Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

[Verse 3]
She wasn’t quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me, in her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days, there wasn’t much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what He’s doin’, after all

[Bridge]
And as she walked away, well, I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good Lord, for the gifts in my life

In some ways, we may look back on the 2020 election the same way. A lot of people are really upset that the 2020 election was stolen, and the nation has to endure Joe Biden as President. That is very understandable. I feel the same way. But perhaps we should look at what would have happened if that election had been overturned. The MSM have been even more determined to destroy Donald Trump, if that is even possible. They would have been joined by RINO Republicans like Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney. With this kind of support, Democrats might have passed more of their agenda than they can pass now, because Republicans would have likely compromised with them.

We can be certain that Nancy Pelosi would have found another reason to impeach Trump. We can be sure out of control Democratic prosecutors would have continued to pursue him. He would have been the lamest duck president ever and Republicans eyeing the 2024 election would have been gearing up to take him down.

He would have inherited the same financial mess and the same COVID pandemic, only it would have been worse for him, because Democratic governors wouldn’t be trying to open their states back up. They would be too busy blaming everything on Donald Trump. While I don’t expect Biden to do much, heck, I don’t expect Biden to do anything, Trump might have been in for a really miserable ride.

But now, the Democrats have exposed themselves for everyone to see.  Soon it will be obvious that the election was actually stolen. At least some of the lawsuits will be continued now that it is too late to overturn the election. Even the MSM may be embarrassed into asking some questions. No one will be happy that Joe Biden is President of the United States. And if he is replaced by Kamala Harris it will be even worse.

Democrats didn’t actually win the 2020 election, they lost big time. The only thing they got was Joe Biden and they are already regretting that. Joe is just senile enough to have missed something important. Democrats routinely promise wild and crazy things to their liberal base, but they aren’t actually stupid enough to keep those promises. They just keep the status quo and blame Republicans. Joe, on the other hand, is blindly signing executive orders he probably doesn’t understand that are wildly unpopular, even among Democrats.

Now, thanks to Joe, Republicans are united and gearing up for 2022. All they need do to run the table in 2022 is keep chanting: “Joe, Joe, He’s your man.” They can blame everything on Joe and Democrats in general. In the meantime, no one wants a repeat of the 2020 election, so democratic dreams of repeating this scheme nationwide are DOA.

So, remember this, and perhaps risk a slight smile. It is quite possible that Democrats won nothing more than the chance to prove they are hopelessly incapable of governing responsibly. Socialists in other democratic countries have done this before. They gain power, only to be thrown out completely at the next election. Always remember that the temporary occupant of the Oval office, is by definition, temporary.

Sometimes, it is wise to trust in God, because there are definitely times to thank God for unanswered prayers. I mean Jimmy (Drive 55) Carter brought us Ronald Reagan.

And just because He doesn’t answer doesn’t mean He don’t care
Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
