The issues need to be clarified or at least addressed. Trump was hacked because this administration is STILL trying to destroy him. Pakistan wiped out who they wanted BUT Sunni and Shite etc

Okay a briefing on the stats: Trump got hacked and the culprit has to be named. Pakistan is getting a thumbs up but shouldn’t be. The British are holding back arms for a reason. These are issues etc

Those around the world who are against Israel obviously don’t know the Bible, the word, the sword of the spirit. They know not what they do. God’s judgement is coming. I’m sorry for them.
[Anonymous] 09:32 11.08.2024
Today it’s the way around.. GOD bless Israel 🇮🇱.. who will reign forever in and through out the world 🌍.
