​Since we are young, we are taught to use violence as an absolute last resort. But when being harassed, using violence tends to become more of a viable and acceptable option. That’s what happened this past week in Montana.
 
Recorded audio depicts Ben Jacobs, a reporter for the UK Guardian, attempting to interview Greg Gianforte on the Republican health care plan. The audio begins with Gianforte telling Jacobs “We’ll talk to you about that later” To which Jacobs replied with “Yeah, but there’s not going to be time, I was just curious.” Gianforte replies with “Ok, Speak with Shane please.” However, afterwards you can hear that Jacobs kept pressing the issue on Gianforte, and Gianforte ‘body-slammed’ him to the ground due to that, according to the media. Gianforte then claims that a previous reporter from the very same ‘news’ organization did the same thing, harassing him about the issue.
 
Now, let’s keep in mind, the media LOVES to spin things in the Left’s favor. The audio clip depicted Gianforte seemingly snapping on Jacobs for no good reason within the first 3 seconds. We don’t know what happened in the moments prior. Gianforte himself says that other reporters from the Guardian were provoking him the exact same way, so it’s understandable that he would feel frustrated with them. I mean, we all feel frustrated with the media and have been frustrated with them for a long time. This frustration didn’t start in the 2016 presidential election, either. This has been going on for a very long time.
 
This frustration, however, has only grown in the last couple of years. With the media reporting fake news and lying about every little detail of Trump’s campaign and administration so far, people not only have stopped believing the MSM, they’ve become frustrated with them for what they report. Gianforte is no different. Particularly if he himself is being harassed by an anti-Trump liberal “reporter”.
 
The official campaign statement on the matter says that Jacobs “entered the office without permission, aggressively shoved a recorder in Greg’s face, and began asking badgering questions… Jacobs was asked to leave… After asking Jacobs to lower the recorder, Jacobs declined. Greg then attempted to grab the phone that was pushed to his face. Jacobs grabbed Greg’s wrist, and spun away from Greg, pushing them both to the ground… It’s unfortunate that this aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist created this scene at our campaign volunteer BBQ”.
 
And the audio depicts most of those things happening. It depicts Jacobs being asked to leave and talk to campaign spokesman Shane Scanlon. It also depicts Jacobs declining to do so. The only thing that’s up in the air is whether Gianforte ‘body-slammed’ Jacobs during the altercation. The only reason being is that all we have depicting the incident is the audio-recording and eye-witness accounts from other members of the media (fake news media, including a Fox News reporter) and people in Gianforte’s campaign. And while the MSM news sources will stick to their own stories, the one Fox News reporter, Alicia Acuna changed hers. Initially, she believed to have seen Gianforte grab Jacobs by the neck, but now she says that, while she did see Gianforte’s hands go up, they may have been directed at Jacobs’ clothes.
 
So, when you think about it, that account supports the official campaign story that Gianforte tried to grab the phone. If Ms. Acuna only remembers seeing Gianforte’s hands go up, they could’ve been directed at Jacobs’ hands which held the phone the campaign report mentions, not his neck or clothes.
 
Now, regardless of what happened, whether Gianforte body-slammed Jacobs to the ground or they both fell down, I think this is a sign of strength. This shows that Gianforte isn’t someone you can just mess with. If Gianforte and Jacobs both fell to the ground, it shows Gianforte being strong enough to not let an arrogant socialist ‘reporter’ get away with harassing him and being annoying. 
 
And I’m not the only one who thinks that was a sign of strength either. I’ve heard multiple people call into the Rush Limbaugh show saying how Jacobs had it coming, and that Gianforte was simply standing up for himself. I’ll be honest, I thought much the same thing when I first heard the news of it and the audio soundbite. There’s only so much b.s. any person can take, especially from liberal news organizations and reporters harassing you if you’re conservative.
 
We must be able to stand up for ourselves when we are harassed by anyone. We can’t let them do whatever they want. Because we know that harassment comes from those who are and do evil. It comes from those who don’t believe other people have the same rights that they do. And so:
 
Ephesians 6:10-11:
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.”

In a previous article on the Manchester Terror Attack, I mentioned how I love it when the mainstream media publishes braindead stories. The reason being is that they are insanely funny to me when I read them. In this case, it’s a story written on FiveThirtyEight.com by Nate Silver on how Gianforte winning by 6 points is no reason for Republicans to celebrate.
 
A particular quote that simply brings a smile to my face, knowing just how ridiculously stupid it sounds: “… A night where Democrats are losing Montana by ‘only’ 6 or 7 points is consistent with the sort of map you might see if Democrats were either taking over the House (in 2018) or coming pretty close to it.” HAHAHA! Are you kidding me?! Their socialist cowboy loses by 6 points and they think this is ‘according to plan!?’ You simply can’t be serious! This is the equivalent of a basketball team being happy that they only lost by 10 points in a playoff game. “At least they didn’t get blown out.”, a fan would say.
 
Trust me, no basketball fan would be happy that their team lost by 10 points, even in a regular season game. And I have the feeling that, behind that fake wall of “we can still win in 2018”, there lies a scared soul that believes they simply won’t win in the midterm elections. I don’t even think this is desperation at this point. This simply might be genuine fear, masked by their smug character that thinks they still have a chance at retaking power in the government.
 
And why do I believe that? Because this further proves that they are wrong. They believe that Democrats are the preferred party. They believe Trump is hated and despised by anyone with a brain. They believe Russia hacked the election. They refuse to believe that their era of power is over. And this election is proof of it. Before the election, the Left was singing praise of the Democrat candidate Rob Quist. Much in the same way they did with Hillary. But now, Nate Silver writes “… Quist and Gianforte both have their issues as candidates…” He’s throwing their posterchild under the bus due to his loss!
 
The Left is absolutely terrified of believing that they might be wrong about everything. Trump isn’t hated. Montanans didn’t want a Democrat winning this special election. And Trump’s popularity isn’t down the drain.
 
Here’s yet another funny quote from Silver’s article that is bound to both make you laugh and think: “Quist winning by 1 or losing by 13 might’ve called for a recalibration of our assumptions (about how 2018 will go.); we don’t think this result (Gianforte’s 6 point victory) does.” In other words, had Quist won by 1 point or lost by 13, they might have to rethink their 2018 strategy. That is complete garbage. Had Quist won at all, it would’ve meant that everyone and their grandmother hated Donald Trump. The Democrats wouldn’t have rethought ANYTHING. If Quist had won by 1 point, it would’ve meant the beginning of a Democrat takeover of the House, followed by the Senate, followed by the White House, in their minds.
 
But this is yet another one of the Left’s endless stream of lies. If Quist had won, they would’ve celebrated as though their favorite team just won the Superbowl. But since he lost by a rather large margin, they have to pretend like this Republican victory means absolutely nothing, and that the Democrats are en route to a big victory in 2018.
 
In fact, this reminds me of one of the articles I wrote about the Georgia special election. On how the Democrat candidate didn’t quite clinch victory, but the Left pretended that he did. And the fact that he didn’t; the fact that he now only has one candidate to run against, and the fact that Quist lost in Montana terrifies the Left to the core. Georgia’s special election is less than a month from now, so we’ll have to wait ‘til then to see who wins. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the Left pretends it meant absolutely nothing if the Republican candidate wins.
 
They often hide themselves from the truth. And that’s because the truth hurts. Their entire lives revolve around one massive lie: that the vast majority of people love them. And when they are proven wrong, they have to pretend that they are still loved, even if it’s not quite as much as they previously thought. Or that the results were simply a fluke. Reality is far different, however. Most people no longer trust the media. Most people disliked Hillary as a candidate and by far preferred Trump over her. Most people in Montana didn’t want Quist as their congressman. And the most important point: Most people are not Leftists.
 
The Left must accept this truth if they ever hope to win again. (Which I hope they don’t)
 
John 8:32
“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

On May 25th, 2017, Montana will hold special elections for one of its congressional districts, due to the incumbent, Ryan Zinke resigning his post. This election will determine whether Republicans maintain a seat in Congress or whether Democrats gain one more. And make no mistake, the Left will make a mountain out of this molehill.
 
I’ve already talked about how they will make the Georgia special election to be a bigger deal than it really is. And they were really excited to see a Democrat win in that election, partly due to the state being largely Republican, but were disappointed when Jon Ossoff (said Democrat) failed to clinch the victory, leading to a run-off election occurring in July.
 
Much like in Georgia, the Left will make this election seem almost on par with the presidential election, saying that if the Democrats win, it’s a representation of what the country feels about Trump. (Though, it’s funny how when a Republican, or even Trump himself wins, it doesn’t mean anything, or it was just a fluke, or there was cheating involved.)
 
However, they fail to realize a very important point: TRUMP WON! And he wasn’t the only one who won in November of 2016. The Republican party managed to maintain control of Congress too! If one Democrat wins one election, it means next to nothing, at least in terms of what it will mean in the grand scheme of things Trump plans to do during his administration. But this is precisely why they want to make these elections seem like a bigger deal than they really are.
 
You may not remember this, but during the Obama administration there were well over 40 SPECIAL ELECTIONS taking place. And not a single one of those special elections would indicate whether Obama and his policies were the preferred option. The Mainstream media didn’t make anywhere as big a deal of those elections as they are of these. If a Democrat wins even one of these special elections, it means Trump is vastly hated throughout the nation and we all regret having voted for him.
 
But you see, this is the kind of deception the Left loves to employ on people. They wholeheartedly believe that the Democrat party is the more loved party and that leftist views are the more commonplace views in America. And whenever they are proved wrong; whenever their candidate loses and their views are rejected, it’s not because they weren’t the preferred option, it’s because someone cheated at some point. It’s because someone else sabotaged their candidate, such as Comey sabotaging Hillary, or Russia hacking the election, somehow.
 
I’ve said this before, largely because it’s true, but deception is one of the devil’s strongest weapons. Much like the serpent deceived Eve into eating from the forbidden tree so that she may be like God, the Left deceives people (or at least tries to) into believing that Trump’s approval rating is in the 30’s and that most Trump supporters regret ever having voted for him. In reality, the more the Left attacks Trump, the gladder we are to have voted for him. If he’s seen as this big of a threat to the Left, we must’ve elected the right guy. I can’t imagine them going at Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney with so much constant fervor. They wouldn’t want those two in the White House (neither would I), but I doubt either of them would cause so much trouble for the Left that they literally drive the Left insane (particularly knowing how much both of them wanted to work WITH AND FOR the Democrats, rather than work with them FOR US, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.)
 
But returning to my main point, the Left often uses one of Satan’s strongest weapons against their political enemies and on the people that voted for those enemies. It’s why I believe that the biggest reason to smear Trump isn’t to get rid of him (since doing that wouldn’t work), but rather to plant the seeds of corruption in anyone that may listen that either voted for Trump or wasn’t old enough to vote this last election, but will be for the rest. They aren’t trying to convince liberals that Trump is bad. They’d simply be preaching to the choir. They want to deceive YOU and convince YOU (the Trump voter, if applicable to you) that Trump is a dirtbag that will destroy the country. But like I said in the previous paragraph: the more they trash Trump, the more convinced we become that he is the right man for the job.
