(1622) Afternoon and soon to be evening, chaps and chapesses. Later (after dinner), some Brit and Canadian news here. That concludes posts for tonight, comments are, of course, open. (1922) (2134) There’s an extra item this evening. (2145)
25. To my mind, it was far more significant than it seemed
Been looking at the footage again of no hand on Bible and there are many who won’t like this because they’ve not looked at the eschatological aspects over the years … why would they? Similarly, comments by all and sundry on X really come to nothing … many partly right … e.g. Roberts rushing him before Melania could get there, the left pointing out … quite rightly for once imho … that he made no attempt to pause until Melania was ready, no attempt during it to place his hand there.
Melania dressed as if in mourning, the hat low over the near closed eyes … the invocation quoting Daniel, not a New Testament text … Ketuvim. Also see Bel and the Dragon . Which other religion, with Ivanka married to one, had a rabbi at the ceremony? Eric Trump’s Masonic hand signs?
Before you say this is obsession with symbolism … yes it is … their obsession … they are the ones who hide in plain sight. Trump refused to place his hand on the Christian bible, in a highly symbolic ceremony.
It’s not been a major thing at Unherdables, though I’ve obviously mentioned it before … those who are Jewish … and they who say they are but are not. I’ve not the farseeing ability to peek into the abomination of desolation, the significance of the temple mount, the one the Jews see as their possible Messiah. In Christian eschatology, this figure leads Israel to victory, then sells out or rather reveals himself.
I simply don’t know. Might mosey on over to Gab, which is far more apicalyptic at times, see if there’s anything over there about it.
24. Franklin Graham’s invocation
For the vast majority not Christian, it was a short speech invoking the power and protection of God for the coming administration. Can you imagine Chas3 doing anything remotely like that? For real?

23. The Unpardoned

Then I saw another unpardoned … Barry Soetoro or whatever name he uses.
