The Divided States of America


Like most of my fellow Americans, I watched President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address (SOTU) and was utterly disgusted at the Demoncrats!

State of Union: A president with big ideas confronts an opposition addicted to pandering protests

President Donald Trump on Tuesday night delivered his second term's first State of the Union address from the United States Capitol, presenting ideas to a nation that's heard nothing but protest, pandering, and platitudes from his political foes for the first 13 months of his term.

In one of the epic speeches of his career, Trump weaved for nearly two hours, cataloging his first-year successes alongside a celebration of everyday Americans’ extraordinary achievements and heroism.

On the other side of the aisle, the response appeared to be less ideas-driven and characteristically more oppose-everything-Trump.

Trump laid out a massive new agenda that included new federal matching payments for Americans' 401(k) retirement accounts and a path to a balanced budget and an income tax-free federal system while delivering a powerful and personal repudiation of what he sees as the insanity of Democratic ideas like sanctuary cities.

“You should be ashamed of yourself,” the president declared in one jibe at Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., one of the Democratic congressional lawmakers who did attend.

Democrats were reportedly instructed by minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., that they could either attend in silent defiance or boycott the historic address. Dozens chose to no-show.

Reactions, unforgettable moments from Trump’s record-breaking 2026 State of the Union address

WHAT TO KNOW
  • … Al Green, D-Texas, was escorted from the chamber after protesting Trump’s address and holding up a sign during the speech.
  • Trump greeted four Supreme Court justices at his address, including three who recently voted to strike down his emergency tariffs.
  • Democrats held five counter events Tuesday night in opposition to Trump’s speech.
  • Trump sparred with … Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., during his address after she interrupted and accused him of “killing Americans,” prompting him to respond, “You should be ashamed.”
  • Trump warned he would use military force if needed to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, while saying negotiations with Tehran remain ongoing. …
Diners interviewed by Steve Doocy at Doug's Place in Emerson, Georgia, on Wednesday described President Donald Trump's State of the Union address as “very touching.”

“Very emotional speech. It was awesome. I mean, it was very touching. All the people that he had there. True Americans,” one diner said.

“I appreciated what he said. I mean, we're being tough on crime, and that's what we need in our country right now,” added Georgia State Rep. Matthew Gambill, a Republican.

“It was awesome. It was just wonderful. I was so proud to watch my president up there last night and he was telling it like it is,” said another diner, Melanie Collier.

Indeed, all of the Democrats and anyone who supports that group “should be ashamed!” I personally sat and watched, with beaming pride, one of the greatest US presidents in my lifetime ── surely since President Ronald Reagan.

Sadly, what I witnessed was outright disrespect, vile, and utter division.

Again, I am reminded of the living words of our eternal Creator God ──

“ … ‘Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.’” – Revelation 12:12.

Long before U.S. President Abraham Lincoln gave his acceptance speech on June 16th, 1858, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ warned us ──

’ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25) And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.’ – Mark 3:24-25, see also Matthew 12:25 and Luke 11:17.

Notice that the LORD God inspired that important nugget of knowledge to be recorded for us three separate times.

The LORD God repeats something in His living word that He wants to emphasize greatly.

And DIVISION is NOT GOOD!

Though our beloved Apostle Paul was writing to our brethren regarding division within the Church of God, this grave warning can indeed be applied to a nation ── In his letter to the brethren in Rome, Paul issues a stern warning against those who cause division.

“Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.  - Romans 16:17.

Those who cause great division within Congress or the House chamber should be ostracized

Now, politicians certainly don’t have to agree on everything ── surely our Founding Fathers didn’t always agree on everything. Still, when the issue of illegal immigration came up in President Trump's SOTU address, there SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNITY!
“So tonight, I’m inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
The Demoncrats that were in the House chamber sat like a lump on a log scowling. 😢
“Isn’t that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself for not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself. That is why I’m also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials who block the removal of criminal aliens. In many cases, drug lords and murderers are all over our country. They’re blocking the removal of these people from our country. And you should be ashamed of yourself.” 1
Certainly, after our beloved President Donald Trump leaves office, what will happen to the United States of America, as well as our British-descended allies, will be far worse than anything that most people could ever imagine is possible!

Five reasons American decline appears irreversible
  1. Uncontrollable U.S. Debt.
  2. Invasion of Illegal and Unvetted Immigrants Not Willing to Assimilate.
  3. The Modern Democratic Party is Consumed with Hate (especially the Squad members).
  4. Loss of American Identity and Patriotism.
  5. The Rise of Socialism and Communism In America.
Instead of division, the United States of America needs to be united. And, as our LORD God tells us, love is the greatest of all ──

“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5) does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not [easily] provoked, THINKS NO EVIL; 6) does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4-6.

The very words of our Savior, the Savior, and eternal salvation is found in no other, Ilhan Omar ──

“ … ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul [life], and with all your mind.’ 38) This is the first and great commandment [the FIRST FOUR of the Ten Commandments! Exodus 20:3-8]. 39) And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’ [the LAST SIX of the Ten Commandments; Exodus 20:12-17].

’ But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28) bless those who curse you, pray for those who spitefully use you. 29) To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. 30) Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. 31) And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

32) But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33) And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34) And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. 35) But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. 36) Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.’ – Luke 6:27-36.

Yet, instead of true love – agapé love, godly love, we are witnessing towards the end of this present evil age, hatred and violence being whipped up! The other day, I was watching the Law&Crime Network on YouTube of police involved shootings, and it saddens me to come to the realization that so many of our major cities are now looking and sounding more like “third-world cities.”

Our Lord Jesus Christ has prophesied that there will be ‘troubles’ – Mark 13:8.

The terrible time of ‘Jacob’s Trouble’ is soon to come upon the modern nations of the children of Israel, also called by our Lord Jesus, a time of ‘great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be’ – Matthew 24:21-22.

Sadly, I do not agree with the president when he announced during the SOTU ──
“ … there has been a tremendous renewal in religion, faith, Christianity, and belief in God. … America is one nation under God.” 2
The United States of America is no longer “One Nation Under God.”

National repentance is the only thing that can stop it! But sadly, it doesn’t look likely. Personal repentance, to our great God of Israel and the Creator of all life, however, is still very possible! Your personal future can still be brighter than our own divided nation.

Let us all pray, ‘Thy Kingdom Come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven’! □
