The Democratic National Convention (DNC) began last night.
CBS reported the following:
Michelle Obama implores Americans to “vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it”
August 18, 2020
Former first lady Michelle Obama delivered an impassioned speech at the first night of the Democratic National Convention, urging Americans who may have skipped the 2016 election to support Joe Biden in November. In her pre-recorded address, she spoke frankly about the challenges she sees facing the country, and the steep responsibilities a president faces. … “If you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can; and they will if we don’t make a change in this election. If we have any hope of ending this chaos, we have got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it,” Obama said. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/michelle-obama-speaks-at-democratic-convention-2020-joe-biden/
For Christians, our lives rely on God, not the result of USA elections.
That being said, Michelle Obama is right that things can get worse.
If Donald Trump is re-elected, certain things will get worse.
However, if Joe Biden is elected, certain things will get worse.
Without national repentance the USA is doomed–and relatively soon.
The Associated Press reported the following about the DNC convention:
Dems put divides aside, rally behind Biden at convention
August 18, 2020
There was no central meeting place or cheering throng during the all-virtual affair Monday night. But it was an opportunity for Democrats — and some Republicans — to rally behind Biden, the party’s presidential nominee. …
Bernie Sanders, the progressive Vermont senator who was Biden’s last standing rival during the primary, encouraged his loyal supporters to vote for the former vice president in November, arguing the nation can’t survive another four years of Trump. …
Monday’s speeches were framed by emotional appearances from average Americans touched by the crises that have exploded on Trump’s watch.
Philonise and Rodney Floyd led a moment of silence in honor of their brother, George Floyd, the Minnesota man whose death while in police custody sparked a national moment of awakening on racial injustice.
“George should be alive today,” Philonise Floyd said matter-of-factly.
Also speaking was Kristin Urquiza, an Arizona woman who lost her father to COVID-19, which has killed more than 170,000 people in the United States.
“My dad was a healthy 65-year-old,” she said. “His only preexisting condition was trusting Donald Trump, and for that, he paid with his life.” …
But 77 days before votes are counted, history is not on the Democratic challenger’s side. Just one incumbent president has been defeated in the last four decades.
Polls also suggest that Biden, a 77-year-old lifelong politician, is on the wrong end of an enthusiasm gap. His supporters consistently say they’re motivated more by opposition to Trump, who is 74, than excitement about Biden. Democrats hope to shift that dynamic beginning with the convention. …
The Monday speakers included plenty of Democratic politicians: Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, who is the highest ranking African American in Congress; New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; Alabama Sen. Doug Jones; Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and two former presidential contenders: Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Sanders. https://apnews.com/de0107b02c0373105b86d5c4d3d9a302
Yes, various Democratic politicians who a year ago tried to explain why Joe Biden was the wrong choice, last night tried to say why they felt he was the right choice to be President of the USA.
Having watched many speakers last night, I absolutely do not agree that the Democrats put division aside. Oh yes, they did rally around Joe Biden. But otherwise, engaged in attacks, race baiting, misleading information, and other tactics intended to get Joe Biden to win the election–the speakers I heard seemed to be pushing division.
They also claimed that Joe Biden and Kamela Harris stood for American values.
Well, abortion and pushing aspects of sexual immorality are not values Americans should have.
Though, sadly, more and more do.
By the way, this is NOT to excuse Donald Trump’s immorality.
Remember that whichever ticket is the lessor of two evils, the lessor of two evils is still evil.

DNC ‘Infomercial’ Night 1 Post-Mortem: Trump Mocks Michelle Obama’s “Snooze” Speech; Even Leftists Puzzled
August 18, 2020
“It was like watching an infomercial,” mocks Epoch Times’ Roger Simon as ne reflected on last night’s first two-hour segment of this week’s ‘Virtual’ Democratic Convention.
Most of the quotes were variations on the theme of the aforementioned Orange Man Bad.
Only the most devoted, those already convinced, would want to watch this for four nights or even one to the end. It was weirdly disembodied, preaching to a choir without applause or even an amen.
The night was ‘diverse’ for sure, signaling the “wide net” Biden’s campaign is hoping to narrate. …
As runner-up, Sanders got his own time slot Monday night. He followed a video montage of more than a dozen other Democratic primary contenders introduced by Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar. They all offered praise of Biden. …
And finally, there was Michelle Obama speech, which, as Summit News’ Steve Watson details below, was mocked by President Trump, who noted that it was pre-taped and extremely boring.
“These are all taped speeches. Michelle Obama, her speech was taped,” Trump said during a campaign speech at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport.
“You want to go to a snooze?” Trump quipped, adding “You know when you hear a speech is taped, it’s like there’s nothing very exciting about it, right?”
The President also noted that taping a speech isn’t very impressive, stating “I’ll tape my speech, next week … I’ll make sure it’s perfecto, every word will be perfect.” …
Former Democrat presidential candidate Marianne Williamson compared watching the speeches to “binge watching a Marriott commercial” …
However, as painful to watch as it may have been, we don’t expect the GOP convention to be much better. Virtual is virtual and, as most online students can tell you, it’s a bore and a chore and doesn’t add up too much. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/dnc-infomercial-night-1-post-mortem-trump-mocks-michelle-obamas-snooze-speech-even
By the way, I agree that the DNC looked like an infomercial. Because of how both conventions are being handled this year, the RNC one may as well.
Neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump are what the USA needs.
The USA needs the Kingdom of God.
Related to the 2020 campaign, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Various politicians have announced their intentions to run for the office of the President of the United States in 2020. ‘Politico’ ran an article about the ‘sorry state’ of various candidates. Some candidates have felt the need to apologize for previous statements in support of biblical marriage and the need to endorse items of the LGBTQ agenda. Many also support abortion and other anti-biblical actions. Are these ‘American values’? Should the English language be changed to eliminate male/female and singular pronouns? Does the Bible warn about female leaders? Does the Bible warn about leaders that lead people to err? What about condoning sexual immortality? Do the presidential contenders fit prophecies warned about in 2 Timothy 3:1-5? These are some of the subjects that Dr. Thiel addresses.
Here is a link to the sermonette video: Sorry state of the 2020 presidential campaign.
