I am thanking God and praising Him that He has planted someone in this world who will seek justice for wrongdoing, no matter on who's part! As a country, we have done MANY wrongs with impunity for a VERY, VERY LONG TIME...but be not deceived, God is not mocked. I believe He has withheld his judgment against the United States for so long because their are many true believers here, and I believe He will continue to show mercy because of those of us who do believe, but He is a just God,and this country has to pay the price for it's transgressions.
