It’s as if it never happened. This is just another aspect of the tsunami of bull***t that is the major media …

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
