1ºI noticed a different subject but I just want to let you know if you feel like your vote is not going to be counted in your state move to another state. It is hard it may be easy for me saying. But your rights are your rights. And people with that believe in you and you believe in yourself and your family. But if that's what they want to do that state will collapse 1 2 3 4 of you 100 of you or more they will go in foreclosure of trying to keep the state up. Taxes will go up in that state. Move to a better state that believe in you and yours and your rights and your vote will count. That's how you make a checkmate on them.
2ºCNN I was there because I had opening night ticket and found out when I landed in vegas that it was canceled. This wasn't as awesome as these press releases and videos make it out to be. Only a handful (2 or 3) got direct face time with her. The rest of us were pinned next to eachother in a mad rush infront of the venue to se her on facetime with someone holding up a phone. We got about $70 worth of free merch with a proof of ticket. We still have no additonal answers and are out of a lot of time and money through flights and hotels.

3ºDESCRIPTION OF THE BEAST
Verse 11. “And he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake like a dragon.” The horns are not explained in connection with this beast, but with an understanding of what has before been said on the subject of horns, we may be prepared to understand what the two lamb-like horns represent. TBUS 26.2
From those texts where the symbol has been used and explained, we learn that the two horns of the ram, [Daniel 8,] denoted the kings of Media and Persia. The great horn between the eyes of the goat denoted the first king of Grecia. This being broken, and four standing up for it, represents the kingdom divided into Macedon, Thrace, Syria, and Egypt, as ruled over by four of Alexander’s generals. The ten horns of the fourth beast, [Daniel 7:23, 25,] denoted the ten kingdoms into which the Roman Empire was to be divided. The little horn which came up after them, denoted the Papal church, to which Justinian gave power over the fourth beast by his decree. A horn, then, we find symbolizes a ruler either civil or ecclesiastical. The little horn [church of Rome] is called definitely a horn, before the three are plucked up and dominion given to it over the fourth beast. TBUS 26.3
No power previous to the two-horned beast, has been in prophecy symbolized by lamb-like horns. We shall claim that they symbolize two things: TBUS 27.1
1st. The youthfulness of the power. TBUS 27.2
2nd. Its mild profession. TBUS 27.3
On the youthfulness of the power we here remark, it is clearly implied in the language of verse 11. Why choose a lamb as the symbol in this prophecy? The answer to my mind is obvious. The power to which it applied had existed but a short time when introduced in the prophecy. We find it introduced in 1798, 22 years after the first acts toward establishing the United States as an independent government. If the power referred to in this prophecy was any of the foreign nations of long duration, would not a full grown beast, be a more fit symbol to bring before the mind? When Pagan Rome was introduced in prophecy B. C. 31, it was over 700 years old, and was symbolized by a “beast dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly.” TBUS 27.4
On the second point above, we remark: These two horns like a lamb cannot represent a despotic or Papal government, but true to the character of the symbol, they must represent a mild or innocent appearing power. The lamb is the symbol of innocence. TBUS 27.5
We shall call the two horns, Protestant ecclesiastical power, and Republican civil power. Where is a government to be found more lamb-like in its appearance than this our own nation, with its Republican and Protestant rulers? TBUS 27.6
Probably some are ready to object to the application above made of one of the horns of this power to Protestants, and urge that a horn is the symbol of civil power. We have already shown that the Catholic church is called a horn before it received the civil power of Rome, therefore a horn is not always an emblem of civil power. Both beasts preceding the two-horned beast were connected with religious bodies, and persecuted those who refused to receive their tenets. The two-horned beast being another link in the same chain is a similar power. In the end it makes an image to the first beast. If it makes an image to the first beast, then in the commencement of its career that image does not exist. At that point church and state stand as two, therefore we see the propriety of two horns on the beast. TBUS 28.1
As an index to the mild profession of Republicans mark the language of the Declaration of Independence of these United States: TBUS 28.2
“We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
4ºHere we have the mark of the beast. The very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, without any Scriptural authority of the proof of his power and authority, and the keeping of Sunday is an acknowledgment of the same. MBSG 14.8
Some have thought and reasoned like this: A day is a day-one is as good as another; and if I keep one day as I should, it makes no difference what day it is. Such reasoning is utterly fallacious. We ought to know that God requires obedience to his word. When God says, Keep the seventh day holy, it is for us to obey; and to keep no day at all would be better than to mock him with a substitute. If we are not willing to obey him, he would choose to have us make no pretensions of it. “I would thou wert either cold or hot.” Now when we see that the first-day sabbath is set up as a rival of the Sabbath of the Lord; that it was established by the man of sin, and is the mark of his name, or of his authority to change the law of God; none can fail to see that it makes a vast difference which day we keep. It is no wonder that the unmingled wrath of God is to be poured out upon those, who, knowing his will, choose in preference to obey the beast. MBSG 15.1
Reader, which will you choose? God is calling upon you to choose whether you will keep his commandments and receive his seal, or obey his rival, the beast and receive his mark. He is warning you of the awful consequences of the latter. The great day of his wrath is just before us, and we need a shield in that day. The destroying angel is about to pass through; the men with the slaughter weapons are about to smite; the four winds are about to be loosed; and nothing but God’s token, mark or seal, will cause the destroyer to pass over us. See Exodus 12:13; Ezekiel 9; Revelation 7:1-4. Already has the angel ascended from the east, having the seal of the living God. The sealing message-that of the third angel-is being proclaimed. The time has come for the fulfillment of the prophetic message of Isaiah 8:16. “Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.” The beast, the changer of times and laws, has broken God’s testimony, and it must be behind up: he has turn the seal (the Sabbath) from the law, and it must be restored; and while the angel with the seal of the living God passes through, the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads, while at the same time the seal is restored to the law among those servants or disciples. MBSG 15.2
O, heed the warning voice which God in his great mercy is sending forth. Forsake the commandments of the beast, and keep the commandments of God. Receive the seal of God in your forehead. Keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. And when the vials of wrath are poured out—when the earth is being desolated of its inhabitants, “because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant”—you will have a covering from the storm-a shelter beneath the wings of the Almighty-and finally, having got the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, you will stand with the Lamb upon the mount Zion, having his Father’s name written in your forehead, and join in the song of deliverance that none can learn but those that have stood amid the perils of these last days, have heeded the last solemn warning to mankind, and are “redeemed from the earth—“from among men”—being caught up to meet their descending Lord, to be forever with him. May God grant, dear reader, that this may be your happy lot and mine. And though we may never see each other’s faces here, may we sing together the new song in the kingdom of God!!!
