Here in the UK churches we are being called to pray for your nation as you vote as the result is certainly going to affect the world politics for possibly generations to come .
Prayers for our country and all of us in the days and weeks ahead. Prayers for all of our children and grandchildren and the world we will leave them.🇺🇸
I agree with you 100% Dominique. It’s very disappointing to see the downward turn this country has taken. We need to be a United nation. “United we stand, divided we fall.” God bless America🇺🇸
This is reallllly dating me, but I have a degree in journalism and when I was in school, we were taught that true journalism reports the facts, without inserting an opinion in the slightest way. Boy have times changed. It’s wonderful that you spoke up Dominique.
@@sayuriisme9728 The celebrities getting in the middle of all this too! Doesn’t matter which side they’re on, just need to keep their mouth shut. One singer gave her input out there to the young people that follow her, can you guess without thinking how they will vote. One of the reasons I like Dominque, she is right down the middle.
I pray for the time when we become kind and considerate and respectful again to each other. I miss the simpler, days without the internet. LOVE and adore you and your channel! I am here to support you. God Bless.❤😊
God Bless you Dominique for speaking out! I am almost 70 years of age( and love your channel) and very discouraged of how rude people act. I have never seen such a split in our country and political scene. I dont watch the news anymore because you cant get a straight story of just the facts! There is a story on both sides. I worry about our country and what we are teaching our children by example!
You have chosen your words so carefully, beautifully as to not offend anyone while still maintaining your belief system. So many others on tv and other forums don’t seem to have your class. They speak often in negative terms without any care or concern. Thank you. God Bless you.
I love you Dominque and I'm in total agreement with you. Thank you for making a safe place for us to watch. I really appreciate your testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my rock and all things are possible through him. God bless you!
I am from Ireland , it is so good to listen to a good honest descent person and I cannot understand why people can't just have respect for each other. I look forward watching you when I can thank you so much for all your content whatever it may be about and please keep enjoying what you do you bring hope encouragement and joy to an awful lot of people. Thank you so much for that.
As a Canadian and I many are the outcome of the situation in the US. We are hoping and praying that all will be safe not only at home but also abroad. God Bless 🙏🙏❤❤
As always I appreciate your words. I’m 64 and am having so much anxiety over this election and our current country’s state. I don’t dislike anyone for their beliefs even if they don’t align with mine. I value and appreciate our community here that you have made. It is a safe space for my sanity at this time. Thank you for all you do and for this community. God Bless 🥰
I appreciate you, your rawness and integrity in this time of out of control emotional chaos. 40 years of trauma nursing has given me the opportunity to show grace and kindness to the most despicable people imaginable. But it has made me a better person.
You are spot on. My favorite question to ask myself in any troubled situation, “What would Jesus Do”. I feel that politics can destroy families and friends. I don’t put anything out there on who I would vote for unless it’s someone who agrees with me and we discuss it privately. I have family members that are on the opposite side of me, so it’s rarely talked about and I respect their views. I would never lose a friend or family member because we think differently……PS. Dominique, I listen to your husbands devotional daily video. It’s wonderful.
God have mercy on our country and for the future of our children❤ Thanks Dominique for this reflection God give us peace on our decisions for these elections 🙏
Thank you! I’m 67 years old, never have I seen anything like this in our political society. The hatred I see and hear is overwhelming, it can’t continue. I truly believe in everything you just said, and we shall see.
@@debiwillis9045 We live in Arizona, a swing state. Both parties are here constantly! Like you, can’t watch the news. But, the ads are on continuously, one after another. Even when you’re watching a sports channel! Good luck to us both.
I am so happy to hear that you are a true reporter and not an opinion reporter and will not cave to all the keyboard warriors. I rather not know what your personal stance is on politics. Stay true to who you are. Love Ya!
May God truly bless you. I respect your honesty and love to all of us. All people should truly pray and give God all glory and praise. Trust God to do what needs to be done with his mighty love for us.❤❤❤❤
Thank you Dominique. God is still on the throne - no matter what happens in the election. He has the master plan - He knows our beginning from our end. How about we all have the right to our opinion. I love people that don’t agree with my opinion, but those people don’t always love me back - because of my opinion, which I would never push on them. If we all gave others grace to have a different opinion we would all live better together.❤
Dr Phil showed us who he is once and for all and I believe him! There was so much filth at that rally he spoke at. Everyone has a choice who they associate with.

First: Dominique, I love your channel and have been a subscriber for a few years now. I particularly enjoy the makeup and fashion videos 😊 I agree with a lot of what you said in the video; however, when it comes to people keeping their political views to themselves / allowing for differences of opinion - it depends on what we’re talking about. If it’s fiscal policy or taxes, etc, that’s one thing, but some of the hot topics right now affect families and people’s basic rights. I’m a married gay man with 2 adopted children; one black and 1 Asian baby, and I can tell you that it’s very hard to stand back and not speak up when a coworker or neighbor publicly supports things that could tear apart my family or make life more difficult for my children. People can’t say that they love and support you if they are actively pursuing policies and/or politicians that will harm you. Love to all ❤
@@kimim2702you're a perfect example of the problem. People like you have to shove their politics into every conversation, and thanks to the internet, you think you have the world as your audience. Here's a news flash : nobody really cares what you think. Same goes for me but at least I keep my opinions to myself.
@@kimim2702People putting politicians on a pedestal is a huge part of the problem. People need to just vote for who they choose without expecting everyone to think the exact same way they do. The same with religion. This world is made up of billions of people, which means billions of opinions and points of view. Treating celebrities and politicians as if they are "above" us as well as ridiculing people who don't agree with our own opinions is not the hallmark of an intelligent society.
@@elisaastorino2881 I’m pointing out the blatant hypocrisy. What Dominique described is someone like Kamala Harris and not in any way like her opponent, who so many so-called Christians support for some mysterious reason. He is nothing like Jesus.

For as many people that leave your channel, all the more new people you'll get!! Don't let him get you down. You're the best. Let them go. If they leave your channel for something like that then they are not worth having!!
Hello Dominique I' m 60 years old, and I live in Germany. I 'm a Grandmother of a beautiful 4 year old boy. I hope and pray for freedom and more respect. My country is eagerly watching what happens on November 5th. In my country too, society is becoming more and more diveded. That scares me very much. Love your channel! Best regards❤
Bravo!! I am so thankful to hear a professional journalist who does not push their agenda. If I watch the news and can tell who the journalist voted for, I think that is the height of unprofessionalism. You are a wonderful example of how a journalist ought to communicate in their job. ❤ Blessings to you, Dominique. ❤
As much as social media has given us kindhearted people like you who are trying to keep us happy and well informed, it has also pushed us into many negative things. I have never seen people so hateful since I came to this country of hope and opportunity. I shared my stories with coworkers who were ignorant (not their fault) and they listened with empathy. I do not recognize this country anymore. As you said, I also told someone very close to go do something about their opinion if they are so passionate about it. However, I do have hope as there is no other country in this world that can rise from the ashes, maybe a strong phrase, so let me say “heal itself”. Love to all in this platform as that is all I have to offer 🤗
Thank you for this message and I totally agree with you. I wish we could go back to the time when people didn't pick their friends because of their political beliefs. I'm afraid of the direction this country and world are heading to.
You are always a beautiful person inside and out.I live in Oklahoma. I heard of you when you first hit the airwaves. I was so happy when you started on UA-cam so I could see you too. ❤I see how the Lord has blessed you( and your new hubby now). Being faithful to our Lord is the only way to live. You show that daily! I am proud to say I'm a Christian. But showing it is so much more important. That is what you do sister! Thank you for what you say and live out loud daily 🙏 ❤🎉
Thank you, Dom! You keep being you, that's why we're all here. So many folks come from a place of lack. Maybe they can try coming from a place of abundance. Start with kindness. ❤
When I was a tiny girl, I would sit with my dad when he watched the great Walter Cronkite on the evening news. He even took me in the voting booth with him when it was actually a booth with curtains that closed. I remember asking Daddy who he thought Walter Cronkite voted for. He replied “we will never know because journalists never reveal their personal opinions”. I applaud you, Dominique.
Cronkite was tied to organizations that promoted a one world government. Definitely not a patriot, so had reasons to hide. Feel free to research and fact check me. But I do appreciate the positive intent of your message. 💕 😊
Wow. Really wow. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your thoughts, insights, convictions and encouragement from a place of belief, strength and integrity. You encourage us to „risk“ being kind to others. How did we get to this place? When I read the heading “We need to talk…”, I thought, oh gosh, we’re in trouble.🫢 But we actually are, aren’t we, as a society. Let’s talk about these things with people around us and revisit how we want to be with eachother… with kindness, respect, and decency.
So perfectly executed, Dominique. One's political views are best to be kept confidential in today's "cancel" society. Kudos to you for choosing to be private about this topic. Well done!!!!
Cancel culture has gotten out of hand. I have friends that have started avoiding me because of my political views or my views on the actual issues facing our country. I still love them, and I avoid bringing up those issues around them, but I do not back down from my own beliefs when they question me. Why do I have to agree with everyone on every topic? What happened to live and let live? Thank you for this video!!!
I love you and your political beliefs are not my business! I’ve followed you for many years and you remain unchanged and steadfast, this is why I follow you. You’re fair in all responses. ❤
Dominique, I echo your sentiment and applaud you for this video. I have closed my Facebook, don't go on Instagram, and finally dumped my local Next Door app for all the negativity. I had often replied to the nasty commentors, stating that they are the bullies raising the young bullies!!! So sad, they won't listen, they don't seem to care.
I am so grateful for your words today. You spoke exactly as I feel about what is being said today on the media. If this is what the world has come to I am fearful of the future for our children. I am so glad I have a strong faith base which gets me through tough times like these. I love listening to you and your husband and tune in to his videos and your podcasts and Thursday's video. You asked for suggestions for your podcasts and I would love it if you had your husband on and spoke about your faith and your outlook of life.
God bless you Dominique. Thank you for speaking up. I love your platform and the content you share with us. I cannot watch any of the news channels and that is very sad. Please keep doing what you are doing. We need more people like you.♥️🥰
Dominique, I hope folks take your words to heart. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, choices, perspectives but we also have to remember that we are all human beings that are also entitled to respect. It’s ok to disagree but it’s not ok to disrespect and bully people for what they believe. Thanks for your words today.
Thank you. I believe we are in the midst of another Civil War - a cold war, but a war nonetheless. It's gotten so that I can no longer discuss many things with certain family members and even some of my very best friends. Even though I work at a religious university, I don't dare say anything that might be construed as controversial.This toxic atmosphere made me give up Facebook after the last election. haven't watched the news in years because it's nothing but propaganda. Extremely sad, but if God pulled our republic through the bloodiest conflict in its history, he will help us now if we maintain our faith in Him.
Thank you for sharing this. It astounds me that all my friends and I are so afraid of this election and the aftermath. I remember when there was respect for others opinions without having to worry about violence surrounding elections. So sad for USA. I too worry about what’s to become of our future and our children’s future. We can only pray.
Thank you! We have lost our respect & balance. Our journalists should be delivering the news not their opinions. Our leaders should not be giving their opinions or belittling the opposition. Sadly it is happening in my country on the other side of the world. You are an amazing woman, I thank God for you 🙏🏻💞
As always, SO ELOQUENT, gracious, respectful, and kind in your response to the dividing lines of current times. Thank you for creating and maintaining safe space for those who desire to uphold truth, righteousness and integrity in a world that desperately needs to know what that looks like. Many blessings for many more years 🙏🏼
I really respect that you remain neutral ❤️. I remember watching Joan Lunden & Charlie Gibson on Good Morning America on ABC back in the day, and I always enjoyed the show because we did not know their political beliefs and they had fun. I also enjoy watching you & Fanchon & crew during the week for these same reasons. God Bless 🙏
It is like the Bible says, you reap what you sow. If you sow hate, you reap hate, if you sow love and kindness, you reap love and kindness. Anybody that wants a change just go vote. I saw where there was a poll of believers and 48% said they were not going to vote. To me those people are part of the problem. It is our duty as Christians to vote for the person who actions are more aligned with the Bible and what God says. Lord help our Country.
Dearest D I am shocked at the times we are going through at 83 years of age. I am a Christian with moral beliefs and cringe at what is going on not just in politics. I worked in public education for 40 years and have 3 grown grandchildren and their wonderful parents. I fear for their future. I have truly made myself sick following the daily news. I am done with that and put it all in God’s hands. God bless each of us in the future of America! It is the home of the free and the brave. With love from Michigan.
Agree! So many people on & off social media want to lead others to their opinions instead of actually doing the work & taking the responsibility of making that change happen. Appreciate you, Dominique ❤
I am so happy that you have spoken your piece and shared what REAL NEWS should look like, because like you said everyone has their own opinion, the news should be THE NEWS and nothing more…that is true journalism like you said… AND also true that ADULTS THAT ARE BULLIES MAKE BULLIES OF THEIR CHILDREN! You are a BEAUTIFUL person, if not I would not be following you for years! God bless you Dominique! ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
I have been following you for about 10 years . Your channel has been an inspiration for many. Todays video just hit the spot. How the words you spoke about true journalism, God and everything in between was so meaningful.
I’m someone who considers both sides, and it deeply saddens me to see what’s happening in this incredible country-a country that gave my parents the opportunity to build a better life for us. Dominique, the way you’ve expressed yourself in this video is inspiring; it truly shows the wonderful person you are. My boyfriend and I don’t see eye to eye on politics, but we respect each other’s beliefs. My mother has eight siblings, and although they all have different perspectives-whether on religion, civil issues, or politics-they were taught by my grandmother to respect each other, regardless of their differences. I have four kids-two are Democrats, and two are diehard Republicans. I love them all equally, and they love each other just as much. Sure, they sometimes argue about politics, but at the end of the day, they’re siblings. The love and respect I taught them will always be there. In the end, I choose love, and I’ve always taught my kids to choose love as well.
I am also praying for our country. It saddens me all the rudeness and hatred that we see everyday and not just with politics. We all deserve respect and not to be judged by others. ❤️
This is on a sign outside a church near me: “ Gods plan will not be distracted by the chaos” I have to keep saying this to myself as we live through a critical time in our nation. Keep the faith!!
These comments! A breath of fresh air. You’ve cultivated a respectful, smart, and kind audience, Dominique. Regardless of political stance, this respect is what we all need to enact and expect. ❤🙏🏽
Well put, thank you Dominique! I am so much more aware of the facts through Merit Street Media and because of the times we live in, thats at times quite disturbing. Some may lash out rather than take a hard look at hold fast opinions vs. facts. You are appreciated Dominique!
Thank you Dominique for your beautiful conversation. In this life of complicated views and opinions, it's truly comforting to hear your sound statements of reason. I so look up to you!!
Thank you Dominque for your very eloquent and clear message. You are 100% on point with your comments! I smile and thank God for your openness about your belief in Him and His strong guidance in your life. The fruit of the Spirit is shining brightly through you.❤️
Dominique, you handled this with wisdom, professionalism and class. It is way too easy these days to be a keyboard warrior/troll, or to type opinions on everything online. Also, I believe there are way too many lonely, isolated people in this world, who view your videos, as well as other platforms, and think they "know" you and have a right to spew out their vitriol. Anyone who has unsubscribed or unfollowed you will likely come back in time. You have helped me (and many, many other women) over the years, with such a variety of things like health and emotional wellness, and not just the fun stuff of make-up and fashion. You are an amazing woman, and I wish you every good thing in life. God bless you. 🙏🙏💛💛🙏🙏
I love you, Dominique. It's all about having integrity. Either you have it or you don't. Our society is lacking. We need more people like you!!! This world would be a better place.
The country is divided, cut in half. I have decided who is responsible for this division, but as Dominique says, I share my ideas with my inner circle. I don't have to impose it on Dominique or her followers here; much less, God forbids, from thinking that I have the right to shout, insult or in any other way attack another person who does not think like me. To silence us, they have made us believe that there are certain topics that cannot be talked about (i.e. politics, religion) and to endorse their ideas, it is "them" who insult, shout and attack. It is a regrettable state of affairs, but as things are, let us meet in places like this; watching and listening to something that encourages us, that lifts us up, that teaches us. Thank you Dominic. Thanks to your followers. Cheers everyone. Finally but most importantly: Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith!
If you are speaking about specific incidences, then be specific. I tuned in to hear your message but without being more specific, I don’t see the need to involve everyone. The ones you are targeting are probably not listening. We are your loyal friends!
Thank you, Dominique. As a professor, I do my best to keep my opinions to myself in front of my students. When I was a college student, I had one professor who hammered us that we must agree with his political views, which I did not (and never have). It is fine to express one's views with someone of equal power, if that person has expressed a desire to discuss. But it is never acceptable to bully. Part of maturity is behaving appropriately with those you may affect. BTW, Dr Phil is fully entitled to speak in any environment he chooses. People can choose to hear or not to hear, whatever suits their preferences. Also, BTW, I have received nasty comments for posting positive comments to a YT presenter (not even political). Completely uncalled for. Fellow viewers, please just ignore my comments if you don't like them. Goodness!
You are absolutely correct. If you live in Massachusetts and you attend college there are professors who will fail students if they don’t agree with their political views. This is insanity given that we are paying for our children’s education. I am so happy to read your comments.
Dominique, you are such an inspiration and I am learning and benefitting so much from you. Please keep going. I agree with what you’ve said here in this video. I feel like you are doing your part in bringing positivity into the world based on what you can influence with all your beautiful gifts, strengths and opportunities. And we all should do our part as that is how we contribute to a better world in whatever small ways we can. Be bold and be blessed everyone. ❤️ Thank you Dominique from the bottom of my heart.
Amen, that’s the plan … to stir hearts and divide, sadly. I’m with you. It’s tough! God Unite our hearts for one another. Bring Justice and peace I pray 🙏
Now with social media there is something called "my truth'. The truth, to me, is the facts. The rest is how it effects you. Somewhere along the line, things have tilted sideways. Thank you Dominique for speaking up. I appreciate you!
Amen Sister! You speak it! I know you wouldn’t drop us as viewers if we differed in opinion from you. So, should should someone drop you because your opinion may differ from them. We are all different and that’s the beauty that unfortunately in today’s society is not being celebrated but attacked!
Well said, Dominique. I am continually shocked at the lack of journalistic integrity in the media now. Integrity is everything in all professions but particularly in professions that have so much influence in our society.
So loved your message so thankful for your spirituality. I think that’s one of the best things about your platform. Sending love to you and Courtney❤❤❤

Well said! God bless you and God bless our country! ♥️🇺🇸
Your message articulated what many of us feel. Thank you!
Thank you for your kindness, graciousness and keeping politics out of your platform! You are a breath of fresh air!
Bravo!! I am so thankful to hear a professional journalist who does not push their agenda. If I watch the news and can tell who the journalist voted for, I think that is the height of unprofessionalism. You are a wonderful example of how a journalist ought to communicate in their job. ❤ Blessings to you, Dominique. ❤
As much as social media has given us kindhearted people like you who are trying to keep us happy and well informed, it has also pushed us into many negative things. I have never seen people so hateful since I came to this country of hope and opportunity. I shared my stories with coworkers who were ignorant (not their fault) and they listened with empathy. I do not recognize this country anymore. As you said, I also told someone very close to go do something about their opinion if they are so passionate about it. However, I do have hope as there is no other country in this world that can rise from the ashes, maybe a strong phrase, so let me say “heal itself”. Love to all in this platform as that is all I have to offer 🤗
Thanks Dominique. It would be wonderful if we could all live our lives so it is pleasing to the Lord. God bless.
Thank you for this message and I totally agree with you. I wish we could go back to the time when people didn't pick their friends because of their political beliefs. I'm afraid of the direction this country and world are heading to.
You are always a beautiful person inside and out.I live in Oklahoma. I heard of you when you first hit the airwaves. I was so happy when you started on UA-cam so I could see you too. ❤I see how the Lord has blessed you( and your new hubby now). Being faithful to our Lord is the only way to live. You show that daily! I am proud to say I'm a Christian. But showing it is so much more important. That is what you do sister! Thank you for what you say and live out loud daily 🙏 ❤🎉
Thank you, Dom! You keep being you, that's why we're all here. So many folks come from a place of lack. Maybe they can try coming from a place of abundance. Start with kindness. ❤
When I was a tiny girl, I would sit with my dad when he watched the great Walter Cronkite on the evening news. He even took me in the voting booth with him when it was actually a booth with curtains that closed. I remember asking Daddy who he thought Walter Cronkite voted for. He replied “we will never know because journalists never reveal their personal opinions”. I applaud you, Dominique.
I grew up in those days too. My parents never had to worry about us listening to the news for fear of what we might hear.
Cronkite was tied to organizations that promoted a one world government. Definitely not a patriot, so had reasons to hide. Feel free to research and fact check me. But I do appreciate the positive intent of your message. 💕 😊
Thank you. I guess that's how I found you & your channel, someone with integrity. I'm sorry to say it's hard to find anymore & that does sadden me.
Wow. Really wow. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your thoughts, insights, convictions and encouragement from a place of belief, strength and integrity. You encourage us to „risk“ being kind to others. How did we get to this place? When I read the heading “We need to talk…”, I thought, oh gosh, we’re in trouble.🫢 But we actually are, aren’t we, as a society. Let’s talk about these things with people around us and revisit how we want to be with eachother… with kindness, respect, and decency.
Dominique, THANK YOU. I wish there were more people in journalism like you. Thank you for your insight and wonderful content. God bless.
So perfectly executed, Dominique. One's political views are best to be kept confidential in today's "cancel" society. Kudos to you for choosing to be private about this topic. Well done!!!!
Amen, Dominique. Thank you for standing up and speaking the truth. ❤
Cancel culture has gotten out of hand. I have friends that have started avoiding me because of my political views or my views on the actual issues facing our country. I still love them, and I avoid bringing up those issues around them, but I do not back down from my own beliefs when they question me. Why do I have to agree with everyone on every topic? What happened to live and let live? Thank you for this video!!!
I love you and your political beliefs are not my business! I’ve followed you for many years and you remain unchanged and steadfast, this is why I follow you. You’re fair in all responses. ❤
Thank you for saying so eloquently what my heart has been feeling for so long. You have a wonderful platform and that’s why I choose to be here.
Dominique, I echo your sentiment and applaud you for this video. I have closed my Facebook, don't go on Instagram, and finally dumped my local Next Door app for all the negativity. I had often replied to the nasty commentors, stating that they are the bullies raising the young bullies!!! So sad, they won't listen, they don't seem to care.
I am so grateful for your words today. You spoke exactly as I feel about what is being said today on the media. If this is what the world has come to I am fearful of the future for our children. I am so glad I have a strong faith base which gets me through tough times like these. I love listening to you and your husband and tune in to his videos
and your podcasts and Thursday's video. You asked for suggestions for your podcasts and I would love it if you had your husband on and spoke about your faith and your outlook of life.
God bless you Dominique. Thank you for speaking up. I love your platform and the content you share with us.
I cannot watch any of the news channels and that is very sad. Please keep doing what you are doing. We need more people like you.♥️🥰
Dominique, I hope folks take your words to heart. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, choices, perspectives but we also have to remember that we are all human beings that are also entitled to respect. It’s ok to disagree but it’s not ok to disrespect and bully people for what they believe. Thanks for your words today.
Yeah, like the folks from January 6th!
Thank you. I believe we are in the midst of another Civil War - a cold war, but a war nonetheless. It's gotten so that I can no longer discuss many things with certain family members and even some of my very best friends. Even though I work at a religious university, I don't dare say anything that might be construed as controversial.This toxic atmosphere made me give up Facebook after the last election. haven't watched the news in years because it's nothing but propaganda. Extremely sad, but if God pulled our republic through the bloodiest conflict in its history, he will help us now if we maintain our faith in Him.
Thank you for sharing this. It astounds me that all my friends and I are so afraid of this election and the aftermath. I remember when there was respect for others opinions without having to worry about violence surrounding elections. So sad for USA. I too worry about what’s to become of our future and our children’s future. We can only pray.
Thank you! We have lost our respect & balance. Our journalists should be delivering the news not their opinions. Our leaders should not be giving their opinions or belittling the opposition. Sadly it is happening in my country on the other side of the world. You are an amazing woman, I thank God for you 🙏🏻💞
As always, SO ELOQUENT, gracious, respectful, and kind in your response to the dividing lines of current times. Thank you for creating and maintaining safe space for those who desire to uphold truth, righteousness and integrity in a world that desperately needs to know what that looks like. Many blessings for many more years 🙏🏼
I really respect that you remain neutral ❤️. I remember watching Joan Lunden & Charlie Gibson on Good Morning America on ABC back in the day, and I always enjoyed the show because we did not know their political beliefs and they had fun. I also enjoy watching you & Fanchon & crew during the week for these same reasons. God Bless 🙏
It is like the Bible says, you reap what you sow. If you sow hate, you reap hate, if you sow love and kindness, you reap love and kindness. Anybody that wants a change just go vote. I saw where there was a poll of believers and 48% said they were not going to vote. To me those people are part of the problem. It is our duty as Christians to vote for the person who actions are more aligned with the Bible and what God says. Lord help our Country.
Thank you for staying true to your values and God. You are such an inspiration. God bless.
Dearest D
I am shocked at the times we are going through at 83 years of age. I am a Christian with moral beliefs and cringe at what is going on not just in politics. I worked in public education for 40 years and have 3 grown grandchildren and their wonderful parents. I fear for their future. I have truly made myself sick following the daily news. I am done with that and put it all in God’s hands. God bless each of us in the future of America! It is the home of the free and the brave. With love from Michigan.
I hope you voted blue
We are on the same team! Team USA and part of the world as a whole 🌏🫶Unity and Peace for each and every one, I pray 🙏
Agree! So many people on & off social media want to lead others to their opinions instead of actually doing the work & taking the responsibility of making that change happen. Appreciate you, Dominique ❤
I am so happy that you have spoken your piece and shared what REAL NEWS should look like, because like you said everyone has their own opinion, the news should be THE NEWS and nothing more…that is true journalism like you said… AND also true that ADULTS THAT ARE BULLIES MAKE BULLIES OF THEIR CHILDREN! You are a BEAUTIFUL person, if not I would not be following you for years! God bless you Dominique! ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
You are such a joy to hear you say this out loud!!! Thank You from the bottom of my heart. God Bless you and your family Always!🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻📿
I have been following you for about 10 years . Your channel has been an inspiration for many. Todays video just hit the spot. How the words you spoke about true journalism, God and everything in between was so meaningful.
Respect you 100% .
I’m someone who considers both sides, and it deeply saddens me to see what’s happening in this incredible country-a country that gave my parents the opportunity to build a better life for us. Dominique, the way you’ve expressed yourself in this video is inspiring; it truly shows the wonderful person you are.
My boyfriend and I don’t see eye to eye on politics, but we respect each other’s beliefs. My mother has eight siblings, and although they all have different perspectives-whether on religion, civil issues, or politics-they were taught by my grandmother to respect each other, regardless of their differences. I have four kids-two are Democrats, and two are diehard Republicans. I love them all equally, and they love each other just as much. Sure, they sometimes argue about politics, but at the end of the day, they’re siblings. The love and respect I taught them will always be there. In the end, I choose love, and I’ve always taught my kids to choose love as well.
We have to do our part, that is, vote, and God is in control. Praying for our country. 🙏🏻USA 🇺🇸
I am also praying for our country. It saddens me all the rudeness and hatred that we see everyday and not just with politics. We all deserve respect and not to be judged by others. ❤️
Journalistic integrity! What a breath of fresh air!
“Opinion Journalism” is not journalism. That departure from truth is what has contributed to the extreme political polarization.
You're correct. This is not the end of the world. All we can do it is vote and be respectful to each other.
This is on a sign outside a church near me: “ Gods plan will not be distracted by the chaos” I have to keep saying this to myself as we live through a critical time in our nation. Keep the faith!!
Harris/Walz
These comments! A breath of fresh air. You’ve cultivated a respectful, smart, and kind audience, Dominique. Regardless of political stance, this respect is what we all need to enact and expect. ❤🙏🏽
God bless you and God bless America
I agree! HARRIS/WALZ
Well put, thank you Dominique!
I am so much more aware of the facts through Merit Street Media and because of the times we live in, thats at times quite disturbing.
Some may lash out rather than take a hard look at hold fast opinions vs. facts.
You are appreciated Dominique!
Thank you Dominique for your beautiful conversation. In this life of complicated views and opinions, it's truly comforting to hear your sound statements of reason. I so look up to you!!
Thank you Dominque for your very eloquent and clear message. You are 100% on point with your comments! I smile and thank God for your openness about your belief in Him and His strong guidance in your life. The fruit of the Spirit is shining brightly through you.❤️
Dominique, you handled this with wisdom, professionalism and class. It is way too easy these days to be a keyboard warrior/troll, or to type opinions on everything online. Also, I believe there are way too many lonely, isolated people in this world, who view your videos, as well as other platforms, and think they "know" you and have a right to spew out their vitriol. Anyone who has unsubscribed or unfollowed you will likely come back in time. You have helped me (and many, many other women) over the years, with such a variety of things like health and emotional wellness, and not just the fun stuff of make-up and fashion. You are an amazing woman, and I wish you every good thing in life. God bless you. 🙏🙏💛💛🙏🙏
I love you, Dominique. It's all about having integrity. Either you have it or you don't. Our society is lacking. We need more people like you!!! This world would be a better place.
The country is divided, cut in half. I have decided who is responsible for this division, but as Dominique says, I share my ideas with my inner circle. I don't have to impose it on Dominique or her followers here; much less, God forbids, from thinking that I have the right to shout, insult or in any other way attack another person who does not think like me. To silence us, they have made us believe that there are certain topics that cannot be talked about (i.e. politics, religion) and to endorse their ideas, it is "them" who insult, shout and attack. It is a regrettable state of affairs, but as things are, let us meet in places like this; watching and listening to something that encourages us, that lifts us up, that teaches us. Thank you Dominic. Thanks to your followers. Cheers everyone. Finally but most importantly: Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith!
God Bless You!!!
There is no "us" and "them." Please look at what you are saying.
If you are speaking about specific incidences, then be specific. I tuned in to hear your message but without being more specific, I don’t see the need to involve everyone. The ones you are targeting are probably not listening. We are your loyal friends!
You are a beautiful person Dominique - inside and out. Your grace shines through your words and humility. God bless you and your family 🙏🏼
Thank you, Dominique. As a professor, I do my best to keep my opinions to myself in front of my students. When I was a college student, I had one professor who hammered us that we must agree with his political views, which I did not (and never have). It is fine to express one's views with someone of equal power, if that person has expressed a desire to discuss. But it is never acceptable to bully. Part of maturity is behaving appropriately with those you may affect. BTW, Dr Phil is fully entitled to speak in any environment he chooses. People can choose to hear or not to hear, whatever suits their preferences. Also, BTW, I have received nasty comments for posting positive comments to a YT presenter (not even political). Completely uncalled for. Fellow viewers, please just ignore my comments if you don't like them. Goodness!
You are absolutely correct. If you live in Massachusetts and you attend college there are professors who will fail students if they don’t agree with their political views. This is insanity given that we are paying for our children’s education.
I am so happy to read your comments.
I'm with you there, I never discussed my religion, money, and political beliefs to myself. No one's bussiness!
I totally agree with you. It's no one's business. Amen to that.
Dominique, you are such an inspiration and I am learning and benefitting so much from you. Please keep going. I agree with what you’ve said here in this video. I feel like you are doing your part in bringing positivity into the world based on what you can influence with all your beautiful gifts, strengths and opportunities. And we all should do our part as that is how we contribute to a better world in whatever small ways we can. Be bold and be blessed everyone. ❤️ Thank you Dominique from the bottom of my heart.
If you deny God in front of others he will deny you
Very well said, God bless you
Well put Dominque…as always you share with integrity and a humble spirit. Thank you!
Amen, that’s the plan … to stir hearts and divide, sadly. I’m with you. It’s tough! God Unite our hearts for one another. Bring Justice and peace I pray 🙏
I agree with you and so worried about our kids future we all have to pray God bless America❤❤🙏🙏
Thank you for this video. Totally agree and love all of your videos. God continue to bless and guide you. ❤🙏
Now with social media there is something called "my truth'. The truth, to me, is the facts. The rest is how it effects you. Somewhere along the line, things have tilted sideways. Thank you Dominique for speaking up. I appreciate you!
Well said - the zenith of moral relativism.
All journalists should be like you! 💗
Amen Sister! You speak it! I know you wouldn’t drop us as viewers if we differed in opinion from you. So, should should someone drop you because your opinion may differ from them. We are all different and that’s the beauty that unfortunately in today’s society is not being celebrated but attacked!
Well said, Dominique. I am continually shocked at the lack of journalistic integrity in the media now. Integrity is everything in all professions but particularly in professions that have so much influence in our society.
Expressed so eloquently. Thank you for always being the voice of reason, Dominique. You are a role model on so many levels.
So loved your message so thankful for your spirituality. I think that’s one of the best things about your platform. Sending love to you and Courtney❤❤❤
Scary times.😢 Thanks for your positive outlook. God bless us all.
There’s a saying “if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything at all.” It easier to be happy than to be angry!! 💜💜
