STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

Today’s Poser

Why is it that most political violence is almost always the left directed against the right (MAGA hats, Don’t Tread on Me flags, the Pledge of Allegiance, Trump yard signs, etc.) ... and not the other way around? (Do these people really believe that this changes minds?)

STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

Back to Basics

What does Make America Great Again mean? To me, this means for America to restore itself and get back to basics ... those elements that allowed us to breath free air and exhale free speech. I think most Americans would love to have the following restored to our shores:

- Teaching our children the three-Rs instead of political pap

- Not living beyond our means

- Restoring the family as the bedrock of our society

- Re-establishing morality ... best through religions

- Producing essential goods inside of our country

- Revering our proud heritage and history

- Reaching out to help other nations in need

- Working hard and being productive

- Restoring our beautiful infrastructure

- Standing up for freedom as a model to the world

- Being patriotic and loving our country

- Being positive ... and not being frozen with fear

MAGA!

A country without borders is not a country

Free trade is not necessarily fair trade

The US is not the world’s police force

Nationalism over failed globalism

This country will never be socialist

America needs to be energy independent

Bring manufacturing back to the United States

We must have the world’s premier military force

Be careful who you pick for your enemies ... and for your friends

Immigration should be welcoming but selective ... aim for contributors

We must take care of our veterans

Repeal and replace Obamacare

Strong economic growth and full employment across all ethnic groups

Our cities should be clean and crime-free

Alliances should be lived up to ... by all parties

Love of country and pride in country

Trump’s Legacy

I know it’s rather early to start considering what Trump’s legacy will be. But there are some rather clear things that he has changed that will live on after he has departed the White House. Here are my takes:

- The president’s “magic wand” of tax cuts and regulation reforms has kicked up the rate of economic growth to above 3% from the previous “new normal” of below 2%. And the stock market is up over 50% combined with energy independence, strong consumer confidence, employment and domestic manufacturing. And inflation has been modest to boot. Not bad!

- The U.S.’s national image will have flipped from apologizing for our success to being proud of it ... and resolving to return to our past glories. We will have recaptured our greatness ... and be proud of it.

- Like Ronald Reagan did to restore our defense dominance, so Donald Trump will be equally lauded ... but he will also be praised for his restraint in using this military might. In the process, he has put, at least for the moment, North Korea and Iran in a box. If either of these countries capitulates, it will be the first sentence in his history book write up.

- Exactly opposite to the current media narrative, NATO will have been substantially strengthened by Trump’s insistence that our European partners live up to their financial and troop obligations under this decades-old pact.

- Although Trump will not have destroyed terrorism, he likely will have partially defanged it.

- Despite enormous sticky resistance in Congress and in the courts, Trump has made some progress in securing our borders and reforming our immigration process ... less than the majority of Americans want ... but still progress.

- Trump’s agenda has pushed the Democrat party to show its colors as being far more radical left in its actions than its deceptive rhetoric.

- If nothing else, President Trump will be remembered for his focusing on how China has become a hegemonic threat to America ... and his developing strategies to counter same. So far his success here has been modest but, if re-elected, I expect much more progress.

MAGA

We have all read and seen the hostile reactions being exhibited by Trump haters. The Covington boys experience first-hand the kind of vitriol exhibited by the Black Israelites and a Native American drummer when they wore their MAGA hats on a field trip to Washington, DC. Over and over again our media reports of  physical attacks on Trump aides or supporters.  The person who attacked Kellyanne Conway at her birthday dinner in Maryland last year was just acquited of assault. (No, it wasn’t her husband.)

As a consequence, Trump supporters have been driven underground and are afraid of being discovered as Trumpers lest they lose their jobs, their friends or even family members. I have been fortunate in that few of these punishments have been visited on me. (A few people have “defriended” me on this blog.) However, maybe it is because I am too old for people to take me seriously.

One last thing, I have found a way of exhibiting my support for Trump when I am out in public. My daughter gave me one of those pink knitted hats for Christmas. I have polka-dotted it with Make America Great Again buttons ... so, when I wear this “pussy” hat, moonbats are reluctant to attack me because they seem confused as to my real allegiance.

Investigation Fatigue

The Mueller investigation is over. It appears to this observer to have been nothing more than an exercise in gorilla dust to keep the country distracted with bluster so that we would not focus on the many real serious scandals committed by Obama, Hillary Clinton, Brennan, Comey, Clapper, Lynch, et alia during The One’s regime. This obfuscating strategy continues into the foreseeable future with the intent to tire us out from bogus investigations so that these real Obama scandals will be swept away.

So, the fact that Mueller seems to have come up empty with his two-year investigation may not be a total loss for the Democrats. Hillary is still sipping Chardonnay in Chappaqua, Obama is ensconced with Michelle O. and Valery Jarrett in his DC manse, most of the crooked CIA, FBI and DOJ bad actors are still cashing their checks from book publishers, MSNBC, CNN and other media moguls ... and spittle-flecked Democrats are plotting new ways to negate the results of the last election ... instead of helping Trump to Make America Great Again.

“The investigation continues ...” So sad!

Still Winning?

Is Trump making progress on his MAGA agenda? Let's take a look:


- Orange County, California is now controlled by Democrats

- China's Xi is not yet bending on our trade war

- North Korea's Kim has stopped moving forward on denuclearizing

- The CIA has gone rogue leaking the Crown Prince connection to Khashoggi murder

- Our economy is apparently slowing to below 3%

- Mueller is a coiled snake ready to strike

- CNN's Jim Acosta is back in the White House

- The Central American caravan is still coming

- Out stock market is in a swoon

- Great Britain's is being sucked back into the EU

- The House has ordered boxes of blank subpoenas for next year

- Few NATO members have met their obliged contributions


So what is Trump going to be thankful for on Thursday?
