Good morning, Surberites and a blessed Good Friday to all.

Way back in 2015, the one thing that Trump said which made me jump onto his train was this - when asked what he would do about ISIS, he replied, “Bomb the shit out of them.” I’ve always loved that he doesn’t pull his punches.

Great article but the poll needs an “All of the above” option.

Love the poll. The non elected, career executives are the problem. I speak from present experience. Most of these clowns are sissies who never make hard decisions. They just live and love to spend our money. Especially the social programs. We need a Congress and President to repeal: Labor, HUD, Education, HHS and all the other small little agencies and commissions floating around DC. They are the true swamp creatures and a pay off to their socialist friends. They need to prune 90% of federal law enforcement - don’t need them. Every crime occurs in a state with its own system. Feds can refer cases to the state police and attorney general.

Let’s make sure we get him there, for our countries, our continent and our kids.

No more North American kids fighting in wars that do not serve our purpose!

Today, Zero Hedge reports that the Biden administration has been lying all along about job growth; there ain't no stinkin' jobs for Americans; illegals have taken them all. The numbers for this administration are FAKE; they just continue to lie smack dab in our faces, even though we all know they are lying. I think they are too damn stoopid to know that we know.

I continue to believe that we have at least 50 million illegals here, and every state is a border state, even in the woods by a lake.

Despicable!

Ted Williams was known as Teddy Ballgame. Donald Trump will come to be known as the "Republican Street Fighter." Fearless. Calculated. Determined. And America's Beacon of Hope.

In an honest election in 2024, Trump would get more electoral votes than Nixon in 72. In fact, other than “Doctor” Jill, I’m not sure who in this country would vote for this moron at this point. I suspect our commander in chief is so demented that he probably would vote for Trump. However, everything is so screwed up in this country that the polls are tightening up. That means only one thing, the fix is in.

the problem is the disintegration of the family. next it's on to single mother households. then it's off to k-12 where the destruction of america ramps up. 90% of k-12 teachers are females who vote donk 99% of the time. they use ritalin, soy, estrogen, feminism, title 1X, revisionist history and that never ending war on boys to tear apart the country and they're very good at what they do. taking a hard look inside american colleges and universities....if k-12 is not fish gutted soon there will be no saving america and in all honesty it may already be too late.

k-12 is child abuse straight up. have a wonderful day.

"Teddy Ball Game"!!! When I was 8 years old my little league team went to a Red Sox game. It was a big deal driving from a teeny town in the mountains of Maine to BOSTON and Fenway Park. #9 was playing left field. In those days I thought players would last for ever. My love of baseball grew stronger everyday right up until the Red Sox hung a Black Lives Matter banner on the left field wall. My love for baseball came to a screeching halt that day. I still have my fond memories of peanuts, popcorn, and Cracker Jacks. Great players like The Slendes Splended Splinter, Carl Yastremski, Big Poppy, Curt Schilling, Joe Dimaggio, and Greg Maddox will always live on in my memories. But like all things deeply American baseball was corrupted by politics. I pray to God, everyday, that Donald Trump gets elected in 2024 however, even if he does, like Ted Williams, his days in the game will be numbered. It took the Red Sox 86 years to win another World Series. It's going to take that long ro right the "Ship of State" Donald Trump can only captain for 4 years. We need to look beyond that.

Thanks Don, for conjuring up some great memories. I have sat in the seats of Fenway more times than I can count. I miss baseball and I miss the USA.

What is so striking about our current political and cultural catastrophe is the seeming lack of recognition by all, mostly the left, that their policies are not working. Mass invasion of unvetted people on the border, catch and release policies toward criminals, spiraling upward prices, and complete indifference to Americas energy needs, the destruction of our education system, all at the same time. A somewhat rational person would look at the present mess and at least ask “why”? How can so many people be so wrong about so many policies? It is counter-intuitive to our very instincts. Yet here we are. One can only conclude this is no accident, and is being accomplished on purpose, with the endgame being government control of everything. The difference in political parties is not always obvious either. Many on the right are okay with this destruction and

interference in our lives. They believe our system is resilient enough to correct itself before failing. It is not. We may have already passed the rubicon. DJT is a flawed man but right now he is the only real choice to slow and reverse the damage. Voting for FJB is a vote for our own demise.

Exactly. Trump is Trump. Constantly reminding people who want DJT to tone it down, no nicknames (BTW, the three stooges is priceless), learn elite-speak and just go-along to get along. If he did that would he be Donald Trump? Or would he morph into a GWB, Mitt the mutt or John McCain? Pusses just wanting to be loved by everyone.

Vroom, vroom, the mentally decrepit Biden made car noises. Yes, let it bloody well rip with a chainsaw. I want Trump to make real chainsaw noises with a chainsaw to clear the path for change. It's going to be glorious and it will be our favorite sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbh2cRx-k-E For your listening pleasure. A Blessed Good Friday, everyone.

Great post and history about Ted Williams. I didn’t know about his fighter pilot adventures in Korea.

Trump is Trump. He’s an original. There is no way that you would get a perfectly polite, media sanitized, socially unthreatening, smooth talking politician to do what Trump has done and to put up with the aggravation that’s been his staple diet for 9 years. It’s not the nature of the beast. Politicians abhor the thought of being unpopular with the power class. Trump, the honey badger, don’t care.

You never get a fat and happy insider to disrupt the power structure. Radical change has to come from outside. The establishment’s incentives are in place. They have no reason to change. Change threatens their power and their income.

For normal Americans who haven’t lost their minds and whose intelligence is somewhere north of Kamala’s, you’re fed up with business as usual. Our country is a dumpster fire and the garbage politicians of the Uniparty and their well heeled donors are responsible.

The power class is attempting to ostracize anybody who disagrees with them. They seek absolute control. Only Trump, who is let’s face it is a bit of a wild man, was willing to take the heat, to be cast out by his peers, in order to speak the truth. That’s a sacrifice most of us wouldn’t make.

Trump 2024

Because Washington sucks.

There is a good article on Zero Hedge today by Tyler Durden telling how the Philadelphia Fed has exposed that the diaper jockey’s BLS has intentionally inflated jobs over the last year to the tune of 800,000. Even the things they claim are good are Potemkin BS. If Trump doesn’t win this country is toast, and I don’t know if the destruction is even reversible at this point. Obama and Obama II have done grave damage to the republic.
