In his victory speech in 2008 — nearly a generation ago — Obama told the masses in Chicago: “It's been a long time coming. But tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.”
"Frankly, it's a shame Charlotte's experiment to hire an investment banker [FB head coach Biff Poggi, fired this week] with no on-field experience whose wardrobe can also be used to wax your car and who built a team by recruiting guys from his old high school under the auspices of filming a documentary that would air on Quibi didn't work. It seemed like such a good idea at the time."
ESPN David Hale (11/24/24)
My note: "Quibi" was the multi-million dollar internet bust-brainchild of someone who then immediately proceeded to raise millions of dollars for Biden's re-election campaign.
Great article today. Don is on top of his game today. The glass is still half empty though. We have a better chance of bringing change than we did before but I'm not counting my chickens just yet.
11/21/24: Same here, Jake. The potential for things going screwy is just too damned obvious. This is a wariness that long preceded DJT; I think I got the hang of it in 1975 when I had to report to five-seven different departments at Fort Polk LA to simply replace a pair of defective combat boots. The last stop featured an ebullient Lt. Col. who yelled, "This is why we aren't getting the volunteer soldiers we need!" and swiftly signed the voucher for the new boots. Boy, do I wish today that I could send him a thank you note...
11/21/24: I toyed with the idea that this was planned all along --- nominate someone who would piss them off, with Gaetz in on the secret. Then use the leverage of offering to w/draw Gaetz's name in order to obtain support for other nominations/proposals/deals. But why have Gaetz resign? No matter. Now. Make him the Florida senator and we're squared away. Then Gaetz can piss off the Senate RINO-Nances to his heart's content ("Why, HELLO, Lindsay!") while Jolly Old Fetterman does the same to his brainless fellow Democrat senators.
11/26/24: What would stop Trump, if anything, from appointing Gaetz as a special prosecutor --- the Senate approval that Biden and Garland ignored when they appointed Jack Smith?
..and the creatures with their little DEI brains would have a hard time going after the woman up for AG now. Did you hear one of them on MSNBC say " the problem with her is that she is competent."

11/21/24: Same here! And now, for comic relief, for those of us whose tense muscles (mental and physical) have been unwinding slowly since the 5th of November):
Headline: "This Is What a Losing Campaign Looks Like. How does Donald Trump’s running mate have so much time on his hands?" The Atlantic David Frum (09/18/24).
"LOSING CAMPAIGN"!!! This cannot be stated too many times; it became obvious around 2015 and NOTHING has changed: "The losers are calling the winners 'losers.' "
Imagine the landslide if the MSM, academia, the DOJ, the IC, 95% of the federal work force, RINO's, big tech, the WEF and the Swamp were not against him? Trump would have put Reagan's landslide to shame.
At this point, the internet has taken over the job of the 4th state. MSM made itself irrelevant. If they want it back, they have to make changes. There are some that are making noises. Not sure if they will make it. To be truthful, I dont care.
We can thank those Senate Republicans for that, I bet.
Why is it they roll over and approve any ol’ Marxist for Democrat presidents and then squawk like a grackle about a Republican president’s pick for HIS cabinet? The fight is not over, folks!
Interesting question. I wonder if MSM will ever return? I think people are likely to look for alternates like blogs and such. Lots out there. Maybe this is what evolution really looks like?
I don't think they will. I was talkig to a 20 something young woman the other day and she told me she doesn't watch TV at all. Netflix. My Daughter and Son-in-law (40 something) don't watch TV either.
We cut the cord a decade ago. At the time I could get local news OTA, but lost those for some reason. Have yet to find a way to know what is really going on locally, unfortunately, other than radio.
My parents have been forced to cut the cord and my mom just doesn’t understand streaming TV. It’s difficult for her to understand what to do when the streaming service they have for TV and sports doesn’t pop up first thing.
The profound role of yellow journalism has been camouflaged for generations now by both public and private education. As we approach unsustainable debt levels, the basis for our hopes is pretty well addressed in the vanquishing of Obama. It will be a generational struggle. Hopefully, opposition will regenerate itself with the betterment of the Republic in mind.
Claiming Trump didn't win a landslide is the shameless concession to the fact that the former president won an election, after being declared persona non grata by the Deep State establishment--but not the people. It's also a concession to shameless propaganda. The legacy media that has lied to the American people, since forever, continues its incontinent ways.
Now AD, we know Barry is XY because right after he got in the White House Reggie Love, a known homosexual was a frequent visitor. The only question, which I don't want to know the answer to, is big Mike also XY?
Remember the stories of Rev Wright's down low club?
I hear you. But there is a saying that goes “keep your friends close and your enemies closer”. I want him here, and subject to our laws just incase he isn’t done with his “changy things”.
But he MUST take that atrocious so called wife along, they are equally evil and both must go. They got their educations thanks to all of you/us and are multi multi $MM because of those white supremzcists (roll eyes, I don't know any; where are they) oh right, a figment of the MSM and their fans.
Don, be sure to tell us upcoming stories we’d otherwise miss- like how the good folks of Alaska make Sen. what’s-her-name get religion. Same with Sen. Collins from what’s-her-state. (Isn’t it great being out of school and not having to remember trivia?)
We're likely never going to be able to repeal the Seventeenth Amendment. Too much of the MSM will paint it as an attack on democracy. (or some such idiocy). But it might be possible to amend the Amendment by allowing a mechanism for States to recall their senators. Thoughts?
I don't think term limits are the solution- there are greats like Grassley. I prefer vetting and monitoring and cutting the link to post term benefits/ jobs. Stop the insider trading and publish their taxes - no hiding money in family members......
easy to expand on this and make it a job for honest men and woman.
At this point, we don’t have sufficient states to vote in favor of amending or repealing the 17th. Huge mistake when it was approved! It needs to happen. We also need 67 senators to vote for it. Great thought. Don’t see a way to do it… at this point.
11/29/24: Those are the keys to Rockefeller Center, which the Japanese real estate wizards left on the receptionist's desk as they abandoned the premises, unwilling to throw good money after bad. Someone really ought to go pick them up. They've been there since about 1992 (!).
I think that Trump has entered the realm of the supernatural. Nothing done to him succeeds. Lawfare, attempted assassination, the entire MSM narrative…nothing worked. If you are a believer in The Fourth Turning, then Trump is the Gray Champion that will lead the country through the current Crisis cycle. May he be successful in his quest.
Not taking a solitary accomplishment away from DJT but I think part of the explanation is due to the fact that enough of America finally realized how utterly broken and corrupt their country's government had gotten and they finally got off their collective butts and voted to change it. All they needed was a guy with the guts …..and a big “S” on his chest to lead them.
Trump's success is due to his resonance with the people, not the other way around and he knows this. In that, Trump was accurate when he said that, "They're not after me; they're after you. I'm only in the way." It's the same as with Rush Limbaugh's success. Although he was accused by his leftist enemies of "leading" his listeners, he knew and often said that he was successful because he said publicly and cogently what his supporters thought and felt.
Yes, you must love your country to lead it. And that my friends is what is so wrong with many of the West's leaders right now. I will cite the examples of Keir Starmer and Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron. They hate their voters.
Read an interesting post yesterday noting that “when banks train their employees to recognize a counterfeit bill, they don’t train them on every possible way counterfeit currency might look and feel. They teach you to be so familiar with the real thing that when you pick up a counterfeit bill, you’ll immediately recognize the difference.”
It’s the resonance of truth. People seeking the truth recognize it when they hear and see it.
There are millions of Americans who sensed things were way off, and recognized the truth Trump was speaking.
Many on the Left, especially those in positions of power, however, love their darkness more than the light, and therefore the truth is unrecognizable to them.
They’ve had the power for, at the very least, the last 10 years, but can only be weeded out and thoroughly eliminated from their perches only by the fear of God, through Justice and Judgment, and that goes for many of our Senators and Congressmen.
It’s the only way to assure our ability to restore and renew this country.
There are millions of us in many countries who have exactly the same feelings. We know what is wrong. By the way, I have been doing the Trump dance daily. I've added the golf swing, too. I have won several bets with naysayers and received one apology. One still to come.
I love the Trump dance! It's unifying everyone, everywhere. Also still like the Eating the Dogs, Eating the Cats video with Trump dancing. Is there anything he can't do?!
I see your point, but I deplore the bank example. Because of what the Swamp has done to our money, what the banks train people to do is tell one counterfeit bill from another.
Put another way, ever since Nixon went off the Gold Standard, we've been on the Counterfeit Standard.
Even if Obama doesn't land in legal jeaopardy, I want to see all of his misdeeds exposed. The man is a crook and a menace. You may think he's vanquished, but Obama doesn't think so. He has an ego the size of Mt Everest and the only thing larger is his hatred of this country and her people. What he's doing is scheming.
Obama is done, with a nice assist from Biden who shivved him in the back with the quick Harris endorsement. Now, Gaetz needs to put most of the swing states' election processes through the ringer and send some local democrat officials to jail.
While I have only contempt for Obama, it is looking more and more to me like the Clinton cabal was more responsible for the creation and weaponization of the so-called deep state resistance than the racist Obama regime. Obama was just a racist who thought changing the world came thru attacking ones skin color, just the opposite of the desegregation and civil rights movements he used as cover. He was the appointed con artist that never deserved his accolades. The Clintons are deep state masters who spawned an entire government takeover who used this country’s government to advance their neocon views. Yes, the XX version of the Clinton couple is a neocon and has no problem sending someone elses kid to die for their failed beliefs. She and her followers have no sense of humanity, only power.
The Clintons certainly laid some groundwork, but I think Obama far exceeded them in wrecking the country. Obama and Valerie Jarrett had 8 years (12, if you include Biden's term) to contaminate our entire Federal government and our culture on every level, from judges to the bureaucracy, to the Fed, to the colleges, to Hollywood, etc, to tons of Leftist political/social justice organizations etc.-- Obama funneled MAJOR money to all of these, and seeded them all with Marxists.
Let's not forget the destruction of our military by forcing out officers who weren't liberal enough. They presently have a force as devoid of conscience as the SA and SS paid for by hard working conservatives.
And seeing to payback for Hillary. No way could our country absolve him of cheating on her with the staffer, planting tobacco in fertile ground, etc., and Hellary was plenty angry. Ask any taxi driver in Little Rock.
I think if we were able to excise the propaganda in most of our history books, most Americans would be shocked to realize just when the so-called “Deep State” really began. I am convinced that it was long before anyone ever heard of either Bill or Hillary Clinton. It began many generations ago, and if we are ever cured of it, that happy time will be many generations hence. Meanwhile, we have to fight the battles in our immediate front. Do not think the immediate battles now in progress, or those to come, or this WAR is won or that our ultimate victory (short of Jesus’s return) is assured. We could still lose. Yes, Trump and MAGA learned valuable lessons from 2016 through today. But so did the Marxist, Godless, Islamist, criminal, misguided cabal, whom we like to oversimplify by lumping them all under one label - the “Resistance”. Don’t underestimate them. Don’t over estimate ourselves. Steel yourselves. There is much desperate fighting still ahead. Of course, we could still win, too! If we resolve to fight harder, to be more tenacious, more dedicated than they, and above all to humble ourselves to strive toward being worthy of God’s favor, our future and our progeny’s future can be glorious. Prayer will always be our best weapon and shield.
Amen. We are still in the thick of the battle, and prayer is for sure "our best weapon and shield".
I think it is also essential for us to keep our heads above water, and never forget that evil is fatally flawed from the beginning, and carries within itself the seeds of its own destruction. So we should fight firmly, but never be impressed or intimidated by evil.
11/21/24: Why is Biden and Pelosi being blamed when it was Obama who shoveled Gaffe Machine Biden into the White House as his vice president? No Obama = no Biden = no Harris.
How’d you like t/b living in a sleepy welsh town when all the rich, snotty, .001% Americans wing in on their G3s….to habit their ruined-but-cool countryside castles…like Pelosi w her secret Service Suburbans doing shoe shopping bat-turns in St Helena…
I read yesterday Sardinia is selling houses for 1 euro and targeting disgruntled lefties. I was stationed 6 months in Sardinia. I know why their population is dwindling. My Navy buddies and I referred to it as the "The Rock". One of the happiest days of my life was when we left the place.
I think Trump finally has driven home the idea that Obama is no longer protected by his race (1//2 race, I should say). He has now accomplished what we thought Obama's election would do: make race irrelevant in the US. I was so disappointed at the 2020 steal, but maybe it was all for the better, if WWIII doesn't start before 1/20/25.
Already started. Look at what the US Military is doing around the world and you can see what is happening. I hate Putin but when we broke our promise to not add any countries to NATO that were close to Russian borders we gave him little choice. His reaction was no different than would be ours if the situation was reversed. When the Biden puppet turned low se Ukraine to fire missles into the heart of Russia with our hands on assistance, he took the first shot at a direct confrontation. Just wait for his payback. Russians don’t forget. We should all be calling the WH and voicing our anger.
I have to disagree. By its very nature, NATO is a defensive organization, not an offensive one, and Putin knew it. His squealing about it was just for show, because he had no better argument to justify his aggressions. And he himself grabbed all the war material he could from other countries.
And if by "payback" you mean nukes, which he has threatened to launch about a dozen times: assuming they even work, that would be the end of his godforsaken country.
Our chief hope is that Putin and Xi understand that if they can hold on for 60 days, sanity will return to America and America will no longer be provoking them. And that Putin and Xi don't really want to see the whole globe destroyed in a nuclear chaos.
Yes, Trump will be tougher to deal with than Biden was, but Trump is very pragmatic, too, and is not interested in pushing Russia and China into some corner. Trump is a dealmaker, and Putin and Xi can work with him.
I'd be willing to bet Trump is already working with Russia, Ukraine, and China. Specifically Ukraine, “Mr. Zelenski, if you launch those missiles you will rue the day you were born.”
well, I guess the missles have already been fired. Biden isn't doing this, his handlers are. I am sure Trump is doing everything he can to cool it down.
Silly us. We thought a black prez would assuage our white guilt. Talk about an exploding cigar. It blew up in our faces. And now we have reverse racism. Thank you, lightbringer.
Create an agency that exists only to torment Obama and the cabal he assembled. Remember waking up almost every day to his next debacle? The Bidens need to be jailed, bankrupted and forgotten. Obama should be reminded daily of the destruction he wrought. Make him dread what's coming. Drive him back to his beloved Kenya.
Revenge can be sweet but t if you really want to torment King Obama, just make sure he is ignored and forgotten, just a footnote in history books. That would be the kiss if death to Obama and his cult.
That is the best revenge, no one taking Obama seriously. No one thinking of him at all. Obama thinks he is the best of the best of the best. He is ~ the best narcissist. So ignoring him, will burn his bacon more than anything else.
That would be worth the taxpayer money (while downsizing all other agencies) and I think most taxpayers would support it. Not so much for the revenge but to discourage partisan foul play for fear of the very public and co$tly consequences for them and their families. What could we call it? TTBYL - Think Twice Before You Lie. YSAT - You Sure About That? (channeling cousin Vinnie)
Requisite Justice for the litany of anti-American and unConstitutional acts perpetrated by these traitors over the last eight years is must, not only because it is the right thing to do, but because of the impact it will have in bringing to light how utterly corrupt so many in power have been.
That is necessary to finally disabuse the citizenry that this drama played out over the last 10 years has not just been a partisan battle between the two parties, but rather an existential battle against deep-seated corruption and antiAmericanism that nearly brought the entire country down.
Shining the light, revealing the truth, and pronouncing swift judgment against evil, is the disinfectant and fumigation the whole country needs to experience if it’s ever going to truly realign and re-establish a return to its Constitutional core principles and values.
I got the belt, the threat, and to pick my own switch. But before any of that, I got my mouth washed out with Lifebuoy soap--not the pretty kind--the orange nasty smelling soap adored by certain mothers of my cohort.
Not keen on spankings, but I’ve found Time outs and deprivation of benefits (screen time, treats, isolation), can work wonders in getting kids to relent.
I have two sisters that would never spank their boys no matter what. They both live at home with their mommas at 47 and 42 years old. I won't say there's a direct correlation but me and my brother's kids all have their own homes, careers and families.
No TV, strictly enforced worked for me. When threatened after the first time things usually ended immediately. I only had to use it twice. (This was before computers and cell phones)
Thorough exposure is ESSENTIAL. Liberals MUST be awakened and understand how they have been misled. Some segment of liberals DID know all along, and were complicit, because they are genuine hardcore Marxists. But most liberals were just grossly uninformed.
America will not be safe until the majority of liberals wake up and honestly face the mechanisms by which they were misled.
All Gov't agencies (including Military) have contracts to shred documents for all non-classified material. This has been going on since the 90's. It was part of the paper recycle program and most of our listings and copier paper was required to be recycled. Any classified documents were required to go through a special shredder that just about turned it into powder.
“With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.”
Don, I just became a paying subscriber after freeloading for a while. I did so because what you write is literally what’s in my head…or is it the other way around. Either way, keep up the great work. You’re insights are my desert served first thing in the morning.
Speaking of a delay; was there an actual column yesterday (Wednesday)? I missed it entirely but kept checking my e-mail. Huckabee published two on yesterday. I troll his and pay for this one--GLADLY. Very gladly.
"Trump finally vanquished Obama." Seems to me more like Obama vanquished Obama. The scum and slime inside him got through the pores of his skin, forming an incurable rash. Wear it proudly Barry, we all see it. Say "hi" to Mike.
Cat Lady News and Come Out of the Closet!!! It’s my favorite part of the win—-Trump beats Obama twice, and the second time he also makes both of the Obamas completely irrelevant from this point forward. The Dem machine is weakened. The MSM is on its last gasp. Polls are lying liars. They’ve got to be both quaking in their boots AND sharpening their knives in DC. Donald John Trump and gang are coming to town AGAIN!
Their are some things that should be left in the mind unspoken. I'm just glad that Michele hated The White House & D.C. environment. Remember she was always on vacation some where with the girls & Mother. Otherwise we all would be really sick & downcast.
OMG! You’re singing my song. Trumpenfreude at its finest.
Thank you, Don, from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you.

Exhibit one for caution--Gaetz is out as AG. We better get an equally tough--rock solid--replacement.
Good on Gaetz for withdrawing rather than providing a distraction. Hopefully our great dealmaker DJT has extracted some HUGE concessions in return.

Yes, the internet has definitely taken over as the 4th estate.
The Internet (X) has told us that Matt Gaetz has taken himself out of the running for AG.
Sorry, it wasn't X. It was CFP that told us about Gaetz.

Each in their own time. One does not diminish the other.
I chose go to Kenya in the poll because while I really don’t care what he does, I would rather he be out of the country while I wasn’t caring.
I’d like him to go to gulag or the gallows but that wasn’t an option
My choice would have been send him to Indonesia with a lifetime supply of his favorite, cocaine.
Him, her, whatever...
Now AD, we know Barry is XY because right after he got in the White House Reggie Love, a known homosexual was a frequent visitor. The only question, which I don't want to know the answer to, is big Mike also XY?

Not taking a solitary accomplishment away from DJT but I think part of the explanation is due to the fact that enough of America finally realized how utterly broken and corrupt their country's government had gotten and they finally got off their collective butts and voted to change it. All they needed was a guy with the guts …..and a big “S” on his chest to lead them.
Trump's success is due to his resonance with the people, not the other way around and he knows this. In that, Trump was accurate when he said that, "They're not after me; they're after you. I'm only in the way." It's the same as with Rush Limbaugh's success. Although he was accused by his leftist enemies of "leading" his listeners, he knew and often said that he was successful because he said publicly and cogently what his supporters thought and felt.
The other reason for Trump's success (from his own lips):
"You can't lead America if you don't love America." Amen.
I love this statement.
Yes, you must love your country to lead it. And that my friends is what is so wrong with many of the West's leaders right now. I will cite the examples of Keir Starmer and Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron. They hate their voters.
But we voters hate Justin, too. (Well most of us.)
Remember, the Indian who had a tear in his eye?
He was actually an American actor of Sicilian descent. He was often an extra in many B&W films from the 40s-50s.
Thx-about the environment, IIRC?
I also remember the Indian in the ad who said "The Bear---He sees you as food"
Boy, do I remember that TV ad. Yet I think it got a little sideways of what the tree huggers were thinking.
Read an interesting post yesterday noting that “when banks train their employees to recognize a counterfeit bill, they don’t train them on every possible way counterfeit currency might look and feel. They teach you to be so familiar with the real thing that when you pick up a counterfeit bill, you’ll immediately recognize the difference.”
It’s the resonance of truth. People seeking the truth recognize it when they hear and see it.
There are millions of Americans who sensed things were way off, and recognized the truth Trump was speaking.
Many on the Left, especially those in positions of power, however, love their darkness more than the light, and therefore the truth is unrecognizable to them.
They’ve had the power for, at the very least, the last 10 years, but can only be weeded out and thoroughly eliminated from their perches only by the fear of God, through Justice and Judgment, and that goes for many of our Senators and Congressmen.
It’s the only way to assure our ability to restore and renew this country.
There are millions of us in many countries who have exactly the same feelings. We know what is wrong. By the way, I have been doing the Trump dance daily. I've added the golf swing, too. I have won several bets with naysayers and received one apology. One still to come.
Hah! You GO girl!

I love the Trump dance! It's unifying everyone, everywhere. Also still like the Eating the Dogs, Eating the Cats video with Trump dancing. Is there anything he can't do?!
I think we can officially say that the Right (Trump) has now won "the culture wars"!
I see your point, but I deplore the bank example. Because of what the Swamp has done to our money, what the banks train people to do is tell one counterfeit bill from another.
Put another way, ever since Nixon went off the Gold Standard, we've been on the Counterfeit Standard.
It’s the point of the message that matters.
DJT was chosen for a reason.
We got PDJT the same way El-Rushbo got his talent.
I think you’re right.
Amen.
Even if Obama doesn't land in legal jeaopardy, I want to see all of his misdeeds exposed. The man is a crook and a menace. You may think he's vanquished, but Obama doesn't think so. He has an ego the size of Mt Everest and the only thing larger is his hatred of this country and her people. What he's doing is scheming.
You are correct, Sir.
Maybe... but remember he is lazy as hell also.
I would describe Obama as sneaky and malicious.
Somebody has to protect him though. Gonna be tougher with a new FBI head and a neutered MSM...
Obama is done, with a nice assist from Biden who shivved him in the back with the quick Harris endorsement. Now, Gaetz needs to put most of the swing states' election processes through the ringer and send some local democrat officials to jail.
While I have only contempt for Obama, it is looking more and more to me like the Clinton cabal was more responsible for the creation and weaponization of the so-called deep state resistance than the racist Obama regime. Obama was just a racist who thought changing the world came thru attacking ones skin color, just the opposite of the desegregation and civil rights movements he used as cover. He was the appointed con artist that never deserved his accolades. The Clintons are deep state masters who spawned an entire government takeover who used this country’s government to advance their neocon views. Yes, the XX version of the Clinton couple is a neocon and has no problem sending someone elses kid to die for their failed beliefs. She and her followers have no sense of humanity, only power.
The Clintons certainly laid some groundwork, but I think Obama far exceeded them in wrecking the country. Obama and Valerie Jarrett had 8 years (12, if you include Biden's term) to contaminate our entire Federal government and our culture on every level, from judges to the bureaucracy, to the Fed, to the colleges, to Hollywood, etc, to tons of Leftist political/social justice organizations etc.-- Obama funneled MAJOR money to all of these, and seeded them all with Marxists.
Let's not forget the destruction of our military by forcing out officers who weren't liberal enough. They presently have a force as devoid of conscience as the SA and SS paid for by hard working conservatives.
Obama's speciality was destroying the US.
The Clinton's speciality was destroying the world.
And seeing to payback for Hillary. No way could our country absolve him of cheating on her with the staffer, planting tobacco in fertile ground, etc., and Hellary was plenty angry. Ask any taxi driver in Little Rock.
Specifically Haiti.
Both are guilty. No question.
I think if we were able to excise the propaganda in most of our history books, most Americans would be shocked to realize just when the so-called “Deep State” really began. I am convinced that it was long before anyone ever heard of either Bill or Hillary Clinton. It began many generations ago, and if we are ever cured of it, that happy time will be many generations hence. Meanwhile, we have to fight the battles in our immediate front. Do not think the immediate battles now in progress, or those to come, or this WAR is won or that our ultimate victory (short of Jesus’s return) is assured. We could still lose. Yes, Trump and MAGA learned valuable lessons from 2016 through today. But so did the Marxist, Godless, Islamist, criminal, misguided cabal, whom we like to oversimplify by lumping them all under one label - the “Resistance”. Don’t underestimate them. Don’t over estimate ourselves. Steel yourselves. There is much desperate fighting still ahead. Of course, we could still win, too! If we resolve to fight harder, to be more tenacious, more dedicated than they, and above all to humble ourselves to strive toward being worthy of God’s favor, our future and our progeny’s future can be glorious. Prayer will always be our best weapon and shield.
Amen. We are still in the thick of the battle, and prayer is for sure "our best weapon and shield".
I think it is also essential for us to keep our heads above water, and never forget that evil is fatally flawed from the beginning, and carries within itself the seeds of its own destruction. So we should fight firmly, but never be impressed or intimidated by evil.
Amen- Nothing like a few jail terms to get the lunatic left's attention.
Gaetz has taken himself out of the mix. Trump will use him somewhere else, I'm sure.
11/21/24: Why is Biden and Pelosi being blamed when it was Obama who shoveled Gaffe Machine Biden into the White House as his vice president? No Obama = no Biden = no Harris.
To O and Michael - please just disappear. Move to England with Ellen............
How’d you like t/b living in a sleepy welsh town when all the rich, snotty, .001% Americans wing in on their G3s….to habit their ruined-but-cool countryside castles…like Pelosi w her secret Service Suburbans doing shoe shopping bat-turns in St Helena…
Booooy, wont the Brits be pissy. Yep, they can have them all.
They have Madonna too.
Good. Keep her.
I read yesterday Sardinia is selling houses for 1 euro and targeting disgruntled lefties. I was stationed 6 months in Sardinia. I know why their population is dwindling. My Navy buddies and I referred to it as the "The Rock". One of the happiest days of my life was when we left the place.
No free speech in England. They should fit in just fine.
BO... more apt.
Well they’d want titles in order to move
Maybe Michael and O can secretly get Harry and Meghan back into the country. Good riddance on all counts!
I think Trump finally has driven home the idea that Obama is no longer protected by his race (1//2 race, I should say). He has now accomplished what we thought Obama's election would do: make race irrelevant in the US. I was so disappointed at the 2020 steal, but maybe it was all for the better, if WWIII doesn't start before 1/20/25.
That removal of race as a shield is perhaps Obama's biggest contribution
Already started. Look at what the US Military is doing around the world and you can see what is happening. I hate Putin but when we broke our promise to not add any countries to NATO that were close to Russian borders we gave him little choice. His reaction was no different than would be ours if the situation was reversed. When the Biden puppet turned low se Ukraine to fire missles into the heart of Russia with our hands on assistance, he took the first shot at a direct confrontation. Just wait for his payback. Russians don’t forget. We should all be calling the WH and voicing our anger.
I have to disagree. By its very nature, NATO is a defensive organization, not an offensive one, and Putin knew it. His squealing about it was just for show, because he had no better argument to justify his aggressions. And he himself grabbed all the war material he could from other countries.
And if by "payback" you mean nukes, which he has threatened to launch about a dozen times: assuming they even work, that would be the end of his godforsaken country.
WWIII has started, in Ukraine. It is just sort of simmering while FJB turns the heat up to make it boil.
Our chief hope is that Putin and Xi understand that if they can hold on for 60 days, sanity will return to America and America will no longer be provoking them. And that Putin and Xi don't really want to see the whole globe destroyed in a nuclear chaos.
Yes, Trump will be tougher to deal with than Biden was, but Trump is very pragmatic, too, and is not interested in pushing Russia and China into some corner. Trump is a dealmaker, and Putin and Xi can work with him.
Putin may be be a lot of things but stupid ain't one of them. He will wait the two months.
I think so too.
I'd be willing to bet Trump is already working with Russia, Ukraine, and China. Specifically Ukraine, “Mr. Zelenski, if you launch those missiles you will rue the day you were born.”
well, I guess the missles have already been fired. Biden isn't doing this, his handlers are. I am sure Trump is doing everything he can to cool it down.
Nice read of the tea leaves👍
You are correct, Sir.
Game on.
Silly us. We thought a black prez would assuage our white guilt. Talk about an exploding cigar. It blew up in our faces. And now we have reverse racism. Thank you, lightbringer.
I do not suffer from white guilt.
Obama set the civil rights movement back into the early 1900's.
The race card and the abortion card are pretty much dead, with the exception of the few that are hanging on for dear life. Pardon the bad pun.
Don't call it a bad pun; it is automatically great logic. My dearly departed sister would start every letter with a "pun"ishment.
There's no way Russia could start WWIII, if that's what you mean.
Create an agency that exists only to torment Obama and the cabal he assembled. Remember waking up almost every day to his next debacle? The Bidens need to be jailed, bankrupted and forgotten. Obama should be reminded daily of the destruction he wrought. Make him dread what's coming. Drive him back to his beloved Kenya.
Revenge can be sweet but t if you really want to torment King Obama, just make sure he is ignored and forgotten, just a footnote in history books. That would be the kiss if death to Obama and his cult.
That is the best revenge, no one taking Obama seriously. No one thinking of him at all. Obama thinks he is the best of the best of the best. He is ~ the best narcissist. So ignoring him, will burn his bacon more than anything else.
It is not revenge. That is a Leftist talking point.
It is Justice based upon the actual Rule of Law, which they have twisted, tortured and abused and ignored.
“When the judgments of the Lord are in the earth the people will learn righteousness”…whether they like it or not.
That would be worth the taxpayer money (while downsizing all other agencies) and I think most taxpayers would support it. Not so much for the revenge but to discourage partisan foul play for fear of the very public and co$tly consequences for them and their families. What could we call it? TTBYL - Think Twice Before You Lie. YSAT - You Sure About That? (channeling cousin Vinnie)
Hah! I wholeheartedly agree.
Requisite Justice for the litany of anti-American and unConstitutional acts perpetrated by these traitors over the last eight years is must, not only because it is the right thing to do, but because of the impact it will have in bringing to light how utterly corrupt so many in power have been.
That is necessary to finally disabuse the citizenry that this drama played out over the last 10 years has not just been a partisan battle between the two parties, but rather an existential battle against deep-seated corruption and antiAmericanism that nearly brought the entire country down.
Shining the light, revealing the truth, and pronouncing swift judgment against evil, is the disinfectant and fumigation the whole country needs to experience if it’s ever going to truly realign and re-establish a return to its Constitutional core principles and values.
People have to go to prison. Many people. If not, nothing will change...
Just like with a naughty three-year-old: spankings work; time outs? Not so much.
LOL... me, I got the belt, with the dreaded "wait till you father gets home"!
I got the belt, the threat, and to pick my own switch. But before any of that, I got my mouth washed out with Lifebuoy soap--not the pretty kind--the orange nasty smelling soap adored by certain mothers of my cohort.
Not keen on spankings, but I’ve found Time outs and deprivation of benefits (screen time, treats, isolation), can work wonders in getting kids to relent.
I have two sisters that would never spank their boys no matter what. They both live at home with their mommas at 47 and 42 years old. I won't say there's a direct correlation but me and my brother's kids all have their own homes, careers and families.
No TV, strictly enforced worked for me. When threatened after the first time things usually ended immediately. I only had to use it twice. (This was before computers and cell phones)
And neither does "tough love" and just don't try it on a child with a very high IQ.
Absolutely right, and well said, Suzie.
Thorough exposure is ESSENTIAL. Liberals MUST be awakened and understand how they have been misled. Some segment of liberals DID know all along, and were complicit, because they are genuine hardcore Marxists. But most liberals were just grossly uninformed.
America will not be safe until the majority of liberals wake up and honestly face the mechanisms by which they were misled.

Yup, right there out in the open. Not a care in the world. Who's going to stop them?
Good grief!!!! This picture needs to go viral--hope Kane posts it on CFP.
See a shorter link to the photo above.
Evidence? What evidence? There’s nothing here!
Destroying evidence is also a crime.
All Gov't agencies (including Military) have contracts to shred documents for all non-classified material. This has been going on since the 90's. It was part of the paper recycle program and most of our listings and copier paper was required to be recycled. Any classified documents were required to go through a special shredder that just about turned it into powder.

Obama needs to be tried convicted and punished as a traitor.
Not going to happen. Just ignore him in perpetuity.
It HAS to happen, to some degree. Lots of things have happened this year that we might not have thought possible.

Don, I just became a paying subscriber after freeloading for a while. I did so because what you write is literally what’s in my head…or is it the other way around. Either way, keep up the great work. You’re insights are my desert served first thing in the morning.
Thanks
Sorry for Saturday's delay
Speaking of a delay; was there an actual column yesterday (Wednesday)? I missed it entirely but kept checking my e-mail. Huckabee published two on yesterday. I troll his and pay for this one--GLADLY. Very gladly.
Welcome aboard!
Huzzah! Now pony up another 100 Biden Bucks and you can become a Founding Member; and really become somebody. 😊
"Trump finally vanquished Obama." Seems to me more like Obama vanquished Obama. The scum and slime inside him got through the pores of his skin, forming an incurable rash. Wear it proudly Barry, we all see it. Say "hi" to Mike.
Cat Lady News and Come Out of the Closet!!! It’s my favorite part of the win—-Trump beats Obama twice, and the second time he also makes both of the Obamas completely irrelevant from this point forward. The Dem machine is weakened. The MSM is on its last gasp. Polls are lying liars. They’ve got to be both quaking in their boots AND sharpening their knives in DC. Donald John Trump and gang are coming to town AGAIN!
I always wondered if he and Big Mike switched roles in the bedroom. Enquiring minds want to know....
Ick!! Ick! noooooo that is worse than an ear worm song. Mind bleach, mind bleach.
Pass the eye bleach!
*Passed eye bleach to Lawsy
He sure looks a lot skinnier than ever.
Well, he "dismissed" two chefs recently.
dismissed or dispatched?
Is there a difference?
"dispatched" includes a possibility of lethal action.
It ain't long but it sure is skinny.
Their are some things that should be left in the mind unspoken. I'm just glad that Michele hated The White House & D.C. environment. Remember she was always on vacation some where with the girls & Mother. Otherwise we all would be really sick & downcast.
Ditto: "both of the Obamas completely irrelevant" and those two girls they call "theirs".
As a friend of Mrs Callabash would say….’Goodnight Mr Preezy, wherever ya are…..’ (and good riddance….)
