Love the quote by William Wolfe. This is exactly why we love our President. He walks, talks and acts like an iron worker. And why the Karen's and beta-boys hate his guts... and of course the fact he is smarter than 99% of these elitist snobs.
"I'll hire Vanity Hannity (as a Mount Rushmore security guard, midnight-8 am shift). Your ratings in the time slot he vacates will go up 25-50%, no matter who you replace him with."
Thank you for boiling it down to a short sentence that even a Democrat voter can understand - Let us stop labeling good police work as “racial profiling.” 👍🏻
There is still a great many roaring lions in America. They are those found in the heartlands, the real south, the mountain states, and many other areas. They are the quiet ones who have sat and watched and said to themselves, "Surely, our leaders are not as stupid as we think." But the Clintons, at least one of the Bush's, Obama, and the idiot before Trump all kept proving them wrong. Now we have a LEADER, a real one. All those quiet lions are moving to Make America Great Again. Captain John Paul Jones said, "Fight? We have not yet begun to fight." Well, we have begun, and we are a long way from being done. The Bible thumping, gun toting, 'right is right' crowd is coming, and if you aren't a believer, there's a good chance you will become one.
There is absolutely no reason why we should not win the midterms. Actually, we should even surpass the numbers who voted Republican in 2024!
That is, if all the people who voted in ‘24 - and then some- get out and VOTE AGAIN!!
This election is truly on We the People, as Trump has not only delivered on everything he promised, and more, we should be running to the polls to enable him to accomplish even more.
There are a lot of forces out there, people trying to break up the MAGA movement because they see what a monumental threat it is to the globalist’s existence, or worse, their own egos. Like the Massie’s and the Carlson’s and the Marjorie Taylor Greene’s, and of course the entire lunatic Left.
Trump is the George Washington of the Second American Revolution and we cannot afford to go wobbly now when even greater victories lay before us.
He’s done incomprehensibly revolutionary things to right this ship of state, but much, much more needs yet to be accomplished, and the enemies of this country are formidable.
We must vote in these midterms straight ticket Republican, crush the Democrat party into utter meaninglessness, and Restore this Republic to ever greater power and possibility.
VOTE REPUBLICAN. And bring 10 people with you to do likewise.
Quitting now is not an option. It is national suicide.
Yes! We do not have to accept losing as an option if we can get people out to vote. This is not the time to sit one out because you are sick of the do-nothing GOP. Trump deserves to have a full four years of accomplishments for America. There are people all over the world who would love to be able to vote but can’t. We have no excuse if we let this slip away because of laziness and indifference.
You know, the people who listen to the totally biased networks for their news will likely never stop being ignorant. Like the kings of old and the presidents of past years, some people just want to believe what they are comfortable with and pretend it will go on forever. So I think the media is guilty for sure but in my view they are more guilty of keeping the toxic culture alive and using it for clicks. Sure they lie but it’s pretty easy to see it today. I do blame the media for being the cheerleaders who keep stoking the fire that divides our country and keeps us from having any meaningful debate about issues. So many issues like the Covid scam and the Russian collusion lie and the Epstein files and ICE so-called persecution of illegals were pushed to hurt Trump and keep people from talking about real problems. And it worked. The leftist media is on life support and will look vastly different by 2028. And when they get their last paycheck Ihope they all realize they killed their own profession.
We're going to need Trump and Vance do a full-court press beginning after the celebrations of the 250th and they'll have to keep it up thru Election Day---rallies in all the states, lots of interviews with podcasters, Fox News, Newsmax, OAN and local news outlets desperate for exclusive content (and please, stay the heck off of the regular national TV networks, Margaret Brennan on Disgrace the Nation and the like!!). When people know Trump is on the ballot they come out and vote---he's got to come up with a slogan or some such that he can endlessly repeat so people know their lives really depend on voting this November!
But Trump can not do it alone--we have to accept our responsibility as well. And just because a single one of us is not that mighty or in a position of high power-- all of us together in aggregate are a massively powerful force. There are MILLIONS and MILLIONS of us.
But we need to be sensibly deployed, just as you outline above for Trump and Vance.
Our deployment encompasses-- and I have said it before--
--If you don't like the RINO's, you simply HAVE to get involved in the state Republican Party appartuses. The Party apparatus is the RINO's base of power. If MAGA does not go into their domain and root them out, we can not whine if we're unhappy with what they do. And this is not a hard hill to take. We just have to buckle down and do it.
--We HAVE TO keep talking to the liberals and independents, and the previously apathetic, that are in our circles of acquaintance. YES, you need to feel prayerfully led and inspired as to the ones you approach. And you alone are not responsible for the conversion of each one. But if ALL of us are engaging with them, a single liberal should be hearing from several of us, and CUMULATIVELY we can begin to break down their ignorant bubble. And again, it has to be done with genuine respect and kindness, or you're just going on a self-righteous ego-trip.
Bear in mind, you are dealing with people that have to face that they have been wrong, even if we don't force them to crystal-clear acknowledge that. When was the last time YOU realized you were wrong about something very important? It's not easy. Our job is to reach out a hand to them and support them in making a big mental change. Their defenses are up very high. So it actually has to be done with the utmost kindness, if you want to be EFFECTIVE.
There are millions and millions and millions of us. Trump can not do the above two things. We can, and we have to. It already has made a huge difference in awakening America, and it can make another big difference in the midterms. If you're a praying person, pray God to bring to your attention the individuals you are meant to engage with. Engage wisely, but DO ENGAGE.
A good way to engage is to take a lib to the gun range. Go on a weekday morning when it’s not crowded and loud, and just let them shoot a .22 until they’re bored with it. That’s great for breaking the ice.
I’m signed up to be a delegate in blueMA to get the right R guy in for the Governor race. My first time. I may be on a cane coz of a new hip as of a week ago, but I’m goin!
MAGA voters won't be showing up in the same numbers as before despite the pleadings you or any podcaster may make.
They are being ignored by a Congress that does what it wants instead of making good on the promises they made to their constituents (as we all have stated for many years). Donald Trump isn't on the ballot and he's the only one who may get them to the polls. It's the do-nothing Congress that is running in 2026. Look at their approval numbers when you have a moment. What lukewarm voter from 2024 has any commitment to any of these clowns?
Until the everyday 'Joes and Janes' feel like they are being heard again by the broader people representing them in government, they won't be showing up for anything.
Voters have realized from many learning trials that those they elect in midterms to operationalize their policy beliefs never deliver on their promises. Most in Congress (ie. RINOs) love it because it is their effective roadblock of control over Trump while they work to retire as millionaires after a handful of terms.
2024 was an anomaly because it followed a very scary four years of seeing demented Biden and the Dem's choice of Kamala run the country in the face of too-obvious media lies. They over-played their hand.
2024 was a one-time gig. Too many have checked out. Reminding them of their 'Constitutional responsibility' is a joke because their efforts in decades past have always been ignored. Their commitment to vote out of obligation is in extinction.
Shrugged, that is a defeatist attitude and I don't think it's at all accurate.
The vast majority of MAGA voters are WIDE AWAKE and realize that they must support any and every "R", no matter what. MAGA voters will crawl over glass to vote against the Democrats and for the best Republican choice available on the ballot.
And stop generally smearing all the Republicans in Congress. All over the place there are new Republicans in Congress who are former Special Forces and other good folks--they are just beginning to hit their stride and contribute. More Special Forces folks are running for the first time in these midterms. It's counterproductive to indulge in pessimism when good people are putting out their all to get involved and help.
(1) Not all voters are like the ones in your immediate circle. You are the one making generalizations and I think they are short-sighted.
(2) Please explain why nothing is getting done in Congress. We can't even get the SAVE Act. The Dems get more done even when they are in the minority.
I am simply trying to define our problem so it can be fixed in time to help. The more we live in la-la land, the less likely it is we will prevail. Eyes are wide shut in much of MAGA.
And the RINOs are hoping for just such a reaction from voters. To demoralize them into staying home.
That is why we have absolutely no choice but to call their bluff and vote Republican ANYWAY!
They make me as sick as they do you - but to not vote at all is to vote Democrat and that is a literal act of suicide in this day, and at this time in our history.
Sometimes we have to do humiliating and unpleasant things in order to give us the best and only possible chance to continue our pursuit of a better end.
I’m not clear on your point. What ‘humiliating’ things are you referring to?
I am not suggesting anyone stay home and not vote. I certainly won’t.
The RINOs are doing everything in their power to disenfranchise fringe voters from coming back to vote knowing they are all angry at the do-nothing Congress. RINOs are getting their wish by doing nothing!
My point today is simply asking where the voters went and how to attract them back. Guilt-tripping them into their ‘obligation as a citizen’ won’t work.
They are all mad at government and the do-nothing Congress.
Guilt tripping, as I see it, is more like just splashing cold water on a whiner’s face to grasp the big picture. We don’t always get the perfect candidate but you always have to recognize the stakes.
That being said, they need to recognize that a vote for a Republican is more than just that candidate: it is a vote which will allow Trump to continue his work.
I believe the Administration is planning to do a full-on campaign as we get closer mirroring his presidential campaigns to drive home this point.
I don't agree, most of the ones I know are in it to win it and I'm talking from 1930s up, they are eyes wide open, and know that the left will not even talk about politics so that idea is a waste of time. They have TDS and Hegseth hate issues that can't be swayed. Sticking to business, getting SAVE passed and getting people out to vote is the only answer for the midterms, sorry to say. Noting comes easy when winning is the object.
Show the anesthetized some pictures of Hannah Spencer. She recently won a seat in Parliament, held by Labour for decades, because she appealed to the Muslim immigrants. To the tune of some 30k votes if I recall. Wearing a hijab, campaigning in Urdu, and wrapping it up in “green.” That’s the alternative. So. Stay the course. Get out the vote. Or, more Mamdani, Omar, Cortez, Tlaib…and their plays. You choose.
Does anyone have any compromising photos of John Thune? Asking for a friend. Let’s all pray that Ken Paxton gets in today and at least one do-nothing Senator is gone. Thune should learn the lesson, but won’t.
thune is very well paid for his chicanery. he won't (ever) cave to those who don't redistribute assets. just as slick as mcconnell and probably, in the long run, even more evasive.
Seems to me Trump and Israel are purposely not targeting infrastructure that would hinder a successful Iran after this thing is over. No oil fields targeted. No water infrastructure targeted. Certainly no civilian targets.
This military action also has a bad affect for China as they depend on Iranian oil for their nutty plans and hegemony. They lost their Venezuela connection for oil now their Iranian supply is in trouble.
Trump is indeed playing 4 or 5 dimensional chess and the world is finally catching on.
Pray for our soldiers in this action that they call come out okay as possible.
I believe I've said this before, but I'm convinced that 4 years out of office worked wonders for Trump. Watching the Biden disaster sharpened his focus and strengthened his determination ... much like the Israelites wandering through the desert for 40 years, and coming out of it ready to roll. Now all believers among us should pray for the preservation of his health and his spirit.
Just as people in European or Latin American countries who’ve had to live under the boot of authoritarian governments recognize the true aims of the Leftist globalists and are voting for populist candidates.
Too many people in the US are slow to realize that that authoritarianism is what will come here by electing Democrats.
Our defunct educational system has done sooo much damage to their brains and this country. And the media has played an outsized part in making sure they stay ignorant.
I think that's been amply recognized by anybody who watched the flood of lawfare loosened by the Left on Trump and his allies. And his sheer tenacity and fearlessness in wading through all that muck is a feat for the ages.
I like the optimistic realism (or realistic optimism?).
This statement, "He was not going to waste time prosecuting", and the why really explained well the lack of prosecutions. Bukele, the president of El Salvador stated that if you don't impeach corrupt judges, you cannot fix the country. DJT doesn't have the time nor the Republican support. He has to do what he can.
Comms about Trumps plans are tighter than a bulls butt in fly season. You'll know what it is when you see it. Maduro's capture is only one example of his tight hold on communication leaks.
I'm not privy to what's being done about that. I have read about the dust being raised in Fulton County, Georgia, but there ARE plenty of other places that need a good cleaning -- like here in Oregon, which has been a one-party state ever since universal mail-in ballots were foolishly approved by the voters. Considering all that the Trump administration is doing in other areas of concern, I would think, and I sincerely hope, that the Justice department is investigating such places.
I wish Pat Herrity would rattle some Democrats in the Fairfax County Elections agency. Now’s the time since that Islam-ist murdered a woman on FxCo bus transportation a few days ago. That got the attention of plenty of Latino voters, I’m sure, because they also ride those buses. C’mon Fairfax County Republican Women, you can make this a huge issue, but you gotta speak up.
Virginia is lost Amy. Fairfax county has more money than many states and they have no intention of making anything less oppressive for taxpayers. All the building trades are full of illegals. They cater to them. Keep wishing but my wife and I have had enough. We are out of here. Property taxes for us are $1200 a month………just to live here. It is unaffordable.
When I lived in Oregon it appeared that mail in voting was well run. Too well run. Never any controversy. Wonder why? Because Dems own the state legislature.
Yes correct. Oregon was always quirky but pretty balanced. Even with old school Dems as Governor. Then the left started governing like Washington state and California. Its all a delusional power trip on their part.
Your last five words says it all. The world has evolved and people need to stay current on what is going on in Congress. It’s not hard to do. Out of touch voters who just vote for “the nice people” hurt us.
For decades there have been so many areas where the uniparty has kicked the can down the road. All those areas from immigration, education, Venezuela, Iran etc. only got worse as the years went by and became harder to deal with. Well Trump has been tossing those cans in there trash one by one. Each time the Democrats say the policy is going to fail. Wishful thinking on their part.
Not sure about Cotton today. Started well but seems to have started to become a country club member now. TheSenate does it to everyone that ventures there.
Yeah, “lost that loving feeling” has been playing about a lot of so-called conservatives at our house too. The trouble is the culture in Congress. They start well but get overwhelmed by the power of their positions when they become senior in ranking. Another plus for term limits. I worked with many of them and can tell you the sad truth. EVERYTHING they do is about getting reelected. That is job one with them. You would think that getting big jobs done would be enough to keep them in office but they all find out that if they join the club, they only need to convince us they are getting things done. It’s called BS. The big scam. Wish I had the answer other than term limits.
- In March 2022 (117th Congress), the Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act by unanimous consent (no recorded vote, no objections raised at the time). Cotton later said he would have objected if properly informed, due to a staff miscommunication, and he regretted it. The bill stalled in the House and never became law.
- In October 2025 (119th Congress), a renewed bipartisan push (led by Sen. Rick Scott) sought unanimous consent again for a similar bill to make DST permanent. Cotton explicitly objected, blocking the fast-track passage. He delivered a floor speech strongly opposing it, citing historical failures (like the 1974 experiment), risks of dark winter mornings (especially for children and workers), and health concerns favoring permanent standard time instead.
- Cotton stated clearly: "I oppose the Sunshine Protection Act and will always oppose any effort to adopt daylight savings time year round."
No formal recorded roll-call vote has occurred on this issue in the Senate (attempts have been via unanimous consent, which Cotton blocked in 2025). But his objection in 2025 and public opposition mean he has actively worked against making DST permanent—i.e., against repealing the seasonal switch.
Losing the midterms will be the death sentence of MAGA giving Susan Rice her third come-back job assignment since Obama. They'll never make the mistake of leaving a shred of a root of MAGA left to grow again.
Here's the question I wish someone with cred would answer with a detailed explanation: Agreeing that Trump has done almost impossible work - what no man thought possible in such a short time - and that it was what a majority of voters wanted to see happen, why are notable segments of his base not willing to show up and vote for his party to let Trump finish his work and take our country across the finish line? For those voters who depart MAGA in the midterms, why do they think their vote (or non-participation) will provide a better solution?
It is a shame, but our Republicans in congress don't have any interest in inspiring their base to show up and help them make America great again because they don't have the appetite for it. They'll just let Trump do all of the work, and then they'll either snipe at the results or claim credit for them. They are my biggest disappointment - trying to support a team in order to win the game that doesn't actually care if they win or not. I don't think we should blame the base.
In the end, most Republicans in Congress are just politicians trying to make as much money as they can. Doing the right thing never enters their minds.
From my perspective, the only Republican congressional leader in recent times that had any skill was Newt Gingrich. All the rest of our Senate Majority Leaders and Speakers of the House have been worse than pathetic. They have all been the antitheses of leader, and have actually been better forces for their opponents. And cynically, I don't think this shortfall in leadership and direction is an accident or due to actual incompetence.
Speaker Johnson has experienced an epiphany in this last year. I believe he has “seen the light”, and is trying to herd his House of cats to the best of his abilities.
Thune and too many in the Senate are the issue.
But I say, “Tough sh*#” to them. Vote for them ANYWAY. (Or their challenger in primary).
Call their bluff and make them comeback and do the actual hardwork of restoring the Republic. They despise the pressure. Good. Let’s turn up the heat.
I would rather have a Republican Senator who has to deal with his constituency than a Democrat who will do all in their power to cause this country’s ruin.
Amen. Trump has had to work with and endure alot of people that were not up to his level. But he patiently persisted and cordially engaged with them and encouraged them, in order to get to his goal.
Again, you're stereotyping the Republicans in Congress. I understand where you're coming from, Shrugged, and I know you care tremendously and are just frustrated. But it doesn't help anything to "throw the baby out with the bathwater". Treat the Republicans in Congress as individuals, not stereotypes. God is working in many people, in fact everyone, (though not all are responding). Honor the contribution many in Congress are sincerely working to make.
"But it doesn't help anything to "throw the baby out with the bathwater".
Ohhhh, I'd LOVE to throw the babies in Congress out with the bathwater. I can count on two hands how many elected Congress people are authentic MAGA and have fingers left over.
Judge them by their actions not by their words or 'intentions'.
I don't understand the part about Susan Rice. She is truly detestable, but how could she get a job in the Trump administration, even if the midterms are a loss?
She did an interview recently describing out loud what the Democrats plan is if they get back into power.
And that plan is to hunt down, prosecute and destroy the lives of anyone and everyone anywhere who supported President Trump no matter who they are. It was quite the stunning and shameless exposure of the Democrats tyrannical plans to bring utter ruination to this country if they get back.
Yes, I watched the video. Democrats are planning a nationwide purge of anyone Republican or MAGA. Susan Rice promised political persecution for anyone who voted for Trump. That's not counting the rape of the people in taxes that they plan.
That's what I'm saying, the rurals WILL NOT go easily. I suspect many states will secede leaving behind their Sodom and Gemorrah big cities. The military will split as many rural SM will go home and not fight for DC. That means the libs will need to rely on the cities for conscripts to fill the ranks. It's going to be ugly.
Perhaps in spots, making it all the easier for the left to identify and remove the MAGA remnant (most of us).
Remember, we're talking about large segments of people who won't take the time to show up to vote at the midterms. You certainly don't think they'll participate in an ANTIFA style MAGA protest do you?
By magnifying the malignant, Shrugged, you are blinding yourself to the marvelous. Marvelous patriots are abundant in America today. I'm not saying pretend there aren't any malignant. But at least give a fair and balanced account.
no it wouldn't. there aren't enough warriors in the gop or on the right to make that effective. all the warriors are on the left now and they're mostly women in case you haven't noticed.
We discussed this yesterday. There are millions of firearms in the hands in red-blooded Americans in rural America who do not like what is going on in DC. Their livelihoods are being attacked constantly by politicians. They will only take so much when the Dems take full control: remove filibuster, pass every silly law they want, fill the courts with liberal hack lawyers turned corrupt judges. They'll go full climate change, full anti wealth, full socialism/communism. Rural people may not be college educated - but they are not dumb. They will not go gently.
Susan Rice is on the board of Netflix. Should Netflix win the bid for Warner, she (and Obama) would have undue influence over CNN. Consider that TDS scenario.
because a large portion aren't really part of his base. most gop female voters are more feminist than conservative and vote behind closed doors. they keep their powder dry (usually being closely tied to conservative men) and can be swayed come election time.
The "fact" that the mid terms are a done deal and that the Dems will be back in control is nothing more than mind-bending BS preached by the left press. I have hope that the American people will actually vote with their brains instead of their on-the-take wallets- that is for the candidates (Dems) who promise them money to do nothing but stare at their screens and play games.
If only that there was still a loyal opposition in this country. If only there was still a fourth estate that actually believed in America as a light among the nations and functioned as the protector of the people from the overreach of the government rather than the propaganda arm of the Marxist/Democrat/Hate America Party. But we now have a force of nature aka DJT as President who, God willing, will overcome these enemies of the people and this nation and plan B will be realized.
I fear that, if we do not get our elections in order, all that Trump has repaired and created will be overturned by the next stolen Presidential election, and the Communist/Globalists will win for the long term.
Trump isn’t governing like a man pacing himself for eight years. He’s governing like a G.O.A.T. - Tom Brady in the fourth quarter with no timeouts. That’s the difference. He knows history says the House flips. He knows Democrats are betting on the clock. So he’s compressing four years into two. Iran. Venezuela. Tariffs. Border enforcement. Crime. Energy. He’s not asking permission — he’s executing. You can debate the strategy, but you cannot deny the velocity. Washington runs on delay and obstruction; Trump runs on disruption and decision. If he pulls off even half of this before 2026, the midterms won’t be a referendum on chaos — they’ll be a referendum on results.
". . .the midterms won’t be a referendum on chaos — they’ll be a referendum on results."
The voters we need to succeed will likely be asleep at the wheel - as usual. Trump's two years of Olympian policy shift will be undone with Congressional legislation and (later) possible executive orders. By Jan 31 2029, almost all of Trump's gains will be lost if we lose the WH. If we lose the midterms Trump may very well be gone and in prison before there's a 2028 election for Vance/Rubio. If they take out Trump, they will go for VP Vance too.
The Dems will never make the mistake of letting a comeback happen again. It will be brutal.
Geesh, Shrugged, you're making me concerned for you. Today you're almost doing "pessimism porn". I hope it's not because something else in your life is pressing on you right now. If so, my heart goes out to you. You are a good man and you care very deeply about our country. May God bless you and keep you.
Thanks for your concern but everything is fine except the nagging signs of aging. I turn 70 on Friday and I'm starting to feel it.
Regarding today's conversation, the premise in the article is we will likely lose the midterms barring an almost miracle. My first comment for today was simply asking how this can be since we have a President performing miracles on the world's stage and we have majorities in both houses of Congress (and don't tell me it is only slim margin as the Dems get more done even when they are a minority), and we should be in turbo-overdrive on getting MAGA change.
The problem is we aren't even in first gear when it comes to our elected leaders.
I agree with the premise in the article. Why aren't you and all others discussing the implications of it? I guess I get tired of the cheerleading in the face of inaction.
I'll say it again. If we lose the midterms it will be brutal and dangerous.
70 is not old. I knew a cowboy, 13 years older than me and I'm older than you. At 82 he still rose at 4:30 am, made his breakfast then went to feed a thousand plus cattle. He was still branding them as well. I was embarrassed for sleeping until 7. Just be sure to make it a point to always keep moving.
So we can fix bad actors 6,300 miles away but we can't fix them in our own back yard. That is not Trumps fault. That is the American citizens fault beginning with the GOP. Unless God fixes our own mess we will remain a mess.
You are exactly right. God works through means. Whenever I accomplish a task though I always give Him the credit for the work. Apart from Him we can do nothing. In my opinion the very reason we are having to fight the idiots on the left is because of the genocide of our young in the abortion clinics. God hates the spilling of innocent blood especially when His image is on it. So there is a sense that He has bought this judgement against us. Unless He relents and forgives us we are literally going to disappear demographically. I hope you understand what I mean.
Love the quote by William Wolfe. This is exactly why we love our President. He walks, talks and acts like an iron worker. And why the Karen's and beta-boys hate his guts... and of course the fact he is smarter than 99% of these elitist snobs.
DJT is a doer, not a talker. It makes all the difference in the world and the world no longer has enough doers.
03/03/26: Trump, to Fox News:
"I'll hire Vanity Hannity (as a Mount Rushmore security guard, midnight-8 am shift). Your ratings in the time slot he vacates will go up 25-50%, no matter who you replace him with."
News Corps: "DEAL!"
03/03/26: Trump, to Fox News:
"Get in line, or I'll send Tucker Carlson back to you as the head of the FCC!"
Don’t quite know whether to be alarmed or amused at that one!
03/03/26: Go with "amused" (!). Tucker has salted enough money away and will never have to report to anyone else for the rest of his life.
True. He certainly has become Stock for Laughing these days.
Thank you for boiling it down to a short sentence that even a Democrat voter can understand - Let us stop labeling good police work as “racial profiling.” 👍🏻
You gotta fish where the fish are. Good fishermen and cops know this.
Successful investigations are merely the results of pattern recognition. Sometimes the pattern never changes.
Illegals from Mexico are much easier to spot in black communities though.
There is still a great many roaring lions in America. They are those found in the heartlands, the real south, the mountain states, and many other areas. They are the quiet ones who have sat and watched and said to themselves, "Surely, our leaders are not as stupid as we think." But the Clintons, at least one of the Bush's, Obama, and the idiot before Trump all kept proving them wrong. Now we have a LEADER, a real one. All those quiet lions are moving to Make America Great Again. Captain John Paul Jones said, "Fight? We have not yet begun to fight." Well, we have begun, and we are a long way from being done. The Bible thumping, gun toting, 'right is right' crowd is coming, and if you aren't a believer, there's a good chance you will become one.
I pray you are right John🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great comment, now get the conservative you know out to vote in the midterms.
There is absolutely no reason why we should not win the midterms. Actually, we should even surpass the numbers who voted Republican in 2024!
That is, if all the people who voted in ‘24 - and then some- get out and VOTE AGAIN!!
This election is truly on We the People, as Trump has not only delivered on everything he promised, and more, we should be running to the polls to enable him to accomplish even more.
There are a lot of forces out there, people trying to break up the MAGA movement because they see what a monumental threat it is to the globalist’s existence, or worse, their own egos. Like the Massie’s and the Carlson’s and the Marjorie Taylor Greene’s, and of course the entire lunatic Left.
Trump is the George Washington of the Second American Revolution and we cannot afford to go wobbly now when even greater victories lay before us.
He’s done incomprehensibly revolutionary things to right this ship of state, but much, much more needs yet to be accomplished, and the enemies of this country are formidable.
We must vote in these midterms straight ticket Republican, crush the Democrat party into utter meaninglessness, and Restore this Republic to ever greater power and possibility.
VOTE REPUBLICAN. And bring 10 people with you to do likewise.
Quitting now is not an option. It is national suicide.
Yes! We do not have to accept losing as an option if we can get people out to vote. This is not the time to sit one out because you are sick of the do-nothing GOP. Trump deserves to have a full four years of accomplishments for America. There are people all over the world who would love to be able to vote but can’t. We have no excuse if we let this slip away because of laziness and indifference.
The real job is overcoming the utterly blatantly biased bovine scat from the media 24/7 and convincing people to use the brains GOD gave them Redd.
You know, the people who listen to the totally biased networks for their news will likely never stop being ignorant. Like the kings of old and the presidents of past years, some people just want to believe what they are comfortable with and pretend it will go on forever. So I think the media is guilty for sure but in my view they are more guilty of keeping the toxic culture alive and using it for clicks. Sure they lie but it’s pretty easy to see it today. I do blame the media for being the cheerleaders who keep stoking the fire that divides our country and keeps us from having any meaningful debate about issues. So many issues like the Covid scam and the Russian collusion lie and the Epstein files and ICE so-called persecution of illegals were pushed to hurt Trump and keep people from talking about real problems. And it worked. The leftist media is on life support and will look vastly different by 2028. And when they get their last paycheck Ihope they all realize they killed their own profession.
We're going to need Trump and Vance do a full-court press beginning after the celebrations of the 250th and they'll have to keep it up thru Election Day---rallies in all the states, lots of interviews with podcasters, Fox News, Newsmax, OAN and local news outlets desperate for exclusive content (and please, stay the heck off of the regular national TV networks, Margaret Brennan on Disgrace the Nation and the like!!). When people know Trump is on the ballot they come out and vote---he's got to come up with a slogan or some such that he can endlessly repeat so people know their lives really depend on voting this November!
But Trump can not do it alone--we have to accept our responsibility as well. And just because a single one of us is not that mighty or in a position of high power-- all of us together in aggregate are a massively powerful force. There are MILLIONS and MILLIONS of us.
But we need to be sensibly deployed, just as you outline above for Trump and Vance.
Our deployment encompasses-- and I have said it before--
--If you don't like the RINO's, you simply HAVE to get involved in the state Republican Party appartuses. The Party apparatus is the RINO's base of power. If MAGA does not go into their domain and root them out, we can not whine if we're unhappy with what they do. And this is not a hard hill to take. We just have to buckle down and do it.
--We HAVE TO keep talking to the liberals and independents, and the previously apathetic, that are in our circles of acquaintance. YES, you need to feel prayerfully led and inspired as to the ones you approach. And you alone are not responsible for the conversion of each one. But if ALL of us are engaging with them, a single liberal should be hearing from several of us, and CUMULATIVELY we can begin to break down their ignorant bubble. And again, it has to be done with genuine respect and kindness, or you're just going on a self-righteous ego-trip.
Bear in mind, you are dealing with people that have to face that they have been wrong, even if we don't force them to crystal-clear acknowledge that. When was the last time YOU realized you were wrong about something very important? It's not easy. Our job is to reach out a hand to them and support them in making a big mental change. Their defenses are up very high. So it actually has to be done with the utmost kindness, if you want to be EFFECTIVE.
There are millions and millions and millions of us. Trump can not do the above two things. We can, and we have to. It already has made a huge difference in awakening America, and it can make another big difference in the midterms. If you're a praying person, pray God to bring to your attention the individuals you are meant to engage with. Engage wisely, but DO ENGAGE.
A good way to engage is to take a lib to the gun range. Go on a weekday morning when it’s not crowded and loud, and just let them shoot a .22 until they’re bored with it. That’s great for breaking the ice.
Tea Party Gal -
I’m signed up to be a delegate in blueMA to get the right R guy in for the Governor race. My first time. I may be on a cane coz of a new hip as of a week ago, but I’m goin!
MAGA voters won't be showing up in the same numbers as before despite the pleadings you or any podcaster may make.
They are being ignored by a Congress that does what it wants instead of making good on the promises they made to their constituents (as we all have stated for many years). Donald Trump isn't on the ballot and he's the only one who may get them to the polls. It's the do-nothing Congress that is running in 2026. Look at their approval numbers when you have a moment. What lukewarm voter from 2024 has any commitment to any of these clowns?
Until the everyday 'Joes and Janes' feel like they are being heard again by the broader people representing them in government, they won't be showing up for anything.
Voters have realized from many learning trials that those they elect in midterms to operationalize their policy beliefs never deliver on their promises. Most in Congress (ie. RINOs) love it because it is their effective roadblock of control over Trump while they work to retire as millionaires after a handful of terms.
2024 was an anomaly because it followed a very scary four years of seeing demented Biden and the Dem's choice of Kamala run the country in the face of too-obvious media lies. They over-played their hand.
2024 was a one-time gig. Too many have checked out. Reminding them of their 'Constitutional responsibility' is a joke because their efforts in decades past have always been ignored. Their commitment to vote out of obligation is in extinction.
Shrugged, that is a defeatist attitude and I don't think it's at all accurate.
The vast majority of MAGA voters are WIDE AWAKE and realize that they must support any and every "R", no matter what. MAGA voters will crawl over glass to vote against the Democrats and for the best Republican choice available on the ballot.
And stop generally smearing all the Republicans in Congress. All over the place there are new Republicans in Congress who are former Special Forces and other good folks--they are just beginning to hit their stride and contribute. More Special Forces folks are running for the first time in these midterms. It's counterproductive to indulge in pessimism when good people are putting out their all to get involved and help.
Two thoughts:
(1) Not all voters are like the ones in your immediate circle. You are the one making generalizations and I think they are short-sighted.
(2) Please explain why nothing is getting done in Congress. We can't even get the SAVE Act. The Dems get more done even when they are in the minority.
I am simply trying to define our problem so it can be fixed in time to help. The more we live in la-la land, the less likely it is we will prevail. Eyes are wide shut in much of MAGA.
And the RINOs are hoping for just such a reaction from voters. To demoralize them into staying home.
That is why we have absolutely no choice but to call their bluff and vote Republican ANYWAY!
They make me as sick as they do you - but to not vote at all is to vote Democrat and that is a literal act of suicide in this day, and at this time in our history.
Sometimes we have to do humiliating and unpleasant things in order to give us the best and only possible chance to continue our pursuit of a better end.
I’m not clear on your point. What ‘humiliating’ things are you referring to?
I am not suggesting anyone stay home and not vote. I certainly won’t.
The RINOs are doing everything in their power to disenfranchise fringe voters from coming back to vote knowing they are all angry at the do-nothing Congress. RINOs are getting their wish by doing nothing!
My point today is simply asking where the voters went and how to attract them back. Guilt-tripping them into their ‘obligation as a citizen’ won’t work.
They are all mad at government and the do-nothing Congress.
The best reason to vote R is the PDJT cabinet and the work they are accomplishing under the vision of PDJT .
Guilt tripping, as I see it, is more like just splashing cold water on a whiner’s face to grasp the big picture. We don’t always get the perfect candidate but you always have to recognize the stakes.
That being said, they need to recognize that a vote for a Republican is more than just that candidate: it is a vote which will allow Trump to continue his work.
I believe the Administration is planning to do a full-on campaign as we get closer mirroring his presidential campaigns to drive home this point.
I don't agree, most of the ones I know are in it to win it and I'm talking from 1930s up, they are eyes wide open, and know that the left will not even talk about politics so that idea is a waste of time. They have TDS and Hegseth hate issues that can't be swayed. Sticking to business, getting SAVE passed and getting people out to vote is the only answer for the midterms, sorry to say. Noting comes easy when winning is the object.
Show the anesthetized some pictures of Hannah Spencer. She recently won a seat in Parliament, held by Labour for decades, because she appealed to the Muslim immigrants. To the tune of some 30k votes if I recall. Wearing a hijab, campaigning in Urdu, and wrapping it up in “green.” That’s the alternative. So. Stay the course. Get out the vote. Or, more Mamdani, Omar, Cortez, Tlaib…and their plays. You choose.
Does anyone have any compromising photos of John Thune? Asking for a friend. Let’s all pray that Ken Paxton gets in today and at least one do-nothing Senator is gone. Thune should learn the lesson, but won’t.
thune is very well paid for his chicanery. he won't (ever) cave to those who don't redistribute assets. just as slick as mcconnell and probably, in the long run, even more evasive.
Ken Paxton 💯
lol. Spouse and i were musing about this just yesterday.
Seems to me Trump and Israel are purposely not targeting infrastructure that would hinder a successful Iran after this thing is over. No oil fields targeted. No water infrastructure targeted. Certainly no civilian targets.
This military action also has a bad affect for China as they depend on Iranian oil for their nutty plans and hegemony. They lost their Venezuela connection for oil now their Iranian supply is in trouble.
Trump is indeed playing 4 or 5 dimensional chess and the world is finally catching on.
Pray for our soldiers in this action that they call come out okay as possible.
I believe I've said this before, but I'm convinced that 4 years out of office worked wonders for Trump. Watching the Biden disaster sharpened his focus and strengthened his determination ... much like the Israelites wandering through the desert for 40 years, and coming out of it ready to roll. Now all believers among us should pray for the preservation of his health and his spirit.
Just as people in European or Latin American countries who’ve had to live under the boot of authoritarian governments recognize the true aims of the Leftist globalists and are voting for populist candidates.
Too many people in the US are slow to realize that that authoritarianism is what will come here by electing Democrats.
Our defunct educational system has done sooo much damage to their brains and this country. And the media has played an outsized part in making sure they stay ignorant.
I think that's been amply recognized by anybody who watched the flood of lawfare loosened by the Left on Trump and his allies. And his sheer tenacity and fearlessness in wading through all that muck is a feat for the ages.
I like the optimistic realism (or realistic optimism?).
This statement, "He was not going to waste time prosecuting", and the why really explained well the lack of prosecutions. Bukele, the president of El Salvador stated that if you don't impeach corrupt judges, you cannot fix the country. DJT doesn't have the time nor the Republican support. He has to do what he can.
Great post, Don.
Call me a Pollyanna, but I’m expecting a Trump blitzkrieg aimed at the House beginning in July/August-timed to when voters start paying attention.
They better pay attention sooner than that...primaries count.
That, plus hopefully less cheating at the polls.
other than hope...what's the plan a (that you are aware of)?
Comms about Trumps plans are tighter than a bulls butt in fly season. You'll know what it is when you see it. Maduro's capture is only one example of his tight hold on communication leaks.
Yet another reason the dems are running around with their hair on fire. They can't leak what they don't know.
Awesome analogy 😳🤣
I'm not privy to what's being done about that. I have read about the dust being raised in Fulton County, Georgia, but there ARE plenty of other places that need a good cleaning -- like here in Oregon, which has been a one-party state ever since universal mail-in ballots were foolishly approved by the voters. Considering all that the Trump administration is doing in other areas of concern, I would think, and I sincerely hope, that the Justice department is investigating such places.
I wish Pat Herrity would rattle some Democrats in the Fairfax County Elections agency. Now’s the time since that Islam-ist murdered a woman on FxCo bus transportation a few days ago. That got the attention of plenty of Latino voters, I’m sure, because they also ride those buses. C’mon Fairfax County Republican Women, you can make this a huge issue, but you gotta speak up.
Virginia is lost Amy. Fairfax county has more money than many states and they have no intention of making anything less oppressive for taxpayers. All the building trades are full of illegals. They cater to them. Keep wishing but my wife and I have had enough. We are out of here. Property taxes for us are $1200 a month………just to live here. It is unaffordable.
The unemployed former government workers are unhappy and will vote against anyone and anything Trump related. It is very hostile territory.
Getting heard on the left coast media is very hard, though if you don't try you won't be heard.
Judicial Watch has been doing a great job in many states as well.
When I lived in Oregon it appeared that mail in voting was well run. Too well run. Never any controversy. Wonder why? Because Dems own the state legislature.
They own it thanks to mail-in voting, that's why. Go back before that happened, and you find that politically, Oregon was a fairly balanced state.
Yes correct. Oregon was always quirky but pretty balanced. Even with old school Dems as Governor. Then the left started governing like Washington state and California. Its all a delusional power trip on their part.
Congress could go a long way to fixing this, but they don’t. Time to get pointed with the people who can fix it.
Your last five words says it all. The world has evolved and people need to stay current on what is going on in Congress. It’s not hard to do. Out of touch voters who just vote for “the nice people” hurt us.
For decades there have been so many areas where the uniparty has kicked the can down the road. All those areas from immigration, education, Venezuela, Iran etc. only got worse as the years went by and became harder to deal with. Well Trump has been tossing those cans in there trash one by one. Each time the Democrats say the policy is going to fail. Wishful thinking on their part.
I’m just here to protest the return of Daylight Saving Time next Sunday. Noon should be Noon.
It passed the House, but Tom Cotton blocked the bill in the Senate to eliminate this nonsense.
Not sure about Cotton today. Started well but seems to have started to become a country club member now. TheSenate does it to everyone that ventures there.
Ditto - a few years ago both my wife & I thought highly of Cotton & considered him a future President possibility - now, we've lost that feeling.
Yeah, “lost that loving feeling” has been playing about a lot of so-called conservatives at our house too. The trouble is the culture in Congress. They start well but get overwhelmed by the power of their positions when they become senior in ranking. Another plus for term limits. I worked with many of them and can tell you the sad truth. EVERYTHING they do is about getting reelected. That is job one with them. You would think that getting big jobs done would be enough to keep them in office but they all find out that if they join the club, they only need to convince us they are getting things done. It’s called BS. The big scam. Wish I had the answer other than term limits.
True - the # 1 priority right after an election is to immediately start raising money for the next election - everything else is secondary.
I strongly oppose the Sunshine Protection Act
Key facts:
- In March 2022 (117th Congress), the Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act by unanimous consent (no recorded vote, no objections raised at the time). Cotton later said he would have objected if properly informed, due to a staff miscommunication, and he regretted it. The bill stalled in the House and never became law.
- In October 2025 (119th Congress), a renewed bipartisan push (led by Sen. Rick Scott) sought unanimous consent again for a similar bill to make DST permanent. Cotton explicitly objected, blocking the fast-track passage. He delivered a floor speech strongly opposing it, citing historical failures (like the 1974 experiment), risks of dark winter mornings (especially for children and workers), and health concerns favoring permanent standard time instead.
- Cotton stated clearly: "I oppose the Sunshine Protection Act and will always oppose any effort to adopt daylight savings time year round."
No formal recorded roll-call vote has occurred on this issue in the Senate (attempts have been via unanimous consent, which Cotton blocked in 2025). But his objection in 2025 and public opposition mean he has actively worked against making DST permanent—i.e., against repealing the seasonal switch.
Good to know
Losing the midterms will be the death sentence of MAGA giving Susan Rice her third come-back job assignment since Obama. They'll never make the mistake of leaving a shred of a root of MAGA left to grow again.
Here's the question I wish someone with cred would answer with a detailed explanation: Agreeing that Trump has done almost impossible work - what no man thought possible in such a short time - and that it was what a majority of voters wanted to see happen, why are notable segments of his base not willing to show up and vote for his party to let Trump finish his work and take our country across the finish line? For those voters who depart MAGA in the midterms, why do they think their vote (or non-participation) will provide a better solution?
It is a shame, but our Republicans in congress don't have any interest in inspiring their base to show up and help them make America great again because they don't have the appetite for it. They'll just let Trump do all of the work, and then they'll either snipe at the results or claim credit for them. They are my biggest disappointment - trying to support a team in order to win the game that doesn't actually care if they win or not. I don't think we should blame the base.
In the end, most Republicans in Congress are just politicians trying to make as much money as they can. Doing the right thing never enters their minds.
From my perspective, the only Republican congressional leader in recent times that had any skill was Newt Gingrich. All the rest of our Senate Majority Leaders and Speakers of the House have been worse than pathetic. They have all been the antitheses of leader, and have actually been better forces for their opponents. And cynically, I don't think this shortfall in leadership and direction is an accident or due to actual incompetence.
Speaker Johnson has experienced an epiphany in this last year. I believe he has “seen the light”, and is trying to herd his House of cats to the best of his abilities.
Thune and too many in the Senate are the issue.
But I say, “Tough sh*#” to them. Vote for them ANYWAY. (Or their challenger in primary).
Call their bluff and make them comeback and do the actual hardwork of restoring the Republic. They despise the pressure. Good. Let’s turn up the heat.
I would rather have a Republican Senator who has to deal with his constituency than a Democrat who will do all in their power to cause this country’s ruin.
Amen. Trump has had to work with and endure alot of people that were not up to his level. But he patiently persisted and cordially engaged with them and encouraged them, in order to get to his goal.
We need to be savvy like this as well.
Need more like OK, M.W. Mullins who filleted Bernie the socialist last week and PDJT will thrive.
Hear hear. Or harumph harumph.
Some are well meaning, but just lazy. Some just believe that membership means they don’t have to work for a living. Same result.
The R's in Congress are more comfortable sleeping with the lowest of the Dems than representing the will of the majority.
Thune and Johnson are our biggest enemies regardless of what they've done on small issues/votes here or there.
Trump is still a one-man band with a handful of merry (and effective) followers in his cabinet.
Again, you're stereotyping the Republicans in Congress. I understand where you're coming from, Shrugged, and I know you care tremendously and are just frustrated. But it doesn't help anything to "throw the baby out with the bathwater". Treat the Republicans in Congress as individuals, not stereotypes. God is working in many people, in fact everyone, (though not all are responding). Honor the contribution many in Congress are sincerely working to make.
"But it doesn't help anything to "throw the baby out with the bathwater".
Ohhhh, I'd LOVE to throw the babies in Congress out with the bathwater. I can count on two hands how many elected Congress people are authentic MAGA and have fingers left over.
Judge them by their actions not by their words or 'intentions'.
Far too many people are single issue voters who cannot see the big picture...
I don't understand the part about Susan Rice. She is truly detestable, but how could she get a job in the Trump administration, even if the midterms are a loss?
She did an interview recently describing out loud what the Democrats plan is if they get back into power.
And that plan is to hunt down, prosecute and destroy the lives of anyone and everyone anywhere who supported President Trump no matter who they are. It was quite the stunning and shameless exposure of the Democrats tyrannical plans to bring utter ruination to this country if they get back.
Yes, I watched the video. Democrats are planning a nationwide purge of anyone Republican or MAGA. Susan Rice promised political persecution for anyone who voted for Trump. That's not counting the rape of the people in taxes that they plan.
And you KNOW ValJar and the Obamessiah were right behind Rice in planning this retribution; where is a good meteor strike when you need it?
That's what I'm saying, the rurals WILL NOT go easily. I suspect many states will secede leaving behind their Sodom and Gemorrah big cities. The military will split as many rural SM will go home and not fight for DC. That means the libs will need to rely on the cities for conscripts to fill the ranks. It's going to be ugly.
Sounds like a good reason for a civil uprising ; I don't think the country will stand for Dim rule .
Impeachment after 2026 and the House takeover. Rice has been effectively working behind the scenes since Obama departed in 2012.
The greatest damage is done from those who are invisible. USAID proved that.
That is chilling. A loss of congress and impeachment of trump and vance would start a hot civil war.
Perhaps in spots, making it all the easier for the left to identify and remove the MAGA remnant (most of us).
Remember, we're talking about large segments of people who won't take the time to show up to vote at the midterms. You certainly don't think they'll participate in an ANTIFA style MAGA protest do you?
By magnifying the malignant, Shrugged, you are blinding yourself to the marvelous. Marvelous patriots are abundant in America today. I'm not saying pretend there aren't any malignant. But at least give a fair and balanced account.
Let me ask it again.
Q: Why isn't anything getting done?
A: Because they are all running out the clock until the midterms - even more than half (possibly 2/3) of the R's in Congress.
no it wouldn't. there aren't enough warriors in the gop or on the right to make that effective. all the warriors are on the left now and they're mostly women in case you haven't noticed.
We discussed this yesterday. There are millions of firearms in the hands in red-blooded Americans in rural America who do not like what is going on in DC. Their livelihoods are being attacked constantly by politicians. They will only take so much when the Dems take full control: remove filibuster, pass every silly law they want, fill the courts with liberal hack lawyers turned corrupt judges. They'll go full climate change, full anti wealth, full socialism/communism. Rural people may not be college educated - but they are not dumb. They will not go gently.
in half the country...they already have.
Susan Rice is on the board of Netflix. Should Netflix win the bid for Warner, she (and Obama) would have undue influence over CNN. Consider that TDS scenario.
They pulled out. Paramount is going to get it.
The whole deal was seen as 100% political control:
https://revolver.news/2026/03/we-now-know-what-derailed-netflix-warner-bros-deal-tampons-in-the-guys-bathroom/
But, they'll find other ways to achieve position.
Tampon Tim messes up the works again!
If he isn't indicted before the midterms, voter skepticism of the DOJ ignoring obvious crimes will become abandonment of MAGA.
They won't show up because it will be proof that votes never change anything.
because a large portion aren't really part of his base. most gop female voters are more feminist than conservative and vote behind closed doors. they keep their powder dry (usually being closely tied to conservative men) and can be swayed come election time.
that's how i see it.
You just pissed off millions of AWFLs.
You may need to consider personal security measures . . . .
almost 78 so i have no filter anymore. calls 'em as i see's 'em lol.
That's the $64.000.00 question. Some think it's just laziness - too busy, so let the others vote.
The "fact" that the mid terms are a done deal and that the Dems will be back in control is nothing more than mind-bending BS preached by the left press. I have hope that the American people will actually vote with their brains instead of their on-the-take wallets- that is for the candidates (Dems) who promise them money to do nothing but stare at their screens and play games.
If only that there was still a loyal opposition in this country. If only there was still a fourth estate that actually believed in America as a light among the nations and functioned as the protector of the people from the overreach of the government rather than the propaganda arm of the Marxist/Democrat/Hate America Party. But we now have a force of nature aka DJT as President who, God willing, will overcome these enemies of the people and this nation and plan B will be realized.
This we pray.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!
I fear that, if we do not get our elections in order, all that Trump has repaired and created will be overturned by the next stolen Presidential election, and the Communist/Globalists will win for the long term.
Trump isn’t governing like a man pacing himself for eight years. He’s governing like a G.O.A.T. - Tom Brady in the fourth quarter with no timeouts. That’s the difference. He knows history says the House flips. He knows Democrats are betting on the clock. So he’s compressing four years into two. Iran. Venezuela. Tariffs. Border enforcement. Crime. Energy. He’s not asking permission — he’s executing. You can debate the strategy, but you cannot deny the velocity. Washington runs on delay and obstruction; Trump runs on disruption and decision. If he pulls off even half of this before 2026, the midterms won’t be a referendum on chaos — they’ll be a referendum on results.
". . .the midterms won’t be a referendum on chaos — they’ll be a referendum on results."
The voters we need to succeed will likely be asleep at the wheel - as usual. Trump's two years of Olympian policy shift will be undone with Congressional legislation and (later) possible executive orders. By Jan 31 2029, almost all of Trump's gains will be lost if we lose the WH. If we lose the midterms Trump may very well be gone and in prison before there's a 2028 election for Vance/Rubio. If they take out Trump, they will go for VP Vance too.
The Dems will never make the mistake of letting a comeback happen again. It will be brutal.
Geesh, Shrugged, you're making me concerned for you. Today you're almost doing "pessimism porn". I hope it's not because something else in your life is pressing on you right now. If so, my heart goes out to you. You are a good man and you care very deeply about our country. May God bless you and keep you.
Thanks for your concern but everything is fine except the nagging signs of aging. I turn 70 on Friday and I'm starting to feel it.
Regarding today's conversation, the premise in the article is we will likely lose the midterms barring an almost miracle. My first comment for today was simply asking how this can be since we have a President performing miracles on the world's stage and we have majorities in both houses of Congress (and don't tell me it is only slim margin as the Dems get more done even when they are a minority), and we should be in turbo-overdrive on getting MAGA change.
The problem is we aren't even in first gear when it comes to our elected leaders.
I agree with the premise in the article. Why aren't you and all others discussing the implications of it? I guess I get tired of the cheerleading in the face of inaction.
I'll say it again. If we lose the midterms it will be brutal and dangerous.
Susan Rice wasn't kidding.
70 is not old. I knew a cowboy, 13 years older than me and I'm older than you. At 82 he still rose at 4:30 am, made his breakfast then went to feed a thousand plus cattle. He was still branding them as well. I was embarrassed for sleeping until 7. Just be sure to make it a point to always keep moving.
You are right, and, thank you for the advice.
So we can fix bad actors 6,300 miles away but we can't fix them in our own back yard. That is not Trumps fault. That is the American citizens fault beginning with the GOP. Unless God fixes our own mess we will remain a mess.
It is not God’s job to fix our problems, it is ours. God gives us the tools we need, but WE must do the work. You should know that.
You are exactly right. God works through means. Whenever I accomplish a task though I always give Him the credit for the work. Apart from Him we can do nothing. In my opinion the very reason we are having to fight the idiots on the left is because of the genocide of our young in the abortion clinics. God hates the spilling of innocent blood especially when His image is on it. So there is a sense that He has bought this judgement against us. Unless He relents and forgives us we are literally going to disappear demographically. I hope you understand what I mean.
