It was great! I'm watching MSNBC, why are they still saying President Trump wants a Muslim ban?? Why are they saying he doesn't want immigrants coming the this country?? Unbelievable!! Are they on drugs?? Shameful. But I guess for a tv show (not news) it's getting some viewership. | ||

President Trump hits it out of the park in straightaway center field. The democrats' official response (besides sitting on their hands, wearing their white KKK robes ((I guess they thought this would be less obvious than wearing pussy hats?)) and then literally BOLTING after P45's speech)? An infomercial!  (Image source: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/02/28/we ird-no-democrats-replace-rebuttal-speech-with-lune sta-sleeping-aid-commercial/) Too much winning!  | ||

It was an amazing speech. Extremely well presented, no yelling, no "look at me". I voted for the man...and *I* was impressed. And I admit I flat-out LOVED the "you shot my dog" look on the faces of the Dems. The tribute to Mrs. Owens and the late Senior Chief Petty Officer Owens brought tears to my eyes. First, when she remained seated as she was introduced - more, when she stood and applauded after the President of the United States of America told her, in no uncertain terms on (inter)national television...that her husband was a hero whose sacrifice will enable the USA to win more battles in the future. This...is the start of the wake-up call this country has needed. The snowball who had a chance in hell...is rolling downhill and is now about the size of a bowling ball. And growing. Even the MSM wasn't...awful. They're starting, at least, to acknowledge the fact that there IS another side to things. That people DO support him and the Republicans. And that...maybe...possibly...there's something to all this. Although they're still not listening when it comes to ILLEGAL immigration (the merit-based system makes too much sense and it's about ••••••• time the USA did something like that!), and health care (fact of that matter is, rates HAVE gone through the roof and the system does NOT work)...but some progress is better than none. I started to watch the speech on Fox last night but figured "nah...lemme go to the enemy" and switched to NBC to see how bad they hit him. They weren't hateful. Still remnants of the 5 year old kid holding his breath because he wants a cookie...but the kid is starting to lose focus it seems. | ||

Some of the fears that I have been hearing were about Trump being about Trump. In it for himself. I am seeing the opposite. A real patriot in it for America. I still have some mild fears of him being in it for himself. Then again, I understand that he understands that making American companies more competitive in the world will do yuge things for his personal empire. I have zero problem with that. It's a win-win! DOW 21,000 at the open today! YUGE! Will the MSM continue to ignore this? | ||

Watching President Trump's address to congress; so many democrats don't know what to do with their hands. You can see them discussing with eachother, "do we clap for this issue?" He's doing things to help the citizens of the USA and these beta males and females are up there trying to figure out whether their actions should convey that they support the American public or the democratic politburo. Phonies. Just as many on the right are phonies, I have no doubt. It's just fun to watch the left squirm in their seats. | ||

I think Trump is, as was evidenced by the speech the other night, restoring confidence in American's view of our collective future. If he does half of what he indicates, creates "millions" (his words) of jobs, builds pipelines with American Made pipe, come through on that $1,000,000,000,000 of infrastructure spending . . . . it's going to be a return to the American economy that was the envy of the world. By lowering taxes and dispatching useless (not the ones we need) regulations and creating demand for American goods and labor . . . these "millions" of new participants in the work force will be paying state, federal and sales taxes that should both fund the growth and do much to diminish the national debt. When America works . . . everybody wins. I had a decent year (earnings down about 30% but they'll go way up this year) but the enthusiasm and markets are fueling incredible demand for construction services. I started my own ballers rolling, to help the economy, by buying 2 new cars so far this year. That money goes to workers, plants and vendors who all pay taxes and contribute. It starts with attitude. Obama made us, as he toured the world apologizing for America and Americans, us feel collectively like a bunch of heels. It's nice to "be back". | ||

I'm also optimistic. I left my job about a month ago, so I could handle some projects (mainly a rental apartment renovation) that simply weren't getting done...and need to be finished. I'm losing tens of thousands of dollars not having this apartment done and rented. So...I made a choice. And, I'm not scared about finding a new "day gig" when the time comes. There's a lot out there. My sound company continues to grow - without any advertising whatsoever! Once I get the apartment done, there's more income there. I think this will be good for all of us...if the Dems decide to either play along for the good of the country (and screw "party affiliations"), or just get the hell out of the way and let it happen. I'm more optimistic now - technically "unemployed" - than I was when I was working and making a "good" income. | ||

If things improve, the Dems will play along begrudgingly so they can claim credit in the next election cycle. | ||

There's no way the Dems can claim to be part of any improvement. They are the minority in all branches. Even if they go along, the Republicans are driving the bus. At this point they are probably realizing they have 2 options ... go along for the ride or get run over by the Bus. (Message edited by Macbuell on March 02, 2017) | ||

If things improve, the Dems will play along begrudgingly so they can claim credit in the next election cycle. Long as they get out of the way long enough to allow things to improve... At this point they [the Dems] are probably realizing they have 2 options ... go along for the ride or get run over by the Bus. The following may sound incredibly snarky and disrespectful, but I mean it to be neither: We are at war; hand-to-hand combat for control of our country is going on right before our eyes. Well, that's not entirely true: The combat is going on, but some of you aren't seeing it. Why? Because you're not being your own news detective. How do I know this? Because, in part, of the three comments I highlighted above. We are at war, as we speak. This is a fight to the death. There is NO "getting along" or "getting out of the way" going on. ZERO. Nor will there be. We. Are. At. War. PERIOD. Please pay attention. Turn off your TV, and/or put down your newspaper, and PLEASE pay attention. I apologized in advance for the tone of my post, and I apologize again in closing. FB | ||

No offense taken. I am aware of (and disgusted by) the state of affairs in DC. I grew up a half mile outside the beltway and have been exposed to it all my life. Admittedly I moved away from the beltway for college and have stayed away, in order to keep it out of my daily life as far as running into these morons when at the grocery store, gas station, and mall. But...it affects every aspect of my daily life. I'm aware they won't "get out of the way" - it's not in their nature as a whole. The group (Democrats) are too brainwashed, too self-important, to EVER accept another belief set (or to even admit one exists). I don't expect the party to ever budge. MY hope is, the individuals - and there were a couple standing and applauding at the speech - will start to understand, much the way I hope that most Americans will start to understand what's going on. Looking at some poll results (I know...), we are starting to see some evidence that Democrat *voters* are starting to eschew the Democrat party, and support/understand the theme of the Trump administration. The voters are starting to admit this. More importantly? The MSM is starting to PUBLICIZE this. I don't expect the politicians to admit...well...ANYthing. But if those individuals can't come out in the open and state "I'm for Trump", maybe those individuals can quietly start to support; quietly allow/aid progress; and quietly erode the Democratic party. Like Trump's victory - it doesn't have to be out in the open, on the front page. It can be a "movement". It can be quiet. It can be individuals, choosing on their own, as opposed to having to be a wide-open party adjustment. And I suspect that if things do change, and if the Dems do start to lose some support and they lose some of these individuals...it WILL be quietly. For now, at least. Having lived that close to the Fruit Loop? I also firmly believe (because this is the way it works) that once the Trump plan starts to be enacted, and people at large start to see the merit and the successes...support will become more public and more open and more widespread. And then, hopefully, the socialist/communist/hate-ist Democrat ruling class will be truly sent underground or eradicated altogether. But first, we need to see concrete success on all levels. The Market numbers are inspiring; the poll conversion numbers are positive; the overall "feel" of the nation is positive (and that was one big thing I noted when I was on foot, on the mall, for the Inauguration - positive, polite, enthusiastic, RESPECT from the entire crowd!)...but we need to see concrete results. Consistently. I'm hopeful. I'm optimistic. But I'm cautious. And believe you me, if anything happens to make the 2nd Amendment more accessible here in the Peoples Republik der Marylanden...I'll be gun shopping IMMEDIATELY so I have more than just long guns in the house (or, hopefully, on my person). Because I was a Boy Scout and I believe in being prepared...just in case. And that is a prime example of what we need to see - immediate, personal, "it affects ME" results from all this. That will be the true litmus test for the majority of the sheeple - "how does this affect ME?". Once there's tangibles like tax savings (will have to wait till next April, of course), or gun laws, or even to an extent a physical, undeniable ground-breaking on the wall...the MSM and the naysayers won't have much of a leg to stand on. Right now, it's all theory - it needs to become TANGIBLE. That will be the main turning point for the nation. } | ||

It used to be understood that the previous President doesn't publicly criticize the current President. BO certainly enjoyed that courtesy during his term in office. So it appears that instead of respecting, and abiding by that tradition, BO is going to double down and actually organize to criticize his successor. He is a very small man. He continues to build his legacy as a very small man. History will record his actions, regardless of the current media we have. It's a new world of being able to archive what has happened for future reference. History will see him more clearly than many see him today. No doubt, it will be taught in school that he was the first black President. That will be the best of his legacy. Little more than a footnote in history being taught in high school to kids bored our of their minds. Anyone looking deeper, will find a failure of a man. BO is simply doubling down on that failure. Truth be told, if history records things correctly, and they wont go into this detail for your HS history books, BO didn't become President on his own. He was selected, long in advance, while still a nobody in Illinois. The orchestration is clear to see. It's been recently confirmed that the DNC does in fact work that way. The reality of the situation is that our first black President was simply a matter of identity politics being employed by a political party that selects it's candidates in a very undemocratic manner. Call it corrupt if you wish. This is BO's legacy. | ||

I hope . . . based on think veiled conversations at work . . . that someone, at sometime, has the guts to release his transcripts and student records. I DO NOT KNOW OR HAVE ACCESS TO THE FACTS. My GUESS is . . .based on conversations at faculty meetings . . . that Obama applied and was accepted because he was a FOREIGN citizen. I also GUESS that he either flunked out and was "advanced for the good" or had (I base this guess on his words, written in his book, that he spent all his time ignoring his studies and smoking dope) such poor grades that the simply moved him along to prevent having the paperwork that would go with dispatching a foreign minority. I am seeing some of this now . . . there is a HUGE pressure on Ivy League school to keep enrollment's, both up and "diverse". Performance is a pesky little problem on the way to these goals. Game on. |
