Reason #1: Trump is all about urgency.
Urgency is why we have a COVID vaccine today. Not on the 12th. of never.
Our Founders were driven. It was submission or freedom. It was slavery or servitude to their English Masters. They understood America could be snuffed out like an evening candle.
Today we have a choice: free enterprise and individual initiative or becoming the ward of a socialistic state.
The Democratic Party has created the conditions for the fires of unrest to spread and become wild fires from sea to shining sea.
The Establishment Republications are all about “Process” and “can’t we all just get along?”
The Dems are about Machiavellian, bait-and- switch and power. They will do anything and say anything to stay in power. For example, according to them, the Presidential Election on January 6th was certified. It must stand. The Iowa election was certified but…
Establishment Republicans are an army that shoots their wounded. And then leaves them to die on the battlefield. Trump brought focus and a reasoned battle plan to domestic and international challenges. He was a courageous leader that was willing to take the bullets to protect the troops. He never hid in the heat of battle. Unlike Biden, he never will.
The media with an all-out cover defense, aids, encourages, and protects the Dems sleight of hand with the truth. This COVID thing is complicated. It’s an ever-changing challenge. Tune in tomorrow. Let us catch our breath. What we said yesterday, well that was a mix-up in communication.
What about the illegal aliens with COVID crossing our boarder and being released into the heartland of America?
That’s not happening. It’s a Republican talking point and Fox News. Our boarders are closed. Our boarders are secure. The lies continue. The underbrush for an all out wild fire is intensifying.
Reason#2: ROI. Trump believes in squeezing every moment, every opportunity and every resource for everything it’s worth.
We have a frozen power grid in Washington sidelining America. It is not a seasonal challenge. It is now a four seasons opportunity for the Dems. They use every moment of every day to plant and harvest hate. But the ice cream never melts at Nancy’s house. She got a back-up generator.
Trump believes in multiple sources of leverage. He never lets go of one stream of revenue, one stream of economic power until he can command another times ten. Competition is war. Trump knows the winner and only the winner sets the terms.
Reason #3: Trump is all about shortening the time to market. Adding incentive’s for value creation and value delivery. Leverging our entire energy sector to put time and distance between us and China. Trump understands the importance of protecting America’s value networks. Never surrendering our core competencies to our competitors and our enemies.
Reason#4: Trump has peripheral vision. As a builder he knows how to lay foundations that last. He sees the frontier, where new knowledge is born. He fights to secure the high ground for America’s emerging technologies. Putting in place the capabilities and resources required to move from one era to the next. China has no place in America’s value web. They have one goal. Destroy America. This understanding is what motivates Trump.
Reasons # 1-4. Trump wants to ensure that our kids have the stamina, the street smarts and resources to control the field of play. School is an essential business. Our kids need to be in a dynamic work environment where they can grow in knowledge, stature and relationships. For a child alone, is in bad company.
The Teachers Union is an anchor on the sinking ship of Public Education. Kids, if you want to play in Biden’s world, mom and dad will have to increase your allowance for chores.
Instead of billion dollar ad buys, Republicans must fund demonstration projects on key issues. Bring to life how smart people tackle the challenges America faces. The demonstration projects point the way. They become the proof text for policy. The demonstration projects become the building blocks of a communication strategy. A strategy built on reality, not empty rhetoric!
Teachers beware. The Ides of March are here.
A Sidebar
I recently revisited the first recorded question in the bible: When God removed Adam and Eve from the Garden, He asked them; Where are you? The question was not one of geography.
Plato saw ethical behavior as simply a matter of knowledge. He argued that if a man didn’t make ethical choices it was because he didn’t see the connection between virtue and happiness.
As presumptuous as it might seem, I disagree with him. I am more aligned with the Prophet Zechariah.
He emphasized vertical connecting. God to man and man to God communications.
Along the way he challenged the establishment. He confronted the folks that turned neighbor against neighbor.
Zechariah was a man with the hunger and the vision to rebuild the Israelite Nation. By returning the Nation to founding principles. He saw the danger, he felt the danger of a people, a country drifting from the course that had made them prosperous and whole.
Trump, like Zechariah understands the importance of founding principles. The critical role of the US Constitution.
Trump believes in the freedom of the individual. But he also believes with freedom comes responsibility; liberty is the right to do what you ought, not whatever you might please. Lawlessness creates inefficiencies, consumes time, and wastes valuable resources. It is all about ROI. President Biden, in what universe does open borders make sense?
Trump understands our free enterprise system fuels creativity, innovation, productivity, share holder value and economic growth. It creates jobs. Not government regulations.
Trump was willing to flip a few tables over. He thrives on chaos, knowing that it is a ladder. Ambiguity. Keeping the competition off balance. And he understands that friends without benefits are no friends at all.
For Zechariah the heart and soul of the Hebrew Nation was the Temple. It was his job to restore the Temple to it’s previous glory. While restoring a righteous purpose to the people of Israel. To cause his countrymen to remember their roots and the sustaining power that held them together.
For Trump, restoring the rights of the individual and curbing the power and reach of the Federal Government was job number one.
Founding Principles
One Nation Under God with the family as the building blocks. Dignity is every man’s birthright. For we all bare the stamp, the signature of our Creator. And that includes the unborn.
Bringing a renewal to our inner cities through education, personal responsibility, reestablishing law and order, strengthening the family, and creating investment in business infrastructure.
Harnessing the over reach of the Federal Government through regulatory reform and budgets based on ROI. Shift responsibility to the private sector where value creation can be accelerated and renewed. This unleashing is why I rolled up my sleeve and got my second COVID vaccine two months ago. Thank you President Trump!
Meanwhile, Biden is busy emptying the entire pantry. From our energy resources to our bank account. What the right hand gives the left hand takes away.
Increased taxes to pay for the free stuff. Increased taxes to pay for the federal buracracy to rule our lives. Increased taxes to payoff the Teachers Union, while our children stay home isolated from their friends. Increased taxes to pay for illegal aliens to have medical care, food and housing while our homeless remain homeless and hungry.
I am not worried about immoral people taking over our government. They are easy to fight. I am worried about the amoral people who create their own universe of right and wrong. And then with a dysfunctional media make stupid look respectable.
Love is an absolute. In it’s purest form, it is an act of will.
Love anchors the soul. If you don’t like the person in the mirror, you can’t love someone across town. The Left motivates out of fear and hate.
Love creates a brotherhood braided together of woven steel. The September 11th. Pledge. No one left behind.
Beginnings are important. If something has a phony beginning, is built on lies, misrepresentations, it’s foundation is nothing but quick sand. Trump understands this better than anyone in Washington because he is a builder.
There is an abundance of people playing hide and seek with the truth. Political language consists largely of question-begging, euphemisms and sheer cloudy vagueness. The headlines, the reporting are designed to conceal thought or prevent thought.
In spite of the blow back, Zechariah delivered the Head Shed’s unvarnished Code of Conduct:
Do not be afraid. These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgement in your courts; do not plot evil against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely.
The training of a warrior: I will bring them into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold.
Very few made it out of the fire, but those that did were more than conquers. The Priesthood was cleansed. The Temple was rebuilt. We need a cleansing of Congress. Professional politicians, with golden parachutes must go.
America has endured a lot of untruth. The Dumbing down of what it means to be human. The dumbing down of what it means to be an American. The dumbing down of what it means to be a person of faith. All believers must acquaint themselves with the 139th Psalm.
President Trump Did Not Believe In A Face Lift.
I ask…
Why are we here?
What are we becoming? Where are we headed?
And where is Hunter? Who is the little BIG Man on hunter’s tape?
Trump sought a total metabolic change. Drain the swamp and with it, Washington’s pay to play perpetual motion machine.
People come and go. Ponce de Leon died at the age of 47. He found no Fountain of Youth.
Nations die too. The Roman Empire’s influence once stretched from Britain in the north to Mesopotamia in the east. One thousand years. How time flies. They became strangers within their own land.
I ask myself what was that government which the virtues of Cicero were so zealous to restore, and the ambition of Caesar to subvert? If Caesar had been as virtuous as he was daring and sagacious, what could he have done to lead his fellow citizens into good government? No government can continue good but under the control of the people; and their people were so demoralized and depraved as to be incapable of exercising a wholesome control.
— Thomas Jefferson in a letter to John Adams on December 10, 1819
Identity. What makes a person a person? A human being more than an animal?
Apes walk upright. Adult whales care for their calves. Penguins mate for a lifetime.
Today we use the three-pound universe of cells that govern our intellect, intuition, memory and emotions to play the children’s game of hide and seek.
As President, Trump did not hide. He got up in your face and jammed you like an NFL Linebacker.
We The People
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed…To make justice a reality for all of God’s children.
Dr. King spoke with urgency. The same urgency that drove Adams and Jefferson. He thought of America as a brotherhood. What makes us a family is not the color of our skin. Not our bloodline. But our belief that we are One Nation Under God.
Those that settled America’s frontiers each night would circle their wagons. They rested. They laughed. They told stories. They ate together. They lifted each other up. And the next day they pushed on. They persevered. They crossed rushing rivers. Endured blinding snow storms. Conquered dangerous mountain passes. And along the way they buried their loved ones. They built America the beautiful. And today we are her caretakers. We must never forget the Night Ring. To circle up and lift each other up.
They come our way, we spend time with them in thought and then one day we wake up and they are gone. Will Rogers. Mark Twain. Johnny Carson. Rush Limbaugh. They remind us to weep with those that weep and to laugh with those that laugh. If we can’t do that, we are not human.
Life is full of more surprises than promises. But there is one promise for those that hunger and thirst to get it right. Not the perfect. But those that work to make things better. The promise is on lay-away for when our time on Earth is done… eternal life. It’s not the Easter Bunny that brings that promise, it’s our Lord Jesus Christ. The Author of Life.
Last Sunday we celebrated with family and friends His life and His death! We are created for together.
Godspeed.

Yeah, Trump. Thank God he shut Fauci down, got the flat tax passed, and got us all out of those foreign wars. And then when the Democrats thought they could play him and steal the election…he showed them!
I guess we should have voted for Hillary?
Hey, GenZConservative, newsflash! Trump isn’t POTUS anymore.
Let it go.
Breath in, breath out. Wax on, wax off.
Wait a minute there, Genny. Are you telling me that Trump is the reason there are killer vaccines rushed into use without trials? Didn’t he also say that he planned to use the military to jab everyone with those vaccines? And you voted for his urgent ass?
No further questions. I rest my fuckin case over here.
Is your hatred perfect Gen Z?
Are you saved?
Trump’s legacy and his 2 gifts to the elite globalists seeking worldwide dominion:
1.) Operation Warpspeed
2.) Operation MAGA (Make America Go Away)
Thanks for nothing, Don.
GenZC, you did get this part correct: “Apes walk upright. Adult whales care for their calves. Penguins mate for a lifetime.” When one wraps oneself in patriotism, it’s usually nothing but ape, whale or penguin crap. It’s the same as Jimmy Swaggart calling himself gods messenger, you are in good company.
You forgot to mention Trump’s $8 trillion in debt. That translates into a tax, and that tax hits the middle class; the wealthy have some options, the poor aren’t involved. The saving grace for some will be that after being injected with his Warp Speed magic fluid they will die and not be affected by his tax.
The lineup cards in January of 2017 in DC were 60,000 on one card and 1 on the other card. Hard to win with those odds. But at least in 2021 we’ve got a guy who’s turning things around. More ‘workers’ coming in to build the new infrastructure, more people who aren’t dying (though lots are), more peaceful riots (looking at you, Minny), more criminals who won’t be asked to pay their debt to society. Hayzeus, that sure looks like progress.
I do not know if we are born with or acquire Cognitive Dissonance, but it is a huge factor in our lives. The red-team/blue-team concept is a perfect example.I dealt with the CD regarding the political parties many years ago when I realized they both have the same masters.
So here is how it plays out, if your CD mandates that you adhere to the two party system, then a criticism of ones chosen team or team player is a criticism on oneself. The response is to criticize the other team. For example, there is no question that when I said Trump raised the debt and thereby created a stealth tax, you could not agree or disagree with that premise, your CD required you to criticize Biden. When you are able to see the picture for what it is, you can criticize Trump and that does not equate to praising Biden.
I finally believe Trump was part of the swamp! We should have no vaccines for the Rona. None are proven safe!!!!!
My what a riveting speech.
Put this clipped to your resume when Donald runs again and send it to him.
This is the stuff that lofts gorgeous balloons skyward.
Thank goodness vitamin D, zinc, quercetin, hydroxychloroquine, etc. were not promoted instead of those deadly “vaccines.”
