What a brave face Europe’s putting on. The European’s think they’ll band together and that’ll show us. This is a story-line, and we have to wait for it to play out. Everybody’s leaders from all over the world are poised to attend the pope’s funeral, even some crooks who’ve had to overcome travel bans. It’s a free for all, almost, and national leaders from all over the world will be there. They’re trying to act like Trump’s bent out of shape about the seating, but you have to consider who’s talking.

Now Judges have been put on notice. They thought this was their last bastion of power and they’d use the power of the Judiciary to stop him. It’s not working. The headline article of the Drudge Report is all about one female judge who thought she’d beat the system by hiding an illegal alien at her place. It didn’t work, and now she’s been arrested. It looks like there is going to be a showdown between Trump and some judges who thought they had it made. 

To see how the mainstream media is treating Trump, you’d think they have no sense. It’s not smart to antagonize someone who can cancel your life. I don’t know if it’s on the upswing or not. The headline reads, “Trump’s Team of Losers.” Then you find out that they ran for some office and didn’t win. But that’s clearly not the inference. The mainstream tricks us, or thinks it does, all the time.

It’s as if the mainstream is stalking, looking for anyone in the new administration to make a mistake.  Then they can point and do a dance, like they knew better all along. They’re currently out to get Pete Hegseth. Does anybody remember the Saul Alinsky tactic? Pick a target, freeze it and hope it doesn’t take too long before it resigns. I hope Hegseth doesn’t resign, but who knows? The left never stops coming, and I think they’re in a live and die situation.  

The media is trying to scare us at every turn. They’re warning of “empty shelves!” If that means Chinese plastics it’s not going to hurt my feelings.  

Everything is going according to the way God wants it. Trump seems to know his place, often entertaining guests with self-deprecation. The mainstream is doing everything possible to try to embarrass Trump, or catch him in an awkward situation. Maybe it’ll work, but I doubt it. They are increasingly desperate.

How far back do we have to go before we get behind everything that’s ruling the day? Way back!  We still don’t know how to calibrate what’s going on. When you look back you realize we’ve never had a leader that loved us like this, not since Ronald Reagan in his early years. He rescued America from poor leadership in the 80’s, and everybody took notice. But then…I don’t think Nancy was the best influence, but this is something else.

I don’t know about you, but I’m rooting for Trump. I like the idea of a strong America. The world, ANYBODY will think twice before getting him upset, and that’s how it should be.
