Supporting Trump: Part One

There are two ways to defend the support of Donald Trump for president this November:  

1.  Promoting another four years of improvement of the state of the nation.

2.  Preventing another four years of destruction of the state of the nation.

Either presents a legitimate argument, a logical argument, a fact-based argument. 

As regards point #1, Trump's record as president begged for a repeat performance in 2020, and he was denied by all manner of fraud, interference, irregularity which resulted in the election actually being stolen from him.  His detractors pretend otherwise, as if his record of achievement wasn't enough.  As if his manner and eccentricities drove away intelligent voters.  Pseudo-sophisticates and the sanctimonious assert he was not presidential material, while those like me maintain that his record proved he indeed was, and then some.  

That record included tax and regulatory policy which resulted in a thriving economy, with growth beyond what the impotent Obama said was no longer possible.  We were told the weak growth rate was the new normal to which we needed to get used and that a magic wand was required to do better.  (Then of course, when better came to be, this same worthless bastard dared to claim the booming economy was due to his efforts.)  

It also included oil flowing like Niagara Falls to the extent that our costs were low and our exports were high.  And with his support for Keystone and other pipelines, jobs were as plentiful as the oil.  It also included a more reasonable cost of living for all, and inflation was low.  It included more and better paying jobs to the extent that the unemployment rate for black Americans was the lowest ever since they began tracking that, and the lowest in the nation since the early 1960s, and thus liberated nearly seven million people from food stamps.  He lowered drug prices for the first time in 51 years. 

It included actual work toward reigning in the number of illegal invaders flowing across our borders.  A wall which border agents confirmed was impeding the ability of illegals from crossing, making their jobs easier. 

It included pulling out of the Iran Nuclear Deal.  The former put a huge financial hurt on Iran and mitigated their ability to finance nuke production as well as terrorist activity (whereas both Obama and now Biden choose to fund both).  On that issue, Trump took out an Iranian military leader, Qassem Soleimani and ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi...two vermin responsible for all sorts of terrorist attacks.

It included the Abraham Accords which brought together Israel and Arab states as well as with us.  In doing so, he made it clear that the Jew-hating Gazastinian/West Bankers were not necessary to advance relationships in the region, and did not have to be a veto to every such attempt.  It included moving our embassy from Tel Aviv to Israel's capitol in Jerusalem where it should always have been.

It included supporting ASEAN over Chinese expansionism and fighting China's aggression toward its neighbors.  Even Vietnam professed its gratitude toward Trump in this regard. 

This is a really short list.  Trump's achievements, again, justified a second term.  There's no thinking person who voted against giving him one.  No thinking person would presume to assert he wouldn't continue on that path he started in his first term as there's no rational argument to suggest he wouldn't.  Some wish to speak of the debt increase during his presidency.  But as I provided for Craig, the debt has no only increased with every president since Nixon, it has increased in the second term of every two-term president.  That is, where the debt rose for Obam's first term, it rose again during his second.  And as I said, it was the same with every two-termer...Reagan, Clinton, Bush 43 AND Obama.  Thus, to hold it against Trump as if it mitigates all of the above good is inane.

Another criticism is the COVID "vaccines" and Trump's seeming continued support for them.  This is a legit gripe, but it fails due to the fact that so much is known about its inefficiency and harmful potential that it's doubtful too many are making their jab decisions based on his support of the "vax" alone, if at all.  And while detractors insist they aren't insisting on perfection in a candidate, it's these imperfections they scrape up to lament him as the GOP nominee and to rationalize withholding votes.

A far more egregious bit of nonsense is Trump's manner, his "mean tweets" and other such "stupid" things he says or does.  Let's forget all the good things he does and pretend none of it counts for judging his character.  Let's just focus on bullshit instead.  The "character" argument fails against his record of beneficial achievements.  This is serious shit here and whether he's cracking wise about some woman's looks or "hawking" a Bible, to pretend anyone should give this crap any real weight belies their claims of being sensible voters.  They aren't, and the future of the nation is too important to concern one's self with crap when real destructive policies are a guarantee with another four years of Dem control of the White House. 

And here's another thing which speaks to Trump's plus side:  He loves America in a tangible, substantive way which manifests in his willingness to take all the shit haters are throwing his way just to ensure America is Made Great Again.  The lawfare, the obstructions...none of it will stop him from doing right by us.  Those who pretend he only cares about himself have to be some of the stupidest assholes in the world in the face of all that.  He hasn't been enriched by public service as has most every other president and member of Congress.  Yet he continues on our behalf. 

It's not Trump who is Trump's worst enemy.  It is those who say this kind of crap when they should be assuring folks of why he should get their support, too.  But they are his worst "baggage" as they pretend anyone should be concerned about his less than perfect ways as if they matter against real issues which do.

ADDENDUM:  As luck would have it, today's edition of AmericanThinker.com provided the following article which aligns well with what I've begun with this post:

New Rule

If men were angels, there'd be no need for government or rules.  Unfortunately, too many men are assholes.   

Because of a person or persons commenting here as if they were Dan Trabue (and really...who the f**k would want to be him?), I'm forced to enact another rule:

All commenting must be done by honest people willing to identify themselves in a manner which convinces me they are who they say they are.   

 I know there are those who for reasons of a personal nature fear identifying themselves.  For example, their jobs might be at risk if their employers or co-workers knew of their political/religious positions.  Frank Turec, our own Wintery Knight, are examples.  

Others are just insipid cowards, like feo and those who post under the name of another.  There are also those who won't open up a Blogger account simply to provide some legit means of identifying or contacting them to verify who they are.  They're trolls.  No one likes trolls.  

As always I reserve the right to allow anyone I choose to allow and discontinue posting comments from those who've proven themselves feo-like.  This recent counterfeit at least comments in an acceptable tone, and that might persuade me to allow such commenting.  But I won't allow the appropriation of another person's name.  Don't do it. 

Where Speaking Of The Past Protects Us In The Future

 https://arizonasuntimes.com/news/outcomes-of-the-92-election-cases-from-the-2020-election-reveal-that-judges-didnt-review-evidence-or-address-election-fraud-part-2/ralexander/2024/03/14/

I came across the above as the author is among those who still stay engaged with the election fraud issue from 2020.  Some whine when Trump refers to being robbed (a solid truth if ever there was one) as if we should just move along.  That's abject stupidity.  While I don't want Trump's presidency (assuming he wins in November) to be nothing more than getting even for that criminal act, I also don't want it to be forgotten, dropped, set aside or regarded as unimportant among all he could be spending his time resolving as president.  This is a national travesty and needs one guy to provoke action by 50 other guys...that is, all state governors...to clean up the crap Dems imposed upon us which made our current suffering the order of the day.  

This article speaks of 92 cases where the presiding judges chose not to deal with evidence at all.  This is contemptible in light of the many leftist assholes who pretend there was no evidence of fraud or election problems in 2020.  

Here's a helpful rule of thumb:  if a leftist's lips are moving, he/she's lying to you.  Start from there and force them to prove whatever it is they're saying is true.  As we see here on the blogs, they'll change the subject.

While I know there have been some states which have addressed election issues and protocols, I have no confidence enough has been done to ensure truly fair and honest elections.  I mean, shit, there are Democrats involved.  How fair and honest could they be?  How many state have cleaned up their voter roles?  How many have limited the "election season" to fewer days...if not back to simply one?  How many have strengthened anything having to do with election integrity?  

Scant few as we see the GOP looking to "do what the Dems do", when they don't mean cheating like Dems do.  They expect that somehow we'll benefit by early voting, mail-in, ballot harvesting....the talk about "banking your vote".  What morons!  Sean Hannity has been preaching this and the recent NYC special election to fill the George Santos seat was used by Hannity as "proof" that "banking" one's vote...voting early...is necessary because a snow storm on election day negatively impacted turnout.  Well, if there was no early voting, or mail-ins, both parties would be impacted in the same way.  

Cheating happened in 2020 and it manifested in a variety of ways, all of which together means that the election result was severely negatively impacted.  80+ million votes for a moron?  No fucking way.  That election was stolen.  Period.  92 cases could have put Trump in the White House where he belonged were it not for morally bankrupt judges refusing to consider evidence.

Dying By The Hands Of Their Own

 https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2024/03/92928/

The above is an essay dealing with the moral aspect of collateral damage.  The subject has come up in recent discussions regarding the slander that Israel is guilty of war crimes because of civilian casualties resulting from their just response to the murderous aggression of the Gazastinians.  Some would say the civilian people of Gaza are somehow not linked to the Hamas animals they elected to lead them and thus should not be considered the aggressors in this conflict.  That's abject crap.  While it's not to say that civilians should be targeted, or that hate for Israel would not increase were they to cease the incredibly Christian-like concern for them their military has and continues to show them, to lie about culpability being upon the IDF for Gazastinian casualties must be mocked as the willful and intentional lie it is.

 The following contains a video of a black voice to which all should listen:

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/02/mustsee_video_one_amazing_black_woman_gets_it_about_democrats_all_of_it.html


When a black woman regards most black women in power as stupid, it validates the reality seen by our own eyes.  I don't know every woman on Widburg's list, but I don't think there's a one who is not a Democrat or, as such people are now proudly labeled, "modern progressives".  Each is a moron in her own right and I think it's not at all a stretch to suggest their sex and race were the most important factor in installing them in their positions of authority, not anything akin to intelligence.  It's a sad state of affairs and I know there are bright and intelligent black women in this country, if for no other reason than the laws of averages and probability demand that there must be.  I would wager none of them are Democrats.

Just as true is the lack of intelligence of any other woman with a "D" next to her name regardless of color.  Tulsi Gabbard seems to have some smarts, or at least enough to git from the party while the gittin's good.  Pelosi ain't stupid, but she's evil and a moron for backing crap policies.  As she's never been in it to promote the general welfare anyway, her smarts ain't a bonus.  

But the woman in the video, who seems like just an average every-woman covers a lot of ground and nails it on every inch of it.  Her comments about Obama are priceless.

P.S.  I stole the title for this post from Craig.

Craig's Pro-Trump Posts: Chapter 5...The Finale

 This one will be the last, and I'm not sure if I'm prepared to scroll through the entire year or not at the moment I'm typing these words.  To go over the reason for this series once again, and with no concern for the absolute accuracy of how it went down (because I'm now kinda confused about it), I've been concerned about anti-Trump sentiment from Craig (and Stan, too, for that matter) and my position on Trump is simple and direct:  his record as president in the aggregate is such that he was entitled as any president has been of a second consecutive term, and now a second term in '24 since he was cheated out of it in '20.  Those concerns most of us had prior to his first election were, for me, proven to have been unrealized, save for his unique style which is not what has been common from presidents throughout the ages.  So to speed ahead, I was concerned that I never heard any positive comments about Trump from Craig who insists he gives credit when credit is deserved and I stated that I recalled no such posts to that effect with regard Trump.  Having stated I was willing to go through all four years of Trump's presidency and Craig's blog posts during that time to find these posts of Trump praise and he encouraged me to "feel free".  

Since that time, and in more recent discussions, a few curious things have taken place.  

1.  After posting the first few "chapters" of this series, I've been criticized for believing that Craig's post is the only place where he may have made these professions of support and praise.  My response was simply that I had no reason to suspect that any praise would not be posted somewhere among his many offerings, but that I probably would do the same with his Twitter archives and I know of no other such places where he might post such laudatory expressions.  That would have been nice info to have when I first proposed my search.  

2.  I had clearly recalled Craig stating on more than one occasion...and I admit at my more advanced age that perhaps I could be wrong in my recollections...that Craig doesn't support Trump and never voted for him.  Within the last month, however, he has stated he voted for Trump twice.  I was stunned.  Is my memory really that bad to be 180 degrees off on this point?  But then, not sure of where I had left off, I came upon this post:

"Thursday, September 12, 2019

“Your President”

I find this obsession with labeling Trump as “your president” laughably pathetic.  I have precisely the same relationship with Trump that I had with P-BO.    I didn’t support or vote for either of them during the election cycles, but once they were sworn in, I supported actions or policies I agreed with, and criticized the actions I didn’t."

Note that last sentence.  Now I'm confused again. 

3.  Also very recently, Craig stated that he finds the notion of posting on a president doing good things he expects a president to do is boring to him.  But this contradicts the claim that he applauds the good things done.  OK.  Which is it?  And were I to move on to Craig's Twitter archives, this statement suggests I'd be wasting even more time than I already have.  Was this the point?  To knowingly allow me to spend time in this fruitless search when a simple statement like this at that time could have prevented wasting the limited time I have left in my life?

I have a personal response to all of this which I'll save for later.  For now, I will proceed to the last year of Trump's presidency...or at least some of it, because I don't like knowing I'm wasting my time and wasting it anyway:

"Random Tweets"

Not a support for Trump, but support for young blacks who support Trump.

"Impeachment"

Here Craig isn't supporting Trump necessarily (he's good with any means of getting rid of Trump so long as it's legit), but defending him against the scurrilous lies of the Dems trying to impeach him.  But this should have been the attitude of all honorable Americans whether they supported Trump or not, so I'm not calling for a pat on Craig's back here.  Meanwhile, clearly, Dan proved what we already knew about him at the time, and further demonstrates it constantly.  He's dishonorable.

"Remember when..."
An acknowledgement of something good Trump did which wasn't acknowledged by the opposing party or their media sycophants.  Not praise for Trump's aid to Puerto Rico so much as criticism of his political opponents.

"Hypothetically"
"Is there anyone in the history of the US who is so horrible and needs to be convicted of a crime so badly that they should be deprived of their right to be tried in front of a fair and impartial jury?

While we're on legal theory, is there ever a point where we can balance the current/recent actions of a person with the past actions/allegations and base judgement more on the recent?"

The above is the entire post for this date.  I'm most concerned with the second part, though the first isn't irrelevant to the point I want to make.  When I speak with Craig and/or Stan about casting their votes for Trump in the general, as they should have in 2020, this second paragraph is a question I've basically been presenting in support of the notion.  Apparently Craig, and ostensibly Stan, would answer "no" to this question, as they aren't truly basing their decision exclusively on the recent with regard to Trump...by which I mean his first term and how good it was.  This question, then, <i>demands</i> support for Trump in November, unless one wishes to pretend the insignificant overwhelms the significant.

"Saw this this morning"

Craig said,

"I’m noticing a trend among my friends.   We’d rather see bad things happen to our country, than see Trump win."

The irony here is that this is unintentional praise for Trump's record.  But it's also the position both he and Stan are taking in fact.  I can say this because so many bad things have happened to our country since they rejected Trump the last time, and if Trump is unable to get around or over all the many more hurdles put before him now, more bad things will absolutely happen to our country because of it.

"EASTER MASSACRE"

This one is supportive of Trump against the unChristian petition by less than Christian clergy.  Trump expressed optimistic hope and the clergypeeps referenced it as an actual date to open up churches.   So I appreciate the support for Trump expressing optimism.  One would think few shared that optimisism.

"Another damn racist"
This is just a quote of Georgia State Rep. Vernon Jones—A Democrat--endorsing Trump for president and why.  I add it because the posting of it suggests praise for something Trump's done through the words of this black guy.  I'll count it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK.  I got through at least the latter half of July and I'm done.  I'm bored with this, especially given what I posted at the outset of this chapter.  Unless Craig has something in his mind which stands out as absolute support and praise for a specific Trump policy between July 2020 and Inauguration Day of January 2021, I think it's safe to say that there is no such thing, aside from that which I've posted in each chapter.  

As to my personal response, there's a lot more I intend to say in subsequent posts regarding the upcoming election.  How Craig may or may not have voted in the previous presidential elections matters not at this point, as my focus is on November 2024 and the denial of any Democrat from being sworn in in January of '25. 

Recently, it seems I've run afoul somewhat of both Craig and Stan, particularly as regards Trump as president, though with Craig on one or two other things as well.  Shit happens, but for me, I still look to both of these guys as allies and far better men than the sorry lefties with whom any of us contend.  Sure, that's not saying much, but that wasn't my meaning.  They're both great guys, I support them both and continue to follow their blogs.  They're allowed to be wrong now and then, and I'm told I can be as well, though I can't for the life of me think of a time...

Anyway, like the GOP, those of us on the right have no problem smacking each other around and when that happens it means very little to us to go through it, and more importantly, it means we give a flying fuck.  Unlike the lefties, we're not sheep.  We think for ourselves and are willing to defend ourselves as much against each other as we in defending ourselves against the likes of the demented, evil left.  It won't stop, at least not for me, for I seek to persuade or be persuaded. 

I Mean It...Leftists Too Stupid To Involve In Border/Immigration Policy Legislation

 https://www.fairus.org/senate-border-security-compromise-bill-crashes-and-burns-after-fair-exposed-it-sham

 

The above give details about the fraudulent "bi-partison" bill to screw the nation with more invaders invited in by Dems and RINOs.  So nice FAIRUS dug in to make sure enough Senators with some semblance of intelligence was well informed about what Senate assholes were expecting them to support, to the great detriment of We The People.  

In other news, I've been hearing about Biden having jetted in those looking to abuse the asylum system and make it even easier for them to do.  He was basically acting as a freakin' Uber service.  All the invaders had to do was use the app Biden provided, let him know where they were, and he'd send the info and a jet.  Not only that, he was giving them two years to work out their asylum claims and work visas among other things.  I'm sure those Americans looking for work will be happy to have more illegitimate competition likely to get a leg up on them.  I heard details on this travesty from Mark Levin whilst running a few errands tonight.  I saw something in an email I may have unintentionally deleted (because I can't seem to find it thus far), which I'm guessing cites the same article Levin was in reporting on this effort of the Dems to destroy America.  Apparently, he's shipped in about 320 million foreigners and shipped them to around 43 different airports around the nation without telling anyone.  If I can find the email, I'll like to the info below the link I've already provided. 

(I've set this post aside for longer than intended, but can't find the email. The only email I can find reporting on this egregious disregard for Americans is within a video with several other issues being discussed.  Don't know how to cull the heard to isolate the relevant info, but I've heard it discussed several times from several TV and radio sources, so the info's out there if you need to see it.)

Now, with the SOTU address still reeking in our memory, I can add the dust-up over the wonderful Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) and her reference to Lakan Riley shouted out to President Moron, and his desperate attempt to appear as if he gives a shit.  I won't belabor his mispronouncing Riley's first name, as I don't think it's a big deal for an old guy to mispronounce this particular name, even with it written down and the button or pendant he pulled from the podium, likely as a prop should something like this come up.  Old and cognitively diminished people do such things.  But what's really annoying, aside from his again pretending his son dying of cancer is anything like having a college aged daughter brutally murdered for apparently no reason but she was there and the asshole felt like it.  (No, Joe.  You DON'T know what it's like!)  It's his third mistake which is illuminating and it validates this post.  

During Joe's tap-dancing around that he really is a man of compassion for the real pain and suffering he caused by reversing all the Trump policies which led to the flood of invaders trespassing on our national property, he made the mistake of referring to the murderous piece of shit who beat Lakan Riley's head in as an "illegal".  OH.  MY.  GOSH!  how the asshole lefties pulled their heads from their asses to whine about how awful it is to refer to foreign invaders as "illegals".  "NO HUMAN BEINGS ARE 'ILLEGAL'!" the dumbasses cry!  THAT is the important thing.  Not one of our own being murdered by one of the illegals...and one of the criminals with whom intelligent people have been most concerned.  

Of course none of these illegal foreign invaders is as great a danger to our nation as the Jackass Party which swings wide the gates, who erases our sovereign borders to posture as people filled with compassion for the downtrodden.  Liars all. 

UPDATE:  More evidence the left can't be trusted on border/immigration issues:
