I find it fascinating that the entire Leftist media saw Trump as a joke, a clown and all-showman-but-no-way.

But as a private citizen out here in the hinterland, I saw that exact same announcement speech in June 2015 and thought to myself, this guy could win. A week later I switched my support from Cruz (too conservative to win either the primaries or the general) to Donald Trump. My wife supported him from the get-go as well.

And now the tables are turned and I think of the media as nothing but a joke, a bunch of clowns and all-lies-but-no-truth.

Why would anyone in their right mind, believe anything these partisan hacks tell us on TV anymore? I don't watch them anymore. For what reason?

Trump is right to trounce all over them if they are being underhanded and lying about him. I hope he continues to call out the media liars and fake-news promoters for who they really are. Propagandist arms of the democRATS and the water carriers for the liberals and elitists in DC.

Just desserts, if you ask me...

Has anyone heard anything about Seth Myers? He made a joke about Trump running at the 2011 White House correspondents dinner which some say was the real beginning of this bid.

The elites all agreed with each other, Trump could never win the Presidency. Being Libs, there is no self-reflection on getting it wrong. Indeed, in their very insular world-view, they didn’t get it wrong, it must have been some other nefarious force that got him in over the smartest woman in the world.

The same brain-trust that knew Trump couldn’t win is now confidently telling us the Russians-did-it.

It is another rainy day here in Californicator land, My spouse has informed me that it would be a good day not to go out or doing any chores, (we have a busy weekend including dinner for 8 friends on Saturday evening).

So, I will be reading LS’s new book, How Trump Won, on one of my Kindles.

They were still at it last night on Don Lemon’s show. 4-5 of them sitting around the table discussing whether or not Trump was writing his own inauguration speech. They were laughing the same way as if that was the dumbest thing they’d ever heard of! They don’t remember the shellacking they took in November apparently!

That video has been around in email and is priceless. It needs to be played whenever Trump stands in front of a microphone! Shut the fools up once and for all? Probably not!

“See that? Trump isn’t even in yet and California’s drought is over!”

Yep! The drought was over a few weeks ago in N. Californicator land. Most of our reservoirs have been running over for weeks.

Lots of water is going down the Delta and down south as the big reservoirs are full or close. So they need to get water out of them to prevent serious overflow problems.

There was a really complicated editorial oped news story about how President Elect Trump apparently settled some water issues shortly after he was elected. My wife and a couple of friends read the editorial/oped several times and still don’t know what Trump did except maybe some closed door or phone call “negotiations”.

Of course our Drought Nazis are saying the drought isn’t over in spite of flooding in many areas. They are saying that we need about a decade of above normal rain for the drought to be over.

Hope you are enjoying what is happening as much as we Deplorables are, out here in LaLa land.

The timing on your great new book is very good.

Somebody, not me, posited that’s the wrong way to look at it. The democrats are the legislative wing of the big media outlets.

If some entertainment company got all these jokers in a large venue with cameras, lighting and sound, I’d pay good money to point at them and laugh. Then l would fart in their collective direction and leave.

Treat yourself to a MAGA brand new book co authored by one of our own, LS.

I'm almost finished with it, just have the Epilogue to read. I have really enjoyed reading it in these days leading up to the inaugural.

My screen name even made the footnotes (along with other Freepers).

You are now part of History! How exciting!

LS’s new book has been a blessing to read this week.

Normally, I speed read a book like this.

However, with this book, I’m reading a chapter at a time to really remember what was happening at that time in history.

How, we were under artillery fire and sniper fire from the mediots and the Never Trumpsters on Free Republic and other sites.

Yet, we, and millions of other Deplorables, kept the faith and voted for our new President.

Thanks to LS for this wonderful book and to Jim Rob for providing this incredible site to keep the faith and to convince others, that Trump should be our new president.
