Obama used Air Force 1 as his personal plane to attend fundraiser after fundraiser and no one complained.
Selective outrage.
Deng Xiaoping’s been dead for years. You mean Yi Jinping?
(Unless one was a complete jackass.)
Which is what the Left is, though.
What was the estimated attendance?
Watching the Salute to America, I got to shift from the everyday complaints, attacks & worries. Today I focused on the heroic events in history the President talked about, the admirable accomplishments of fellow Americans, the uplifting music & the awe inspiring flyovers. It was refreshing. So refreshing. I felt proud, lighter & happier. The President knew I needed this.
To answer you husband’s question, from what I’ve heard, that illegal alien figure is $600 million per day.
That bone head used AF-1 to terrorify the
people of New York City, giving his peeps
low level flybys of the Statue of Liberty.
Such a disgrace.

Just ignore the BS.
Enjoy a great day.
The Left won’t even want to talk about this tomorrow.
If they do, the definitely won’t want to talk about it the next day because, they will have surely dug themselves into a hole by then.
A beautiful and proper ceremony that gives tribute to those who have and do currently allow us to exist in the most comfortable era of civilization . One nation “ONE” under God , with liberty . Praise and glory to our Father who art in heaven that blesses and protects our constitutional republic.
My opinion of President Trump has most favorably improved especially in this respect, he has convinced me and much of America that he indeed will keep his promises. This makes him unique among presidents since Ronald Reagan and unique among Republicans for as long as I can remember.
What many Trump enthusiasts assumed was opposition to Trump was to other more disinterested observers support for Ted Cruz.
My objection to Donald Trump was as much in revulsion to the deification of the man as to his actions during the campaign. I was especially offended by his unforgivable attacks against Ted Cruz family, claiming his father was somehow complicit in the murder of John F. Kennedy, for example. I was offended by many conservatives who discarded rational thinking to defend Trump, or rather to defend Trump's character, on this and other issues. But once the choice was narrowed down to Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, I joined just enough Americans to defeat Hillary Clinton.
Supporting Trump, however, should not require abandoning conservative principles, otherwise, we descend into a cult which becomes the mortal enemy of every conservative value and leads to the political wilderness after Trump.
My wrangles with Trump supporters had as much to do with indignation over their vigilanteism, their jihadist mentality, their bloodlust for the zot, their cannibalistic appetites against fellow conservatives as it had to do with opposition to Trump the candidate. I believe they abandoned reason and resorted mindlessly to the ad hominem. All of this is lethal to the soul of liberty, to the very raison d'être that we live as conservatives.
I still gnash my teeth when Donald Trump gratuitously feeds the Marxists with grist for their mill with ill-considered remarks or tweets, or even ambiguous and therefore vulnerable comments such as Charlottesville, yet I understand that that is how he has overall so effectively communicated.
I wish he would do several set piece speeches, he has spoken only once from the Oval Office, explaining with inspiring gravitas why we are in an existential fight with China, why Iran must not get the bomb, why immigration does so much harm to working Americans, to the children of America and the sick of America. I understand that elections turn on emotions, and Trump clearly knows how to elicit emotions beautifully but to the degree that his presidency lacks respectability, he should take the steps to repair that part of his image with serious, albeit boring, speeches. These would not be designed to move the masses, they would be intended to reassure the country that we are embarked in pursuit of a vision that ties together. Why are tariffs necessary now if we are not to be broken in time by China. Why do tariffs and immigration relate in a world of "globalism?" How is it that the Democrats, not Donald Trump, have sold the country to Wall Street and K St.? It would serve as an attempt to build a firewall against the picture sought to be painted by the left of a chaotic administration that is the product of a chaotic mind, a narcissistic mind that hops from issue to issue as the ego requires feeding. It would instead create common ground upon which the nation could and would unite to survive and thrive.
Donald Trump is from New York, more particularly even, Queens. That is his mentality and I think much of the nation has come to terms with it. What early on seemed to the whole country to be naked narcissism is but a New Yorker's way of being heard in the crowd. That recognition puts a certain floor on the downside of his favorables. I'm trying to find ways for the electorate to conclude that it is socially if not politically correct to endorse his policies, and necessarily even the man, for another term.
That is also why I am stressing the video image of Trump as president. These images he has recently created go a long way toward brushing aside his narcissistic, New York image and will be remembered by voters who can comfortably vote knowing they are re-electing not a saint but a real president and for good reasons.
All the America bashing from this Colin freak and his ilk is as astounding as it is stupid.
These people live in a country in which the biggest problem is trying to keep people the hell OUT.
I forgot about that.
Tone deaf idiot he was.
It’s Xi not Yi. My mistake.
I”ll go with uniformed people who THINK they are informed because they get their ‘news’ indiscriminately and swallow it whole.
I don’t put anything past the democrats or most journalists.
But I’m very optimistic about Trump’s chances.
