Home run into the upper deck.

15 minutes shorter would have been out of the park.

He sure as hell has the guts and determination as the great Winston Churchill.

“and the camera showed a pretty wide angle of black dems sitting stone cold still with absolutely NO expression on their faces!”

Yep, that stood out to me too. A black person with a good job is someone who doesn’t need them. Although they tried to be stone-faced you could see the rage seething underneath the surface on some of them.

Just saw a clip of Bernie on FNC, where he was saying that Pres. Trump didn’t mention even once “climate change” and that DJT doesn’t believe in science. I laughed.

Thanx for the confirmation.

These are not human beings imo ...

President Trump spoke positively and with enough intelligent English to prove to any reasonable person that he is a sincere and determined man and wants nothing more than to MAGA.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has a mental image of the Norman Rockwell imagery that The (old) Post used to feature.

Read a book by Bruce Catton, "The Coming Fury" about the lead up to CW1. The parallels are frightening. The same people, dims, squalling the same way, and no democrats condemning the sociopaths who want to shoot.

Back then, they were known as Fire Eaters and Copperheads. Today it's Antifa, BAMN, BLM.

Here is the difference. War, it's reasoning, conduct, reality, was largely idealized. Flags, trumpets, bands and bayonet charges in dressed lines. Today, it's 4th Gen Warfare, and the shadows of 50,000,000 dead within living memory.

I'm a big fan of simplification. This time, if the Left does not have a sudden epiphany and somehow get smart pills, there is going to be 25,000,000 dead Leftists, ex-Americans, or Americans In Name Only, and billions of birds are going to be feasting until they explode...

I've GOT to buy more ammo...

Great. So I know what to expect from my local ABC/CBS/FOX/NBC/NEWSRADIO/NEWSRAGS down in south Florida: a never ending parade of DemonRats and RINOs spewing out venom about how eeeeevil Trump is.

Yeah, it was an inspiring moment that connected his determination with the salvation ultimately secured by the U.S. Military in S.K.

It was an amazing SOTU.

Well, there it is. Only 97% of Republicans approve: He’’s losing his base! We knew it wouldn’t last:)

That’s a TREMENDOUS percentage.

You figure it should peak at 60 percent when you include the 40 percent die hard dems.

90 percent means many dems are not as hard left as their core.

...”I’m kicking myself for saying this. But Trump almost seems like a superhero at this point. What happens when the memo is released?”...

He is a superhero. Who else could have continued to work and deliver to this nation everything he has done this year in the face of the hatred, envy and brutality brought against him by the entrenched “swamp” which is represented by the left in America, who, by the way, also hate the freedom our government provides for us, the common folks. It looks like the “swamp” had turned into a dictatorship. Takes time to root out something like that.

My guess is that many of his adversaries didn’t watch so weren’t counted. I know I never watched an Obama speech. His voice made me sick.

...”I just switched to CNN, they had a bottom headline (not the news crawl) or whatever it’s called that read: “Trump calls for unity, fails to mention Russia investigation”

If it wasn’t so pathetic it would be...well, still PATHETIC.”...

They are outrageous and worthless as a news organization. However, they do what they do because they think it keeps their base. Little do they know that a significant portion of people who watch them, watch out of curiosity as to just how far they will distort and twist the news today. In my view, if they are smart, they will take the opportunity of the SOTU speech to begin to change their ways. I won’t hold my breath.

““and the camera showed a pretty wide angle of black dems sitting stone cold still with absolutely NO expression on their faces!””

Yes, they looked like a bunch of “Black Preachers” who have just learned that their Cadillacs have been repossessed! Herman Cain remarked to Sean Hannity that they are “not recoverable!”

Nearly everyone got a raise in their paychecks this week. I can assure you, not one of them EVER thought that could/would happen.

I don't care how small....$20 a week = $1040. (x 10 years = $10,400). That's a nice vacation or new appliances, or steak instead of chicken.

Thank you President Trump and the Republicans who supported him.

It's a Win-Win for everyone.

The whole party sat for God, the flag, parents of children murdered by illegals(some actually booed!), blacks and hispanics getting jobs and on and on.

They even did so when Trump expressed platitudes towards the building they were all in: The US Capitol, calling it "The Peoples House" (or some such, I don't remember his exact words) ... not a whisper from the Dem side. Pathetic.

What happens when the memo is released?

Assassinations? CW II? Status quo?

Accidental suicides?
