After eight years with a figurehead as president, Washington cannot handle a president who follows the Constitution and the law. – Don Surber, “What part of “president” do they not understand?
There are many attitudes and emotions that drive the left; this one is front and center. A very good read, just in case you missed it.
But this outta scare the bleep out of them: “Howard Root: Live from Duluth”
When I arrived at 4:00 p.m., the line for admission was at least a half mile long. People had been lining up since before 10:00 a.m., with the line snaking through a glass skyway where the afternoon sun had raised the temperature to over 100. I’ve seen shorter lines for Springsteen tickets, yet everyone was exceptionally polite.
I only saw one protester on the walk over. He was standing on the street corner with his two small children and yelling “F*** Trump” as everyone walked past. On the way back to the car after the event I only saw three scraggly protesters trying to incite the crowd, to no avail other than getting detained by the police officers. I never saw the protest march or talk with anyone who saw it.
At least 25 percent of the audience was under the age of 30, and around 40 percent were women. The senior citizen percentage was less than 10 percent — the lowest I’ve ever seen at a Republican event. Other than the hundred or so party leaders, this was a vastly different crowd from the Minnesota Republican Convention that I attended in Duluth three weeks ago. None of the attendees I spoke with in the concession line at the rally were politically active (other than voting) and none were born-and-bred Republicans.
The crowd was “10,000 strong.” I read elsewhere that the venue had to be upgraded to accommodate everyone who wanted to attend.
That was last night. Today, as you know, Trump temporarily altered the law requiring separation of children from their parents in certain circumstances at the border through an executive order. He’s asked the military for help make appropriate accommodations and, once again, reminded Congress of their obligation to fix the problem with legislation. Well…the media flipped out tripping all over themselves all day as they shifted the focus of their unrelenting attack. “End your zero tolerance policy,” they demanded, apparently unaware they were asking the President to operate in defiance of the law.
Unaware also that the one man they praised as brilliant and treated as compassionate, Barack Obama, had explained the situation to them at least 22 times. Let’s try number four:
“[T]here are those in the immigrants’ rights community who have argued passionately that we should simply provide those who are [here] illegally with legal status, or at least ignore the laws on the books and put an end to deportation until we have better laws. … I believe such an indiscriminate approach would be both unwise and unfair. It would suggest to those thinking about coming here illegally that there will be no repercussions for such a decision. And this could lead to a surge in more illegal immigration. And it would also ignore the millions of people around the world who are waiting in line to come here legally. Ultimately, our nation, like all nations, has the right and obligation to control its borders and set laws for residency and citizenship. And no matter how decent they are, no matter their reasons, the 11 million who broke these laws should be held accountable.”
Also gone from their memory banks is the You Tube Video featuring children with a poster that reads, “Obama don’t separate me from my Mommy.”
Trump is the president, a problem solver that the sore loser left just can’t abide. They want to force him to do things their way…such autocratic control freaks…acting like dictators. Good luck with that.
Trumps goals, once achieved, make life in America better. We all know that through our own experiences.
Tired of winning yet?
A solemn aside: RIP Charles Krauthammer. He will be sorely missed.
“The crowd was “10,000 strong.”
Aw, come on … that’s pitiful … and he had to go to Duluth to get it.
The elderly ACDC gets bigger crowds.
That’s cause ACDC’s a rock band, not a president.
Obama got similar crowds in 2008 and look how that turned out…he was a magical performer on stage, good talker, lousy leader.
ACDC. Sorry, I can’t resist.
So, about a year ago, I did a ride along with my daughter here in the DFW area. Short version—a vehicle stop (driver only) turns into a marijuana bust. The driver is female, mixed race, 40ish, frumpy, docile and co-operative. She also has this sort of Square Pants Sponge Bob orange hairdo.
I watch the whole scene from my seat in the cruiser as backup arrives and the arrest is made. The whole time, the cruiser is running (for A/C) and the FM radio is playing a rock n’ roll station. My daughter cuffs the driver and then loads her in the back seat behind me.
We sit for a minute as my daughter does some paperwork. A meek voice comes from the back seat—
“Officer, I’m sorry I lied about the marijuana”.
My daughter replies matter of factly “That’s OK. Just explain everything to the judge”.
At that point, she puts the cruiser in gear to start the trip to the jail. As God is my witness, at that moment “Highway to Hell” starts up on the FM radio. Again, the voice from the back seat–
“Do you play this for everyone?”.
I had teeth marks in my tongue from trying so hard not to bust out laughing.
Yer killin’ me! Great story!
“And the federal courts are triple-boned on this:
either they decline to review the EO, and cede their authority to the President (not going to happen),
or they overrule their prior ruling, and cede their authority back to the executive branch (not going to happen),
or they strike down the EO, and we go right back to throwing the illegal little bastards right back in the same cages into which they’ve been placed non-stop since the early 1990s, by three prior presidents before Trump came into office.
(That’s a win-win-win hat trick, if you’re keeping score at home.)”

Love seeing Trump outmaneuver the dems’ every move. He’s driving them bat-sh** crazy because he’s not the usual roll-over lap-dog past republican president they’re used to dealing with.
He’s a master at turning issues around on them, just like he did with the Angel Moms telling their heartbreaking stories. He pointed out they will never hold their dead child in their arms again to counter the act of temporarily separating a mother and child, who chose to break our laws by bringing her child here. No comparison. Dems loose again.
