Friends, I haven't yet watched the speech, but it looks like the President really let the Left have it yesterday at Mount Rushmore. His remarks were a brilliant indictment of their "totalitarianism", and a spirited defense of America's heritage and exceptionalism. The media responded with its usual sneering contempt, needless to say. No matter -- that just means he struck a nerve!

One thing is for sure: we conservatives love this country, and increasingly our enemies and adversaries hate it. If Trump can make the 2020 election a referendum on America and its essential goodness, I haven't any doubt that he can and will win. Luckily, the Dems are playing right into our hands.

In other news, there are two new studies that suggest that coronavirus herd immunity could be closer than we think.

This a fantastic graphic that underlines many of the points that I made in my most recent article: the toll of COVID-19 is falling, even as the case count rises. You would think this would matter to the talking heads, but alas it doesn't.

My wife and I visited Mount Rushmore many years ago. It was her first visit and my second. Here is a monument I am sure The Left trash would love to destroy, and replace it with whoever. How about George Floyd? Why not! Replace some real heroes in our history with the face of a criminal and drug addict. After all, such dregs are who the Left admires the most. If there was any possibility of that, I would just as soon return The Black Hills to the Indian Tribes who originally thought of it as a sacred area. Then they could blow it up if they felt they needed to, and replace it with the face of some Indian Nation Chief. I could live with that instead of the possibility that now exists that a bunch of left wing "abortions who lived" might desecrate it to fulfill their infantile lusts and fantasies. PRAY TO GOD THAT TRUMP WINS IN NOVEMBER 2020. PRAY FOR GOD'S MERCY ON THIS NATION, AND THAT HE WILL DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy and Ray: Some random observations: left wing abortions are not meant to be treated as "life" because to the left they never WERE life. Why just fetal tissue that's all! I mean, "Surgeon General" Elders schooled us on that 30 years ago, with Hillary and Randy Bill dancing attendance to her every unassailable pronunciamento, yes?
ReplyDeleteI fully expect the American Taliban left to attempt at some point an artillery barrage on Stone Mt and even Rushmore should it think itself empowered to do so. But it will need the cooperation of some of the military. I doubt if it would get it. Of course, surreptitious placement of explosives might detach George's nose and he would join the Sphinx in the conjectures of distant future archaeologists.
Dr. Waddy: Any manner of objective evaluation of the "pandemic" which tends to indicate that it is not the threat it may understandably have been thought to be just three months ago (of course "progressives" casually celebrate expeditious modern information technology)is to the left, ANATHEMA (though cleansed of the religious origins of that term). This may well be 1789 to them and anything which discredits it, including of course empirical evidence, is morally condemned, with all of the sanctions required by such grievous offense.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy: I agree: President Trump must take the offensive against the America haters. And he can do so with consummate credibility. His term proves his devotion to the real America, that America which acknowledges faults (though cautiously, knowing the left will, with the help of its MSM toadies,seize on ANY admission of fault; after all, they would NEVER stoop to that,they are warriors thru and thru) but yet affirms that our country is fundamentally just and NOT in need of "fundamental transformation".He's just the gutsy guy to do this and he deserves our unwavering support. He needs it; he's human and if we fail him then woe on us. He is our best hope; just consider what his Supreme Court would be like after four more years - a permanent barrier to radical presumption! What will we get under a Dem? Totalitarianism! Take a look at NY state today for a preview.
ReplyDeleteRay, you're right that the Left chooses some awfully flawed "heroes". The mind boggles at what the Progressive Hall of Fame would look like!
ReplyDeletePrayer is a very apt and relevant response to the plight our nation finds itself in. God's mercy is always precious and, in fact, necessary. Plus, those of us who are Christian at least can take comfort in the fact that we always knew men were mortal and deeply flawed. Our failings thus can be viewed with a certain detachment, and this world can be seen for what it is: a pale, imperfect shadow of the next.
Would the military ever cooperate with the Left's planned campaign of vengeance and purification? Don't count out the possibility. The military is infected with "wokeness" less than many other key institutions, but it isn't immune. Expect a whole lot of forced retirements as well, when Al Sharpton takes the helm as SecDef.
Well said, Jack. Any Republican who hopes for a Trump loss to revamp the party would be conceding control of the Supreme Court to people who view it as a means to obtain total, permanent sway. Roberts is a disappointment. A truly left-wing Court would revolutionize American life and make it impossible for the wheels of democracy ever to turn again.
Dr. Waddy: I think it is becoming clear what the prospects are for the very dominant Taliban faction of the otherwise pathetic American left. These present disorders are perhaps an all unlooked for once in a lifetime windfall which must NOT be ignored!
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy: The American Taliban faces two certainties beyond this central conviction:" THIS IS the MAIN CHANCE; RIGHT NOW! We have two choices if we will but seize them as did our comrades in 1917":
ReplyDeleteFirst," Trump will win and then we can unleash the WHIRLWIND! Second: he loses and Biden's radical running mate becomes President in very good time. And then... the deluge!"
Well said, Jack. The choice does appear to be that stark. One consolation is that, every day, the Left gives us more and more ammunition to use against them. If we fail in 2020, it will be because we dropped the ball, pure and simple.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy: I'm very much encouraged by the President's aggressive approach lately. He must convince the real America that the existential threat to all we value, which we have discussed for years, is HERE AND NOW! Of course the American Taliban will overreach; it always does when it thinks it can't lose. That will provide us much useful ammunition. We will be best served by this consummate player who speaks for us using what the incipient and expectant dictators give him, as a canny guy like him does. His leadership now is indispensable; he must continue to assure us that he is on the side of all Americans who know our country does not need "fundamental transformation" and that those who do serve only the ends of cynical, demonstrated sociopathic (how many millions of dead fetuses?)totalitarians. Those many among the latter who are of good will simply and tragically enable those with the worst of intent.
ReplyDeleteDR. Waddy: And YES! You are right. WE must be THERE for him throughout this yet again, but so much more so this time, decisive campaign.
ReplyDeleteDR. Waddy:For our correspondents in the real America from occupied NY State: There are many of us here but we cannot outvote the amoeba on the Hudson and the dismissive American Taliban cadre it sends to "our" state junta (legislature and of course our imperious satrap Cuomo). Please, regard our situation as a guarantee of what you all will face if you do not turn out in strength to deny the now completely compromised Dems the power they seek to "fundamentally tranform"our country into what you have seen "demonstrated" over the last three months, particularly since the completely biased campaign of the main stream media and its Dem darlings, to condemn the police who stand between us and anarchy. IT WILL Be official Federal Government policy if we fail President Trump in the election.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy et al: Should the President be defeated look for the following: An all out effort to recapture the Supreme Court for the American Taliban left. First, the leftist oldsters will willingly depart to be replaced by who? AOC?" Why that never could happen!" Nor could the legal forcing of Christian bakers to decorate antiChristian symbols in dismissive contempt for Christian principles. Nor could " speech codes" tyrannically and unConstitutionally enforced at tax payer supported campuses be institutionalized. Suppression of free speech and intellectual freedom in the American academy and in very much of supposedly" free" government" is now routine, due to American Taliban left tyranny. And we should just accept that, yes? NO!
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy: Real America: to derail this certainty (again, let us in the People's Republic of NY assure you: it will happen if you don't prevent it)!We of common sense in NY have not the power to do so and we are experiencing everyday the tightening of the leftist noose. You CAN prevent it! Believe us!
ReplyDeleteQuite right, Jack: Trump is leading the charge against leftist totalitarianism, and if his Mount Rushmore speech is any indication he can articulate the high stakes brilliantly. Ideally, though, it would be nice if the media were exposing some of the excesses of the Left as well. Sadly, they seem determined to stick their heads in the sand. I suspect many of them are disgusted by cancel culture, the destruction of history, the silencing of all dissent to BLM, etc. They will hold their tongues for now, though, in deference to "the cause". That makes our job much harder. In the past, you could count on the media to critique the Left, oh, 10% of the time. Now it's 0%.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are right: we need to reach moderate and uncommitted voters in purple states most of all, plus "soft" Trump supporters.
Dr. Waddy: One thing I hadn't considered: the blogosphere and social media must provide very much frankly expressed resistance to the American Taliban, including perhaps from those of good will on the left. Perhaps this is the true measure of commitment against the totalitarians (I have heard some of them denounce social media for insolently and perversely tolerating this , so it must be getting to them; this would explain their determination to suppress it). Anyone who is persuaded by the MSM these days is a shill and much to be pitied.The truth is to be had online and that's no small thing. It could be decisive. Sure, the terribly well organized far left can turn out physical numbers sufficient to overwhelm conservative expression in public places but you can't pack a mob in a laptop.
ReplyDeleteJack, there is a (mostly Marxist) "Twitter mob" to drown out the conservatives on social media, but you're right that the "Wild West" ambiance online does permit right-thinking Americans a measure of freedom, and a degree of opportunity to make converts. Our voices are muffled in social media. But muffled is way better than obliterated!
