Friends, today I bring you a VERY special treat: a vintage MAGA Jack declamation, possibly the most exquiste form of literature you will ever encounter. You see, our pal Jack is having difficulty posting his usual heroic quantity of comments, and thus he has deputized me to share them with you. I am honored to do so!
BEHOLD:
Re the partisan cleric : She lamented that the groups for which she stood deserved DJT's mercy and that "their lives were in danger. Clearly she holds that his policies are deserving of a good scolding from the pulpit, no matter the ceremonial setting. Same old far left baloney, irrefutable condemnation upon accusation. But what exactly was her beef? She seemed to "feel" no responsibility for specificity, even in such a public setting where her profession is traditionally afforded deference.
We
have some of the most generous, democratically promulgated
immigration laws in the world. The debate preceding these laws
manifested all manner of merciful consideration of the conditions which
lead so many to seek residency in the US. The finalized laws, the
product of compromise between inevitably disagreed upon views,
incorporated some of this mercy. DJT has a Constitutional duty to
enforce those laws and demonstrates his resolve to do so.
Re her comments on the LGBTQ community: Is it merciful
to take legal action against parents who object to the exposure of their
young children to literature dictating radical leftist social views (
and condemning any misgivings )which contradict long established
traditions, standards and expectations, by teachers and librarians for
whom the children are a captive and authority bound audience? Is it
unmerciful of DJT to contradict such presumptuous lawfare and demagogic
indoctrination in very widely held controversial views, to mutable
youngsters? Is it unmerciful for DJT to support the multitudes of
parents who do not tolerate such discreditation of their authority and
responsibility for their precious childrens'well being ?!
Is
it unmerciful of DJT to act to oppose the presumptuous attempted
persuasion of our children to consider themselves fit to make decisions
which can irrevocably change their lives and cause them lifetime
regret?
Is it
unmerciful for DJT to declare that in Federal decision making the common
sense view of the great majority that there are (gasp) two genders
will be honored?
Is
it unmerciful of DJT to protect the sanctuaries traditionally accruing
to the sexes ; eg. in athletic competition , locker rooms and rest
rooms? Is it unmerciful of him to oppose the excoriation of people who
object to the absurd violations of such established standards promoted
by far leftists , who presumptuously misuse some LGBTQ people, in their
customary viciously bigoted manner?
HERE ENDETH THE COMMENTARY
I must say, I (and this is me, Herr Professor Doktor Waddy) agree wholeheartedly with Jack in this. It is a standard leftist conceit that their way of thinking and their actions are always consonant with "compassion" and, let's face it, moral goodness more generally. We conservatives, by contrast, are, by definition, mean and selfish and dumb. So, yes, Donald Trump ought to show mercy and kindness to, well, everyone, but that Christian duty can and is interpreted in countless ways by well-meaning people. A strong argument can be made that the pro-illegal immigration movement and the trans lobby have not, in fact, served the true interests of either constituency that they claim to champion...but no doubt these nuances never occurred to Bishop Budde, and we'd be wasting our breath if we brought them to the attention of progressives now. Suffice it to say that Jack, as usual, is right on point.

In other news, President Trump has issued an executive order commanding that documents related to the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK be released. Will we learn anything truly shocking? Time will tell, but it's a nice gesture that our new populist government considers us worthy to receive the truth.
The intensification of efforts to deport illegal immigrants is in its very earliest stages, and we still don't know what scale these deportations will occur at, but it sure looks like Trump means business!

One of the most important things that's happened since Trump's big victory in November has been an uptick in his favorability ratings, which were already historically high. In fact, for the first time ever in his political career, Trump is now more liked than he is disliked. This may seem like a minor thing, but it isn't. Everyone in Washington watches the polls, and a president's credibility and political capital depend on his popularity. The fact that the media campaign of vilification against Trump has stalled is extremely important. It will make it far easier for Trump to accomplish his goals.
Alas, the first instance of judicial obstructionism -- but certainly not the last -- has cropped up in Trump's second term. His attempt to redefine birthright citizenship has been put on hold. I say: press on, DJT! The courts will mostly fall in line, and, if they don't, get busy appointing new and better judges!
Finally, here's an article commended to me and to you by the inimitable Jack. It discusses how little the Left has learned from its recent defeat, and I concur. God Bless those lefties and their stubbornness! They make our job as patriots and conservatives so much easier.
Jack's rant consisted of a lot of MAGA foolishness that should not be taken seriously.
ReplyDeleteAs for Trump's favorability, the RCP poll did not include this week's Reuter's poll where Trump's favorability is 47%. More importantly, the TV ratings for Trump's inauguration were down over 20% from Biden's 2020 inauguration, and 20% from Trump's 2016 inauguration. Trump treat TV ratings with as much or more reverence as favorability ratings.
It's interesting that an unconstitutional executive order by Trump on birthright citizenship being called unconstitutional by a Reagan-appointed judge is considered judicial obstructionism. What, the Constitution does not apply anymore?
Rod
Hi Rod,
DeleteThank you for your posts on WaddyIsRight! Though I wouldn't call myself an instigator, I can't lie... sometimes a contrary viewpoint amongst those willing to attack it is entertaining.
But... my guy... are you really putting any stock in "TV ratings"? That Barometer is as ancient as the Reuters and their poling is old! (BTW... that might not be entirely accurate as Reuters was founded in 1851)
The fact that the legacy media and leftist use a TV Ratings metric is hysterical and a hopeful sign that their messaging is destined for the same fate as Nielsen.
Keep posting Rod. I love it!!
I don't care about the TV ratings, but Trump sure does.
DeleteRod
Hey Rod,
DeleteYou may have missed the point. You see... the decline in cable TV subscriptions has transformed how millions consume media, particularly evident in Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration speech.
Over the last 8 years, cable TV households has accelerated and dropped by a staggering 36 million, a 41% decrease.
The Cord-cutting trend has shifted viewership to digital platforms, where Trump's speech amassed around an additional 90 million views on platforms including "X" (72 million views), YouTube (5+ million views), and Rumble (1+ million views), to name a few.
The legacy media fails to mention all of those sources, which are not tracked by Nielsen ratings. In addition, many "corded" conservatives loath the outlets Nielsen does track (legacy cable news), further skewing the numbers.
When combining these digital numbers with traditional TV viewership, Trump's 2025 speech surpassed the total audience of both his 2017 inauguration and Joe Biden's 2021 event, highlighting the significant impact of streaming on modern media consumption.
BTW... knowledge of the above is not lost on Legacy Media or Nielsen. Just do a search for the drop in viewership and ad revenue to the likes of those channels The execs and producers are painfully aware, but continue the practice of lying and misleading their viewers. Hmmm... I wonder if that could have had anything to do with the last election's results?
Again, Richie, I was saying that Trump cares about TV ratings. He understands them, and knows shit about streaming numbers. That's why he hasn't been bragging about his audience for the inauguration.
DeleteBTW, Nielsen does track Fox News, which corded conservatives love, and was the most popular legacy news outlet, so your argument there about the ratings not picking up conservatives is a bogus one.
What he has done is lie about things like winning the young vote by 36%. Kamala Harris got 54% of the youth vote. That would mean 1) Trump got 90% of the youth vote and 2) there was 144% of the youth vote rather than 100%! Then again, Trump does suck at math.
Rod
Rod!
DeleteOne network out of many to which conservatives may tune in proves the point.
Your answer also shows you missed how Trump got his message out during the campaign and the platforms upon which he focused.
One can only hope that going forward the left puts stock in Nielsen and follows your lead.

ReplyDeleteThis is Baker Team calling Anonymous. Come in Anonymous. Do You Read Me? Over.
DeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: Oh of course DJT faces judicial blocks, especially when either a strained construction of precedent enables a Federal district court Judge in wherever to stop a Presidential executive order, or if the executive branch has been loath to oppose this usurped de facto"authority". This would be a very good issue to bring to Congress or to argue in higher Federal courts ,now .
ReplyDeleteIt is absurd and perhaps not intended by the founders that the decisions of Judges' whose nominal geographic jurisdiction is limited to localities within the US, be allowed to dictate nationwide executive authority. It is traditional in the US legal system that decisions by Judges of lower tiers are authoritative ONLY in their geographic jurisdictions, They may be accepted by a Judge in another legal jurisdiction but only as persuasive, rather than mandatory authority. These far leftists will probably persist in locating obsequious Judges to further their unpopular incipiently dictatorial causes, of which this, that presumption itself may well be a part. But their use of this to command significant aspects of national law must be ended. And we have just the administration to do it now.
I believe only the Supreme Court and the appellate duties of its justices (who actually did ride Circuit first) was established by the Constitutution. The authority of established distinct Federal court levels, like the Circuit Court of Appeals and the Federal District Courts , came about, again, because of the land expansion of the US. These Courts are, I believe, subject to modification by statute or Federal judicial construction and now would be a good time to pursue that in this often unjust case. Again, its utterly unreasonable that a Federal Judge sitting in Seattle can, on his or her own, delay or obviate measures established by Federal Executive or Congressional authority.
This is not a close case. Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship clearly violates the 14th Amendment. If he wants to get rid of Birthright Citizenship, then he should call for a constitutional amendment to do so.
DeleteShould this get to the Supreme Court (which would be a really sad reflection of our legal system), Trump will lose at least 5-4 (Roberts and Barrett will join with Jackson, Kagan and Sotomayor). Roberts and Barrett, while conservative, are also constitutionalists, and won't overturn the plain language of the 14th Amendment.

Dr. Waddy from Jack: You ain't kidding on the significance of a further retreat by the MSM. They may be headed for the comic and ridiculous status of pro wrestling - laughable only but yeah, still around. . It's easy for all of us to do: just don't view MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC or CNN. Don't read articles from the Washington Post and NYTimes, wherever they are reprinted .
ReplyDeleteThe unprincipled leftist journalism schools might want to get with the
program and help to return their profession to the creditability it once enjoyed. But if not , let that compromised profession just give up and leave it the far more popularly responsible on line sources. Sure, there would be continuing political biases but the public could readily choose which ones they would want to view. Those who made journalism into the contemptible carnival it is now ought to become professional pariahs.
Baker team from Jack: Uhh, yes, I guess, as far as I can tell.
ReplyDeleteRAY TO JACK
DeleteThat was a take off from the first Rambo movie "First Blood" during which his former commander from "The Nam" was contacting him using his old call sign "Raven".
With regard to President Trump getting into it with this asexual looking Episcopal cleric, there is some hypocrisy going on here. Not all that long ago, and if I remember correctly (or unless that was fake news), two (2) gay guys were married at Mar-a-Lago. Both were "Log Cabin Republicans" from Tennessee. With that said, my opinion is that Trump really doesn't give a damn about the moral aspects of the LGBTQ ideology.
As far as the transgender part of that goes, what is he going to be able to do about the prestigious Transgender Clinic at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, who make huge profits by performing transgender surgeries?
In addition, one of the largest "Christian" denominations in the U.S., The United Methodist Church, actively supports LGBTQ, as does The Episcopal Church, and The United Church of Christ.
Don't expect President Trump to solve our moral and spiritual problems in any way. Forget it! Only the churches can do it, and they are not doing it, with the exception of some Independent, Fundamental Baptist Churches, mostly in California, of all places.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: And oh yes, I'd recommend we all boycott the Associated Press. I just skip over any article they publish. It is another venerable old institution completely biased in favor of the antiamerican left.
ReplyDeleteRay from Jack: I don't think DJT wants to attack LGBTQ; I do think he wants to stop those LGBTQ people who choose to attack America using their sexual orientation or reality as full justification.
ReplyDeleteRay from Jack: BUt then there has been the historic schism in the very
ReplyDeletelarge United Methodist Church, over irreconcilable doctrinal differences . The Great Awakenings of the 19th and 20th centuries were, I believe, religiously fostered developments. But I see in the election of DJT the beginning of a neo Great Awakening which will nonetheless have religion as a key element, along with many cultural issues. I hope it includes the discreditation of the opportunistic and counterintuitive far left dictate that separation of church and state means separation of religion from our politics and , of course, government . My my, perhaps that dissatisfied Priest who Dutch Uncled DJT could lead this new mass redemption. She demonstrated no qualms about juxtapositioning church and state from her pulpit.
Rod, you can't deny that Trump is more popular than ever before. That's just math. And TV ratings in 2016 have little relevance to TV ratings in 2024, as everyone vaguely familiar with the internets is well aware. Richie is right to guffaw at your analysis. Rod, did you know that a shockingly low number of singing telegrams were sent to celebrate Biden's 2020 "win"? We should have known he was destined to be a one-term president based on that metric alone...
ReplyDeleteRod, the Constitution most definitely applies! Much of it is ambiguous, which of course leftist judges have exploited to the hilt. I say what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
An interesting point about national injunctions issued at the district court level, Jack. I'm on board. Maybe it's time for SCOTUS to revisit the issue? BTW, might some court decisions be so off the wall as to merit the removal of the relevant judge(s)? Lefties might like that idea, depending on who's doing the removing...
Rod's SCOTUS predictions, if they are as sound as his election forecasts, give me hope that birthright citizenship won't be around much longer!
Jack, I doubt that the legacy media will disappear, but it will transform itself so utterly as to be unrecognizable, as arguably it already has. Of course, synergy between old and new media isn't a completely unrealistic goal, either. The NY Times and the WaPo aren't really "newspapers" anymore. They're digital megaphones that distribute content across various social media platforms. They keep the Left in the game, if nothing else. And I would remind conservatives that nothing prevents the Left from getting better at exploiting new media.
I agree with Ray that there's little evidence that Trump cares about most LGBTQ+++ issues. As outspoken as he's been about the trans issue (because it's popular), he's been totally silent on traditional marriage (since it no longer is). It's a small miracle that we've won a temporary victory over the Left in one of the culture wars, but I wouldn't get complacent, because neither the trans movement nor the Left is going away. The main principle we need to defend, in any case, is that it is not "hate" or "discrimination" to differ with the Left's views on sexual identity. It's every American's right to do so.
Jack, not sure I fully endorse the idea of boycotting the legacy media. Yes, I hope their ratings tank, but I find them useful as sources of information nonetheless. We need to know what the establishment and the elite are thinking, and the media tells us each and every day. Know thy enemy is the first and most important rule of war.
I don't see much sign of a Great Awakening. A Great Blaspheming, maybe...
RAY TO DR. WADDY
DeleteI think of what is happening now as "The Great National Bowel Movement," figuratively speaking of course. Been 4 years of Leftist constipation, finally dealt with by a generous dollop of Right-Wing Castor Oil.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: You are right; when it comes to LGBTQ our main task and DJT has already courageously acted on it, is to smack down the radical left when it cynically uses LGBTQ issues as part of its many faceted campaign to impose totalitarian compliance with its "unimpeachable" principles. It wants to make it so that ANYTHING it decrees is unopposeable writ and any opposition is by definition beyond the pale of human decency and justice . Hombre DJT ain't scared by that!
ReplyDeleteRod from Jack: I agree with you in that birthright citizenship cannot legally be done sans Constitutional Amendment. If you meant that assertion though (?) as a reply to my criticism of the fact that Federal District Court judges can stop Presidential orders I would reply its beside the point. Such judges should simply not be suffered to exercise such counterintuitive influence. I think its similar to some of the reasons the Brits had to get free of the EU. They didn't want any foreign judge endlessly tasking measures they wanted. And it shouldn't be possible for a faction to recruit Judges with only highly localized geographic jurisdictions to take cynical advantage of their biases.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: I would love to see the legislatures in common sense states defund state supported journalism departments the c curricula of which confirms that they seek to make radical left wing principles into professional standards for their graduates.
ReplyDeleteRay, as always, you hit the colon on the head!
ReplyDeleteJack, you make an excellent point: where is the MAGA revolution at the state level? Isn't it high time that we instituted radical forms of school choice -- maybe even abolished public schools here and there -- and defunded all odious programs and courses in state-supported higher ed? DJT is making our red governors look like weaklings!
P.S. Trump may be bad at math, but he's good at winning presidential elections, which I daresay is more important.
