Trump Is No Friggin Saint

 

Trump is no friggin saint.

But he has fought more for the interests of the common man than all the knaves in Congress.

Trump Is Still Your President

 

It's 11/10/2020, and Trump is still your president.

Oh, and Biden is NOT "president elect," even though he paid too much for a backdrop that said so.

Next Biden's going to claim: "I'm emperor of my toes. See! They do what I say ... Where's my pudding!?!"

Biden just lost ...

The first presidential debate Biden just lost ...

"I'm not a socialist. ... I don't support the Green New Deal." - Biden
"You just lost the Left." - Trump

"Antifa is an idea and not an organization." - Biden
"When a bat hit you over the head it's not an idea." - Trump
Biden just lost the moderates.

"Your party wants to go socialist medicine." - Trump
"My party is me. Right now I am the Democratic Party." - Biden
Biden just lost his sense of self.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. ...
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. ...
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. ...
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha." - Biden
Biden just lost his train of thought.

Trump Vs. The Democrats

The Democrats have all their pieces on the
table, but the Orange Man is playing a
different game.

We Outsourced The Fight

According to Michael Bane, gun-rights advocates are failing on two fronts, and a new one has opened up:

1. "The willingness to outsource the fight."

2. "Inability to consolidate victory."

3. "We are now in a Culture War" and that makes it a "zero-sum game."

Whom did we outsource the fight to? Bane said it was pretty much left up to Gun Culture 2.0, and they did what the rest of us did (Gun Culture 1.0) - which was not much. But I think the most important that we ALL did was act like "membership" WAS the fight. We joined the NRA. We followed Facebook gun pages. We liked posts and loved tweets. We enjoyed the echo chamber. 

We do make small victories. Bane contends that we elected Trump, but what have we gotten for it? And he said that the same thing went for Bush, Jr. We do not hold our elected officials to task and account, and Republicans in Congress are demonstrating that in spades. We rest on shaky laurels; we do not consolidate victories - judicial, legislative, elected, and appointed.

And now with the liberal MSM and politicians pandering to youth, Bane finally contends that we are in a Culture War in which the anti-private-gun faction wants us dead. They want to rip private guns from American culture, and since they are so determined to pursue this Culture War, then this is a zero-sum game. Either we win, or they win.

Well, I believe that we will never lose. We may have setbacks - like most of the 20th century, but gun rights are on an upswing with concealed carry and Constitutional carry, and the judiciary slowly recognizing the natural, individual right to arms.

So what have I done? I have argued with Facebook friends and foes - and edjumacated coworkers, but did I do anything political?

Well, in this modern social-media age, I did offer kudos to my U.S. Rep, when he posted his NRA rating on Facebook - and I defended him and encouraged him and he responded positively. But I haven't written a letter to a pol in a couple years, and I've never done anything else.

 So what to do? I listened to the recent Society and the State podcast episode "How To Lobby In Your Pajamas." Connor Boyack's main strategy is, if I can be so bold to paraphrase: Treat politicians as people. Offer them a free lunch. Honor their accomplishments (of course, the ones that went our way). Even if they are not NRA "A+" rated, we still need to make them feel appreciated. Give kudos for non-gun issues. Make your contact with them a positive experience, and of course, contact them about the issues you care about.

What else, I don't know. But in the meantime, I need to research what my Congress people have been doing - and contact them.

Oh, yeah. Apparently, state-level gun rights organizations can be really effective and need more attention.

You might be saying: "What's this we crap?" If you have been active in lobbying politicians and defending our rights, then I say: "Thank you."

The New Juvenilism

I couldn't begrudge the liberal MSM's antics the early morning that Donald J. Trump won the presidency. They were going through mourning, including plenty of bargaining, over something they were highly emotionally, unprofessionally invested in.

I didn't begrudge them. I felt for and empathized with their loss. But I still laughed heartily. And I still enjoy videos of their suffering.

I was also emotional invested in the elected. I cheered for joy. But I did NOT loose my mind, start petting my guns, and thank God Trump for allows me to burn liberals at the stake. 

Moving on. Thanks to Mark Dice, I have learned of a new Watergate involving Trump. It is a minor story, but it illustrates quiet well the mentality of many "journalists" we have come to trust over the years.

Watergate II 

If you thought Iran-Contra, Whitewater, Lowensky, Benghazi, or others were the new Watergate, you were wrong. During a press conference in November, President Trump needed a drink of water. Through the valiant efforts of several hack reporters, our president acquired the much needed hydration and was able the continue the press conference.

Needless to say, the MSM found "news" in this incident.

"The average male hand measures 7.4 inches from wrist to fingertip and 3.30 inches across the palm. If Trump's hands are not sufficiently large for him to easily grasp the 500 mL bottle with just one of them, then the logical fit would be the next size down: the Lil' FIJI." (11/15/17 drivel)

- Serious New Juvenilist Kastalia Medrano of Newsweek 

And crazily, Newsweek has not bother to remove that crap. 

There is nothing like clinging to minutiae as harbingers of social standing. But it gets worse.

The main-stream (self-avowed silly) media latched onto the story like an available teat, and helped further to discredit the likes of CNN (Fake News Network) and Newsweek (Newsweak) by aping their delivery.

This incident succinctly illustrates the new mentality of the MSM. They have been able to combine journalistic skills with pubescent fretting. They are the new junvenilists. 

Trump: MSM's Master

Trump just continues to bat around CNN and the rest of the LSM (lame stream media).

Basket of Deplorables

We many, we happy millions, we basket of deplorables;
For thee to-day that shed your votes with me
Shall be my compatriot, be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlepersons in utter shock
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not apart,
And hold their morals cheap whiles any speaks
That chose with us upon Election Day.
