Yes!! England nearly surrendered to Germany & Italy at the urging of Lord Halifax. Churchill listed to the English commoners who had courageous Backbones. Resolved, Winston filled the gap. NEVER SURRENDER!

Last summer I saw what Trump was doing and how the left reacted and I said, “He is our Churchill.”

It sounded kinda goofy at the time, but it’s becoming more and more clear he is exactly the man for our time. I was a huge Cruz supporter but I have to admit it would probably have been more “politics as usual, but with a slight shift to the right” if Cruz had won.

Trump is facing down BOTH political parties, the Ministry of Propaganda, the UN and all of its attendant internationalist organizations, the EU and most western European governments, Russia, China, North Korea and I haven’t even gotten to the biggest threat, ISLAM.
