As pundits pontificate about why Donald Trump became our next President, one salient fact stands out. Most of those pundits live in big cities on the coasts. As Henry Kissinger reportedly said, "You have to live off the intellectual capital you bring to Washington, D.C. because you will never have any time to add to it once you get here!" Since many pundits have not spent any substantial time outside of these cities, one must wonder if their intellectual wallets are empty!
Having insulted the cadre that I join with this rant, let us consider the "flyover country" that the bicoastal blatherers ignored, but which elected Donald Trump. It is the part of the United States where crops are grown, minerals are mined, and things are built. It is not the place where pencils are worn out rewriting rules about how crops, minerals, and other things come to be developed or used. It is not the place where academics argue about the best way to move money around. It is the place where America lives. Yes, there are Americans in the company of those self-important elites, but they live there as strangers in a strange land.
America is not a place. America is an idea that lives in a place called the United States. America declares that if you invest yourself in making a better life, you will not have your chance to succeed stolen by the government. This is the core of who Americans are. The Left hates America, because it also declares that your success or failure is largely your own responsibility.

Reminds me of when Asher Edelman was on CNBC explaining that we’ve been in a recession for 8 years, and the anchor said “What do you mean? Everyone I know is doing fine”.
America won because God heard and answered the prayers of His people. May 9/ll be a reminder to us all how we turned our backs on the Lord after a very short period of time after the tragedy. How sad. . .what could have been. .. If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
Great article.
“flyover country” = “f—ked-over country”
I hope you don’t expect me to read anything from the left-wing site Buzzfeed?
The difference is that the Japanese man on the left is the Emperor. The Japanese man on the right is just the Prime Minister.

*The difference is that the Japanese man on the left is the Emperor. The Japanese man on the right is just the Prime Minister.*
The REAL difference is that President-Elect Trump bows to no man! MAGA!
Enjoyable read. Saint Donald riding into DC to do battle for us in the heartland.
If I met the Queen of England or the Japanese emperor, I would bow. I think that DJT would, too. MAGA!
There no reading involved, and I think you’ll find it humorous.
You were right, there wasn’t, and they were all good.
Kind of silly, but sometimes you can tell a pretty good story with silly.
I appreciate the follow-up note.
It is actually accepted protocol that the POTUS does not bow, or otherwise act subserviently, to any country’s leader, whether elected or royalty.
No foreign leader expects the POTUS to do so.
Obama’s grovelling was not in accordance with accepted rules of conduct.
It’s a really beautiful thing, really.
Amen x 1000. Let us all remember the power of prayer. If freedom is extinguished in this blessed land, it is unlikely to be rekindled elsewhere,
