President Trump's speech in Warsaw was a smash hit

The very same human being reviled by his political enemies as mentally unfit to serve under the 25th Amendment was wildly cheered by a huge crowd in Warsaw, chanting, "USA! USA!" and "Donald Trump! Donald Trump!"  His speech delighted them, highlighting Poland's courage, endurance, and faith as a mainstay in defending our civilization, historically and now.  It was one of his best speeches ever.

He was introduced by First Lady Melania Trump, who looked more comfortable and in command as a public speaker than ever before.  Perhaps living in the White House is solidifying her command of her role, or maybe being in a Slavic land made her relax.  But she sounded splendid introducing her husband and is an obvious asset to his presidency.  Shortly after the speech, this was announced:

The office of Slovenia's president says U.S. President Donald Trump has accepted an invitation to visit the small central European nation that is the homeland of his wife Melania.

Borut Pahor's office said in a statement Thursday that the Slovenian president extended the invitation on the sidelines of the Three Seas summit, a meeting of countries all bordered by the Baltic, Adriatic and Black seas.

It was not immediately clear when the visit could take place.

We can expect the broadcast and cable news nets to minimize this very visible triumph in Warsaw for the president, one that contradicts the narrative of him being a disaster.  They will solidify their irrelevance to the extent they downplay or ignore this important story.  A lot of markers were laid down for the coming meetings in Hamburg.

More Gonad envy, I think.

And I find it interesting that it happens to be in the place where the Soviet Union’s iron grip was shrugged off by the Poles following Pope John Paul the Great’s historic homecoming there.

I agree that we might just have seen history get made.

It was a towering and Reaganesque Berlin Wall speech for the 21st century. I’ve watched it a few times. So much good stuff in the speech and it was given in the perfect location.

I listened, getting ready for work this morning. I lingered to hear until completion. This was a historic speech by any measure. I've sought out the best in history. This was longer than most of the best, but it was required to reacquaint people of the world to historical facts. I was enamored by the speech. It had several levels, all connected by the theme of Godliness, liberty, family... and strength against ternary.

I'm going to reread this during the weekend. It's very dense and will take me some time to unpack, research (my maternal family emigrated to America from Poland in the 30's. But we - the 2nd generation - didn't know squat of their plight because they completely immersed themselves in American culture).

I thought Cato the Censor held the prize for ending every speech the same way!

[nopardons]

"CARTHAGE MUST BE DESTROYED! " was indeed Cato's never ending ending.

But Cicero had his pet phrases as well; not to mention the fact that third year Latin is ONLY Cicero ( first year is an introduction to Latin: a few short stories [ sort of like a Dick & Jane primer ], a simple myth here and there [Romulus & Remus, the rape of the Sabine women...}, and bits of ancient Roman history], second year is Julius Caesar and his book on the Gallic Wars, third year is Cicero, and fourth year is Virgil...thankfully ! ) and EVERY sentence was written in the damned subjunctive case! :-(
