In this clash of civilizations, the courageous, unrelenting fight for America's future is beyond paramount. If eyes are not open to this after the latest Islamic attack, then one may be hopelessly lost in the fake utopian world into which the Left sucks the gullible.
Congratulations to Gov. Mike Pence on being chosen to run for Vice President. Pence is an accomplished Indiana politician with decades of politics under his belt. He is a devoted family man, and he is a gentleman. He will serve well as Trump's partner; Trump's second in command. Commonsense, independent patriots must now be wholly united and involved in this election process. Recognizing the nation's enemies hellbent on decimating us militarily and economically, it's wise to insist gentlemanly politics to take a back seat to the fighting Warrior spirit that must drive all our leaders in this upcoming epic battle for America's security, solvency and sovereignty. A GOP team is now set to win that battle through strengthening our military, our Supreme Court, our balance sheet, and our common resolve to finally put America first.
Congratulations to the Pence family: stand your ground and fight alongside your dad through the coming months and years of scrutiny. Illegitimi non carborundum.

“Don’t Let the Bastards Grind You Down.”
Can't have that. /s
“Commonsense, independent patriots must now be wholly united and involved in this election process.”
“Recognizing the nation’s enemies hellbent on decimating us militarily and economically, it’s wise to insist gentlemanly politics to take a back seat to the fighting Warrior spirit that must drive all our leaders in this upcoming epic battle for America’s security, solvency and sovereignty.”
Sarah states our situation in a concise and clear manner in a message that will be ingrained and resonate in the minds of middle America voters.
Can’t take a joke? That “Illigitimi non Carborundum” has been around at least since the 80s. I remember it as “translating”to: “Don’t let the bastards WEAR you down.” But I think maybe GRIND is even better. TRUMP - PENCE 2016.
Not a phrase used either by Cicero or Seneca, but General Stilwell used it as his motto during the war. Should be good enough for a red blooded American, no?

“Fake Latin gibberish”
High school Latin majors hardest hit
Illegitimi non carborundum is mock Latin meaning = the unlawful are not silicon carbide. Draw your own conclusions ...
As a matter of fact, the following are words of Thomas Jefferson, that great giant of the Revolution, when, late in life, he and former his one time bitter opponent in a Presidential election, resumed their friendship through letters.
1812, January 21: Jefferson to Adams_____________Reading, as we have today, a column contributed by a prominent presidential political family member who, until now, might have been expected to be "fellow laborers" in the battle of preserving the "cause" of liberty for which Adams, Jefferson, and all the other brave souls of that time sacrificed, contested each other, and --won our freedom!A letter from you calls up recollections very dear to my mind. It carries me back to the times when, beset with difficulties and dangers, we were fellow laborers in the same cause, struggling for what is most valuable to man, his right of self-government. Laboring always at the same oar, with some wave ever ahead threatening to overwhelm us and yet passing harmless under our bark, we knew not how, we rode through the storm with heart and hand, and made a happy port. . . .
But whither is senile garrulity leading me? Into politics, of which I have taken final leave. I think little of them, and say less. I have given up newspapers in exchange for Tacitus and Thucydides, for Newton and Euclid; and I find myself much the happier. Sometimes indeed I look back to former occurrences, in remembrance of our old friends and fellow laborers, who have fallen before us. Of the signers of the Declaration of Independence I see now living not more than half a dozen on your side of the Potomak, and, on this side, myself alone.
But, no, that kind of generous spirit== the kind that puts away political calumny and rivalry for the sake of liberty--did not show itself in the words of that column by Jeb Bush!
Instead, there is a spirit which if it is not contained, stopped, and shamed out of existence, may turn the Republic of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and their generations over to unscrupulous believers in another idea--one which controls and oppresses, rather than recognizes individual freedom.
All depends whether you have a weed up your ass about Sarah. Being a red blooded American male, Sarah's better than OK with me. By the way, llegitimi non carborundum.
Fake Latin gibberish or not, it is a well understood English expression since WW11.
Yes Siree! Have used it for years myself...bought the tee shirt for my eldest son.
According to wikipedia, that phrase originated in WWII.

Dog Latin has a long and distinguished history, dating back at least to the late 16th Century.
Man, what’s up your ass? Anyone who knows the phrase gets the joke behind it. She’s being supportive, and you give her this crap? You’re bitching like you didn’t know to semper ubi sub ubi in the prison shower.
World War ELEVEN? That’s a depressing thought.
I rest my case. But the 80s is the first I can recall hearing it.
Can’t imagine why “irish” got himself all wee-wee’d up about it, anyhow. Just doesn’t like Sarah, maybe.
