Victory is such a glorious word. Anybody who has ever felt victorious knows exactly what I mean. Those of us who have been lucky enough to grasp it also know that it does not last. It arrives, fills the soul with a warm sensation of contentment and gratitude, and vanishes almost as quickly as it appeared. Once the effervescence of victory blows away, those who felt its touch speak of it with reverence. The word is pronounced more slowly and with more care as the passage of time pushes it deeper into our memories.
I hope President Trump is re-elected in the next couple weeks and that those reading now will feel what I describe above. Some might say, “It’s just politics,” or “It doesn’t really matter,” or “We never win.” But it isn’t just politics, it matters a great deal, and winning is only a small component of the 2024 election. You can walk into a casino, pull the lever on a slot machine, and become a big winner. But you will not feel victorious.
Why is that? Because victory is about so much more than winning. Victory is success in a struggle against overwhelming odds. It is the completion of a challenge with almost unbearable difficulties.

I am getting ready to do early voting this morning. I hope everyone will get in to vote in this election.
If Trump wins, and with the cheating which we all know will come, comes- we will have to really try to enjoy the next 4 years. Democrats won’t roll over and die during that time, they won’t surrender, accept and go away, in fact they’ll be even crazier and the media will crank everything up to 11. But we have to make a conscious effort to enjoy the Trump presidency if it comes because that’s going to be it. It’s all downhill Somalia after that. It’s everyday Mogadishu after that.
Hoping and praying?
Doesn’t sound very energizing to get out the vote, just take another hit on the Hopium pipe, eh
The old Progressive media is losing influence. The media is the left's most effective weapon.
As that power fades, we can restore a Constitutional Republic, and become a more effective superpower.
What’s going on in Texas? Ted Cruz is behind
And Israel and Netanyahu and I are on track for a historic Victory over the evil of islam.
