Today's Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Well, the day of decision is here, the time to decide whether you are going to stick with President Donald Trump all the way. The fake news media and the Democrats, along with establishment Republican warmongers like John McCain, Jeff Flake and Bob Corker, are throwing everything they have at the President and his supporters, now going full ahead with the contention that supporting the man who was elected in 2016 is tantamount to treason.
The fuse that touched off the latest and most intense to date explosion of leftist, establishment, globalist heads in Washington was, of course, the Presidents press conference performance as his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin came to a close. Mr. Trumps sin, as I pointed out last night, was to publicly question the veracity of the allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections contained in indictments brought down by a proven liar and stonewaller, Rod Rosenstein, and a Special Counsels office filled with Clinton/Obama activist hacks. Those indictments were ostensibly based on information compiled by an FBI led by the likes of proven liars like Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok and James Comey.
Hard to imagine why anyone would question the work product of such a sterling cast of characters, right?
If the U.S. intelligence community wants to command the respect of the American people, then it might be a good idea for it to stop working against the interests and the will of the American people. It might be a good idea to stop sending clear, practiced, transparent liars like Rosenstein and Strzok up to represent it in open congressional hearings. It might be a good idea to start complying with information requests from congressional committees trying to perform the oversight responsibilities mandated to them in the Constitution. It might have been a good idea for Mr. Mueller to avoid filling his staff with partisan hacks.
In order to command respect, these myriad alphabet agencies should work on earning it. What a concept.
But the presser with Putin was just the conclusion of a week filled with events and presidential actions and statements that the leftist, globalist, DC establishment detests, actions that President Trump promised to take throughout the 2016 campaign that ended with his victory over the establishments preferred sock puppet, Hillary Clinton. Those actions included the President pointing out the reality, in clear and blunt terms, that NATO is a long-outdated and costly organization populated mainly by deadbeat European countries who refuse to fulfill their financial obligations.
Those actions included calling out Germany for agreeing to partner with Russia the ostensible threat against which NATO is supposedly there to defend on a multi-billion dollar natural gas pipeline project. Those actions included blunt and honest talk about the long abuse of unfair tariffs on U.S. goods by EU nations, and their desire to continue their practice.
Those actions included the President talking about U.S./Russia cooperation with our allies in Israel to ensure Iranian troops and militia in Syria are kept away from the Golan Heights. They also included Trumps ongoing commitment to bring our military personnel home from the Syrian hellhole once ISIS has been wiped off the face of the earth, another cooperative effort with Russia that is about 98% complete. And finally, they included conciliatory public statements towards Putin and Russia (we can be sure he was more forceful and pointed with Putin during their private meeting) in an effort to begin establishing an actual, productive working relationship with the worlds other major nuclear power.
Again, what a concept.
Throughout his 2016 campaign, Mr. Trump proved he was a disciple of the likes of George Washington and Dwight Eisenhower, warning against the needless perpetuation of our military ventures all over the world, many of whose roots go all the way back to World War II. I end up saying this so often in these Campaign Updates, but Ill say this again: None of the things President Trump said and did over this past week in Europe should have come as any surprise at all to anyone who actually has a desire to understand him. Which of course excludes all Democrats and fake news reporters and warmongering GOP senators.
This is Donald Trump keeping his campaign promises. He made them repeatedly and without nuance because hes pretty much incapable of nuance, after all and he fully intends to carry them out, just as he has gone about carrying out all of his other campaign promises.
To a large extent, it is Trumps hyper-focus on keeping the promises he made to the American people that makes him such a foreign, almost alien-seeming entity to the corrupt, globalist DC establishment and fake news media. They have all become so accustomed to having politicians who say all sorts of stuff to get elected, but then come to DC and just bend to the will of the embedded deep state that they just dont know how to react to anyone whose behavior doesnt conform to the DC Borgs hive mind.
Everything President Trump said and did over this past week were things he promised to do, repeatedly and clearly, throughout the 2016 campaign that got him elected. The corrupt, globalist DC establishment is incredibly upset that it cannot contain him, and is now refocusing its sights not only on the President, but on his supporters as well.
Supporting Donald Trump was never going to be an easy thing, because he was elected to clean out the greatest den of corruption and sleaze ever created by American society. He has made an amazing amount of progress in a very short period of time, but there is so much more that remains to be done. The more he pushes, the harder the deep state establishment and its media minions will fight back, so this is only going to become harder still.
If you abandon him now, they win. Its really that simple.
That is all.

Press on, Mr. President...more winning, please! Best. Election. Ever.
Anti’s wouldn’t be happy unless Trump pepper sprayed Putin in the face on stage.
I’m preparing for we “Deplorables” to ban together and do our “protesting”. The Deplorables did it at the ballot box and elected Trump, now it’s time to back him physically if need be. It’s getting closer every day and could wind up being a shooting war, God forbid.
HATE against anything GOOD is being seen In every level of government. It’s a battle between good and evil; the soul of AMERICAi
The federal gubmint was politicized by the F-ing magic negro,
I stand by The Donald as the federal gubmint as a whole is horse crap.
“If the U.S. intelligence community wants to command the respect of the American people, then it might be a good idea for it to”
1. Show us the evidence of Russia’s campaign-related spying.
2. Explain why they haven’t accused the Clinton gang of breaking laws.
Real nice commentary. Thanks for posting.
This “deplorable” loves the Trumpster.
And this deplorable knows far, far more than the jokesters out there who are so stupid they cannot even be politicians and are therefore journalists.
Nope, that knowledge didn’t come from “kollege”, but from common sense.
Go Trump, go.
Irritate more progressives each day.
You couldn't separate me from POTUS with dynamite at this point.
My greatest fear at this point is that something will happen to Trump.
Especially if there is .gov involvement.
That would indicate very clearly that it’s us against the fed, and we are up against the last wall. Decision time.
I don’t like Putin. Think he is a thug and that the Russian people are nuts supporting him.
But he is not my chief concern or entity I fear. Hillary is. Soros is. Flake is. McCain is. The Deep State is.
Right now Russia is a bare threat to the US and much less so that the intelligence agencies who are at this moment mid-coup against the POTUS.
That is why this is a do or die moment. What matters is who in the GOP stands with him. If they break, then I truly fear an attempt at impeachment.
