Shostakovich - Festive Overture
Trump is NOT making peace by being a bully. Also a significant point. This did not happen the way the warhawks would have wanted it, by stomping all over our enemies and beating them into submission.
“Trump did not take prisoners, loot, and pillage. What Trump did, what gives the world the best possible chance for a lasting peace, is that he stood up for the USA and at the same time showed the other side how they could prosper and thrive.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve noted Trump’s MO is to really schmooze and grease the skids of an opponent to soften them up, but Trump doesn’t do it in a disingenuous way.
An example of what I’m trying to say is that I worked with sheet metal superintendent who was a bully and know one else knew anything. That type. My pipefitter superintendent had it with this guy one day: “Steve, ya know it’s OK to let someone else be worth a $hit once in a while!!”
That statement, while rather crude and blunt, really stuck with me, and I have learned to appreciate its meaning over the years.
Our PDJT operates that way.

For all the RAT Romney's and phony diplomats like HRC and John Kerry, Trump is showing the true mark of a statesman. Measured responses to threats.
Speak softly but carry a big stick.
Back in 2017, I wrote a little vanity about his foreign policy and he's met every measure of my optimism. Trump the Diplomat: Art of the Global Deal
For everyone’s benefit: There’s a building in Panmunjom on the border at the DMZ. Inside the one room building is a long conference table. One side of the table is in North Korea. The other side is in South Korea. For President Trump to cross over into North Korea simply means walking to the other side of the conference table.
Does anyone else wonder if the skirmish with the press secretary was done on purpose?
I’ve got 12 gallons of water stored in the basement, but hubby installed a hand pump on our well that he got from Lehman’s catalog many years ago (they have mainly non-electric items). They have a large store in Ohio and are a great place to visit.
Thanks for posting that. Your superintendent was insightful.
Thanks Cats!

How do you know you are no longer a Democrat?
By Anna L. Stark
FTA:
You believe and respect the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The founding documents of the United States still matter and must not be set aside.
You believe the right to free speech applies to everyone, regardless of political party affiliation.
...
You believe in the Second Amendment and the right to own guns.
You believe that the United States is a sovereign nation with recognized borders; which must be respected, guarded, and protected.
You know there are only two biological sexes. Men pretending to be women and vice-versa is make-believe. There is no such thing as being born in the wrong body.
...
You are convinced that a group of like-minded conspirators; embedded at the FBI, CIA and DOJ attempted to circumvent the election of Donald Trump and are worthy of investigation and possible prosecution if it is determined crimes were committed.

Babble: The ‘Debates’ and the SCOTUS

FTA:
Life is too short to spend it on phony debates when you can see the highlights in videos and read the text of the remarks. The word peddlers are each picking their claims as to who won. The more critical observers suggest that I was right not to bother.
Apparently Julian Castro thought transwomen have a right to an abortion. (Perhaps after taxpayers pay for them to have a uterus transplant):
...
AP and others falsely claimed that the segregationists whom Biden earlier asserted hed crossed the aisle to work with had been Republicans and Friday corrected the record to show they were, in fact, Democrats. If the media were honest, theyd acknowledge that the Harris-Biden tussle merely highlighted what theyve kept hidden: The Democratic party was segregationist, not the party of Lincoln.
...
In the second case, Justice John Roberts joined with the four liberal judges on the court, respecting whether the president could reinstate a citizenship question in the upcoming census. Frankly, his act looks to me like nothing other than a poke in Trumps eye, for it defies rational analysis.
Historic. Im so glad Im up for this. Big things are coming on this front.

Me too. I hope you are right.

I think it was. I think her departure has been planned ever since she stopped doing press conferences. They were just waiting for something, a milestone, and then announced her departure to distract the media.

I wish the Administration would state that the Supreme Court has affirmed that the Administration has the constitutional right to add the question but quibbles over the rationale. The Supreme Court has no power to affirm or disallow policy, only constitutionality, therefore the question is added.

We are briefed at Oullet Post Office and are talking to North Korea. Oulet Post Office is named after the sacrifice spirit of Joseph Oullet, a Korean war veteran, and is the first frontier that is only 25 meters from the Military Demarcation Line.
Did you watch the vid? He crossed the line between the buildings and walked about 20 yards into NK. Past the buildings.
