ALL ABOARD THE TRUMP FAMILY TRAIN, EST. 2017 BY DOLLYCALI!
Survived everything thrown at it over the years, just like President Trump....including trolls, moles and saboteurs.
Welcome to the TRUMP FAMILY TRAIN THREAD, where all things Trump are welcome!
Feel free to share news, your comments and opinions, memes, recipes, travel photos... the list is endless.
Posting on behalf of the TFT founder and thread mama, Dolly Cali.
lol, I’m with Judy on the cussing over here. Because that picture is too true, it infuriates me.
Excellent summary dolly. It’s a bit overwhelming when you put it all in one post, but everyone ought to take baby steps at least. I figure everything I am doing I can use later. Or today, I’m grinding some wheat so I can make some whole wheat bread tomorrow. You never know when some of your prepping is going to become an obsession!!
Excellent job spunky, I hope you don’t get banned over it.
“More than half of the Trump voters were classified as extremely excited to vote for their candidate..”
That’s probably a higher percentage than was in 2020. We’re going to have even more voter fraud to try to overcome so this is a good thing.

“I came here, where freedom is being defended, to serve it, and to live or die for it.” - Brigadier General Casimir Pulaski, “Father of the American Cavalry”
When I read today’s essay, I was moved by the extraordinary sacrifice of Polish war hero, Casimir Pulaski. A voluntary defender of freedom in our American Revolution, his life and death on American battlefields reminds us that some of our greatest patriots were allies from across the seas and beyond our borders.
___________________________________________________________
Casimir Pulaski is born
On this day in history, March 6, 1745, Casimir Pulaski is born, one of a handful of foreigners who played a key role in the American Revolution. Pulaski was born into an aristocratic Polish family and was part of the Polish army that resisted Prussian and Russian efforts to take over his country. Only in his twenties, Pulaski became an important cavalry expert and rose to be one of the highest ranked military leaders of the resistance, earning him a reputation of valor throughout Europe.
When Russia conquered Poland in the early 1770s, Pulaski was driven into exile. He participated for a time with raising resistance to the Russian war with the Ottoman Empire, but when the Turks were defeated, he returned to France. In France, Pulaski met Benjamin Franklin and the Marquis de Lafayette, who encouraged him to sail to America to join the American Revolution.
Pulaski left France in June, 1777, with a letter of recommendation from Franklin stating, “Count Pulaski of Poland, an officer famous throughout Europe for his bravery and conduct in defense of the liberties of his country against the three great invading powers of Russia, Austria and Prussia... may be highly useful to our service.”
Pulaski arrived at Marblehead on July 23, 1777, and met with George Washington near Philadelphia in August. Pulaski was not given a position immediately, but in September at the Battle of the Brandywine, he helped orchestrate the retreat of the Continental Army without disaster, some believe even saving Washington’s life. For this, Congress made him a brigadier general of the cavalry. He was only 34 years of age at the time.
The American cavalry was very small at this point and Pulaski began recruiting and training more soldiers with the best practices of European cavalry. Pulaski and his cavalry distinguished themselves at the Battle of Germantown and during the defense of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. For his efforts, Pulaski was nicknamed “The Father of the American Cavalry.”
Pulaski’s cavalry was sent south in early 1779 and participated in the defense of Charleston in May. Through the summer, they participated in numerous reconnaissance missions and skirmishes in South Carolina. In the fall, Pulaski’s cavalry was assigned to join the mission to retake Savannah, Georgia, which had been captured by the British the previous year.
The joint American-French attack on the city lasted for nearly a month. On October 9, during a major assault on the city, with Pulaski leading the American and French cavalry, Pulaski was severely wounded with grape shot from a cannon. He was removed from the battlefield and placed on board the Wasp, a privateer merchant vessel, on its way to Charleston. Pulaski would die from his wounds two days later.
The Siege of Savannah failed and the British would remain in the city until the end of the Revolution. Pulaski took his place, however, as one of a few foreigners who played an important leadership role in the American Revolution. He is considered a freedom fighting hero in both Poland and America, with numerous towns, counties, celebrations, ships and more named in his recognition.

BREAKING: Supreme Court to hear Trump’s presidential immunity claim April 25
Sorry! I might have gotten the wrong idea. I thought you were not interested in Atlas shrugged works of any kind, then you said you ordered it on Kindle. That made me chuckle.
You are cracking me up with those memes.

Nikki Haley has been one of the biggest disappointments in recent memory.
First, Nikki said she wouldn’t run for President against Donald Trump.
Now, Nikki is refusing to endorse President Trump.
What a fraud.
Now can I laugh? I don't care what you say, I am going to.
My eyes have actually improved a little since last visit. So that was good news for a change.
Lol good ones, CB. Love the falconry glove lol.
Excellent! Glad you got some good news about your eyes.
