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. 
Our ancestors built something great. We need to build on that heritage. At the moment, things look bleak.
I posted about the Gold Star Dad being arrested in post 1615, if you care to see it.
That monster beat Laken Riley so bad, he disfigured her skull!
From the New York Post:
Cinema trivia
I love the old classics- Ghost and Mr Muir, citizen Kane, Casablanca, gone w wind, etc
Also like many (20 years less )contemporary ie Once upon a Time in HollyWood, Midnight in Paris, Sully, Unstoppable, Bourne, Mission Impossible etc
Additionally the movies in between - with many of my favorites
I always knew if I had a long life and could no longer engage in my real passions outdoors , I’d hopefully Always have movies and reading
That time has arrived
So here’s a little aside trivia to relax that blood pressure surge caused by the left …actually Two
THE PASSION OF CHRIST:
“Mel Gibson reportedly warned Jim that the character would be very difficult and that to accept, he could be marginalized in Hollywood. Caviezel asked for a day to think about it and his response was: “I think we have to do it, even if it’s hard.” And one more thing, my initials are J. C. and I’m 33 years old. “I hadn’t realized it until now.”
Mel responded with a candid, “You’re scaring me.”
During the set, Jim Caviezel (playing Jesus) lost 45 pounds, was struck by lightning, accidentally whipped twice, leaving a 14-inch scar, dislocated his shoulder and suffered pneumonia and hypothermia from hanging almost naked on a cross for several hours out.
His body was so stressed and exhausted from playing the role that he had to undergo 2 open heart surgeries after the production. The crucifixion scene alone took 5 weeks out of the 2 months of filming.
“I don’t want people to see me. I just want them to see Jesus. Through that conversions will happen.” Almost like an advertisement, many strange things happened, Pedro Sarubbi who played Barrabas, when playing that part felt that it wasn’t Caviezel who looked at him but Jesus Christ himself. “His eyes had no hatred or resentment towards me, only mercy and love.”
Luca Lionello the artist who played Judas was a declared atheist before filming began. He eventually converted, confessed and baptized his children. One of the tech chiefs who was Muslim also converted to Christianity.
Some producers claimed to have seen some people dressed in white giving advice, who at the end of the recordings did not reappear.
The Passion of the Christ is the highest-grossing U.S. film of all time, with $370.8 million! Worldwide it raised $ 611 million. More importantly, it reached many souls from all over the world. Mel Gibson paid $30 million out of his own pocket for the production because no studio would take care of the project.
Jim Caviezel proudly proclaims his faith in Christ in the midst of Hollywood ungodliness. People like him who will step forward to do what may not sound “fun,” but which conveys God’s Word and the story of His salvation to mankind.”
Very interesting trivia
And
What unknown actors/actresses got their big break when another actor/actress turned down a role?
When Ridley Scott was casting Thelma and Louise, the role of sexy hitchhiker J.D., who seduces Geena Davis’s Thelma, initially went to William Baldwin (Alec’s younger brother, for anyone unfamiliar).
However, Baldwin dropped out for unknown reasons before filming even began. Singer John Mellencamp was approached about playing the role of J.D., but declined because, he said, he didn’t want to take his shirt off onscreen.
The role of J.D. would ultimately be played by an unknown, 26-year-old Brad Pitt age 26, and it would prove to be his breakthrough role.

Yes I’ve read everyone’s posts - including yours but Thank you for post!!
Thank you for that amazing post, especially the part about PASSION OF THE CHRIST. I’d heard some but not all of those things. The Lord truly had a great influence in that masterpiece of a film.
It’s hard to fathom that Depth of evil. We see it all to ofrn
Anyone remember Hal Lindsey’s book Satan is ALive and Well on Planet Earth?

It is a powerful sobering movie. Very difficult to watch. Very difficult to stop crying. Every Christian should see it. It will be forever forged into your soul
The Ruskies back in the day had a secret recipe for premature mummification of their leadership; our pharma-driven experts prefer to mummify not the body but the personality with a cocktail of adderal, clonazepam, and prednisone — the latter responsible for the ‘roid rage on view whenever “Joe Biden” is hauled out of his catacomb for public performances.
The Kid from Scranton’s most memorably mendacious line got front-loaded, so as not to be lost on the watching millions already nauseated by “JB’s” pre-speech triumphal journey from the entrance down the aisle through the mob of his elected admirers clamoring for selfies:
“Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault here at home as they are today,”
True dat. The part he left out was that said assault emanates entirely from the very government he pretends to head. It’s reported (in The Epoch Times today) that since the start of this year the FBI has rounded up 93 new suspects in the event of 1-6-21 touted as “the insurrection” — most of the years-old charges related to trespassing, disorderly conduct, and parading, conduct now regarded as nation-threatening. He also left out the prodigious three-year-long campaign of his inter-agency flunkies to abolish the First Amendment by capturing all the transmitters of free speech. And never mind the regime’s banana republic style lawfare op to jail “JB’s” chief political opponent on spurious charges before the November election — rank, in-your-face election interference. the president squawked.

BREAKING: Per sources, there are “multiple fatalities” after a federalized National Guard helicopter w/ 3 National Guard soldiers working under federal Title 10 orders and a Border Patrol agent on board crashed in the RGV in La Grulla, TX this afternoon.
They were not working under the state of TX/Operation Lone Star. This was federal.
I’ve reached out to CBP for comment. Developing situation and more as I get it.
BREAKING: Per Border Patrol source, cartel members were watching the helicopter on their drone when it crashed, then they zoomed into the crash site and laughed about it. Posted on cartel social media. The La Grulla area sees frequent cartel activity via drug & human smuggling.
okay one more? Then sleep 😴

“As an E.R. nurse, I have seen the cover up. Where do you think
kids go when they have a vaccine reaction? They go to the E.R. They
come to me. I cannot even begin to guess how many times over the years
I have seen vaccine reactions come through my E.R. Without any
exaggeration, it has to be counted in hundreds. Sometimes it seemed
like it was one or two cases in a single shift, every shift, for weeks. Then I would get a lull, and I wouldn’t catch one for a week or two, then I’d catch another case per night for a couple weeks. This was common.
Once, I was training a nursing student, about to graduate, on their E.R. experience rotation in nursing school. This student and I floated up to triage to cover the triage nurse for a break. I was quizzing them on what to ask and look for as a triage nurse on
pediatric kids that came through. I made a point about asking about
immunizations right out the gates.
The student was puzzled, and asked why, and I told the student because we see vaccine reactions every day and its their job to catch it, alert the doctor and the parents, and report it to VAERS. Some higher power apparently smiled on my attempt to open the eyes of another nurse I guess, because not even ten minutes later, a woman brought her child up to the counter. Sudden onset super high fever and lethargy. I asked if the child was up to date on vaccination. The
mother replied he had them just a few hours ago.
I glanced at the student, who looked shocked and looked back at me in disbelief. I nodded, told them to remember this, and then took the mom and her child to finish the triage in back. When I was done I came back and sat down with the student, and asked what he learned that night so
far. The first response: “What I was told about vaccines wasn’t true”.
I couldn’t have said it better. That student is going to go on to be
like me, advocating for his patients with his eyes wide open.
The cases almost always presented similarly, and often no one else connected it. The child comes in with either a fever approaching 105, or
seizures, or lethargy/can’t wake up, or sudden overwhelming sickness,
screaming that won’t stop, spasms, GI inclusion, etc. And one of the
first questions I would ask as triage nurse, are they current on
their vaccinations?
It’s a safe question that nobody sees coming, and nobody understands the true impact of. Parents (and co-workers) usually just think I’m trying to rule out the vaccine preventable diseases, when in fact, I am looking to see how recently they were vaccinated to determine if this is a vaccine reaction. Too often I heard a parent say something akin to “Yes they are current, the pediatrician caught up their vaccines this morning during their check up, and the pediatrician said they were in perfect health!” If I had a dollar for every time I’d heard that, I could fly to Europe for free.
But here’s the more disturbing part.
For all the cases I’ve seen, I have NEVER seen any medical provider report them to VAERS. I have filed VAERS reports. But I am the ONLY nurse I have EVER met that files VAERS reports. I also have NEVER met a doctor that filed a VAERS report.
Mind you, I have served in multiple hospitals across multiple
states, alongside probably well over a hundred doctors and probably
300-400+ nurses. I’ve worked in big hospitals (San Francisco Bay Area
Metro 40 bed ER, Las Vegas NV Metro 44 bed ER) and small hospitals
(Rural access 2 bed ER, remote community 4 bed ER) & everything in between. When I say NEVER, I mean NEVER.
I have even made a point of sitting in the most prominent spot at the nurses station filling out a VAERS report to make sure as many people saw me doing it as possible to generate the expected “what are you doing” responses to get that dialog going with people. And in every case, if a nurse approached me, their response was “I’ve never done that” or “i didn’t know we could do that” or, worse “What is VAERS?” which was actually the most common response.”

Thanks Rusty for the ping!
Just got home and catching up this eve!
My team and I are currently monitoring the tragic National Guard helicopter crash near Rio Grande City.
Heidi and I are fervently praying for the victims and their families.
The brave men and women of the National Guard and USBP risk their lives each and every day — we are a better state and nation thanks to their selfless service to Texas and America.

................
All the paperwork, computer one has to do for some piddly crap and none for this, how sad. So sad.
It is sad that so many military helicopters crash. I wonder why?
When I watch Penguinsix showing the take off and landings of Marine 1, I don’t think one of them has ever crashed.
Prayers for the families.
Jesse Watters: Biden just screamed for an hour to prove he’s still alive.

I heard it was a drone sent by the drug cartels to fly
right into the helicopters blades.
I’ll see if I can find it again.
