The Cowards Sat in Silence: A Night of Honor and Shame
TwitterX ^ | 3/5/2025 | TwitterX User Mike Johnson

Posted on 03/05/2025 3:12:46 AM PST by Lazamataz

The night was electric, pulsing with the raw energy of a nation clawing its way back from the abyss. Donald Trump stood at the podium, a lion surveying his den, commanding the chamber with the weight of history pressing against his shoulders. The air was thick with expectation, with defiance, with the unshakable spirit of America refusing to be broken. And then, the moment came—the kind of moment that strips away the political filth and reveals the soul of a country.

A boy named DJ, clad in the crisp uniform of a police officer, stood proud and unwavering, though the cruel grip of fate had marked him for battle against something far more ruthless than any criminal—brain cancer. His father, a cop, watched with pride as his son, too young to understand the horrors of bureaucracy, stood before the most powerful men and women in the nation, believing in something greater than himself.

Trump, never one to miss the chance to honor the real beating heart of America, did what no other president in modern history would have dared. He made DJ an honorary Secret Service agent—not as a political stunt, not as a hollow gesture, but as a symbol of everything that still makes this country great. Here was a boy who, despite all odds, still dreamed of serving and protecting. A boy who saw the badge not as a mark of oppression, but of justice. A boy whose bravery outshone the cowards who sat in the shadows.

The chamber erupted. The walls of Congress shook with applause, the very rafters of democracy trembling under the force of true, unfiltered emotion. People stood, tears in their eyes, clapping until their hands stung. But not everyone.

No, across the aisle sat the Democrats, cold as corpses, eyes hollow, mouths twisted into grimaces of disdain. Not a single clap. Not a single nod of respect. Not an ounce of humanity. These are the same people who weep for criminals, who kneel for thugs, who scream about “justice” while letting chaos swallow the streets. But when a little boy with brain cancer stands before them, embodying everything they should pretend to care about—innocence, courage, sacrifice—they sit there like rotting statues, rigid in their hatred for everything that doesn’t fit their twisted ideology.

It was more than politics. It was a glimpse into the soul of the enemy. They couldn’t stand because standing would mean acknowledging something greater than themselves. It would mean admitting that Trump was right. That honor still means something. That America is still alive, still breathing, still roaring despite their every attempt to smother it beneath their boot.

That moment was bigger than all of them. Bigger than the swamp, bigger than the lies, bigger than the poison dripping from every Democrat's forked tongue. DJ stood there, stronger than the entire party combined, smiling as the President of the United States honored him. And they sat there, sneering, because they knew—deep in the blackened pits of their soulless chests—they would never know what it’s like to be that brave, that good, that true.

They will be remembered for that silence. The people saw. The people will never forget.

Maybe not the best speech, but the most effective in terms of what Trump wanted to accomplish.

A year from today I want to hear the best speech ever.

I hear a lot refer to it as the State of The Union, but it wasn’t.

Good conservatives are campaigning against fake ones who will have the support of the same tired Ps Of Ss like McConnell and Lindsey Graham.

I don't recall seeing either one there, or I blinked at the wrong moments.

I thought I saw Graham. He’s always looking to get on camera.

The Democrats not only showed nothing but distain for the country and those who elected Trump as POTUS, but also offered nothing as an alternative. It is obvious they want to continue the gender confusion that has 6ft hulking males with their genitalia on full display in women’s swimsuits unfairly competing against young women and girls. They seem to have no problem with billions of our tax dollars being used to fund transgender clinics in India or buy condoms for the Gazans. They apparently want to continue with open borders and allow 150 year olds to continue possibly getting Social Security checks. These ideas were clearly rejected by the voters last November. So what do Democrats have to offer other than silly slogans and idiotic messages on little signs?

These chodeknockers have no idea how much damage they did to the DemoKKKrat Party and to their hopes of getting the House in 2026.

BRAVO!!!!!!!

2026 is not that far off. Lots of good R campaign ads in the address by the POTUS.

I hope Trump can keep up the winning—bring down the prices and block the left wing Judges set to block all things Trump! If he can keep up the MAGA agenda (and if the Democrats keep stumbling as they did in the speech) there is a chance that the age old pattern of Democrat victory in the midterms will be broken. I pray for that. If Dems get the house in 2027 it will be ugly.

Excellent choice of word!

Scurried would have indicated a perhaps four-legged animal, not a mental image of insects.
