The thing to remember about the battle of Midway is that it bears all hallmarks of a miracle of God. We were so badly outnumbered. Much of our equipment was so inferior. Many of our flyers so inexperienced. The enemy was so confident of victory. Still, in a period of less than 5 minutes three Japanese carriers were destroyed and after much sacrifice the battle was won.

This wasn't the first or last time that, facing long odds and desperate circumstances Americans won. From the evacuation of Brooklyn Heights in 1776 to the A Sau Valley, America has benefited from a number of improbable victories that are difficult to explain in a purely tactical way.

On November 8 2016 they told us there was no "path to victory" for Donald Trump. The democrats were united against him as never before. The bureaucracy, the people who make the government work, were united against him. Academia and the intelligentsia were united against him. The popular culture was united against him. Much of the power structure of the Republican Party was united against him. Don't even bother to vote they told us.

Still, we won and all those who disparaged him, and us, are left to fabricate lies and make excuses.

There was one group in the county who supported him though. 87% of Conservative Christians voted for Trump. Just sayin'.
