Earlier this week we learned that the planned 50th anniversary revival of Woodstock had its investor funding withdrawn. There were concerns that the celebration simply would not be able to meet the high bar set back in 1969 by arguably the greatest music event of all time. Sometimes something is just so special it cannot be replicated.
I have some appreciation for that after this past Saturday, when I had the opportunity to attend a rally held by President Trump in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The difference between our Rockstar President and Woodstock planners is that what they couldn’t pull off with 50 years notice, he pulls off routinely each time he hosts an event.
Despite the opportunity I have had to work closely with this administration on a variety of policy issues, one thing I had yet to do since the president took office was attend one of his rallies. In fact, the last one I did attend was the night before the 2016 election when he addressed an enthusiastic crowd in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Prior to the event starting, I’ll admit to just enjoying the people and the atmosphere. The crowd had been lined up for hours – days even. One gentleman told me he had been there for five days just to make sure he would get a great spot. When they opened the doors and the people started pouring in, I thought this must be what it’s like at a Rolling Stones concert. Maybe I need to get to one of those, too?
My giddiness soon faded and was replaced by serious and inspiring observations that, to me, were so profound I wanted to share them with you.
The first thing I noticed was the combination of excitement and focus simultaneously present in the eyes....

Sproul Plaza, University of California. Do it there and I’ll believe it.
I too only know one person who admits being a Rat. He is also the biggest a-hole l know.
Charlie...you are a great guy, Trump supporter and leader of common, patriotic, loyal USA folks across the board. You have now personally witnessed the the Trump Miracle...The Trump Political Rally. A major one is coming up next Wednesday evening in Panama City Beach, Florida on May 8, 2019. Info at www.donaldjtrump.com (2 free tickets).
Yes...there will be an easy 10,000 or more folks attending, but we can do better, because the Fair/Entertainment area is over 70 acres and, with that better space, we can aid the political destruction of the entire politically dying & failed, useless, worn out, boring Democrat Party...”overnight”!!!
Charlie...we need to drum up about 100,000 folks to attend the Trump Rally next week in Florida. We need your help and the help of your allies to get this job accomplished. Panama City is surrounded by Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina & Louisiana. These five states have about 35-40,000,000 folks in them. Please help us get out the word..starting this weekend. do it. We know you get the drift of our goal!!!
Logical conclusion: If the promoter wants a huge turnout for his Woodstock thingee, just have Donald Trump there for his rally. Problem solved.
I worked with about 40 dems in an office in Manhattan. Only conservative in the room and boy did we argue.
We still went out together sometimes on weekends (a hot babe is a hot babe and I was only 30 still and single) and they were fun out.
At times, in dark corners of the office, some would whisper to me how they secretly agreed with some things I said :)
When I got my head injury, they were beyond generous.
If politics was set aside, they were pretty good folks.
But I still abhorred their beliefs and I believe that even only 20 years ago, a dem was not what a dem is today.
I think the vast majority of those people I know would think this transgender insanity is disgusting.
They would still be pro death but be aghast that it could take place after 5 or more months of pregnancy.
The Jewish guys would not be able to stomach the party as they were very pro Israel.
They were drastic then IMHO, but even THEY wouldn’t recognize the party today.
And many would loath Omar and AOC.
Good God, what will another 20 years bring?
Thanks for the info. I’m in Mobile but won’t be able to make it over there. Have fun.
Democrats are becoming more and more Anti-American.
WTF . . . How many people died and were raped during that sick weekend?
Well, shoot. I read the headline using ‘rallies’ as a verb, not a noun. Big disappointment.
Boy I NEVER say this because it’s just not me, but much worse, they are becoming more and more anti God.
Their debauchery seems to know no end anymore.
We shall see what the future brings.
Still plenty of good people in the country.
it may not rival it- but it can come pretty close- there were efforts by musicians to provide benefit concerts that were pretty huge- and had tons of good music like the Farm Aid concert- and other benefit concerts for famine relief etc- - Who says this woodstock revival has to match the greatness of the original?
The Blue Pill is not specifically too good...
Did those dirty hippies at Woodstock ever take the advice Sha Na Na gave them and Get A Job?
We'll be there. Driving 6 hrs. to get there!
Bump
“Their debauchery seems to know no end anymore.”
Romans 1:24-32 is as true now as it was 2000 years ago.
24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
