Amazing how the media, even now, continues to manipulate people’s minds. TANKS in the PARADE!!! OMG!!! Two lousy tanks parked near the podium to honor, equipment-wise, the army. Joey Behar probably didn’t notice because she was watching Rachel Madcow.

Even Drudge hasn’t changed his picture since the President’s speech. I expressed my displeasure.

“Only Democrat morons and Trump haters expected a partisan speech.”

Don’t forget the unfortunates taken in by the Q grifters. They thought JFK Jr. would walk out on stage and announce mass arrests with “Day of the Rope” at GITMO.

Poor folks.

Patriotism is controversial. It has been at least since Clinton won. The Left hates this country. Mostly, they hate its people, which is why they are intent on swapping them out.

If one side is patriotic and the other side is not patriotic, then is a patriotic speech a political speech because it favors one side?

That was the essence of the news reports prior to the event that I saw.

President Trump doesn’t use the word “I” very often.

His megalomaniacal predecessor couldn’t stop saying it.

I would say it was the best speech I’ve heard THIS president give. It was splendid. Couldn’t help but flip the channel from FOX to CNN when it was over to see how they were “taking it” and of course, they had to go off their script of “it will be nothing except more of himself” to “it was just a history lesson”, “have heard other presidents give better speeches”...blah blah...they really didn’t know what to say but they knew they had to cover up their insane comments from the past few days.

Someone needs to have the smiling jackal Chris whatever on tonight - he used to be on Schumer’s staff - is it Hahn? An attorney and he was nearly betting Tammy Bruce sitting in for Laura last night that the speech would be partisan and all about himself. She told him he was going to be pretty disappointed and she was right. I want to see someone serve him his crow!

The “progressives” will hate it. They dislike the American military and abhor patriotism.

I thought Abram tanks would be rolling down the road. All I saw was flyovers and Trump’s speech.
