What a ride the past two years have been! We worry about the violence and pure idiocy exhibited by many of the left. We pray for the safety of the Trump and Pence family, all Inauguration Participants and all citizens who will be attending the DC and other satellite events around the country
Good morning lysie, FWI and F-d.
We are the early birds.
There isn’t a worm in that omelet is there?
More from Kellyanne’s long interview on Cspan:
She talked with Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s top advisor for 8 years - who tole her advice - just have to steel yourself and not worry what people are saying about you when you are concentrating on serving the President and the people of this country.
She first met President Trump about 20 years ago. She grew up not far from Atlantic City - where he was a legend there for many years. People don’t remember but when Donald Trump (and others) revitalized Atlantic City, they brought many jobs to that area. In fact her mother worked in a non-Trump casino for 21 years - that’s how she supported her family. So she knew about him for a long time.
She met him some time in the late 90’s. But she got to know him better when she sat on a condo board for the Trump World Tower - about 10 or 11 years ago - she got to know him better.
She showed up at a condo board meeting one night and in he walks and she thought, “He comes to the Condo board meetings?” (Shows he is going to be personally involved in any condo board of any project that bears his name...)
He knew her as someone who had been on TV talking about politics (she didn’t go into what her role had been at that time re: talking politics)....he knew she did polling and he was fascinated with the polls. She would come in to see him maybe 2 or 3 times a year and they would talk about politics and the polls.....and public policy.
He thought about running for President in 2012. She and her company did some polling for him in 2011. People urged him to run for Governor of NY in 2014.
She remembers attending a meeting in Trump Tower on January 9, 2014, an icy day - remembers it well - talked about running for Governor and knew he had thought about running for President earlier. Talked about the fact that every great movement requires a transformative individual to bring others along who maybe had lost faith in the movement or are just disenchanted members of said movement. ...she gave as an example Pope Francis....thought she said she does not always agree with him....he is a transformative figure.
She said the Republican Party/the conservative movement needed a transformative figure....to take us away from the dangerous veering towards elitism...where my party was going...where the donors had outsized authority, somebody who was a messenger with a message that people felt spoke to them that was resonant and relevant to them, the forgotten man, the forgotten woman.
Donald Trump has reformed the Republican party into one which values the worker and that’s liberating.
It is my view that he will be a transformative President. He will have a positive impact on millions of Americans almost immediately. This is a guy in a rush to do great things. Have seen what he will be like from what he has tone during the transition...and she has seen someone who is very steadfast, is very loyal, is very focused and engaged, very curious to learn more at every turn - and he’s a guy who is brilliant and knows a lot about many things already....and all that’s why he won’t lose his way.
You go back to what are his motivators for running for President. They are not the usual motivators for many people in politics such as power, prestige, money, status, and access. His family had all of that. He has sacrificed a great deal of all of that to run and serve as President. What inspired him and motivates him from the beginning will serve him very well as he takes on a roll to be steadfast and loyal and to perform at the high octane level as he has promised.

Thank you for posting Kellyanne’s interview.
Looking forward to next post.
It seems that the #NeverTrump folks who signed those two letters against Trump being president are now whining that they have been “black listed.” Oh my, their phones are not ringing, they can’t get a job in the Trump administration.
This is in the WP so take with a grain of salt:
Final post about Kellyanne’s interview on Cspan....sorry if this is too much type.
She was a blueberry packer.....put cellphone over the pint boxes....she was the fastest they had every seen. Learned early on (age of 12) - learned early on the value of working well and fast....learned about teamwork, performance, delivery, reliability, consistency, on that blueberry farm worked there from 12 to 19 in the summers and learned about the value of the dollar, the value of a day’s wages for a hard day’s work....being speedy but also producing quality....and being entrepreneural....farm was a family business.
Great memory - still keeps in touch - she was a grand marshall of the Christmas parade in her hometown. Blueberry capital of the world. were 10 protestors who got a lot of ink. People are Godfearing very loving population...much of this she learned on that blueberry farm.
Talked about she is a recovering lawyer....12 step program...husband is a practicing lawyer....she’s always thought that one lawyer per household is a fine quota it’s plenty....but her law degree has benefitted her tremendously because it teaches you to think in a linear fashion, a, b, c, d, solution - She has found as a campaign manager and before as a business woman and she’s sure she will find this in the West Wing also, that there is plenty of room for passion but very little room for emotion. and if you can approach problems and opportunities passionately and not so emotionally - you do very well for yourself. People respect that and respond to that and it’s how great deals are made, how wonderful steadfast decisions are executed.
...
Donald Trump’s message to America - from the day he is inaugurated is that “I am the President of all Americans, and that I believe in each of you and even those who do not support me and those who refuse to accept me at this moment, I’ll be here to work for you. I hope you will give me a chance.” Kellyanne: I think he will appeal to our better angels, to our higher purpose, to what has bound us together for decades if not centuries still binds us all together as Americans.
This is a man who has been talking to some of us about past Presidents and their inaugural addresses... and he appreciates how the man matched the moment...but he also appreciates the brevity of the message- and there’s something to that .... there’s something to addressing the nation and not going on and on and on for a very long time, leaving it at that, having a shorter parade, a shorter celebration....
And it’s Kallyanne’s 50th birthday - so this is a Happy Birthday celebration for her.
end of “highlights”. Sorry but I don’t do highlights very well. Had to give the whole interview. It was very good and the most lengthy interview I have heard her give.
Thanks - glad you liked the interview.
I did too.
And thanks for that tidbit from the Washington Compost...isn’t it too bad that the never Trumpers are finding themselves outside looking in!

Sasha Obama has a girls’ weekend in Miami
http://pagesix.com/2017/01/16/sasha-obama-has-a-girls-weekend-in-miami/
Sasha Obama didn’t quite manage to stay unnoticed during a girls’ weekend in Miami.
She relaxed on the beach with friends but was surrounded by Secret Service agents, who stood out in the sand as they wore heavy black suits and stern expressions.
The 15-year-old, who missed her father’s farewell address due to a school exam, was in Florida over the weekend with a group of friends, including Joe Biden’s granddaughter Maisy.
On Saturday night, they danced and dined in a private room at STK South Beach.
Morning Freedom’sWorthIt, many, many thanks for posting this very informative bio. Her philosophy on life is what got her where she is at today. Trump thinks extremely highly of her.
Best line I read, “recovering lawyer.”
Morning all....
It’s getting closer! Next week should be a very exciting news week - and the left will be melting so long they’re going to turn into nasty, bitter left-wing reduction sauce.
Morning Lysie, now you’re talkin! Love those mushrooms in my omelette!

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 17m17 minutes ago
The same people who did the phony election polls, and were so wrong, are now doing approval rating polls. They are rigged just like before.
Good morning Judy.
Hope you are healing and feeling better with each day.
Now we can only hope and pray that the crazy disruptors are stopped from doing their evil.
Having O’Keefe come out with the video and bringing into the light their vile plans, even tho they said it was just a joke, exposed them and they will think twice about pulling something, hopefully.
