Could have been thirty minutes shorter, but overall not bad. Trump has mastered the Reagan pioneered use of guests at State of the Union speeches to make effective points. The Democrats did themselves no favors tonight by either being disruptive or sitting on their hands. Trump will be formidable on the stump this fall to rally the base for the midterms. He hasn’t lost a step as an orator, with a good use of humor and speaking directly to his audience beyond the chambers of Congress.
The usual Open Thread rules apply: be concise, be charitable and, above all, be amusing!
Thank you for the State of the Union speech.
in addition:
“In God We Trust” Our country’s motto is inscribed on every piece of currency.
I often wonder how the atheist, Madalyn Murry O’Hair used this currency “In God We Trust” to challenge the country to remove God from our public sector, schools, municipal grounds, public parks and most everywhere because she and her son, Michael were “offended” by our prayer for peace and good will.
The Supreme Court lost the chance to reinforce our First Amendment civil rights endowed by God: The Freedom of Religion which is a man’s prerogative in responding to God’s gift of Faith; an exercise of conscience, (See Thomas Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Conn. Baptist Church) of free will, of freedom if you will.
Bishop Fulton Sheen said: “The rights the state gives, the state can take away.”
Now, the state gives sovereign personhood at birth to whomever it chooses and takes supreme authority over the rights of man.
As far as I am concerned, Democrats are as evil now as they were in 1860 when they supported slavery. God bless President Trump, and may He deliver us from these godless diabolical socialists.
“As far as I am concerned, Democrats are as evil now as they were in 1860 when they supported slavery.“
Worse(?) They’re still racist (“persons of color don’t have IDs”), project their sin onto others, have a fetish for murdering children in the womb and mutilating child sexual organs after birth.
David WS, I stand – er, sit – corrected. Democrats are worse today than in 1860, for back then they did not murder pre-born babies in the womb, nor did they sanctify sodomy as marriage, nor did they sexually mutilate children in the name of transgenderism. Their sin back then was shackling black people to the plantation and their sin today (besides what was just listed) includes shackling black people to the teat of the public treasury and excusing black hoodlum gangsters who rape, murder, pillage, and destroy (remember Iryna Zarutska). Latino drug lords and militant Muslim terrorists (all of whom the godless Democrats excuse) are in the same mold.
BTW the President’s wife is an immigrant – a LEGAL immigrant. So is my wife. So all you Democrats out there accusing us of the sin of racism that you daily commit, you shut your accursed mouths and go crawl back into the pit of vipers from which you came. You are not worthy to live in this Republic.
Sorry Folks, but the perpetual outrage ill affects me. Representative Al Green once more demonstrated that he is the epitome of the mascot of the godless Democrat Party, having to be walked out of the State of the Union address yet again for disruptive behavior typical of an unruly teenager desperately in need of severe corporal punishment.
President Trump gave USA goalie Connor Hellebuyck the Presidential Medal of Freedom!
I hear the Prime Minister of Canada has offered him free MAID service! His house in Winnipeg will be spotless! 😀
I am intrigued by Al Green’s sign that black people are not apes. Did he recently have this epiphany?
He was referring to a Lion King parody put up by one of Trump’s minions in which the Obamas were given ape bodies along with other politicians Democrat and Republicans who were depicted as animals. Green is living proof that the Neanderthal genetic strain is alive and well among some of us. (Actually I have a soft spot for Green. He plays the crazy uncle role to the hilt as many have done in politics over the ages.)
Trump has improved as an orator. I still don’t think he’s a very good orator. But he’s a great communicator.
Another reason I want the republicans to do well in the midterms is that it will show how insignificant the anti-Semite Groyper cult really is. Watching Nick Fuentes try and cope with that will be enetertaining.
Need to vent… (and be careful in future website typing).
Sometimes quickly typing in “American Catholic ” for this site, my computer takes me to “Americamagazine”..
It used to be I could stomach what’s there, no more. It’s now almost totally gross.
