Despite, and in spite of, the BigTech blackout... He's baaack!! And was on FIRE Sunday night in Dallas...
You won’t find it on any of the big tech companies’ platforms. They have already ghosted it.
That is how good President Trump’s speech was.
Like frogs boiling in water, America has been lulled into accepting incomprehensible gibberish from a doddering old coot shuffling behind a podium bearing the White House seal. The “new normal” is a fossilized old swamp gargoyle fumbling through notes to answer a simple question about Russia from a soda jerk in an ice cream parlor.
American leadership has been defanged and replaced by a set of loose dentures incapable of commanding a cone of soft-serve ice cream — a president whose Secret Service code name is “Silver Alert.”
But the Devil in Dallas is back! And in full form — reminding us all what a live wire in the White House was really like.
Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Mr. Trump was viciously funny, scathingly honest and electrically entertaining.
“Like socialist and communist movements throughout history, today’s leftists do not believe in freedom. They do not believe in democracy. They believe in Marxist morality — anything is justified as long as it hurts their political opponents and advances the radical agenda of their party.”
See: George Floyd, global warming, children killed in school shootings, flooded New York City subways, the Florida condo collapse and the China virus pandemic. There is literally no catastrophe known to man that Democrats in Washington will not exploit to increase their own political power.
He took on Mark 'Zuckerbucks' attack on free speech and the $400 million spent rigging the election for Biden, wrapping up with the latter FACT of which drives the Marxist media machine bonkers...
And as ever, Mr. Trump was the unrepentant bad boy of politics — ensuring all the socials would kick him and his speech off their dishonest platforms.
“We were doing so well until the rigged election came along,” he said.
“You say ‘election fraud’ and you get canceled,” he said. “Unfortunately, this was an election where the person that counts the vote was far more important than the candidate.”
Mr. Trump did not win any new friends in Washington with his Sunday night performance. But he sure made clear that he is back and ain’t backing down.
Whether this means a 2024 run or not is still anybody's guess; but rest assured, he's still in the game.
ADDENDUM: An equally GREAT speech at Charlie Kirk's Turning Point Action Rally in Phoenix following the Arizona audits and subsequent withholding of information out of Maricopa County... yeah, you better believe he addressed the 2020 CHEAT!!
"You know, if somebody robs Tiffany, a beautiful jeweler, 57th and 5th, good location, excellent location, and they steal the diamonds, and then they get caught, they have to turn the diamonds back. It's very simple. Amazing the way it works."
45th President of the United States Donald Trump addresses crime, crisis, and economic numbers over the course of the Biden administration's first six months, talks about his lawsuit against 'Big Tech,' sounds off on the irregularities and "cheating" seen during the 2020 Presidential Election, his effort to get endorsed 'America-First' candidates elected to The House and The Senate, and more...
O ETERNAL God, through whose mighty power our fathers won their liberties of old; Grant, we beseech thee, that we and all the people of this land may have grace to maintain these liberties in righteousness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ~ The Collect for Independence Day, 1928 BCP
...the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them... that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights... appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions... And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
No less than four mentions of God were made within our Founders' Declaration, framing the founding of this great nation, America (the Latinized feminine derivative of the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci's first name, meaning "work power; home leader"), as one delivered to an imperfect people, striving to work and lead towards the fulfillment of a home in the power of His perfect will that enabled its independence all along.
The year was 1776, but the goal of establishing a government by which the people largely govern themselves was centuries in the making. Liberty and self-rule are part of man’s DNA. We inherited it from our Father in Heaven. As John Locke taught us, it is our “natural” state. But it was America that made that common dream a practical reality. ...
In these times of social unrest and civil strife — when forces not of good intentions are trying convince the nation and world of false ideas about our founding — the best thing we can do is turn directly to the words themselves.
And these foundational words of wisdom from just a sampling of the minds who worked and lead towards America's independence display an indelible thankfulness for the One who made winning and maintaining their liberties possible, as we today should also reflect on towards a much needed and necessary rejuvenation...
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here." ~ American Patriot Patrick Henry
"I therefore beg leave to move that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessing on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning..." ~ Founding Father and American Inventor Ben Franklin
"I have carefully examined the evidences of the Christian religion, and if I was sitting as a juror upon its authenticity I would unhesitatingly give my verdict in its favor. I can prove its truth as clearly as any proposition ever submitted to the mind of man." ~ Founding Father Alexander Hamilton
"We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come." ~ American Patriot Samuel Adams, 1776 (at the signing of the Declaration of Independence)
"We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus!" ~ Founding Fathers John Adams and John Hancock (April 18, 1775)
"The laws of nature are the laws of God, whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth." ~ Father of the U.S. Bill of Rights, George Mason, 1776
"The Gospel of Jesus Christ prescribes the wisest rules for just conduct in every situation of life. Happy they who are enabled to obey them in all situations!...My only hope of salvation is in the infinite transcendent love of God manifested to the world by the death of His Son upon the Cross. Nothing but His blood will wash away my sins." ~ Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Rush
And though the message of Independence Day in our current times focuses on a worldly necessity for freedom to defeat totalitarianism, the Divine goal of that nonetheless shines through...
Our goal is to establish, to the best of our ability (which within its range is considerable) something that resembles the divine. As the deity is one, while creating and upholding a coherent universe of immense and unfolding complexity, so too we aspire meaningfully to integrate all the complexities of our individual lives within an all-encompassing unity.
That unity is not the merely intellectual unity of the Big Idea. As important as that is, we are aware within ourselves of ideas as being things we derive, however competently, from a fuller and larger reality.
The immense complexity of the universe miraculously resolves itself into coherent ideas. Our human advantage is tied up with what ideas enable us to do — not to be confined to an overwhelmed response to the immensity of the world that surrounds and includes us, but to be able to act in a focused and powerful way.
But not being angels, confined to the holy the way that animals are confined to natural grace by instinct, we find that we must constantly work on ourselves to govern ourselves — and thereby our country — well. Despite the overwhelming seductiveness of political power, we have as a country been generally aware that power that is not harnessed to beneficence is simply evil.
As simple as that is, the long and continuous tradition of law in the West has taught us how complex a process it is to keep political power righteous — or at least not abjectly evil. In the American/English law tradition, there is a continuous, deep engagement with the mighty problems of having freedom and having a government strong enough to protect it against those who care less about liberty.
God help us to graciously realign our political powers as a reunited people with the fragile liberties held so dear in the maintenance of righteousness, fleeing evil, seeking peace, and always remembering God at the center of our Independence.
"...this severe and forthright little Massachusetts lawyer spent the greater part of his life declaring, with perfect indifference to popularity, that freedom can be achieved and retained only by sober men who take humanity as it is, not as humanity should be. His learning and his courage made him great, and he became the founder of true conservatism in America." ~ Russell Kirk, The Conservative Mind
A great new PragerU video landed that I thought well worth sharing as we near Independence Day, focusing on the man many would come to consider America's first conservative...
“The man to whom the country is most indebted for the great measure of independence is Mr. John Adams.” That was from a delegate to the Continental Congress. But how much do you know about this influential thinker and second president of the United States? Brad Thompson, Professor of Political Science at Clemson University, tells Adams’ remarkable story.
More from Dennis and Brad...
And just a bookend on the sentiments of that opening Kirk quote:
"More than anyone else, [Adams] taught the value of good and practical laws, transcending the passions of the hour. And more than anyone else, he kept the American government one of laws, not of men."
We as an American society and D.C. as our Capitol hub certainly stand to remember a great deal of that these days.
