AMERICAN SPIRIT/TRUMP/MAGA WORLD-Not Just Surviving but prevailing
UPDATE 9/11/25: The American Spirit has taken a major body blow with the murder of Charlie Kirk, hands-down the most effective voice of common sense, decency, healthy debate and noble patriotism reaching the younger generation, the Americans of the future. The reality is brutal: they hate us, they really hate us as evidenced by this homicidal horror and the routine contempt and/or full-blown ostracism coming from those Trump/MAGA haters in our social, professional and familial circles. We live in what Charlie himself termed “assassination culture.” Our political opponents would be only too happy to see us totally silent, if not dead.
What remains after a seismic event like this are the bedrock values shared by those who love and celebrate America and her founding principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our daring forefathers risked everything to provide this priceless legacy, it’s what started and has sustained this country for 250 years and what each individual one of us goes forth with today and each day, the ghouls, naysayers and evildoers be damned.
Prove me wrong. Free speech, civilized debate. Essential America.
The final, inspirational words at this sobering moment courtesy of another heroic American, himself destined to be the victim of an assassin’s bullet.
“It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863.
UPDATE 9/9/25: Trump’s campaign to Make America Great Again extends to restoring classic architectural beauty to our buildings. If only the same could be done for our popular music: Make Songs Singable Again!
Note these timeless, majestic skyscrapers are the enduring architectural expression of the same era that expressed itself musically in the songs of Gershwin, Kern, Berlin, Rodgers & Hart, Porter, Arlen, Mercer…
MEGA (Make Europe Great Again)
UPDATE 9/7/25: Let the British descent into Orwellian dystopia be a warning to America. Despite our founding safeguards of free speech and acknowledgment of rights being God-given, even the most fortunate humans have a way of throwing it all away as Europe at large appears to be doing. For Britain’s sake, let us hope this current suicidal spiral is the low point, the only way up being a Farage-led rebirth.

UPDATE 9/13/25: Somehow, we must break free of the current abuse of our legal system that criminalizes legitimate politics and the politicians elected to carry out their chosen policies.
(In search of) AN AMERICAN MARGARET THATCHER
UPDATE 9/12/25: Scrolling down this post going back years, it becomes clear that Charlie Kirk’s murder should be no surprise. We are simply suffering the latest logical outcome of moral confusion, rationalized evil and serial mendacity from a major political Party MANY of whose supporters, believing absurdities too numerous to list in one place, feel righteously entitled to commit (or encourage by proxy) atrocities.
A Broadway diva says the Christian Right is indistinguishable from the Taliban; one of the world’s most famous writers tweets out that Charlie Kirk “advocated stoning gays to death. Just sayin.’”; a Presidential candidate declares her MAGA opponent Hitler/Mussolini reincarnated to slaughter fresh new millions. Herewith just a few of those brainless celebs & pols, not to mention their millions of adult followers robotically nodding along in agreement, none of them even really knowing what a Fascist is or that they themselves boast one of the most blatant Fascists (in the true textbook sense) in the person of their Party’s most historic, revered elder.
Take note of a generation of idle, unformed young men from prosperous families (all those lost Tylers and Luigis), seeking meaning and a heroic destiny, egged on by their supposedly wise elders to be The One to save us all from Trump and his fellow “Fascists.” What could possibly go wrong?

UPDATE 9/9/25: The perils of AI are particularly obvious in a plugged-in/online world where a sharp break from authentic reality has become the norm. A rise in psychosis and suicide is the logical result.

JANUARY 6-Deep State Tyranny vs A Nation of a Trillion Sparks
PLANNED PARENTHOOD/SELLING ABORTED BABY BODY PARTS
CALIFORNICATION/DETROITING OF AMERICA
UPDATE 9/12/25: We’re told that Chicago (and lately Portland), foolishly refusing to welcome federal help cleaning up its disastrous crime problem, will remain awash in blood now that Memphis is receptive and tapped to be MAGA’s next stop making our cities safe again. Will stubbornly blind straight-ticket Dem voters from these ravaged urban war zones ever wise up?
What? Lock up criminals?
UPDATE 9/10/25: The wages of self-Californication: no-longer-lovely Santa Monica, historically the quaint seaside retreat for the Hollywood Elite and now a dying ghost town headed toward extinction. Could it be those unbeatable Leftist policies (draconian taxation, litigation bankruptcy, race-fueled rioting, runaway crime)…maybe? And (quel surprise!) the Dem POTUS frontrunner is the greasy, groomed overseer of fairy tale La-La Land!
Lest we forget: the most recent Dem choice for the White House was a giggling, gooey Golden State barnacle right off the leaky Left Coast’s mold-covered hull.
Pray the common sense that re-elected Trump remains intact, perhaps even doubling & tripling as his policies succeed. Any chance this might illuminate the undeniably hideous consequences of the Prog Way to a terminally un-awakened electorate out there?
UPDATE 9/8/25: Uncontrolled, unpunished crime is one aspect of the Californication of America that Trump was elected to reverse at its source across the land. In response to this general lawlessness allowed to fester, in particular, the wanton murder of a Ukrainian girl by a Black serial criminal in NC, Trump has the only sane approach: “We have to be able to handle that. If we don’t handle that, we don’t have a country.” Dogmatic Dems are free to continue taking sides against Trump’s war on crime that all rational Americans heartily endorse. The problem the entire Left side of the political spectrum has is that supporting Trump might mean voters flee the Dem plantation and vote…common sense. [Odd how comforting and precisely right & true those two words have become.]
UPDATE 9/12/25: What happened to this boy from a straight arrow, Mormon, reputedly Republican family, a decent father employed in law enforcement, the mother a seemingly nice Utah housewife? What happened is he went to college which, as things unfold, will almost certainly answer the why and how he did what he did. It’s now revealed that in those formative (radicalizing) years between high school graduation and the present (age 22), he roomed with a transgender activist. Thinking back to those callow years, all those making it safely into mature adulthood must honestly recall the possible perils and bad choices, what might have been.
CLASSLESS, GENDERLESS, RACELESS, FAITHLESS-Erasing all defining lines
UPDATE 9/7/25: Dear Donald: please think twice about those 600,000 ChiCom “students” being welcomed in to “study” on our college campuses.

ID/WOKE POLITICS, Obama’s Permanent Civil War of Transformation
UPDATE 9/12/25: Beginning under Obama, the permanent divisions of ID Politics gained real traction, turning MLK’s vision of a color-blind society into a nightmare of permanent civil war. WokeWorld’s (and Obama’s) legacy: everyone a victim, everyone an oppressor, everyone at everyone else’s throat, 24/7/365. The backlash emergence of Trump beginning a decade ago has posed a direct threat to this poisonous “transformation” that Obama promised, the reaction being the current plague of “assassination culture” directly targeting MAGA. No? In Charlie’s words: Prove Me Wrong.
I’M A VICTIM! YOU’RE A VICTIM! EVERYBODY’S A VICTIM!
IAVT-I’M A VICTIM TOO! (Successful Black division)
UPDATE 9/11/25: The longest-running and most disturbingly visible crime committed against Americans by the Dem Left is LBJ’s Great Society/permanent Welfare State decimation of the Black family and the callous, ongoing perpetuation of poverty, crime, dependency and hopelessness in every one of our major cities, ALL Dem-controlled.
BLACK LIVES MATTER…but only selectively to the race baiters.
BALTIMORE=FERGUSON=GEORGE FLOYD REDUX: The Next One
UPDATE 9/12/25: 24 years on after 9/11, we are fortunate to have a truly fearless leader at the helm. Still they hate him (and his supporters). For us Deplorables, it does the heart good to witness moments like this in a consummately American setting like Yankee Stadium.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION/ OPEN BORDERS-Creating a Permanent Democratic UniParty Majority
Let’s see what floats, what sticks.
UPDATE 9/9/25: “Innocents disappeared,” “Maryland dad,” “no due process,” one of the Big Lies routinely floated these days. Who better than Tom Homan as the no-BS, lived-in face of the war on illegal immigration?
AMERICAN JEWRY-Brightest & Dumbest People On Earth
JEXODUS-Sensible Jews leaving the Dem Party
THE LIBERAL MIND and THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF PROJECTION
UPDATE 9/13/25: Coming from a Dem Party that operates almost entirely on projecting its own hot hate onto any opposing opinion, the predictable croc tears and faux compassion emanating from that direction in these post-Charlie days ring resoundingly hollow. Serious self-examination and a good look in the mirror by those suffering TDS remain highly unlikely for the foreseeable future.
UPDATE 9/7/25: Tim Kaine, Hillary’s running mate/almost VPUSA, the Tampon Tim bullet we dodged in 2016, gives away the moral bankruptcy guiding his and his fellow Leftists’ worldview. Paraphrasing: “What’s all this Fascistic crap about God-given rights?” this empty vessel queries Marco Rubio. Behold the fundamental difference between decent Normies and their contemptuous detractors. The former answer to a Higher Authority, the latter only to personal whim and ambition.

UPDATE 9/9/25: Editorializing correctly (for a change) on the impending NY Mayoral election of Marxist darling Mamdani, even the Washington Post knows that socialism/progressivism not only “doesn’t work” but is, in fact, poison. Let’s just say ahead of time, “Hey, New Yorkers, toldya.”
