AMERICAN SPIRIT-Not just surviving but prevailing!
UPDATE 2/8/25: Some of us are old enough to recall the inauguration of the Kennedy Center in tribute to JFK & Jackie’s prominent celebration of the most talented figures of their times.
Honoring a roomful of Nobel Prize winners in 1962, this photo reflects the cultural priorities of a more civilized America: “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.” JFK, 4/29/62
Then nearly two decades later came the Kennedy Center Honors, initially a thrilling event honoring the best of the best in the performing arts, our American version of a knighthood. Note the first honorees in 1978 below. For those of us fully aware of who these people are and what they achieved, the head whirls, the heart leaps and, admittedly, tears of gratitude, admiration and nostalgia flow.
From left to right: Richard Rodgers, Fred Astaire, Marian Anderson, George Balanchine, Arthur Rubinstein.
Things have clearly devolved when this same American institution is pushing transgenderism and drag shows for kids as mainstream culture. This and other signs of our culture’s discouraging decline are everywhere. Note the most nominated motion picture for this year’s Oscars.
In response, Trump’s declaration below is one more key aspect of Making America Great Again. This mission must include our arts, drawing a clear line between what is healthy, aesthetic expression and what is undeniably hateful, soul-rotting garbage, politicized poison designed to degrade life and destroy Western Civ from within. Any society serious about surviving must acknowledge the difference between what is appropriate in public and what belongs in private. Those usual suspects making panicked accusations of totalitarian censorship seem to forget that the vast, free internet provides nearly anything they might want for themselves or their unfortunate children, however debased, BUT in their own space and time.
For all who value freedom and healthy life, Trump’s pointed gesture honoring real talent and meritorious artistic expression is cause for celebration. MAA(American Arts)GA!! Kudos to “amazing” Chairman Donald!
This wonderful mission, restoring artistic greatness to America, runs parallel to the establishment of a new National Park of American Heroes. May we suggest that, among the first occupants of this park, belongs Donald Trump himself.
UPDATE 2/1/25: Lo and behold in a day, both Canada and Mexico have suddenly taken the first real steps within memory to secure their borders from their side. IN A DAY. And just as suddenly and surely by coincidence, tariffs newly imposed on both our neighbors have been paused for a month.
It must be a Trump failure if we are to believe the online hysterics: See! See! Major U-turn! Orange Man forced to make concessions! He’s all bluster and floundering aimlessly around driving up the cost of beer and avocados…
Sorry, Wokies. You’re the ones on the wrong side of history.
Aren’t you sorry now you didn’t vote for Kamala?! OMG!!! No Corona! Out of guacamole for the Super Bowl party!!
…and then again, you don’t suppose Donald simply did a deal, do you? Like maybe: “Hey, Sheinbaum & Trudeau-do your bit to stop the flow of illegals and drugs into our territory or you get nailed with 25% on the barrelhead.” Such a shock coming from the guy who wrote “The Art Of The Deal.”

UPDATE 2/4/25: There they are again: those two words, COMMON SENSE. Very uncomfortable to contemplate what we NORMIES have had to tolerate for these past few years. This mass abandonment of rationality is a cancer prefacing social dissolution. Those participating willingly in this celebration of suicidal nonsense are unlikely to recant or admit their errors, too ashamed or out of it to admit to being fools.

UPDATE 2/6/25: For those with an eye to the future, our entire educational system must be rid of the radical, DEI malignancy now spread throughout our entire educational system. The goal of Trump’s Executive Order Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling is to re-instill patriotism and appreciation for the blessings of American citizenship for which countless millions continue to sacrifice life, limb and fortune to enjoy.
CLASSLESS, GENDERLESS, RACELESS, FAITHLESS-Erasing all defining lines
UPDATE 2/5/25: Normies everywhere cheer joyfully at Trump’s Executive Order, boldly redrawing the lines erased by the intrusion of transsexuals (with their ruinous Leftist ideology) invading women’s sports and spaces. Radical feminists, enemies of all true femininity, can now be viewed at a great distance, writhing and screaming in despairing, enraged irrelevance. Like so much that currently demands undoing, who’d have dreamed such an edict would ever be necessary? But this isn’t the Dem Party of our parents and grandparents.
Truly, a thing of beauty, a man standing up for girls and women, a hero.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION/ OPEN BORDERS-Creating a Permanent Democratic UniParty Majority
UPDATE 2/3/25: Which is it? Is NJ Gov. Phil Murphy more stupid than arrogant or vice versa? Watch him go on camera bragging that he and his equally virtue-signaling wife are proud to be harboring an illegal in their garage apartment and daring Tom Homan to do anything about it. This is the Covid creep who ruined countless businesses and tyrannically confined his Garden State constituency to their homes while dining out in a restaurant maskless with his family. Purplish New Jersey needs to go full red if there is an ounce of sense there.
UPDATE 2/4/25: Once again, Israel and worldwide Jewry have a friend in America, “the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House.” [And did I not hear Bibi invoke those magical words COMMON SENSE again at 13:11?]

UPDATE 2/7/25: The great scam making USAID (US Agency of International Development) a household name is the first of many death blows about to be dealt the obscenely bloated Deep State Big Gov monster and its parasitical cronies around the world feeding off it. The news of $8 million dollars in USAID-funded “subscriptions” to Trump-hating news outlet Politico has been countered with fake news denial (not 8 million, only 44k! Then corrected: Ok, it’s $8 million over 8 years, not one year!!) spin and the heartrending wringing of hands by Politico itself at the loss of what they claim is a generous (fer sure!) humanitarian government agency bankrolling “good works” around the globe. It will be telling what panicked, wet creatures continue to emerge from under their rocks to unwittingly out themselves as covert USAID beneficiaries.
Sorry. Denials denied; it’s a boondoggle and a scandal. Full speed ahead, DOGE!

UPDATE 2/3/25: The Dem Party conclave electing its new leadership is not a SNL skit but insane reality beyond parody. a clear indication that the suicidal Woke and Prog virus comprise a fanatical religious faith impossible to give up. But great fun to observe from afar.
Beyond parody. Reality specifies that there are only two sexes, but the message hasn’t gotten through to the DNC. Signed, Schmegeg. He/Him/His.
