"If men of wisdom and knowledge, of moderation and temperance, of patience, fortitude and perseverance, of sobriety and true republican simplicity of manners, of zeal for the honour of the Supreme Being and the welfare of the commonwealth; if men possessed of these other excellent qualities are chosen to fill the seats of government, we may expect that our affairs will rest on a solid and permanent foundation." —Samuel Adams (1722–1803) Father of the American Revolution, Patriot and Statesman
Election Day
Election Day
How many of you stayed up all night to watch the final electoral votes come in with Pennsylvania giving Donald J. Trump the victory? The entire day, I never turned on the TV, never tuned into Fox News, because I didn’t want to listen to the pundits with their idiocy about this race. The talking heads make me want to kick the television.
Praying throughout the day was what I was led to do. Even listening to Rush Limbaugh was off the agenda. Silence was truly golden. Many of us just rested in the Lord knowing all was in His Hands.
My husband and I watched a movie, and then he retired for the night. At 10:30 EST, I found an electoral map on the web and watched it for the rest of the night. Wow, what a race, a real nail biter, which it wouldn’t have been without vote fraud, and if our media actually did their jobs.
Trump was at 254 and needed only 16 more electoral votes. Pennsylvania would give him 20, and Michigan would give him 16, but if Hillary took those states, then he needed Arizona with 11, Vermont with 4, and Alaska with 3, to win. The media dragged it out and wouldn’t give Pennsylvania to Trump until very early in the morning. (Surely they made more money that way). Finally, Pennsylvania was called for Trump and he was the winner. Arizona, Alaska, Michigan and Pennsylvania went to Trump, but Vermont went to Hillary.
Paul Walter, CEO of NewsWithViews, and another friend both called me when Trump was announced as the winner. Like so many others, we were absolutely joyous and overwhelmed with thanksgiving and relief. Hallelujah…praise God for answered prayer!
President elect Donald J. Trump is God’s gift to America. God’s Hand was all over this campaign and election!
Battered and Bruised, and Victorious!
From the very beginning, when Trump and his wife walked down the staircase in Trump Tower to announce his campaign for the presidency, the globalists on both sides of the aisle excoriated this man’s abilities. The attacks were vitriolic and biased. The primary campaign debates were demonstrative of the hatred by the media and the other candidates. Why? Because Trump is not in their globalist cabal! He’s an outsider…one who loves America, loves her people, and wants her to be strong just as she was when he was a youngster and watched his father build his business.
The Never Trumpers
Remember William F. Buckley’s National Review list of Never Trump Republicans who would rather have the corrupt socialist Hillary than vote for an outsider who wasn’t in their globalist cabal? Topping off that list was none other than Bilderberger Bill Kristol, crazy Glenn Beck, Cal Thomas, Ed Meese, Michael Medved, Erick Erickson, Brent Bozell and Club for Growth’s pro-amnesty, David McIntosh. The only one on the list of Never Trumpers who shocked me was Thomas Sowell. Sad, but true. These people would actually prefer another Trotskyite Republican who would lose to the corrupt hardcore socialist, Hillary Clinton, rather than have an outsider who could win and truly Make America Great Again!
Lindsey Graham dropped out of the race and put his support behind Jeb Bush, saying he did not believe Trump was a reliable conservative…and Graham is???? Jeb Bush dropped out of the race, and the entire Bush family voted for Hillary Clinton; great Republican conservatives all who would vote for the corrupt socialist liar rather than their own Republican nominee. Now that Trump is our new President elect; Jeb Bush is saying he and his wife will pray for Trump. Yeah well, Jeb, actions speak louder than words.
Mitt Romney condemned Donald Trump despite the fact that he called Trump in 2012 begging for support and help in winning his campaign. Trump went to bat for him and funded his campaign, but when Trump was campaigning, Romney turned his back on him. Why? Because the Never Trumpers from National Review, Lindsey Graham, the Bushes, and Mitt Romney, are all globalist insiders. But Trump is an outsider who wants to Make America Great Again! And where did Romney go to spew his hatred for Mr. Trump? To the Hinckley Institute…does that name ring a bell? [Link]
The Media
The leftist media spewed its negative diatribe against Trump daily, looking for any crack in his armor to expose him as a foul human being who has no right to even run for high office. The right wing media was equally as vitriolic in its hatred of Trump. Megyn Kelly on Fox News epitomized the distaste for this blue-collar billionaire beloved by America’s citizens. Of course, few people know that Fox News funded Hillary to the tune of $3 million and allegedly 96% of their employees vote democratic. Fair and balanced my backside.
Not one of the moderators in the primary debates or the three debates with Clinton even came close to being a Republican, much less a conservative, so Mr. Trump had to put up with the leftist pro-Clinton cabal asking every debate question. Then too, Donna Brazile fed the debate questions to Hillary in advance…how special of her. Cheaters didn’t win this time!
The MSM didn’t report squat on the very telling Assange WikiLeaks’ emails, and they ignored or downplayed all of Hillary Clinton’s treasonous activities with Pay to Play, her emails on private cell phones, and the Clinton Foundation.
World Leaders Happy
Obviously, our new President elect has already made a number of foreign leaders quite happy. Not only will there be mutual respect between President Trump and these leaders, but there will also be renewed respect for the United States. Eight years of dealing with Obama has obviously strained many relationships. A number of leaders phoned our new President the day after the election.
Reuters reported that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who happens to be a Muslim, was the first international call made to President-elect Trump, coming on Wednesday. President al-Sisi expressed his hopes of fostering closer diplomatic ties with the US under the Trump administration.
Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu is certainly happy. For eight years, he has had to deal with Obama treating him as though he’s a nuisance. President Obama has made deals with the country who is Israel’s number one enemy, and ignored Netanyahu’s plaintive objections. [Link]
Bibi called President elect Trump and said, “My friend, congratulations on being elected president of the United States of America. You are a great friend of Israel. Over the years you’ve expressed your support consistently, and I deeply appreciate it.” He added he was “confident, the two of us, working closely together, will bring the great alliance between our two countries to even greater heights.”
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, who has been engaged in an ongoing war of words with Obama and the UN and has expanded to include some diplomatic collateral damage, also offered a congratulatory message. Duterte has been disgusted with Obama’s dismissive, dictatorial manner of dealing with the Filipino leader. He is clearly delighted that Obama’s successor was beaten.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was optimistic, with the Kremlin writing that Mr. Putin, “expressed hope for joint work to restore Russian-American relations from their state of crisis, and also to address pressing international issues and search for effective responses to challenges concerning global security.”
Trump Supporters Joyous
The working-class Americans have taken our country back. They were tired of losing, and said, Enough! Then they went out in droves and voted for the blue-collar billionaire businessman who spoke their language.
All the grassroots Americans who have supported Mr. Trump from the beginning of his campaign, are ecstatic, and we know in our hearts that God has blessed our nation. We also know that there is a lot of very hard work ahead of Mr. Trump, and that the administration he chooses will be responsible for accomplishing the goals he has set forth.
Our new President will need prayer, as will his wife and family, and his entire administration. His job will not be an easy one, but I am confident that our nation will see changes that will greatly benefit all her people.
One long battle is over, and now many new ones will begin, but we have a leader who we can be proud to call our President.

Identity Politics in America: a Post-Mortem
BY MICHELLE MALKIN

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Here is what eight years of President Obama’s “post-racial” reign have wrought.
The weekend before Election Day, Hillary Clinton grinned from ear to ear at a Cleveland rally while reciting a verse from Jay-Z’s remix of Young Jeezy’s “My President is Black.”
As the rapper and his Black Lives Matter-promoting wife, Beyonce, beamed on stage nearby, pandersuit-clad Clinton twanged with a stilted accent:
“Remember, Jay memorably said: ‘Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther could walk, and Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama could run, and Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly.'”
This would be comical if not for the noxious cynicism of it all. Clinton may not remember (if she was ever aware in the first place), but the original version of “My President is Black” is a brazen middle finger to nonblack America.
Just a few lines after the verse Hillary quoted, the song taunts:
Hello Miss America, hey pretty lady
Red, white, and blue flag, wave for me baby
Never thought I’d say this s—, baby I’m good
You can keep your p—, I don’t want no more Bush
No more war, no more Iraq
No more white lies, the President is black
So the poster granny for liberal white privilege, groveling for black votes, kissed the rings of celebrity Obama BFFs Jay-Z and Beyonce by parroting an inflammatory anthem laced with profanities and radical racialized gloating.
Could there have been a more perfect beclownment to cap Clinton’s phony-baloney “Stronger Together” campaign?
After denigrating millions of Trump supporters as “deplorable” and “irredeemable” earlier this year, Clinton then unctuously confessed on election eve: “I regret deeply how angry the tone of the campaign became.”
Note the classic textbook employment of the passive voice to evade personal responsibility.
The good news is that after being blasted as haters by Clinton’s hate-filled minions, after being slapped down as racial “cowards” by Clintonite holdover Eric Holder, after being lambasted as “xenophobes” and “nativists” by immigration expansionists in both parties, after enduring a string of faked hate crimes blamed on conservatives, after ceaseless accusations of “Islamophobia” in the wake of jihad attacks on American soil, after baseless accusations of “homophobia” for protesting the government’s gay wedding cake coercion, and after mourning a growing list of police officers ambushed and targeted by violent thugs seeking racial vengeance, an undeniable movement of citizens in the 2016 election cycle decided to push back.
When all is said and done, one of the most important cultural accomplishments of Donald Trump’s bid will be the platform he created for Americans of all colors, ethnicities, political affiliations, and socioeconomic backgrounds to defy soul-draining identity politics.
Beltway chin-pullers expediently focused on Trump’s white and conservative supporters who are rightly sick and tired of social justice double standards. But they ignored the increasingly vocal constituency of hyphen-free, label-rejecting American People Against Political Correctness who don’t fit old narratives and boxes.
And the same “Never Trump” pundits and establishment political strategists who gabbed endlessly about the need for “minority outreach” after 2012 were flummoxed by the blacks, gays, Latinos, women and Democrats who rallied behind the GOP candidate.
The most important speech of the 2016 election cycle wasn’t delivered by one of the presidential candidates. It came from iconoclastic Silicon Valley entrepreneur/investor and Trump supporter Peter Thiel who best explained the historically significant backlash against the intolerant tolerance mob and phony diversity-mongers.
“Louder voices have sent a message that they do not intend to tolerate the views of one half of the country,” he observed at the National Press Club last week. He recounted how the gay magazine The Advocate, which had once praised him as a “gay innovator,” declared he was “not a gay man” anymore because of his libertarian, limited-government politics.
“The lie behind the buzzword of diversity could not be made more clear,” Thiel noted. “If you don’t conform, then you don’t count as diverse, no matter what your personal background.”
Trump’s eclectic coalition was bound by that common thread: disaffected individuals tired of being told they don’t count and discounted because their views do not properly “match” their gender, chromosomes, skin color or ethnicity. That is exactly why the more they and their nominee were demonized, the stronger their support grew.
“No matter what happens in this election,” Thiel concluded last week, “what Trump represents isn’t crazy and it’s not going away.”
He’s right. I too often take for granted my own personal awakening about the entrenched tribalism of identity politics at a crazy liberal arts college in the early 1990s. The liberation from collectivist ideology is profound and lasting. Witnessing so many outspoken newcomers arrive at this enlightenment, however circuitous the route, has been the most encouraging and underappreciated phenomenon of the 2016 campaign.
