Excellent writeup!

Think of how much consternation we had over the election, expecting shenanigans like the last time. And the wait for the inauguration (so many things to go wrong). But we made it!

And Trump is actually delivering the goods. Halleluiah!

Yes, I was a nervous wreck the week before the inauguration. We had a watch party with my R women's group and tears were streaming down many of our faces with relief. I didn't realize just how tense I was until the moment happened and felt like a great weight had been lifted.

128 clubs in CA:

The California Federation of Republican Women have much to celebrate in 2023. Founded in 1925, we are celebrating 98 years of history in California. We are proud to be one of the 11 Charter members of NFRW which was founded in 1938. CFRW is a grassroots political organization with more than 9,500 members and 128 local clubs. We continue to build on the GOP's legacy as the Party that pioneered and championed women's suffrage. CFRW supports the policies and objectives of the Republican National Committee and is sometimes referred to as the education arm of the Republican Party. Our members at the local, state and national level work to elect Republican candidates and advocate the Party's philosophy and initiatives. Our state and our nation are at risk due to the liberal policies of those who will do anything to gain power. Come help us make a difference!

Hi Lisa, if you find a National Federation of Republican Women group near you, it would be wise to vet them before joining. Some of the chapters have the reputation of being largely RINO, and have seemingly fallen prey to the anti-American, woke culture that reigned during Biden's regime. I anticipate a turnaround in the chapters whose members go whichever way the wind is blowing. But that turnaround at those compromised chapters will be effective only as long as the wind is blowing in the right direction. And for now, it is filling our sails, praise God!

Well, yes, we have 3 clubs in our Metro area and the one I am president of is actually a harmonious mix of 'old school' R's and those who are more reform minded. We all agree on President Trump though and manage to get along, and are the largest of the 3 clubs by a lot, because we do all get along and no drama. We had a contentious governors race primary last year and we were totally divided as to who we supported but once the primary was over we all agreed to get behind the winner. Some of these old school ladies are the most active volunteers - staff the local R office, have 'phone bank' parties, and letter stuffing parties. Any R candidate who asks for help will get it from these ladies. Our club had almost 9000 volunteer hours last year. I hate the term RINO though as I think it is over-used. We are in a blue county and have had some very good candidates for office get shunned by some people because they are not conservative enough and end up losing to the D.

There was actually a big brouhaha at last years' NFRW convention as there was a club in CA that had a trans man who wanted to be president of one of the local clubs - there were 2 slates of candidates running for the national org officers - one who wanted to tolerate it (fear of expensive lawsuits), and another who were like heck no. The heck no's got elected by a sizeable margin. The dude ended up dropping out - no lawsuits.

And all of it is b.s.! I had two M-to-F metalworkers / subcontractors supporting my co. (Both retired now.) To the consternation of my idiot-lib LA sister, my stand is: I am content to call them and interact with them AS: "men who prefer to live as women." I don't understand it, I'm not entirely comfortable with it -- but "my" two were NOT interested in children or in FORCING anyone to call them -- or allow them to participate in -- anything. They just wanted to do their jobs, live their lives, and be left alone. Deal!

(I do mull over, in wonderment and confusion, the ... depth of feeling one had ABOUT choosing (in 'his' late-20s, early 30s?) to 'live as a woman.' The FORCE of that desire, the (self-perceived) NEED to make and live with that change... Whew! I don't understand it. BUT -- I acknowledge the strength of that need, and the willingness to live forever with the negative ramifications caused by it.)

Trump's philosophy can be summarized so far as "we *can* just do things".

Virtually anything that advances the interests of every day Americans has been stymied by shrieks of "you can't do that!!" Deport illegal aliens? You can't do that! Stop the flood of foreigners pouring in with no allegiance to the country? You can't do that! Put the military on the border? You can't do that! Tariffs on countries that abuse what's laughably called "free trade"? You can't do that! Fire deadbeat and scheming federal workers? You can't do that! Forbid mentally-ill men from invading women's spaces? You can't do that! Cut off funding to Ukraine? You can't do that! Tell Netanyahu to get his ass into the office on Saturday and make a deal? You can't do that! Take Greenland from piss-ant Denmark to increase our national security? You can't do that!

Trump is proving that it turns out he can do that, and no one can stop him. It's just that no Republican president in the last fifty years ever had the backbone to even try. They were cowards and God bless him, Trump is fearless. The Pacific Palisades press conference was a masterpiece in this regard. The Bolsheviks threw up excuse after about why things couldn't be done. Trump batted them aside like flies and made them look like fools. As Mel Gibson (whose house burned down) put it, "Dad is home and he's getting the belt ready".

What Trump is teaching all of us is that you *never* let bad faith opposition frame the terms of the debate. Never. You don't let them construct disingenuous boundaries that box us into "solutions" that only they allow. You don't let others manipulate us through guilt, emotionalism, and other psychological bad-faith techniques. You don't let them forbid ideas from being discussed. And when they do try it, you laugh at them, belittle them, and call them out as the pathetic weasels they are. But as Trump has also showed us, you leave them a face-saving out. Once they've been brought to heal, you act graciously. The man understands persuasion and deal-making like no other.

It amazes me how so many seemingly smart people *still* don't understand this, or at least pretend like they don't. But buckle up folks it's going to be a wild ride but should be a lot of fun.

My favorite comedy film (the greatest movie ever made...with a rubber shark in it), "Joe vs. the Volcano," has a great moment in it, when Joe is quitting his horrible job. He works in what appears to be a basement stockroom, with a huge pipe running down the wall, with a giant, steering wheel-like valve with a sign hanging on it saying, "Main Drain. Do not touch." Joe tosses the sign and cranks the wheel. The wheel squeaks, and...nothing happens. He says, "Do you know how long I've wanted to do that?"

THAT, is what Trump is doing.

And I, for one, am HERE FOR IT! (and I know I'm far from alone).

My wife and I watched President Trump's roundtable yesterday in its entirety. We were struck by Trump's total command of the proceedings.

He was informed, intelligent, constructive, and, perhaps most importantly, respectful even to those he knows (e.g., Karen Bass), to be among his biggest detractors. I cannot imagine any president in my lifetime who would go to such great lengths to be accessible and representative of Americans as a whole.

Batia's avatar

It's interesting that you say, "they acted like truly caring leaders." Is Melania a leader? I saw her role as being a supportive presence for Trump, but maybe she is a leader as well, albeit not directly elected.

I'm curious, what used to be the role of a queen? She didn't have any direct power. Was her role simply (or not so simply) to provide support for the king and shore up the king's honor and authority? Was she a leader, and in what way? Was she a leader because she had the king's ear? Because she was an extension of the king in some way? Or, a team with the king?

And from another angle, how much support does a man receive from his wife standing silently with him? I guess, a lot? Presumably Melania also gives Trump feedback or the benefit of a second perspective, in private and in a way that's helpful to him.

I've read of a wife referred to as a "king-maker." Do men naturally recognize the truth of this dynamic? Is this only a mystery in our "post-king" feminism-saturated society?

Yes, much as I love what we've seen so far, I don't have much hope for scamdemic accountability. I think it's more than his pride and ego.

Good points. But - I've read that he is several times. A search for "Trump is a germaphobe" turned up plenty of hits, saying he describes himself as one. Try it if you doubt, so many there's no point in posting a link.

Like most irrational psychological conditions, it manifests in irrational ways (surprise!). I'd call my Dad a germaphobe. He was meticulous about cleanliness in many but not all ways. Often actually spoke about "germs" and avoiding them. But loved to work in the dirt, loved to mingle, was an inveterate hand-shaker. So while your points make sense, phobias often don't.

Milei Murders the WEF

"THEY ARE PEDOPHILES"

Argentinean President Javier Milei is seen, here issuing the coup de grâce to the World Economic Forum, following Donald Trump's teleconferenced deletion of the Davos Agenda, with his vow to unleash the United States' untapped petroleum reserves, along with his complete demolition of DEI policies at home and with the exit from the United Nations-sponsored "Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative" by JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley.

The list of erstwhile Davos mainstays not in attendance this year also speaks volumes. Completely absent were Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chinese President Xi Jinping, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italy's leader Giorgia Meloni and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Milei's succinct and impassioned speech appears to have meted-out the final Death Blow to the WEF.

It seems fair, at this point to ask whether there will ever be another Davos meeting...

A few years back, I think 2022, he did a message, called, “Run to the Roar”. It started with how the male lion stands on one side of a grassy plain. The females of his pride stand on the other side hidden. When game wanders out on the plains, the lion lets out a huge roar. The terrified game run in the opposite direction right into the killers of the pride, the lionesses. The idea is our culture is trying to induce panic and fear by crying loudly and predicting doom. Be aware, but go forward boldly toward the fear, not run from it.

David Barton is one of the best sources of the American development away from British rule.

As a student of the ancient art of astrology for 53 years, an art mostly lost down thru the ages, I do my best. I did Trump's natal chart years ago. Nothing has changed with it, because it is fixed at our moment of birth, but my understanding of it has changed and increased in understanding.

Donald J. Trump has the royal sign of Leo rising with his Mars right on the ascending degree. The ascending (or "rising") Sign is our mask, our personality, the face we show to the world around us. That's why we have these recognitions of his lion-like nature.

But there is much more. There is more to DJT than just the Mars in Leo rising. He was born at the Full Moon of June 1946 with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius.

This is the fulfillment of the Gemini's task, the height of his manifestation of same. He that can be in two places at the same time, like the Kwisatz Haderach. And Sagittarius bestows that legendary Jupiterian optimism. As that famous Sagittarian, Winston Churchill said, 'Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts'.

Trump Outlaws CBDC – Telling Schwab and the WEF to Stuff it!

This means that there will be no digital dollar and the end of Kaus Schwab’s dream of you will own nothing and be happy................

President Trump Signs Executive Order To Ban Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC). As I have been warning and appeared in the movie CBDC, the End of Money, that it would have been unconstitutional for the Federal Reserve to create a CBDC, and my sources had confirmed that the Fed would not make a CBDC. This is important that chalks one up for the people – retaining our freedom.

This means that there will be no digital dollar and the end of Kaus Schwab’s dream of you will own nothing and be happy. A CBDC was to be programmable where the government would decide what you could buy or sell...

These people are destroying our country, taking us into World War III, and wiping out Western Civilization. It is time for the Trump Administration to start prosecuting these fake journalists...

I hate the fake journalism too, but I think it’s better to encourage and reward and recognize the truth tellers and the whistleblowers. Would love to see Trump pardon Edward Snowden. Would love to see Trump take pharmaceutical ads off the TV. That would drastically change TV news. Extremely important to get RFK confirmed (or recess appointed if necessary) because chronic disease is what’s financially running us off the cliff. Not to mention killing us.

PJ - With all the Executive Orders Trump has signed, I don’t see how RFK’s confirmation relates to this. Trump has always complained about ‘fake news’ (and he’s right); but if the pharmaceutical industry is not allowed to advertise on TV/Internet/Radio/print media, that would make a big difference.

Davos 2025: Milei slams Starmer’s woke policy of jailing citizens for exposing Muslim rape gangs and Trump declares “America is back”

Argentina’s President Javier Milei addressed the World Economic Forum in 2024 and 2025, criticising global elites and their policies, and warning that the Western world is in danger due to abandoning freedom for collectivist ideologies.

This year, he made a pointed dig at the UK’s socialist government, led by Keir Starmer, for imprisoning citizens for exposing Muslim gangs that have groomed and raped white children.

US President Donald Trump also addressed the Davos crowd in 2025, stating that America is back and open for business and highlighting his administration’s actions to fix economic chaos and promote freedom and sovereignty...

My recollections may be off but my impression of FEMA had been that when it was a stand-alone agency it was somewhat effective.

On those lines of FEMA becoming a partisan hack department once it was pulled in under homeland security: When Bush was putting the “Department of Homeland Security” together, I was cringing.

FEMA, from its inception, was not designed to help citizens in emergencies. It was designed to control citizens for the elites. If Trump had NOT done Operation Warp Speed, the bulk of non-complying Americans, as well as other sheepals, would have been forced into camps.That WAS the plan! Population control and narrative control. There are many camps built throughout the U.S. that Trump will either dismantle eventually or destroy. FEMA is evil!

Another reader at the Hitler library. Enjoy your comradeship with Greta Thunberg, the disturbed college students and Marxist professors, all the radical leftist groups, Hamas, Hezbollah, all the Arabs calling for death to all Jews. You’re all such a lovely bunch.

The Bible has plenty to say about you.

Can you answer this question that no Arab nation at the U.N. could answer?

International human rights lawyer, Hillel Neuer, silences the entire Arab world at the UN Human Rights Council after they dared to criticize the human rights record of Israel, i.e. the Jewish state.

He did it with one simple question: "Where are your Jews?"

After the re-establishment of the State of Israel, the Arabs not only tried to destroy the Jewish state but also tried to get rid of the Jewish minority in their own states.

Jews suffered brutal oppression, persecution and ethnic cleansing from many Arab-Muslim countries including: Algeria, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria."

LOL! You assume I'm a Nazi. I don't care what you think. You think words bother me. I know who they are. I know God's promises to true Israel. One being, they were to become MANY nations with King and Queens. Not a single state that has caused nothing but wars and destruction. Another is these nations would be blessed. Blessed isn't taking money from all the other nations. Would you like for me to post the Jewish books THEY wrote admitting they're Edom?

There's a reason they were booted out of 109 nations over the centuries, and they don't deny it, but they won't tell you why. I believe my ancestors before I believe what the children of Satan/Cain say. Genesis 3:15, John 8:44, 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17, and many more. There are scriptures telling you what's going to happen to them like Obidiah 18.

First, God never renamed them to Jews. Modern day Jews are not Hebrews, Judeans, Israelites, or Christians. God always renamed them. If you study the bible and history, you will know who they are and now many are realizing it which fulfils scripture since God said he would bring them back into remembrance in the last days. Christ even confronted them many times. The Jews even admitted to Christ they were not slaves in John 8:33. Huh oh... I guess they were never in Egypt. LOL Christ's blood is on the Jews and their posterity for murdering Him. Matthew 27:25 There is no escape.

Wait until the rest of God's people find out Mystery Babylon is Jerusalem. This can be easily ascertained by the words of Christ, Paul, and Matthew. The secret lies within the murdering of the prophets that God sent.

Are you Jewish or a Christion Zionist? I don't listen to Jews because they lie. The Talmud makes it very clear about the ways of Jews and what they think of others.

I've spent years and thousands of hours researching. You'll never convince me because I believe the bible first. I know who's pushing these agendas. I see the propaganda and disinformation. I was trained in it. Tik-Tok

By the way, the hell with Islam too. They're almost as worse. You sure do make a lot of assumptions and accusations towards people you don't know.

There's a reason Jewish children start reading the Talmud around 13 years old. You can't refute it, nor do you want to confront it. Hate is subjective based on one's knowledge of a particular subject. I'm not ignorant which is why you want to walk away. I can unleash a ton of information if you want to continue.

This is for general consumption.

I was a precocious 10 year old when I stumbled across an anniversary edition of Life magazine.

It was from the 10 year anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camps. If I live to be a hundred or more, if I forget my own name, I will never forget those images of living skeletons peering through the barb wire fences at the American soldiers. I will never forget the massive piles of dead skeletons awaiting burial in an enormous pit. I will never forget reading about how entire Jewish families had been taken from their homes at gunpoint and loaded like sardines with no food, water, air, heat or toileting abilities and hauled off to concentration camps. If they were too young, too old, or too disabled to do any useful work, they were separated out for immediate death. Otherwise they were subjected to starvation and unbearable labor conditions; not to mention exposure to the elements without relief. I read about how the strongest were forced to work; running gas showers and ovens to kill their undesirable people and digging the pit graves to bury them. Of course, the ones who were killed in mass by firing squads were done by the Germans. But it was Jews who buried them. And some Jews had the job of sorting through belongings taken from the Jews, like eye glasses and tooth fillings; the occasional doll or stuffed animal that had been clutched by a Jewish child.

I read about what the survivors went through in trying to locate family members; trying to heal enough to function, trying to regain some sense of safety after a nightmare that has to rival any in the history of man.

That’s why there is a nation of Israel today. Even the U.N., evil from its inception, had to recognize that Jewish people had to be given their own country, with defensible borders. Palestine, a barren wasteland (look up Mark Twain’s description from the late 1800’s) was the natural choice. The Jews renamed it Israel (as in God’s eyes it has always been) and set to work making it the major nation (the size of New Jersey) that it is today.

Of course Satan came raging against them from day one and the war has never ceased, nor will it until Jesus returns and defeats the serpent and ushers in eternity.

So don’t try and tell me that Hitler was actually a good guy, trying to do the world a favor. You reveal yourself as heartless and I want nothing to do with you.

Well, aren’t you a lovely instigator of hatred towards Jews. You need to consider what happened to your brethren; Haman and Hitler and Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis (what is with the letter ‘H’!)

Who killed Jesus? I did. He died for my sins same as if I were the only person ever created. I did nothing to deserve his sacrifice. There’s nothing I could ever do to pay for my sins.

He died and rose again according to a plan that was in place from the beginning of creation so that after this life I can dwell forever with him in Paradise. He loves me and wants me and I love him above all things. He died for every single Jew and every single Gentile. He loves us all and wants us all.

I consider antisemites to be lower than a snake’s belly. I believe you are doing the work of Satan, who boils with hatred for Jews. I don’t give a rip about your Haman, Hitler, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, etc., etc. propaganda. Save your time and effort.

But all accusers of Israel need to ask themselves this question; where are the large populations of Jews that used to live in the various Middle East countries? Israel (the size of New Jersey) accepts Arabs who are willing to peacefully coexist. Why are Jews not accepted by the Arab nations (the size of the U.S.)?

That's like saying some Americans are Nazis but not all Americans are Nazis. My observation is that Netanyahu is extremely unpopular in Israel and would have been long booted out except for the war he instigated by standing down the IDF for a false flag excuse to begin his war to re-create The Greater Israel, all with the backing of the Biden regime. The extermination of the Gaza inhabitants was but the opening chapter of his war that has now been expanded into Lebanon and the West Bank/Jordan. The objective of the NeoCons in the USG is to get America fully committed to this war eventually destroying Iran and challenging Russia on her southern flank. If that happens, those in the American church who have been praying for Armageddon and their Rapture/Great Escape may very well get their prayers answered... at least the Armageddon part.

The Zionist Talmud is not the Torah. The life and teachings of Christ is the fulfillment of the Torah and the Prophets as Christ illustrates in His Revelation to John. Before His death, Christ vociferously condemned the religious establishment of Israel and their Talmudic teachings, warned them of the Judgement to come for their apostasy and then warned them again through John's Revelation of Christ just prior to God's destruction of the Temple and of Jerusalem in 70AD thus fulfilling His words that THIS GENERATION would not pass away till His words He spoke to His disciples were fulfilled. The Zionism of today is the off-spring of those who Jesus condemned when He walked the earth.

All Jews?... No. I view them the same as any other who does not believe in Christianity and hold no ill will toward any unbeliever. I'm not an expert but I don't think all Jews hold to the Talmud which itself is a perversion of the Biblical faith delivered in the Torah and the Prophets and justification for all kinds of immorality. Jesus' words in the Gospels are very clear about that which Paul also emphasized. The people who understood God's words in the Torah understood Jesus' words and recognized Him as their Messiah.

Zionism is an outgrowth of the Talmud's teachings and a continuation of the apostasy that Jesus riled against and condemned as anyone can read about in the Gospels. Zionism is also a blight in the American church as many Christians have been deceived into believing this is "God's will". Supporting such is Christian heresy. Talmudic teachings are simply a cult and Zionism is leading the people of Israel into a war that threatens to get them all killed. For Christians to support such is to be blind to the immorality of the Talmud and Zionism.

I never mind "wordy", if interesting and your replies almost always are...

So... "the Talmud which itself is a perversion of the Biblical faith delivered in the Torah and the Prophets and justification for all kinds of immorality."

Odd that the history (mythology?) or "religion" that originated the Torah... is the same that originated the Talmud... yet you feel that all jews, of course, honor the Torah, but do not honor the Talmud? IMO... that is doubtful.

It seems that you reject the jews dogma, and believe that Christianity is a totally unconnected theology... to me, the Torah and Talmud are connected, certainly by observant jews, and likely, in reality, most.

To honor the Torah is to honor those that originated it... do you really think those originators would reject the Talmud?

When the Towers collapsed, the huge mass of the buildings was gone. There was very little left in the buildings' footprints. Their mass had been vaporized - quite literally - by US military DEW weapons..............................
