Promises, Promises

Promises, Promises... What you can deliver is what matters
Promises, Promises

Traditionally politicians make a lot of promises. Equally traditionally, they make little to no effort to fulfill them after getting elected into office. That a politician’s campaign promises are worth less than the air it took for him to make them has long been held to be an incontrovertible truth.

But then, this has been the stock and trade of career- and would-be career politicians – i.e., Establishment Politicians, at least at the federal level. It has absolutely nothing to do with President Trump. President Trump, in yet another example of his not being a normal politician, has done his best to fulfill each and every one of his campaign promises as quickly as possible, and he’s some large measure of success to-date in doing so to-date despite the judicial misconduct of certain judges.

And this is exactly why the Democrats are so Hell-bent to destroy him. They can’t handle someone in office who plans to deliver what he promised to the American people.

Words can be important, but both actions and the results that really matter. Hence, a POTUS – any POTUS – should be judged upon his record and the records, if any, that he sets. 😉

The Inconceivable Election

It's Inconceivable!
Trump Vs. Hillary? Inconceivable!

Fortunately, I have developed an tolerance, if not actually immunity, to pompous asses. Hence, I don’t suffer from the same issue or quandary as our most lampooned Sicilian does. 😉

That being the case, unlike the traitors of the #NeverTrump mobs, I will form up and toe the line by voting for Mr. in the general election. Unlike them, I know that a vote not cast for Trump is essentially a vote for Hillary, much as Obama won the election partially because Americans chose not to vote for McCain and stayed home on election day whereas our domestic enemies gathered at the polls.

Still, the simple fact that we’re going to have a presidential election between Trump and Hillary was, until now, inconceivable.

He Was Asking For It

There’s a whole lot of what we’re forced to call “people” piling on Donald Trump and blaming him for the non-Whites and Liberals who’ve repeatedly turned to violence against him and his supporters. Essentially, they say he was asking for it.

There’s politicians doing it:

The ugly, divisive rhetoric we are hearing from Donald Trump and the encouragement of violence and aggression is wrong, and it’s dangerous. If you play with matches, you’re going to start a fire you can’t control.

That’s not leadership. That’s political arson.

Hillary Clinton

I would appeal to for every candidate is decency and civility, that we can disagree and disagree forcefully while still respecting each other and not engaging in insults and vulgarity and not encouraging violence.

Ted Cruz

You wonder if we’re headed in a different direction today where we’re no longer capable of having differences of opinion but in fact now protests become a license to take up violence and take on your opponents physically. This is what happens when a leading presidential candidate goes around feeding into a narrative of bitterness and anger and frustration.

Marco Rubio

 

And then there’s the Lamestream Media.

Anybody who tells you that there is no connection between the behavior of the mob at these events and the behavior of the man at the podium leading the mob at these events is not actually watching he’s been saying from the podium. What he has been saying, and the way he has been egging it on, it has been escalating

Rachel Maddow

[sic] … a political campaign whose security has been so stifling as to draw angry comparisons to fascist regimes would plan a key rally for Trump in the middle of a racially diverse urban campus.

Joe Scarborough

Someone care to tell me who, with the exceptions that Mr. Trump is a White and a man, how this is any different from blaming a woman who was drunk or dressed “provocatively” for her own rape? Asking for it is asking for it, after all.

Of course, this question has to be put to the Liberals and Progressives. The non-Whites in these times have a different definition of rape and their behavior vis-a-vis Mr. Trump adheres to that logic.

Hubris Is A Sin

Confess Don't Gloat
Hubris Is A Sin

One should remember, if one is Catholic, that the Confessional is for the confession and repentance of sins, not the boasting of good works. 😉 Of course, it’s also important to remember one’s catechism so that one can tell difference between sin and community service.
