It is called revenge of what rhymes with "the nerds" - the t----!

Perhaps we have had our fill of radical PC ideology and now are prepared for some ordinary old fashion, "aw shucks" John Wayne/James Stewart type patriotism?

I am not a consensus thinker and seldom have been.  Sometimes I am right, sometimes wrong. Being an independent thinker has served me well but often leaves me lonely because no one likes to have their comfort zone and "my mind's made up so don't confront with me with another viewpoint," challenged.

Therefore, I suspect the press and media folk and radicals who have taken over the Demwit Party along with the slave like supporters of Hillarious will ultimately be disappointed. Why?  Because, should Trump become the Republican nominee, I suspect Republicans will not rend  and rip themselves apart since the prospect of Hillary becoming president will weld them into a united force.

If I am correct, it will be a very interesting presidential race because Trump might appeal to many who have given up voting, the total vote could the largest %  in recent history as two "unlikeables" fight for the Oval Office. Certainly Trump will create some excitement and that will be a relief compared to Hillary's boring dullness.

Rest assured neither will drown us in soaring rhetoric.

Stay tuned 'cause time will tell (See 1 below.)

The meeting for Peter Muller went well and if those living at The Landings get out and vote, Peter's prospects will be greatly enhanced.

This is not a partisan or black versus white issue although there are those in the black community that are trying to make it so in order to energize their faithfuls. Blacks in Savannah have been on the end of losing battles of late as white candidates have been winning their races. Financial matters, particularly black on black crime, and corruption reached a point where even black voters were getting alarmed

The circuit court race is strictly a matter of who has the best judicial temperament, who will be equitable in administering the law and who has the willingness to work hard so justice will get back to being timely.

Peter's opponent has never been challenged in the , almost, 25 years he has served on the bench because lawyers are afraid/reluctant to challenge judges they come before.  This is why we have some judges who do not deserve their position.

I hope you will consider Peter Muller.  His name appears on both ballots and the election is May 24 and early voting begins May 2. The Landings vote will really matter in this election.

Simple Patriotism Trumps Ideology

After 16 years, Americans have grown tired of both conservative and liberal abstractions.

The wind is at Donald Trump’s back, and it’s the kind that doesn’t lessen but build. Last 
week he won the New York primary with an astounding 60% of the vote to John Kasich’s 
25% and Ted Cruz’s 15%. This week he swept the five-state Northeast regional primaries 
with numbers that neared or surpassed the New York results—54% in Maryland, 57% in Pennsylvania, 58% in Connecticut, 61% in Delaware and 64% in Rhode Island. He beat 
Mr. Kasich in Greenwich, Conn., the affluent enclave of the old moderate Republicanism. Amazingly, he carried every county in all five states, and every county in New York 
except Manhattan. With 10 million votes, Mr. Trump is on track to become the biggest
 primary vote-getter in GOP history. He did well with varied demographic groups, old and 
young, college graduates, rich and not.
This is the kind of political momentum that tends to grow. A political saying attributed to
Haley Barbour is that in politics this is the dynamic: Good gets better and bad gets worse. 
Very smart analysts and reporters have been translating all these victories into delegate 
counts, which of course is the key question. But as I look at where we are I think: Get your
 mind off 1,237; get your mind on the wind at Donald Trump’s back. After all the missteps
 and embarrassments of the past few months, his support is building.
“I consider myself the presumptive nominee,” Mr. Trump said in his victory remarks. He
 is.
Nothing wrong with Mr. Cruz and Mr. Kasich continuing to forge on. If you added their 
votes together the other night, Mr. Trump still would have beaten them. But they’re 
imagining they still have a shot, and Mr. Cruz just brought in Carly Fiorina as a 
reinforcement. His admiration of Ronald Reagan is such that he even imitates his blunders. That is what it was for Reagan in 1976 when he picked a running mate before the convention. 
Desperate gambits are more likely to work when they don’t look desperate.
Here I note an odd aspect of this cycle. Candidates at this point, roughly nine months in, 
are supposed to be dog-tired, near the end of their personal resources, exhausted and, if 
they’re not winning, depressed. That’s how it usually goes. But Mr. Kasich is clearly 
having the time of his life and told me as much in November. Mr. Cruz told me the same 
thing last week, at a Journal editorial board meeting. I expected to see him tired and 
dragging. No, fresh as a daisy. Mr. Trump too is clearly having a ball.
I find their joy distressing. America is faced with overwhelming problems, the voters are 
deeply concerned about our future, and they’re happy little chappies in the cable news 
town hall. I think they’ve absorbed too well the idea of the power of the happy warrior. I 
would respect them more if now and then they’d outline our problems and look blue.
In my continuing quest to define aspects of Mr. Trump’s rise, to my own satisfaction, I 
offer what was said this week in a talk with a small group of political activists, all of 
whom back him. One was about to begin approaching various powerful and influential Republicans who did not support him, and make the case. I told her I’d been thinking that 
maybe Mr. Trump’s appeal is simple: What Trump supporters believe, what they perceive 
as they watch him, is that he is on America’s side.
And that comes as a great relief to them, because they believe that for 16 years Presidents 
Bush and Obama were largely about ideologies. They seemed not so much on America’s 
side as on the side of abstract notions about justice and the needs of the world. Mr. 
Obama’s ideological notions are leftist, and indeed he is a hero of the international left. He
 is about international climate-change agreements, and leftist views of gender, race and 
income equality. Mr. Bush’s White House was driven by a different ideology—
neoconservatism, democratizing, nation building, defeating evil in the world, privatizing 
Social Security.
But it was all ideology.
Then Mr. Trump comes and in his statements radiate the idea that he’s not at all interested 
in ideology, only in making America great again—through border security and tough trade
 policy, etc. He’s saying he’s on America’s side, period.
And because people are so happy to hear this after 16 years, because it seems right to 
them, they give him a pass on his lack of experience in elective office and the daily 
realities of national politics. They accept him even though he is a casino developer and 
brander who became famous on reality TV.
They forgive it all. Not only because they’re tired of bad policy but because they’re tired 
of ideology.
You could see this aspect of Trumpism—I’m about America, end of story—in his much-
discussed foreign-policy speech this week. I have found pretty much everything said about
 it to be true. It was long, occasionally awkward-sounding and sometimes contradictory. It 
was interesting nonetheless. He was trying to blend into a coherent whole what he’s 
previously said when popping off on the hustings. He was trying to establish that there’s a
theme to the pudding. He was also trying to reassure potential supporters that he is actually serious, that he does have a foreign-policy framework as opposed to just a grab bag of emotional impulses.
The speech was an attack on the reigning Washington foreign-policy elite of both parties, 
which he scored as incompetent and unsuccessful: “Logic was replaced with foolishness 
and arrogance, and this led to one foreign-policy disaster after another.” Mistakes in Iraq, 
Egypt, Libya and Syria threw the region “into crisis,” and helped create ISIS. He described democracy-promotion efforts as destructive, costing “thousands of American lives and 
many trillions of dollars.” Our resources are overextended, our allies must contribute more,
 our friends don’t trust us, nor do our allies respect us. He called for “a coherent foreign 
policy based on American interests.” His interest is “focusing on creating stability.” “We must stop importing extremism through senseless immigration policies,” including a “pause for reassessment,” which will help prevent the next San Bernardino.
He positioned himself to Hillary Clinton’s left on foreign policy—she is hawkish, too 
eager for assertions of U.S. military power, and has bad judgement. This will be the first 
time in modern history a Republican presidential candidate is to the left of the Democrat, 
and that will make things interesting. It reminded me of how Mr. Trump, in his insistence 
that he will not cut or add new limits to entitlement spending, could get to Mrs. Clinton’s 
left on that key domestic question, too.
He certainly jumbles up the categories. Bobby Knight, introducing him at a rally in 
Evansville, Ind., on Thursday, said that Mr. Trump is not a Republican or a Democrat. The
 crowd seemed to like that a lot.
Those conservative writers and thinkers who have for nine months warned the base that 
Mr. Trump is not a conservative should consider the idea that a large portion of the 
Republican base no longer sees itself as conservative, at least as that term has been 
defined the past 15 years by Washington writers and thinkers.
