Before China unleashed a virus that has brought the world to it's knees and exposed  their Communist Government for what it is, there was a man, who happened to be our president, who was busy changing the vision and thinking of the world.

There are those so obsessed and blinded by his unorthodox methods and persona they cannot grasp the message of the author below.  Progressives are the enemy of hope for world peace and sanity.


THIS IS A PIECE WRITTEN BY A 26-YEAR-OLD MAN, GAGE SKIDMORE, WHO'S VERY WELL KNOWN FOR HIS POLITICAL AND POP CULTURE PHOTOGRAPHY.  AND HE'S ONE HELL OF AN OBSERVER AND WRITER AS WELL.  AGREE OR DISAGREE, THIS PIECE OFFERS EXCEPTIONAL INSIGHT INTO OUR PRESIDENT AND HIS IMPRIMATUR NOT ONLY ON OUR NATION BUT THE ENTIRE GLOBE.   

James Carville says Trump is the greatest threat to America since the fall of communism. It is easy to laugh away such a declaration, but I think there is an invaluable truth expressed. Trump is as important in stature as the United States ' most formidable military and political opponent of the twentieth century. Trumpism as an ideological force has the mass and acceleration of a Soviet Empire that threatened to conquer the world. Nobody speaks about the Bush Doctrine in such terms. Nobody confuses the Obama Doctrine or the Carter Doctrine as projecting that kind of power.  Yet here we are, just three years after the election, and somehow the belittled and mocked hotel owner from Queens has stumbled into creating a movement that matches in strength and potency what took Marx, Lenin, and Stalin over a century to perfect. Consider the fear that Carville and his ilk must harbor about what is to come.

What does he see that makes him tremble so? In a word, greatness.

How could he not? When you see a man being endlessly ridiculed and scorned brush off those insults with ease and smile back, you know something is different. When you watch a 6'3" sack of energy bustling across the stage four or more times a day in suit and tie before tens of thousands of spectators watching his every move, and he seems more rested and comfortable than the press gallery a third his age, you know you haven't seen this before. When his enemies spend years using the combined forces of corporate media, the legal system, and the intelligence agencies to dispose of him one way or another, and the man responds with an off-the-cuff one-liner that shows he could not care less, you know you are dealing with something rare.

Carville hates the man because he knows what he is.  Donald Trump is a world-historical figure. He is not merely apart of history; he is an agent warping it with his own gravity.  His ideas and actions represent a firm break from the prevailing paradigms of the past. His is an original voice arguing aggressively against the status quo.  If everything about this moment feels different, that's because it is.  We are all witnesses to history's play, but few generations see a world-historical figure ascend to its stage.  

The media are blind to the moment, but future historians will see. Almost everything in the public sphere is now defined in relation to Donald Trump.  

He stood on the dais during his inauguration and practically said, "See all these Republicans and Democrats and their great plans for our country?I'm going to destroy them all and burn down most of what they've built since World War II."  No wonder both sides joined hands with the Deep State and attempted to do by coup what Hillary could not.  Winning the American presidency is one thing, but shining a bright light on what the American government has become is something else entirely.  

Consider how many powerful ideas Donald Trump has cast into the national consciousness. He has exposed both major parties as socialist globalist cults more concerned with government health care and foreign nation-building than a policy for American freedom   He has exposed how free trade can never be free when based on slave labor.  He has exposed how the silent destruction of towns across the Midwest came not from China's comparative advantage, but from American companies' use of slavery by proxy.   He has redirected investment away from Wall Street and toward Main Street for the first time in over thirty years and has unleashed three decades' worth of pent up entrepreneurial energy in the very towns long deemed dead. He has questioned how the federal government can have any legitimacy if it fails at enforcing its very own immigration laws.  

Not one Nobel laureate imagined this American renaissance of GDP and stock market surge, record-low unemployment, wage growth, and low inflation in one bubbling cauldron.  It took a change agent.  Not one foreign policy mandarin suggested unleashing the entrepreneurial spirit of the American oil man in order to destroy our enemies' power over us permanently. It took a change agent. Not one State Department official questioned why the United States was still subsidizing Europe's generous socialist welfare system seventy years after WWII.  It took a change agent. Nobody wondered why we were enriching China at our own expense and preparing for a world where a communist dictator would lead.   It took Donald Trump.

Without worry or apology, Donald Trump stands before the world with a giant mirror, and the world does not like what it sees.  At a time when Western governments have found common cause with murderous dictators in demanding limits to free speech and free minds,Donald Trump goes to Poland and excoriates European socialism as the newest iteration of human bondage.  He celebrates the very Western civilization that the West now works to bury.  More than anyone on the world stage, he argues for individual freedom as the indispensable ingredient for civilization itself and free nations as the essential bulwark against international governance and tyranny.  In speech after speech across the globe, he stands alone and pushes back against the weight of history's currents.  

The world has noticed.  It is Donald Trump to whom Nigerian Christians turn for survival from Islamic terror. It is Donald Trump who has strengthened Israel by keeping promises his predecessors lacked the fortitude to see through.  It is Donald Trump whose name is often whispered by freedom-fighters in Venezuela , whose American flag is respected by regime protesters in Iran , and whose image is waved by thousands demanding freedom in Hong Kong. Nobody clamoring for freedom is waving pictures of Angela Merkel in the air, but in Hong Kong and Taiwan , a photo-shopped image of Donald Trump as Rocky Balboa is easy to find.  At a time when the German chancellor argues for limiting free expression, those people most desperate to escape China 's yoke see the American president as the only fighter who might help set them free.  He is our American president, but he belongs to the world now, too.

Because he is actively working to destroy entrenched ideas and institutions, his opposition is clear-eyed and equally aggressive  Rather than the traditional political tug-of-war that pits adverse interests against each other without significant movement toward any direction, President Trump as a world-historical driver of change is engaging in pitched battle with winner-takes-all stakes.  

Whether he ultimately succeeds in shifting various equilibriums is irrelevant to his role in history.  In victory or defeat, he represents a firm marker against which past and future events will be viewed.  What his fiercest adversaries are only now realizing is that Trump has shifted the trajectory of history permanently.  He is not operating on their terms; they are all actors in the Trump Era.How do you go up against an era?That's like going up against a season. Whether you like it or not, summer and winter are with us.  No wonder James Carville is afraid.

I posted this once before but believe it is worth re-posting:


TRUMP DOES THE UNTHINKABLE. 
by Liz Crokin

As an entertainment journalist, I've had the opportunity to observe Trump for over a decade, and in all my covering him I've never heard anything negative about the man until he announced he was running for president. Keep in mind, I got paid a lot of money to dig up dirt on celebrities like Trump for a living so a scandalous story on the famous billionaire could've potentially sold a lot of magazines and would've been a Huge feather in my cap.

Instead, I found that he doesn't drink alcohol or do drugs, he's a hardworking businessman. On top of that, he's one of the most generous celebrities in the world with a heart filled with more gold than his $100 million New York penthouse.

Since the media has failed so miserably at reporting the truth about Trump, I decided to put together some of the acts of kindness he's committed over three decades which has gone virtually unnoticed or fallen on deaf ears.

In 1986, Trump prevented the foreclosure of Annabell Hill's family farm after her husband committed suicide. Trump personally phoned down to the auction to stop the sale of her home and offered the widow money. Trump decided to take action after he saw Hill's pleas for help in news reports.

In 1988, a commercial airline refused to fly Andrew Ten, a sick Jewish child with a rare illness, across the country to get medical care because he had to travel with an elaborate life-support system. His grief-stricken parents contacted Trump for help and he didn't hesitate to send his own plane to take the child from Los Angeles to New York so he could get his treatment.

In 1991, 200 Marines who served in Operation Desert Storm spent time at Camp Lejune in North Carolina before they were scheduled to return home to their families. However, the Marines were told that a mistake had been made and an aircraft would not be able to take them home on their scheduled departure date. When Trump got wind of this, he sent his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami to safely return the Gulf War Marines to their loved ones.

In 1995, a motorist stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in got a flat tire. Trump asked the Good Samaritan how he could repay him for his help. All the man asked for was a bouquet of flowers for his wife. A few weeks later Trump sent the flowers with a note that read: We've paid off your mortgage.

In 1996, Trump filed a lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach , Florida, accusing the town of discriminating against his Mar-a-Lago resort club because it allowed Jews and blacks. Abraham Foxman, who as the Anti-Defamation League Director at the time, said Trump put the light on Palm Beach not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination. Foxman also noted that Trump's charge had a trickle-down effect because other clubs followed his lead and began admitting Jews and blacks.

In 2000, Maury Povich featured a little girl named Megan who struggled with Brittle Bone Disease on his show and Trump happened to be watching. Trump said the little girl's story and positive attitude touched his heart. So he contacted Maury and gifted the little girl and her family with a very generous check.

In 2008, after Jennifer Hudson's family members were tragically murdered in Chicago , Trump put the Oscar-winning actress and her family up at his Windy City hotel for free. In addition to that, Trump's security took extra measures to ensure Hudson and her family members were safe during such a difficult time.

In 2013, New York bus driver Darnell Barton spotted a woman close to the edge of a bridge staring at the traffic below as he drove by. He stopped the bus, got out and put his arm around the woman and saved her life by convincing her to not jump. When Trump heard about this story, he sent the hero bus driver a check simply because he believed his good deed deserved to be rewarded.

In 2014, Trump gave $25,000 to Sgt. Andrew Tamoressi after he spent seven months in a Mexican jail for accidentally crossing the US-Mexico border. President Barack Obama couldn't even be bothered to make one phone call to assist with the United States Marine's release; however, Trump opened his pocketbook to help this serviceman get back on his feet.

In 2016, Melissa Consin Young attended a Trump rally and tearfully thanked Trump for changing her life. She said she proudly stood on stage with Trump as Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005. However, years later she found herself struggling with an incurable illness and during her darkest days, she explained that she received a handwritten letter from Trump telling her she's the bravest woman, I know. She said the opportunities that she got from Trump and his organizations ultimately provided her Mexican-American son with a full-ride to college.

Lynne Patton, a black female executive for the Trump Organization, released a statement in 2016 defending her boss against accusations that he's a racist and a bigot. She tearfully revealed how she's struggled with substance abuse and addiction for years. Instead of kicking her to the curb, she said the Trump Organization and his entire family loyally stood by her through immensely difficult times.

Donald Trump's kindness knows no bounds and his generosity has and continues to touch the lives of people from every sex, race, and religion. When Trump sees someone in need, he wants to help.

Two decades ago, Oprah asked Trump in a TV interview if he'd ever run for president. He said: "If it got so bad, I would never want to rule it out totally because I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country.'"

That day has come. Trump sees that America is in need and he wants to help. How unthinkable! On the other hand, have you ever heard of Hillary or Obama ever doing such things with their own resources?
Now that's really unthinkable! Might be worth passing on!!!

Just shows we hired the right guy. If Hollywood , the liberals and the media ever STOP harassing him, Trump will have time to do many more positive things for our country....the good ole United States of America!!

PS ~ To those who are already Fact Checking, don't bother . . . already did it, and all the stories are TRUE!

The Liberal, progressive, socialists want to destroy this guy. .
And:

Recently a coalition of eight progressive groups sent an open letter to Biden informing him that the only way he’d get their support was to agree with these demands:

• Endorse the Green New Deal
• Medicare for All
• A 50% reduction in prison population
• A wealth tax
• Cancellation of student debt
• Free undergraduate tuition in public institutions
• Abolishing the filibuster
• Packing the Supreme Court
• Federal gun licensing
• Abortion subsidized by federal taxpayers

Their intention is to prevent Biden from pivoting back to the center to appeal to independent and moderate voters. A “return to normalcy” wouldn’t cut it; “Going back to the way things were ‘before Trump’ isn’t motivating enough to cast a ballot in November.”

The Democrats need party unity to defeat Trump and win in November. Will ideology matter more to these progressives……or party unity? Time will tell.

When this virus crisis is behind us we are must re-balance the equities or we will have lost a great bit of our individual freedoms to those who believe government should dominate.

The only reason we have big government is not so much out of need but because of the success of Americans who supplied the fertilizer, through taxation, and lost their will and understanding government exists to serve 'we the people.'

We may not have inflation initially because Americans have no income other than that to purchase basics but eventually, as the economy returns to a fuller employment status, inflation will occur because of all the money printed and it could be explosive.

Finally:

The beginning of social dysfunction by George Friedman:

The Beginning of Social Dysfunction

By George Friedman

A few weeks ago, I laid out a model for thinking about the coronavirus crisis. I argued that there were four structures operating: medical, economic, social and military, with the political structure attempting to coordinate all four while managing its own disorder. This is an American model, but it maps to other nations reasonably well. To this point, the medical structure has defined the basic framework. Having no vaccine to prevent the virus, nor proven medications for alleviating symptoms (I stay out of the chloroquine debate, lacking any right to an opinion), the only medical option was a social one: social distancing. Put differently, where quarantines were meant to create barriers to those who were ill with a disease, this was extended to everyone. In its most extreme form, this meant shelter in place: Stay home with your family and don’t venture out. Even the more moderate forms, such as putting six feet between yourself and others, were fairly radical. The medical solution created an economic crisis. Many cannot go to work. Shopping, eating out and other activities are limited. Unemployment soared, supply chains are strained, demand for goods and services has fallen. The political structure crafted strategies for mitigating the crisis, cushioning unemployment and preventing business failures with stimulus packages and so on. The amount of money committed is about 10 percent of U.S. gross national product, with the assurance that more will be committed. It is not clear that these economic events will cause economic failure, but it is clear that they will cause distortions in the economy on the order of the infusions. The economy will not function as it has before, and the distortion will not rapidly end. The social consequences are perhaps even more profound. At its core, the social is the family. The functioning of the family assumed that children would go to school, one or both parents would go to work, and all would have periods of being alone, or being in other places with other people. On the broadest level, the social is our mingling with strangers, from going to the movies, to standing in line and chatting, to discussing the purchase of a computer with a salesman. There are a billion kinds of social interactions, and each has its rituals. We know how to find a seat in a movie, and how to excuse ourselves as we pass by those already seated. We know how to appear amiable and unthreatening when standing in line. We understand the rituals when buying a computer, the carefully crafted pretense of knowing what you are talking about. Human beings mediate their relations with other people through rituals — sometimes called manners and sometimes having no name at all. We know the rituals in our home. We know what will make mom and dad sad, we know how to come to dinner, and we know when we may disappear into our rooms to chat online. When we look at social organization, the family, dysfunctional or robust, is the most intense experience we have, and that experience is filled with safety valves, ritualized opportunities to be free of the family. This may be school, work, parties, whatever. If social distancing and the economic crisis will have a social impact, it will be sensed first in the most delicate seismograph humans have: the home. Nowhere are the stresses so intense and continuous, nowhere are the safety valves so essential and rigidly prescribed. So when the medical structure requires that families dramatically alter their behavior, and the economic system generates such fear and uncertainty, the pressures are first felt in the family. Outside the family the pressures can be diffused, but now the family is the only sphere there is, and it becomes the sum of all fears, a place whose releases have been closed down. The social system, including the family, has endured through the first month of social separation quite well. Gallup polls show happiness and contentment at normal levels. But under the hood, we can see the first signs of dysfunction. The secretary-general of the United Nations, for example, has issued a warning that domestic violence is surging. There have been scattered reports coming in as well, from Italy to Ohio. Family violence, normally man against woman, secondarily either against children, is a constant reality. Individuals who are psychologically dysfunctional, and families that are fractured, cause a constant and predictable level of family violence. When violence surges globally, it is unlikely that the numbers are being cooked, and unlikely that the violence is coincidental. There are two forces at work. First, homes and apartments are frequently built with the expectation that a substantial amount of time will be spent outside. They are not designed for constant occupation by all. The pressure of 24-hour intimacy coupled with a situation that has no clear endpoint can create tension between even the most loving families. And many families are not particularly loving. These are the ones that explode first, most without violence, all with a high degree of rancor that can’t be escaped. In some cases both parents are home without work. The parents must finally face each other, along with their unruly children. The family explodes inside of walls from which there is no escape. Family violence is not the norm. It is simply the first statistically collectible indicator. Many or most families will accommodate with love. But some won’t. When I look at the pressure on our essential rituals, I note that Dr. Anthony Fauci has said that no one should shake hands now or ever again. It is common for male friends to hug. In Europe, when I greet a woman, I know I must kiss near the cheek but not quite on it. I always forget how many times — whether one or both sides, or even three times — I must kiss in each country. When I was young, a date ended in a kiss. When I was older, it could, with luck, end in more. Are all these rituals of our life, along with all other rituals of touching that I don’t at the moment remember, to be abolished along with the handshake? The job of the medical community is to protect our health and life. But health is not simply a matter of medicine. It is also a matter of enormously complex and individual rituals. Last week, Jews celebrated Passover, remembering how God freed them from slavery. On Sunday, Christians celebrated Easter. These are communal celebrations of families and congregants who speak, touch and hug. We are in an enormously difficult position. We cannot accept the death of fellow human beings who might be saved. We also cannot readily live with the restraints required to minimize those deaths. And we must calculate the suffering and death caused by economic depressions — a very real event. The obvious solution is medical — a medicine that will not require quarantine and will allow us to go back to work. Given the virulence of the virus, the problem is that even lifting the social distancing might allow a return of its spread. I suspect we could take a risk with a poorly proven drug more than we can endure the limited lives we lead. But that is a suspicion. The point is that family violence has surged and it has surged because of the measures we must take to prevent the spread of disease. The rise in family violence is real but not decisive. The other social breakdowns will happen as the economy fails and our lives become crippled. Then choices will have to be made. Perhaps Fauci and his colleagues will find a cure we can live with. I wish them all the best in their quest.

And: anti-Semitism in Huntsville, Alabama.


Huntsville is the home of NASA, Werner Von Braun and other scientists from Germany who relocated and helped our nation's space progress.

At a time when many of us were celebrating with family and community or preparing for other holidays, hate in the form of anitsemitism reared its head again in our community. On Wednesday and Thursday night—the first and second nights of Passover—two synagogues in Huntsville (Alabama) were vandalized with horrific antisemitic graffiti. Etz Chayim, the Conservative synagogue in Huntsville, had gross antisemitic language painted on several places of its exterior. We have spoken with Jewish community leadership and law enforcement authorities who think that it may have been strategically planned ahead of time, as the perpetrator was able to intentionally dodge most of the synagogue’s security cameras. The Chabad, a much smaller shul, was vandalized on Thursday night, and security footage captured a picture of the one individuals holding paint cans.

I have spoken to the Rabbi, several community leaders in Huntsville, and several law enforcement agents who are leading on this case. Here are some images of the damage. I hesitate to even share them, as they are strong, vicious and upsetting—but I also think it’s important to see what is out there, as we at ADL believe that sunlight is the strongest disinfectant. ADL is offering an additional reward for the capture of the perpetrators—see our press release here<https://click.adlmail.org/?qs=eb0d9780e6a2b9797e63982f44ca44fefcbdbf5a966972a6b55e1d20d7b70cb12f28064aee42a89eb270b05825e22f01edf96fe7b7a9c3b5> (and if you are on facebook and/or twitter, please share our posts/tweets to help spread the word). In talking with law enforcement, we think this could help motivate someone to come forward with crucial evidence and they were very appreciative.

But as is celebrated in Passover, through the darkness comes much light. 

The Jewish community in Huntsville has been completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and solidarity. The Mayor and city officials have reacted swiftly and powerfully, issuing a strong statement of solidarity and care<https://click.adlmail.org/?qs=eb0d9780e6a2b97994780a9893c5b9eadf4661c33b6de6fbf36272c894f26c9a6060487fb26ec26ef91c20bf9448218271a08e2afa64caf0> and being at the synagogues and with the community. Even more so, every church community has shown up and shown up big: they lent them equipment and supplies for cleaning the hatred off of their sacred space. Especially during the holy days when Jews do not work, they stepped in and cleaned the synagogue, restoring it to new. They have sent flowers and plants to bring life to the community. They have sent cards and notes of solidarity, including this beautiful note from a little girl.


The community is touched.

I don’t mean to trivialize or diminish the pain and hatred, and the anxiety that this potential hate crime has caused—especially during Passover and during the global pandemic, when anxieties are already high. But I think we don’t hear this part of the story enough, and in this case, it’s big and real. The Jewish community of Huntsville—and in these two congregations, it is a predominantly older population—is feeling like love wins, even as they are attacked.

I want to share these words from Etz Chayim’s head Rabbi, in an email he sent to a large group of community leaders:


My message to you is one of double isolation: I mean, we are all quarantined and isolated from each other because of Coronavirus, and I feel further isolated because I am 180 miles away from you.  This is a time that I would wish to be standing proudly at the front door of Etz Chayim.

The good part of all this, as many of you have pointed out, is that ministers and laypeople and the mayor have spoken forcefully and supportively on our behalf.  It’s too early to compose an informed analysis of this deplorable event.  But surely this is the long-term effect: We (Jews, Christians, and everyone else no matter what religion or non-religion) are all connected as a thriving and growing community in north Alabama.

Yes, we have doctrinal and ecclesiastical differences.  We have different ethnic backgrounds. We are of different shades of color along the racial spectrum.  All that, and very much more.
My opinion? — It’s fantastic!  That’s what makes American life interesting.  It’s also why America is a great nation.

There are always people who are bitter, who are insecure, who are jealous, who are evil.  We just read in the Haggadah, bechol dor va-dor omdim aleynu le-cha-lotenu, "in every generation there are those who rise up against us to destroy us."  All the leaders and sages of the past have not cured that twisted element of human nature.  We won’t solve it either.  But
that is not the primary message.

The primary message is that decent people understand our common humanity.  Fortunately, there are countless and boundless numbers of decent people all around us. The long-term effect?  Decency prevails.  Decent people prevail.  And we will be stronger and more decent because of it!

I close with one more quote from our Passover Haggadah: "We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt but now we are free.  And the more we work toward freedom (freedom from all the chains of fear and hate) the more beautiful this world will be."

Happy Pesach.  Stay strong!

Stephen Listfield

These past few days have reiterated why our work is so important: calling out antisemitism and hatred whenever it happens, and speaking up loudly and unequivocally in solidarity and love. This is the community that defines us.

Warmly,
Allison
