Another great video by @DaisyCousens

It brings up several crucial points.
@realDonaldTrump understands that there's nobody more devoted than a convert.

When Democrats criticize @kayleighmcenany for once opposing Trump it, rings hollows, since the Democrats change their positions faster than a trout flopping on the river bank.
As for McEnany latching on to Trump for fame and fortune, ask @GenFlynn about the price that Trump supporters pay.

Ask ME.

Ask Saul Montes-Bradley.

Saul and I have seen the elephant, so there's nothing anybody can do to us that will bend our will.
And while Saul has a family, his kids are going into the military.

You don't want to mess with them.

A person shouldn't have to arm themselves and their family just to support a president.

So the "grifting" argument holds no water.
If you REALLY want to grift, become a DEMOCRAT.

The laws don't matter, the press lies day and night on your behalf, and you get to amass a fortune.

One of my favorite films of all time is Falling Down.
It couldn't be made today.

Bill Foster is an "antihero."

This concept is now alien to most western cultures.

We KNOW FULL WELL that Foster is in the wrong, but root for him because the story telling is so good.
We don't support violence.

And we know that there's only one way that the story will end.

WE ARE ADULTS.

But Bill Foster tells his ex-wife something:
He's "past the point of no return."

That means that the distance to the starting point is now farther than the distance to the endpoint.

So he has no choice but to continue.
That's where the Democrats are.

Past the point of no return.

They can't pull back. It's balls to the wall until the end.

"Balls to the wall" is an aviation term.

Throttles that control speed once had ball handles.
The "wall" is the steel firewall that separates the cockpit from the engine in the nose.

To increase the speed, you move the throttles forward, toward the firewall.
Balls to the wall means shoving the throttles forward as hard and as fast as you can.

The Democrats are head for total destruction, balls to the wall.

Bill Foster in Falling Down planned to take his wife and child with him.

He knew it was wrong, but he refused to stop.
The mindset of the murderer who kills his family and then himself is clearly delineated:

Nothing is his fault, he never had a chance, everybody conspired against him, his family let him down AND knows his secrets, so they have to die.

And then HE dies to escape responsibility.
The balls-to-the-wall Democrats are pathological.

If we refuse to submit, then we have to die.

I have no doubt that Trump will easily win reelection, but if he DOESN'T, so be it.

Americans will pay for their stupidity.

But we aren't stupid.
Obama was an outlier because of his race.

Pure and simple.

Nobody holds him to the same standards to which they hold Trump, and they make up racist fantasies about him.

One of the most painful movie ever made is The Great White Hope.
The social commentary is too heavy handed to be effective.

What hakes it so painful is the collapse of the love between James Earl Jones and Jane Alexander.

He can't be reached. He internalizes the hate and takes it out on her.
You can't EVER internalize the hate.

General Joseph Stillwell tried desperately to defeat the Japanese in the China-Burma-India theater of war.
Although a four-star general, he wore the uniform of a private and engaged in combat with his men.

He was such a caustic man that he was known universally as "Vinegar Joe."
Stillwell fought corruption and incompetence from the Chinese, the US Army Air Force, and the British.

He disobeyed orders that would've needlessly cost the lives of his men.

Finally Chiang Kai-shek--who'd nearly lost the war--demanded that Stillwell be relived of command.
Although Roosevelt KNEW THAT STILLWELL WAS RIGHT, he fired him anyway.

Everyone hated Stillwell because he was fearless when it came to pointing out corruption and incompetence.

Stillwell predicted that he'd be fired, but his morality prevented him from shutting up.
Be Vinegar Joe.

Stand up for the truth and take your lumps.

The Japanese lost the war.

As they deserved to.
