The recent attacks on Minnesota congressmen and women have brought a fresh clamor “protect me” from the 535 legislators perched on Capitol Hill.
The America First movement expresses the wishes of all 35M+ citizens and lawful guests of the United States, equal rights and equal protection under the law.
The irony that cannot be ignored by politicians establishing unlawful sanctuaries within the boundaries of our nation is not lost on American citizens that for the past several years politicians have focused on the “rights” of others before the rights, safety and security of our own citizens.
While nobody is talking about the United Nations 2030 agenda of a world without borders and everybody has the right to be treated humanely. They not talking about the basic right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness expressed in our nation’s founding documents or there would be no tolerance of abortion. There is no talk on the constitutional right to own and bear arms that insures every American citizen the ability for self-protection or the defense of others from criminal intent on causing death or destruction. What about migrants seeking asylum from gangs and criminals in their home countries? Do they not seek refuge in our country and our laws to protect them?
It is the duty and responsibility of congress to create or amend laws signed by the president so that our federal agencies can remove everyone who breaks US immigration laws in order to enter our country and are therefore subject to deportation, beginning with those committing criminal acts after coming here illegally, or with extradition orders from another country and then those who unlawfully remain here.
We the people have a responsibility to honor our nation’s laws, each other and those who come here for a fresh, new start. When we are seen as equals in the eyes of God, should we not be seen the same way in the eyes of man? – RTM
I find it fitting that California’s political leaders have continually come out against President Trump while their citizens were literally fighting for their lives figuratively, politically and in actuality.
It wasn’t that long ago that while Los Angeles burned, Mayor Karen Bass was lollygagging in Africa and Governor Gavin Newsome appeared to be begging President Trump at the foot of the walkway from Air Force One. Four months later little has been done in the way of rebuilding the burned out areas.
Now in the face of prolonged attacks in the downtown area of Los Angeles where law enforcement overwhelmed begged their governmental leaders for help, Help received from a most unexpected and unlikely source – President Trump, activating the California National Guard, amid the protests of Governor Newsome and Mayor Bass. While at the same time I seem to remember Newsome calling for more federal resources to replenish those wasted on illegals across the state.
The fictional phrase ‘Fiddling while Rome burns’ referring to Nero being occupied by unimportant matters while neglecting priorities during a crisis since there was no such instrument as a fiddle back then and Nero would most likely have been playing the lyre, seems most appropriate here as quite literally speaking both Bass and Newsome play the liars very well.
America’s political climate today is such that while President Trump is pushing his America First agenda forces on the left are encouraging and funding their America Last agenda. Take the Army’s 250th Anniversary celebration in Washington, D.C. while Americans celebrated those members in army green, across the nation Los Angeles, California was under siege by an organized domestic terrorist campaign right under the very eyes of Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsome.
My question for every California politician, “What have you done to stop the chaos?” Either you are on the side of American citizens (voters) or you are not. Protect the constitutional rights of your constituents and all of our countries citizens or get out of the political business altogether. California voters must reevaluate their political priorities and stop voting for “same o’ same o’” Not only listen to those political ads, but dig in to find the track record of every candidate. If they do you no good, they are doing you great harm.
California must lead the way and stop the madness. – RTM
Patriotism, Pride, Heroism, Sacrifice, Service, Hope and Gratitude (coined by Fox News)
Yesterday was an over the top by all measurable standards historic occasion the likes of which we haven’t seen publicly in our nation’s capital since 1992. I was appropriately the brainchild of President Donald J. Trump and coincidently fell on his 79th birthday.
Happy Birthday Mr. President and thank you for thinking of our army men and women in uniform stationed around the world! I can’t think of a better way to bring patriotism and unity to a nation torn asunder by the nationwide chaos produced and exploited politically by a democratic left who try to make patriotism seem to be what it is not: anti-American.
It was heartening to see our nation’s history paraded before us as soldiers presented periodic historical snapshots brought to life before our very eyes. Showing the world the U.S. A’s. commitment to world peace through strength (the army way) was brilliant.
“If you threaten the American people our soldiers are coming for you, your defeat will be certain, your demise is final and your downfall will be total and complete. Our soldiers will never surrender. They will Fight, Fight, Fight!” – President Donald J. Trump
Take heart Governor Newsome and every political naysayer attempting to cast a negative spin on this occasion as you do absolutely nothing to stop the rioting your sanctuary cities, states and across the nation, you did not hear, nor do you care that this message of warning is for you too!
My generation of warriors came home to an ungrateful nation and the stigma remains.
Yesterday our nation welcomed our warriors, while battling those ungrateful yet “mostly peaceful” rioters, looters and vandals with an estimated $134 M privately funded parade.
Those who can do; those who can’t hurl democratic insults (sticks and stones stuff).
My ancestors of the “Clan Gunn” immigrated from Northern Ireland with the motto “aut pax aut bellum” (either peace or war).
It’s day four and Los Angeles is still under siege by radical domestic terrorists being called “mostly peaceful” by democratic politicians at every local, state and federal level.
What must be addressed are those terrorist “protesters” who are absolutely non-peaceful.
Without going into repeating details about why deportations are being done, starting with the violent criminal migrants and ending with every single illegal alien that has come across our border as an undocumented migrant, everyone who broke US immigration laws are eligible to be deported back to their country of origin.
Anyone who aided and abetted illegals or hindered US immigration and customs enforcement or other federal agents is subject to arrest and prosecution.
As for the physically violent protesters, those caught in the act (physically or on camera) should be hunted down (J6 style) and brought before federal judges in the city, county or state of their violent offense, beginning with ringleaders, financiers and everyone involved in obtaining, transporting and using objects used against law enforcement.
With all of the big brother cameras, police presence (air, ground and sea) it should be easy to spot a semi-truck loading, transporting or unloading palletized material being staged throughout the city proper. It should also be easy for law enforcement, city, county or state employees to stakeout, confiscate, remove or relocate such prepositioned supplies to be placed under law enforcement control.
As for city councils, mayors or governors who choose or fail to take appropriate action to protect the citizens of their jurisdictions against violent criminal, they must be held accountable for their actions or failure to take action.
How hard is it to obey federal law especially when it trumps state and local sanctioned lawlessness or face the consequences for not doing their constitutional duty?

After 9 years cancer free my youngest daughter had a tumor removed from the right side of her chest. When she went to see her surgeon she received bad news, she had an aggressive form of cancer. As she began processing this devastating news I told her that nothing had changed because God has this, as he has before her surgery – nothing is impossible with God.
I took her to get a PET scan at a local hospital.
I notified our church prayer chain, my brothers, an aunt and a cousin to pray.
I followed by praying specifically “commanding the cancer to leave her body and go back to where it came from. I then asked God to give her strength and His peace and to guide the medical team that treats her. In Jesus name Amen.”
As she prepared to see the doctor and receive the PET scan results said that no matter what news she received she was going to fight and not give up. She went in for the radiology consultation briefing of the PET scan results and the doctors said they saw no cancer, just a problematic lymph node in that same area and they will begin treatment with radiation therapy over a 6 week period. The doctor said her overall prognosis is “curable” but had no idea what happened to the cancer.
Praise God!
I know and now you know that God is the God of Impossible.
We thank God for this miraculous healing and ask for continued prayer for further healing as she prepares for this upcoming radiation treatment regimen. I thank each of you who have joined in prayer and ask for your continuation in prayer as she prepares to undergo 6 weeks of Radiation Therapy to address questionable lymph nodes.
Our faith is fully in God and His will in this situation.
We are reminded that because God is, He hears and answers our prayers. We are to pray expecting God to answer and then we accept His answer, whether we understand it or not.
God’s ways are higher than the ways of man.
Isaiah 55:8-9 ESV
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Stuff doesn’t just happen!
Everything is life should teach us to trust not in ourselves or others, but Trust in God so as to bring glory to Him. – RTM
It could be characterized as a battle between the two most hated men in American politics, but could it be wrong? President Trump has often said that “they” are after you, but I’m standing in the way.
After Elon Musk put himself behind the DOGE effort to cut the fraud, waste and abuse in government many on the left said he was hated more than Trump. Those “spontaneous” Tesla fires and vandalisms because Musk’s name was synonymous with Tesla put him squarely in the crosshairs of leftist’s domestic terrorists and the stock market began fluxuating as a result.
In the beginning DOGE had a predetermined exit date in July 2026, but the early exit of Elon caused widespread speculation of whether it was also the early end of DOGE.
As of today the left is still using Lawfare against Trump and his administration in an effort to stop the DOJ and State Department’s massive deportation of illegal, undocumented and visa overstays beginning with violent criminal migrants.
With Trump’s claim of a 99.999% closed border, with more wall construction to come. Not to mention Trump’s failure to bring a lasting ceasefire to the Russia – Ukraine and the Israel – Gaza conflicts something had to be done to “take the heat off” so to speak and to restore Elon Musk and his enterprises back to their normal pre-Trump (DOGE) good graces in the eyes of the public.
That brings us to the present day Musk – Trump feud on social media’s “X” and/or Trump Social where the mudslinging appears to have begun. Musk say’s something, Trump responds and goes further, Musk says more and Trump responds with more, and so the ball bounces. The leftist media is eating it all up like cops at a doughnut shop (pun intended – I like cops and doughnuts).
I remember that Trump once said “good or bad, publicity is publicity and it’s better if I don’t have to pay for it” (loosely paraphrased).
What if this is all a publicity stunt created by Chinese AI or for America’s fake news?
In recent days, weeks and months after the inauguration of President Donald Trump as POTUS #47 the unmasking of Joe Biden’s presidency is calling into question why republicans keep talking about him. He’s no longer president and we should just move along toward the midterm and 2028 elections.
Some democrats still say that Biden was sharp as a tack, at the top of his game or in the words of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer “He’s a sharp as he’s ever been” (paraphrased). I get no warm and fuzzy feeling of confidence in Schumer’s statement.
There was a reason that President Barack Obama kept VP Biden on a short political leash. His feet were always finding ways into his mouth. As president it was more of the same with the exception that Biden thought he was better than Trump and then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi played along with that idea.
In truth throughout Trump’s first presidency #45 all the focus was on discrediting him in order to get Trump out of office because he was uncontrollable by traditional political means. There was a constant push to get VP Pence to enact the 25th Amendment to oust Trump because he was not fit to serve as president. Then it was impeach Trump, not once, but twice to get him removed from office. There were efforts in the House to withdraw Trump’s former presidential privileges. And then there was January 6th that would surely get Trump out of the political picture once and for all.
Everyone forgot that during the DNC presidential debates both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came out LAST by all counts. They were at each other’s throats telling how un-presidential the other was.
After the 2020 election it was Biden who called himself the president-elect even before there was an Electoral College formal certification on January 6th. Biden’s repeated calls for Trump to concede the election were ignored.
After being inaugurated in 2021 America saw the creation of the Biden/Harris Administration. Where by her own admission Harris said she was in the room for every major decision made. There were many bad decisions that proved two democratic heads were not better than one. The constant theme circulating from the White House and from Congress was Trump is bad and those who voted for him were bad people too.
It wasn’t lost on Americans or around the world that Joe Biden went into mental decline and instead of taking charge, activating the 25th Amendment as they should have done, the presidential staff, the Vice President and both chambers of Congress DID NOTHING!
It was a lost opportunity for VP Kamala Harris to become the first woman President and for House Speaker Pelosi to become Vice President and following the democratic pattern of double dealing, Pelosi could have called on the 25th Amendment to cement herself as Harris replacement in the White House.
As it stands even now, there was no personal, professional or political accountability among the thieves of the Democratic Party. The route taken was to force an ailing Joe Biden to withdraw from his fantasy of a second term, and put all their effort behind propping up Harris to defeat Trump in 2024. The democrats were doomed to failure from the start.
It is important that the American people see crooked politicians being held accountable for their dishonest actions, on and off the political playing field.
There are too many questionable actions that demand accountability. Many may be too treasonous to let slide. Biden’s open border policy; national defense; foreign affairs; domestic; economy; Hunter’s laptop; drugs into the White House and more likely on Air Force One or Two call into question who’s running the store? The autopen episode(s) did Biden know and approve of it being used?
Even more questionable is how inefficient, fraudulent and mismanaged the government has been operating for decades by politicians with no real common or business sense, like a train being run at full throttle towards an immovable object with nobody at the controls (checks and balances).
Now that Trump is doing a national emergency coarse correction those resisting are attempting to seal their own fate, and the fate of millions of Americans.
Rather than becoming the solution they are satisfied in being the problem, while blaming everyone but themselves. – RTM
The rage from left leaning institutions of higher learning is that for the Trump Administration to cut off funding and/or to stop issuing student visas to their school is a violation of their 1st Amendment rights.
That argument came from the prestigious Harvard (where they teach law) in their lawsuit against the Trump Administration who argue they are unable to teach without government interference.
I seem to recall other institutions refuse government money for exactly the same reason.
It would appear that although these prestigious institutions have $B endowments that they use as they please, they still feel entitled to government funds yet don’t want to submit to government oversight. When students suffer due to institutional malfeasance or lack of corporate intestinal fortitude don’t blame the government, blame institutional leadership.
The blame clearly falls on the institutional leaders, faculty and staff for allowing this behavior in the first place. If they are unable to teach with funds they already have, then maybe they should obey the law they teach by not allowing indoctrination, intimidation, fear mongering and violence on their campuses or “see the light” and just resign?
Besides the Rights guaranteed by the US Constitution are for US Citizens, not institutions or government agencies. – RTM
I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner but I know why the democratic run against Trump in 2024 failed. Dems across the nation have been taken aback by the amount of Americans have jumped onboard the MAGA train and are abhorred that they have nothing to counter Trump’s America First movement.
I have decided to give the Dems a movement they can be proud of called the Donald Trump Resistance Movement (DTRM). It is a totally opposite, yet nowhere equal in that once his second term is over, MAGA will continue forward and like all established democratic ideas, movements and inspirations the DTRM will die a slow death, like a fish out of water.
Over the past decade we have watched as Dems have fought tooth and nail to prevent both Trump presidencies (#45 & #47), they now brag and joke about impeaching, convicting and basically doing any and everything they can (unsuccessfully I might add) to make him fail, because when Trump fails Dems win, right?
Under the Biden (#46) presidency we have seen the Congressional Medal of Freedom handed out like candy to people who should have been behind bars for their official acts, or those who were recognized for doing nothing at all. We watched as president auto-pen granted pardons to Biden family members and former administration officials not because of the dishonest acts they performed, but because Trump’s administration “might” go after them (secret hit list). We have watched the weaponizaton of government go after Trump associates not because of wrongdoings but because they were Trump associates. How can we not remember the 20M undocumented illegal migrants (invaders) who were BROUGHT into or facilitated into the interior of the United States as Biden sought to further a United Nations 2030 Agenda to permanently open America’s borders. We saw America go “woke” as “equality for all” became the goal. American “sanctuary” cities and states put handcuffs on law enforcement by defunding, or selective enforcement of local, state and federal law allowing catch and release of some very serious criminals. The entire world saw the “Slumberer-in-Chief” spend 4-years in seclusion as the world continued on and neither Vice President Harris, members of the Biden cabinet or members of the Democratic led congress took appropriate action to call on the 25th Amendment for the sake of the nation, the party or the presidency. The unity call before, during and after the 2024 election by the Dems has always been “Beat Trump” and the VP’s answer to Trumps America First agenda is to “not look behind, but gaze ahead at what might be” only offering nothing concrete.
So it is most appropriate for a movement that Dems can grab hold of and hoist the DTRM banner of resistance as the sand beneath their feet is undoubtedly quicksand. – RTM
The democrats at the DNC headquarters had this idea to fly an airplane pulling a “Qatar-a-Lago” banner over President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. (Would that congressional democrats work so hard FOR average everyday Americans instead of crap like this).
This is one more move intended to criticize President Trump, but this time for accepting a $400B state of the art jet airliner on behalf of the United States. Arguments against a US president flying in a foreign airplane did not take into consideration that Boeing built this aircraft for Qatar Airlines. When asked by a fake news journalist President Trump told her you don’t refuse a gift.
Although funny in the sense it’s another way of donating free publicity to Trump in a way that will have a massive impact for President Trump after leaving office in 4 years.
Think Trump’s one big beautiful Presidential Library (yet to be built) that would have to be big enough for Trump’s Big Beautiful Airplane gift? Maybe by 2029 “Alligator Alcatraz” with an existing airport runway capable of landing a Boeing 747 could be repurposed?
By law the president cannot accept gifts, so they are to be placed in his presidential library.
Any updates on Obama’s presidential library in Chicago? (I hear Trump knows a guy!) – RTM
