Quick Thoughts Under the Fedora: Imagine the Outcry Under Trump , Teddy Brewster Hardest Hit, A Bill Clinton Problem, Catholic Men’s Conference Francis to Disney+ and of Course.

According to a reporter to Today’s News Africa who is assigned the White House beat there is discrimination going on at the press briefings:

“They don’t take questions from any African journalists.”

Imagine the MSM outcry if this was said by a black African reporter under Trump or Bush.

This headline at Fox conserving Idaho is interesting

Idaho gov signs bill barring transgender students from using bathrooms consistent with their gender identity

Such a woke headline rather than pointing out that students will be forced to use bathrooms that correspond with reality.

Of the course the person hardest hit in Teddy Brewster whose family has been lobbying for a bill forcing people to salute in his presence and require them to address him as either “Mr President” or “Colonel”

One of the reasons why Donald Trump does not like the response of Ron DeSantis to the possibility of his indictment is it highlights something about the whole Trump/Daniels business. While the prosecution is clearly political, the “crime” at best a paperwork misdemeanor that the statute of limitations has passed on. A “crime” even the Justice department has passed on there is one adjective concerning the alleged affair and payoff of Ms. Daniels by Mr. Trump that is just as unapplicable to this case as it was concerning Bill Clinton’s visits to Jeffrey Epstein’s island.

“Unbelieveable”

It’s because it is so believable to the public that the left keeps bringing it up.

Of course folks like me lost the culture war where such a thing was disqualifying almost 30 years ago to the left so I find it very interesting that they suddenly think it beyond the pale.

Today I’ll be at Assumption College in Worcester attending the Catholic Men’s Conference at the WQPH booth. I’ll have copies of my book to sell and will be taking prayer requests from any who wish to make them.

Hope to see you there.

A topic that may or may not come up is the Pope’s special that will be on Disney+ addressing issue with young people.

If it was St. John Paul II or Benedict XVI I’d be excited but I shudder at what Francis might say. Of course if St. John Paul II or Benedict XVI was still pope Disney+ would have no interest in giving the Pope a platform.

Unexpectedly of course

Finally one slightly amusing oddity. I’m Car pooling to the Men’s Conference and am supposed to meet the folks I’m going with between 6:30 & 6:45 AM today.

As I normally get up at 7:30 or later and I had trouble getting to sleep last night so my wife set two alarms for 6 AM on her phone as we no longer have an alarm clock.

So naturally I woke at 5:10 with no problem and was unable to shut off said alarms to keep from waking her. Rest assured that if the Alarms were not set I would still be asleep now.

A Godsend for the Democrats

With the whole “Trump Indictment” business turning from a welcome distraction from bank failures, Ukraine failures and economic failures to an exercise if leftist incompetence the Democrat left needs some good news.

They’re about to get some:

Now in one respect this is good and Reade is pleased to have her day

Now you might consider it odd that I would describe this as a Godsend for Democrats but you forget something.

When this stuff first began to come out Joe Biden was both hiding in his basement and running for President against an incumbent Donald Trump, The last thing the left needed was anything resembling a credible case that their candidate for president sexually assaulted anybody.

But now Democrats are scared to death of Biden running for re-election and need an excuse, ANY excuse to nudge old Joe out of the race before the primaries. This is a problem because while not much is working upstairs for President Biden these days he does still remember where 50 years of bodies are buried so people aren’t anxious to go up against him.

This however is just the type of thing that can be used to make trouble and give people a face saving excuse to look elsewhere if the Democrats choose to use it.

Watch the media closely. How they react to this story when it happens will tell you if the decision to dump old joe has been made.

To protest or not to protest, that is the question

When I first heard the news from President Trump that he was soon going to be arrested, I was absolutely outraged.  I knew the fury I felt would be shared by the vast majority of Conservatives and Libertarians.  I knew that instant and widespread protest by us Trump supporters would be the most appropriate way to answer this injustice.  As you can see from this Townhall article, President Trump reached the same conclusion.

“NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD & FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK,” Trump said.  “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”

I was most disheartened when I saw the following statement by the new Speaker of the House of Representatives.  It is additional proof that Kevin McCarthy is not a Conservative.

My disappointment increased to an intolerable level when I saw this American Thinker article.

President Trump has stated that he will be arrested on Tuesday and we should all take to the streets.  Don’t do it!   Stay home, and let the lawyers handle it.  This is a set-up, just like January 6.  Don’t fall for it.  Don’t go anywhere near a federal building, don’t stand with groups of people you don’t know, and don’t send threatening emails.   Stay home, and let the lawyers deal with it.  President Trump has good lawyers, he has great lawyers…he even has had Alan Dershowitz as a lawyer.  Trials are meant to be won, by rich people.  President Trump is rich.  Let him fight his battle.  He has proven more than capable. 

It’s okay to be angry about things.  And we are supposed to have the right to protest peacefully.  However, they will sabotage that right.  They will inject fake bad actors for the express purpose of charging you with a crime. This will be an attempted Charlottesville and January 6 mass-arrest false flag operation.  Sometimes the best response is no response at all.

Both Speaker McCarthy and the author of the American Thinker article demonstrated remarkable cowardice.  Peaceful protest is not only our most effective weapon to fight tyranny, it is one of our most important God-given natural rights, one that has been enshrined in the First Amendment. To abandon that right just because the Left might attempt another false flag operation, such as January 6th, is unconscionable.  If Trump is arrested we must absolutely take to the streets in massive non-violent protest.  We must also be on our guard.  When the left does, in fact, try to entrap us again, we must expose the plot.

…But Trump Trumping Allen Bragg Highlights the argument in Favor of His Nomination. He Fights!

Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Lee is going to do. Some of you always seem to think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command, and try to think what we are going to do ourselves, instead of what Lee is going to do.

U.S Grant at the Battle of the Wilderness May 6th 1864

Yesterday I pointed out that the idea that DA Allen Bragg wants to indict Trump for political reasons is both:

  1. A travesty of justice and a threat to the republic
  2. Not an argument for voting for Trump vs a better possible candidate
  3. Has brought out some of the worst in his surrogates attacking not Bragg but possible primary opponents

Having said these things there is an excellent article at PJ media (I know that’s a redundant statement but I digress…) that points out how this entire business shows some of the best features of Trump when it comes to fighting against our political foes.

This is pure speculation, but does appear that the combination of Trump getting in front of the narrative and scrutiny from House Republicans gave Bragg a temporary case of cold feet. I do think that he has been dreaming about the perverse star turn he’ll get from indicting Trump for so long that he will eventually go through with it. When he does, Trump’s public relations machinations of the past week will probably make it backfire on Bragg even more than it would have if he’d had done it on Tuesday.

Trump has definitely had his “A” game going in this situation. That hasn’t always been the case in recent months (see: “DeSantimonius”). When he’s focused he can play PR chess better than anybody.

The reason why this is the case is something right out of one of my favorite books of all time Pratt’s Preble’s Boys where he notes the phrase: “Having decided on Battle”.

Rather than acting in fear of Bragg, the grand jury or the Soros Machine targeting him Trump choose to fight and “Having decided on battle” he like any good general decided to choose the terrain for what was coming.

In fact, Trump is so good at this that, at some point in the last few days, it almost seemed as if control of the situation shifted from Bragg to him. It was Trump, not Bragg’s office, who told the public that he would be arrested on Tuesday of this week. When that didn’t happen, it made Bragg look weak.

The fact that the grand jury wasn’t seated on Wednesday really made it seem as if Bragg was faltering

Personally my favorite bit was causing massive numbers of the press to rush out to cover protests that weren’t happening basically turning the press scrum into the Monty Python Wicker’s Island skit

And of course all of this gave time to his allies in the house to start bringing heat as well. and it produced this hilarious response from Chuck Schumer the Senator who represents Bragg in NY

And more importantly when Trump has been able to not only direct the flow and pace of the story but is able to highlight Bragg’s failures

On Wednesday morning, Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social that Bragg was having problems with the grand jury. “The Rogue prosecutor, who is having a hard time with the Grand Jury, especially after the powerful testimony against him by Felon Cohen’s highly respected former lawyer, is attempting to build a case that has NEVER BEEN BROUGHT BEFORE AND ACTUALLY, CAN’T BE BROUGHT,” he claimed. “If he spent this time, effort, and money on fighting VIOLENT CRIME, which is destroying NYC, our once beautiful and safe Manhattan, which has become an absolute HELLHOLE, would be a much better place to live!”

It’s worth noting that when he targets Bragg he (Trump) looks confident and unafraid and running the show because he know that left for what it is and more importantly is not afraid of them.

That’s the reason more than anything else why so many on the right love Trump and would be delighted to see him back in the White House

Closing thought:

Contrast his handling of Bragg & Company to his targeting of DeSantis which has a whiff of impotence about it as the Governor has brushed it aside. That’s the difference between fighting leftists without substance and fighting a conservative who has substance and knows it..
