No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light.

Jesus Christ Luke 7:16-17

One of the hardest things about writing occasionally instead of writing daily is that the Trump Administration moves at the speed of the Flash remembering that he forgot to buy his wife a anniversary gift 3 seconds before she opens the door to the house.

There has just been so many things going on so quickly and so decisively that you simply can’t keep up. If this was still a daily blog with multiple writers it would be a task, but now, what do you cover, what do you talk about?

  • Do you talk about the trade deals with Japan where Trump has apparently landed a trillion dollar deal for the US after one meeting?
  • Do you talk about the various Middle East states suddenly doing an about face on Gaza rebuilding etc after Trump talks about clearing out the Palestinians and the US taking over.
  • Do you talk about the 1000’s of federal workers who suddenly find them having to justify their jobs?
  • Do you talk about the Kennedy Center suddenly run directly by Trump and no longer hosting Drag shows?
  • Do you talk about Delaware once the state of choice for incorporation now having business’ flee and viola 15% of their base revenue goes up in smoke thanks to a liberal judge going after Musk?
  • Do you talk about dog and pony shows where people like Maxine Waters try to stage a news story and end up being revealed as the joke that they are?
  • Do you talk the Coast Guard cracking down o the beaches at San Diego and Pam Bondi cutting federal funds to sanctuary cities?
  • Do you talk the billions of federal dollars being releveled as a giant slush fund for the left going to everything from Black Lives Matter to the press whitewashing it?
  • Do you cover the NCAA dumping Transgenderism while places like Minnesota and California double down?

Well if I had to pick one thing I guess I’d pick something like this:

All of this has been going on for a very long time and a lot of people knew this was going on but pretended it didn’t in the same way that people in David’s court knew what was going on with Bathsheba the wife of Uriah the Hittite when Nathan told David.

Why have you spurned the LORD and done evil in his sight? You have cut down Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you took his wife as your own, and him you killed with the sword of the Ammonites.

Now, therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah to be your wife.’

Thus says the LORD: ‘I will bring evil upon you out of your own house. I will take your wives while you live to see it, and will give them to your neighbor. He shall lie with your wives in broad daylight.

You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'”

2 Samuel 12:9-12

For a long time these things were kept secret but now the graft that has been going on is revealed to the entire world and no amount of ignoring it by the MSM can stand when podcasters are discussing it openly with millions.

Put simply we are seeing our government in the light of truth and there are those who can’t stand it.

It’s going to be an amazing four years and my advice to the Trump administration is to stay on offense or as General Colt in Kelly’s Heroes said: attack Attack ATTACK!

Of course from what I’ve seen they don’t need my advice, expect that sooner or later they have to get to voter ID because until the elections are clean any budget that is clean up is only temporary.

The Simple Answer to Every Hit Piece on Trump’s Nominees

I must confess I don’t understand why we are not seeing the following argument coming out of every single spokesperson for the incoming administration:

Let me get this straight: The same media who told you inflation wasn’t an issue, the border was secure, that can’t define what a woman is, who told you that Joe Biden was sharp as a tack & insisted he wouldn’t pardon Hunter, that Kamala was Not Border Tsar & that she was going to win big…is spreading rumors about President-Elect Trump’s nominees, and you take them seriously? Why?

Until the new Senate is sworn in they should dismiss it all as fake stories from the fake news.

No charge.

Trump will be a great 70% President and That’s OK

Jon Sable: I get twenty five percent of anything I recover

Sherman: That’s kind of steep isn’t it?

Jon Sable: Depends on how you look at it. I figure 75% of something is better than 100% of nothing

I was talking to a friend yesterday about the election. This is the guy I mentioned before who had previously been NeverTrump but decided that he HAD to vote for him to punish the left for what the Department of Justice had done to him. There had to be consequences for such horrible behavior.

While he teased me about Matt Gaetz (who he thought was unqualified) and Pam Bondi ( who we both agreed was incredibly qualified) we found ourselves worried about one thing.

Conservatives in general and MAGA people in particularly have been rightly celebrating and some of the meltdowns we’ve seen have been really amusing, but when it comes down to it we have to acknowledge something that a few folks don’t want to hear:

While Donald Trump won 100% of the presidency the reason why he did is because the left was chasing voters away who weren’t 100% pure and Donald Trump welcomed them into the fold.

A lot of those people who joined with us will be expecting to get a portion of the spoils of victory which means there are going to be some people appointed to positions that I wouldn’t choose and some decisions made that I wouldn’t make but we’re likely going to get 70% of what we want. and that’s OK.

Or to put it another way. Would you complain if your Baseball, Football, Basketball or Hockey franchise managed a .700 winning percentage? You’d be tickled pink.

Now maybe over time we will convince them of the advantages of conservatism in both culture and economics and it may in fact be that we will be pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of some of their ideas toward the common good.

If we want to raise an objection here and there, that’s fine we should make the best case we can for what we believe, but in the end we’re not going to get a lot done if after winning a historic election we take the people who helped us to that victory and chase them back to where they were and remember in four years we won’t have Trump as a unifying force so we damn well better keep them as friends because we won’t want them as enemies in 2028.

Let’s leave the purity tests to the left, after all I already have a religion.

Trump’s Post Kasserine Administration

In Tunisia the Americans had to pay a stiff price for their experience, but it brought rich dividends.

Erwin Rommel

Because Donald Trump will now be serving a 2nd term I’m going to have to re-evaluate my ranking of him as president since there will be two terms to judge rather than one, but one of the best signs I’ve seen has been his ability to hit the ground running even before being sworn in.

Don Surber noticed the difference in speed and number of people who have been appointed to positions:

Make that 9. Just before my bedtime last night, The Calvin Coolidge Project tweeted, “President Trump has announced that Doug Burgum will be his Interior Secretary.”

At this point 8 years ago, Trump had appointed no one. He was waiting for recommendations from the Republican Establishment.

Donald Trump came into office having had to deal with various government agencies in his capacity as a businessman but had no clue as to how deep the deep state was. He was confident in himself but inexperienced so while he had a lot of success he made mistakes that his enemies were able to exploit

The most solid comparison would be to the US Army landing in Africa. Their first fight was the Battle of Kasserine Pass. Rommel took the inexperienced army and spanked them fairly well but they not only learned but resulted in a change of leadership. As the Encyclopedia Britannica notes:

Rommel, who at first scorned his untested American foe, had a different opinion of them at the end of the clash, later recording in his journal, “The tactical conduct of the enemy’s defense had been first class. They had recovered very quickly after the first shock and had soon succeeded in damming up our advance by grouping their reserves to defend the passes and other suitable points.”

The Battle of Kasserine Pass—more correctly stated, the operation, consisting of a series of battles—was a shock to the Americans, though it had little effect on the continuing advance on Tunis. But one final casualty was General Frendendall, who was replaced on March 6 by the considerably more aggressive Major General George S. Patton. Another outcome was a new combat doctrine promulgated by American commanding general Dwight D. Eisenhower, requiring all future land operations to be strongly supported by the Americans’ superior air forces.

This time around Trump has learned from his first term and has bypassed the deep state and the self serving “experts”. It appears he learned a lot more from his “defeat” than he learned from his initial victory.

Will this mean success for the country? I have faith, we will see.

Closing Thought: Faith isn’t believing in God’s existence, that’s is fact. Faith it believing that God knows what he’s doing even if he hasn’t told you.
