Seeing all the massive amounts of tax money that has gone from the government straight into far-left Democrat organizations and to individuals makes us wonder how any Democrat ever LOST an election in the last 50 years. The institutional leverage the left has had — combined with unlimited cash — is a recipe for overcoming any and all opposition. But, they have not totally succeeded... YET!
It is seemingly impossible that Trump won a second term. It can only be explained by divine intervention. Never cease praying for God’s intervention in all of our lives and the daily tasks of governing our country.
Today, we are discussing….
making mistakes.
making air travel safer.
making everyone happier.
making everyone more free.
making us laugh.

1- No doubt you have heard the hullabaloo about a “journalist” who was inadvertently added to a private communication with Administration officials and Cabinet members. The Democrats/Fake News jumped on this as evidence of the end of everything we know. It does seem now to have been a rookie mistake, as it gives the left something to yammer about ...other than their own sinking popularity.
Here is the big picture. Mistakes will be made. We have humans working to upend a world of war, corruption and graft. They will not do everything perfect. We should never expect that of them. We need to give them grace, encouragement and positive feedback when they start running off the road. We all learn from making mistakes. The key is to recognize them and keep moving forward solving problems.
We thought this commentary by Tucker Carlson was a good point of view.
Since this is behind a paywall, we are running it in full.
Even in Private, JD Vance Puts America First
A key detail from Atlantic Magazine’s story on the Trump administration accidentally leaking its plans to bomb Yemen is being overlooked.
QUOTE: In case you haven’t seen the report, administration officials accidentally included Atlantic’s editor-in-chief in a Signal chat dedicated to discussing this month’s airstrikes in Yemen. This gave the journalist unprecedented access to the government’s process that led to the attacks, pulling back the curtain on what America’s most powerful figures are really like behind closed doors.
The chat included well-known power players like Pete Hegseth, Mike Waltz, Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Tulsi Gabbard, and yes, Vice President Vance. It reveals why Vance was such an excellent choice to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.
“Team, I am out for the day doing an economic event in Michigan. But I think we are making a mistake,” he messaged in response to the group’s gung-ho sentiments about launching the strikes. “3 percent of US trade runs through the [Suez Canal]. 40 percent of European trade does. There is a real risk that the public doesn’t understand this or why it’s necessary. The strongest reason to do this is, as POTUS said, to send a message.”
Vance also argued for delaying the attacks for a month and lamented the fact that, as usual, America was doing Europe’s dirty work for them.
“I just hate bailing Europe out again,” he added a few minutes later.
Let’s take a step back. Yes, the Vice President’s hesitations may seem insignificant because the strikes wound up happening anyway. But they’re not.
Firstly, the dialogue shows that real, substantive policy debates are happening inside the administration. Its highest members are not afraid to spar with one another over issues that matter. The chat was not an echo chamber. Dissent is allowed.
Even more importantly, the messages reinforce the fact that the Vice President and likely future commander-in-chief is genuinely wired to want to avoid American interventionism rather than recklessly drop bombs all around the world to flex his manhood like so many of his predecessors. That doesn’t mean the Yemen strikes were examples of such recklessness. It shows that Vance’s antennas were up to make sure they weren’t and that his anti-war messaging isn’t just a public front.
Imagine what would have happened if previous Republican VPs currently held the post. Would Mike Pence have pushed back against the strikes? Please. Dick Cheney? He probably would have been furious they hadn’t happened already. But not Vance.
America could have avoided its disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan if the Vice President’s kind of thinking was present inside the Bush administration. The same goes for Korea and Vietnam. As the world plunges deeper into its nuclear era, it’s a relief to know Vance is where he is. He may wind up saving us all.
PRAY for divine intervention in all matter personal and political.
PRAY for everyone working in the Trump Administration.
SHARE the truth.
