This speaks for itself.

With what is probably the largest crowd in history on hand at any Presidential campaign stop ever, President Trump kicked off his re-election campaign in Orlando on Tuesday. More than 100,000 people showed up. Most of them knew they would not be able to get into the Amway Center. They showed up anyway. Why? Because PDJT shows up for us and doesn’t back down.

An interesting dynamic is playing out in Hong Kong. Protests broke out a week ago over a proposed law that Carrie Lam, Hong Kong’s first female chief executive, supports. The law would allow extradition of Hong Kongers to mainland China.

Hoping For A Long Gov’t Shutdown

The government shutdown continues. I, for one, hope that it continues for a long time. A few years back, Washington was shut down for a week due to a blizzard. Nobody noticed. Not that I wish difficulties for those not receiving a paycheck. I certainly empathize with those families who must make difficult financial decisions. Rather a long shutdown would demonstrate what services we really need from the Federal Government and what we do not need. It would show everyone just how bloated the government is. I wonder if the left realizes what might happen if the shutdown lasts a long time. ...
