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.
The common people of this country have awakened to the absolute corruption that infests Washington. They are saying that enough is enough.
As noted yesterday, Asia, specifically China, is providing some interesting bits of news this week. On Sunday some 2 million Hong Kongers protested in the streets over China’s attempt to subvert their rights within their legal justice system. Carrie Lam, Hong Kong’s chief executive officer, may have been the target of their immediate anger. However, clearly China is their concern.
The heavy-handed response by Lam, rubber bullets and tear gas, against protesters who were peaceful has brought at least silent condemnation from most of the civilized world. This was no UC-Berkley protest. There were no fires in the streets. There were no broken windows. There was no looting. Emergency vehicles that needed to get through were allowed to pass. There were more than 70 injuries from the police response.
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.
Please note the use of the term Hong Kongers. Although mostly descended from ethnic Chinese, the vast majority of the residents of Hong Kong do not consider themselves to be Chinese. Hong Kong has had long experience (150 years) with Western rule-of-law concepts. Additionally over 3 million people fled communist China in 1949 to the safety and freedom of Hong Kong. Hong Kongers are not conditioned culturally, as many of those on the mainland are, to the acceptance of totalitarian forms of governance.
Per our founding documents, the right to own a firearm is a codified right. So, should the government pay for guns? It is in the Constitution…but something tells us that the leftists will stop caring at that point. Enjoy your Saturday.

This week Chairman Nadler of the House Judiciary Committee opened impeachment hearings into PDJT’s conduct as President. The fact that the entire Russia conspiracy investigation was without predication does not seem to bother the Chairman. In order to “educate” the public and to cover up the malfeasance of the Obama administration, Nadler brought in convicted felon John Dean to give the public some historical context from the Watergate years.
The outcome of the Mueller investigation was that PDJT and his campaign were cleared of any criminal wrongdoing. This covered the campaign and PDJT’s subsequent actions as President. Of course, this infuriated the Democrats who will stoop to anything to oust Trump from the Presidency.
The Democrats have been trying to re-litigate the whole investigation. In order to smear the President, they called in John Dean as the ghost of Watergate past to cast aspirations on PDJT. Dean, who was White House counsel for President Nixon during the Watergate era, drew “parallels” between the scandal that led to President Nixon’s resignation and special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of the hoax that was the Russian government ties to the campaign of President Donald Trump.
A good question. Just why do the Democrats oppose saving American lives? It couldn’t have anything to do with adding illegal aliens to the voter rolls, could it?
On Monday, under the auspices of Chairman Nadler, the House Judiciary Committee began impeachment proceedings against PDJT. The committee session is called Lessons from the Mueller Report: Presidential Obstruction and Other Crimes.
