Trump And The Illustrious Legacy Of Old Ironsides

The following excellent commentary was posted by Michael Smith on facebook and is reposted here. We commend it to you!

President Trump’s State of the Union speech was an example of the change in our culture I have been feeling and what I wrote about yesterday in my essay titled “Feelings, Nothing More Than Feelings.”

Last night’s SOTU was one of the most FU, in your face, muscular, masculine, sit down and STFU addresses I have heard in years, and while it wasn’t as eloquent or polished as JD’s speeches in Europe or Rubio’s NATO address, it was tailored in bespoke Trumpian fashion to embarrass the seditious, put our domestic enemies on notice, and force them out into the spotlight.

It was a truly patriotic and America First night.

As the evening progressed, I recalled how it unfurled in a like manner to how the USS Constitution got the nickname “Old Ironsides” in an engagement with the British HMS Guerriere. During the fight, much of Guerriere’s shots rebounded harmlessly off Constitution’s hull. An American sailor reportedly exclaimed “Huzzah! Her sides are made of iron!” and Constitution acquired the nickname “Old Ironsides”.

Vance’s and Rubio’s addresses were surgical strikes, but as the Democrats’ opened up and the “Fuck ICE” and Epstein cannonballs bounced off his vessel’s thick oaken hull, Captain Trump tacked his version of Old Ironsides abeam of the Democrat’s flagship and opened up with every 22 and 34 pounder aboard in a full double-loaded broadside cannonade of grape and round shot that ripped sails and rigging, splintered masts, separated plank from nail, and punched holes in their hull.

The remaining Democrats were out maneuvered and outgunned, having lost about a third of their crew due to deserters fleeing from what they expected would be a defeat, could not avoid the grappling hooks, the pikes and cutlasses, or the boarding and subsequent scuttling and burning of their flagship, the Sandy Cortez.

Rarely do we see a president push back in such a direct attack, dismissing fools, traitors and their accomplices. The intransigence of Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib left no doubt about the existence of the anti-American cabal within the Democrat Party and the absence of so many of their other loudmouth, lying cowards highlighted just how hollow and empty this party has become.

The skirmish begins earlier in the day when effete and comical social media “influencers” and alleged “news” outlets began to publish articles critical of the US Hockey team’s gold medal win, their visit to the White House and their lack of embarrassment at their victory. One “influencer” I saw said she wasn’t going to celebrate because the men’s team “wasn’t diverse enough” and others suggested we weren’t contrite and apologetic enough toward our northern neighbors, whom we defeated to take the gold.

The incessant whining of the Canucks about them really being the better team even though they came up silver didn’t help their cause.

In the words of Ricky Bobby’s daddy, Reese Bobby, “If you ain't first, you're last.”

On the four year delayed Epstein panic, NPR breathlessly reported on a debunked decade old story about Trump sexually abusing and then threatening an underage female, rehashing a story from a mentally disturbed woman who had no proof and had to voluntarily withdraw her lawsuit against Epstein—but I’m sure that had nothing to do with the timing of the SOTU and the fact that, after years of promises and threats, NPR and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting lost its federal funding.

The battle was over the moment the Democrats did not stand to signify their allegiance to the American citizen over their lurid embrace of illegal aliens. At that moment they displayed, on national television, their hate of America. No matter how many times they wrap themselves in our flag and Constitution, their traitorous intent is now forevermore clearly recorded.

President Trump walked the entire Democrat Party up to that line and gave them the chance to step back and instead, they stepped over to the other side.

For those in Rio Linda, that means the battle lines were drawn in thick black ink last night and now there is no question who stands on which side. There is no excuse for not knowing where you stand.

Change is coming.

As the President said, there is more winning on the way.

Second place is the first loser.

Astounding Figures For The President This AM!

 

And Yet ANOTHER Compelling Reason!

 

Now The Contrast Could Not Be More Clear!

 Imagine refusing to stand for:

- Americans over illegals - Voter ID - Lowest murder rate in 125 years - Ending fraud & waste - Angel families - Tough-on-crime policies - No tax on tips, overtime, or Social Security - Crushing fentanyl - A Secure border

That’s exactly what Democrats refused to stand for last night. Tells you everything!

The Video Of The Moment Right Now!

🚨NEW: The White House just released an absolutely BADASS video of Team USA Men’s Hockey visiting President Trump after bringing home the GOLD!

A Powerful Speech Of Renewal And Resolve!

Last night, President Donald J. Trump delivered a historic State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress — proudly declaring the dawn of a new Golden Age after just one year of transformative leadership in his second term. In a powerful speech, President Trump highlighted unprecedented accomplishments: a fully secure border, plummeting inflation, falling gas prices and crime rates, surging stock markets and 401(k)s, massive tax relief for working Americans, and bold actions to restore peace through strength abroad.

This was a speech of renewal and resolve — yet congressional Democrats, consumed by delusional hatred and obstruction, refused to join in celebrating these victories for the American people.
 
Tonight, Democrats refused to applaud:

• Reaffirming “the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
• The grieving families of innocent American women and children murdered by criminal illegal aliens — including the mother of Iryna Zarutska, a North Carolina woman savagely killed on public transit by an illegal alien monster.
• Securing our homeland and finally ending the invasion of savage criminal illegal aliens — killers, rapists, gang members, and traffickers — with the strongest, most secure border in American history.
• Prioritizing American citizens over illegal aliens.
• Unifying against political violence.
• Inflation finally subsiding after years of Democrat-driven price shocks that crushed working families.
• Keeping violent criminals locked up.
• Lower prescription drug prices for millions of Americans.
• The decisive military action that brought indicted narcoterrorist Nicolás Maduro to justice, crippling drug cartels and liberating our hemisphere from vicious narcotrafficking terrorists.
• Protecting minor children from the horrors of irreversible sex changes.
• Gas prices dropping to multi-year lows, putting money back in Americans’ pockets.
• Law enforcement officers being respected once again after years of vilification.
• The financial futures of millions of American newborns through Trump Accounts.
• Protecting the integrity of our elections by preventing illegal aliens from undermining our democracy.
• Banning large corporations from scooping up single-family homes, ensuring they remain available for working Americans.
• Ending widespread fraud schemes — like the $19 billion Somali fraud scandal that burdened Minnesota taxpayers.
• Warrior Dividends for our great military heroes.
• Reducing the flow of deadly fentanyl across our border by a record 56% in one year.
• The single largest drop in the murder rate in 125 years, making our streets safer.
• Explosive growth in retirement accounts and 401(k)s for millions of hardworking Americans.
• Landmark tax relief through the Working Families Tax Cuts Act: No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, No Tax on Social Security, and more historic savings.
• A World War II hero who helped liberate the largest internment camp in the Philippines.
• Ending eight wars and delivering peace through unmatched American strength.
• America’s military might restoring respect and fear among our adversaries.
• Massive economic growth.
• Total victory over terrorists abroad. 

President Trump has proven what is possible when America puts its own citizens first — and Democrats clearly disagree.

Yes, It Was TRiUMPhant! Here's Why . . .

Watching the president’s State of the Union address last night, I was once again impressed by three important factors:

1. The president’s definitive command of the spoken word. President Trump stood for two hours and didn’t seem to miss a single syllable or point of emphasis. Likewise, he was able to go on and off script, seamlessly, at will. At the same time, he was superb at “reading” the audience, and its reactions. In this way, he kept the address lively, seemingly spontaneous and unpredictable. These are the marks of someone who has clearly mastered public address.

2. The president – – any president – – in order to be truly effective must also be a showman. Having dabbled in the world of media and entertainment, and having led a hit TV series, Trump is a master showman and his talent in this area, were on full display last night. So, the speech was periodically peppered with captivating moments showcasing ordinary people who had done extraordinary things. It was exciting, inspiring and hugely aspirational. It helps, of course, that we like to think of these qualities as quintessentially American.

3. Trump seems to know how to get precisely the reaction he wants out of various segments of his audience at any given time. He is a champion provocateur. He knows how to push people’s buttons – – and, when necessary, how to trigger them. Lamely, the Democrats played right into his hands. At the same time, it helped that the Republicans cheered precisely when they should have cheered and glared disapprovingly at their Democrat colleagues exactly when they should’ve done that. The entire symphony was a tour de force orchestrated by the master impresario, Donald J Trump

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like this in my lifetime. Then again, I was born after Andrew Jackson, and both Roosevelts – – Teddy and FDR. Make no mistake about it, we are living through unprecedented and historic times!

Just When Your Thought The NYT Reached Bottom

No, this is not some sick joke. It's actually real. It's happening right now.
