“If a job’s worth doing, it’s too hard.” Scott Adams

Nobody puts Trump in a corner.
If you try, he’ll just hold another rally.
The Donald wouldn’t have signed Robert De Niro on as part of his campaign team. But Joe did.
“He doesn’t belong in my city,” an angry De Niro told the crowd outside the Manhattan courthouse where Trump is on trial.
Then De Niro found out it wasn’t “his city.” It was Trump’s.
He found that out as Trump supporters blared car alarms, shouted “USA!” “FJB,” and asked De Niro pointed questions, such as why he came to the press conference with traitors.
“What are you telling me,” De Niro shouted. The bystander said, “those two traitors behind you,” referring to former Capitol Police officers Harry Dunn and Michael Fanone, whom De Niro was praising for their brave defense of the Capitol bravely on January 6.
“What are you telling me,” De Niro asked again. “They lied under oath? What are you saying?”
The man said they lied to Congress. “I don’t even know how to deal with you,” a disgusted De Niro said.
But the crowd wasn’t buying it. No one was.
Maybe it was because De Niro called Trump “a clown,” “a grubby real estate hustler,” and “a tyrant.” But it was probably because De Niro’s appearance proved that Biden is behind the political prosecutions of Trump.
“After months of saying politics had nothing to do with this trial,” Trump’s senior campaign adviser, Jason Miller, said, “they showed up and made a campaign event out of a lower Manhattan trial day for President Trump.”
Abraham Lincoln said you can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry.
With Trump, it’s easy. An open border, elected officials who hate America, a government that politicizes government agencies against its citizens, and prosecutes political opponents.
That makes him angry.
In De Niro’s case, it’s an inexplicable, all-consuming hatred for Trump.
For Hillary Clinton, now it’s other women. But it’s really Trump. Hillary can’t get over that she lost the presidential election in 2016. To Trump.
She simply can’t help herself.
Over the years, whenever interviewed, she talked about who did her dirty. The Democrat Party. Macedonians. The Russians. James Comey. But it might really have more to do with Bill.
Despite angry protestations, Hillary did “stand by her man,” and buried her anger and humiliation down deep. And every once in a while, she lashes out.
This week, again, she angrily reflected on one more reason she lost.
“They (female voters) left me because they just couldn’t take a risk on me, because as a woman, I’m supposed to be perfect.”
Outside of the fact that “perfect,” and “Hillary” should never be uttered in the same sentence, Hillary doesn’t understand that a lot of people outside her bubble don’t like her. And that she, like Joe, is a liar.
Remember when she told the story about her coming under sniper fire when landing at an airport in Bosnia in 1996, when a video showed her accepting flowers from a little girl?
When she blamed the Republican Establishment always going after her husband, and lying about Bill having an affair with Monica?
Oh, heck. What difference does it make? But the question remains, why is it, today, in a country where anyone can be all that they can be, some, like Hillary, and Joe, continue to choose to be victims? And blame others...
Our Founder Fathers believed that it is a leader that sets the tone.
At his rally in the Bronx, Trump took time to talk to the young people about success. Do what you love, he said. Work hard.
“It’s a funny thing that happens,” Trump said, and quoted golf great Gary Player. “the harder I work, the luckier I get.”
“It’s true. I can tell you if I didn’t work really hard, there is very little chance that I would be standing here right now,” he added.
“And when times are tough, sometimes that’s when you perform the best. You have to learn that about yourself.
“Some of the greatest days of my business career were in the toughest times, but I enjoyed waking up every single morning, and going to battle.”
It’s not a speech that Joe would give. Or Robert De Niro.
But that’s because they’re just angry, old men.
As for Hillary. Well, Hillary is just Hillary.
Hold the line, Amerca.
Stay strong, Patriots
