“It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.” Rocky Balboa

In Joe’s day, a job requirement for President was the ability to sleep on the beach. And he was good at it.
The standard for a Four-Star General was having your Chinese counterpart on speed dial to let him know what then-President Trump was doing.
And nothing says “I’m innocent,” than a pre-emptive pardon to the Biden family.
But that's all in the past. What a difference an election makes.
Still the Legacy Media is unhappy, and it doesn't make sense.
They were the people who watched Joe Biden sleep on the beach for years and never bothered to ask (1)why we still paid him, and (2) who the heck was running the country.
Yet when Donald Trump actually showed up for work, Liberals and the Legacy Media were miffed. They lashed out. I think it was because they didn’t know what a working president looked like. Jim Acosta even quit CNN in protest at what Trump was doing.
They’re right. It was unusual having a president in the Oval Office, working. There Trump was, rounding up illegal immigrant criminals and deporting them.
Having a portrait of General Milley removed, on Inauguration Day, ten days after it was hung, with a second portrait slated to bite the dust in the Pentagon.
Removing personal security details and security clearances for Gen. Milley, Dr. Fauci, John Bolton, and the 51 senior intelligence officials who signed a letter stating that the Hunter laptop “had all the earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
These people in the Biden administration did a bad job at their jobs except when it came to undermining President Trump during Trump’s first term.
Milley’s actions were chronicled in several book accounts. And in a 2023 interview with ABC’s Martha Raddatz, the General said the US. withdrawal from Afghanistan “didn’t end the way we wanted it,” yet called the evacuation “an amazing logistical feat.” I guess he was referring to the people that were hanging onto the wings of the planes.
There were others, besides Biden, who weren’t up to snuff.
White House National Security Spokesman Kirby said “For all this talk of chaos (in Afghanistan), I just didn’t see it, not from my perch.”
Defense Secretary Austin told Congress he “has no regrets,” about the way the withdrawal was conducted.
It's funny. These people had no problem dishing it out while Joe was president, when they thought the fix was in, and Kamala would sashay into the Oval Office, but they couldn't take it when the tables were turned.
Now they are angry that what they did to harm a political opponent actually had consequences.
"They" included the attorneys who volunteered to work with Special Counsel Jack Smith to bury Trump;
The government workers who are insulted at being told to come to work or quit;
The IRS agents who might be sent to protect the border with their firearms instead of persecuting American citizens;
The DEI staffers who are out on their ears;
And those who celebrated the political trial in New York which could allow them to call Trump “a felon.”
Now, surprise, surprise, they’re all crying in their beers, because President Trump is telling them “You’re fired!”
They say it’s “retribution.” But we think his success will be his retribution.
The people who persecuted him with cruel, bogus lawsuits, who impeached him twice, expect Trump to take it on the chin, while people like them shouldn’t have to.
These Trump haters thought they were safe.
They acted like it was all fun and games until they found out how hard Trump could get hit, and keep on moving forward.
And when they realized that they couldn’t.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots.
