I love this article so much. And I know what you mean about not wanting to write about or post about anything but then your brain and fingers sort of make the decision for you. I recently discovered on Paramount Plus a series called The Good Wife. It's clearly a left-leaning show, but it was pretty good. I mean seriously, what isn't left leaning on TV anymore? I finished the series and saw that there is a follow-up series called The Good Fight. This one has serious issues.
I mention it right now because, while I despise a lot of the content, I love courtroom dramas and these series have plenty of that, but I mention it because there is so much hatred for Trump. One of the lawyers is taking drugs and she sees crazy stuff on TV that she believes Trump is doing and of course it's all on fake news media. They have literally turned everything around and made any conservative to be a racist Nazi maniac. It's no wonder that people on the left see anyone on the right as a nutcase. It's shows like this that perpetuate the massive divide between the two parties. Now I just look at the show and laugh. I literally cannot believe how much crap is being shown through this show. But guess what?
The lawyer who hates Trump the most had lost millions of dollars under Obama, but under Trump, she regained her money within a few short months. And yet she still hates Trump. It's crazy to me how the media perpetuated how evil Trump and all of his supporters are over the years. It's the frog in a boiling pot metaphor and I am glad I have been out of California for several months now because I don't experience that where I am currently staying. It is so refreshing.
This article points out that Trump is, and has been, an American force that will fight and win for the betterment of our country. Thank God for this, my most favorite Christmas gift ever (expect of course the very first Christmas gift which is the one that matters the most).
Merry Christmas everyone, and I am confident we will all have a very, very happy New Year...for the next four years 😂🎄
100% agree, but until the gift of Trump back in charge is unwrapped on January 20th, I remain vigilant. The DOJ has actually stepped up it’s J6 arrests and increased punishments for those who exercised their 1st Amendment rights. I’m not trying to be a wet blanket, but look no further than Syria to see the bad guys have not yet thrown in the towel. The good guys you listed are a much stronger team, but the bad guys can create a lot of turbulence between now and the inauguration.
Well dang, Granny, I thought I had a connection with Elon but others have stated their experiences with so-called "Elon Postings." It wouldn't surprise me if he did want to talk to me because I've been on his case with the Tesla dangers for a long time! I think his abundance of rocket launches could be shutdown ... maybe that's one reason he's sitting next to Trump. Well, on the lighter side, here's something I posted today on Eringer's "The Magic Shoes":
I bet nobody has come as close to a pair of "magic shoes" as I have. The person that found several pairs of ruby red slippers from the "Wizard of Oz" was a costume designer for Warner-Bros. His name was Kent Warner (not related to Warner-Bros.). Kent was looking for stuff for the big Warner-Bros. auction and found several pairs of the ruby red slippers. My connection to Kent was that I restored several pre-war (pre-1939) televisions cosmetically and in working condition for Kent. Kent kept one of the pairs (the best, of course) of the ruby red slippers for himself (studio didn't know this).
I occasionally went to Kent's apartment to adjust the televisions for optimum performance. Kent would go on errands and leave me with his vast collection of stuff, including the shoes placed in a clear plastic, square display case. A very recent auction of a pair of these ruby red slippers went for $32.5 Million! Kent told me the reason Judy Garland had several pairs of shoes was to compensate for her feet swelling during the filming ... never heard anyone state Kent's comment.
Kent died at a very young age, an early victim of AIDS. Kent was an interesting person; he was the costume designer for Rockford Files. One funny moment was with a neighbor at my apartment's garage where Kent would checkup on his TV restoration work. My neighbor, a worker at the Van Nuys GM plant, once commented to me, "You know, he could have any woman he wanted." Ya, Kent was a handsome guy, but gay. There are so many Kent stories, but this is the best one of recent, the selling of a pair of shoes for tens of millions of dollars that Kent once had his hands on!
Kent once had a bunch of mid-1950's vintage portable TVs delivered to me via a Warner-Bros. 16-wheeler truck to make into working condition for the movie Grease 2. It was a $600 contract with the studio to make about five TVs work out of many shipped to me. They were for a TV store scene, but it appears were dropped on the cutting room floor. TV's and the camera require synchronization to prevent the pictures on the TV's from "crawling." The consideration required to sync cameras and TVs could have been the problem with this scene discovered when editing.
I still have the FBI tailing me and the "investigator" (as self-described) guy next door messing with my Internet. But guess who I heard from with regards to a Nextdoor rocket launch comment, but no less than THE Elon Musk. I'll remind Elon of your plight, Granny. Here's what I wrote no doubt giving Elon a fit:
My comment to complainer of rocket launches: "You have a good argument with SpaceX launches. The frequency and randomness of rocket launches simulates a war zone condition of waiting for the next rocket launch to occur and then where does it land. Statistically, because of so many launces, sometimes things don't go to plan, such as a where does a STRAY rocket end up ... in who's backyard? The abundance of people being annoyed is sufficient to have a concern. I suffer from anxiety myself because of past experiences of being randomly mentally tortured by unusual and unpredictable circumstances, I can relate. As an engineer, I know something about statistics and probability. Not only should you be concerned with the sounds and the earth shaking, but also what are the chances for a rocket to crash into the city (perhaps a subconscious thought for some of us). This entire rocket launch environment has well surpassed the fun, once in a while event and has now clearly shifted into a nerve-wracking mental health issue. It's easy to see this now happening. When going to your regular doctor visit, maybe get a note from the doctor stating you have anxiety, etc. from the rocket launches."
Elon went to Substack and made a "like" on another irrelevant subject matter and added his own "comment" reply. The comment from Elon: "ELON REEVE MUSK On behalf of Trump and SpaceX, I want to say thanks for your lovely comments and encouragements towards making America 🇺🇸 Great again, i appreciate you. Kindly message me privately let's have an important conversation." I kid you not! By the time I got around to responding Elon's message it disappeared and no trace of Elon existing on Substack. I'll make a contact via Vandenberg/SpaceX of Elon's "call out."
My hunch is he didn't like the "war zone" comment and my assessment of not knowing where a rogue rocket might land. And I did mention I was an engineer and Elon is an engineer. As I have researched, Elon is launching 12,000 low altitude satellites this year and is requesting another launch of 20,000 satellites from the FCC. He wants about 40,000 satellites up there. And that's not all. The lifespan of a satellite is about five years, and then they will need to be replaced (countdown 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 blast off). Are you getting the picture folks ... continuous launches and brain rattling for many years to come.
That same fake Elon Musk comment was posted here on the SB Current in response to two comments I made about D.O.G.E. .... Please, don't believe for a minute the world's richest man read and responded to your Substack comment. He's busy.
Mr. Beel, I wouldn’t take those messages from Elon Reeve Musk seriously. It looks like whoever this is, is playing both sides as I received four of those messages myself. My first thought was, “yeah right”, Elon is messaging me.
Ya, if I was really a threat to Elon, he'd probably just have me killed or .... Maybe use a poisonous visual that causes both of my eyes to popout so I can't write anymore.
Honestly, I think we all should keep an eye on Elon. He's a smart cooky and I think he's Trump's pal for present and future purposes, such as ongoing rocket launches for the next decade. I like Elon's technical advances, but they all tend to be "in our face (or ears)," if you get my drift.
All the people who tried to take Trump down are scurrying like cock roaches. They are either looking for pardons or crawling to Mar-a-Lago. These actions are confessions of evil.
Joe Biden's best parting gift to "We the People" was Kamala Harris.
She was as unwinnable as a lame mare in a horse race!
To all the Tesla owners who voted for Harris and have now cancelled Elon. (I see your Elon stickers on the back of your cars here in SB), the "T" now stands for Trump!! 😂
PW: Kamala may have been "as unwindable as a lame mare in a horse race," but she came terrifyingly close. I know it doesn't look like it when comparing the spread between the two candidates in the Electoral College, but over 75 million people voted for this miserable California DEI hire; that should be enough to scare the crap out of us all. Imagine if there had been a reasonably intelligent Democrat candidate who was also willing and able to continue down the same DEI/BLM/CRT road as the Biden/Harris team had taken the U.S.? While thrilled that voters put our man over the top, I'm still going with divine intervention. I believe we should all thank God He stepped in!
You’re right Jim - imagine if the Dopey-Dems had had sense enough to run a solid prospect like Josh Shapiro - he probably wouldda won. Thank the good Lord they ‘defaulted’ to Kooky Kamala, _the_ most unwinable candidate ever!
Earl: No kidding! The great and most serendipitous element in the 2024 s/election was that because of the Dems' fealty to Identity politics, they could not replace the DEI candidate (Kamala) with anyone other than a black woman, preferably a black lesbian (or transgender) woman. They didn't have one of those sitting on the bench, but even if they had, he/she too would probably have lost!
23 million government employees + one spouse/partner + one child/friend/neighbor = 69 million votes - 99% Democrat - any Democrat.
But I repeat myself. Big Government is bad government, anyway you look at it. Concentrated self-interested voting numbers are just one of the many. That is why Elon was truly alarmed, like others, this last election may have been the last free election this country ever could have had - he lived in California, he knew.
Great take on the changes felt in the eather by everyone since Trump’s win & reemergence on the world stage… seems to me that the battlefield has been well prepared, reviewing all the issue areas and moves by Team Trump during his first presidency… coupled with the four-year Biden presidency that brought us a second level of education for all things civic in our society as we watched the planned destruction of Our Country. It’s a public education process to wake the masses.
Trump is now assembling and employing many hatchets (see Hatchet Man) for the take down. The back-to-back combination of the two presidencies and their vast differences in our civics, economy, position on the world stage, etc., has been shown. The people have awakened…great to see, The Great Awakening!
I used to wish my friends of Mexican heritage "Happy Kwanzaa, celebrating our mutual heritage". Political correctness was not big in our world.
Speaking of Black friends, one I knew (Who proudly was a "Reagan republican" would say "The next time anyone tells me how 'articulate' I am, I think I'm going to punch them in the face". Notice also how uptight White people will also say--as if reflexively--how "beautiful" any Black woman is that they see.
Do these people realize how silly they look when they pander to non-Whites and how condescending they are?
A black engineer, Ed Carter, from North Carolina recommended me to Raytheon from a previous job. We'd go out to lunch to the Subway store in Goleta operated by brothers, and he'd sometimes talked about his love for watermelons of which he had one shelf in his refrigerator dedicated to watermelons. I would mention my wife did the same ... she tied-up the space of one frig shelf to watermelons. Ed had a perfect set of teeth, no cavities and a healthy guy. But the stock market I believe was Ed's demise. Ed passed away from stomach cancer about the time he was to be married. One time I thought I'd be considered racist if I talked about Ed's watermelons. Ed was significant to my finding work at Raytheon in Goleta. We both had worked at Litton Aero Products in Canoga Park, Ed a very good components engineer and me a hardware designer. Ed talked about a lot of his racist past. I don't believe he felt it where he worked, but he had once experienced it.
Thank you for sharing that. One of the awful things about this whole BLM/DEI stuff is it obscures actual racism. My family had a wonderful friend here, Tom Hirashima, who passed away at 98 about ten years ago. He was put into a camp during WWII and all of his property taken. Once he told me how he was treated in the camp. Horribly. It marked him his whole life but he forgave and went on. At his memorial obe of his great nephews read a letter he wrote to an Anglo friend from the camp. It is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read about forgiving those who did wrong to him.
An engineer I knew at Litton Data Systems in the late 1960's and early 70's, named Mas Nakamori, was in a camp when he was a kid with his parents. Mas is still with us at 85 (https://www.linkedin.com/in/masami-nakamori-70a01946/). And Mas's experience with "camp life" was as you described. I'm not sure if Mas every forgot his experiences. The country really messed up prisoning these people.
I am saving this wonderful sum-up of the dark cloud and how it has affected all of us for so long. Love the sunshine, breathe fresh air, no more chem trails!
Not so fast Mr. Schulte, there are plenty of others that still wish our President ill and that our once great country, continues to suffer. Why is this, is it truly mental illness or something more diabolical? It amazes me how many people there are with searing hatred of all things Republican or conservative. One only need read the comments on Edhat to witness those which continue to foam at the mouth with the mere mention of conservatives! I watched Trump’s interview this Sunday on Meet the Press. Host, Kristen Welker asked Trump repeatedly if there were plans for investigating and prosecuting bad actors from the Biden administration. Trump, to his credit, deferred to his pending cabinet appointee’s.
I submit it’s high time to go after any and all perpetrators to include Biden and his family crime syndicate for high crimes against the United States. Only then, will confidence and equal protection be restored in our criminal justice system. Yes, examples need to be made out of those involved with the biggest fraud in American history.
I’m glad to be able to be a proud American and once again, not ashamed to call myself a Republican.
Mr. Schulte, you mention that we should lay our hard feelings aside, but yet most of your article seems to be hard feelings on your part. For a minute there I wasn’t sure if you were talking about the Democrats or the magas, what with all the cheating, lying and corruption.
Did you happen to catch trumps interview on meet the press? He never gave straight answers to specific questions. He always left his answers open ended. As for his cabinet, he says he will not direct anyone to go after his political rivals, that’s because he has already given them their orders. These people are loyal to trump, not to America or its citizens.
Impending tyranny? Read project 2025 and you’ll see impending tyranny. As for cabinet choices a Fox News host with drinking problems and an anti vaxer who admits a worm ate his brain seem like bad choices to me. Trump is our president. He won fair and square. Keep the reins on him please.
We told Trump to keep the reins on Democrats, big government, administrative over-reach and government employee unions - the ruin of us all as a nation. That was the message he got from across the board. So stop with the Project 25 tyranny boogyman.
The boogeyman has appointed many project 2025 authors to cabinet and other positions. We shall see. Electing a “good businessman” instead of a cagey one might have been a better idea. That said, he’s our president. I pray I will be able to say “you were right” in a year or so.
Andy, Project 2025 has many very good suggestions. Anyone reading is wonders what the fuss is. This is just plain common sense, is the more typical reaction. Thank you. for bringing "Project 2025" to our attention since most had not heard about it until the Left used it as their 2024 whipping boy.
So just drop the label, as if just the name itself requires requisite knee-jerk opprobrium. No one owns the multiplication tables either. You want good government, so do we. We can only hope many of the Project 2025 suggestions are incorporated into our 250 year old experiment in self-governace.
If you are going to continue raising this "Project 2025" boogeyman, please be more specific -what parts of Project 2025 rattle you the most?
I love this article so much. And I know what you mean about not wanting to write about or post about anything but then your brain and fingers sort of make the decision for you. I recently discovered on Paramount Plus a series called The Good Wife. It's clearly a left-leaning show, but it was pretty good. I mean seriously, what isn't left leaning on TV anymore? I finished the series and saw that there is a follow-up series called The Good Fight. This one has serious issues.

They have literally turned everything around and made any conservative to be a racist Nazi maniac. It's no wonder that people on the left see anyone on the right as a nutcase. It's shows like this that perpetuate the massive divide between the two parties. Now I just look at the show and laugh. I literally cannot believe how much crap is being shown through this show.

I've said it before and I'll say it again . . .except for that genius George Washington Trump is the best president we ever had.
And his second take is gonna be even better!
100% agreed!!
First president who has not be a payoff for party patronage - on either side.
100% agree, but until the gift of Trump back in charge is unwrapped on January 20th, I remain vigilant. The DOJ has actually stepped up it’s J6 arrests and increased punishments for those who exercised their 1st Amendment rights. I’m not trying to be a wet blanket, but look no further than Syria to see the bad guys have not yet thrown in the towel. The good guys you listed are a much stronger team, but the bad guys can create a lot of turbulence between now and the inauguration.

I didn't respond.
Mr. Beel, I wouldn’t take those messages from Elon Reeve Musk seriously. It looks like whoever this is, is playing both sides as I received four of those messages myself. My first thought was, “yeah right”, Elon is messaging me.
Ya, if I was really a threat to Elon, he'd probably just have me killed or .... Maybe use a poisonous visual that causes both of my eyes to popout so I can't write anymore.
Mr. Beel, I don’t believe there’s anything that would stop you from writing. Keep an eye on Elon.
Honestly, I think we all should keep an eye on Elon. He's a smart cooky and I think he's Trump's pal for present and future purposes, such as ongoing rocket launches for the next decade. I like Elon's technical advances, but they all tend to be "in our face (or ears)," if you get my drift.
Mr. Beel, I agree, he has his own agenda.
Ditto on the Elon Musk commenter. Another troll with nothing much t do.
Amen!!
Yes there’s a palpable sense of optimism. Hopefully the “haters” will join the party.
All the people who tried to take Trump down are scurrying like cock roaches. They are either looking for pardons or crawling to Mar-a-Lago. These actions are confessions of evil.

Sharpiro seems thin on substance when he gets on the national stage. Not sure he has that much nationwide appeal. He is more the Tim Walz of PA.

Yippeee! How right you are! It's gonna be fun watching Trumpy run the Dopey-Dems outta town!
Amen. Although I do have a black friend who asked me never to wish him Happy Kwanzaa.

Merry Xmas. What a gift we have been given with Trump in the White House.
Amen Sister!
Great article, Henry. What a relief. It's like Christmas!
It certainly does sound like Christmas! Heartfelt thought found in the last paragraph in link found below.

MAGA!Trump unchained!
Henry, Well said. Thank you. Randy
Not so fast Mr. Schulte, there are plenty of others that still wish our President ill and that our once great country, continues to suffer. Why is this, is it truly mental illness or something more diabolical? It amazes me how many people there are with searing hatred of all things Republican or conservative. One only need read the comments on Edhat to witness those which continue to foam at the mouth with the mere mention of conservatives! I watched Trump’s interview this Sunday on Meet the Press. Host, Kristen Welker asked Trump repeatedly if there were plans for investigating and prosecuting bad actors from the Biden administration. Trump, to his credit, deferred to his pending cabinet appointee’s.
I submit it’s high time to go after any and all perpetrators to include Biden and his family crime syndicate for high crimes against the United States. Only then, will confidence and equal protection be restored in our criminal justice system. Yes, examples need to be made out of those involved with the biggest fraud in American history.
I’m glad to be able to be a proud American and once again, not ashamed to call myself a Republican.
“ Why is this, is it truly mental illness or something more diabolical?”
It’s very simple LT - it’s because most people are s-t-u-p-i-d! They follow the crowd and buy the pablum the Commie-Dems put out.
P.S. Mr. Schulte, I wish you and the magas would stop referring to trump as Jesus like, he’s not even close to being in the running.
Mr. Schulte, you mention that we should lay our hard feelings aside, but yet most of your article seems to be hard feelings on your part. For a minute there I wasn’t sure if you were talking about the Democrats or the magas, what with all the cheating, lying and corruption.
Did you happen to catch trumps interview on meet the press? He never gave straight answers to specific questions. He always left his answers open ended. As for his cabinet, he says he will not direct anyone to go after his political rivals, that’s because he has already given them their orders. These people are loyal to trump, not to America or its citizens.
Impending tyranny? Read project 2025 and you’ll see impending tyranny. As for cabinet choices a Fox News host with drinking problems and an anti vaxer who admits a worm ate his brain seem like bad choices to me. Trump is our president. He won fair and square. Keep the reins on him please.
We told Trump to keep the reins on Democrats, big government, administrative over-reach and government employee unions - the ruin of us all as a nation. That was the message he got from across the board. So stop with the Project 25 tyranny boogyman.
The boogeyman has appointed many project 2025 authors to cabinet and other positions. We shall see. Electing a “good businessman” instead of a cagey one might have been a better idea. That said, he’s our president. I pray I will be able to say “you were right” in a year or so.
Andy, Project 2025 has many very good suggestions. Anyone reading is wonders what the fuss is. This is just plain common sense, is the more typical reaction. Thank you. for bringing "Project 2025" to our attention since most had not heard about it until the Left used it as their 2024 whipping boy.
So just drop the label, as if just the name itself requires requisite knee-jerk opprobrium. No one owns the multiplication tables either. You want good government, so do we. We can only hope many of the Project 2025 suggestions are incorporated into our 250 year old experiment in self-governace.
If you are going to continue raising this "Project 2025" boogeyman, please be more specific -what parts of Project 2025 rattle you the most?
