The Damnatio Memoriae of Donald Trump

Original Article

Posted By: LittleRedHen1, 1/23/2021 12:35:23 PM

Back in my high school English classes, we were treated to one Shakespearean play each year and were required to commit to memory a soliloquy from each. Sophomore year, the play was Julius Caesar, so as to coincide with our Latin course which had us translate Caesar’s De Bello Gallico. Marc Antony’s panegyric for Caesar sprung to mind as one after another former friend and supporter of President Donald Trump flipped sides, essentially engaging in a favorite ancient Roman exercise of damnatio memoriae (the damnation or cancellation of the memory of someone).

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears ...

FTA: "If all of this is the case, then how to explain “defectors” from Trumpism? Gutlessness and political maneuvering." Little rat terriers nipping at his heels. Donald Trump was and remains a bigger and better man. And still my President.

Best President of My Lifetime. Nothing will change that one iota. Hard facts show how much he accomplished in the way of good for average Americans of all races and classes.

This article speaks well about what I've been seeing at a number of previously Trump supporting sites. Oh how quickly people turn when they've got no one to blame. I call them fair weather supporters; people who rallied when the stars were aligned, but now call out Trump for daring to be human after all. He did much - much more than I thought he might successfully pull off. But alas, he was but one.

FTA: It has led me to conclude that Donald Trump, malgré lui (in spite of himself), may well be deemed the first truly Catholic president. May we Catholics never forget the immense good that he did. I surely shan’t biden is not Catholic no matter how he proclaims it, nor was the womanizer, Kennedy.

#5-7 I believe President Trump is Episcopalian, often considered Catholic Lite...one third less guilt. The good Father mentions, "by their fruits you shall know them." This should be our touchstone and guidance during the days ahead. President Trump is in grave jeopardy, as well as his supporters. Our strength is to be found in prayer and fasting. Our way will be illuminated through reading and meditating on Holy Scripture. There is nothing new under the sun. First century Christianity has come round again. Saints are not born, they are made.

Thousands of Catholics are flocking to Gower, Missouri to see the exhumed remains of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster. The body of Sister Wilhelmina, the founder of the Benedictine Sisters of Mary, Queen of the Apostles, is completely intact after her death four years ago. Expecting to find bones, the Benedictine Sisters instead unearthed a coffin with an apparently intact body, even though the body was not embalmed and the wooden coffin had a crack down the middle that let in moisture and dirt for an unknown length of time during those four years.

With friends like liberal media, who needs enemies? Their virtue signaling and political spin over Ukraine is so revolting that if I didn't know better, I'd turn against Ukraine like so many conservative commentators already have. But having lived in both Russia and Ukraine, I know better. Just as revolting is seeing previously trusted conservative sites and TV hosts defending Russia and tarring Ukraine. [SNIP] Reading Russian and Ukrainian sources in the original, I know exactly who in this war is spinning lies and who is fighting for truth and freedom.

Because the angry debate about Whoopi Goldberg's statements is focused on the definition of racism and its role in the Holocaust, perhaps the views of Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) himself will be of interest.

It was all part of the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) biowarfare plan against the United States. The design of COVID-19 was based on a number of bioweapon features, in particular, highly contagious, low lethality, and a high rate of asymptomatic transmission. Another important feature of a PLA bioweapon, not mentioned on that list, is disguising its origin. That is, the capability of avoiding responsibility for a biowarfare attack by designing a virus that could be blamed on a natural outbreak.

"It's time to pay." Those four words from Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush are being heard a lot by Democratic politicians across the country this month. For Bush, the debt amounts to $14 trillion in reparations for Black Americans. In California, activists are demanding as much as $5 million per Black resident and asking Gov. Gavin Newsom "where's the money?" One member of Newsom's Reparations Task Force demanded that the state pay its "sin bill" In New York and Chicago, mayors are balking at towering costs from migrants being shipped from the border to their "sanctuary" cities.

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors has been quietly let go from her Warner Bros TV deal after producing no content. Cullors, 39, signed the deal with the media giant in 2020 to much fanfare but it ended in secret in October 2022, it emerged on Friday. 'The deal, unfortunately, did not result in any produced shows,' a source told the New York Post. Cullors claimed in January 2022 that she was working on a documentary about how reparations were similar to the idea of landback, where Native Americans got back their lands, and another about black social mobility.

The late British author Beatrix Potter is being accused of stealing the stories for her Peter Rabbit books from slaves in America, with a woke literature professor saying Potter is guilty of the “appropriation” of black culture. In a recent essay, Emily Zobel Marshall, who teaches postcolonial literature at Leeds Beckett university in England, claimed Beatrix Potter ripped off the oral “Br’er Rabbit” folk tales told by slaves working on southern plantations. In addition, she accuses Potter of deliberately hiding the “sources” of her literary inspiration. [Tweet]

Last night I participated in a conversation. This article is written as an outcome of that conversation, as requested by those who participated. (snip) In various forms they were asking each other the same question. What happened in the last several years that caused Democrats, leftists and the traditional political left to switch positions on their advocacy? Liberalism literally went from railing against Big Govt, to embracing corrupt Big Govt. Why and how did this happen? In short, it was the same line of questioning I have seen asked by Tucker Carlson, Glenn Greenwald, Tulsi Gabbard and various traditionally liberal people as well as people on the right side of the continuum.

Former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney implored new college graduates to not compromise when it comes to the truth, excoriating her House Republican colleagues for not doing enough to combat former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen. In a commencement speech at Colorado College, the Wyoming Republican repeated her fierce criticisms of Trump but steered clear of talking about his 2024 reelection campaign or her own political future. Cheney, who graduated from Colorado College in 1988, recalled being a political science student walking into a campus building where a Bible verse was inscribed above the entrance that read, “Ye shall know the truth and

Top leaders in both parties reached a long-sought deal on Saturday to avoid an unprecedented government default, announcing an agreement on a plan to lift the debt ceiling immediately and apply new caps on federal spending in the name of curbing deficits, according to sources familiar. To get there, negotiators had to iron out their differences on a small but crucial list of outstanding issues that had dogged the talks in recent days, including lower spending levels, new work requirements for social benefit programs and permitting reforms to expedite approval of energy infrastructure projects — three Republican demands that were opposed by most Democrats.

The pre-teen, Clovis Hung, is the youngest person to graduate from Fullerton College, the university said. Hung started attending the school in Fall 2020, when he was just 9 years old and his mother had pulled him out of traditional public school claiming her son was highly self-motivated and goal-oriented. “Clovis is super inquisitive, mature, diligent, self-disciplined, and highly motivated,” Hung’s mother, Song Choi, said in a statement released by the school. “He is also very curious and traditional public schools could not satisfy his curiosity,
