Time to Rethink Your Never Trumpism

Original Article

Okay, my Trump-shy friends, it’s time to put aside your fussy principles about how icky Donald Trump is. This is serious, and we need all hands on deck to throw Biden overboard before he gets a whole lot more Americans killed. I get that you don’t like Trump. Let’s agree that he’s icky for the purposes of this discussion. Let’s agree that his tweets are mean, that he’s not a conservative ideologue, that he says dumb things and gets into useless fights, and that he does many other unseemly and annoying things. Let’s agree that this is all true. Let’s concede that in normal times,

It's time to circle our wagons around Donald Trump!!

Solid article. He is right. No one in my family likes Trump. We never did. But we voted for him and we will do it again. I am still stinging from how horrible the Bush family turned out to be. What can you do?

Check the backstories of three of the greatest Old Testament heroes, Moses, David and Solomon. Likely they would all be admited and acceptable to most raised in the Judeo-Christian tradition. They were not "perfect" men, but they were perfectly suited to lead their people and their nation in times of great peril. Vote against Trump if you will, but do so in opposition to his policies, not his personality.

I don't agree that Trump's tweets are mean, that he gets in useless fights, and so on. I am tired of these caveats, and do not accept any of them.

Agree. There are personality issues about President Trump I have concerns about. I have shoved those issues aside as we were in a better place when he was president than we are now. Plus I think Trump has learned a thing or two. Do you really think FJB is the answer to our problems since he caused all our problems? Life doesn't work that way. FKH is waiting in the wings and she is the supreme incompetent DEI employee ready to take over. (OMG, please save us.) FJB has America circling the toilet bowl he has created for us. More spending, more DEI, trans, green energy nonsense, more inflation and the pushing of bugs and the printing of money we do not have. It's a chance to get out of the toilet or be flushed down the drain by FJB. Think long and hard.

Never Trump Republicans have come up in private conversation for me a couple of times lately. My take is that if the “sensible” Republicans have been doing the things that they claimed to be on their agenda, and not giving up ground to leftists for so many years, Trump wouldn’t have gotten any traction. But he stepped up to fill a leadership void and do those things - protecting the Constitution among the most important - and they’re angrier at him than they ever got at leftist commies!

The Never Trumpers are stubborn and dug into their positions. I suspect, having lived with the disaster that is Biden and an extreme liberal government, some will be shook up enough to vote for Trump or at least not vote for Biden. Many Never Trumpers hate the battles going on in government. Because Trump is loud and proud about what he is trying to get done, many think Trump is CAUSING the problem. We have been brainwashed into thinking that compromise is always possible and good. Yet, the Left has gone to extremes making impossible any type of rational compromise. You cannot both have unchecked spending and fiscal responsibility. You cannot have open borders and safe places to live. You cannot ignore law and claim to be a nation of law. You cannot pick and choose what laws to enforce and which not to. A responsible leader MUST fight against the insane Left. Compromise is not possible so it gets messy. That is the only way to fix things. If you cannot see this, you are not only a Never Trumper, you are an idiot.

Trump wasnt my first choice in 2016 and I was hoping for new blood in 2024. But I have to say that it was the non-stop attacks, smears, libel and outright lies by the media and democrats that made me a Trump supporter. And for all of the reasons above, plus the lawfare and "threats to democracy" that has me supporting Trump in 2024. Would I have preferred someone else? Yes. Will I support Trump? You betcha.

White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby appeared on "Fox News Sunday" with host Shannon Bream and claimed that it was actually former President Trump who emboldened Iran to attack Israel on Saturday and that the Biden administration’s release of billions of dollars in frozen funds to the Islamic Republic had little bearing on the matter. As Biden himself likes to say, “C’mon man.” If you have a drug-addicted relative, the one thing you certainly don’t do is give them money or even give cash to their acquaintances because said relative will certainly find a way to get their hands on it.

Texas law enforcement executing a search warrant for alleged depraved downloads were forced to call in Homeland Security when they discovered more than child pornography at a Houston-area home. While President Joe Biden continued to play politics over the border crisis, endeavoring to shift blame for the outcome of leftist policies on Republicans, the erosion of national sovereignty placed countless Americans at risk from various unchecked criminal elements. Thursday in Baytown, Texas, that reality played out as deputies from the Chambers County Sheriff’s Office arrived at a residence to execute a warrant over child pornography and found 10 individuals suspected of being illegal aliens.

The far-left New York Times has admitted that growing numbers of voters are looking back “more positively” on Donald Trump’s presidency as the Biden administration continues to fail at everything it does. In an article published Sunday, the Times conceded that voters have a “rosier picture” of Trump’s tenure when compared with Biden, particularly on issues such as immigration, the economy and law and order. The paper reported: Views of Donald J. Trump’s presidency have become more positive since he left office, bolstering his case for election and posing a risk to President Biden’s strategy of casting his opponent as unfit for the presidency,

Alan Ritchson, known for his role as the lead character in Amazon Prime Video’s action-thriller series “Reacher,” has unleashed a barrage of criticisms against President Donald Trump. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor delivered a scathing critique against President Trump, calling him “a rapist” and “a con man.” The actor, a self-proclaimed Christian, expressed his bewilderment at the Christian church’s embrace of Trump, whom he views as fundamentally antithetical to Christian teachings. “Trump is a rapist and a con man, and yet the entire Christian church seems to treat him like he’s their poster child and it’s unreal. I don’t understand it,” Ritchson said.

What was it that Obama Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said about Joe Biden — he's been wrong on foreign policy for 40 years? Let's just update that to 50 years as we look at what's happening right now. Biden and Barack Obama came out of the same school of weak appeasement and coddling Iran, and weakness invites attack. Add to that not just the policy and response to Iran's aggressions have been weak, but Biden himself is the personification of weakness. That's led to where we are now, with the box Biden has painted himself into,

As Iran launches dozens of drones against Israel, many critics are blaming President Joe Biden’s weak leadership and failed foreign policies on the attack. “Israel is under attack!” Former President Donald Trump said on Saturday while addressing rallygoers in Pennsylvania. “This would NEVER have happened if I were President!” And he’s right. Trump’s presidency marked profound moments in the history of foreign policy. Slowly, Biden has pulled the United States into the war Iran is waging across the Middle East. Trump’s use of sanction threats and American military power resulted in less aggression from Iran. However, on the contrary, under the Biden Administration,

On Saturday, Iran initiated a barrage of drones and ballistic missiles at Israel. Thankfully, most of them were successfully intercepted, causing minimal damage. Of course, in a stunning move, President Biden is pushing Israel not to retaliate. It's hard to imagine why Biden would do that, except when you consider that Joe Biden has been appeasing Iran since his days as Barack Obama vice president. With that in mind, it's also not surprising—though it's still shocking— that Joe Biden not only had prior knowledge of Iran's assault on Israel but also technically gave it the green light under certain conditions, according to a report from the Jerusalem Post.

Fox 8 reports that police arrested 20-year-old Yeixon Brito-Gonzalez and suspect that he is in the country illegally. Customs and Border Patrol have put a hold on him. “We have no way to tell if he is here legally or not,” said Sandusky Police Chief Jared Oliver. “But he has no proof of identification.” The failed heist took place on April 6th at around 11:30 a.m., when bank clerks called police to report a man entering the facility

Bless Joe Biden's heart. The arguably worst president in American history has intentionally screwed up this country, in less than four years, beyond what even I thought he was capable of doing. As Barack Obama reportedly and correctly said, "Never underestimate Joe's ability to f**k things up." How badly so? A new Wall Street Journal poll found that 30 percent of black men in seven swing states now support former President Donald Trump over Biden. Trump garnered only 12 percent of black male voters in 2020. That's a monumental shift, which hurts Biden more than it helps Trump, meaning that the traditional coalition of disparate voting groups

A North Carolina high school student was charged after he allegedly slapped his teacher multiple times during a viral profanity-laced classroom rant earlier this week. The rage-filled youngster, identified only as a minor, confronted the educator inside Parkland High School in Winston-Salem, where he violently attacked her, according to video posted to social media. After the initial impact, the teacher seemed unfazed by the slap as the student continued to run his mouth. Do you think that affected me anyway,” the unidentified teacher said, sitting back in her chair, legs crossed. “Want me to hit you again,” the juvenile asked as he menacingly approached the teacher.

In a 2-1 ruling, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals allowed transgender-identifying males to participate on women’s sports teams in the state. This was one of several pending lawsuits addressing the issue of male participation in women’s sports, with both sides laying claim to Title IX to support their cases.

The first quarter of 2024 has seen the number of measles cases recorded in the U.S. stand significantly higher than in recent years, a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) details. Americans have reported a total of 338 cases since January 1, 2020—and 97 cases, or 29 percent of the total, came between the start of 2024 and March 28, per the report. And as of April 11, the number of cases in 2024 had risen to 121. “What was surprising about 2024 is that we’ve seen a significant increase,” John Brownstein, an epidemiologist at Boston Children’s Hospital, told ABC News’ Mary Kekatos.

The inflation numbers remain high; this entire presidency has been shipwrecked by incompetence, arrogance, and, yes, Joe’s decrepit state.

As jets roared overhead, garbage trucks and police squad cars encircled Ortega’s hand-built shelter. Heavy machinery operators stood by for the signal to bulldoze Ortega’s camp. As the workers closed in, Ortega grew increasingly upset. “They’re going to have to drag me out of here,” he said.
