  1. Sunday’s sermon, as seen through DJT’s eyes:
    “The Lord is my shepherd. OK? Totally. Big league. He is a tremendous shepherd. The best. No comparison. I know more than most people about herding sheep. And that’s why I won the election in a landslide and it’s why my company is doing very very well. Because He said, “I’m with you, Donald. You will never want.”
    So we were on this green pasture by the still waters and He said, “Lie down.” I said, “Lie down?” He said, “Lie down.” And He made me lie down. Right there in the pasture. So I lie down. People are so surprised that I lie down — “Oh, he’s lying down.” But He’s my shepherd. Great shepherd. Not just good. Great. It was right there that I thought, “This is going to be a tremendous golf course. Terrific greens. Plenty of water. And it is. Everybody who plays it comes away saying, “That is the greatest course in the entire world.” Everybody.
    So He was saying to me, Blessed are the deal-makers for theirs is the kingdom. Big time. Blessed are they who scorn: for they shall be comfortable. Blessed is machismo for it wins again and again. Blessed are they who are persecuted by the dishonest press for they shall continue down the paths of righteousness and that’s what is going on here. We are bringing righteousness to Washington for the first time and making incredible progress. I’ve done more in the past month than most presidents do in a year. Washington was without form and void and I issued an executive order, “Let there be light” and did I get credit for it? No, the dishonest press said, “It hurts our eyes.” So I divided the light from the darkness. Day and night. Night and day. I did all this in two nights and a day. Under deadline, under budget. Next week we’re going to do the firmament, the waters, the dry land, start naming beasts, all the rest of it.
    I tell you, I have been walking through the valley of the shadow of death. The shadow of death. I have to say that. Terrible. Because of the dishonest Midianites, or, as I call them, the media, including a lot of you here in this room, writing stories about chaos. Where’s the chaos? We’ve got light and darkness, day and night. There is no chaos. I know what’s true and the level of dishonesty is unbelievable. The story about the rich man in hell and the beggar Lazarus in heaven — fake news. Totally fake. Rich man wouldn’t give him the crumbs off his table? Not true. Never happened. “What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” He never said it. Same with “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into the kingdom of heaven.” Garbage. Total garbage. I am not a bad person. You don’t get to 306 electoral votes by being a bad person. So I wish you could write something nice but maybe you can’t and that’s OK, too. I can live with that because I fear no evil: for the Lord is with me; and my staff has been a great comfort to me. Tremendous people. Because I know good from bad. OK? I inherited a mess, the instability, divisiveness, darkness, iniquity, leprosy, madmen, but nonetheless the Lord has prepared a tremendous table before me in the presence of my enemies. Beautiful table. Steaks, seafood, tremendous wines, anything I want, and here I am with goodness and mercy following me every single day of my life, not just mercy but goodness too, and we’re making tremendous progress, great numbers getting bigger every day, multitudes gathering everywhere I go, touching the hem of my garment, but the media is still bitter about Hillary losing in a landslide and the Lord anointing my head with oil which people make fun of and that’s OK, let them laugh at my hair, I got 306 Electoral College votes. They said there’s no way to get 222. No way, Jose. I got 306. That’s what I call the cup running over. Filled the cup and then it ran over. The overflow was tremendous. Huge overflow. Biggest overflow ever. Fantastic. Through the ceiling. Stock market up. Good jobs. You name it. So it looks like I am going to be dwelling in the house of the Lord forever and I’m having a good time. I love this. I am having fun.”

  2. Rachel is going to experience the food stamp culture first hand. Good for her – still white and still nuts enough to scare off potential employers.

  3. Keillor’s going to have a lot of people wanting to join this Washington DC congregation when they read this, believing it to be Psalm 151, as read by BHO.

  4. Almost funny,except I doubt the writers honesty.
    My bet is this “Journalist” had that screed prepared for the media roast of Trump, the one Trump said forget about it, so this gets published now.
    So that other Urnalists may bask in this creatures wisdom.
    Now if the writer has form, as in mocking the Black Messiah, most Transparent Administration Evah, I might cut it some slack.
    Course in similar form,anyone have the Muslim Presidents Prayer?
    Oh wait, The Obamanation spoke it himself; “Today is the day, the waters stop rising and Climate Change will trouble us no more”…..I,I,I.
    And where was Garrison K ?
    Lost in one of the 57 States?
    Soon , open season on Liberals.

  5. Immigration harmony will be tested in Canada
    Donald Trump’s victory, Brexit, and the rise of populist politicians across Europe have all centred in large part on immigration.
    A highly emotional subject, it pits the gut feelings of people living in hard-hit economic areas against those in well-to-do urban centres, polarizing citizens among class lines. The result is a potent clash that reverberates throughout societies.
    All of which makes it all the more surprising that successive governments of Canada have managed to sail serenely on. But make no mistake: The same questions that rocked France, the U.K., and the United States are swirling beneath the surface here as well.
    We saw brief flashes of this during the last days of Stephen Harper’s regime. Two issues that emerged in the final days of that government were the wearing of the niqab during citizenship ceremonies and while voting, and increasing the number of refugees accepted into Canada.

    “It’s the fickle nature of weather.”
    “… the Arctic temperature has cooled to the lowest level so far this winter, and that it is also expected to be cool in late summer. What’s behind it? It’s the fickle nature of weather.”
    …-
    “Arctic temperature plunges as weather pattern changes
    Also at the 7:10 mark Bastardi also points out that the Arctic temperature has cooled to the lowest level so far this winter, and that it is also expected to be cool in late summer. What’s behind it? It’s the fickle nature of weather.
    Low Arctic sea ice extents are in fact nothing new. Before the satellite era, Arctic sea ice was also at very low levels, observed back in the 1950s…something alarmists avoid bringing up.”

  7. My perception in the last election was that the Liberals were deliberately exploiting the Muslim immigration issue. The niqab came up because the court case came forth with a judgment at that time. Conservatives had to respond. I felt that for the most part, Conservatives were striking a middle ground — avoiding extremism. But the Liberals were bent on one-upsmanship . . . particularly when it came to the numbers of refugees that would be admitted by Christmas. I thought they were simply trying to out “bid” Conservatives and the NDP. The NDP at least looked at how many refugees it would be reasonable to take in. But I was corrected on this assumption by some Liberal semi-insider who indicated that the Liberals had “negotiated” with other nations to determine how many refugees Canada was to take. I was appalled, frankly. Since the Liberals were not the government at the time, they had no business negotiating with anyone. Does anyone care that our immigration policy is now decided at the UN, rather than by Canadians? Increasingly it appears that the Liberals are making a mess of immigration, and at some point we will have to deal with — too many underqualified newcomers who must be supported indefinitely on Welfare. Some of these are not accepting of traditional Canadian values. We are not a large country and the new refugees from the States — if that number increases in the warmer months — will be a serious burden.

  8. Interesting. Reading your comment at a facile level implies that the liberals were being presumptive. But reading at my normal paranoid level – which has proven more often than not to be correct – one could say that the emigrant nations and the corrupt UN helped control Canada’s election and lay the groundwork for a liberal win. Of course, such a thing could never be looked at critically by the CBC, because the simpleton won. But it does lay some open questions for me to consider. Could it have happened? I know we pride ourselves in never having been molested internationally (god, canadians are sooo good), but there are a lot of natural resources up for grabs in Canada. Especially with a grateful liberal party as winners.

  9. Go with the paranoid. That is most likely correct. I think if any effort was put in to investigating the last election it would not be hard to find a lot of foreign manipulation. Trudeau was the globalist candidate.
