Morning bump: Full transcript here.
Live audience reaction.

Post speech survey says: “82% called the speech ‘Presidential’, including a majority of Democrats.” But the most surprising comments of the night came from CNN’s Van Jones;

I’m no longer a Democrat (it’s been many years now), and though on the rarest of occasions I worried I’d made a mistake, Tuesday night watching the shell-shocked faces of the Democrats on the floor of Congress while Donald Trump delivered his magnificent speech, I knew I had made no error. I even wondered what was going on in my head in those isolated moments I doubted myself.

  1. I am a small c conservative… and I was one of the 1st to support and predict a Trump Win.
    I abandoned the so called “real conservatives” when Carly Fiorina exposed them all as impotent.
    “Real conservatives” can shove their haughty “purity” up their backsides.
    There is NOTHING conservative about getting nothing done.
    Cheers

  2. BTW… as I was writing… Rush just said “those dems wearing all white yesterday looked a lot like the clan”.
    Drop the mic.

  3. Trump’s impressive speech was aimed at RINOs and establishment Republicans, to corner them into his agenda, sounding moderate and conservative.
    As for the Dems, they’ll fight him every step of the way, and progressives managed to display a trifecta of disrespect with Judge Ginsberg’s boycott (not Dubya either); Dem legislators rudely rushing for the exits at speech’s end; and leaving the minority response to a retired governor, the first time a sitting legislator didn’t provide the customary response to a presidential speech to Congress.
    Van Jones and Roger Simon are right, the Dems are setting the stage for further decline in voter support, as they arrogantly assume they can jump right back into power starting in 2018. The Grits went through the same hoops after their 2006 defeat, assuming their birthright of power would be returned to them, and remained in the political wilderness for nearly 10 years, rescued by voter disengagement, Tory fatigue, political mendacity and an enabling and unethical media, fashioning a false narrative of Harper which they then shone a light on as the “truth,” all the while lying their butts off.
    Trump has learned his role of POTUS well which he proved last night. People now say he will tone down with the twitter and other utterings. I say he won’t, for three reasons: First, he has to know what happened to Harper and will chip away at fake news so no edifice in waiting can grow or gain momentum; second, he plays by his rules not the establishment’s; and three, he has won, won, won doing that.
    Meanwhile, the left implodes with Oprah planning an Obama black in the saddle to get his vote back in, as temper tantrums and screw ups from the celebrity world lose steam, as Obama himself is forced to back away from supporting a neo-insurgency BLM inspired Soros brown shirt thug fest.
    Their horse lost the races, all of them. They’ve lost the purse, all of it. These are not happy times for Dems, as we see with their long faces.

  4. And we don’t want all those “poor poor refugees” who appear to all be single males from somewhere else and can afford luggage and cab rides to the border. I feel sorry for Manitoba which is going bear the brunt of this invasion.
    Build that wall! Or at least arrest the illegals and send them back to wherever they want to go be it the US or Kenya or Eretreia.

  5. Thanks; can’t take the credit though. I got it from a review of a black western a few years back.

  6. Zero, I man Uno, don’t let facts interfere with your false narratives:
    “Data showed U.S. manufacturing expanded last month at the fastest pace in three years and an acceleration in German inflation added to signs of momentum in Europe’s largest economy. While Donald Trump provided few specifics in his address to Congress, he reiterated broad proposals for boosting spending and cutting taxes that reinforced views that his administration will seek pro-growth policies.”
    It’s called confident markets. Then again markets could be wrong and you and Veronique could be right. Not really, just kidding.

    BTW, the article you cited is full of slanted, specious and speculative nonsense masquerading as conservative thinking; OMG Trump might spend “more.”
    In the zero sum world of statist progressives, tax cuts (benefiting the rich who don’t pay any) mean less revenues and other such economic illiteracy.

  7. Not my problem if you can’t get your s**t together. I bought my present house in 1998 and it’s worth almost three times what I paid. Gold did well too.
    If I bought my house in 2007, given values then, it would still be 20% higher, and that’s in the “bubble” Victoria market.
    Assigning value of economies to the price of gold, up 5% last 30 days btw), is a fools errand for serious investors, like speculating with a low growth asset, the risk reward is out of whack.
    Tell me more about your specious mongoloid comment.
    I didn’t explain what I meant by slanted, specious and speculative because you indicated your financial illiteracy; so juice not worth squeeze.
    Where did you back up your arguments, except for others’ common sense free opinions. Is that mongoloid, I’m not sure.
    Politics by insult – the progressive and neanderthal so-called conservative way. Why would any reasonable person argue with your emotion driven ideas?
    IOW, do your own research, I’m not interested in spoon feeding Uno. Call Billy Devane and buy some more gold if you want.
