Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

So much winning, so little time (passed)…
If the Dems thought their contrived appearance was any sort of advertising campaign for themselves, they really are missing the mark. Whoever is charged with the messaging and optics of the Dems needs to call their office.
AND…can someone get Pelosi a pair of dentures that fit? Or had she reached hour 13 of her SeaBond’s life? I’m sure the Dems couldn’t hear some of what Trump said for the clacking sounds.
The Dems came across as bitter and sullen to say the least. They simply looked beaten, and now Kennedy’s spittle-laden ‘official response’ is getting them tons of attention…. for exactly ALL the wrong reasons.
CNN was so caught off guard by Trump’s performance that their assembled talking heads struggled to establish any real criticisms of it for the first few minutes. Of course, that didn’t sit well with the hate-mongering Van Jones who finally jumped in in an effort to ramp up the emotion of the panel and inspire their anti-Trump rhetoric. That was all I needed to see and checked out right then.
I understand that some of my fellow conservatives dislike Trump, he has a polarizing personality. But how any true conservative could denounce his performance in SINGLE-HANDEDLY taking on the organized and destructive forces of international globalization and winning…. well you can only be a friggin’ RINO/CINO. For that matter, I am almost as happy there is no Rubio or Cruz in the WH as I am there is no Clinton. MAGA
lol !
Hmmmm…let’s see how the media handles that one. Oh right, Jake Tapper tweets out that the catch phrase resonated with David Duke…so it must be racist.
AOSHQ: ““The applause and cheering from the pro-American side of the room rattled Palsi Pelosi’s dentures and made Chuck Schemer’s corn rows stand on end.””
*MadeMeLaugh
I thought this address was moving, interesting and Trump’s best effort so far.
The way he wove real people into the themes and narratives was spectacular. Another realist President; finally.
Of course the Dems sulked during this fine speech, even that 12 year old and his 40K grave markers couldn’t get DeMarxist butts off seats.
The public seems to agree on Trump’s strong messaging:
“3 in 4 Americans who tuned in to President Trump’s State of the Union address tonight approved of the speech he gave. Just 1/4 disapproved.”
Eight in 10 Americans who watched tonight felt that the president was trying to unite the country, rather than divide it. Two-thirds said the speech made them feel proud, though just a third said it made them feel safer. Fewer said the speech made them feel angry or scared.”
This is all pre-FISAgate – I doubt its revelations will make Americans feel safer or proud. The Deminfants are due a big owie.

“I understand that some of my fellow conservatives dislike Trump, he has a polarizing personality”. C Observer
He is a New Yorker…understanding & speaking NY takes time….nothing to like if you don’t speak NY
We can also dream that the MSM will realize that ALL their Russian STORY Sources will be named in the MEMO…. What will they say? Sorry we faked the soap opera nonsense… I am afraid they will be gone for good once folks connect their faked NEWS & naked Entertainment ratings
Rush Limbaugh in the opening declaration of this mornings show, has mentioned the millions of regular Americans that are dreamers as well.
ACLU complains that President Trump mentions the word “American” more than 80 times. I guess that’s a problem?
and,
42% approval from declared Democrats for President Trump’s SOTU speech. That’s a big problem for the Democrats.
How do you malign a President of the opposing party that’s drawn that high a percentage of your own? Do you campaign against the President, and 42% of your own? Or do you continue to drive your bus into the ditch?
Good luck with that asshats. and drooling Kennedy… uff.
.
On never wasting a crisis…or Making America Creepy…
http://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/trump-says-will-hard-unify-country-without-major-event/217624
Trump says it will be hard to unify country without a ‘major event’
“I would love to be able to bring back our country into a great form of unity,” Trump said. “Without a major event where people pull together, that’s hard to do. But I would like to do it without that major event because usually that major event is not a good thing.”
Mr. Trump is such a unique Candidate and POTUS, that sadly, we may never see ever again. For that reason … HE MUST gain a second term. What do I mean? Trump is beholden to no one. No single entity(s) funded Trump’s campaign. Nobody “owns” Trump … not even the GOP. For that reason alone, Trump can be FEARLESS in his governnance. The only one who can beat Trump … is Trump (I believe Rush Limbaugh made the same observation). The Dem’s carp on about “campaign reform” … while collecting $Billions from anti-American special interests. Trump managed to gain the presidency without selling his soul to financiers.
We may NEVER see another candidate quite like him. Treasure him. Support him. Let him know what you want. What you think. He can and will actually LISTEN to the people.
“The Dems who came to hear the president looked like the unhappiest people on Earth.”
And that is….Wait for it….because they are the unhappiest people on Earth.
I said here long before Trump was elected that: Trump is using the Democrat’s OWN Playbook against them; and they have no idea what to do about it!
He clobbered the GOP field in the same manner. Why discuss policy when you can demean your opponents?
I would never vote for Rubio, he literally has no life qualifications for POTUS; he only has political qualifications.
DJT was the ONLY man in America that could beat the Hillary/Dems/DNC/FBI/DOJ/MSM/SM
Trump came off sounding rational and even inspirational.
I believe that is the point of these State of the Union addresses.
The Democrats showed up just to appear huffy. They go out of their way to appear like angry teen-agers mad at dad. It’s tiresome.
https://www.thestar.com/news/world/analysis/2018/01/31/donald-trump-made-12-false-claims-in-his-state-of-the-union-address.html
Unfortunately,this is what most Canadians will be reading today.
It’s like for 50 years the Democrats have promised Black Americans a pony to be their friend.
Trump just gave them a pony.
It kind of looked like Nancy and a few others had taken a bite out a huge sh*thole sandwich and found it quite distasteful.
“…The Dems who came to hear the president looked like the unhappiest people on Earth.”
They should always wear that look, it really suits them.

Ron Paul Just Destroyed Trump’s Hypocritical Speech in an EPIC Tweet Storm
Later on in his speech, Trump declared that it is the federal government’s job to keep Americans safe—completely ignoring the fact that safety is mentioned nowhere in the Constitution.
“My duty, and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber, is to defend Americans — to protect their safety, their families, their communities, and their right to the American Dream. Because Americans are dreamers too,” said Trump, to which Paul retorted.

@RonPaul
Prime function of the Federal government is NOT protecting our safety! It is the preservation of our Liberty. That forgotten word… #SOTU
7:54 PM – Jan 30, 2018
You are 100% accurate ! Trump was the ONLY candidate that could defeat the Corporate-Political-Complex. For YEARS … the GOPe lectured the base that they HAD to “run to the middle”. We were scolded that we needed candidates who were “liked” by the Left … ex. John McCain. Mr. Moderate McCain was then depicted by the Left looking like Pennywise the Stephen King clown … dripping blood from his sharpened teeth. Yeah … then Romney … Mr. Socialized Medicine. How’d that work out for US? *sigh* 8-Years of a US Socialist Premiere masquerading as a POTUS. America was READY for a bomb-throwing, plain-speaking man who feared no one and nothing. They couldn’t even TOUCH him with a secret tape of his pu$$y-grabbing jibber-jabber. MY President is ironclad. Enormously flawed … enormously human … enormously truthful … enormously PRESIDENTIAL.
BTW … MY President is sitting with small business owners and American workers discussing how the TAX CUT has impacted their businesses and lives. Listening. To American WORKERS. And Businesspeople. Right Now (on OAN … the ONLY truly conservative news source). Face to face. Not talking AT these wonderful American MAKERS … but listening … and HEARING. By contrast … our prior half-Black, half-assed POTUS would be meeting in the White House Basement with Louis Farrakhan … or The Muslim Brotherhood. Muslim Terrorists that have NO RIGHT to be a “Dreamer” in America.
Meanwhile Nancy Pelosi is still flailing-away like a little yap dog (sorry Kate) barking and nipping at the heels of the REAL American DREAMERS. It’s time for someone to turn the garden hose on her.
The Trump Tax Cut ALONE has restored MORE LIBERTY to the American people than any other POTUS in the HISTORY of our Country (sorry Reaganites).
Life, Liberty, and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS (the capital letters are translated as: $$$ … the freedom to earn, and KEEP your own $$$).
I am THRILLED with the LIBERTY MY President has restored to me. I value many of the issues Rand Paul embraces … but the man is a LOONEY hardcore BIG-L Libertarian, Isolationist. Completely unhinged. No matter how hard he tries … he cannot make America into some neo-Pangea Island nation. Completely cut off from the rest of the world.
As I watched the speech, I noted about five times somebody was sure to nitpick, inject their own biases and come to ridiculous conclusions.
Your reference quote was one of them. Congratulations. First on my list was Trump obviously lying about “religion and creed.”
Really creepy of you; and Mr Paul, safety and liberty are hand in glove, de facto synonymous; iow more irrelevance from the Demenablers.
Are you a Cannibal Conservative too Straddlingvarious?
In the Federal Government, in order for an official to take office, he or she must first take the oath of office; this is also known as a swearing-in ceremony. The official reciting the oath swears an allegiance to uphold the Constitution. The Constitution only specifies an oath of office for the President.
Uh…Liberty…Really,
You and Ron Paul should read his oath of office before making a stupid comment or text.
Really creepy of you; and Mr Paul, safety and liberty are hand in glove, de facto
You can take that up with Jesus the Christ when He returns as King of kings…
1Th_5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Vice Presidency oath of office
“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the “”Constitution”” of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same: that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and I will and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
There is that word “”Constitution”” again;
I guess the VP doesn’t have to protect liberty or safety.
The “”Constitution”” has many commands or translations, but the Supreme Court can decide which one is being misused.
Then we have to have an amendment to uphold their decision.
Some of the Supreme Court justice were clapping when he said Safety.. So I guess it was OK.
Life, Liberty, and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS (the capital letters are translated as: $$$ … the freedom to earn, and KEEP your own $$$).
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
…safety and liberty are hand in glove, de facto
You are at liberty to get out of bed, but it may not be safe to get out of bed…
My BIGGEST disappointment in last nights SOTU ? Not seeing Justice Ginsberg sleeping on camera. Her slumbers are a regular fixture at the SOTU. I missed her head, back, eyes closed, open maw, with a Kennedy III (the THIRD) bit of drool escaping the corner of her lip.
PS … she’s not gonna survive the Trump Presidency with her Weekend at SCOTUS act.
hey STRAP-ON, you taking up the slack that UNthing is leaving by it’s absence.
And an a$$hole like you trying pass off to your imaginary god, you are stupid on over drive!!!
So tonight, I call on the Congress to empower every Cabinet secretary with the authority to reward good workers — and to remove federal employees who undermine the public trust or fail the American people.
Brilliant … fkcuing brilliant! And be assured that the GOOD, HARDWORKING, conscientious Federal employees will gladly welcome their bonus with the same zeal as the dead wood s#it workers FEAR their own TERMINATION.
Contract Law 101 … every penalty clause demands a reward clause
Many car companies are now building and expanding plants in the United States — something we haven’t seen for decades. Chrysler is moving a major plant from Mexico to Michigan; Toyota and Mazda are opening up a plant in Alabama, a big one, and we haven’t seen this in a long time. It’s all coming back. Very soon, auto plants and other plants will be opening up all over our country. This is all news Americans are totally unaccustomed to hearing — for many years, companies and jobs were only leaving us. But now they are roaring back they are coming back they want to be where the action is. They want to be in the United States of America.
Exciting progress is happening every single day
Let me guess … Alabama is a “Right to work” State (aka NON UNION). America was scolded and TOLD (mostly by the interlocking corporate political shills at the WSJ) that … MANUFACTURING IS NEVER COMING BACK TO AMERICA!!!! Trump was MOCKED on the campaign trail by (Globalist) opponents who INSISTED that manufacturing jobs were NEVER coming back to America. No … instead all you young Americans should learn to compile computer code … so you can eventually train your CHEAP dot.Indian replacement at HALF your wage.
All I can say is that the American people have grown weary of being LIED to. LIED to by all the self-proclaimed “experts” with letters after their names (or a III, if you’re a Kennedy spawn). We are TIRED of being LIED to.
But we are still NOT tired of all this WINNING!!!
We also believe that patients with terminal conditions, terminal illness, should have access to experimental treatments immediately that could potentially save their lives.
People who are terminally ill should not have to go from country to country to seek a cure — I want to give them a chance right here at home. It is time for the Congress to give these wonderful incredible Americans the “right to try.”
This is one that puts me on the fence. When my only brother was dying of a rare and horribly aggressive lymph cancer … I would have tried ANYTHING to save his life. And therein lies the problem, Mr. Trump. Desperate people are THE most vulnerable victims of Fraud. Medical Fraud. When my Father-in-Law suffered a debilitating stroke, my criminal brother in law … for unscrupulous reasons … searched the Internet and found a Quack-clinic in FL that promised to “reverse” strokes. Their methodology? Blood thinners. Coumadin … as ubiquitous a drug as exists. But Dr. Hammasfahr had a “special” procedure for CURING strokes. For lots, and lots, of $$$$. It seems that the State of FL takes in massive tax dollars by providing a haven for Medical Fraudsters. I seem to recall that the overwhelming majority of Medicare FRAUD originates in FL. So my mother in law spent $ hundreds of thousands of dollars in FL … for nothing. Not a bit of improvement. What did my larcenous brother in law get out of this? That is a much, much, longer story
I was fortunate to have taken my own brother to the Stanford Medical center where he received first; the state of the art protocol treatment for his type of cancer. When the initial improvements faded, his (simply incredible) Oncologist put my brother on a new experimental treatment protocol. And even though it didn’t work in the end, I was assured that my brothers death provided valuable data and experience in the treatment of his particular lymph cancer. All under the care of LEGITIMATE Physicians.
America has also finally turned the page on decades of unfair trade deals that sacrificed our prosperity and shipped away our companies, our jobs, and our wealth. Our nation has lost its wealth, and we’re getting it back so fast.
The era of economic surrender is totally over.
I can still hear squealing of of the corporate PIGS at the WSJ … Clarrrrriccee. WINNING!!!!
Young patriots like Preston teach all of us about our civic duty as Americans. And I met Preston a little while ago, and he is something very special. That I can tell you. Great future. Thank you very much for all you’ve done. Preston’s reverence for those who have served our nation reminds us why we salute our flag, why we put our hands on our hearts for the Pledge of Allegiance, and why we proudly stand for the national anthem.
Americans love their country. And they deserve a government that shows them the same love and loyalty in return.
I’m going out on a limb here … and predicting that the upcoming Super Bowl viewership will be -25% from last years. Kneel on THAT and spin on it … anti-American thug-signalers
PS … how can the NFL continue to DRUG TEST and punish their players for smoking DOPE … when smoking Dope is just as LEGAL as disrespecting our Flag in many many States?
Last year, the Congress passed, and I signed, the landmark VA Accountability Act. Since its passage, my administration has already removed more than 1,500 VA employees who failed to give our veterans the care they deserve — and we are hiring talented people who love our vets as much as we do.
And I will not stop until our veterans are properly taken care of, which has been my promise to them from the very beginning of this great journey.
I seem to recall a POTUS named Bush … and Hussein-Obama … give lip service to the VA problem … and NOBODY was EVER FIRED for KILLING Veterans on interminable WAIT lists …
Pickering on that subject

So government is the same as God eh? Using money wisely is the same as replacing God with it is it? Love God not money.
You should know self-righteousness is a sin? We all need to work on that. Look in mirror.
Judge not let you be judged yourself. I am ready for God’s judgment. Are you?
I Wholly 1000% percent agree with you Kenj..
I have watched SOTU addresses for a number of decades…Aside from Reagans in I think it was 81, this was still the absolute best of the bunch. He was strong, clear headed, and put forth a conciliatory move…acknowledged that he would do what the PEOPLE voted for and wanted him to do…..and what did I see..?
A bunch of FAT Useless cows checking their freaking facebook and twitter feeds…?? I was floored. Such unbelievable arrogance and total DISRESPECT…Un F’n Real.!! Swamp alright…disgusting P’cs of Shit the lot of them.
They couldn’t even get off their FAT ASSES to stand for those who had given so much to their Country. That kind of crap makes my blood boil..be it in Canada which we see so often from the Liberal Party and its lead Buffoon…or in the USA.
Carry on Mr President..youhave supporters far beyond your borders.
7 more years please..!!
I wouldnt wipe My (_i_) with that dirt rag…
Judge not let you be judged yourself. I am ready for God’s judgment. Are you?
Happily, judgement is rewards, Christians, upon true repentance, are judged sinless.
1Co 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
The proverbial turds will hit the proverbial fam once the FISA Momo becomes public.
The question becomes…what will the MSM do..? CALL IT A Lie…?? they HAve no choice but to do so…all their screeching has been based on their alternative facts that the Trump Team actively colluded with Russians to rig the election.
To find that the DNC, HRC, Members of the DOJ and FBI were ACTUALLY trying to Frame an incoming President…?? would literally blow their MINDS/fuses and one could see some very strange things happening after the fact. To me their activities in this scandal should be considered at best, active Anti-American subversion and in reality, should be tried as De-facto saboteurs – TRAITORS.
“Prime function of the Federal government is NOT protecting our safety! It is the preservation of our Liberty. That forgotten word…”
The prime function of any national government is the maintenance of the country’s sovereignty. Without it, everything else is moot.
“Donald Trump is teaching Republicans how to fight”
This means literally nothing. Trump has achieved barely dick all in his year in office. The GOP doesn’t need to learn how to ‘fight’. It needs a cogent, sane policy platform. It needs to modernize. It needs to die.
The jobs are never coming back. They’ve been automated away. Good riddance. Manufacturing is going the way of farming. It just isn’t the future.
And what should really blow American minds is the complete and total collusion by the ENTIRE … FBI, DOJ, Obama White House and Cabinet, EVERY DEMOCRAP member of Congress, and the DNC. Each and every one of these people has remained silent and chose NOT to report the CRIMES being committed by their fellow Agents. Each and every Democrap member of Congress who pushed this FALSE narrative of Russian collusion KNEW it was ALL based on a FRAUDULENT, manufactured, make-believe, dossier created for the sole purpose of SPYING on an opposition political Candidate. These are not “ordinary crimes” against your average fellow citizen. These are CRIMES against our Country. These are Constitutional Crimes. And it was perpetrated as a conspiracy.
Deserving of LIFE prison sentences in Leavenworth Federal Pen … or DEATH by firing squad. And as far as the “rank and file” FBI and DOJ Agents being innocent, hardworking public servants ? Rubbish. They KNEW what had happened … but chose SILENCE for political reasons, or for job preservation. Either way … they are co-conspirators and should be FIRED … without pay or pension. Time to rebuild from the ground up … just as Reagan did with the ENTIRE Air Traffic Controllers. Start over. Start HONEST. Start LOYAL. Start fresh.
Huh? So why move the factories to Mexico, if everything is automated ? More highly educated technically qualified robot mechanics? Cheaper lubrication crews, squirting oil ?
Oops, that takes LOGIC, and deductive reasoning. Perhaps you are not quite high-enough functioning for such things. I apologize for your UN comfortable-ness
There are some manufacturing jobs left, but they’re going to get automated too.
Also, Mexico is better on trade than America. Mexico has a lot of FTAs. At this rate, it’ll be a better place to do business than the rest of North America in my lifetime.
Do you have a special school where you get taught how to be stupid,or are you just born that way?
