POTUS has now been speaking for an hour. Some more highlights: "We must be so strong that no nation will dare challenge us, so powerful that no enemy will dare threaten us and so capable that no adversary can even think about beating us." "We are bringing back a focus on fitness, ability, character, and strength... The purpose of our military is not to protect people's feelings. It's to protect our republic and it's…

POTUS's audience comprises men and women of various ages wearing military uniforms and neat haircuts. They are much more still and quiet than he is accustomed to at political events or campaign rallies. Pool can see several officers sitting in a row looking expressionless and inscrutable with few smiles. POTUS's attacks on Joe Biden have been met with silence. Some of POTUS's lines are eliciting polite ripples of la…

POTUS condemned wokeness in the military, Joe Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan and those who refuse to embrace the name Gulf of America. Some other highlights so far: On ending wars: "The easiest one of them all is Putin. I said, number one, it's a war that would have never happened if I were president. If the election weren't rigged…That one's turned out to be the hardest of them all.” On the Department of War:…

How many federal workers do you plan to lay off? [POTUS] Well, we may do a lot, and that's only because of the Democrats. And as you know, they want to be able to take care of people that have come into our country illegally, and no system can handle that, and so we're totally opposed to that, but we can't take it. We just can't do it. I'd love to do everybody. I'd love to do the whole world, but our country can't h…

The Radical Left’s reign of terror in Portland ends now, with President Donald J. Trump mobilizing federal resources to stop Antifa-led hellfire in its tracks. While Democrat politicians deny reality , it’s obvious what’s happening in Portland isn’t protest; it’s premeditated anarchy that has scarred the city for years — leaving officers battered, citizens terrorized, and property defaced. Since early June , Antifa…
