So yesterday I allowed my unbridled exuberance to get away from me (The Trumpocalypse Picks Up Steam) and today I’m feeling the let down as my feet touch the ground again. That’s okay. It’s better to try your wings once in a while, no harm done. But let’s then look at the negative side of the picture today:
- The wall isn’t built or even funded.
- Thirty million illegal aliens still inhabit the U.S.
- Robert Mueller wants to interview President Trump.
- Justice Kennedy hasn’t ended his reign of judicial terror.
- The Clintons still infest Planet Earth.
- Affirmative action is still the law of the land.
- Smarmy college students still hector the normal people about white privilege.
- Twitter, Google, YouTube, Facebook and Amazon still function as on-line speech police against the Right.
- Virtually every college in the country is a propaganda indoctrination center.
- California and New York (and several other states) criminally interfere with the enforcement actions of the Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents.
- Nancy Pelosi hasn’t been euthanized yet by either PETA or the American Humane Society.
- Rosie O’Donnell hasn’t yet been assigned the status of food aid, rendered into 250,000 MRE and flown to North Korea as part of the peace deal.
Well, okay, those last two were just added for fun but you get the picture. There’s still plenty for President Trump to do in the second half of his first term. I shouldn’t be so happy. It’s unwarranted. And yet I am!
I’m sorry, I can’t feel down. Looking at all these problems only increases my belief that the Republicans despite their epic cowardice and stupidity will benefit from President Trump’s popularity and hold onto the House and Senate. This won’t be for their sake but it will be the American people’s desire to help Donald Trump. And I think the Mueller investigation will end without doing any real damage to the Trump Administration. And I think that Sessions will finally clean out the rat’s nest of cabalists in the Justice Department. And I now believe that President Trump will get to appoint at least one more Supreme Court Justice. And finally, I’ll go out on a limb and say that the Supreme Court will find in favor of the baker in that Gay Marriage Wedding Cake Trial travesty. And that last one is just a hunch. Common sense says that Kennedy will go out with one last assault on normal Americans. But somehow the change in the climate makes me think Kennedy will try and strike a balance if for no other reason than to moderate the anger that is growing on the right toward all these outrages against common decency.
So there it is. I’m slap happy from all the winning. Maybe I’m completely delusional. Time will tell. But the sun is shining, the birds are singing and all’s right with the world in this best of all possible worlds. Well except that Nancy Pelosi and Rosie O’Donnell still walk the earth. Well, that can wait for the second term I guess.
Nah! Not delusional. It is just plain simple really nice to know and see there’s a really decent guy looking out for us best he can. Ask yourself when was the last time in the good ol’ USofA anybody had us dirt peoples backs? Right now they want to get Trump wrestling the alligators in the swamp. He can’t get caught in that trap. He needs to take full power. He’s not there yet but it’s coming. The guy is fighting the globalists and their western hemisphere crime syndicate. The neocons of both factions of the uniparty.

On a slightly different note, what do you think will end up happening in the West Virginia Senate election. Are there any good guys in it?
Yeah. Morris may win. Blankenship lost in the primary. Blew huge money. I worked for him when he ran Massey Energy on his personal ADD CAR highway miners. We broke the worlds record for total coal mined in 24 hours. The SOB cheated us out of OT & holiday pay, gave us straight rate and said not a single coal miner in his company was worth more that 15 bucks an hour. (We mined coal at $24 per ton with the highway system, he got $175 per ton) They don’t come much more corrupt than he, except for Manchin, (and… Read more »
My bad. Thats Morrisey. Looks like he wins Manchin’s seat. Minchin is done. The guy is reviled more than Blankenship. These Hillbillies never forget when you betray them. Rightfully so. Something else happened too, I believe somebody has reeled in the vote fraud the left was using to keep power. They own the precinct system. You can’t even find who is in it, whose the Captains, Zilch… But something happened. No details, only a far more realistic vote count. Might have to do with Constitutional Carry passed last year funny as it sounds. The Republican’s in the state house have… Read more »
I’m glad to hear that a red state pick up in the Senate for the Republicans is likely. Manchin was described in the press as a conservative Democrat whatever that means. Glad to hear he’s not well-liked because I know he voted for lots of liberal causes like Obamacare. Does Morrisey have a reputation one way or the other?
You can imagine if they are calling Munchkin a “conservative democrat, an oxymoron if I ever seen one, SOP lies and grand dissimulation. He is a political marxist agent provocateur through and through. The creep ran against a pretty decent guy last congressional race. Regular dude, real family guy. Christian and fiscal orientated. The race was too close to count, Munchkin came out with a TV ad of him shooting a bolt gun and saying something inane about “gun rights”, like he was the universes sole advocate of the 2nd Amendment. It was enough for him to squeak by via… Read more »
Well good. Maybe Morrisey will be an upgrade.
Dude! What is it with this spell check lately? You notice? Are they running an algorithm designed to change the English Language? I never seen so many weird corrections and stupid substitutes.
I’ve given up trying to get the damn thing to behave. The worst is when it skips around on the page for no apparent reason.
Don’t put nothing past them.
Great photo’s by the way, of the Teton’s. Must be a challenge finding just the right light and context.
Thanks. Actually the photo editing software has gotten so powerful that even if the photo is too dark you can adjust it back to sunny day conditions. I used a very wide lens on a lot of these and cropped it down to the interesting part of the picture. In fact the lens is so wide that a couple of times my feet showed up at the bottom of the frame!
It must be pretty awesome to have a subject matter to photograph like Ansel Adams. Who doesn’t appreciate the majesty and grandeur of natures granite monoliths and the lighting at that latitude.
Is the challenge getting it right where the viewer feels like they are there? How do you capture the perspective of the size of it? Is it angles or the perfect light? Distance?
It was a very inspirational landscape to shoot in. A lot of the photos were shot with an extremely wide angle lens (10mm) so after the fact I could crop them in what looked good to my eye. Unfortunately a very wide angle lens can cause terrible distortion. But you live and you learn.
