One day when I was a boy sitting in front of the black-and-white TV in our family room, a sports reporter interviewed a young man by the name of Cassius Clay. He was getting ready to fight the then–heavyweight champion of the world, Floyd Patterson. The press and fans loved Floyd Patterson. He was a proper gentleman: soft-spoken and...well, a real nice guy who knew how to stay in his lane.
With the microphone in front of him, the young man took no time in letting the reporter and world know that he was going to give the reigning champ a "whooping."

The author has bollixed up his boxing history. Ali had already been champ for about a year when he first fought Patterson. Patterson hadn’t been champ for about three years.

"Are the media and the rest of the ideologues that stupid?"
Perhaps not stupid but certainly indoctrinated, misinformed, coddled, and incompetent to the point where they are completely dysfunctional. Their thinking has been devolved to talking points that they can parrot. "Thinking" to them is to try to find clever ways to inject their beliefs into others. They never question what they are trying to accomplish or examine the consistent failure of their ideas. To be sure, there are those at the top who know exactly what they are doing, trying to destroy America and the concepts she stands for.
"He's (Trump has) exposed the swamp creatures for the frauds they are."
And THAT is why they hate him. He is destroying their childish world and they are reacting like angry children with the competence of children.
"when the dust settles, Donald Trump will be regarded as the greatest president our country has ever had"
That may be true. Fighting shooting wars is easy compared to what Trump is facing. He is facing a well entrenched, and often hidden enemy who has been taught to hate this Country. They have infiltrated the government and culture. Worst, they are our fellow citizens. Trump has to find them, pry their grasping hands off the levers of power, and as gently as possible, set them aside where they will do less harm. Unfortunately, he is unaided by a significant timid middle citizenry who can't recognize the danger we face and are too scared to deal with it, even when Trump is doing all the heavy lifting. They whine about Trump's style and aggressiveness without seeing the reason and absolute need for it. Trump throws a punch and they moan "Why did he have to do that?" instead of appreciating that Trump has moved them a step closer to restoring their Country to the restoration of its ideals.

He's a citizen president, which is what the founders envisioned, not an ensconced career politician primarily concerned with building up a power base to stay in office forever.

#2, he also got the year wrong on PDT and Melania descending the escalator. That was 2015, not 2016.

He's the greatest. And he is purty! I love the analogy.

I heard an amusing anecdote about Ali just yesterday. At the pinnacle of his career, when Ali was gettin' a bit too big for his britches, he boarded a plane and sat down in first class where he decided he didn't need to wear his seat belt. A flight attendant came by and said, "Sir, please buckle your seat belt. We're about to take off." Ali replied, "Superman don't need no seat belt." To which the flight attendant replied, "Superman don't need no plane. Buckle your seat belt."

I watched Olympic films of Clay. I had never seen or imagined the speed at which his punches landed. His boxing was fast and good.

I hope that Trump/Pence can win it. The Dems are pulling out all the stops, the NeverTrump backstabbers who pretend to be Republicans and conservatives, and much of the worthless commentariat class are joining in stabbing the President and all us 'deplorables' in the back, while calling all of us racists, etc. On top of that, they are unlimbering their violent street thugs and their corrupt voter fraud thugs, many who actually RUN the voting operations in big cities. There is a huge array of leftists and tyrants and their thugs arrayed against the President and the faithful-to-the-Constitution votes.
I hope we can win. Nothing will keep me from voting.

One of the most memorable things Ali said when he came back from one of his international bouts was that he sure was glad his ancestors were brought to the United States. That was an amazing statement to make in that era, and I still remember that. He knew how good the American black community had it then, and even more so has it now.
Most of us believe that Trump had Divine help to get elected in 2016, has had Divine protection ever since then. When God is for you, nobody can beat you.
