Tom Klingenstein, a writer, speaker, and playwright, explains why conservatives should support Donald Trump in the "war against the woke regime." [Snip] TOM KLINGENSTEIN: Now that former President Trump is the Republican nominee for President in 2024, it’s time for Republicans, including those who doubt him or even can’t stand him, to get behind him. [Snip] We shouldn’t much care whether our commander-in-chief is a real conservative, [Snip] What we should care about is whether he knows we are in a war, knows who the enemy is, and knows how to win. Trump does.

FTA: “Trump is the most towering figure of our time. He has changed politics, not just in America but in the West. If we are to take back America, we need someone who is unmovable, who has proven that he can stand up against the immensely powerful army of woke modernity that will attack him with all its might, someone who will go after the deep state without pity or compassion and someone who has the conviction that America is still the last best hope of earth. That someone is Trump. “Trump the politician came out of the blue. An unconventional commander against an unconventional enemy. Almost inconceivable as President at any other time, Trump fits this turbulent moment to a tee. Is it too much to wonder whether the appearance of this most unconventional man is providential? Lincoln spoke of Americans as the “almost chosen” people. Trump gives us hope that the God who has never forsaken his “almost chosen” people will not do so now.” This article covers a portion of a two-part series authored by Mr. Klingenstein (Chairman, Claremont Institute and former President of Hillsdale College) which is available at the link posted below. https://radiopatriot.net/2024/04/08/trumps-virtues/ Trump’s Virtues President Lincoln also said, “My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.” May patriotic Americans do their part on their knees in prayer and on November 5, 2024. ~ “The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.” (Dietrich Bonhoeffer - A Lutheran pastor, theologian, anti-Nazi dissident known for his staunch resistance to the Nazi dictatorship that included vocal opposition to Hitler's euthanasia program and genocidal persecution of the Jews. Pastor Bonhoeffer, at the age of 39, was hanged on April 9, 1945 as the Nazi regime was collapsing.)

I wouldn't vote for Donald Trump for Pope (even if I was Catholic, though he would probably make a better Pope than the current one). Trump is a flawed, and not a true conservative. He made a lot of mistakes in his first term -- most especially surrounding himself with very flawed people. But he is a great leader, and stands very strong on the issues that are life and death for our republic right now. And he is about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000+++++ times better than the dementia-raddled evil idiot who was appointed president in the last election by stealing the election. So I will crawl over AIDS-infected needles and broken glass, with Oprah and Mikey Moore strapped to my back, to vote for Donald Trump in November!!!!!! The alternative is the end of our republic, and probably Civil War 2!!!!!

If times were normal Trump would not be running. But they are decisively not. The People know it. I am hanging on the slender hope that his margin of victory will be beyond the evil, foul grasp of ballot fraud.

Sometimes you need a general, sometimes you need a statesman. We started out with George Washington who was both, now we have Donald Trump. Support him or watch the country die under your feet.

Finland’s Supreme Court has announced it will take up a contentious case against a Christian politician who has faced a years-long legal battle for sharing her biblical views on sexuality. Dr. Päivi Räsänen, the Finnish politician who was once again victorious in court this past November, will continue her battle after the prosecutor appealed to the nation’s high court. [Snip] In the trial that concluded in November, Räsänen said the prosecutor argued she’s allowed to “believe in her mind whatever about the Bible, but it is illegal to express it outwardly.”

The committee voted nine to three, with all four Democrats on the committee voting with five Republicans to move a rule to the House floor, which, if passed with Democrat support as expected, would allow votes on Johnson’s foreign aid package, including a bill that includes tens of billions to fund Ukraine.
