Did you hear the high school football coach that got fired for praying on the field about eight years ago got his job back now? The Supreme Court ruled in his favor. Apparently they said the first amendment applies to everyone. Amen!!! Isn't it sad the young men were allowed to see all kinds of bad examples if they wanted to, like drag Queen shows and other garbage that's out there, but don't harm the young men by praying in front of them. How ridiculous can you get. The world would be so much better off if we had a million coaches like him.

WEF 2024

Someone was bound to say it. Who expected JAMIE DIMON? At WEF??
Mr Dimon lists “good things” DJT accomplished. Imagine that!

NewsNation / JPMorgan CEO warns Democrats about MAGA criticism | The Hill / 5min

Description:
“JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon slammed Democratic messaging about MAGA Republicans,
telling Democrats to “grow up” and “listen” to supporters of former President Trump.

"When people say MAGA, they’re actually looking at people voting for Trump and … they’re basically scapegoating them,”
Dimon said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

“The Hill” panel discusses whether Dimon's comments hold water.”

For me, possibly this ONE MOMENT with Zelensky, may be “The Best” Good Thing. [USE DIPLOMACY, AVOID WAR]
(i wish) ^^Jamie Dimon had mentioned it in his words above in DAVOS 2024.
He wore a Ukraine lapel pin. Some believe this is in support of their war. It likely is.

i wonder what Mr Dimon thinks of this DJT-Zelensky 2019 moment in time:

I think they feared Trump because he was forceful, and unpredictable. They never knew when a surprise stealth attack would happen, like the killing of Soleimani. One day it was in the news, he was killed without any forewarning. With Biden, how many days was his administration warning he will attack, after the three service people were killed? Three days, four days? Plenty of time for them to prepare.

I agree that the killing if Soleimani was a surprise and a shocking move. So there is that.

On the other hand, listening to Republicans and Trump on Ukraine? Vs. Biden? Complete opposite.

Seems like Trump would have rolled right on over and let Russia take Ukraine. He might not have if he was in office.
He may be ramping up his rhetoric just because it is a tool to criticize the incumbent he wishes to replace.
Nonetheless, Ukraine is a big deal, and in the face of it, Biden seems to be more willing to wield the sword than Trump sounds like.

This is the clip i viewed IRT, i think in 2019:

RADIO FREE EUROPE / Trump To Zelenskiy: I Really Hope You Get Together With Putin, 'Solve Your Problem' / 1min

This was very brief, what was meant was/is pure speculation, i’m aware, some speculate awful intentions by DJT. (of course)

i speculate this was good+wise counsel, DJT to Z, i.e., use diplomacy, avoid war!

i further speculate, Zelensky’s “horrified” facial expression was because he’d already conspired with “The Left-West” about magnificent war. By the time Russia acted, The Left-West was ready to go, Zelensky snapped his fingers, off they went.
Choreographed. There was no surprise involved.

It was nothing like Pearl Harbor or 9-11-2001.
It was a couple of years before the U.S. responded to 9-11. (In addition to being all-wrong.)

It was a brief moment. i think DJT was right and his advice was gold. Zelensky was already in deep.
Unfortunately, the massive MIC was “locked+loaded,” it’s almost impossible to stop a party that’s “all dressed up and ready to go.”

Altho i was only vaguely aware of Pr Kate’s illness, surgery, i saw many speculative headlines.
i appreciated DJT speaking against the speculation.

Before her diagnosis of cancer was known:

May 2024 / House Republicans push for Trump to receive Congressional Gold Medal over ‘exceptional leadership’

^^Interesting.

2016-2019 was an amazing time.

Very low inflation.

Good jobs.

Reasonable real estate prices.

Peace in the Middle East.

The Russian bear was contained. Ukraine was a nice place to go as a tourist.

Optimism in the country in general.

It was very heartening to see good, pro-life justices appointed to the Supreme Court.

It is simply an observation.

Obviously, it was not suitable for the global elites to see a somewhat populist leader who was not under their control at all presiding over global peace and global prosperity; they found a way to destroy both of those things in 2020. From 2020 to 2024, we have had:

High inflation, both globally and in America.

Unreasonable, unaffordable real estate prices.

War in the Middle East.

War between Russia and Ukraine.

Pessimism in the country in general.

Pro-abortion people who want to kill babies acting as if the Supreme Court leaving the decisions up to the states is the worst thing that coudl have ever happened to them.

Of course, the wealth of the global elites has only grown larger and larger, at the cost of the average person and the lower middle class. This is not by accident; it is by design.

Top 1,000,000 Reasons We Miss Trump | The Babylon Bee Podcast / 1hr 6min


^^Josh,
your timing. i haven’t had a chance to view this new B BEE video in full.
i’m working on it.

4:00 he likes TACO SALAD

Thanks, t1, but I generally avoid watching videos about (a) politics or (b) for entertainment; the Babylon Bee tends to be both.

These are the big things I do think the Trump presidency did. It was not hold overs from Obama, but things they did that made a big impact.

The Abraham Accords.

Calming North Korea.

Bringing fuel prices down, which affects almost everything since transportation is in about every thing you buy and how you get to where you need to go. By bringing down oil prices by greatly increasing US production, it took the power away from OPEC, Iran, and Russia.

We did see a lot of peace and prosperity in those years.

I do think others could have done the same, but they seem to have chosen not to do so.

I do hope we can eventually get someone who is a decent person and can bring these things, like Vivek, but this thread is not about him.
