A tale of a two-faced Trump

Yesterday, I wrote this post about Gov. DeSantis's interview with Mark Levin of Life, Liberty & Levin fame. I included this CBS article in my post. The CBS article includes the report that Donald Trump was so excited to endorse then-Rep. DeSantis that he didn't even wait until DeSantis announced his candidacy to endorse Gov. DeSantis.

In the tweet, Trump wrote "Congressman Ron DeSantis is a brilliant young leader, Yale and then Harvard Law, who would make a GREAT Governor of Florida. He loves our Country and is a true FIGHTER." The tweet is dated 12:40 PM · Dec 22, 2017.

That's significant because this article is titled "Trump claims Ron DeSantis cried in front of him while asking for his endorsement back in 2018." The latter article is dated Feb 2, 2023, 11:34 PM CST. One of the things that Trump insists happened was that "There were tears coming down from his eyes. He said: 'If you endorse me, I'll win.'" Also according to the article, "Donald Trump claims Ron DeSantis cried while asking for his endorsement in 2018."

The lies don't stop there. Trump's lies are glaring:

According to Trump: "He was 1 of 150 people doing TV defending me and he was no Jim Jordan. I mean I had a lot of people that defended me great but he was good and he defended me. And so, all of a sudden, he's running for governor and people didn't view him as a governor because he was a congressman defending me."

Trump's timeline doesn't fit with reality. First, the Trump impeachment hearings didn't start until 2020. Multiple times, Greg Gutfeld has told the story that impeachment got in the way of Democrats noticing COVID. COVID didn't start until March, 2020. OOPS! DeSantis became Governor in Jan., 2019.

Further, as I stated, Trump's endorsement tweet is dated 12:40 PM · Dec 22, 2017:

Apparently, Trump isn't afraid to tell whoppers. This isn't surprising since 3 of Trump's highest-profile employees are Michael Cohen (convicted), Paul Manafort (convicted) and Roger Stone (convicted). Trump pardoned Manafort and Stone. But I digress.

Why would Gov. DeSantis cry while begging Trump for his endorsement when Trump endorsed DeSantis for governor before DeSantis announced his run for governor? Better yet, why would Gov. DeSantis beg Trump for Trump's endorsement when Trump had already endorsed Gov. DeSantis?

Finally, why should we vote for a candidate who's certain to get impeached again if Democrats regain the majority again? Trump is a lame duck president from Day One in that scenario. Don't we deserve a president that's energetic, who gets things done and who isn't a bald-faced liar? Trump is a liar and he's undisciplined. Those spots won't change anytime soon.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
