Just a few quick thoughts on Trump's address to the Congress.

First, he handed them their lunches. He pointed out exactly why America is in the current dilemma it is in and placed the blame where it belonged. It's well past time someone did that.

A liberal family member complained about the speech, saying Trump was embarassing and combative. When did she expect? These were people who FRAMED him for false crimes and tried to put him in prison for no other reason than that he beat them. And they succeeded in at least one state court before a partisan judge. Why wouldn't Trump call them out? Why wouldn't he put pressure on them.

THEY understood that, which is why they went into this thing ready to disrupt the proceedings, which tthey did, most especially Rep. Al Green who stood there pointing a cane (which could be construed as a weapon and should have been taken away from him) and shouting over the President. I was thrilled to see Speaker Mike Johnson (who I usually call Tiny but won't this day) had the man tossed from the room. But they were abusive in other ways, booing and catcalling and waving pre-printed signs that said "LIES!" on them. Republicans have never done anything even remotely like that.

Anyone remember congressman Joe Wilson? He was the man who yelled "that's a lie" when Barack Obama was giving a similar address to a joint session of Congress - and t media and the Democrats exploded over the discourtesy. He was reprimanded by the House and by his own party for just one such outburst, and the media raged against this for months. Now all the Democrats were booing and hissing and trying to drown out Mr. Trump, and Al Green stood there shouting pejoratives at the man while pointing a weapon at him (and had to be rmoved by the Sargent-at-Arms) and it's suddenly TRUMP'S fault, you know, the guy who was twice targeted for assassination by crazed liberals.

The rules are a little different when you are a Democrat than those that apply to Republicans.

Fortunately there is a move in Congress to censure Green. They should censure all the Democrats, who behaved like spoiled children.

I mean, they couldn't applaud for a 13 year old boy with cancer, for crying out loud, because TRUMP honored him at the speech. How shameful is that? How petty?

They sat on their hands the entire night. I feared many of them would wind up with gangrene from cutting off the blood supply so long. Lines that should have gotten universal applause was met with stony silence from the Democrats in the gallery. Most had their heads down; they knew they were being destroyed politically at that speech but so fear the radicals in their party they dared not applaud the most basic propositions (like the U.S. is a great country).

And it showed; after the speech the public approval rating for it was waaay up.

Trump renewed calls for most of his projects and particularly concentrated on Ukraine and the need to for peace in the region.

I won't go through the laundry list but there wasn't really anything that new. How could there be? Trump immediately set out to actually enact what he planned; he didn't jaw it to death first.

At any rate Trump had complete control of the speech and the attempts to disrupt it only made the Democrats look petty and childish.

The very fact that the media is not taking a victory lap proves this point. They are trying to hide the truth now. I saw a piece in Yahoo News claiming this speech was horribly unpopular because only 44% of respondants were EXTREMELY IMPRESSED with it, while another thirty percent were just impressed! That's how far they are reaching now.

It's sad; a whole political party has turned completely anti-American and can't even applaud the most basic statements of support for the nation. And the media is basically a bunch of traitors, looking for anything they can find to tear America and her chosen President down.

Watch for another assassination attempt on Trump in the coming months.
