Trump's finest speech -- and a press that beclowns itself in boiling hate
By Monica Showalter

President Trump delivered the speech of his presidency at Mount Rushmore Friday, a magnificent affirmation to Americans on their 244th national birthday that what they have always cherished is still cherished, along with a warning shot to those who hate and despise all the United States stands for. It was non-partisan -- there was no mention of Democrats or Joe Biden. It was inclusive - celebratory of people of all races, and celebratory in particular of the singularity of America being great for such diversity. It was also big-hearted, magnanimous, celebrating all the ranges achievements of the country. Yet it also did the thing Trump does best, which is to call out and identify authentic enemies, stating that he knows who they are, what their game is, and that he won't let them win. In this era that was necessary shadow.

Trump began by restating the entire meaning of the holiday:

Our founders launched not only a revolution in government, but a revolution in the pursuit of justice, equality, liberty, and prosperity. No nation has done more to advance the human condition than the United States of America and no people have done more to promote human progress than the citizens of our great nation. It was all made possible by the courage of 56 patriots who gathered in Philadelphia 244 years ago and signed the Declaration of Independence. They enshrined a divine truth that changed the world forever when they said, "All men are created equal." These immortal words set in motion the unstoppable march of freedom. Our founders boldly declared that we are all endowed with the same divine rights, given us by our Creator in Heaven, and that which God has given us, we will allow no one ever to take away ever.

It was a great speech. So I expected the rat media to ignore it.

And yes, Jim Acosta, you are my enemy.

Only the media did not ignore it - instead, they attacked it for being bitter, partisan, and divisive, which is the exact opposite of the truth.

Rather, it is our media elite, steeped as they are in the cesspool of Marxist Woke Culture, that predictably exploded in an orgy of bitterness, partisanship and divisive rhetoric.

I'm fine with the rat media coming down on the side of those wanting to 'end America'. We know where each of us stand.

I just wish the rest of the GOP would learn a little from this president @skeeter

Why anyone continues to read the trash put out by the NY Slimes is a complete mystery to me.

It was a good speech.  And thank goodness, because  the Tulsa kickoff was weak.

What the rat MSM fails to realize is when they do bring the country down to a communist takeover, their liberties will go to zip.

First they would have to believe in something besides their own fat arses.

Perhaps that is why they have spent the last fifty years or so intermarrying with executive branch officials and moving back and forth between media and government - they are now all part of the same Ruling Class elite.

Only the historically ignorant would fail to see it coming. Which, of course, defines the average prog.

“Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it ... The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias.”
