Donald Trump delivered a resoundingly well received speech yesterday at Liberty University. Last night the President of Liberty U, Jerry Falwell Jr. spoke about a history of Donald Trump; a history that few know, and he felt compelled to tell everyone.

A great example of Sundance’s critical analysis is “The Bengazi Brief.” Check that out…truly incredible work. If the MSM put that type of effort and dedication into the news it would be a different world and people would respect the press and not despise them.
I would also add that the people here are very smart and well informed unlike some other sites where people do not debate with facts but rather use name calling and illogical reasoning.

And I wonder how many hundreds of politicians and celebrities are keeping silent about the thousands of dollars Trump’s probably given them through the years, some for political purposes but most like him giving Rand Paul $200k.
And the many who try to use trump like a BANK. Trump said Neil Young asked him for $500,000.00 for a sound system and gave Trump tickets to his show. Next thing Trump knows is Neil Young doing a press release complaining Trump played one of his songs at a rally (was on the auto play soundtrack with various other songs by other artists. Trump said if Neil would’ve called him and told him not to use it he wouldn’t have, but Neil went straight to the press to get some publicity off Trump’s back. This is in the first quarter of the video Sundance posted here: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/01/18/reminder-donald-trump-interview-with-chicago-editorial-board/
Trump is human and it probably hurts a little bit to see them all not even mentioning he helped them out. Trump would never just come out and embarrass them — UNLESS THEY HIT HIM then he has. But my guess is there are many who were having low times in their careers who came and asked him for his help and he gave to them.
The good news is that God knows and this is coming to light.

Neil Young is a Canadian rocker who made money from a song he sang years ago called “Southern Man” in which he castigated the South for its heritage — apparently in Neil’s mind, losing the War of Northern Aggression and being wiped out economically was not enough, and he was on a personal quest to destroy what was left of the spirit of the South…the song may have been a commercial success, but the overall theme of laying the blame for slavery wholly on the South is folly, and indicative of one with a very shallow understanding of American history, Canadian or not.

Trump’s generosity wasn’t reported for one reason only: the media don’t want him to be seen as a likable, generous, pro-American with true Christian spirit. Indeed, the Biblical admonition: “Ye shall know them by their fruits” cuts both ways: Trump’s actions show him to be a good, decent person and a spiritual warrior who witnesses proudly to his faith. The media’s actions show them to be soul-destroying, power-mad whores of Babylon.
I had no idea — zero, zip, nada — that Trump did these things, and when I heard Falwell quietly relating these matters, and saying in so many words that basically that it’s less important to use the conventional theological terms and more important to look to the person’s actions. Jimmy Carter was a good Sunday school teacher, and a horrible president, as Falwell pointed out.

Cruz’ lead was already slipping, consider this article from BEFORE the debate and BEFORE Jerry Falwell’s praise notes Cruz’ slipping in Iowa:
Is Ted Cruz Losing His Grip on Iowa? By Josh Voorhees Jan. 13 2016 12:49 PM
“His [Cruz] drop could be the result of the increased attention that comes with being the favorite—which has included plenty of chatter about his Canadian roots—or it could be explained by something else, including statistical noise. Either way, Cruz doesn’t look as strong in Iowa today as he did in late 2015.
“In the end, Iowa might serve as a microcosm for the entire GOP campaign: If Trump’s appeal is enough to convince large numbers of first-time voters to show up and caucus on a cold, dark night in Iowa, he’ll be well-positioned to steal an early victory that Cruz was counting on.”

The relationship between Trump and Libertys goes back a long way where he spoke at the convocation in 2012 as well, where he received a tremendous and glowing introduction and “Prior to his speech, Trump was awarded an honorary doctorate of business in recognition of his ‘unwavering and public commitment to our nation’s founding principles of limited government, individual liberty, and the free enterprise system, and in further recognition of his iconic status as one of America’s most successful visionaries and entrepreneurs.'”

Great interview, even through the bloated ego of Hannity.

I like Sean but he would do himself a very large favor if he would overcome letting his huge ego make everything about himself. His bringing his own speech at Liberty into a conversation that had absolutely nothing to do with him was inappropriate. He was fishing for compliments. Falwell went on his show to talk about Trump, not about Hannity.

I had the same thought and reaction at the end. It’s actually one of many reasons why I turned him off too a long time ago. This isn’t new — he fishes for compliments and compares everything to himself all the times.
BUT, if evangelicals are still watching him in big numbers and they saw that interview with Falwell Jr. and heard those “almost” words of endorsement, I’ll forgive Sean this time.

Overall Sean’s good qualities outweigh his bad, imo. But when he irks me, he REALLY irks me.

Aw, man, I don’t see Sean that way at all. Him mentioning Liberty University is an interesting piece of information. Why wouldn’t his audience be interested to know that connection? You guys are off on your judgment of him. There’s no reason not to relate to things. Trump talks about how he was there when 9/11 happened, he plugged his book in the same sentence as the Bible, and both those things were great, we love him for it. Sean’s just slightly less grounded and less charming because he falls for political correctness more than Trump.

Listened to hom yesterday in the car, and really thought I was going to have to pull my radio out of the dashboard…so tired of hearing how Me2Ted has “stood up to the establishment” and all his other talking points. I think Sean must have blisters on his backside from balancing on that fence…..

Everyone here is missing that Liberty University is where Cruz made his candidacy announcement in an obvious attempt to tell the Christian voters he is one of them.
Trump just one-upped and marginalized any illusions that Cruz is the “Christian” candidate – especially with Fallwell’s almost-endorsement on Fox.

What makes sense in Iowa are Evangelical/Christian/Faithful American endorsement(s). I am on pins and needles. I also see yuge banners flying throughout the state stating: Cruz has sealed his records — Liar? Christians don’t Lie.

Local rag had article on Trump at Liberty University here in VA yesterday.
Sure, send your most liberal reporter of color to Lynchburg to write about Donald’s appearance. Long and short of it, rather than deal with what Trump said (want to see what his big announcement is today, maybe a UUUUUUGGGEEEE endorsement), the article was ‘Trump didn’t pay enough tribute to MLK on MLK day.
Hey idiot Michael Paul Williams (the writer), get a freaking clue. If you wanted a King rally, there were plenty of them in Richmond and surroundings, and you could have saved yourself a few hours drive to Lynchburg. This was a Trump rally, not an MLK rally. And by the way Mr. Williams, MLK was a Republican, and I’m certain he would be appalled at the first affirmative action occupant of the Oval Office.

She has been far and away the leading kingmaker in Republican primary politics since 2008. No one is even a distant second to Sarah Palin!

Also, the liberal media would go nuts over it and it will be all Trump all the time for a week. Gosh, I really hope it is her!

I just can’t visualise Ted being quietly charitable with his time or money.
I’ve tried to imagine it, but I can’t. In fact, compared to Trump, I feel Ted’s every action is calculated…for profit, if you like.
It’s probably old news here, but this is another story about Trump’s good deeds. Sure he’s rich & can afford it…yet so few rich people follow Donald’s many examples, and without publicity.

Overall, good interview. But I gagged a little when he said that only fruit matters rather than right theological terms in determining one’s Christianity. There’s no denying in his past, Trump supported full-term abortion, among other things. Hard to bill that as Christian. I really don’t need to be convinced of Trump’s “Christianity” to vote for him. Quite frankly, I’m tired of politicians parading as Christians to get Christian votes. Just present yourself as you are, with your policies, and I’ll consider voting for you if enough of your policies match my own.
Other than that, it was nice to hear what a charitable person Mr. Trump is.

With some 30,000 denominations out there I think theological terms may be hard to nail down. However, fruits are evidence of character, and I have known many who claimed theological terms and were quite the shysters, lacking even a grape..

I agree with that…mostly. But like I said, being pro-life is pretty much historical Christianity, from its inception. Trump is not pro-life, nor would I begin to pretend he is. That’s bad fruit in that particular department. Very, very bad fruit. Even though I’m voting for him, I do so with eyes wide open. He will not nominate Supreme Court justices who will overturn Roe v Wade if given the opportunity. Let’s not pretend otherwise. He’s welcome to change his mind and publicly reverse statements he’s made in the past, however.

But he isn’t running for head preacher; he’s running for president — and as such will have to represent all of us.
I don’t like the idea of abortion; I hate PP (for many reasons) — but I also realize that not everyone is going to have the same opinion (and sometimes they do have valid arguments: rare is it may be there are situations where the mother’s life really is in danger or some little girl gets raped by nasty family member….it’s a sad thing, and fortunately rare, but I think in those situations personal choice should probably have some standing; I can’t judge people in those positions as those are situations that I was fortunately spared). As long as pro-lifers are given their rights to public speech, which they aren’t now not really, then that’s all I can ask of a president.
That’s a culture war thing — it will have to be settled by society, free of excessive government influence. Right now the only person who seems as though he’ll stay out of it is Trump.

I saw this interview last night. It was just awesome. I think that Hannity was getting upset that Falwell Jr. kept going on with what he had to say in praising Trump. It was quite obvious that Falwell Jr. does not care too much for the other candidates. He was spot on in all that he said.
