“Never forget, they’re coming after me because I’m fighting for you”
– President Donald J Trump
.
Stay Postive – Right now those who wish to “fundamentally change” our nation are waging a full frontal assault against our constitutional republic. The bombardment seems overwhelming.
Leftist city and state leaders have abandoned rule of law in favor of supporting the mob effort to destroy our sense of national unity. Political activists, left-wing ideologues under the guise of democrats, and a host of media allies are conducting an information war on behalf of their objective. Big tech social media companies are attempting to remove the voices of those who are fighting back.
There is a great deal of purposefully driven anxiety and fear amid our nation as this multi-faceted internal war takes place. However, there is a primary element to this effort that each person can shield themselves from, and act to counter. Do not let your sense of self succumb to this assault. Do not let them win the battle for your peace of mind.
It might, heck, -check that- it does seem overwhelming at times. But that is the nature of this collectivist strategy. That is the purpose of this bombardment. We must hold strong and push back against their lies and manipulations. If you look closely at their attack, it is weak and much of it is psychological bait. Do not fall into the trap of despair.
The message “live your best life”, it is not without purpose. Every moment we allow the onslaught to deter us from living our dreams, is a moment those who oppose our nation view as us taking a knee. Do not allow this effort to succeed.
You might ask yourself how can I, one person, a flea looking into a furnace, retain an optimistic disposition while all around me seems chaotic and mad.
That’s the point; it ‘seems’ chaotic and mad because it has been created to appear that way. There are more of us than them; they just control the systems that allow us to connect, share messages and recognize the scale of our assembly.
Every second that you live your life with thankfulness for the abundance within it; every moment that we CHOOSE to engage with fellowship; every day that we accept guidance from God – however you define him to be; and every moment we cherish this time to be a beacon of optimism; is a moment that we withstand that barrage and hold the flag in place. It is a genuinely patriotic position not to succumb to the attack.
If you allow yourself to be drawn into crisis and despair, you allow them to win. If your center of normal is based around this overwhelming onslaught, you will eventually concede liberty in favor of peace. Once we stop living in liberty, we no longer have peace.
We must withstand this onslaught and rally to the origin of our true national spirit. We must rally to a standard of Americanism and accept this is not that.
In essence, we must individually take a stand. Purposefully, deliberately and with forethought, we must engage those around us to get rid of this sense of foreboding.
This approach is how we win the larger battle.
All around us, in every tribe and region, there are people who need you to show them the strength that you have. Strength of spirit. Strength of fellowship that you will not relent from expressing. No matter what noise is shouting from the loudspeakers we must withstand it; we must make eye contact and remain joyful. We cannot allow despair to be the status quo.
Our nation needs people like you, right now. Don’t wait… engage life, get optimistic however you need to do it. Then let that part of you shine right now… This is how we fight. Hold up that flag; give the starter smile… rally to the standard you create and spread fellowship again.
God knows we need it.
We have the best candidate, and we have the best message. Push back on those who do not support liberty and freedom; their message, like their candidate, is weak.
The greatest thing President Reagan did was deploy the Pershing II in Europe. It ended the cold war. I was there. As NCOIC at a Pershing site a Soviet inspector attempted to enter our entry control point. He was challenged, put into the front leaning rest position, and his I.D. recorded and refused. He could inspect the perimeter and rubber necked trying to look under the camouflage net which he had the right to do under NATO/ Warsaw Pact agreement. “Poorshing Doo”. Was all he could say- he knew the jig was up.But never did Ronald Reagan get the love shown President Trump.He never got boat or automobile rallies. Hell- he never really held a rally except election time. His biggest mistake which begat 3 bigger mistakes was having that turd Bush as a V.P. President Trump is truly the peoples President. I drive a truck and I approved this message.
C Battery 1/81st 56th Field Artillery Brigade, Pershing.
I was stationed in Neu Ulm, Germany. I spent many a week on the Rock as we called it.
I was just a green kid, at 18 years old. I was communications MOS.
Man that was a long time ago
You’ll recognize this book, it covers that period in Europe. By defector from the Soviet GRU, Victor Suvorov:

Thanks Brother !
Thanks to all my prior service brethren! Served in Germany ’88-’90; the Wall was up, then down. Alerts at 3 a.m. and then not. Then all of the communists infiltrated our educational institution.
Bush as VP candidate was sicced on Reagan.
The GOP wanted Reagan to take Ford for VP candidate of all people, knowing that if Ford were on the ticket, the ticket would lose.
They wanted to LOSE.
Reagan refused, so he was forced to take Daddy CIA.
The GOP was probably really pissed when Reagan won his first election. Mr. CIA or not.
Then the CIA tried to kill Reagan.
Ronald was never as strong as he could have been…again because of the intimidating baby-sitting by the Deep State.
This is a very tough business.
Yup.
Right as rain you are.
Great post, “Mike-in-a-Truck”!!! Thank you for your service AND for your eye witness account of what was happening on the Cold War front lines back then!
Trump and Reagan are both exceptional men. Reagan was probably loved more than Trump will be. But Trump fights and the people he is fighting are way nastier and they have many more numbers.
The biggest mistake of Reagan was not dismantling the Department of Education.
Not even close, although I did/do like Reagan, Trump is many times the greater president and man. Trump is smarter, more Nationalist, far greater patriot, and etc, as Reagan had too many Globalist traits, and a whole set of ‘free trade’ culture destroying views.

Thanks Sundance!
Many do need a –stay positive reminder– now and then!
There’s absolutely NOTHING that will change my vote, and every new thing they try to convince me otherwise just makes me laugh because it’s so transparent.
That’s it in a nutshell!
What discourages me at times is the number of idiots I know, I see and I meet. Idiots who’s minds cannot be changed.
I am more worried about those that will have a bunch of mail-in ballots in the backseat of their car waiting to see how many votes Trump gets on November 3rd.
We Americans are a funny bunch. When things get really tough, we excel – we don’t cringe and retreat – we walk towards the fire. Our fierce and honest pride in what we believe cannot be vanquished. Though they light every forest on fire, we will fight. The more they destroy, the more our resolve firms. The more they attack us personally, call us horrible names, the taller we stand.
The more they hate our President, we are more determined than ever to stand beside him.
We will never give up.
We will never give in.
May God bless America!
P.S. Dear Lord, I am asking that Your Mighty Spirit sweep across this nation. Bring the lost to Yourself. Open people’s eyes, minds, and hearts to the Truth. I ask that You cast out the spirits of evil in our governments. I ask that You foil the plans of the wicked and bring them low. I humbly ask in Jesus’ name only. Amen.
^ You can me my Gramma anytime!
*be
You bet!!!! Absolutely!!! I feel that amongst the great Trump campaign volunteers I work with every day now and we are seeing it “on the streets” as we are talking with the Silent Majority at their homes while we are canvassing!
I’d say they’re coming for us and he’s fighting for us. It’s just that now they’re coming for us openly and laying the blame for their attacks on us on our support of Trump.
Praying for America, Trump and all patriots.
I don’t care if I get blamed. The only blame the will be able to pin on me is the fact that I proudly voted for my candidate. The blame game is just words. Democraps will discover how ridiculous their blame game has become.
I am proud to support the only proud American running for President. And I am only voting for people who are proud to be Americans.
we have to fight for HIM
RE: The American Veteran, His Plight is the Plight of the Nation!
Special Note: My brothers and sisters who are serving and/or have served in Blue and/or the Profession of Arms I wanted to include each of you in this message to our President/CINC. Considering the ever increasing level of betrayal of the American people by the politicians, the bureaucracy, the academicians, and the media that has become so obvious since Donald Trump’s election; I will simply submit to you what I submitted to the President when I became convinced he was the first and perhaps the last “Battle Captain” to occupy the office. At 77, with a terminal condition, and observing the general attitude of the American people I have stacked arms. I wish each of you God’s speed and regret to inform you that I am not convinced that the American people are worthy of another drop of your sweat, much less your blood! If Donald Trump is robbed of a second term and Americans do not rise up all over this nation to throw every member of the left out of public office, academia, and the news media I will have no doubt!
TO: President/CINC Donald J. Trump
Mr. President, I am writing you this letter in that it is clear that you are just as much a combat veteran as any of us serving in the combat arms, in that you are fighting the battle an old colonel warned us about in his words repeated below. In 1969 (the year “VOLAR” [all volunteer army] came to be) an old mustang (he had 34 years of service at the time, had served in every conflict since 1935 in the ranks of private through platoon sergeant and lieutenant through colonel, and one of the few soldiers I ever knew with two awards of the combat infantry badge and two battle stars on his jump wings) honored a group of us young punks (four captains/one major all recently returned from tours in Vietnam) gathered at the downstairs bar of the Fort Gordon, GA officers’ club with a few words of wisdom and a few very intuitive predictions regarding America’s new all volunteer armed forces. In a very low, raspy, voice the mustang stated:
“1. The all volunteer army (VOLAR) was concocted by the nation’s cowardly rulers in concert with the military/industrial complex to appease a nation of cowards!
2. Considering the level of strategic and tactical incompetence demonstrated by America’s civilian and military managers (notice he said managers, not leaders) in every war/conflict in the 20th century, America’s young people unfortunate enough to serve in the military would be squandered with ever increasing frequency and at ever higher levels.
3. The principal factors determining strategy and tactics in future force development decisions and in execution of future conflicts would be those most enhancing to the profit margins of the military/industrial complex.
4. One day; after many decades with very few Americans having had any real association with the military community, the nation’s rulers will decide that not only is the all volunteer force with its legions of crippled and wasted veterans too expensive to maintain, but the nation’s lack of a ‘national character’ would permit the most cost effective disposal of all of those not deemed essential to operate an arsenal of wonder weapons designed to maintain the highest profit margins for the military/industrial complex!”
The old mustang’s final comment was just as correct then as it is today. He said;
“Gentlemen just like every period of conflict in this nation’s history, when the shooting is over the nation’s rulers will piss on us and then sweep us under a rug like a pile of dirt!”
After that night I went to my quarters and started composing a poem. Twenty years later I included the poem with a dozen lessons learned in the prelude of a yet to be published book titled: Rape, Pillage, Plunder; America You’ve Been Had! That book has not been published to date because it contains still classified material that implicated in serious crimes many senior members the Carter administration, a first term senator (J. Biden), and a state attorney general (W. Clinton). The only positive change in the American political environment since 1989 has been your election to the Presidency!
I sent President Bush a very detailed letter with the lessons learned and the poem when he directed the military to prepare to invade Iraq without adequate planning and without fully considering what a projected war would do to the rank and file of those serving in America’s all volunteer armed forces. He did not listen. Now he spends his days painting portraits of many of those he sentenced to a life of living in the mire of broken bodies and tormented souls!
Sir, I salute you and thank you for your service,

2. A Soldier/Cop’s Lessons Learned
A Soldier/Cop’s Lessons Learned
* Soldiers (ground combat soldiers, that is) do not fight first and foremost for their country, the flag, motherhood, girls back home, nor apple pie. Before all else, soldiers engaged in ground combat fight for their fellow soldiers and their unit.
* The Seven C’s of Leadership according to a 1980 survey of 1646 of Vietnam era ground combat veterans listed of the order of their importance are; Candor, Competence, Consistency, Commitment, Courage, Compassion, and Courtesy. The reason the soldiers in the survey chose the word “candor” is because to them candor encompasses both omission and co-mission. To a combat soldier lack of absolute candor, be it co-mission or omission, are equal sins! In short, soldiers expect/demand absolute candor from their leaders before all else.
* The most cost effective personnel management tool for incompetent and/or corrupt personnel assigned to leadership positions in combat units (and probably elsewhere) is “Fragging!”
* The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to the American political class, the American bureaucracy, the American media, and American academia.
* Arrogance coupled with ignorance equals stupidity.
* The greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the American so-called media.
* Most of the politicians/bureaucrats/academicians/media types I have encountered during my years as a soldier/cop I most kindly refer to as; self-serving, witless, cowards.
* The American Profession of Arms and our brothers/sisters in blue have failed to protect the American people from all of their enemies, both foreign and ‘most especially’ domestic.
* My guns were always turned in the wrong direction.
* Washington, DC is the most target rich environment I have encountered in all of my years as a soldier/cop.
* If recalled to active military service the only position I will accept is; Commander, Counter Terrorism/Revolutionary Forces.
* There are only two primary requirements to be a career soldier and/or cop in America. One must be smart enough to do the work and dumb enough to take the job.
* American soldiers and police officers must in addition to mastering all of their professionally mandated tasks learn to accomplish the same with at least one arm tied behind their backs and their vision impaired 50% or more.
* After carefully watching the whole of the political class since Donald J. Trump walked down that escalator in Trump Tower to date, I can say without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and our bodies just to remain in power.
* Want to see what the United States of America will look like if the left takes control of the government? Take your pick, New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or the complete packages; California, New York, Illinois, etc, etc, etc…..
* If the so-called resistance movement continues unchecked a number of able veterans and cops are going to be presented with a challenge/decision. Are the American people worth another drop of our sweat and/or our blood?

As a veteran of Vietnam Nam time war(?) I was challenged as an OCS Tac Officer to train some of the pre and post VOLAR OCS candidates to be Infantry Officers destined for Vietnam Nam service in combat. I didn’t really want that job but, it was my assignment and I did my Best to see that they would get back alive from a war no one wanted. Most of our Candidates were college grads whose deferments had run out, got drafted or volunteered for service just to choose their date to start. Knowing what I know now it really pisses me off the games politicians played with our young men’s lives. I had promised to protect and defend against all enemies foreign and domestic, so help me God ( and meant it)…..I take these things seriously!!! I wish all those who took that oath stood by it like President Trump does. We are blessed by God to have him as our president.
Same message as always Soldier/Cop/Grunt/Retired and SPOT ON Sir.
Thank you for your lifetime of service, I know it was in good faith and spent well on your end.
o7
Spot on indeed Soldier/Cop/Grunt! Thank you for your service and all treepers who’ve served. I always remember your expose’ on candor and it still sticks with me. Might I suggest you write your book anyways regardless the classified material. The truth has no agenda. Though those with honor respect their oath and I can understand and admire that. That’s the difference those honorable and those corrupt. Salute!
Since CNN and other “networks” are not attending the LV, NV peaceful protest campaign event, will they be covering the BLM and ANTIFA peaceful protest riots? …or Hiden in the basement? …or Heels up #%*+!?
I am still scratching my head at those who either think or really believe Biden will win. The signs are not there
1). No one show up in the rare occasion he emerges from his basement
2). He has no spontaneous rallies planned by his supporters. The car rallies. The boat rallies. The locally planned freedom protests. Only happening by Trump supporters.
3). Blue state over reach regarding Covid controls. People are OVER the intrusion into our personal liberty. Here in Michigan our tyrant guv is handing MI to Trump. She is so hated now. It took only about 8 weeks for a grass roots effort with all volunteers to collect a half a million signatures to repeal the 1945 law she relies on to be the most unpopular dictator in the nation. In 1970 something the state legislature replaced the 1945 emergency powers act which could be renewed indefinitely with one that only allows the guv 30 days before the guv has to work with the legislature. Our tyrant is ignoring the new law and reaching back to the old law from 75 years ago. This election will not be close in MI
4). Antifa riots. The deep blue states that are allowing paid thugs to destroy their cities are handing the law and order suburban vote to Trump. These libs encouraging this destruction have no idea they are pushing the virtue signaling liberal suburbanites over to the Trump vote. Their discomfort about Trump’s tweets and counter punching will take a backseat to wanting to be safe in their neighborhood.
5). Why does Bloomberg think spending $100,000,000 in FL will turn the state blue? This election can not be bought thru ads. Is he paying for people to cheat?
6). Sports. Need I say more? The plummeting viewership is an indirect poll of November votes
7). Dem leadership in Congress. Most Americans do not support the main things tge Dems want to cram down our throats. The more each local candidate for Congress contrasts the 2 platforms the more the middle of the road Americans will not choose an AOC Marxist America
I could go on but the people in the Biden bubble just need to understand they are not in realsville. Their TDS has made them irrational.
True words, friend.
Two words. Mail-in Balloting.
That’s why I’m afraid.
All sides can challenge. Not the preferred cpourse of action since the real objective id=s to have the judiciary decide the outcome. This will prompt its own public response – unlike during the Gore/Bush fiasco.
Thanks for the pep-talk, friend.

In the immortal words of Josie Wales …
“Now remember, things look bad and it looks like you’re not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. ‘Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That’s just the way it is.”
Saw this on Tweeter: (I can’t properly quote a tweet, just a lurker there. This wasn’t intended for me, but it sure sounds like good advice!)
“Tonight i have no wind. Not a puff. Ocean is flat slow moving steel grey liquid glass. Have a calm night tonight everyone. Rest up and find solace and prepare for the battle ahead. The next 7 weeks will be the worse. …” Jack Flynn #BeNotAfraid@GoJackFlynn
Praying for you Jack Flynn!
RSBN coverage of LV peaceful protest campaign event just began. Press “box” is empty. Can’t wait to see the RSBN viewer numbers since msm is boycotting coverage.
RSBN Reno coverage had at least 114k viewers.
I also make sure to launch the DJT page video stream on FB as well. Last night’s DJT livestream on FB had (wait for it….) TWO MILLION VIEWS!
Speaking of “live your best life”… is anyone here a retired Marine, drive a red/maroon Ford truck, and is a fan of the Bulldogs? Because if so, my family saw you today on the road. Hi!
Speaking of “make eye contact and smile,” when my family did our weekly grocery trip yesterday, we weren’t the only ones there without masks! I saw two gentlemen – one didn’t have a mask at all and the other had his pulled completely below his chin. Another one pulled his mask down when he saw us. The one with the mask below his chin made eye contact and we shared a mutual smile. My husband says he also saw a couple of women without one. People are getting fed up, even in deep blue Charleston County!
I will be proudly protesting the pathetic pluralists who push their Communist agenda. All you really rich guys should just know that all the money you are spending is for the failure of your Globalist philosophy of fantasy! Patriots will beat on you like you are a drum. Your Collective has no future but to fold up like a cheap suit. You follow?
I really don’t think TPTB have any idea just how pissed off regular folk really are, and how strongly they will react in November; they have messed with college football.
That’s crossing the line.
Martin,
The PORF are realizing that We are TPTB and those who thought they were TPTB also thought they could find solace behind their own ‘Maginot Line’. Yes, they crossed the line. They have no safe place of retreat. God knows you can run, but you’ll only die tired.
This weekend played music again in a small group, inside, with some other musicians who are also unafraid of COVID-1984. And all of them are typical blueMA libs! One is quiet but admits he sees the nonsense of it. And the other two are kind of reluctant Biden voters as far as I can see, but they are completely boiling with hot anger about the lockdown insanity! I have a feeling that couple may get busy on November 3 and forget to vote. ?
And this is in blueMA.
I have been working like a mama bird for weeks feeding all three of them nourishing worms, er I mean, facts, statistics, articles, great comedy memes, mind-opening thoughts about tyranny and the political angle to the covidiocy. And they are all hungry to hear it.
In the meantime I’m starting regular meetings with MAGA friends, citing the Treehouse all over a couple of MAGA private FaceBook groups (the Massachusetts Women for Trump group is growing like mushrooms after rain), spreading information constantly, donating to House races and elsewhere, finding more and more ways every day to start conversations. Not to mention that agreement that the riots are horrible and not to be tolerated is universal so far – I haven’t talked to anybody of any persuasion who doesn’t see that.
So yes, as sundance says, be of good cheer!
Nice work Steph! Patriot, you are… 😉
My uncle, who is in his 70s and has no internet access, lives in Lancaster, California. He is in great fear of what will happen if our president is not re-elected… to the point that the fear is affecting his daily life and thoughts. My mother and I were talking about this uplifting message from Sundance, and I told her to call my uncle (her brother) and read the article to him over the phone. What a difference that made for him!
We are responsible for getting this message to others even if it is in an antiquated fashion.
No deplorable left behind!
I needed this too.
“No deplorable left behind!” – perfect synopsis of Sundance’s pep talk. And as Steph above is working on, even deplorables who don’t know they are deplorables yet!
“Live your best life”, such good advice for every day. That thought was resounding in my ears this past weekend. We took our work group, family, friends & clients on a riverboat ride on the Mighty Mississippi. We were given an amazing tutorial of the culture and history up and down the river throughout the years of our republic. It was a time of escape from worry, a time of joy & wonderment of God’s creation and time of “unmasked”fellowship.
We are so very fortunate to work in an industry that still understands you earn your piece of the pie because you work hard, trust in God, family, yourself, your neighbors and your friends.
We are blessed to live in this incredibly amazing country even with all its faults that allows us that opportunity. May we never give up the fight for her. God Bless America.
Amen L P H !!!
ah, there it is, …. that would go on the banner. …..a just and righteous battle!
Great take Ocelot! “The fight is on until the election is determined” – also, the election is determined by how we fight. Never give up and never let the bastards get you down!
This weekend, thousands of Trump supporters in decorated vehicles converged on the Cincinnati outerbelt (I-275) for a Trump Parade. Local TV interviewed one of the organizers. She was hoping for 50 people to show up. The final tally was in the thousands. No one really knows how many there were, but within a few days they had over 16K RSVPs on Facebook.

More videos & photos from Twitter: https://twitter.com/search?q=trump%20cincinnati%20parade&f=video https://twitter.com/search?q=trump%20cincinnati%20parade&f=image
I-275 dips down into Kentucky and west into Indiana. The whole loop is 86 miles long and the organizers had entrance points along its entire length. Hundreds of cars entered the freeway from each entrance point, going in both directions, at the same time. More people with Trump signs stood on overpasses.
I’m semi-boycotting Facebook so I didn’t hear about it until after the fact, or I would have road-tripped to Cincy for it! I think there is huge pent-up, silent support for Trump, the police, and the rule of law but most of us want to keep our jobs and our friends and (in my case) our spouse, so we don’t talk about it except anonymously online.
There are more of us normies than there are of them. Voter registration & turnout are the keys.
You can’t appreciate how great America is until you’ve visited other countries. We are big, bold and constantly moving forward. The tragedy of WWI, which killed many potential leaders, led to WWII, a truly global war that redefined borders and spawned a wave of other territorial disputes that ended with Viet Nam. Reagan was the beginning of a new positive wave that was temporarily halted by a second negative wave created by the Clinton-Bush-CIA-Military complex. That wave ended with Obama. Now we are beginning a more powerful positive third wave with Donald Trump.
Like the cicada that sleeps under ground for 17 years, emerges and renews by shedding its old skin, true Americans are shedding the skin placed on them by corrupt politicians and liberal ideologies. We are being renewed by the leadership of this one man – Donald Trump. This re-awakening wave will be much more powerful than the first wave. It will bring together other nations that now have the courage and the foresight to follow this great leader toward peace and prosperity. It want be a smooth ride at first, but as more cicada’s emerge the forces of good will gain strength. Keep the faith as God continues to bless America.
GOD BLESS AMERICA! Beautifully written 🙂
God, that’s beautiful!!
Thank you.
