The Game Plan
Sundance @TheLastRefuge2
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it. He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit.
A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”

Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1B visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough. They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it. You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.
Do not allow them to gaslight you into thinking the good is the enemy of the perfect.
In the real world, most things are never perfect, but if we try real hard, we can get plenty of good accomplished in the coming 4 years.
Day 110 of the 2nd year of the 2nd term of this very stable genius. History is being made in the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2026.
The purpose and goals of President Trump are plainly visible by his actions and consistent: He is for the benefit first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world. It is validating, even to our battered conservative skepticism.
The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating. He hammers actions based on truth from one direction, then another, and they cannot mount an organized opposition against him.
President Trump is transparent in his words and actions. He is consistent in what he says, what he does, and what he asks/demands of others. His promises are bold and he keeps them like no other president has. He continues to make massive, nearly overnight changes, not only in our country, but in the world. It is amazing that he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass. This second term, he is weeding them out faster and choosing like-minded servants who multiply his effectiveness. No U.S. president has ever faced so much organized resistance and treason than President Trump
He has chosen to use his intellect and every skill he has to do what is right. He has tremendous faith that he can make a difference in this world. He has a confidence and courage such that he doesn’t care what others think, yet a humility to know he has to do it with the help of like minded people. Those people are the “common” people, and he ridicules those who think they are not common. He does not show humility before men, but his actions show humility before God.
He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, and they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.
He believes the United States, with its Constitutional Republic, is the best environment in the world to enable and give opportunity for people to be happy and prosperous.
He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
He believes the enemy of our country are the stupid, greedy American people who have been selfishly taking advantage of this country; who betrayed the trust and obedience of its people; and who diverted the people’s wealth for their own selfish gain, at the expense of the principles of this country. He’s not going to allow that anymore. He is not afraid to call out our enemies.
He has cultivated and focused the family of MAGA. Identifying those people whose goodness, industriousness, trust, and obedience have been taken advantage of and abused. He has opened our eyes to this abuse, and to the rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us.
He has rekindled the same healthy distrust held by our founders of government and men with too much power. He has recultivated the desire to reclaim our freedoms and rights, and is empowering us with a hope and pathway to reclaim our spiritual and economic freedom.
He wants the US to be a light of hope on the hill for all people. He will negotiate win/win agreements with those nations and countries who respect us; who respect the principles and intent of our Constitution. If you do not respect us, however, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness, or share in our wealth at our expense. If you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us, until you show that you value your people as much as we value ours. He believes that nations who treat their people well will also be good economic neighbors with us.
He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of whom truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic, which supports the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.
The Trump Train seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth, which reflect the will and design of our Creator, and are the best standard by which we should live. These same principles were what our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation.
Our founders believed that a nation should preserve the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles. They believed that free individuals working together in humility would make a stronger nation than a government which dictates its will on the people. President Trump professes and seeks to lead and restore this nation back to these same principles.
These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum. Lord please bring your power and might in the daily working of this sacred Nation you gave us.
I don’t mean to grouse but since it’s early and the thread is new: is there a summary version of the usual posts attached to the daily you could use? I usually have to pan to page 2 or wear out the mouse wheel to avoid reading what I’ve read a few hundred times.
I for one, think our church and Country Doc’s post are important to our republic.
Scroll, if you need, or reflect on the message. Your choice.

Spanberger was smiling last week…
After putting the R’s up the creek.
But her smile turned to a frown…
When the Court struck her down…
And she realized Dem chances looked bleak 🙂
Second stanza, written with my hanza ;-p
Spanberger and her clan,
Conspired to the Gop ban,
But along came da judge,
Who slapped down the hag’s sludge,
And her plan was flushed down the can.
GDP Be Damned—America Is Not India!
Mass Indian immigration is reshaping America into a parallel society, and a nation that ignores assimilation, sovereignty, and loyalty risks surrendering its future to foreign interests.
The pro-replacement immigration crowd and Indian ethnic advocates in the US are quick to argue that this is a good thing—that Indians are an economic boon because of their high household incomes, which are about $150,000 a year. This is great for Indian families, but it has been disastrous for young Americans forced out of the tech workforce by these Indians.
Indian Americans lean heavily Democrat and express strong disapproval of immigration restrictions, H-1B reforms, and America First economic policies. Large majorities opposed the Trump-era tightening of visas and deportations, viewing them through the lens of their own community’s interests rather than the national interest.
The bottom line is simple: Indians are not Americans. They are a high-achieving, endogamous, and politically organized foreign diaspora whose presence in large numbers imposes real costs on American wages, cultural cohesion, political independence, and national security. High household incomes do not magically transform outsiders into insiders, nor do they erase the fundamental truth that America is not India. Continuing to import millions more while ignoring assimilation failures, fraud rings, and espionage risks is not “enrichment”—it is replacement by another name. The American people have every right to demand that their government put their interests first, rather than subsidizing the growth of a parallel society that views the United States primarily as an economic opportunity and political lever for Indian ends. GDP be damned.

Link has a 2025 graph showing the extent of Indian H1-b visa use/abuse, over 5 million at the expense of Americans. The Indian Hindu community is as big a threat to America as the Muslims.
Totally, completely agree. They need to be ejected, all of them.
Um……

“New 2026 House Ratings From Inside Elections

Much more….
The whole party has been nothing but fraud and violence since its inception.
As the primary season continues, a reminder of the GOP members that voted against banning non-citizens from government subsidies…
Interesting that Mullin is in the “Nay” column with traitors like McConnell and Graham but is now the Secretary of Homeland Security. That’s some serious dissonance.
When will the U.S. State Department close some of Mexico’s 53 consulates?
With a network of 53 consulates spread across the United States, Mexico maintains the largest consular presence of any single country abroad.
These consulates interfere in American politics in working with American political advisors to turn migrants inside the U.S. into a political force and assist them when targeted by ICE.
BTW. In ’20, the Chinese Consulate in Houston, TX, was closed because of their widespread espionage.
King Frederik X has asked danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen to explore the formation of a potential centre-right government following the breakdown of PM Mette Frederiksen’s negotiations among centre-left parties.
