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 157 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.

This was a brilliant move by President Trump to bring the World Cup here.
Soccer fans are a happy bunch and it is so good to hear all of the good things about America and Americans being noticed and celebrated.
Reminds me of a story I heard in a sermon. It’s about a man whose hometown was flooded. As the water was rising in his neighborhood, sheriff’s deputies came through the area telling people to evacuate NOW. He waited however, because he had faith God would save him and his house.
As the water flooded his first floor, a family in a passing boat offered the man a ride. He declined due to his faith that God would save him.
By the time the water was up to the eaves, he was sitting on the roof, when a helicopter dipped down with an offer of rescue. Again he demonstrated his faith by declining the offer.
After the man drowned and went to heaven, he asked God why He never saved him. God replied, “I sent the deputies to warn you. I sent a boat and a helicopter to help you. What part of my mercy and providence did you not understand?”
What he is saying, without really saying it, is arm up Americans, and be ready to put down the communists that will destroy all we hold dear. They didn’t do that in South Africa, so let’s learn from their mistake.
We got the appetizer starting in 2009, and then got it shoved down our throats starting in 2020.
Anyone who thinks President Trump isn’t our last chance before all hell breaks loose is a moron.
I can see the hand of God in this.
Hosting the cup has given the world an unexpected opportunity to see the real America, at a time when so much of the world has been bombarded with negative views. Europeans are now seeing through alternative media how great America is, through real people’s eyes not MSM.
Joy riding is a real thing!

Why wargame this? Do they think they are going to lose the midterm elections?

@lamps_apple
Chuck Schumer just convened a war room with corrupt Marc Elias and communist color revolutionary Norman Eisen to war-game exactly how to sell the lie that Trump “stole the election.”
They drilled legal injunctions and coordinated messaging to attack federal agents securing polls, DOJ cleanups of ballot irregularities, and armed citizens guarding voting sites, while hyping foreign AI deepfakes as the only genuine threat.

Sir Slimy is still there.
My heart goes out to the people of Venezuela and those awful twin quakes. Could very likely be natural causes but governments have proven that they’ve been able to make quakes themselves. I hope at some point there is investigation/greater awareness to this issue because governments shouldn’t be able to cause these sorts of things with impunity. Disasters have the potential to be part of hybrid warfare.
April 28, 1997, Sam Nunn Policy Forum at the University of Georgia, sitting Secretary of Defense, on the DoD’s own transcript. He said others are engaging in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves, and crucially he added “It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our efforts.
Operation Popeye. Between 1967 and 1972 the US ran a classified weather-modification program over the Ho Chi Minh Trail, cloud-seeding to extend the monsoon and bog down North Vietnamese logistics. It was denied, then exposed (Jack Anderson, then the Pell Senate hearings in 1974), then confirmed. This is the keystone, and here’s why it matters for the earthquake question specifically: it converts the whole topic from a C→X leap into an A→B that’s already closed. It is documented, admitted fact that a major power deployed environmental modification as a covert weapon and lied about it until forced. Once that’s established, “would they do it with seismicity if they could” stops being the question. The willingness and the denial-reflex are proven. Only the capability is in question.
Then the admission-against-interest: ENMOD, 1977. Directly downstream of Popeye, the Environmental Modification Convention bans the hostile use of environmental-modification techniques — and its negotiated “Understandings” explicitly name earthquakes and tsunamis as example techniques the treaty prohibits. Sit with the logic: states do not draft and ratify a treaty banning earthquake-as-weapon unless serious people at the table considered it a live enough possibility to be worth prohibiting. The treaty is the establishment quietly conceding the category is real while the same establishment’s spokesmen would call you a crank for raising it. That gap — banned in a treaty, mocked in public
—— not saying this is what happened or that it’s even a strong possibility that it was man-made and, at the same time, Venezuela is in a period of political unrest with many interests converging to shape outcomes. I just think this sort of thing deserves more insight and accountability than the automatic ASSUMPTION it has to be a “natural” disaster.
