President Trump has astute political instincts… that’s one of the reasons why those who know him longest (and best) simply remind everyone to just let Trump be Trump. Our president knows our nation needs joy… He not only senses it, he inherently is tuned into it.
Leaders of large private sector institutions and large corporations all carry this skill-set. It establishes the tone and humanity of the organization. Follow this lead.
.
The value of this positive national message is far beyond measure. Most professional political observers do not have a frame of reference from which to value the importance and visibility of this campaign messaging.
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.
When I share the message “live your best life”, it is not without purpose. Every moment that 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.
It took me a while to fully understand just how damaging empty streets, soulless eyes, the lack of smiles, shuttered businesses and the absence of joy would become. But as I travel around trying to deliver a very specific message to a very specific audience, I now recognize just how much damage is being done; not just to our nation as a whole, but also to every individual within it – personally.
We must shake this mindset. 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.
Trust me, this ain’t easy…. through my own research, I have torn open the dungeon doors and stared into the dark space; and yes, the scale of corruption amid our national body politic sticks to you; it manifests as cynicism.
However, our president’s MAGA message is optimistic; and we must fight against any tendency to allow the leftist hatred and scheme against our American value system to impact delivery of that message, our message.
If you listened to the responses from democrat voters watching the RNC convention, you would have noted the most consistent point mentioned was their disconnect from the party that has allowed hate and division to dictate policy. It is only getting worse.
Democrats and independents are flocking to the MAGA movement in larger numbers than ever before. Our political opposition is seeing the result in terms of voters turning away from them and they are apoplectic.
Which is the point of writing this. Our nation needs more 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 will win this 2020 campaign. Hold up that flag; give the starter smile… rally to the standard you create and spread fellowship again.
God knows our nation needs it; and each of us can choose to deliver that message.
Hey Crazy Nancy? We have the positive mental attitude arrow in our quiver and you don’t! Na na da na na!
Change of opinion. Mitt votes yes on scotus pick. He wants to run in 2024. Or his kids will run. Being a never trumper is one thing. Opposing Republican justices and policies is another thing. A bridge too far. He can never be a democrat. He needs the Republican party. He will play ball. Susan Collins will play ball. She cant piss off the base. Murkowski cant be a no on a female candidate. Nor does she want to be the only no vote in the Republican caucus. Now that puts pressure on manchin and jones and sinema
I would love for Mitt to vote now on Scotus pick. That would seal his fate as a lame duck senator in Utah. And such a vote is easily survivable given the other senators even more precarious positions.
That being said, you probably are correct, he will fall in line.
Bar Wind:
Very good!!
Just ask: “Why does Mitt want this job so bad?”
Perhaps that is why Lindsey Graham came out so optimistic this morning and said the Republicans had the votes.
Our positive, loving, optimistic, joyful, peaceful, FREE mindset is a NUCLEAR BOMB against the arrows in her silly quiver!
Unfriendly Hill Harris poll has Trump at 48% approval.
25% with blacks
37% with Hispanic
They over sampled dems 37% reps 32% ind 29%
Obama real clear was 49 in September 2012.
If he gets 25% black votes its a landslide
I have gone from voting for PDJT in 2016 holding my nose to loving the guy!
Trump is at or close to 50% approval in many fake news polls. He can’t be losing with those numbers.
Lots of my Repub friends hated Trump. I could never figure it out. He was not Presidential, which is what they wanted above everything else.
I told them hold their noses and vote for Trump and they will see I am right. I have 3 friends in that category, 2 in Michgan and 1 in AZ.
The rest is history.
They are all voting Trump now.
He has now redefined presidential
Can’t get more presidential than being a man of, for and by the people! We need this man to lead us back to pride and joy and living full lives.
A “nose-holding” vote then and enthusiastic now still counts once. What we need are net new votes. Have you been able to capture any of those?
Me too.
Me too! I didn’t even watch the early returns that election day, then tuned in about 9:30 pm to see how badly we were beaten,and low and behold…Stayed up all night watching and laughing and cheering.
He is the right man at the right time for the right job. Hold the line be there for one another and do not give an inch.
Couldn’t have said it any better.
I would walk through a hurricane barefoot over broken glass through sharks with lasers to vote for Trump.
God we pray that you bless us with another term for President Trump.
Please don’t give 2020 any more ideas… ?
Sharkvoteado!
MAGADJT: I thought I was a big supporter! 🙂
I can’t stop laughing…sharks with lasers, OMG. Love the Treepers. Such a witty group.
At my wedding reception in 1981 in Bergen NJ at the golf club we had a band play of old jewish fellows in their late 70’s and early 80’s and the Catholic Priest who played horn with them to Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. I went up and requested a Beatles song. They looked at each other “Beatles?..you know any Beatles?”. No, they all shook their head.. Then they proceeded to jam down to “It’s Fun To Stay At The YMCA”. The table of pals from the West Villages were in stitches! Everybody, including the table of mafia street soldiers right out of central casting were up dancing. I married a Sicilian girl., what can I say:).I love the song, along with Macho Macho Man.
Thank you Sundance, for I needed this uplifting for my spirit. I am a widow of 3 1/2 years, 78 years of age, and I live on an acreage by myself. It has been very trying going through this alone, as all my family lives out of state.
I try not to get out but once a week because seeing everyone in masks breaks my heart. All the evil going on now is hard to watch, and I wonder If we will ever get justice for those who have caused all this grief for our country. I am so frightened the democrats will steal this election, and dread the mayhem they are plotting against us.
I try to keep busy around the place, so mowing 10 acres helps clear my mind. I pray for our president and country, and tell myself that God has got this.
I don’t mean to be a downer, but wanted you to know why I said I needed this, and already am uplifted.
God bless you for all you do!
You ROCK, Annie’O. Hugs ?.
Thank you carterzest. Good people here! ?
You’re not a downer, Annie… You made my day. “I pray for our president and country, and tell myself that God has got this.” That is what we all need to hear and all need to do. And you are an inspiration, out there mowing 10 acres at 78 — that’s amazing. Please don’t ever think you’re alone. Your fellow Treepers are all here, all day – every day — so you always have a virtual family and a virtual place to go. And though it’s virtual, we are all real! God bless you, Annie…. Goodness will win out… There are more of us than there are of them… Keep the faith!
Hang in there annie; you are not as alone as you may feel at times.
Thank all of you for all your kind words. I have been reading here since the Trayvon days, and signed up to comment finally after getting my courage up. I was intimidated because the commenters here are the finest quality, and I learn a lot from from them as well as Sundance.
Truth be told annie; some of us are not as “finest quality” as you may think but on the other hand, we still try everyday because we all hang out in the same tree and some how find our way to make it through.
My girlfriend and I (77 and 83 ) are here in central Florida for have been going out to eat in restaurants for months now. Usually It’s a Mexican place good inexpensive food.. no masks inside for the clientele.. the servers wear masks.. if we time it right.. we get in have a margarita and some natchos….followed by wet burritos. We get in and out without ever having to wear one. Our community clubs are starting to open up again.. we are making progress.. looking forward to cruising again.. it’s should be back open soon..
We look at the constant TV hype… and chuckle.. in Florida we have been out for months nothing is happening no spikes of note. The schools are open.. no spikes of note.. businesses are open.. life is good.
Our constant joy is expressed..in . Thank God we Live in Florida..followed by and God bless or Governor..Ron DeSantis.. oh did I mention he is a MAGA Republican.
Annie. You rock! You are amazing lady. You’re right. God’s got this. Evil cannot triumph over good. POTUS is our David against what seems like Goliath. We stand together no matter what.
You are an inspiration!!! Thank you.
Annie, your post makes me happy to see so many people care and truly want you to know you are not alone.
Annie Okie,
❤️?
Stay strong Annie. Breaks my heart to hear your sadness. We’ve all been robbed of human connection from keeping us from our churches and Schools and jobs. Our weddings and funerals And graduations and the joy of births have Been stolen from us by a corrupt people. I pray for Gods justice and I will take Sundance’s challenge to be optimistic as my patriotic duty for the country I love. Stay strong!!

It was worth seeing twice, Fred. Cheers and prayers to you, Annie!
Oops. I didn’t know it posted twice!! I’ll take twice the challenge to be positive today!! Lol
You are the salt of the earth, annie okie!
You are among friends and freedom fighters.
Were all with you Annie. I love to cut grass. It smells and looks so good!
We are all with you!!!
You make me jealous, 10 acres! I bet you have horses too! I’d like to share one of my favorite quotes I try to remember when I’m a little blue. It’s from Helen Keller… “Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.” ?
Hi Annie,
I’m locked down here in Melbourne Australia. I’m 70 with my first grand child only a month old. We’ve a nightly curfew and a 5 Km travel limit. We’ve no BoR or #A1 or #A2.
But I rely on the #US Conservatives, just like you, to bolster my spirits. I’ve a great mob of #US internet friends. One is from Alaska and another from CA.
We all follow Sundance and we all support each other. So, I consider myself quite lucky – we’re like a Band of Brothers/Sisters!
cheers
Throw a smile, annie and shake a bit of this off!
We are all going through similar emotions, and I refuse to visit a restaurant outside with any mask at all, not participating in this nonsense like you are…we just need to know everyone else is having your same thoughts. And then we all need to buck up together!
And then…SNAP OUTOVIT! As much as possible!!!!
? ??
A mere smile makes the best Peaceful Protest!
Magnifique!
Exaclty WSB…everyone is going through the same emtions…well, at least any sane normal person. I know some liberals that want more restrictions and such….and I know a few who literally think they will die……literally.
I just wich more would get to the point we are at here. I hate the masks now. Just take them off….one by one that will happen but man, I wish other people would get to that point faster. What you see is the eyes darting around…looking for someone to just take action…when they see you without a mask….I love the person who looks at you….and then kinda pulls theirs down from their nose…..they look around……they stay at that stage for a few minutes until they see you again….then they take it off. I like to say to them- just dont’ wear it in. It feels good.
I despise the mask crap! I only wore one for my haircut! Otherwise we curbside or slither into outdoor dining areas without.
That’s it!
Annie,
Your post touched this Canadians heart, and reinforced my belief in the power of good.
Please believe that you are very much not alone.
I know whose side I’m glad to be on.
It’s yours.
My sincerest thoughts to you.
This is mayindeed be “ the last refuge”
God bless PDJT
God bless you, Annie! Sending hugs, prayers and love your way.
Annie, I bought myself a Trump mask as my own form of rebellion. When I wear it in stores, I always get positive responses and it starts people talking. I always get my spirits lifted from the conversations. So do the people with whom I talk. It’s a form of support.
Meanwhile, you are a trooper. Being alone is difficult. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sending hugs your way, Annie! We will get through this mess!
There is nothing like being out in fresh air enjoying the beauty of the world around you….refreshes the soul…Hang in there….you are so not alone feeling as you do….I totally get it. May today be a brighter day for you knowing that so many people in this Treehouse, and perhaps those whom you do not even know elsewhere, are fighting the good fight alongside you. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks everyone for your encouraging words. You have all uplifted me more than you know. I know we are all going through the same thing, each in our own way and circumstances.
When I have tried to share what is going on with some of my family, they call me a conspiracy theorist and look at me like I am nuts. I’ve broken ties with my only sister and niece. My niece told me she was well informed as she watched all the main news channels. So she is not informed, but what bothers me Is that what comes out of her mouth is just what you would hear on CNN, MSNBC, etc. Isn’t even open to listening to what I am saying. What is frightening is the fact that there are so many just like her.
May God bless all of you, and give us strength to get through the trying times ahead of us!
Annie, you are blessed to live on 10 acres, use it….. play your music as loud as you want and DANCE!!!
OUTSTANDING reply to Sundance’s screed, annie okie…Thank you for sharing this…God Bless!!!!
Annie, not alone not alone.
The left is like the devil, lurking
Stay away from those thoughts, I pray with you and for you
I am also keeping busy. (sewing quilting, and horsing around with grand girls)
I needed this too. It strengthens my heart and I know that President Trump loves our country more that the left hates it
Very impressive annie! My mind often analyzes things through a Biblical lens and even though we can never know God’s ways, I really can’t see why God would prepare DJT for his whole life (personality needed, lots of testing of finances, financial means, character of service and respect to his fellow humans) to lead him to this place and then let it all get destroyed. DJT was chosen. He is the only one who could take every scheme used against him and not only keep us from being destroyed, but help us to thrive. That is God’s hand on him. There is no doubt.
We have all been praying daily, multiple times a day, for deliverance from these Marxists and the one thing we all fear the most is the cheating in the election. What did God do? He chose now to call RBG to her final destination, whatever that may be. The schemer’s ultimate plan was to have the election be decided by the Supreme Court of which Roberts would have “decided” wrongly again. That option is gone. God wins. We win.
But I truly believe this will only be a reprieve. We all have to work at getting our fellow Americans and humans to latch on to God and morality. Our government only works with a virtuous moral citizenry and that is where we are failing. We all need to be part of a revival. This ties to Sundance’s post. Those who have hope in the Lord and know the outcome can and should be positive and let our (HIS) lights shine!!
Bless you Annie!
Try and get out more Annie. There are more people out there of your mindset than you think and they can encourage you! BTW just because people are wearing masks 1. doesn’t mean they want to 2. doesn’t mean you HAVE to!
Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance!

You are an incredible influence, SD.

China Joe is pushing the Trump is a rich guy who cares only about Wall St canard in his appeal to white working class voters. It is a stunning lie and projection. It is China Joe who is getting more funding from Wall St for his pro China policies on which he has enriched his corporate friends and his family members. CHINA Joe is the establishment candidate of the big money Chinaphiles. POTUS needs to destry China Joe on this and other lies, like the absurd claim POTUS disrespects the military. It is an absurd claim made by a guy in an administration that got rid of career officers in favor of lackeys more concerned with virtue signaling and misguided interventions that put line soldiers at risk while imposing absurd rules of engagement on them that needlessly endangered their lives.
Those lies just roll off the tongue of Joe Biden. He’s been doing it so long he wouldn’t recognize the truth much less tell it. It’s beyond me how people believe this but I know they do! (My sisters)
BTW I cracked up when I saw President Trump dancing after the rally. And yes, I felt JOY ?
POTUS addressed that last night at one of the Ohio rallies (I believe it was at Toledo) when he spoke of the huge amount of money Sleepy Creepy Joe is raking in. He said he could spend a few minutes on the phone and get a large amount of money too, but then he would be beholden to those donors. (paraphrased, of course) He doesn’t like being used or told what to do. LOL A man with a mind of his own. Love my President!
I believe I am correct in this quote from POTUS last night – not exact –
“Joe Biden is asking for support what he should be asking for is forgiveness!”
YES! I recall that. he has such enthusiastic expression and communication. I was so excited. I knew his whole heart was in it.
Love me some VSGPDJT……..!
Excellent post, Sundance. Our country, the greatest in world history, is clearly at an inflection point of the order of magnitude of our Founding and the Civil War. We fortunately (coincidences being God’s way of remaining anonymous) have the perfect leader for our time, as Washington and Lincoln were for theirs. A leader who has been preparing for this challenge for his entire life. I believe that Our President’s unmasking and taking down of this evil, sinister, dark force that we’re up against, the “Deep State”, will be his, and our, greatest accomplishment. All of the forces arrayed against him – and us – are a part, including the Marxist Dems, the Drive Bye Propaganda Media, the Political Class, the Globalists, the Anarchists, the Never Trumpers, and the list goes on. I keep coming across an 80/20 ratio. The percentage of blacks who want the same or more policing in their neighborhoods. The percentage of voters who want the violence stopped. The percentage of Green Bay Packer season ticket holders who declined to renew! (speaking as a lifelong Packer fan and stock owner). It’s popping up all over. I believe that, by the time November 3 comes, The Great Awakening will result in a similar ratio in our election, setting the forces of evil back for decades.
PDJT!!!
????You’re simply the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone!!!????
TRUMP 2020!!!
He is us and we are him ! What a man.
God bless you President Trump
And we are all together in this fight for America and against the Democrat party, its operatives, and its big money benefactors.
I would add that it is a fight for freedom.
Up here in Canada we know many folks that are praying for, and heavily supporting PDJT.
At the U.S./ Canada border crossing that is just a 5 minute drive from our home, there is a massive monument.
The inscription on its top is “Children of a Common Mother”
Although things have changed somewhat.
My bet is millions of we Canadians still appreciate that.
Heart heartwarming. Thank you Canada
Deke, no matter how shaky you might look earlier in the game, you guys always come through in the clutch. We couldn’t have a better neighbor. Plus, you have a great national anthem!
Many people here in Ontario as well supporting and praying for PDJT. Annie you are never alone. Much love from Canada. God Bless PDJT!
My confidence in a total landslide for Trump rises with every speech he delivers. He just is so positive even after all he has been through in the last 4 years. The man is like a monolith, steady, firm and unassailable! Joe is just eating his dust now! Not even a chance he gets elected over Trump. The man is a juggernaught!
I like Ricky Rebel in his parody of YMCA.
I think it’s just fun!
I heard President Trump say this tonight at the Ohio Rally, I had heard it once before but thought it was a miss-say. He said with joy ‘we are the President!’
I love that inclusion not above us as our Commander in Chief, not as our employee but on a par with a shared mission. Astonishing snd wonderful.
I heard that too!
It’s hard NOT to dance to the very uplifting “YMCA” song.
Music is powerful.
And speaking of President Trump dancing, I recently read that Victor Willis of the Village People said:
“Trump is welcome to continue using “YMCA” at his re-election rallies —he just wants to see the commander in chief do the iconic dance.”
~from a New York Post piece by Steven Nelson
Well, who knows? Maybe in a little while. We have to wait and see.
🙂
?
Election night.
I was just thinking about that myself. I read their statement about Ricky Rebel’s using it, and President TRUMP using it, and it was very liberal without the usual trashing of the President and the right. SO REFRESHING!
It is nice to know that some people understand they didn’t get where they got without all of US. WE bought their albums, CDs, went to their shows, etc. Music is for everyone.
Then you have B’s like Princess Grande and Princess Madonna who hate America. GET OUT THEN! We don’t need your hate here.
Yes, refreshing indeed.
Very well said, TwoLaine
With our First Lady, Melania, by his side.
My sister just happened to turn a corner in Northport, LI, NY & saw THOUSANDS of people & cars gathering for a Trump Parade out to Riverhead. I heard there was something similar in Pennsylvania. Hell, there might have been 50 such parades last weekend happening all over the country!
The enthusiasm is sky high, but where is the RNC publicizing these events? I don’t expect CBS news to cover them, but where is Fox or OAN?
gildie,
This is why so many Treepers post these rolling protests.??
Social media is the new news. This is why the old guard MSM is losing the battle. We are the new MSM. No longer can the enemy of the people feed us just their version of the story.
Absolutely perfect summation for the words I have been looking for all day long. Thank you.
“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.”
Oh my gosh! President Trump is so cute! (I thought “dances” was going to be a figure of speech)!
Trump wearing 3/4 coat with ballistic panels….. must be heavier than hell ….
I would be worn out wearing that…
secret service must have insisted….
Sundance,
Thank you for what you do. It is very true what you say, about the disheartened population.
Reminds me of my trip to Hungry about 2 years after the fall of USSR. Was walking in a park, on a Sunday afternoon. All the people that were walking over 15 were all walking very disillusioned, no joy or happiness. Only people that were happy and joyful were children below teenage. Very strange observation of all the people going out for a Sunday stroll.
Mentioned that to my parents, they didn’t notice that initially, once pointed out, they couldn’t unseen it. Very strange experience, but that would have been 1.5 generation under communism.
Thanks for sharing that.
Communism crushes the spirit, it’s the only way to control a people.
Sounds familiar somehow…
Uplifting,joyful,full of life.These rallies hold such promise,he brings people up,ever the optimist.
Pushing us towards light,away from the dark.
Pushing us towards a hopeful future.
Pushing us towards a confidence that things are looking up.
Focusing on the positive.
I know we are all praying us through this storm,it too shall pass.
“Our president knows our nation needs joy… He not only senses it, he inherently is tuned into it.”
Perfectly tuned in dancing while the words “young man” are repeatedly sung in contrast to a doddering old fool who refuses to leave his basement.
I must admit, this is the first time I have watched a video of POTUS at a rally. I always selfishly thought since I was not there, what would I gain from watching a political rally?
POTUS is IMPRESSIVE! He is such a contrast to the stiff choreographed suits that I have seen here and there since 1980. He seemed to be enjoying himself dancing to the music, with a genuine connection to everyone in attendance. I imagine he has the same connection to everyone he meets.
I cannot and will not ever believe this man referred to veterans as suckers and losers. It just does not compute given all other actions in his life. I despise the bastards that put forward that smear.
I also imagine Biden dancing to something like “Hair” in the next day or two once he has plenty of practice to memorize the steps.
Oh, my! I think Imhave only missed two.
Can you just see or imagine evil Joe dancing or singing along with Cardi B? She is a rapper I believe, have never heard of her until she had that so-called talk/interview with Biden. Of course evil relates to evil. God Bless PDJT!!!
Debauchery.
WOW! You have oodles of unseen video to go through. How exciting!
I might miss them when they start, or not be able to see all of them, but I always make time to go back and listen. Even if it has been a few days. It’s too good to pass up.
And I always do it on RSBN.
Turn off the tubes and just watch TRUMP. Your lives will be much, much brighter. You don’t need their suppression everything anyway. You don’t need to know what the current gnats are saying. It’s all the same anyway, just recycled. Remember, they get paid to denigrate you, and that includes FNC.
I would never have thought to use the following description of Donald Trump….
He’s a Happy Warrior.
And after getting “a big, fat shot in his a*s” as someone mentioned. 🙂
Sundance;
Not only do I not despair, but I make it my mission whenever I am out and about to spread some cheer and bring a smile to as many faces as I can. I engage people with anything I can think of that might put a smile on their face.
People are so wrapped up in their own problems, fears, worries, EVENTS, and the never-ending daily chores of life that they tend to forget that every moment you are alive is a gift. Remind them of that with the humor that is all around us.
Example: I was next in line behind a very heavy woman. Her basket contents said she lived alone (I can tell. I’m a proat grocery shopping.) Her weight caused problems for her loading onto the belt and getting the bagged groceries into the cart. She seemed self-conscious and perhaps worried about people in line behind her being impatient, annoyed with her, and probably disapproving of her weight. I showed no signs of that. None whatsoever.
She is paying cash and is having trouble with the bills. I’m not sure why but my guess is something to do with fine motor control. She has some bills ready, tries to get some ones or a five – I don’t know – and she drop a couple of the bills she is holding. Picks them up and tries to get the necessary bills and drops another one. Picks that up for another go and drops yet another bill! Each trip for a bill is hard because she is very, heavy.
Now she’s flustered, embarrassed, and certain I’m annoyed and calling her a fat idiot under my breath. She is NOT looking at me.
Instead, I said in a strong voice, “Lady. If you’re going to keep dropping bills like that I’m going to follow you around for the rest of the day!”
So she looks at me and I’ve got the biggest grin on my face and she laughed and said something like, “Yeah, it might pay.” I forget exactly, but she was drawn out and engaged. The cashier, who had been doing a little impatient toe-tapping had a laugh, too.
As she was leaving, she had gone a few paces, and then she stopped, turned, and with a happy smile, said “You have a nice day, sir.” It wasn’t the trite version. Her heart was in it and she meant it and I knew she was going to have a cheerful heart for the rest of her day.
.
.
.
So if you’re comfortable in your own skin, at peace with your life (“Living your best life” as *ahem* someone around here often says), spread a little of that around if you have some extra to share.
It’s downright seditious to the fear that the commie-left-liberal-Dems are trying to demoralize us with.
My favorite line: It is a genuinely patriotic position not to succumb to the attack.
Tried to like but wouldn’t let me…..I bet happened to many others. You are spot on with how that Lady felt. I have a close relative who is over weight . Equal to the physical weight they carry is the weight of sadness and embarrassment. Not all people are over weight because they can’t control their food intake. Good on you for being so kind.
Thank you for your kindness.
I have primary whole body lymphedema which causes me to look obese, but I’m not obese. I’m a very small woman carrying around almost 50 lbs of lymphatic fluid and just look obese. Not many people know of whole body lymphedema, but many know of lymphedema in one arm from breast cancer surgery.
It is amazing and disheartening the difference in how some people have treated me from before the lymphedema became severe when I was younger and it was not that noticeable to now when it is severe.
That lady’s inability to use her fingers properly is what made me think of this. Even my fingers get swollen. What is amazing is in the morning before I get up out of bed, my legs and feet are skinny, and my arms are normal (my torso and shoulders are huge), then I stand up, and all the lymph fluid flows to my extremities making me look obese. It’s saddening and maddening.
I bring this up not for pity, but to educate people. Not everyone you see see that is fat or obese looking is because they are fat from overeating. There are other reasons they may look like that.
Thank you
H.R., bless you for being so kind. 🙂
Amen fellow Treepers!
Joy wins!

Love you Sarah! Please take out Lisa for us! ?
One of my favorite Sundance quotes.
The MSM expects us to accept that a demented old snake reading a teleprompter to five people in circles counters a MAGA Rally!
The Chinese PLA calls Social Media their most effective weapon against us with the affectionate title “Our Fifty Cent Army”.
The Treehouse is not just a refuge, it is a cool shady pool to refresh, relate and re-orient.
Being our Best Self is what it’s all about
Love me some Sarah !

Even Sarah P gets the Wordpess daily double, lol!
Love you, lovely lady! ❤
You’re awesome Sarah. My wife and I voted for you in 08 along with what’s his name. If you had of been on the top of the ticket in 08 we would of not had to endure Barry the mistake of 08!
God Bless!
I literally cried with joy the day you came on stage having been announced as VP running mate. (I do not cry easily.)
I was filled with hope and honor to hear from a strong conservative woman who shared my values!
I am sorry for those who mistreated you, their punishment awaits in the after life, and grateful you were willing to take their slings and arrows. You rock!
Sarah, you are the reason I voted for that ticket in 2008. You deserved a far better running mate. The way he and his advisers treated you was despicable and exactly the way people intent on throwing the match would act. You have always been a beautiful and very classy person, and we would have been blessed to have you first as VP, then as President. May God smile on you and bless you with all the favors He can give. Thank you for doing your best for the country!
1 Joyful, joyful, we adore You,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before You,
Op’ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!
3 Always giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean-depth of happy rest!
Loving Father, Christ our Brother,
Let Your light upon us shine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.
4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
God’s own love is reigning o’er us,
Joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.
I love this hymn. My daughter let me choose the recessional for her Wedding and I picked this joyful , joyful , Ode to Joy. I see all these “be Kind“ signs and I want a yard sign that’s says “Love one another” Every stanza is filled with Love. Thanks everyone for the great posts and videos tonight. I liked the M AGA video. Fun! I’m hoping for a Trump rally near me. Our President is so positive. It is the press that brings everybody down.
I was reading the daily passages for “ The return” which is going to happen Saturday in DC. We need to pray for America. America needs God and we need a leader like President Trump to allow us the freedom to seek God and help each other in Love for one another. Who wants to join the party of hate.? I want to be with Gods joyful chorus trying to make our world a better place for all mankind. Life is Good because God is good.
Amen!!
Beautiful!
Hey Trump campaign team!
Can one of you guys teach Don the YMCA moves before the next rally? It’s really simple and it would be hilarious. Sure it’s corny, the whole song is corny, the Village People were… well, just WEIRD. But yeah, just 4 simple little arm gestures… DO IT! 😀 😀
As someone noted here, he likely has ballistic plates in his body armor. Even if it didn’t interfere with his movements, I suspect such could make that armor much easier to recognize. Just wagging. I trust PDJT to know not to give the bad guys an inch, unless, of course, it’s to draw them closer to the alligator pit.
Maquis,
Believe that you want crocodiles, not alligators. Just Saying ???
Sundance,
This post hit me like the old Mennen commercials, where I am slapped and say, “Thanks, I needed that.
Thanks Sundance, I needed that.
I am now more positive than before and am working hard to change what I can change re this election.
Norman Vincent Peale gave a sermon every Sunday The Trump famiky attended most.
YUP! And llok what a difference it made.
London England 1944/1945 under siege from the Nazis.
That’s how I view normal America right now.
What did it accomplish for the Nazis?
Only to strengthen the resolve of the British people.
That’s also what I see in America right now.
I really love that man. I hope history accurately reflects his contributions to our great country.
I rather suspect much of the entire globe will celebrate him.
Lol, I love it!!
Amen!
When I see all the mask wearers, it reminds me of a rock tune from my youth…
Eyes cast down on the path of least resistance
Cities full of hatred fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise
___
I refuse to submit, or participate in it. Most optimists won’t. PDJT dancing connects, with an unspoken me neither. The Happy Warriors. The Left is having their day, but they’ll be beaten, and badly.
Wow!! I am 79 and these comments really started the day off right!!!
Bless you, Annie O. I pray that your heart and mind are uplifted every day, an that you did the best days are yet to come. ?
Landslide!!! We love our Lion. Sundance is 100% right. Pray and stay Positive Patriots.
Great message, Sundance. Good timing. Thank you.
Wow! What a great president.
Two comments, one short, one lengthier.
First, hearing our RINO and RATA* Nanny-Stater Governor Dewine get booed, along with his toady Husted, right in front of the president was a delicious moment.
Second, the message from President Trump, the positive, hopeful message from President Trump stands light-years apart from the angry, anti-American, doom-and-gloom message from the DEMS. By chance I was reading recently an essay from 2014 by a former Russian now living in America named Masha Gessen, and her topic was the slow suicide of Russia via extremely high death rates from all kinds of things and the extremely low birth rate.
After examining the 103 years of both Communism and now Communism 2.0 under Putin, with only a handful of years where there was at least some freedom, and after examining all the usual suspects for early death (bad diets, alcoholism and drug abuse, etc.) the author finds an over-arching factor perhaps causing, perhaps exacerbating, the national suicide:
…if Russians are dying for lack of hope, as they seem to be—then the question that is still looking for its researcher is, Why haven’t Russians experienced hope in the last quarter century? Or, more precisely in light of the grim continuity of Russian death, What happened to Russians over the course of the Soviet century that has rendered them incapable of hope? In The Origins of Totalitarianism, Hannah Arendt argues that totalitarian rule is truly possible only in countries that are large enough to be able to afford depopulation. The Soviet Union proved itself to be just such a country on at least three occasions in the twentieth century—teaching its citizens in the process that their lives are worthless. Is it possible that this knowledge has been passed from generation to generation enough times that most Russians are now born with it and this is why they are born with a Bangladesh-level life expectancy? Is it also possible that other post-Soviet states, by breaking off from Moscow, have reclaimed some of their ability to hope, and this is why even Russia’s closest cultural and geographic cousins, such as Belarus and Ukraine, aren’t dying off as fast? If so, Russia is dying of a broken heart—also known as cardiovascular disease.”
Masha Gessen is the author of “The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia,” which won the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2017. ”
My emphasis above.
And so the DEMS have plugged right into a quasi-philosophy that a population must be demoralized into hopelessness so that the DEM agenda of totalitarian egalitarianism can dominate the country. The constant chanting of “YOU ARE A RACIST! YOU ARE UNFAIR! YOU ARE TOO WELL-OFF! YOU OPPRESS THE POOR! YOUR RELIGION IS UNTRUE! SCIENCE IS REAL! RACISM IS REAL! THE MILITARY CAUSES WARS! BORDERS ARE ILLEGAL! POLICE ARE THE PROBLEM! YOU ARE KILLING THE PLANET! YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!” is meant to do what the author now sees as the legacy of Communism in Russia: the killing and burial of hope, so that the few people at the top can live well.

* Reach Across The Aisle – Dewine did this most infamously by appointing a Pro-Abortion DEM as his State Health Director, a certain “Dr. Amy Acton” (Pronounced the way Tommy Lee Jones pronounced “Dr. Richard Kimball” in The Fugitive), whom the media and DEMS quickly turned into a rising star. Yard signs began sprouting “BE AN ACTON HERO!” I will bet she will be running for Dewine’s spot in 2 years!
Ausonious – thank you for that effort. So interesting and it seems to me right on target.
That is why our Presidents efforts to now insist that Patriotism is brought back to our schools is imperative. Being aware of the myriad of goals education master minds were planning since 1995, the generational impact can destroy a population.
If you want to delve more deeply into education BTW, look no further than:

I missed the DeWine getting booed part. I hope it’s still in the video. I’d love to hear it. I hope he looked around and saw all the patriots from Ohio and how much they love Our President. I also hope he knows the people behind President Trump were asked to wear masks, not mandated to wear them. I guess the campaign didn’t want to give the media any help finding something to clutch their pearls about . Whatever.
yes engage everyone!
be thankful! 45 told us what to do: Vote by mail and vote in person if there is no record of your vote! there are TENS OF MILLIONS MORE OF AMERICA FIRST VOTERS!
modern elections come down to simple demos…
45 WON WHITE WOMEN AGAINST A WHITE WOMAN!
45 is winning Hispanics! Asians! Right now, he’s 25% with Blacks…if it goes to 33%, 45 WINS EVERY STATE IN THE UNION!
What if, instead of counter protesting these leftist, we threw street parties with food, music and entertainment instead? Show them we are all happy with our lives and having fun watching their melt downs.
AKA a Trump Rally?
Good article from TheConservativeTreehouse about the Joy found in life itself. … … Trump has always said, ‘People have fun at his Rallies.’ Though in 2020, Trump calls his Rallies, = ‘Peaceful Protests’. [A humorous idea from Trump summing-up, ‘Peaceful Protests’, the current news ~and the China Flu regulations.]
Republicans want all Americans to do well in life; both financially and spiritually. God Bless America.
SD’s tweet last evening:
Something in the background is happening with an investigation of Andrew Weissmann for his work while on the special counsel….
I don’t know what it pertains to, but there is an investigation (formal or not… not sure).

seems to be a tease of something forthcoming. Barr’s Hillsdale speech sort of hints in same direction. SD has some type of inside connection that has proven reliable throughout this saga. Surely keeps you hanging on every post.
Seeing that SOB get his just dessert would make my day.
What a great way to start my day ??. Thanks Sundance.
HOW MUCH DO I LOVE THIS PRESIDENT!
