I KNEW HE WAS DEAD.
Probably dead months ago. They just want to put the FLAG at half mast for Trump’s inauguration.
Why spread lies? It only hurts the momentum we have. Be a bigger person and be respectful.
Being truthful is being respectful….just sayin’
Yup.
Yeah, I thought I heard/read that Jimmy died months ago?
I DID READ SONWHERE HE DIED IN THE 2022…
Well, the Carter family agreed to do this. Let us therefore tomorrow perform the full National ceremony. With all of the “decorations, pomp, and circumstance.”
(Then, they will quietly bring him home …)
Let us all now, at this very somber time, simply focus our attention upon the individual man: “Jimmy Carter.” And, his individual fulfillment of the: “Office of the President.”
Because, perhaps, “the Office” is, in the end, the very-most important of all. Many young men have come to it. Many old men have left. And, every single one of them failed to meet expectations.
I’m not sure that I am following your post.
I read that post as “Honor the office if not the man.”
I’m simply saying that it is proper to honor any President who has passed. With a “21” gun salute, and flags lowered for “30” days, as is customary. You may have despised the (wo)man, but do not besmirch the Office of the President and those who have held it.
Carter did die on that day – at long, long last. (For quite a long time, he was “‘alive’ in name only,” and now he is forever reunited with his beloved Roslyn.) It is coincidence that the customary half-staff time coincides with Inauguration Day. I believe that we can celebrate a new President, and honor a deceased one, at the same time. And that this is the proper thing to do without further objection.
I did not know if the family would agree to a “State” funeral, or simply perform the very private family ceremony in Plains. But, this is what they decided. So be it: “do it all.”
I think that Trump should simply glance up at the still-lowered flag and say a few nice words about Carter. Pause for a moment of respectful silence. Then, move on with the celebration at hand. Done. Everybody understands.
Carter did die on that day…..
You know this how?
Is it possible they kept his husk on life support so he could die at what the craven demoncrats see as a time to damage POTUS 47?
The flag has been raised every time for inauguration. There should be no difference for Trump‘s.
Absolutely not! There are dispicable people who have held that office and degraded it because of their presence, and their feet up on the Resolute Desk. They deserve no resect. They deserve history telling the facts and the truth about their time in office.
Barry Soetoro, an unqualified foreign national whose sole goal was/is the destruction of America as founded by our forebears. I will spit on his grave.
Joe Biden, the East Coast mob stooge who bullied his way to power, treated non-consenting voices in the Senate with derision, and undermined the Constitution. Barry said ‘he could eff up anything’, and did. In his twilight years, he served as Barry’s 3rd term spendin 40% of his time on vacation. He discraced the Office, and in his final month, is doing everything he can to undermine the Constitutoin and the incoming President! Is respect due when he finally assumes room temperature? Absolutely not!
Bill Clinton disgraced the Office in ways you all know. He too bullied his way to power in Arkansas, ran the drugs trade through Mena, and so on. How many people are no longer alive because they’ve crossed the Clintons?
Those who were put in Office by falsified, stolen elections deserve nothing but contempt, even in their passing. To venerate evil is in itself evil. Those who diminished the Office, embarrasing it and our nation deserve no respect. They deserve the contempt they’ve earned.
Well said my friend. You are absolutely correct about venerating evil and we should stop doing it at every turn and in every place. Call it out for what it is. Truth matters no matter when or where. Jesus never had a hard time calling out the powers of his day calling them sons of satan, hypocrites, vipers, blind guides, perverters of truth. He is our example, never give evil ground.
“I think that Trump should simply glance up at the still-lowered flag and say a few nice words about Carter. Pause for a moment of respectful silence.”
Should he choose to do this, he will take the wind out of the sails of anyone who delights in the “image” of half-mast at his inauguration.
He would honor the Office as he takes it back from fools.
The office of president has already been besmirched many times over.
Carter is a treasonous b@st@rd. Installing the current Iranian regime alone merits howling condemnation and tarnished his reputation. But he did so many other evil acts with that pious facade.
F—k’em.
On the bright side, he finally did something we can agree with.
I see what you dead there…
🤙
Yes, and the dinosaur media made sure to inform us how FJC “voted” for Kamala Harris, much the same way that FJB “creates” and “signs” executive orders.
So according to the dinosaur media FJC was a POS to the very end!
SPIT!!!
All the Democraps (and RINOs) are.
Let’s not forget giving away the Panama Canal!!!
“But he did so many other evil acts with that pious facade.”
Having lived through and experienced his administration, I understand your point of view. However, I feel it’s only fair to look at his time in office using a modern pair of glasses.
With the first Trump administration, I believe all of us were given a more detailed exposure to the depths of depravity that is often referred to as the “deep state” ie; the D.C. swamp. With that in mind, looking back at the Carter years I wonder just how much of what happened was his doing, his ideas, and how much of it was the evil in the background using a very gullible Carter for deflection and cover. Was his first day in office met with: “Nice administration ya got there Jimmy…..shame if something happened to it”………..?
Point.
At least Ron De Sanctimonious had the ‘decency’ to finally look overwhelmed, shell shocked and tortured (and then so happy when he got to bow out). I didn’t see that with Jimmy.
No excuses.
Contrary to the populare noise at the moment, the US never owned the Panama Canal even though we built it after the French attempt. Read “The Path Between the Seas: The Creation of the Panama Canal, 1870-1914” by David McCoullough. Fabulous book. We owned the rights to operate the Canal, and ‘The Man from Plains’ sold the rights for $1.00 costing the US uncalculable sums and the protection of our security interests. Should we still manage the Canal, I would like to think the Chinese would not be the operators as the are in our homeland ports.
Hopefully, they served peanut butter sandwiches with extra malaise.
^^^And bananas in memory of the great Elvis Presley whose 90th birthday was yesterday.
I would pray for Jimmy Carter’s soul, but I could never respect the A$$&#!@. I had to live under his disastrous presidency.
Your comment strikes the correct balance. I will pray for his immortal souls and those in Cali, but, Carter is a fiend and an enemy of mankind.
The man is dead, too late to pray for his soul.
Roman Catholics follow a tradition that a soul can be prayed into heaven.

Please look on the internet for more details.
Its crazy but we had more then than ever since. CDs i think were 18%, Interest 12% yet Salaries were low then, we owned a Home, had Money to run round, both of us were working, but the best part was Banks would let you skip Dec Payment, and you could deduct all Credit Card Expenses so we got as much as 8K back. Hubs ws a Athletic Goods Salesman so traveled 6 States. If we could get that back at least People would feel like they had Money to spend
The flip side of that was the struggling lower class trying to get by. Not an easy thing to do, financing a used car loan at 21% interest.
I was 23 when I bought my first home with an 18% to death.
10% inflation year over year during President Carter’s term.
I, for one, didn’t enjoy longlines at gasoline stations or having to plan a road trip, business or pleasure, around where you could buy fuel. All done without a cell phone or a computer!
I don’t get it… why is it PRESIDENT Donald Trump but FORMER First Lady Melania Trump?
“FORMER First Lady Melania Trump”
For a “FORMER” FLOTUS she looks fabulous. She also looks very, very au courant “.
Au tres courant.
Technically, it’s NOT President Trump, it’s President ELECT… until the inauguration. In January 20th it’s President Trump and 1st Last Melania.
Technically, you are incorrect. A former president of the United States continues to carry the honorific title of “President” the rest of his/her life. There is no honorific title “Former” President! When a medical doctor retires from practice you don’t call them “former” doctor.
I believe it’s respect for the office. They call people governor or senator as well even after they retire or leave the office. I just think they don’t defer to the First Lady like that. I could be wrong.
Respectful. Classier than the left .
And while we’re on the subject…………Would it be possible for the press to show a little respect once in a while, and not hound the President elect with an endless barrage of questions as he makes his way into the Rotunda? He’s there to pay his respects to a late United States president. This is not the time to try and instigate an impromptu press conference.
I agree. I was kind of hoping President Trump would’ve said “no questions…let’s please have some respect on this occasion”. But I’m not Pres. Trump.
I trust PDJT knows a lot better than you, me or most Americans how much Carter hurt our country, and gave the POS the time and attention he deserved.
I liked it. Both the press and the Prez showed exactly the right amount of respect for one of the worst presidents ever.
I was no fan of President Carter. Liked him as much as President Biden. I pray that he got right with God before he died.
AMEN.
Carter might have helped build a lot of housing units, but he was responsible for a lot of deaths in the Middle East over the past 45 years.
Has President Trump selected a new Director of the Secret Service? I haven’t see anything about it but am concerned about holdovers who are either incompetent or worse….
Asking because seeing him back in DC brings to mind all of the people there who hate him!
My thoughts exactly.
He despises them back & it showed.
When naming the a new Director of the Secret Service I suspect the best strategy is to wait until Trump is actually President.
At the beginning of this video, you all saw that President Trump was leading the Senate Coalition. That would never have happened if this was 2017.
President Trump has the receipts on every one who worked against him in the 2020 election. They know it, he knows that they know it and he is in complete control.
That is his leverage.
Thank You, Sundance, for posting this wonderful video with our stalwart President and beautiful First Lady paying their respect. President Trump said it best when he said you could respect the person, the individual and the good that they were able to accomplish, while disagreeing with their policies, ideas and the bad that they ensued.
Hmm, did the current White House resident pay his respects yet? His V.P.? How ’bout Obama? Clinton?
Oh, well, doesn’t really matter. No one in America gives a crap about any of them. The TRUE US President since 2017, paid his respects, which in the end, is all that counts. Carter served his country in the US Navy and elected office. Trump paid the man respect for this, because that’s the kind of man Trump is.
January 20th, come quickly. (Better yet, Savior Jesus, come sooner than that. One can always hope and pray for better … 😏)
Kamala is on a round-the-world tour to inform various heads of state of the “accomplishments” of the Biden administration.
“And for coming in second, you have won the consolation prize, an all-expense paid trip around the world, Kamala…”
Biden is probably scared that they will think he’s more dead than the one in the coffin. Side by side it could be an honest mistake?
Were there any envelopes handed out at this funeral?
Asking on behalf McC…
One thing no one talks of—. He visited 3 mile island and saw the minimal problem and what caused it. He was a naval nuke officer and held respect… he dillydalled over a B&w valve that … wasn’t and hadn’t worked well forever…. In the meantime the bureaucracy ran in and created billions of regulations that stroked fear and shot the cost of nuke electricity into the stratosphere … in that lapse the nuke reg agency exploded into a mega monster.
how much $$$ has the industry lost since then and … passed on to YOU?
Luckily SNL, when it was still a highly respected news source, covered President Carter’s visit to 2 Mile Island in an investigative news story called, “The Pepsi Syndrome”.
Maybe the greatest SNL skit of all time. Dan Ackroyd, Bill Murray, Garret Morris, Jane Curtin, Gilda Radner, Larraine Newman, Jim Belushi, Richard Benjamin, Rodney Dangerfield, Franken and Davis.
15 minutes long! Also starring the Giant Colossal President, Barbra Wawa and the 50 foot cleaning woman.
Oops! Here we go!

What is a B&W valve?
If looks could kill, I believe our First Lady would have left several media hyenas in a lifeless, flea-bitten heap for their blatant disrespect and yapping lack of simple decency.
As always, I greatly appreciate the class and dignity displayed by the Trumps today.
They always represent and reflect well upon us.
May God always bless and keep them.
And yet, we have Joey Two Scoops lecturing us about “decency”.
Yes, dirty old and decrepit stinky joe is a master of projection, isn’t he?
The boss is back and he is pissed.
Clever title!!! President Trump and the First Lady are paying respects to “Dead” President Carter and not so much President Carter. That dead president might be worthy of some respect unless he’s a vampire and we have to endure him a second time.
Did anyone drive a stake through his heart?
The old fool has been dead for decades. His grandson was cashing the social security checks, and he was making money off his body. He even started an onlyfans for Jimmy Carter. Gross.
At least he wasn’t senile, a blatant cheat/thief, or a pervert.
RIP
I don’t like Thune being in every picture right behind him. Don’t like it at all!
Nice quiet respectful.
Old SNL skit about General Franco still being dead. Way back when SNL was a comedy show.
Oh that headline, Sundance.
But for the Grace of God, these roles weren’t reversed…
Whatever happened to Mike Johnson’s promise to “get to the bottom of” Butler, PA? Just a vanilla report on SS “mistakes made”… And now, it’s memory-holed.
F carter……how’s hell jimmy?
It’s got to be a prescient moment for past presidents to know they are seeing their future repose in the capitol rotunda as well.
“Ask not for Whom the bell tolls …..”
My thoughts exactly.
I was worried about all of them being in same place at same time. Crowds and all. Safety could be issue
Jimmy Carter – a massive WASTE of TIME. Can’t believe they closed the markets for the second worst president in American history. Just because he is 100 years dead doesn’t make him worthwhile. He FAILED to serve America and improve the lives of Americans.
Ah yes, President Biden, come have a look at the Late former President Jimm-eh Carter.
How does it feel to meet a former President that was about as stupid as you have been, sir?
Note the piece of trash reporter, shouting political questions at Trump AS HE ENTERS A MEMORIAL SERVICE.
Can’t these MSM jagoffs just shut up and show some respect ONCE in their crappy lives?
