… and Benny Johnson was there to watch, and later describe, the events:

I ask [Nigel Farage] what it is like to come to the United States and have the President ask you to dinner. Farage says:

“Well it’s really quite wonderful. But as I’ve gotten to know Donald, it really just does not surprise me. You know what amazes me about your President? He is a regular bloke. Truly. Just a normal chap. Upstairs at dinner, he spoke to the table like any regular guy out to dine with friends and family. There is no pretension at all.”

This is a Sunday discussion that’s more important than the traditional Sunday “blather”.  Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartriomo to discuss President Trump economics.
Rejoice all ye econ and political geeks. Massive amounts of wholesome insight within the interview as Secretary Mnuchin discusses the budget, budgetary priorities, and yes, budgetary “goals” to include entitlement priority retention.   Mnuchin also discusses regulatory reform, financial reform the federal reserve.

.
Just like General Kelly (DHS), General Mattis (DoD) and T-Rex (DoS), Steve Mnuchin at treasury is exactly the right guy for this intensely consequential moment in time.  I shall frame the first $1 bill I discover with his signature.

Part IV – Much of what we need to know about President Donald Trump’s approach we can discover within two books we know he read several years ago:  Dr. Norman Vincent Peale – “The Power of Positive Thinking”, and Zig Ziglar – “Goals“.

If you had been publicly opposed to the chosen economic fork in the road for over 30 years; •if you were now 68-years-old and fed-up with the continuation down the wrong path; •if you were planning and strategically thinking in big, bold and consequential terms about taking on the challenge of realignment; •if you knew the scope of the challenge and all those who would oppose your efforts; •if you established personal financial security for yourself and your family in preparation,… well perhaps, just perhaps you would have studied and mapped out a goal when you stepped into the arena.
What remains is execution of a plan.

One of the reasons why President Trump continues to give the media trouble is because he speaks common sense truths directly about issues.  In the latest example the people, not leaders, within the Democrat party know what he’s saying is fundamentally accurate.
Bernie Sanders appearing on CNN responded when questioned about the issue, and everyone notes Sanders doesn’t actually dispute what Trump is highlighting.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

It is customary on the final day of CPAC for the results of a straw poll to be announced.  One year ago CPAC attendees were predominantly members of the #NeverTrump variety, they even had a plan to walk out of CPAC if candidate Donald Trump delivered a speech.
Despite the campaign of CONpac #NeverTrump to destroy the candidate, as a result of the overwhelming ‘outsider’ ‘grassroots’ ‘common sense’ deplorable electorate, candidate Donald Trump is now President Donald Trump.

1,447 attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference participated in the straw poll.  Today CPAC released the results: (more…)

The annual White House Correspondents Dinner actually has nothing to do with the White House.  It is an annual dinner the Washington DC Media host to praise themselves, and over the past several years has devolved into a vulgar display of elitism, snobbery and pontificating disconnect. Presidents’ are invited to attend, President Trump has declined:
While not a campaign promise, the decision not to attend is another indication that President Trump is listening to the people.  The WHCA snowflake elitism and their ideological alignment with their Hollywood invited guests personifies the DC disconnect.
