Stopped by a shop in Keystone, South Dakota earlier today and had a Trump 2020 shirt made.
I asked the owner if she sold many Trump shirts and she told me that in the last two years she's sold thousands of them to people from all across the country. Hundreds of them to people from Canada and even a few to people from Europe. Online orders are pouring in and she's making and shipping them out fast as she can.

You leftists have no concept of what you're up against.
You take on the American people and you'll lose every time...
Besides the undeniable fact that we were building lifelong memories last week I learned a and confirmed a few things I had only suspected up till now.
I've confirmed that South Dakota is without a doubt Trump country.
The shop owner I visited with was as strong pro-American and pro-Trump as anyone I've ever come across but she wasn't alone.
This particular shop in Keystone, South Dakota wasn't by any stretch of the imagination an isolated example.
You see, Keystone, South Dakota sits at the base on Mt. Rushmore and it's main drag is lined with the same kind of shops on both sides of the street for as far as you can see.
I'd say it's safe to say that at least half of them proudly displayed their pro-Trump merchandise.
I noticed the same thing in the towns of Hot Springs, Sturgis, and Deadwood.
I saw more Trump / Pence bumper stickers last week than I've ever seen before.
Another thing I noticed was how happy and friendly everyone I encountered seemed to be.
And I'm not talking just the locals either.
I'm talking more specifically about the tourists I encountered while we were visiting Mt. Rushmore itself.
I thought about this and came to the conclusion that Mt. Rushmore is more about a celebration of America itself than anything else.
It's a celebration of its history, its culture, its past, present, and its future.
Its the kind of place that most patriotic Americans can truly appreciate.
But its also the exact kind of place that represents everything today's democrat party and the America-hating leftists despise.
Anyway, we all had a great time but we're all in agreement that it's nice to be home.
Oh, and Skippey, I found the Old #10 saloon in Deadwood where Wild Bill Hickok was shot and killed.
I also found the new #10. And yes, I dropped a $50 bill into a slot machine which disappeared in about 15 minutes.

Good Grief, all that was very nice my friend good to know you are back, good times are getting harder to come by now days...

ReplyDeleteI don't think its been sleeping at all. In fact I think its been wide awake all along.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason you don't hear a lot from our side is because we're busy working for a living and taking care of our families...
The left wing loons on the other hand mostly live with their parents and have nothing but time on their hands...
They built a newer #10 with gambling. I had a job there once years back. And I believe that door next to the old 10 was the purple door if I remember right. You could go up stairs and meet the ladies of the night. And it was still going when I was up there. But that's been some years ago.
ReplyDeleteYes this is the stuff America is made out of and why it was made. People like our a hole bud Dimm Witt In DC wouldn't last a day in Sturgis S D the first week of Aug. This is why people like him and his little band of rats have to stay where they are. They couldnt ever have a vacation in places like S D Or even Topeka Ks. That is why he hates us and Ks so bad. He knows full well that we are the real people of this movement and we are what America was made for.
ReplyDeleteSkippey, I've updated today's blog to include the New #10 you spoke of.
ReplyDeleteIs it the same one?
Yes that one with the gambling was the one I was teasing you about leaving your money at. Did Linda get any Black Hills Gold? I use to go up there every year for 14 yrs. I got to know my way around and almost moved up there but the winters aren't much fun. Its a great state.
ReplyDeleteNah, she settled for Black Hills T-Shirts and refrigerator magnets...
ReplyDeleteI just seen this. I don't know if it FACT or FAKE
ReplyDeleteYa'all understand what just happened with Iran; right???? Deep State hits two tankers and then shoots down an American drone, which is an act of war. President Trump calls Pelosi and Schumer into his office and details the American response to them which is retaliation using military force. Pelosi and Schumer celebrate outside of Trumps office (captured on film) because they are deep state and they finally dragged Trump into war. Minutes before the military operation was to launch President calls the mission off. Why? Pelosi and Schumer left his office and contacted Brennan who alerted the operatives in Iran to the location of the strike so they could move as many woman and children into the hit zone as possible. Once all this played out and President had it all recorded, President called off the strike.
If we were living in a normal world the scenario you just described would be impossible.
ReplyDeleteBut since we're living in the world where the democrats and other assorted Trump haters are willing to do whatever it takes to destroy The President of The United States the above scenario absolutely seems possible if not probable.

Of course in the article Pelosi still takes political jabs at President Trump, but that's to be expected. But at least she's taken a step in the right direction by agreeing some of the border funding.

U.S. cyberattack strikes Iran's military computers
By Ben Wolfgang - The Washington Times - Sunday, June 23, 2019
The U.S. launched a sweeping cyberattack against the Iranian military last week in direct response to Iran’s downing of an American surveillance drone, U.S. officials told the Associated Press over the weekend, confirming that President Trump personally approved the retaliatory measures.
The response was aimed at Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a branch of the nation’s military that the White House officially labeled a terrorist organization earlier this year. The cyberattack targeted computer systems that control the Corps’ rocket and missile launchers, administration officials said.
Yahoo News first reported the strike over the weekend.
The cyberattack was presented to the president as one of several options following last week’s incident in which Iran shot down a U.S. drone over the Strait of Hormuz. While no Americans were abroad the aircraft, the shoot-down still added more fuel to growing military tensions between the two sides and brought Mr. Trump to the brink of ordering airstrikes against Iranian targets.
The president said he called off those air strikes after learning 150 people would be killed, but he reiterated over the weekend that the White House will keep the pressure on Tehran. He stressed that the U.S. will not allow Iran to ever acquire nuclear weapons.
“Iran cannot have Nuclear Weapons! Under the terrible Obama plan, they would have been on their way to Nuclear in a short number of years, and existing verification is not acceptable,” the president tweeted Saturday. “We are putting major additional Sanctions on Iran on Monday. I look forward to the day that … Sanctions come off Iran, and they become a productive and prosperous nation again — The sooner the better!”
Mr. Trump last year withdrew the U.S. from a multinational deal to limit Iran’s nuclear program, arguing the pact was too lax. The administration then quickly imposed a crushing set of economic sanctions, and earlier this year put in place a global embargo on imports of Iranian oil.
As for last week’s cyberattack on Iran, details remained murky on Sunday. Military and intelligence officials did not immediately comment on the attack, though officials in recent days have said that the U.S. will fight back against increasing Iranian aggression in cyberspace.
“In these times of heightened tensions, it is appropriate for everyone to be alert to signs of Iranian aggression in cyberspace and ensure appropriate defenses are in place,” the National Security Agency told the AP in a statement on Friday.
While the extent of the cyberattack isn’t clear, it certainly isn’t the first time the U.S. has targeted Iranian infrastructure through a cyber assault.
Late last decade, the Stuxnet computer virus — which most observers believe was a joint U.S.-Israeli project — targeted Iranian centrifuges as part of a broader effort to slow the nation’s nuclear program.
Iranian officials over the weekend did not address the cyberattack but threatened to shoot down more aircraft that violate its airspace. Iran claims the U.S. drone entered its airspace, but administrations deny that claim.
“Our response to anything trespassing Iranian territory is like this, and if such acts of aggression are repeated, our response will also be the same,” said Revolutionary Guard Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, as quoted by Iran’s Fars News Agency.
In addition to the drone shoot-down, Iran also allegedly has carried out a string of limpet mine attacks on oil tankers in the region. Iranian leaders also have said they’ll begin disregarding the terms of the Obama-era nuclear agreement and will dramatically increase their stockpiles of uranium.

from one of the comments at the bottom of the Iran article on Washington Times:
ReplyDelete"Our President is always one step ahead of the liberal Trump haters. Just when they thought they had Trump in a bind by calling him basically a coward for not attacking Iran for it's downing of an American drone, he authorizes a "cyber strike" knocking out Iran's military computers neutralizing Iran's ability to use its missiles."

'Burn that rag!' Activists to desecrate the flag at Trump July Fourth rally
by Steven Nelson | June 24, 2019 04:38 PM
Sparks will fly in Washington as activists torch an American flag to protest President Trump's July Fourth "Salute to America," which Trump claims will be one of the largest events in city history.
Longtime flag-burning activist Gregory "Joey" Johnson of the Revolutionary Communist Party told the Washington Examiner, "I'm going to be there in D.C.," and "that rag of empire and oppression is going to burn."
Johnson is well known for winning a 1989 Supreme Court case that invalidated state laws against flag burning. He declined to share the time and location of next week's protest or say how many other activists will participate.
Trump will appear at the Lincoln Memorial at 6:30 p.m., ahead of fireworks at dusk. Last week, Trump endorsed a proposed constitutional amendment that would recriminalize flag burning, overriding the Supreme Court. Trump tweeted the amendment was a "no brainer!"
There's no reason to doubt Johnson's seriousness. He and about a dozen fellow members of the Revolutionary Communist Party staged high-profile flag burnings in 2016 at the Republican and Democratic conventions. This month, he won a $225,000 settlement from Cleveland, Ohio, over his arrest protesting Trump's nomination.
The group that aided Johnson at the 2016 conventions announced the burnings in advance. At both protests, outraged veterans attempted to stop him, saying they would not tolerate disrespect to the flag. The communist group chanted "burn that rag!"
Part 2 of 2...
ReplyDeleteJohnson told the Washington Examiner he considers himself an internationalist and supports a vision for global communism.
Trump wants to turn the traditionally nonpartisan Washington celebrations "into a fascist extravaganza of 'make America white again,' xenophobia, jingoism, and American chauvinism. And this is all dangerous to humanity," Johnson said.
"I'll be in town to make it happen and to help expose Trump's fascist agenda with the message that America was never great. America was built on slavery, genocide, and war," Johnson said. "Instead of trying to go back to some dreamland America that never existed, we need to go forward to a world without America and everything it stands for."
Johnson said he's upset about many recent Trump policies. He's angered by escalating tensions with Iran and detention of people who cross the border illegally.
The activist said the flag is "flying over the pens of mass incarceration, filled with 2 million people" and over the "thousands of refugees in dog pens" along the Mexican border.
"And yeah, it's the flag of this shameless fascist jackal Trump," he said.
Johnson traces his political radicalism to his time as an Army brat in the late '60s in West Germany, where at age 12 he said he met anti-Vietnam War soldiers while selling copies of the Stars and Stripes newspaper in mess halls.
"Vets are not all of one mind," he said.
Though socialism is ascendant among Democrats, Johnson says he's not encouraged by presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, a Vermont senator, or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York congresswoman.
"Bernie contributes to and backs up American chauvinism," Johnson said. "Bernie or AOC, when you are talking about the [Democratic Socialists of America], you are talking about sharing the spoils of imperialism.”

ReplyDeleteEven more coming out on the Russia hoax last night. Just days before Trumps inauguration the Obama administration was changing how classified information was handled and disseminated throughout the intelligence agencies. They changed the process that they had been using RIGHT BEFORE they left office, so that the information could be spread to 17 intel organizations rather than just three organizations. This was being done apparently to spread the information and make it harder to track where it was coming from in order to help cover for the "deep state" actions going on. The guys apparently in charge of it was anxious to get it done before the Inauguration so it was in effect when Trump came into office. He noted in an e-mail that he was anxious to get it accomplished as was "the boss". Not sure whether that was referring to Clapper or Obama that he was talking about!

OPINION
Maxine Waters hates Trump so much that she's rooting for Iran
by Becket Adams | June 25, 2019 01:35 PM
Maybe Maxine Waters would like to see Iran invade the U.S. and force regime change?
Waters, D-Calif., took Tehran's side over the weekend after the Islamic Republic's theocratic regime downed an expensive U.S. drone. She took to social media to disparage Trump, even though he had declined to launch retaliatory strikes against Iran, asserting that the U.S. military brought the incident upon itself by violating Iranian airspace, something the Pentagon denies.
“Trump, you get no credit for so-called stopping the strike against Iran,” Waters said on social media.
She added, “Why was the unmanned drone in Iran's airspace? Why the surveillance? Don't provoke and then pretend innocence.”

This is equal parts insane and shameful.
First, the drone, which was shot down Thursday, spurring the White House to consider a military response, was not in Iranian airspace, according to the Pentagon. Only Tehran claims otherwise. You will excuse me if I take the word of the U.S. military over that of the crazed, wild-eyed, death-to-America, terrorist-funding Iranian regime.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, Iran is the number one state sponsor of terrorism, according to the U.S. State Department. Covertly monitoring the lunatics of Tehran would certainly be warranted. It is insane that Waters would suggest otherwise.
Lastly, the president still stumbled into doing something good last week when he decided at the last minute to call off military strikes on Iranian targets. For now, we have been spared another potentially lengthy, costly, and fatal conflict in the Middle East. You would think that the same members of Congress who so enthusiastically backed the disastrous, since-scuttled Iran nuclear deal would cheer Trump’s dovishness on this issue. But you would be wrong, especially if you look to Waters for leadership, as the “resistance” does. Resisting Trump means resisting everything he says and does, regardless of the issue.
Some of the congresswoman's House colleagues, including Dan Crenshaw, are right to be incensed.
“This is a shocking comment from a House Committee Chairwoman. She is literally repeating the lies of the Iranian regime,” the Texas Republican lawmaker said. “What a disgrace. Maxine Waters’ hate for Trump runs so deep that she is willing to take Iran’s side over the word of our military.”

It was bad enough when Waters' "resistance" schtick was just to encourage progressive activists to harass White House officials if they saw them in public. But like other high-profile “resistance” leaders, she has evolved past mere opposition to Trump and is now aligning herself with whoever is fighting him at the moment -- including hostile foreign nations.
Because the “resistance” is a healthy and normal political movement, right?
Maxine is a prime example of why we need a mandatory IQ or a "Common Sense" test that people must pass before they can vote! It is apparent that the voters who have continually elected her are either stupid or being paid off! My guess is that they are being paid off somehow, probably with Government funds. The real threat to "fair" elections in this country is not from the Russians, but from scam artist politicians such as her and from the huge internet companies such as Google and Facebook!
