Andrea Widburg - American Thinker
"Democrats have told us what they’re going to do: Pack the court, add two new states, open the borders completely, bow down to the Muslim world, escalate the lawfare they used to destroy their political opponents, double down on “transing our children,” make abortion unlimited, destroy Israel, etc."
"A friend called me today to say she was unhappy about the picture Trump posted and then deleted, in which he was shown ministering to a sick person. Although the image lacks the flowing hair and beard attributed to Christ in European and American religious iconography, it definitely has a Christ-like vibe. It was a tone-deaf thing for Trump to have done."Nevertheless, I hope that people, while miffed in the short term, don’t sit out the 2026 and 2028 elections to “punish Trump.” If they’re patriotic Americans, the punishment that they’ll be meting out will be to this country, not to Trump.
"In legal terms, Trump is sui generis, that is, utterly unique. He is a man of extraordinary abilities, and his core values are excellent. He’s also larger than life, blustering, self-aggrandizing, vindictive, and a counterpuncher who doesn’t always stop to think about whether it’s wiser at any given moment to pull his punches. I’m not blind to Trump’s failings, but when I look at his virtues, I still think he’s the best thing to happen to America since George Washington.
"Big Picture things:
"Trump is a politician who keeps his promises. That’s because he’s not really a politician; he’s a businessman. And in business, especially the rough and tumble world of commercial real estate, your word had better be your bond." . . .
To see the atrocities committed on peaceful Israeli villages that October 7th: families murdered, babies cooked alive in Israeli homes, men, women and children taken away to terror in Hamas tunnels, being starved and raped, toddlers killed by bare hands of men from Gaza while "gaslit" products of Western educator's cheer those same executioners.
Gaslight “Gaslighting” means “to psychologically manipulate someone over a period of time.” It can cause a person to second-guess their thoughts, memories, and even perception of reality. Say a friend promises to talk about an argument later, but when the time comes, they deny that the conversation or argument ever happened. This is an example of gaslighting; it can make you question your own memory of the event, which can be deeply upsetting if it happens repeatedly.
"In modern slang, people incorrectly apply this term to everyday disagreements, as in, “He said he didn’t like the movie. He’s gaslighting me!” True gaslighting distorts reality; it isn’t about differing opinions. The misuse of this term — and other therapy speak — can make it hard to determine whether the speaker is referring to the clinical or casual definition." . .
