The United States of America is a shining city on a hill. It embodies the hopes and dreams of mankind. It is not perfect, and no American is perfect. But we try to do our best to honor ourselves, each other, and our fellow citizens of the world.
Our elections are over. We have a new President and First Lady, Donald and Melania Trump. We wish them well, because our fates and theirs are linked inextricably. Our destinies are shared. The future of our great and noble republic is entrusted to them.
May they serve wisely and prudently, and honor God.

I completely agree, but sadly, like the Old South, there are many who still will not accept Trump as their President at all. The losers are real sore losers and hold a grudge.
Bill O’Reilly said this evening that there currently is some “Reverse McCarthyism” going on in Hollywood: If you perform for Donald Trump at his Inaugural Celebration (Ball) then your career in Hollywood is likely to be cut short.
Naturally, nobody wants to be blackballed from their line of work and the mere threat of it means few entertainers will risk crossing over the “picket line” to perform in Washington this year. This is in contrast to the parties when George W. Bush was elected in 2000. Pretty sad. It’s going to be a real long 4 years if the country does not “get over it” soon and move-on. No good will come of it, I predict.

Thank you, Craig, for your comments; and Happy New Year to you and your family. 🙂
I grew up in Hollywood—aka Los Angeles—around movie stars and their families. I have friends today who are at the very top of that business.
Donald Trump won the “Flyover States,” or the rest of America. Your analogy to the Old South is an excellent one.
After our Civil War, many in the South had “chips on their shoulders” for generations. The best way to understand them is as a defeated nation living among their conquerors. In a very real sense, this has been true of the DDR, or East Germany, after a united Germany was formed.
Fortunately, Hollywood is not America. Its values are distorted. Indeed, my parents told me not to get involved with those in the movie business. I have an old friend who is a multi-billion and a true Hollywood mogul; and this person told me essentially the same thing (i.e., the people are “not nice”).
I have believed for quite a while now that the 4-8 years of the Trump presidency will be “under siege,” and that Donald Trump and Kellyanne Conway (among others) understand this fully. It will be like the Nixon years or worse. The Left will do everything possible to discredit and, yes, bring down the Trump presidency.
They and their Leftist media cohorts will gin up scandal after scandal, often out of thin air; and the elections of 2020 have begun already. Fortunately, it appears that the Democrats’ titular heads are Elizabeth Warren and Nancy Pelosi, who are going nowhere fast.
Next, the question becomes what if any role Barack Obama will play in this process. We know the role that he has been playing already, since the elections. Whether he continues to pursue this destructive path is anyone’s guess.
See https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/is-barack-obama-a-racist/#comment-9459 (“Obama Is Trying To Delegitimize Trump”)
Perhaps his epitaph and legacy were succinctly stated best:
See id.; see also http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article124842824.html (“The U.S. dropped more than 25,000 bombs, mostly in Syria and Iraq, last year”—”That figure . . . is likely lower than the actual number dropped because one airstrike can involved multiple bombs”)
Also, in a very real sense, Donald Trump is an Independent. He fought the Neanderthals in the GOP to get that party’s nomination; and he fought the evil Democrats to become our 45th President. When I left the U.S. Senate, I became an Independent, and have been one ever since.
Gallup polling during the last four years or so has indicated that approximately 42 percent of Americans identify as Independents. Having turned my back on both parties, as so many other Americans have. I welcome and salute our Independent president, and wish him well and Godspeed.
See https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/the-rise-of-independents/#comment-3244 (“Record-High 42 Percent Of Americans Identify As Independents”)
Lastly, three fundamental differences between Donald Trump and Barack Obama are that (1) Obama did not grow up on the American mainland, but in Hawaii and Indonesia, and his core beliefs are very different than those of most Americans; (2) he grew up with definite black racist views and core beliefs, which are set forth in his book “Dreams from My Father”; and (3) Trump does not drink or smoke, while Obama was a druggie by his own admissions.
See https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/is-barack-obama-a-racist/ (“Junkie. Pothead. That’s where I’d been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man”)

Chuck Schumer is a smart guy, but a devout Democratic flamethrower, much like Nancy Pelosi.
I watched him carefully when he was on the House Banking Committee, and I was a banking lobbyist after leaving the Senate. While I often disagreed with him, I respected his intelligence, tenacity and humor. I am sure our President-elect sized him up ages ago, and knows how to deal with him, or not as the case may be.
The election is over, finished and done with. Yet, many Democrats seem bent on conducting a rear-guard action to take down the Trump presidency. In a real sense, they are like the Japanese soldiers after World War II ended.
The fact is that 57 percent of Democrats want Donald Trump to succeed, according to recent polling by the Rasmussen Reports.

Thank you, Susan, for your comments.
First, many Americans do not remember that Fiat produced “lousy” cars and was forced to leave the U.S. market completely years ago. It only reentered our market when it bought Chrysler, with taxpayers’ monies.
GM was bailed out by U.S. taxpayers too, but Ford was not. Now Ford is America’s best selling brand.
Second, there have been reports that like the past, Fiat [Chrysler] is producing defective and unsafe vehicles.
Third, “signature sweater” or not, Marchionne should be coming to the U.S. on bended knee and “groveling,” after his company literally avoided the abyss as a result of the U.S. bailout.
Fourth, the disrespect shown to our president, our country and to the American people today is inexcusable.
As one commenter has put it:
See http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/01/24/ford-ceo-mark-fields-excited-donald-trump-renaissance-american-manufacturing/#comment-3118191356
That speaks volumes.
Next, unlike what Bill Ford and Alan Mulally did at Ford, Marchionne merely bandaged the wounds at both Fiat and Chrysler.
Perhaps all Marchionne accomplished was to postpone the inevitable, and put off the day of reckoning.
Lastly, you said that perhaps Marchionne’s “signature sweater” is similar to “Santa’s hat.” Or rather the Devil’s Pitchfork.

China needs the United States desperately, if its economy is not to collapse.
Reports indicate that the Syrian airbase was “almost completely destroyed” after the U.S. strike. This sends a message loud and clear to Russia’s killer Putin too.
Putin and Russia are “paper tigers,” both militarily and economically. Russia’s economy would collapse if the U.S. denies it access to the SWIFT banking system. Its naval “fleet” and that of China are essentially nonexistent.
If Putin does not accede to Trump’s wishes, it may be time for regime changes in both Russia and Syria.

Also, I do not share Buchanan’s pessimism for our great country. The same utterances were made during the presidency of Jimmy Carter, yet Ronald Reagan snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. He and George H.W. Bush drove the final nails into the USSR’s coffin, and it is gone forever.
Next, I believe all of the newspapers that Buchanan reads daily are irrelevant. They are fodder for the so-called “elites” and nothing more. The American people do not read or care about any of them; and newspapers are dinosaurs anyway.

The Buchanan article must be juxtaposed against what just happened—as described succinctly in a mailing by Ken Cuccinelli II of the Senate Conservatives Action:

Trump-Hatred Warps America’s Lawless Judiciary

Special Prosecutor For Trump/Russia Investigation Is A Disaster [UPDATED]
In an article with the title above, political pundit and Trump supporter Dick Morris has written:

The one thing that I learned by working in the U.S. Senate is that everyone is out to screw everyone else. Destroying the lives and reputations of others is “blood sport” on Capitol Hill. Since I left there, it has only gotten far worse. Any notions of “bipartisanship,” comity and respect went out the window years ago.
The whole atmosphere is poisonous and noxious; and having watched congressmen and senators bedding young female staffers, no older than about 28, I vowed that my kids would never work there. Only one word truly fit: S-I-C-K.
See, e.g., https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/09/24/washington-is-sick-and-the-american-people-know-it/ (“Washington Is Sick And The American People Know It“)
Fast forward to today, and I lived through Watergate too. It was breaking when I was still in the Senate; and I predicted Richard Nixon’s demise as I was leaving the Hill.
Donald Trump is essentially an Independent, and perhaps the first truly independent president in our history. This has its virtues and its vices. He is beholden to neither “establishment” political party, which is why lots of American love him and elected him.
However, he has made plenty of enemies in reaching our nation’s highest office, who want to see his presidency destroyed and Trump run out of Washington in utter disgrace. More than just reversing last year’s election results, they want to demonstrate to the nation and to the world who is really in charge of the United States.
Leave aside the fact that Hillary Clinton is a criminal who should be in prison, Trump’s enemies want to destroy him. They must be beaten, and they must be disgraced. Too much is at stake to do otherwise. North Korea and other enemies want to destroy us; and we are “inches” away from that happening.
See https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/01/19/emp-attack-only-30-million-americans-survive/#comment-10008 (“North Korea Prepares EMP Catastrophe For America“); see also https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/01/19/emp-attack-only-30-million-americans-survive/#comment-4413 (“North Korea Capable Of EMP Attack On USA“) and http://freebeacon.com/issues/fbi-warns-cyber-threat-electric-grid/ (“FBI Warns of Cyber Threat to Electric Grid”—”[The Department of Homeland Security (DHS}] and the FBI began a nationwide program warning of the dangers faced by U.S. utilities from damaging cyber attacks like the recent hacking against Ukraine’s power grid. The nationwide campaign by DHS and the FBI began March 31[, 2016] and includes 12 briefings and online webinars for electrical power infrastructure companies and others involved in security, with sessions in eight U.S. cities, including a session next week in Washington”)
This is what is at stake, and it is frightening. The “gotcha” politics of Capitol Hill and Washington are insane when viewed in the context of the dangers facing our country and every American. With the prospect of only 30 million of us surviving a nation-ending EMP Attack, a nuclear war seems to pale by comparison, and remarkably so.
. . .
Lastly, and a footnote to all of this, the first thing I did on Capitol Hill was to represent the Senate on a Joint Senate-House commission, the Presidential Commission on Mortgage Interest Rates. We had subpoena powers; and we spent months trying to reach a consensus before our final report and recommendations were made.
Young members of Robert Mueller’s staff will be cutting their teeth and building reputations and careers, just like Hillary Clinton and others have done before them. Dick Morris is correct: we can only hope and pray, for our great nation and—this time—its survival.

The American Left Needs To Understand: Democracy Is Not Your Plaything [UPDATED]
Peggy Noonan has written in the Wall Street Journal:
See https://www.wsj.com/articles/democracy-is-not-your-plaything-1495149082 (“Democracy Is Not Your Plaything“) (emphasis added)
I have seldom if ever agreed with Noonan, certainly in recent years. At best, she is one of the Neanderthals in the GOP—like Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, George Will and Bill Kristol—who symbolize why lots of us left the party years ago and have never looked back. They did not elect President Trump. His dedicated supporters did.
Many Americans felt and still feel just as passionately about Barack Obama as others do about President Trump today, but they did not try to destroy the Obama presidency or advocate his assassination as many in the destroy-Trump movement have and continue to do.
They believed and continue to believe, with good reason, that Obama was and is a black racist and un-American. If anyone has any doubts whatsoever that he is a racist and a divider, please read his book Dreams from My Father, which sets forth his core beliefs that undergirded his eight years in the presidency.
See https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/is-barack-obama-a-racist/ (“Is Barack Obama A Racist?“)
The Democrats or so-called “progressives” or far-Left and their captive Mainstream Media (or “MSN”), along with despicable elements of Neanderthals in the GOP, are literally trying to bring about a coup before the Trump presidency gets under way in earnest. They are like ugly vultures circling their prey.
I was working in the U.S. Senate when Watergate began; and as I left there, I predicted that the Nixon presidency would end. I hailed from California; and my parents were dyed-in-the-wool conservative Republicans. My mother even had a photo of “Dick and Pat” in our living room; and I had three chances to vote for him and never did.
I am not a “fan” of the totally Narcissistic Noonan who considers herself one of Washington’s “elites,” and seldom read her, but she asks the right question:
Put succinctly, it would shatter our democracy. This is not the Watergate era that I lived through as I was leaving the U.S. Senate. “Gotcha politics” prevailed in Washington then, and the “feeding frenzy” has begun again.
The despicable Left and its alter ego in the so-called MSM are literally salivating—and so are our enemies around the world. The “blood sport” has begun again; and for lots of us who worked on Capitol Hill, this is merely the latest chapter and déjà vu.
Noonan’s mention of Lincoln’s travails is apt. History may be repeating itself.
See https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2017/05/16/americas-newest-civil-war-2017-and-beyond/ (“America’s Newest Civil War: 2017 And Beyond“)
Noonan’s statement that this may be “the most bizarre presidency in U.S. history” speaks volumes about her, not the Trump presidency. She adds: “[T]here’s an emerging sense of tragedy, isn’t there?” The tragedy is that anyone takes her seriously, or anyone else in the MSM or the thoroughly-despicable Left.
Next, she writes:
The “circus” never left Washington, D.C. It is a circus town, which is why it is poison and noxious to so many Americans in the “Flyover States” and elsewhere.
See, e.g., https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/09/24/washington-is-sick-and-the-american-people-know-it/ (“Washington Is Sick And The American People Know It“)
Like so many “Never Trump” speakers and writers, who never wanted Donald Trump to become our president and want to destroy his presidency now, Noonan has no credibility with those of us who believe in this president, his lofty goals for our great nation and its people, and his place in history.

Obviously, Donald Trump, Jr. and Ann Coulter are correct. Not since the last Civil War—which produced Abraham Lincoln’s assassination—have Americans experienced such viciousness, sedition and treason . . . which has been fanned by the black racist Barack Obama.

The latest is a move by special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election, Robert Mueller, to widen the probe to include an examination of whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice.
See https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/special-counsel-is-investigating-trump-for-possible-obstruction-of-justice/2017/06/14/9ce02506-5131-11e7-b064-828ba60fbb98_story.html (“Special counsel is investigating Trump for possible obstruction of justice, officials say”—”Trump had received private assurances from then-FBI Director James B.

For those of us who lived through Watergate, as I did when I was leaving the U.S. Senate, such investigations take on an insidious and odious life of their own. The Department of Justice, from which Mueller and Comey hail—along with Rod Rosenstein who appointed Mueller—is totally corrupt. Mueller, Rosenstein and others should be fired immediately; and the Mueller witch hunt should be shut down completely.
See, e.g., https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2017/05/16/americas-newest-civil-war-2017-and-beyond/#comment-10051 (“Another Despicable At The Department Of Injustice“) and http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/gingrich-republicans-emulate-sessions/2017/06/14/id/795954/ (“[Newt] Gingrich: Republicans Would Do Well to Emulate Sessions”—”Republicans need to realize that ‘this is a real war,’ the former speaker said, as ‘the left wants to destroy them, and being passive and being slow doesn’t count'”—”‘If we elect a Republican to follow Trump, the left is going to keep going crazy'”) and http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Dershowitz-Special-Counsel/2017/06/15/id/796267/ (Renowned civil-rights lawyer and a long-time Harvard Law professor, Alan Dershowitz: “The fact that Mueller is opening an investigation on obstruction doesn’t answer the two basic questions.

I think the answer to both of these questions is still going to be no and no. . . . I think Trump benefits from the fact that [Mueller is] hiring experts on a president’s power, because I think they’ll tell him that the president’s power [is legitimate] ending the investigation”)
The forces within the United States that are trying to destroy the democratically-elected Trump presidency are every bit as evil as external enemies such as North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and ISIS. They must be destroyed, summarily.

Lots of us voted for Bush, and are ashamed now that we did so. He and the neocons and their state sponsor were responsible for the Iraq War in which thousands of Americans were killed or maimed, and trillions of dollars were wasted, for nothing.
To defame President Trump diminishes their tawdry statures and legacies even more, not his. They are part and parcel of the “swamp” that must be drained.
It is sickening to watch these two abject failures, Clinton and Bush, berating their successor. Needless to say, our enemies both domestically and abroad (e.g., North Korea, Russia, China) are salivating.

Americans Do Not Covet The Love Of Europeans
Someone who is described as the UK Economist‘s “Washington bureau chief” has written the following about President Trump and the Iran nuclear deal:
See https://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2018/01/waive-goodbye (“Donald Trump gives the Iran nuclear deal a ‘last chance’“) (emphasis added)
It is clear that the Economist‘s Washington bureau chief should be fired immediately.
To describe President Trump’s policies as “disastrous,” and our president as “this most alarming of American leaders,” demonstrates biases beyond all reason. No one should ever take this person’s writings seriously again, nor should any readers respect a publication that retains the services of such a misfit.
Barack Obama is the worst president in America’s history, and a pure racist. President Trump is trying to remedy the monumental and treasonous policies that Obama put into place. Indeed, it is possible that Obama will go to prison, along with Hillary and Bill Clinton and their cronies.

Europe is disintegrating, as we write or read these words. If its countries want to take in immigrants from all over the world, without any restrictions, be Americans’ guests. You can have them . . . for soon, they will be deciding European policies; and a once-vibrant European “civilization” will no longer exist.
And no, Americans do not covet the love of Europeans. Indeed, without us, most Europeans would be speaking German today, instead of merely having Germany rule them via the EU.

Build The Wall, Mr. President!
Political pitbull and lawyer Ann Coulter has written for Townhall.com:
See https://townhall.com/columnists/anncoulter/2018/12/19/gutless-president-in-wallless-country-n2537809 (“Gutless President in Wall-less Country“)
Ann Coulter has gotten more obnoxious over the years, and is seldom invited on Fox shows anymore; and when she is, her views are truncated, if not censored. Also, her columns have often taken on the feeling of rambling streams of consciousness.
However, this column is different. It is tight and succinct, and written like a legal brief or opinion. She has marshaled her facts, and presented them in an orderly fashion. This causes the most ardent Trump loyalists to stop and scratch their heads, and say or think: maybe she’s right.
Divert money from every source, including our aid to “sacred cows” like Israel, and just build the wall, Mr. President. Enough is enough. Stop the Kate Steinle-killers once and for all; and show the eco-Nazis and other Leftist true-believers that they don’t matter or count at all. Their feelings are worthless.
And stick it to the illegal immigrants who have invaded our great nation. Let them eat crumbs, or nothing at all. They should “rebuild” the countries that they left, not ours. They are not welcome here, period.

This is a load of rubbish, and nothing more than Washington “double-speak.”
Again, Ann Coulter spoke for us. Sadly—and perhaps tragically—our President didn’t.
Also, lots of us remember his campaign promises that Mexico would pay for the wall. If that was true now, our President would not be having to ask Congress for a penny; and all of this (e.g., the government shutdown) would not have happened.
Many of the President’s most ardent supporters feel betrayed. Hopefully the ship can be righted.

Thank you, Phyllis, for your comments.
The national debate with respect to the “wall” is not over yet; and what has just happened may not be the end result.
Also, I realize that there are strong opinions about our President, on both ends of the political spectrum (and in between), just as there were and are about Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton . . . and the list goes on and on.
We have a very divided and polarized country, which is unfortunate. Hopefully another national tragedy such as 9/11 is not necessary to bring us back together as Americans.

Thank you, Rick, as always for your comments.
First, I continue to support the President, even though I believe there were other options that he might have pursued at this juncture. It seems that he wanted to “ease the bleeding,” and take the government shutdown “off the table,” which is understandable.
Second, we have enough economic leverage with Mexico today to demand that it pays for the wall. We could literally shut off imports and/or exports from and to that country, or simply nullify the new trade agreement with Mexico until it ponies up the cost of the entire wall.
Mexico has enormous problems; and the last thing that it needs is a trade war with the United States.
Third, the President can invoke emergency powers, and bypass Congress, and build the wall anyway. Might it be challenged in courts? Possibly, but soon Ruth Bader Ginsburg will leave the Supreme Court; and the President will have the chance to make his third appointment to that court.
My guess is that the Court will approve his exercise of emergency powers, now or in the future.
Fourth, you might wish to read (or reread) the article by Ann Coulter, which is cited above. I do not always agree with her, but I agree with this article.

Fifth, it would be wise to always remember, and never forget that George H.W. Bush’s tax pledge—”Read my lips: no new taxes”—came back to haunt him. The same might be true of President Trump’s pledge to build the border wall, and have Mexico pay for it. I hope this is not the case though.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read_my_lips:_no_new_taxes (“Read my lips: no new taxes”)
