I've made it from 4:50 to about 14:30. This part is Trump at his best, his most Trumpian. He lists a string of accomplishments that makes the liar of my own memory.
2) It sounds exactly like an acceptance speech which would have ended up with the best is yet to come. Emotional idiot that I am, I'm riddled with pride and heartbreak listening to this list. I'm proud of him, and of us, and mind is dazed and confused. Too much to handle.
3) Had I been asked I would have fought the courtesies at the beginning and had him dive into this section to begin. At this point, no introductions were required. And courtesy? This is not a courteous moment in my book. Oh well. I'll go finish up now and come back.
4) I LOVE that he's attacking political censorship. The unity drive is a bit forced, but the attack against 1st Amendment failure is welcome and needful. It's the unity part that I just can't cut with. I'll come back to that. 1A work is very refreshing though.
5) The 1A section brings us up to about 16:35 or so. We're not a timid nation that needs protection from ideas. It's not who we are. And here's the best thing I've heard so far. I'll shout it in caps: IT'S NOT WHO WE WILL EVER BE.
There's my guy. Love this man.
6) Before I go back for the last couple of minutes, the point of a promise is gigantic. Do the text of these speeches get published? That roughly 10 minute list of achievements was spectacular. And that it led to this awesome riff on 1A ending with a clear prophecy...amazing.
7) He's clearly telling us that the ONLY way he could be ousted was with a 1A assault such as has never happened before. That matters. He's clearly stating his enemy. He is now going to go after Big Tech as a personal mission, a vendetta. I love that. I'll come back to this, too.
8) At about 18:45 - I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning.
I always take this man literally. That too I take as a promise. A promise of continuing, unflagging leadership. He lives up that and he'll always have me, no matter how pissed off I get.
9) The close. If Americans hold love of country in our hearts, all will be well, and the best is yet to come.
I'll take a moment on that, and be right back...
10) I'm back. Machiavelli teaches us to either kiss or kill. Trump kissed Pence at the beginning of the speech. It doesn't mean he won't kill him later. Thing is, it also doesn't mean he'll ever kill him. I of course mean politically, not literally.
11) My problem is that I suffer a political bloodlust now that cannot be sated or quenched. I also have the problem that I did not hear the key words, "I did my best." He lists out his best, all that he did big picture. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about vote fraud.
12) That is the elephant in the room. Not the GOP elephant, the big secret we all know but no one will speak about. Oh wait, the GOP elephant in the room is the jokers to the right. Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer - who will now be the majority leader in the Senate - all clowns.
13) Who remembers Gerry Rafferty and his unbelievably great song, Baker Street? Bear with me. This counts. Be sure to really listen to the voice of this extraordinary artist. I'll explain more below...
14) So who is the singer on Stuck In The Middle With You? You must already know. Same guy. But if you only look at the face, it will be almost impossible to tell. You have to listen to the singing voice!
15) Wild, wasn't it? I almost have to close my eyes and ONLY hear that it's the same artist. Now here's my point. He's Trump. Obviously not literally. Rafferty would have hated Trump. He was an absolute socialist, Scottish, and most of those guys HATE Trump. Yet, those words...
16) Think about it:
Clowns to the left of me!
Jokers to the right!
Here I am stuck in the middle with you.
That's Trump. And who's "you," that he's stuck in the middle with? Us. The MAGA Movement. The Forgotten Americans. We're stuck in the middle with him, too.
17) Let's put it together now. If the 1st Amendment were still adhered to in this nation Trump's reelection could never have been forestalled. Trump has told us. His guidance could not be clearer. This is the battle of our day. Free speech is everything. The vote is our voice.
18) He has stated again and again, Section 230 MUST be repealed. That is our fight. We've GOT to make a stand on that point. Every Republican candidate must be GRILLED on his or her stance on Section 230. Now that's guidance!
19) Big Tech is the ultimate enemy. That, THAT, Trump tells me clearly, is where I must target my bloodlust. Well, wait a minute. Trump has spoken in almost every rally ever, that the Media were the greatest liars and the worst enemy America has. The greatest enemy.
20) Mind manipulators. Fake news. Suppressors of the American voice. Tell the lies. Debunk the truth.
Big Tech + MSM = The True Traitors
They're the ones who betrayed America and stole this election. Bloodlust redirected. Got it.
But...
21) I still did NOT hear: I did my best to cure the stolen vote.
I didn't hear it. No, I won't sue for malpractice, tempted to do so as I am. But, I'm not quite so easily redirected. Trump told me the election was stolen. So...?
22) Right back to Pence I go. January 6 was a day of infamy. Worse than any other day in American history. Pence blessed a fraudulent body of electors. Chicanery and procedure were used to whitewash the steal.
Pence gave it his imprimatur.
I will not close my eyes. I see.
23) I suck at predicting the future. Perhaps Trump's plans - The Plan? - has all this covered. Maybe. If so, happy days. I don't see it. I see a false President signing Executive Orders. I don't know I can bear to go look at the orders signed this day. Can you?
24) Bottomline? I want Pence to be held to account. I do NOT want him thanked. And unless Trump shows me Pence's political head on a platter, I will never forget, and may never forgive. I'm ornery that way. But clearly Trump, himself, still has time. Damnit.
25) Damnit? Yeah, I long for clarity. I am exhausted beyond measure with codes and ciphers and the burden of decipering. I know I'm good at it. But the burden comes with a heavy price.
And then there's Pence.
26) On a programming note, the incredible and earth shattering beauty @KateScopelliti steps in. She has forbidden me from posting every day. And I surrender. I can't keep up this pace. And I thank her for the guidance.
27) What's more, she commands me, get the message said in 25, or at most 30 Tweets. She loses patience with me after that. And I have accepted her wise and wonderful guidance.
I'll come back to Pence, and all the other Deep Staters Trump hired another day.
28) What about our new "President" Joe, Jittery Joe? I won't be following him. I'm not going to read his EOs. I'm not going to track his every virtual act or analyzing his traitorous tampering with America. To the degree I'm able, I will ignore Jittery Joe. Not interested.
29) What will I do? Well it won't be everyday, and it won't exceed Kate's limit of 30, hoping as often as I'm able to limit myself to 25. I will happily tell you what my leaning is. I lean toward history and theory. I bought a book on Progressivism tonight and I'm already happy.
30 1A. Big Tech. The Media. And The Cabal's great guiding light, Progressivism. That's what I'm looking at for the moment.
I will let you know where I'm heading, as I learn more.
And I've got my eye on Pence.

Rage comes and goes in waves. It often enters into my dreams, triggering my inner warrior. I've had enough hours, and wave cycles, to go back in and finish watching Trump's transition of power to Biden speech.
2) Just a couple of thoughts to share first. For one thing, I now realize Trump thanks Pence. So, I'm finally ready for anything else that follows. For another, I never dreamed Trump had a good loser aspect to his character. Evidently he's a good loser.
3) Diving back in, the shield I require is that not only did I never get tired of winning, I have grown sick to my stomach of losing. House, Senate, White House, all lost. Hell, a landslide reelection with the largest vote in American history, that's lost too. Wow.
Here's the link to soon-to-be former President Trump's Farewell Speech. It's not easy watching, I can tell you that. But we boldly do what we must, right?
2) I am just past 1 1/2 minutes in, and found my planned method to have failed. My plan was to watch the whole thing, and then commence responding after. This won't work. Why? Just over 90 seconds was enough for me to see a politician speaking. First time I ever thought that.
3) There are already many reasons. But one will suffice. He thanks Mike Pence. That, my friends, is something I'll never be able to unsee. I know, perhaps it's merely political theater and who knows where all that stuff goes? But it is unacceptable to me. Viciously so.
Just a couple of instant #MAGAanalysis points in immediate response. Full analysis tomorrow morning.
First, here is obviously the entire speech.

2) Second, you've likely already seen snippets. I have not nor have I watched this one either. I will soon, but there will be more than ample time to take it all in slowly, cautiously, and to extract all meaning. To watch, do as I shall. Watch the whole thing, repeatedly at need.
3) It may be that the fat lady has indeed sung. If so, I will be profoundly disappointed, but not shocked. If you've followed my analyses, you know I've attempted to prepare for all this, and hope that my work may have been of benefit to you, my real objective.
It is, I believe, my patriotic duty to turn away from things of politics for the coming hours. I have my daily work and it commences today at 10:00. I never know when a coaching session may be rescheduled, of course...
2) It is highly likely that events of significance may occur while I ply my daily trade. It has been, so far, I feel, a small failure of MAGA to not explicitly state, after America First, Family First and even, Me First. Americans sustain themselves and their families, first.
3) As I serve each client who entrusts me with dollars for hire and his or her time and openness of mind and heart to share his or her story and consider my counsel in response, my focus must be pure and unhindered, undistracted. This is, to be sure, no easy thing today.
Wherein I request your additional help in getting yesterday's PM Edition out to the broadest readership possible, as well as statements of agreement collected here at Twitter.
2) Good morning, friends. The past few days have been, I don't mind sharing, some of the hardest days in my short years as a political analyst since 2016. I had a thread broken by exhaustion. And, yesterday's primary thread was broken again by disjoint references. I do apologize.
3) I cannot speak for all those many other analysts who have been on the mission for far longer than I. I can tell you that the form of analysis I attempt requires me to continuously stretch beyond my previous abilities, and at times really does break me, temporarily.

1) Mr. President, as a complete outsider - one NOT read in - looking in from the outside, I must state that it appears to me you have the means by which to cure the vote in hand. I know you're aware of General McInerney's guidance and, it looks to me as if you're considering it.
2) What we in the general public can observe is troop deployments of an unprecedented nature. We cannot know who is behind these deployments or what they portend. One possible interpretation is that you have emplaced the assets you require in order to cure the election.
