1) HI all. Report from our Reagan Library/Reagan Ranch tour:

2) I started on Sat w/ a talk for @yaf #YAF (Young America's Foundation to 150 high schoolers about "American Exceptionalism"

3) I was shocked & humbled by the roaring, raucus response I got from these young patriots
4) The questions from these kids were deep & thoroughly liberty oriented.

5) We took pics & signed books for a half hour!

ATTENDEES: if you want me to post our pic, get your parents' permission & send it to me at Larry@wildworldofhistory.com & I will.
6) Yesterday we toured the Reagan Library. I had been disappointed in the changes they made last time we were here, but they made mo better changes.

Still not quite as good as in 2019, but the GE exhibit brought me to tears. A capsule of his speaking prowess.
7) The final short film, and the videos of his funeral procession were tear jerkers.

8) I did not take the separate Ho l ocaust tour.

9) The Library to some degree has been taken over by RINOs.

10) Mark Levin was the last speaker. Brett Baier next.
11) THey don't feature my book, the latest and the only one with substantial work from the Reagan Papers at the Library.

12) Highly recommended. LBJ Library #2.

13) Tomorrow we go to San Clemente & Nixon Library.
14) Important to know RR was precisely the man for his time. His self-deprecating humor & geniality were perfect at a time when DemoKKKrats like Tip O'Reilly would have a beer w RR and WOULD KEEP HIS WORD ON ANY DEALS STRUCK.
15) Just not the case today. The evil that has overtaken the DemoKKKrats can no longer be "dealt with" of brushed aside with ridicule, as Reagan did to both Carter & Mondale.

16) Unfortunately, it means we need a street fighter like President Trump.
17) Don't lament this.

18) Churchill never generated love, and ONLY brought unity at the deepest darkest hour.

19) In contrast, General Grant, who knew how to crush his enemies on the battlefield, never elicited the public's love as did Lincoln.
19) This is Trump's time not Reagan's. The country as is is far closer to 1859 than 1979.

No one will be able to unite many on the left. Treat them like the defeated Germans. Crush them that they see the error of their ways.

29) Then it will be time for a Reagan.

1) I DO NOT think it will come to this, but it is worth thinking about and pretty funny in a way:

If President Trump wins the primary, wins the general, but then is sentenced to prison, what?

Say the Supes do NOT step in.
2) By law, no court can strip him of his Secret Service protection. My guess is he would go to a Fed facility that had a very special entire wing. After all, he would be meeting his new cabinet, etc, getting briefings.

3) Remember, if the SUPES don't step in, it would be . . .
3) contd . . . January before he could pardon himself.

4) He has made some comments to the effect that if he is sentenced he would not quit, but would run from jail.

5) Personally, I don't think even a Roberts court would risk this---certainly not for Trump's sake, but . . .

1) Listening to @barnes_law last night, he seemed far less confident the Supes or any court would step in and stop what this evil Chutkin is doing. So far they are getting away with everything unconstitutional.
@barnes_law 2) He views RFK as a "fire insurance" policy--saying they hate and fear him more than even Trump.

3) I disagree. First, no matter how horrible he is---or, presumably, might be---for the Deep State, he's still a DemoKKKrat so that already makes him "better than Trump."
@barnes_law 4) Second, I think Barnes gets overly romantic and unrealistic about what JFK did, which was NOTHING when it came to reining in the CIA or "pulling out" of Vietnam.

5) When JFK came into office Ike had a mere 600 American advisors in Vietnam. When JFK was assassinated . . .

1) I'm constantly reminded, as a historian, of how the bad guys are not superpowered, and how as often as not they step in it.

2) I'll get to Jordan in a second.

3) As I show in "A Patriot's History of Globalism: Its Rise & Decline" (Mar. 2024) at the end of WW II . . . Image
3) contd . . . we were "THIS CLOSE" to allowing an international body (i.e., globalist clustermonkeys) control all of our atomic weapons. Simply put, you wouldn't be here now if that had happened.

4) But Joe Stalin, who never was all that bright, stepped in it.
5) Whether it was allowing his allies to massacre 20,000 in Bulgaria or in arresting non-communists in Poland, Stalin almost overnight turned Harry Truman from an accomodationist to a hard liner.

1) Earlier The Duran reported that a leading explanation of the Hamas attacks was that a deal was nearing completion, sort of a reverse "Abraham Accords" (the "Abel Accords?") in which Saudi Arabia would have recognized Israel, US would give "peaceful" nuke tech to SA.
2) The attacks by Iranian-backed Hamas were to squelch that.

3) If true, mission accomplished.

1) Iranians: "We need $1000 for weapons. But we only have $1000 in our account for food.

2) Demented Joe the Terror Helper: "Here, I'll give you $1000, but you have to use it for food only."

3) Iranians: "Great. Then we'll use OUR $1000 for weapons, your $1000 for food."
4) Demented Joe's apologists. "No, it doesn't work that way. We put it in a special account marked 'food' in the Qatari Bank for International Terror."

5) Iran: "No problem. In fact, even better. We can use that as collateral to get a $10,000 loan from Dubai."
6) Demented Joe's apologists: "You can't do that. We haven't released it."

7) Iran: "Sorry, haven't you seen how Hollywood does business? A theater chain gives you a promise they will distribute at some future point. You take that promise and get a loan."

1) A kind of different take, and please don't be offended if this clashes with your theology. Not gonna fight over God here. Just observations.

2) When Jesus left the disciples after Pentecost, He left them with a goal/mission---spread the Gospel, heal the sick, cast out demons.
3) What He did NOT do was to hand them a working blueprint of church organization. He didn't arguably even name a leader (Catholics insist it was Peter, but Jesus never told the rest, "Now listen to Peter.") So we can agree to disagree.

4) He did not tell them where to worship.
5) He didn't tell them how to organize.

6) He didn't tell them WHAT DAY to worship

7) He left the organization of the church up to His followers, knowing if they were correctly focused on the mission, the rest would sort itself out.
