    • Thank you for posting the promises kept by Trump. 

    It's easy to focus on the negatives, since we often really want Barabbas instead of Christ - it's simply more fun or entertaining to see the bad instead of the good.

    Read the majority opinion before you mouth off about it. The victory was about as limited in scope as it could possibly have been in that it merely validated the insertion of an executive-order exception into the still-standing anti-Catholic [Un]Affordable Care Act (i.e., ObamaCare). Biden has already declared that he will annul the exception as soon as he is inaugurated. In fact, Trump himself could annul it with the stroke of a pen if Kushner were to tell him in the weeks between now and the election that more votes would be had by getting rid of it than by keeping it.

    Trump's Justice Department should have pressed from the outset for the negation of ObamaCare as unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds. That never happened. Nor indeed did Trump ever make a serious attempt to get the fully Republican Congress of his first two years to repeal ObamaCare. His opposition to it was confined to fundraising speeches and his endless, meaningless tweets.

    Support Trump if you want to. After all, little boys need to play games to develop their reflexes and whatever wits they have, and rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, the game being played here, at least has a certain amount of historical cachet. But stop acting as if Trump is some sort of enemy of the Establishment. If he had been such, he would have gotten precisely the same treatment that Ron Paul got—consignment to oblivion—in 2008 and 2012. The fact that Trump was allowed to talk openly about immigration, a topic that had been shut down by the narrative masters of the airwaves since the late sixties, should have set the warning bells ringing in every functioning brain in the country. That it didn't ought to be seen as an indication of how very few functioning brains there now are in the Imperial States of America.

    Trump's Pro-Life Accomplishments

    • Appendix 1, A Catholic Vote for Trump:
    Quote
    Partial List of Pro-Life Accomplishments in President Trump’s First Term

    (Priests for Life keeps updating this list of President Trump’s pro-life accomplishments at ProLifePresident.com)

    1.    Under the Trump administration, the unborn have the ultimate advocate. From appointing pro-life judges, to stopping the flow of taxpayer-funds to abortion providers, and defending the unborn abroad -- the case is clear for a second term for President Trump.
    2.    Top line: President Trump is the most pro-life President in history.
    President Trump became the first President in history to speak at the annual March for Life.
    Vice President Pence has a long history of being a voice for the voiceless in standing up for the most innocent among us.
    3.    Donald Trump and Mike Pence campaigned on the promise to defend life from its earliest stage and to defund Planned Parenthood. President Trump and Vice President Pence have kept that promise.
    4.    April 2017: In the first year of the Trump-Pence administration, President Trump signed a bill that allowed states to defund Planned Parenthood of Title X (family planning) funding, reversing an Obama attempt to force states to fund abortion providers.
    5.    January 2018: Reversed an Obama Administration policy that blocked states from deciding if Planned Parenthood should be stripped of Medicaid funding.
    6.    February 2019: The Protect Life Rule was finalized, cutting Planned Parenthood’s Federal funding by $60 million.
    7.    As a result of the President’s policies, Planned Parenthood announced it is withdrawing from the Title X program
    This clears the way for health care centers that respect the right to life to receive more federal funding
    8.    President Trump and Vice President Pence have spent nearly three years actively working to get life-protecting legislation passed.
    9.    The Trump-Pence administration reinstated the Mexico City Policy that ends Federal funding of overseas abortions.
    The Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance program was created to ensure that hard earned tax dollars are not funding foreign abortions across all global health spending – not just family planning dollars.
    This protects over $8.8 BILLION in overseas aid from being used for abortions.
    10.    President Trump has appointed Federal judges that uphold the pro-life view that all life is sacred from the moment of conception.
    This includes two pro-life Supreme Court Justices.
    11.    President Trump has written Congress on numerous occasions, encouraging and urging them to vote to protect innocent human life.
    No-Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2019.
    Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
    Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
    12.    The Trump-Pence administration has issued new guidance ensuring hospitals provide medical care to infants who survive abortions.
    13.    The current administration has proposed numerous resolutions to fight the Obama era pro-abortion policies.
    Require Obamacare insurers to issue separate invoices for abortion coverage.
    Require Obamacare insurers to provide clients an identical plan in the same geographic area that does not provide coverage of abortion.
    Reverse the Obama policy that made recipients of certain Federal funding provide abortions.
    14.    President Trump has taken the pro-life movement to the world stage: the administration opposes the efforts of the United Nations to make abortion an international human right.
    15.    The Trump-Pence administration has taken steps to protect pro-life organizations from having to provide abortion referrals or cover abortion in their health insurance plans.
    16.    The Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has dramatically shifted in placing value on the unborn.
    Funding for fetal tissue research – which uses aborted human body parts - has been cut.
    HHS’ newly created Conscience and Religious Freedom Division fights for doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals who do not wish to have any part in abortions.
    The Trump-Pence administration is protecting all Americans’ First Amendment rights.
    17.    President Trump and Vice President Pence’s stance on life stands in stark contrast with all of the Democrat candidates.
    Every single Democrat running for President wholeheartedly endorse abortion until birth and abortion without restriction.
    Democrat candidates’ polices would provide abortion procedures for free at the expense of the hardworking American tax dollars.
    18.    President Trump’s most pro-life quotes:
    “I will veto any legislation that weakens current pro-life Federal policies and laws, or that encourages the destruction of innocent human life at any stage.”
    “My administration has repeatedly demonstrated its respect for human life and conscience at all stages… Today, we recommit ourselves to protecting innocent life every day and at every stage.”

    • Add this to your "Trump is the good guy" list:


    Quote
    The link between autism and vaccination became a hot topic in this year’s presidential election. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton once tweeted ““The science is clear: The earth is round, the sky is blue, and #vaccineswork. Let’s protect all our kids. #GrandmothersKnowBest.” In contrast, President Donald Trump has long been outspoken about the likely connection between vaccines and autism. As early as 2007, Trump remarked, “When I was growing up, autism wasn’t really a factor. And now all of a sudden, it’s an epidemic. Everybody has their theory, and my theory is the shots. They’re getting these massive injections at one time. I think it’s the vaccinations.”
    You can be morally certain that the man who said this -- Trump -- will not be implementing mandatory vaccinations any time soon. If I can get 4 years (minimum) of no mandatory vaccinations by voting Trump, you better believe I will.

    Quote
    A medical crisis, an economic crisis, and a cultural and social crisis, have hit us all at once, raising some fundamental questions.
    [size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
    On July 22, 1988, after the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta, the party nominee, Gov. Michael Dukakis, enjoyed a 17-point lead over Vice President George W. Bush.
    Five weeks later, on Labor Day, Dukakis was down eight points, the same margin by which he would lose the election. He had lost 25 points in one month.
    What had happened? During August, Republican attack groups elevated and relentlessly pounded what might be called Dukakis’ Bay State radical liberalism.
    He had proudly called himself a card-carrying member of the ACLU. He had vetoed a bill requiring the Pledge of Allegiance in Massachusetts’ schools. He was against imposing the death penalty. He had issued weekend passes to convicted killers such as the infamous Willie Horton, who had used his get-out-of-jail-free card to go to Maryland and rape and murder.
    Vice President Bush ended up winning 40 states.
    Is this possible today? Because a turnaround of that magnitude appears to be needed by Donald J. Trump.
    Over the weekend, the bad news on the virus front turned awful, for the country and Trump.
    The U.S. dead from the coronavirus hit 135,000. COVID-19 deaths, whose weekly average had been falling since April, began to rise again.
    New cases of the infection began appearing in previously unseen numbers across the Sun Belt. Florida set a U.S. record with more than 15,000 new cases in one day.
    This surge in infections is occurring as the nation debates whether to send its young back to schools. Children, teachers and students could arrive in classrooms in the millions in late summer only to be sent home in a new shutdown as a second wave of COVID-19 hits this fall.
    Were that not enough to concentrate the mind, an economy that was as strong as any in modern history last winter now looks to be in a depression. The good news of the May-June revival could be canceled out by shutdowns mandated by the new infections.
    Beyond this, America’s racial divide has reopened. The attacks on cops and their demonization in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, has led to demoralization, resignations and retirements, and, from there, to an explosion of shootings and killings in major cities.
    And we have witnessed the outbreak of a cultural revolution, which holds that as America has, from birth, been a slave-owning society whose policies toward the native-born amounted to cultural and ethnic genocide, the statues of those generations of men who produced such a history should all be pulled down and smashed.
    A medical crisis, an economic crisis, and a cultural and social crisis, have hit us all at once, raising some fundamental questions.
    Does America retain the unity, strength and sense of purpose to lead the world? Is American democracy still the model for mankind?
    Trump is not responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. And the shutdowns that induced today’s depression were as much the decisions of governors and mayors as of the president. Yet, he is the one whose fate is tied to the state of the economy in November 2020.
    And, politically, Trump is the one paying the price.
    Several national polls have Joe Biden up by 10 points or more, and polls in swing states, as well as must-carry states for Trump such as Florida, have Biden leading. In the money primary, Biden and the Democrats turned May and June into winning months. Their Senate candidates are awash in cash in states where they had been seen as sacrificial lambs.
    The pundits, following the polls, are giddily predicting a Biden win, a recapture of the Senate and the retention of Democratic control of the House.
    What can Trump do? What should Trump do?
    In 1948, Harry Truman looked like a certain loser to Gov. Tom Dewey. So he sent a raft of liberal legislation to the Hill and challenged the Republican Congress to enact it. When Congress airily dismissed his proposals, Truman barnstormed the country, calling on America to help him rid the nation of this “no-good, do-nothing 80th Congress.”
    Which the country proceeded to do, as it elected Truman and threw out the first Republican Congress to sit since before the Depression.
    What the Trump folks must do now is to zero in on Biden’s vulnerabilities, personal and political.
    First among these is Biden’s transparently diminished verbal and mental capacity. He is no longer the man who bested Paul Ryan in the vice presidential debate of 2012. Even during controlled appearances where he reads from a teleprompter, Biden emits a sense of unease that he will lose control of his ghostwritten script.
    Second, the Biden campaign has embraced an agenda that is, in part, Bernie Sanders-AOC-Black Lives Matter.
    The Trump folks need to force Biden to come out of his basement and either embrace or renounce the radical elements of his agenda. They need to do for Biden what Lee Atwater & Co. did for Dukakis.[/font][/size]
