Are you tired of winning yet?
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Remember when President Trump said we were going to win so much that we are going to get tired of it? That's exactly how it felt this past month. But I'm not tired. Far from it.
The Supreme Court has been delivering, big time, on Mr. Trump's promise to restore the rule of law. And the Left is showing America its profoundly un-American and uncivil face every single day.
On June 4, the Court upheld the right of Christian baker Jack Phillips in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission not to be forced to help facilitate a same-sex "wedding." ( Read story )
Although Justice Anthony Kennedy did his best to narrow the 7-2 ruling by focusing on the civil rights panel's animus toward Mr. Philips' Christian beliefs, the Court applied the opinion on June 25 in the case of Washington State florist Barronelle Stutzman. ( Read story )
The Christian grandmother had been convicted under a state law for not servicing a gay "wedding." The Supremes vacated the ruling and ordered the Washington Supreme Court to reexamine it in light of Masterpiece .
In both cases, it was the "expressive" nature of the event at issue, not the customers, whom both vendors had served routinely and regarded as friends. The media utterly ignore that crucial distinction.
On June 11, in Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute , Justice Samuel Alito's majority 5-4 opinion said that Ohio's process to remove voters using change-of-residence grounds didn't violate the National Voter Registration Act. That was a blow to progressives who are working to weaken electoral safeguards. ( Read story )
On June 26, in Trump v. Hawaii , Chief Justice John Roberts smacked federal judges who had decided that they, not the president, were in charge of determining who could enter the United States. In upholding the "travel ban" on terror-prone nations, the Court's 5-4 ruling restored rightful executive authority. ( Read story )
Also, on June 26, in National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra , in a 5-4 ruling written by Clarence Thomas, the Court struck down a California law requiring crisis pregnancy centers to advertise abortion services for violating the First Amendment. ( Read story )
It should have been unanimous. Think of Alcoholics Anonymous being forced to post directions to the nearest bar or liquor store. Still, it was a huge, pro-life win for free speech.
On June 27, in Janus v. American Federation , in a 5-4 majority opinion by Justice Alito, the Court ruled that public employees couldn't be forced to pay dues to unions that they didn't want to join. This is a major blow to the Left, which has extracted hundreds of millions of dollars from unwilling participants. ( Read story )
Finally, "swing vote" Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement, paving the way for another conservative in the mold of Neil Gorsuch. Justice Kennedy voted to uphold Roe v. Wade in 1992 in Planned Parenthood v. Casey and wrote all four major LGBT rulings up to and including the Obergefell opinion in 2015 that imposed same-sex "marriage" on all 50 states. ( Read story )
These and other developments may turn the allegedly inevitable "blue wave" into a red tide. The liberal media's relentless, over-the-top propaganda blaming Mr. Trump for the separation of children from their illegal immigrant parents at the border, which began under President Obama, makes it appear that illegal immigrants are the only people worth covering.
Nobody else in America matters. Your heart can go out to these families without buying the Democrats' radical, open borders solutions.
And there's this: You've heard how the progressive owner of the Red Hen, a Lexington, Virginia, restaurant, kicked out White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on June 22 at the request of gay employees. But did you know that after Mrs. Sanders' party went to a nearby eatery, the Red Hen owner organized a protest mob to scream at them? This does not play well with most folks. ( Read story )
Other Trump officials or supporters are also being harassed. The new face of Democrat "tolerance" is Rep. Maxine Waters of California. At a Los Angeles rally on June 23, she called for more :
"If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."
Meanwhile, Antifa is back in the news, building a tent city illegally at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Portland, Oregon, and attacking ICE agents where they find them.
In New York, 28-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez upset House Democratic Caucus Chairman New York Rep. Joe Crowley in last Tuesday's primary. An acolyte of Bernie Sanders, she calls for socialist healthcare, free college tuition, and abolishing ICE.
That would mean tens of millions flooding across the border to replace the current electorate, which would pick up the tab for it all. Do "everyday Americans," as Hillary Clinton calls them, want this?
Can you imagine being one of those ten Democratic U.S. senators facing re-election in states that Mr. Trump won by wide margins? They have to pretend their party is moderate, reasonable and sane, a daunting task.
Anyone tired of winning, yet?

Good times indeed. For all Americans.
Are you tired of being total assholes yet? Didn't think so.
Your example is encouraging.
That is Not
the definitely definitive definition of “crazy” but
u go with it
Since when is calling out assholery crazy?
Why? Because your posts are so low brow that people of normal intelligence can't understand?
On this 4th of July, 2018, remember that during the American Revolution the conservatives were The Tories. They're still here.
Well, what did it for you? Was it NK increasing it's nuke production after trump met with them? Or was it the imprisoning of children?
When he goes to the golf course, Trump always wins. I hear he averages about ten under par over 18!

TMI
No it wouldn't be the same and odd that you would go there.
Haaha
Actually I don't even believe in the P tape. One would think it would be out by now.
The odd thing about his taxes is most people probably wouldn't understand them. Not a 1040EZ form.
I still think he wouldn't release them because of his business interest. Don't want to shake up investors.
Bwahahahaha! That was hilarious!
From my understanding he hired the russian hookers to pee on the bed that Obama and Michelle slept in because....that's how much he hates Obama. Trump really is that mentally ill.
So...you won some court cases? BFD
So far we have a bigger swamp, a guy you elected that made it very clear that nobody from his campaign had contact with the Russians but we have convictions and indictments of his co-conspiritors which proves once again he lied. He even denied dictating his son's weak ass excuse that we find...he lied and his legal team had to confess to that fact.
"North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat" and I will say it again...he got played by his own ego. He conceded and gave in to Kim, and Kim is processing nuclear fuel once again.
Did ya win that one?
The Republicans are running away from this administration because they see what you are blindly following.
The economy is about to crash...and it's the fault of the right and Trump. His lying has gone over the edge and you and the rest of the fools are believing him.
Are you really happy about Obamacare getting the boot? I hope so because the insurance companies just said you "won" a 19%-30% increase in premiums.
Happy with the stock market? I hope so. It was on a trajectory set by Obama and steadily progressing....Trump has touched it now and the needle is shaking like a polygraph tied to his arm.
Happy about the tariffs? I hope so because it's going to get very expensive to live soon.
How 'bout them farmers? Farming has now become the #1 occupation for suicide. China sent a message you didn't seem to get...they didn't need tariffs, they bought their soybeans and sorghum from every country but ours. Unfortunately 1/2 of all soybean planted was intended for export to China...and if that wasn't enough they cancelled future contracts.
He's having a hissy fit about Harley manufacturing overseas and threatened to tax them to death...has he said anything to Ford or GM about building in Korea, China, Europe? Nope.
So, what did you win? A few court cases and the ability to post a bullshit lie from Sarah's lying father about the restaurant?
Has Trump stopped giving and being awarded worker visas from the "shithole" countries?
Nice to select a few minor wins while the global damage he's causing makes us losers.
I find it amusing that you tout these wins as you call them while he's killing the country. Not like the right cares....
We care. We just care more about America than you do.
No...you don't. You just like to think you do. Your pitiful party does not care any more about America than any other American citizen. That's just the BS lie the GOP likes to promote for their minions to blabber about.
Careless
is knot in all weighs synonamous, with
kare full
That is blatantly untrue. Where the hell do people get off pretending to love America more than some one else? Both sides need to stop this kind of rhetoric, that is tearing this country apart.
You're no different than "bi coastal urban elites", you're doing the same things you accuse them of doing.
That's not going to work out well.
They love their fantasy version of America more than we do. The America that puts white Christian males at the front of every line, the America that arrests blacks for drug crimes at three times the rate as whites even though whites use drugs at the same rate and sell drugs at an equal or even higher rate. The America that allows discrimination against other law abiding tax paying consenting adults just because their religion labels them "sexual deviants" because of who they fall in love with. The America that celebrates and memorializes the traitors who attacked our nation on April 12th, 1861 with over 1,500 statues, place names and plaques. The America that the South tried to make reality a 150 years ago, where people of color or people of other faiths are considered second class citizens with white Christians ruling over them. That is the America they love more than we.
We love the real America more than they do. The America that fought for civil rights, the America that protected immigrants and welcomed them to our shores, the shining beacon on the hill. The America and constitution that provides protections not just for the majority but protects the minority from the tyranny of the majority. The America that sent our soldiers to Europe to put down the rabid Nazi dogs of racial superiority and hate. The America that stands for freedom, equality and justice for all regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, faith or lack thereof. That is the America that we love more than they, the America that the bigots hate and despise because it's the antithesis of their ignorant bigotry and false superiority.
.......which seems to correspond with a 1950s version of Alabama where women and black folks knew their place.
That version doesn't exist.
Sooooo. if the Dems take back the Senate and House and the hearings start ending with impeachment and conviction how "sure" are you going to be then? And Pence will be right along with him so don't bother with that BS. Are "WE" going to have to accept that?
Reminds me of how cock sure you were about Palin.
Amen !
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet?
Many presidential policies and actions take time to actually see the results both positive and negative. Sometimes what appears to be a negative in time becomes a positive and vice versa.
Time will show us the real positives and negatives with trump like they do with all preceding presidents.
Winning ? We'll see in the future,
trump and his followers believe he's mandate is to rebuild the country to HIS desire, we''ll all see in the long run how that works out.
Whatever happens the trumpublicans own it lock, stock and barrel now.
Good Luck America.
America is FUCKED
From what I hear about history it isn't the first time. I believe we will endure.
We’re all ready enduring the stupidest FUCKEN lying POTUS , the world has ever witnessed, and High, on endurance or not , Trump is exhausting with his incessant lying
True story
Nothing at all unprecedented about Trump, huh Steve?
At this point the only one I see that can take trump down is trump. I have always advocated for letting trump be trump. Sooner or later I really do believe he will cook his own goose.
Interesting you bring that up, Tex, you see, we now have a president who is enthusiastically supported by the KKK. A pathological liar and complete lunatic who praises the world's dictators and disparages America's staunchest allies. But this isn't the problem. The problem is that almost half the country actually supports this lunatic.
Perhaps America will have to survive another one.
Probably some of both. Many people (and the government) tend to over react to situations too quickly and without much thought.
America will be here post trump the question for me is how much will he change the actual workings of the democracy before he's done. Trump has always been "the Boss' he seems to be treating this "job" the same way. That is not usual and I hope it's not the new norm.
Actually trump is fairly predictable. He says anything he thinks will move his agenda forward.
Once you understand that you can't take him at his word... ever.. that simplifies understanding his ways. Just watch what he actually does. He doesn't plan out much and acts on instincts most of the time. His word isn't worth a shit and he knows it. He himself says "Words to me do not mean much, it's deeds that matter."
trump lives life like it is one huge negotiating game. Where he is out to win it all at any cost.
Now we are included.
Good Luck America.. or should I say Trumperika
I dont think "It's what they want"any more that you want America "burned to the ground"
BUT IF the wants and need of the opposition is continued to be ignored you may be correct. I can see much protesting, rioting and even deaths again in this country if one side is not represented and the opposing side tries to change the country too much too fast.
Unpopular as the idea is, America is actually pretty well evenly divided ideologically. We'd all be better off if we learned to compromise a little more once again and put an end to all the diviction in America.
The real winners are just the politicians and the media anyway. The good old American people sure are not gaining much form all the division that I can see. It's the politicians and media that gain the power and profit from all the division in America. We actually lose.
PS: A great reseasion... I dont see the liberals pulling that off. IF it happens it would probably be due to acts of congress or the president.
One must hope like Hell that trump really does know WTF he's doing internationally and not just going on instincts .. again. Like he seems to have done with his Zero immigration policy implemented instantaneously with no apparent detailed planing.
I continue to say "Good Luck America !"
Indeed. Trump is his own worst enemy. Yet, he is too stupid and arrogant to see it. However, the biggest shame is all he will take done with him, including America as we know it.
............
I'm still hopeful there is enough sanity in the country to endure trump in the long run.
Trump himself is not the real problem. Nor is the real problem all the crap that he is doing to our government, our country and our people.
The real problem is those who are so easily swayed and do not think for themselves, who will buy into all of Trumps BS and Dictatorial lunacy.
We can fix the psychotic and negative things that Trump is doing to our government, our country and our people, but.....we can't fix stupidity.
And that is the real problem in our country right now.
If you really want to be truthful we have been enduring it for 10 years already.
Masked calls for violence are still calls for violence. Why are so many on the left advocating it? The number of thumbs up on that comment is appalling. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
All 5000-8000 of them are powerful forces that will transform the USA, I'm sure!
It's easy to throw empty accusations without medical proof.
Within context , name these dictators and specify exactly how Trump "praised" them? Did he subserviently bow, give them mega-$$$$$ for nothing in return, and go on global apology tours? Oh, wait - that was someone else.
Fear not, the USA will survive, because every POTUS has had his dissenters.
It's the "no matter the cost" part that a concern.
I certainly looks like the cost is subservience to Putin. Putin owns trump.
haha, right...Trump isn't smart enough to own Putin.
True although at the end of Obama's term I was doing much better than at the start of Obama's term so I'm certainly hoping for at least the same results from this president.
Time will tell.
Interesting, I think that is the goal of most every President that has held the office - they run on a platform that promises to improve/rebuild and fix what ails America... does not appear to be a mandate only for Trump and his followers...
Fundamental change ring a bell? Just my observation, but that created a victim nation offended at any and everything ..
Fundamental change is and was reality.Nothing stays the same forever. Change is a normal way of life. The one constant in life is change.
The world changed and the USA changed wth it. The computer changed the world, the wars changing the world and the victims who seem offended at any and every change are really the conservatives who fear and cant handle a changing world. Sorry that's how life works, it changes.
that is the goal of most every President that has held the office - they run on a platform that promises to improve/rebuild and fix what ails America
trump and his followers have no respect for what came before them. That makes a huge difference in how the established government is being treated. Disbanding and destroying an established government is quite different that repairing or fixing one.
Until trump is out of office I have little doubt I'll continue to say "Good Luck America"
The improvement I want is to roll back 100years of incremental Marxist statism and instead promote individualism and restraint of government
liberty instead of enslavement to the state
Unless America has many LESS people I dont see the government ever rolling back in size.
The more people ya have the more problems you'll have the more laws will be enacted and the more government you'll need.
Yeah I saw that , I love the details of it.
As a rule maker of today I'd implement rules and regulations like making sure every T was crossed and every i was doted in all office memos and I'd ask for two regulations on pollution to be taken off my back.
Great strategy (sarc) although very kindergarten like and lacking any details as usual.
To bad, I've actually lived enough to know the devil is in the details, every time !!
This statement is misleading. The SCOTUS decided the baker case on other grounds and never reached the constitutional question of whether he could refuse or not. The florist case was remanded to the Court of Appeals to reconsider it in light of the baker case. But, to me, there’s a good chance that the lower court will say there was no animus against the florist’s beliefs like in the baker case and kick it right back up again. I can’t find the florist decision on the SCOTUS website so I guess the order is just a sentence long and says petition granted and case remanded.
Neither case is a constitutional victory but there’s definitely hope. I think the SCOTUS deliberately kept the florist case in play because Kennedy is retiring and he wanted to leave the unresolved constitutional issue to his replacement. With a reliable conservative judge on his way to the Court, things may be very different. Kennedy was the swing vote that imposed same sex marriage on all 50 states but a new judge could focus more on the issue of free expression.
Free expression? So denying people is freedom? I guess it is in a twisted way. Dumb as well, not a great business model.
Actually I see it as the opposite of freedom where different people are only allowed to shop at certain places.
You are giving freedom a cost of one person's freedom over another.
Some of the worst damage has been done to our alliances, he has treated them like enemies and treated our enemies and adversaries like besties He lies daily and now our word as a country is shot to hell. He has done so much damage to national security, from outing informants to breaking agreements. Republicans own this now, and the biggest beneficiary is Putin. Republicans can fool themselves, but they can't fool the world, and the reality is that Trump screwed us royally because the world sees everything I just said.
(deleted). It’s just the opposite
I don't know where you get your information, but it is not "just the opposite".
Seems you have some blind hatred of your own to contend with.
Scott Pruit resigned...
MORE WINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!
There are many things history will treat Trump unkindly for. But, the worst will be, that he was the cruelest President in history for demanding the forcible taking of the innocent children from their immigrant parents.
The parents were seeking asylum in our country and had their children ripped from their arms on the orders of the man who feels he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. There is no way he can buy or bully his way out of that part of his own history.
Since HA has been suspended the article is locked
Are you tired of winning yet?
No.
