Sometimes no deal is good enough
President Donald Trump, the best president of my lifetime and the modern day savior of American democracy, believes in capitalism. He believes in “The Art of The Deal.” He believes that most humans, given good choices to select from, will almost always if not always choose logical, reasonable, rational options.
It is with this earnest mindest that President Trump has approached the Middle East. And in some ways, his view on human choices and preferences has, in fact, borne out with the wealthy Gulf states (Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait). These sparsely populated countries are exceptionally rich, and everything they do is centered on money. Money is the language that President Trump speaks most and best, because he is a capitalist. And it is piles of money that keep the rulers of the Gulf states in power.
So, money brings together some of President Trump’s foreign policy goals into alignment, or slight overlap, with the oil producing Arab Gulf states.
Where this money-and-comfort mindset and worldview fails is in the face of apocalyptic, genocidal supremacists like Adolf Hitler back then, or the jihadi Iranian Shia mullahs in the present. These people did not and do not speak the language of money or human comfort and happiness, other than to use these thoughts to move themselves forward on the chess board in the short term. Their currency is raw power and sheer domination and control of everyone in front of them, by any means necessary.
They are ruthless, whereas President Trump believes in choices and opportunities.
The jihadi/ Hitlerian supremacist view is contrary to President Trump’s view. The totally rational “Mutually Assured Destruction” doctrine that kept Soviet Russia and America from nuking one another in the Cold War does not apply in Iran, nor with any other Islamist country. There, money is only a means, not a goal. Lots of jihadis are happy to live in poverty, if it helps them achieve their measure of wealth in power and human subjugation.
Trump believes in kindness and human choices, free people making their own choices and reaching “deals” for mutual benefit. On the other hand, Jihadis believe in you, me, and Trump all on our knees (which is why the American and European Left share common cause with the Jihadis).
America was founded on individual freedom and choice, which are completely the opposite of Islam, and especially the jihadis within Islam. These two world views are incompatible; they do not overlap in a Venn diagram. To date, leaders like President Trump have managed to find points of contact between Western values and Islam where friction is least, but he has been unable to really find significantly overlapping areas of interest. The Abraham Accords came very close to bringing the Sunni Arab countries into a shared Venn diagram space with Israel and America, but those accords are pretty shaky. As soon as jihadis somewhere start their la-la-la-la yodeling thing, the Gulf states reflexively go into retreat. Culture is powerful.
With Iran, there is no compromise. Not because America does not want to, but because Iran’s apocalyptic, genocidal, fanatic jihadis do not accept any point of contact between themselves and anyone else that is not resolved 100% on their terms. And they will fight to the very end, even if they have to drag down their enemies with them into the abyss, to seek that end result.
President Trump is both a patient and loving man. That is clear. But he is also having trouble computing that anyone can be so different from him and from America’s hope and promise as are the Iranian jihadis. And so he keeps on trying to “make a deal.”
Mister President, a lot of us Americans, who are still squarely and absolutely in your corner, think you have tried more than is possible or than is even smart. You have done all that is possible to avert an absolute showdown with the Iranian jihadis, and they have been unable to meet you halfway. You must now accept that they are incapable of thinking like you, thinking in terms of mutual benefit. They do not think like that, or like you.
If the Iranian jihadis are allowed to stay in power in any way, shape, or form, they will return to their field of battle with America on their own terms. They will have learned from their mistakes since 2025, and they will adapt. Iran will find a way to destroy or damage America, one way or another, if they are allowed to remain in power.
You must finish the Iranian jihadi job, Mister President. If you love America as much as we all think you do, then you must make the unpleasant decision to wipe out the Iranian jihadis. It is us or them, and we elected you to protect Us.
We know that this is a difficult time for you, President Trump, and we stand firmly with you, at your side. Absolutely no one else in American politics has the strength of character that you have, and if you do not save America from jihadi Iran now, then we will end being apocalyptically victimized by them in the future. There is no art of the deal that you or anyone else can pull off that will avoid this; only military success right now will protect America.
Passover + Easter = Peaceful freedom
Tonight is the beginning of the week of Passover, the ancient Biblical holiday marking the end of Jewish slavery in Egypt and the beginning of their 40-year trek to Israel, their Biblical homeland.
Passover is the major worldwide holiday dedicated to human freedom. From Passover comes inspirational phrases in American founding documents and coinage, and the Last Supper in the Gospel. This Sunday is Easter, the worldwide holiday about spiritual renewal and peace.
Tonight, while Jews and Christians are at their Seder tables, President Trump will announce the beginning of the end of the war to end Iran’s apocalyptic nuclear holocaust ambition. This Easter Sunday will mark the beginning implementation of that winding down. The symbolism of this timing of events is powerful.
In just one month, President Trump has done what naysayers and spineless apologists had said could never be done – the destruction of a genocidal Islamic tyranny determined to hijack our entire planet. Iran as we knew it a month ago is no more, its 47 years of nonstop militarism now in rubble, its threats to humanity vastly diminished.
Imagine if world leaders had had Trump’s level of foresight and bravery in 1938; if they had had his strength of conviction to confront Adolf Hitler before he gained momentum; there would likely have been no World War II, no mass destruction of Europe by the genocidal German Nazis. President Trump’s principled, decisive nature this past month has saved what is left of Western Civilization, giving it time to save itself in the long run, before it is subsumed under a wave of foreign ground invasion and Iranian nuclear missiles.
Tonight, the world knows peace for the first time in a very long time. If you don’t know this, you should, and if you don’t appreciate this fact, you need to contemplate on it. No more TDS, no more JDS, just give thanks that the America you so easily take for granted has a lot more breathing room. Much thanks to be said this Passover and this Easter for President Trump’s gift of peace and freedom.
And we all hope the Iranian People will take this same opportunity for themselves.

Carpe diem, carpe lifeum, carpe friendum
Carpe diem – Latin for seize the day – was popularized in America by now deceased actor Robin Williams in a wonderful (if moronically anti gun) movie called The Dead Poets Society.
In his characteristic full-throttle mode, hard to tell if he was acting or just being him-so-interesting-self, Robin Williams playing the school teacher, beautifully exhorted his high school students to carpe diem, seize the day, to gather ye rose buds which ye may, to live life fully moment by moment and day by day, to miss nothing, let no opportunity slip by, to live and be their best.
This is an ages-old challenge for all of us, especially Americans, whose lives today are filled with so much clutter and nonsense, especially online (except for this blog, of course), so much material chasing, and ego driving, and so little opportunity for reflective contemplation.
Well have I been reminded of carpe diem in just the past couple days. Another friend gone, before their time, before the years said they should be gone and leave us. A wonderful and interesting person, full of life and cantankerous fist-waving at President Trump and Republicans, who was a pretty conservative rural white Southerner, nonetheless, whose personal views on borders and illegal immigration and public welfare for new immigrants fell deeply into Republican policy territory. Whether this contrary policy place was cognitive dissonance or confusion or misplaced brand loyalty to a political party that had long ago left this person behind, I do not know, nor do I care.
I never cared. It just made them an interesting person, whose chemistry somehow strangely matched with my own.
This old friend was important to me, as are so many old friends from, let’s say, the past fifty years of my ever-shortening life. And yet, not important enough to see in person for many years, despite mutual declarations of intentions and desires to do so. So much to catch up on, the kids, the grandkids, career, friends, family.
Now, this person like a puff of smoke in a gentle breeze – poof – is gone from my life, and from the life of their own children and family, who loved them very much.
As I age, I am seeing more and more friends literally drop dead or get sick and die. People I care about very much, and maybe to whom I have not expressed my appreciation in a long time. Or my apologies for stupid behavior in our youth. Or to share some knee-slapping hilarity over ridiculous and probably dangerous adventures we did together, long ago, when rural American youth did such things with impunity, and without fear of being branded a terrorist.
Yes, I have regrets, now that my friend is dead, before I had a chance to sit down with them one more time. And in this moment of regret, or recurring moments as I move through my day from one errand and activity to another, I am reminded to carpe diem.
And… Carpe Lifeum, Carpe Friendum.
To miss no opportunity to breathe in the richest of life that I can muster, at every moment. Enjoy my friends, my life. Before I, too, suddenly and unexpectedly breathe my last breath on this earth.
Not to sound morbid, but my friend did just unexpectedly die, literally dropped dead, and so let us both turn this sad black rose into a red rose bud that we gather together, and treasure together, while we yet may.
Goodbye, old friend, and Hello, living friends. We need to have a coffee or a beer together, don’t we…
Last observations on Iran
Jihadi Iran is being corralled the only way that genocidal fanatics can be defended against, with overwhelming force. Someone had to do it, or the world risked losing the Middle East oil fields to Iran and its evil partner China in the short term.
Trump-run America and Israel stepped in to correct an unacceptably dangerous situation, and as a result we have been subject to “gaslighting” by people like Qatari-owned Tucker Carlson and plain vanilla Jew haters and not-careful thinkers who believe that America is too big to fail, too big to be taken over, too big to be blown up, etc. Just ridiculous nonsense.
For 47 years, Iran has threatened to destroy America and all of Western Civilization. They said so loud and proud every week, while frenzily developing nuclear bombs and the intercontinental ballistic missiles to carry them around the globe. Iran’s theocrats also developed all kinds of conventional weapons and missiles that can quickly destroy civilian populations and their civilized living centers. Pretty much mass terror. The Iranian mullahs believe in mass death, mass martyrdom, as a necessity of bringing their messiah to life.
To say that such people as Iran’s mullahs should be just left alone to do their own thing was either laziness, evil, or way out of touch thinking with such a harsh reality unfolding before us for decades. Every American city was increasingly at risk of being blown up in a huge mushroom cloud, or irradiated by a dirty nuke and made uninhabitable. You might be OK with these things happening to Tel Aviv, or even Madrid or Paris, but if it could happen in those places, it was eventually going to happen here in America, too.
Yes, there are some Americans who hate Israel so much that they are willing to sacrifice America if they can see Israel destroyed. I am not one of those people. If you are one of those people, then there is something wrong with your psychology, your physical brain, your hormone levels, your morality, or your loyalty to America. Please get yourself fixed up or get the hell out of America, and take some anarchists with you on your way out.
Shia Iran, as run since the 1979 US Embassy hostages were taken, has been a growing menace, a rabid dog threatening the entire planet. Only the most goofball isolationists believe that they should have been left to themselves. I am a man with plenty of vivid fantasies to my credit, and not even I can conjure up that big of a fantasy, where America survives a nuclear-armed Iran.
So, President Trump is doing the hard lifting that everyone before him was too weak or too evil to do. Some people, like both of the Presidents Bush, were just weak. Others, like Barack Hussein Obama, were just evil, and sought to empower the Shia mullahs as a way to damage America. AutoPen Biden had an illegitimate administration full of Obama staffers who tried to help Iran, again. And against all of this, President Trump has stood like a rock.
Thank you, President Trump, for having the incredible strength to make the tough decision that no other Western leader could or would make.
Are there unknowns, costs, and risks with removing Iran’s mullahs? Yes, of course there are. But life is full of risks every day, and dealing with big risks is what responsible world leaders do, or should do. That is your job.
The bitching and whining coming from all but a few Democrat Party officials is terribly disheartening to behold. What the hell happened to the Democrat Party of my youth? They were patriots, America lovers, freedom lovers. Not these people today, these serial accusers who contribute nothing to resolving the Iran problem, but nonetheless find fault with every solution that President Trump has (and still have said nothing about AutoPen Biden’s $83 Billion disastrous retreat from Afghanistan that cost 13 American servicemen lives).
The cost of a rabid dog Iran running amok with nuclear missiles was far greater than any money America spends to disarm said Iran. Ditto the risks.
And the unknowns a temporarily headless Iran will face are part and parcel of reality and the responsibility of taking big boy steps toward restoring world-wide sanity. Plan A is to remove the rabid dog head. Plan B is to see what can be done with Iran’s body politic afterwards, and whether it can be resurrected whole, or Frankenstein-stitched-and-bolted into a self-run democracy, a parliamentary monarchy, or a kindlier, more avuncular, gentler theocracy run by new people who believe that God loves all humans, period.
For all the anti-Trump naysayers out there, please grow the hell up. You guys have made a large industry out of complaining about President Trump, about Israel, about Jews, about a free America, about “Zionists” and about everything else except subjects that are really important to humanity. Please move on to some other salient subject where your massed brain power will help solve an important question or problem, like curing cancer. You are otherwise just wasting your life force on ridiculous nonsense, and everyone who cares about America can see it.

Trump Saves the World
President Trump has just saved the world by defeating the most dangerous source of evil and villainy, the jihadi-run Republic of Iran. To call Iran’s theocratic authoritarian government a “republic” is the joke of the century. Nothing about Iran’s current government is anything like a republic. America is a republic, and while American governance and elections may have their challenges here and there, we are without a question a democratic nation that is run by The People.
For 47 years, Iran’s islamofascist government has been the poster child for cruelty. Women, especially, who stepped out of line and violated subjective rules of modesty, were at the least beaten. Thousands of beautiful, independent minded women were tortured and raped to death by enforcers. Just to send a message. In the name of Islam and Allah and all that. Next level or three levels higher crimes against humanity stuff. Nightmare stuff. Sadistic crazy person stuff. Official government stuff. Totally freakin’ evil stuff.
Now my Sunni friends will definitely criticize the Shia Iranian regime, mostly on theological grounds, but they will also admit that some of these same standards and problems are found in Sunni nations, too, like Pakistan. In Pakistan, Hindu and Christian men and women are routinely beaten to death, burned to death, drowned, stoned, etc in public, because someone says that they said something negative about Mohammed or whatever.
All it takes to get a good ol’ public stoning in these places, like Pakistan, is for someone Sunni to accuse a minority, someone Hindu or Christian, of some unprovable offense, and we are off to the races. Yes, there is a real problem with Islamic culture, but Iran beat them all by a mile.
Since 1979, Iran has been the main funder, sponsor, supplier, and trainer of violent terrorist groups all around the world. Religious focus, yes, but also just an all-out assault on Western Civilization. So many innocent people have been hurt, killed, maimed, damaged by Iranian-backed violence that it is probably impossible to count them all (and if you are curious about what this most religious Iran does to its own people, look up “Iran Hangings” in a browser with the safe function off).
What most Americans do not realize is how much increased cost has gone into our clothing, food, and gasoline just because of threats from Iranian-supported terrorists. The costs of having to move stuff around and past these bad people are passed on to American consumers. By now, these added costs are pro forma, but they should never have existed in the first place.
Yes, I can hear it now: “Iran is someone else’s enemy, not America’s enemy.”
Only two types of people say that: Iranian-aligned jihadis, and their stooges.
For 47 years, Iran’s government has been saying openly its stated goal is the total destruction of America. Only the most spoiled, bratty, out of touch Americans believe that such a threat was empty. There is evidence that Iran’s government was front-and-center involved in the theft of America’s 2020 election, which resulted in the installation of a pro-Iran, anti-America, AutoPen Biden Administration. This is serious stuff, nothing to scoff at.
So now President Trump resorted to force, because diplomacy had not only failed but was being used against the West by the cunning Iranians, Iran is being brought up hard. Its nuclear missile ambitions are being neutered even harder than they were in 2025. No nation, especially America, has to sit back and wait for someone’s stated pledge to destroy you to come to fruition before fighting back.
Iran threatened America about a million times too often, and finally America fought back.
President Trump has done the right thing in erasing Iran’s leadership, its nuclear stockpiles, its missile factories. None of the criticism against him makes sense. Either you are for America or… you are for Iran?!
Sure looks like an entire political party here in America prefers that Iran succeed in bombing America with nuclear missiles, with the exception of my US Senator, John Fetterman. How weird and how sad.
And so many of today’s harsh critics of President Trump never said a thing over the past two months as the mullahs mass murdered an estimated 36,000 non violent Iranian protestors, including public hangings for simply criticizing the ayatollahs. Sorry, your credibility card has been revoked, perennially outraged and protesting Leftist people.
Now that Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its intellectual capital lie in smoking ruins, Western Civilization is saved. For the moment, and from this particular threat. We have other threats, most notably all of the jihadis who live inside Western nations, and who are advocating for anti-Western changes to America and Europe. But the most immediate one is gone.
Thank you, President Trump. Again.

ICE & Tariffs are acid test of loyalty to America First
Support for secure American borders and controlled (and highly limited) immigration is a basic tenet of loyalty to America. People who want open borders and all of the chaos and cultural destruction that follow are by definition enemies of America, as it was founded and run for the past 250 years. We cannot have open borders and have a nation, especially a nation of laws, and a nation of laws that are applied equally to one and all. When borders are erased, the nation is erased.
That Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) has become the target for de-funding and dissolution by an entire political party says a lot: That political party is once again, like it was in 1860, the main domestic enemy of America. That political party wants to dissolve ICE, and with it, dissolve America.
Please, do not tell us that you are a Democrat, but that you “don’t agree with that.” Like the Democrats who I know personally, and love, and yet do not understand.
If you are a registered Democrat who votes for elected Democrats, who are trying to implement open borders policy, then you are supporting open borders and all that flows from it. So, opposing open borders, and supporting ICE, is one acid test of loyalty to a constitutional American republic, as founded.
A second acid test of loyalty to America is support for tariffs on our trading partners. Tariffs protect American manufacturing businesses, American jobs, many American unions, and often equally match foreign tariffs on American products tit-for-tat. Saying that you are for tariffs tells us straight-up that you want America to be treated equally by its trading partners, and that you do not want American jobs to be shipped overseas to our competitors. Supporting tariffs also says that you want America to enjoy having strategic depth across a universe of business sectors and manufacturing areas. Without strategic depth in domestic production, America is at a great disadvantage against our trading partners and enemies.
A classic example of domestic weakness is the array of critical minerals and metals that America depends upon and which we source from outside America. Most come from unstable regions where child slaves and environmental catastrophes go hand-in-hand with the related mining, or from enemies like China, who can use embargoes to damage American military and communications production. Tariffs correct artificial market inequities, and create financial incentives for domestic production and mining within America.
Yes, conventional modern economics states that tariffs have a negative rebound effect on American consumers, who supposedly end up paying for those tariffs when they buy foreign products imported into America. Without question there is some truth to this, especially in the early stages of tariffs on certain products, especially things like furniture. And yet there is also a ton of evidence to the contrary, where once America met tariffs on us with tariffs on them, our own domestic capacity was once again incentivized to giddyup and go.
I myself have a front row seat on the tariff policy debate. In the world of hardwood timber, logs, and lumber, we are witnessing a one-two punch in the international markets that has caused hardwood products to hold steady in a low area. When China’s domestic demand for American hardwoods dropped several years ago, then our log and lumber prices fell commensurately. We used to cut certain hardwood species and put them right onto shipping containers bound for Asia; not much right now.
Add tariffs to that weak Chinese demand, and we have a suppression of our hardwoods markets. As a result, a lot of Pennsylvania and New York sawmills have gone out of business in the past couple of years. And timber is a poor investment right now. However, as painful and as scary as this situation is, it is the kind of natural market correction America needed. I cannot blame President Trump for this situation, and frankly, I cannot really blame AutoPen Biden for it, either, as these are supply-and-demand forces beyond America’s control. One thing President Trump can and did control, however, was the matching of tariffs on Chinese wood flooring and furniture with American tariffs of our own.
Why not? If you love America, and you want America to survive and thrive, then you want Americans to stop giving away our products, our money, our jobs, our natural resources. Tariffs do that, quite well. Especially when you live in the Number One Trading Partner nation in the world, America.
In conclusion, if you oppose ICE and secure borders and controlled legal immigration, then you are for chaos and the destruction of America. Just like you were an outside enemy seeking our failure. And if you oppose tariffs, or you oppose giving the president the power to tariff trade items, then you really have it in for our American union workers, and you hate our small towns and manufacturing plants. You have then failed two acid tests of your loyalty to America.
And if you are disloyal to America, you should not be surprised when people like me, loyal patriots, view you with great skepticism. But then, if you belong to the political party of 1860 insurrection and slavery, you are already used to that…and it seems you wear that big scarlet “A” as a badge of honor!

What NFL football game? Halftime halfwit what?
I keep hearing about this NFL something-or-other, and seeing headlines about this football halftime thingybob today. No idea what these people are talking about, what these events are.
See, in 2015 the National Football League began going “woke” and invoking national politics while trying to pose as athletes peforming circus tricks for audiences seeking a time-out from life. Being politically Leftwing while trying to entertain the masses are two mutually exclusive endeavors. Never the twain shall meet. And both shall fail.
It was intriguing that in 2016 the NFL players began kneeling during the National Anthem, as a sign of disrespect to America. The same America that made these halfwit imbeciles multi-millionaires was suddenly no good, they said, and apparently by demonstrating that they rejected America, the NFL players showed how virtuous they were.
None of it made any sense, until we realized that it all had to do with rejecting Donald trump’s Make America Great Again political message and movement, and the capitalist American culture that created the NFL among many other things.
So, since 2016, I have ceased watching football. I refuse to support something and somebody that does not support me. I refuse to embrace and celebrate people who reject and denigrate everything I hold dear and value the highest (America, our flag, our anthem, our 250 year old identity as a constitutional republic etc etc).
So, no NFL game for me today, and no halfwit time-out “entertainment” freak show by a South American man in a woman’s dress who sings about how much he hates America, followed by a Canadian band called Green Gay or Green Bay or something, who also sing about how much they hate America.
None of this makes sense to me, none of it is entertaining to me, but all of it does make me recognize, yet again, just how acidly destructive the political Left is. Because the Left makes every effort to take over every institution it can get ahold of, and then bend that institution to its ideological purpose of promoting Marxist revolution and destroying freedom and capitalism, it will destroy the very things that the people hold dearest. Like football.
At one time football was “America’s sport,” and from PeeWee Football on up to the NFL, young men from every corner of our great nation aspired to qualify to aggressively compete in front of the nation. It was fun, it was an honor, and the NFL was a good income. Now? To quote Rush Limbaugh, watching the NFL games is like watching the Crips versus the Bloods, a gang fight. Very little class, all violent, all selfish and arrogant behavior, and now in 2026, with a huge helping of We Hate America FU poured on top of it.
No thanks, NFL. You can stick your crappy event and your crappy business up your you-kn0w-what. You lost me. I will be spending my evening reading by the fire, maybe smoking some cherry cavendish in my pipe, maybe a glass of whisky at my elbow. Things here at my home will be peaceful, happy, and all-American, not that you NFL people have any idea what I am talking about.

MELANIA movie is great!
If you had told me before this afternoon that I would willingly go see a movie about a pretty lady and her courtiers, and actually really enjoy it, I would have told you that you are nuts. This is because I am an unapologetically toxically masculine Alpha male who likes old firearms, leather boots (Danner Canadians are my fav), custom hunting knives, heavy packs, and rugged landscapes far from humanity that challenge my physical stamina.
My favorite thing to do is a solo wilderness camping hunt in wilderness areas, where if something badly goes wrong, there is only me to deal with it. A man should regularly spend time living on the edge, and challenging himself, smelling badly and getting dirt and maybe blood under his fingernails.
So, girl stuff, girl clothing, high heels (lots and lots of high high heels in this film), fabric, pretty hair, makeup, etc are not really in my bailiwick let alone my universe, OTHER THAN enjoying a beautiful woman who can put it all together in a nice package that makes my head turn and makes me let out an involuntary whistle. And if you are a manly man lucky enough to find one like that who will share your man cave with you, you have hit the jackpot.
President Donald J. Trump hit the jackpot with Melania, and this movie about her shows us why. She is gracious and graceful, gentle and kind yet quietly tough, stoic, better-than-Vogue stylish and stone cold to those who say they are her enemies, while openly loving to her family and allies. World class beautiful. What a woman.
Lucky you, Mister President. Lucky America, to have a First Lady (FLOTUS) with all this class and refined poise.
Apparently Amazon owner Jeff Bezos underwrote this film, and in it we catch a brief glimpse of Bezos sitting next to VP Vance at one of the main 2025 gala Inauguration dinners. Money buys you political access, right? Smart guy, Bezos, right? Everything about this film is A+ professionally done. Everything. Every tiny detail. The music choices, the editing, the filming, the scenes, every. single. thing. in this film is 100% perfectly done. And if Melania were a Democrat, this whole movie would have been done free of charge a hundred times over by the mainstream media, NPR, PBS, etc. in a hundred different articles and documinis.
One of the other perfect things that comes through is the enormous role of gay men, behind the scenes, in Melania’s life. Which is the life of chic lifestyle the world over. From the clothing that Melania wears to the Inaguration invitations to the table settings and arrangements, gay guys are running the show.
Now, if a hulking, hairy, smelly, straight Alpha guy with the artistic sense of a brick like me is telling you the following, you can put it in the bank: Our world would be a much much poorer, much less pretty, much less enjoyable, much less beautiful place without gay men. Strange though they may be from a biological perspective, gay men are a work of hybridized biological art that combines the best that men and women do separately, in one package, only better. Just have to say it, because though I have known that the fashion world is rife with them, this movie revealed it like nothing else could. Serious talent, gentlemen. Wow.
No, I am not an “ally.” Nor am I “pro gay.” Rather, I am pro human. I want everyone on this planet to be treated fairly and equally and to have the same opportunities. I also like giving credit where it is due to people who have earned it.
President Trump obviously makes some appearances in this behind-the-scenes filming done after the 2024 election and through all of the White House prep and resulting balls and dances and Inauguration speeches. Some funny quips and comments on and off the camera. His kids make brief appearances, while young Barron Trump gets the most attention out of all of them. I would not underestimate Barron Trump. Whatever this young man sets out to do, he is going to do it perfectly.
And why not? His mother is the most impressive Melania.
Go see this neat film. Sharing the movie theater with us were 85 other people. I have not counted anywhere close to 85 people in a movie theater since Top Gun: Maverick four years ago, and before that I cannot recall being in another movie pulling in so many people at one showing. After the lights went on, I spoke with some of the audience members still standing around, and they all liked it for different reasons.
