“One evening an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, ‘My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all.One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.’
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: ‘Which wolf wins?’
The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one you feed.'”
I was going to prepare this for a Sunday Faith Blog then got to thinking how it reminds me of the way the Democrats are working behind the scenes to destroy Trump in every way they can; media, comedy insults on TV, misleading headlines on home pages, mischaracterizations, lies, etc etc……..
America is the GOOD in the story above…if we keep feeding it, it will WIN. There is definitely a ‘battle going on’ within Democrats these days, they’re in a total tailspin over Trump and what he wants to do. If they continue to do the terrible things it’s quite obvious the DNC is promoting (ever see days of the same exact terms for certain things on all new channels? That’s not an amazing coincidence! Think those protesters’ buses are paid for by themselves?!!! etc etc), Evil will win and Good will die.
We have to feed America with positive, optimistic things….Can we EVER get the Democrats to recognize that? What do you think?

There are many Democrats and other liberals who have become conservatives. There’s a blog called neo-neocon that I read that speaks to a lot of those.
Nothing succeeds like success and success is the proof of the pudding of our political philosophy.
So we press on and we succeed and although the other side will lie about our success, many will know otherwise and convert.

The hard-line far-lefters will never acknowledge anything positive coming from an administration which doesn’t kowtow to its “progressive” mantra.
When a Reagan or a Dubya or a Trump engineers an economic revival or passes civil- or human-rights legislation or brings down an aggressor or improves anything stonewalled or stymied by a Carter or a Clinton or an Obama, it’s like freeing a badger from a trap — you’re gonna get bit in the process.
DJT could bring lasting peace to the Middle East and his detractors would find a way to call him a racist or an Islamophobe or an anti-semite for it.
Reminds me of the old joke about the guy in Macon, Georgia, who sees a vicious dog attacking a child. At great risk to himself, he grabs the possibly rabid beast and chokes it to death with his bare hands.
A newspaper reporter witnesses the event and immediately records an article on his fone for publication in the paper. He titles it “Local Hero Saves Boy From Rabid Dog.” But when he shows it to the man for his approval, the man says, “Oh, but I’m not from Macon.”
So the reporter rewrites the headline to read, “Georgia Man Rescues Boy From Vicious Dog Attack.” But the man tells him he’s actually from Connecticut.
When the article appears in the paper later that day, the title reads “Yankee Kills Beloved Family Pet.”
Asi es la realidad de El Donaldo y los medios de comunicaciones.

Poppy kept looking at Berman every time King ticked her off like “GET HIM, WILL YOU!? I couldn’t, YOU get him now” It’s truly sad to watch the utter HATE.
King did a FABULOUS job standing up for Trump….He got them when they insulted the ‘tone’ of Trump’s presser…”Hey, Donald and I are from Queen’s and I’m used to this, I’m used to Damato and Giuliani…that’s how we talk in New York” 🙂

I just read this and had to laugh because it’s SO typical of the Trump type of criticism; See? Melanie’s MISERABLE , says a family friend BY NAME…but, at the end of the article, some say she’s very happy! Who reads down that far? 🙂
“This life wasn’t her dream. It was Donald’s,” stylist Phillip Bloch, a family friend of the Trumps, told the magazine. “Truthfully, it’s a lot to cope with.” It honestly has to be hard to live under the kind of scrutiny that the First Family deals with, especially when you had no political ambitions in the first place. “Melania is unhappy with how her life ended up,” an anonymous family source added. “She is miserable.”
[related id=’3aafa712-ea8b-4e8a-abec-61a2009a868f’ align=’center’][/related]
She’s also facing more scrutiny because she’s been remaining in Trump Tower in New York City until Barron finishes his school year (at a substantial cost to U.S. taxpayers). Previous first ladies have made a big splash when arriving in Washington, and Melania has steered clear of that, aside from a few public appearances. But the first lady has mainly been staying inside her apartment, and can’t even take Barron to school anymore. Apparently she’s happiest when she travels to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, also known as the “winter White House.”
But not everyone agrees with the report, and a more-chipper source close to Melania also told Us Weekly that “she is very happy with her life and supporting her husband and family.” Since there seems to be no consensus then, and it’s important to take this all with a large grain of salt, in fact basically a whole salt shaker?”
