New in PJ Media:
2023 is off to a resounding start, with the most pro-life president of the post-Roe v. Wade era blaming pro-lifers for the Republicans’ disappointing showing in the midterm elections. After being widely blamed for that poor showing, Donald Trump struck back on New Year’s Day, writing on Truth Social: “It wasn’t my fault that the Republicans didn’t live up to expectations in the MidTerms. I was 233-20! It was the ‘abortion issue,’ poorly handled by many Republicans, especially those that firmly insisted on No Exceptions, even in the case of Rape, Incest, or Life of the Mother, that lost large numbers of Voters. Also, the people that pushed so hard, for decades, against abortion, got their wish from the U.S. Supreme Court, & just plain disappeared, not to be seen again. Plus, Mitch stupid $’s!”
The singular achievement of the Trump presidency was the appointment of three pro-life Supreme Court justices who finally rid the nation of Roe v. Wade, which even the Left’s Supreme Court heroine Ruth Bader Ginsburg acknowledged was poorly reasoned, on thin (at best) Constitutional foundations, and simply bad law. Donald Trump, despite the shortcomings of his superabundantly publicized personal life, won the enduring gratitude of pro-lifers by laying the foundation for the removal of that exercise in judicial tyranny. The Dobbs decision came courtesy of the justices he appointed, and restored to each individual state the right to determine its abortion laws, and to outlaw it if a majority saw fit to do so. As a result, the relentless sacrifices to Moloch have actually eased in some areas.
It would be reasonable to think that any candidate responsible for such an achievement would run on it, and run on it hard, but Trump is busy running the other way. He claims that “the ‘abortion issue’” was “poorly handled by many Republicans, especially those that firmly insisted on No Exceptions, even in the case of Rape, Incest, or Life of the Mother, that lost large numbers of Voters,” and yet there simply were no such candidates in the 2022 midterms. Not a single Republican was out there running on the idea that abortion must be banned when the life of the mother is at risk. The question of whether a mother should kill her child if her own life is in danger, rather than sacrifice her life so that her child may live, is a separate question; the fact remains that this was simply not an issue for anyone in 2022. So what is Trump talking about?
There is more. Read the rest here.

The Bible says, “Do not put your trust in nobles or the son of earthling man; to whom no salvation belongs.”
It also says that “They are all alike corrupt; there is no one doing good.”
It is well known that politicians are liars….they say whatever they believe will help them get elected and to stay in office. Also well known for being flip-floppy and two-faced hypocrites, they somehow forget those who may have helped them get elected, but are going through hard times.
trump is no different. he’s an arrogant know-it all and now is blaming the very people who have “put their trust in ” him. as if these ones have made his life difficult.
The child who gets the beginning of his life from a rapist is no less worthy of that life than are the children produced by the bonds of love and marriage. This is true in all cases where a woman is carrying a child. No exceptions should be the rule of law if one wishes to be on the “right” and doing good.
some people will disagree with me, but I stick to what I know is moral, ethical, right and pleasing to my God and His Son Who love children.

Trump is right as always. Where did all those anti abortion people go in the midterms? Obviously a lot of them weren’t out there voting now that they got what they wanted or the election results would have swung heavily for the GOP. But there was no reward for Republicans. Instead, while those people stayed home, the Democrats whipped their base up to vote. They were given fuel not by national candidates so much, but at the state level. All kinds of state lawmakers saying exactly what Trump describes, pushing crazy bills, and ranting Bible thumpers with platforms on power trips. And that influenced many races. All politics is local is an old saying.

I agree w/ the president. There was an abortion issue screaming to be heard – the issue of abortion survivors being left to die, and I didn’t see a single ad about that. To this day, I see ads about codifying Roe v Wade in Congress, but none against this infanticide. Yeah, where are those pro-Life activists: it’s as though they think that nirvana has been achieved, and they disappeared. In Montana, a proposition outlawing this sort of infanticide went down in flames, and in Kansas too, an abortion rights proposition went down. This is horrific!
There is a way to deal w/ the ‘rape & incest’ exceptions. Just say that abortions can be legal for 15 weeks for everybody, but after that, it’s legal for nobody. If someone has been raped, that’s the window she has to make up her mind: she shouldn’t get to suddenly wake up one day in week 35 and say she’s changed her mind
There needs to be a change at the top of the GOP. Not sure about McCarthy, but Ronna McDaniels needs to go. I do hope Harmeet Dhillon manages to oust her. After 3 consecutive losses, she has no business remaining at the helm, taking credit for things like Florida while passing the buck on Pennsylvania and Arizona

Precisely!
somehistory says
The “students for life” are still at it, fighting for the unborn and those left to die on a table or in a toilet or in a garbage can. Everywhere they go, they are attacked, and not just verbally.
when courts decide that babies who were saved from being aborted and then grow to sue the doctor who refused to murder them should rake in bundles of cash, there is something wrong with society as a whole.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Or just w/ courts. The problem w/ society is more apparent when in ostensibly red states, ballot measures to outlaw babies dying on tables or toilets or garbage cans go down
somehistory says
Overall, there doesn’t seem to be much respect for life…esp of the little kids…in society. As Beck pointed out recently, it’s no longer just the trouble in islam ruled nations that kids are being used and abused by perverts (not exactly his words), but in America where the little kids are being led around by males in thongs and bras, while the parents push money into the G-strings and laughing as if their kids are engaged in childhood fun.
The ones they aren’t murdering, they are using to satisfy their immoral and perverted lusts.
Too many perverts in “red” states and everywhere else.

I have no regrets voting for Trump and I would vote for him again. I am disgusted with many ReFLUBicans because many of them are RINOs. I am disgusted with the DemonCRATS because many are socialists.
So the average American does not have much of a choice these days.
And I agree with somehistory about many politicians; their goal is to fill their pockets with $ from side deals and secret meetings.
Lastly, I bought Robert Spencer’s book: “Rating America’s Presidents” and it is
excellent. Thank you, Mr. Spencer! Referencing each president’s adherence to the US Constitution was a great baseline for giving the rating. I am happy to state here that Trump got a “10” out of “10” score as did 3 other presidents. But you should buy and read this book to learn more about this subject. You will be surprised at how various presidents got the media to go all out for them even though their actions did not warrant it. 😜

I too bought & read this book. It’s a somewhat disruptive way of learning American history, since generally in history, we learn about a series of events around something, be it the Indian wars, the abolitionist movement, the Louisiana Purchase, the Mexican War, the Spanish-American war and so on. Here, since we were going president by president, there were bits & pieces of everything depending on what the president in question covered in any term

I don’t think I can get over these two things that Trump did…
Trump hosts first iftar dinner, recognizes Islam as ‘one of the world’s great religions’
(Jun 2018)

and I’ll NEVER stop being furious over THIS little valentine, butt kissin’ speech, to a “man” that is a “supposed leader” of Nigeria. Hundreds of Christians (if not thousands), are MURDERED horrendously, EVERY YEAR, and it goes way back in years, and this individual REFUSES to do ANYTHING about it, and just lets it go on and on….and STILL to this day, it continues!
Oh, but the sweet things, that Trump said to him, in this speech to him? Almost makes me literally SICK!! Just count how many times, Trump compliments him, and says how many BILLIONS of dollars he gives them, and how much they do together in business, and how much they will do in the future, and blah blah blah….I’m surprised they didn’t kiss, but just shook hands.
I’m seriously not going to be happy, when I vote for him, after all the things I archived on him, while he was president. But there is no one else, that can take over, what VERY IMPORTANT job he started (but had to leave office, before it was finished), and now HAS TO come back, and complete it. It wouldn’t be the first time, God has used sinners, to do His will…
Hurry up 2024!!
Remarks by President Trump and President Buhari of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Joint Press Conference

Not true, as one would expect from MSNBC. Trump cancelled iftar dinners totally: he never hosted it for muslim Americans. Contrast that w/ him hosting Diwali functions, not just at the White House but at Mar a Lago as well, as well as Hanukkah celebrations. The dinner you cited was a diplomatic hosting of Arab leaders that he was trying to win over for the Abraham Accords, as they came to pass. Not the same as trying to pander to muslim thugs within the US
Yeah, I would like his foreign policy to be tougher on Nigeria
