Trump Humiliates the Democrats
And Other Short Takes on the News
There is no question that Trump won the media narrative yesterday when he visited the wake for fallen police officer Jonathan Diller. With one visit he highlighted the failures of the Democrats and their Defund the Police policies, along with rising crime in New York. Meanwhile, in the other America, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama appeared alongside Joe Biden for a $26 million fundraiser.
A user on TikTok summed it up dramatically:
Protesters disrupted the Party
Anger at the Lee Greenwood Bible
Trump endorsed a Lee Greenwood Bible, which is the least he could do, considering he uses Greenwood’s song, God Bless the USA, to open his rallies. This has caused much upset and rage on the Left and among the Never Trumpers. Because, of course, it has. There isn’t a thing Trump could say, not a step he could take, not a move he could make that they would not throw a fit over. It never ends.
What would they ever talk about if they didn’t have Trump to complain about?
Here is Andrew Sullivan’s take, which is what they’re all saying, more or less.
The way I see it is that they’ve taken everything away from MAGA. They’ve persecuted Trump for eight years. They even robbed them of their own right to enjoy Trump’s four years in the presidency. It was non-stop attacks. You are not allowed in our country, is always the message. What’s the one thing they can’t take away? Their faith. Are they still trying? You bet.
They’re BIG MAD:
I’m tempted to buy this Bible myself as a keepsake of history, just like I was tempted to buy his gold sneakers. I did buy Our Journey Together because I know it will be an important piece of this moment we’re living through. The President of the United States had to self-publish a book celebrating his presidency because no one else would have done it. THAT is history.
I thought about buying the Lee Greenwood Bible for the same reason. Not knowing exactly where to click, I went to the Almighty Google Oracle and typed in “Trump bible.” Boy, was that a mistake. It was like the scene in Poltergeist when JoBeth Williams attempts opens the closet door.
You can find the right link if you search: God Bless the USA Bible. It’s on Lee Greenwood’s site.
As you can see if you click the link, the Bible has been endorsed by Trump. Was that the story anyone in the media bothered to tell? No, they sold it like “Trump is selling Bibles to pay his legal fees.” He is not profiting off of it, as far as I can tell. If I’m wrong, let me know.
It’s also been endorsed by plenty of other people.
Democrats remain as out of touch as ever:

Ordinary Angels hits theaters and streaming
Hollywood is starting to realize, after the success of Sound of Freedom, that they are leaving money on the table by pandering to the Woketopians. Now, we’re starting to see hints here and there that they might want to offer movies for, oh, I don’t know, the MAJORITY?
Ordinary Angels opened last month but I was busy with other things to notice. I haven’t seen it. I might watch it and offer up a review. I don’t think it’s in theaters but you can watch it on Amazon Prime or Apple-TV.
The critics tried to review it but it isn’t really in their wheelhouse. You can probably trust the audience score more.
Here is the trailer:
Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s not. If you do watch it, come on back and tell us about it.
So far, Ordinary Angels has made $18 million, which isn’t bad for a movie like this, but doesn’t have the support Sound of Freedom had, with Conservative podcasts and news sites.
Martin Scorsese makes a series for Fox Nation
The media was forced to report on it. At least, at first, they seem to be behaving themselves.
That’s quite a get for Fox News, and it shows Hollywood might be softening a bit to the Right (as long as Trump isn’t involved, that is). From NY Daily News:
In partnership with Fox Nation, each episode of “Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints” will profile a different saint, from Joan of Arc to John the Baptist to Mary Magdalene.
The series will examine the “extraordinary figures and their extreme acts of kindness, selflessness, and sacrifice,” Fox News said in a media release Wednesday. It will drop in two four-part premieres, the first half released Nov. 16 and the second concluding in May 2025.
“I’ve lived with the stories of the saints for most of my life, thinking about their words and actions, imagining the worlds they inhabited, the choices they faced, the examples they set,” Scorsese said in the statement. “These are stories of eight very different men and women, each of them living through vastly different periods of history and struggling to follow the way of love revealed to them and to us by Jesus’ words in the gospels.”
Tucker talks to Mike Rowe (at least for 11 minutes).

Good Friday from Father Mike
I am not religious, as most of you know. I do listen on occasion to Father Mike. I wanted to post something about Good Friday, of which I know almost nothing. I found this:
That’s all I have for today. I hope to get my “what happened to you” post up by the weekend. I know I keep promising but this time I think I really will deliver.
Hope you enjoy your Easter weekend.
The nice part is that the Diller family invited Trump, and of course he went. RIP Sgt Diller.
Interesting that these people are suddenly so concerned about treating the Bible with respect.
