What Now?

                There is a new President in the White House making good on his campaign promises as fast as he can. Yet, the lame stream media cannot find anything good to publish about him. They started on the day of his inauguration and most likely will continue until his last day in office. They, along with many other liberal progressives, do not want Donald Trump to succeed.

                The first example is the publishing of a picture of the crowd attending the inauguration of Barack Obama compared to a picture of the crowd attending the inauguration of Donald Trump. The first pictures showed a huge difference in the numbers attending the different inaugurations. Some photographs discovered later seem to show approximately the same numbers.

                My question is what does it matter? Who cares how many people went to Washington, D.C., to see a President inaugurated. I personally did not even consider buying an airline ticket and investing a week of my time to fly to the nation’s capital city. In fact, I did not wake up early enough to watch the inauguration on television. It simply did not matter that much to me personally.

                What does matter to me is the fact that the power and authority of the President of the United States moved peacefully from President Obama to President Trump. There were no tanks rumbling in the streets. There were no soldiers firing shots. It was a peaceful change from one administration to another.

                Another thing that matters to me is how this President fulfills his oath of office. Will he honor the position of President of the United States, or will he go around apologizing for our nation? Will he preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States, or will he constantly complain about how the Constitution keeps him from accomplishing what he wants to do to our country? Will he do what is best for Americans, or will he constantly press his own agenda?

                I will not judge President Trump on the size of his inauguration crowd. In fact, I will reserve my judgment for now and wait to see what he actually does in office. If he keeps his promises and makes America great again, I will celebrate with him. If he does not, I will think deeply about whether or not I want to support him again.

                I will say that I did watch parts of the inauguration later in the day and heard President Trump’s inauguration speech. I thought it was very patriotic and what Americans have been waiting to hear for too many years. Finally, we have President who loves America! Finally, we have a President who can say “radical Islamist terrorists!”

                Glenn Beck has some interesting thoughts on this topic at this site. 

What Now?

                Super Tuesday 3 is over.  Donald Trump won some more states.  John Kasich won Ohio and declared he would remain in the race.  Marco Rubio lost Florida and suspended his campaign.  Ted Cruz won a few more delegates.  The GOP leaders are talking about supporting Cruz but are demanding Cruz apologize to Senate Leader Mitch McConnell for calling him a liar last year.

                Most people can see that there is now a two man race to be the GOP nominee.  There is no way that Kasich can win enough delegates to be the nominee.  Maybe he is hanging around with the hope that Trump will invite him to be Vice President.  Maybe he thinks he will gain the nomination at the GOP Convention in July.  Maybe he thinks pigs can fly.  At any rate, I think he is delusional!

                Republicans need to make their decision as to who they will support – Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.  Anyone that does not want Donald Trump to be the next President of the United States better start supporting Cruz.  This is not the time for moral-minded, principled believers to sit out an election.  I suggest that we all make it a matter of prayer and vote our conscience. 

                Our nation stands at another crossroads.  We can continue down the road we have traveled for the last eight years or we can change directions.   If we do not like the direction we are heading, then we better take action to change the direction.  If we decide to change directions, we better choose a leader that has good principles and morals and can lead us to a better situation.    I believe that person is Ted Cruz.  I hope you do also.
