...show them Mt. Trumpmore.
Obviously that's a trick question; if you're smart, you don't have any liberal friends.
By definition, a <friend> is someone you can trust and who's on your side, not the enemy's; that clearly rules out democrats.
But you can still enjoy watching them lose what's left of their TDS riddled minds.
And to drive the final nail in their ideological coffin, explain to them why this is not only reasonable but bound to happen:
Sculptor Gutzon Borglum chose each president on Mt. Rushmore to represent an important aspect of America the Beautiful and because each was a transcendent figure in their time.
Washington - represents the foundation of our great country; he was our first President and the military leader of our victorious Revolutionary Army that defeated the world's biggest empire.
Jefferson - stands for the expansion of the United States of America. Besides being the key author of our founding documents, he approved the Louisiana purchase, which doubled our size.
Roosevelt - presided over the development of our nation. He was responsible for the Panama Canal, trust busting the huge monopolies that were killing the working class, and the creation of many of our greatest national parks.
Lincoln - stood in the breach and spearheaded the preservation of the Union. He freed the slaves and readmitted the secessionist states, saving government of the people, by the people, for the people.
Why will President Trump be included?
Trump - engineered the restoration of our constitutional republic. He has singlehandedly restored the power to "we the people". After years of our leaders intentionally governing against the will of the electorate, Trump is reestablishing the foundational concepts enumerated in our Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
"That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."
Finally, we the people are being heard again, and our government is wielding its just power with our consent, not against it.
Do you doubt that?
Consider:
Over the past 4 years, did you petition the government for runaway inflation? The gutting of our energy sector which created higher prices at the pump?
Did you ask for tens of millions of illegal aliens to stream across our borders unvetted?
Did you request the government to mandate what kind of car you can drive? What kind of appliance you can use in your kitchen?
Did you approve of using lawfare against political opponents? Of jailing people of faith for praying outside abortion clinics; and depriving parents of their rights to know what their children are being taught?
Did you give your ok for men to compete against your daughters in sports? For those men to watch your daughters undress and shower with them in their locker rooms?
We could go on and on, but if you answered "yes" to any of the above, seek professional help immediately; you're a danger to yourself and others.
For the vast majority of normal people, the answer to all of that is a resounding, "No, I did not!"
Yet all of that was forced upon us by the corrupt, agenda driven democrats.
They seized the reins of government, thrusting a dementia patient into the presidency, shackled to a vacuous pantsuit for VP.
The only reason all of those issues and more are being corrected today is because of President Trump.
Liberal elites and their corrupt accomplices (read: legacy media) can't stand this erosion of their previously unchecked power, as it's being yanked from their grasping claws and returned to its rightful owners:
Us.
A word to the wise: plan ahead!
Get on the waiting list now to visit Mt. Trumpmore.
Normally don't do a Monday edition of the AMC, but with the holiday weekend in the rearview, I thought it appropriate to recap.
We employed some holiday decor...
 |
| red/white/blue bunting around the pool |
 |
| a repeat, but I really like our 1776 / We The People flag, so take that. |
 |
| Karen bought those red/white/blue rope lights in 2020 to celebrate Trump's re-election but fate intervened. 5 years later they're lighting up July 4th. |
 |
| firecrackers, check; watermelon, check. should've included a baseball in there, or maybe a golf ball; and it's too early for apple pie, so blueberry it is. |
...and we enjoyed visiting with #5 son and his wife...
Last day of their vacation with us...hope that's not why they're smiling so broadly in that pic...
And since you insist, how can I refuse?
Here's the HGU:
Played pretty well this week and snagged a win: 4 bogeys, a birdie and a par; against 3 double bogeys...6 wins against 3 losses.
(For those of you who care about such things, actual score was 4 and 3; after the 6th hole I was up 4 with only 3 left to play.)
 |
| that's where my 2nd shot landed on the par 4 #6. a 3 putt bogey was not out of the question, but thankfully I found the back of the cup in one stroke for my first birdie of the season. |
The par was on my way out on the par 3 #9, and in the traditional manner: on the green in 1, 2 putt for par.
Nice way to end the round, especially since both #7 and #8 were potential pars I managed to foozle into double bogeys with truly talentless shots around the green.
But I hit pretty well from the tees and fairways, no lost balls, short game still a problem but putting a little better.
And this week I did something a bit different...
...used 2 of my pre-1900 woods (long spoon and brassie) along with my putter; and paired them with my 1920's mashie and niblick.
Since it was technically 1920's style hickory golf due to the irons, I carried them in my golf bag.

| he uses low compression Titleist Tru-Soft golf balls and gives them that mesh pattern |
I do believe those Titleist TruSofts give me a little more distance, as I was longer off the tee and from the fairways today.
Hey, I was going to spare you the minutia, but you did ask, so...
Regardless, it was a little exercise, a little solitude and a very pleasant stroll through the countryside this morning.
Enough already! Let's 23 Skidoo, abbreviated version:
