President's ‘dark' speech a ray of light for millions
2017-01-22
[Boston Herald] WASHINGTON -- The inaugural speech was "dark" -- that’s the storyline among the Democrats and their allies in the Fake News industry. It was "radical," "Hitlerian," or maybe Mussolini-ian -- or both, according to Comrade Chris Matthews.

But mostly it was dark. What else could it have been? If it was all sweetness and light in America, how far would Donald J. Trump have gotten in his campaign?

He had half as much money as the kleptocracy’s handpicked candidate. The alt-left media’s coverage of him was 90 percent negative, when they weren’t just making up fake news pure and simple.

Because the country was in a dark, dark place. It’s always darkest before the dawn. Yesterday was the dawn.

Trump said "America first." Twice! Hillary Clinton was giving him the evil eye. I hadn’t seen her this angry since maybe 10 minutes earlier, when she caught her "husband" staring at Melania Trump, or maybe it was Ivanka Trump, or maybe it was both.

Brevity truly is the soul of wit, and even more so, great speeches. Barack Obama couldn’t even finish clearing his throat in 14 minutes. But Trump hit all the right notes. And he only said "I" three times.

#9  I suspect, as in many, a contributor to the confusion may be the new DNS stable HTTPS: protocol. Thank you ICANNt. Notice the browser URL banner changes to SECURE HTTPS: when you are rerouted to Google.

Interesting, this image keep going to Google.com

Blossom Unains5562 URL appears to be fine.

I tried uploading the image, but apparently I have to wait before it will show up to be selected.

A possible bug in the software? I posted the URL (at top) so others can see for themselves.

#3  "Dark" is the new libtard mantra. Delete it from any comments or news articles for the next few weeks and they'll come up empty.

#1  I thought the speech was blunt, clear, and gave no hope whatsoever to anyone who thought that Trump was just woofing during the campaign. We're just so used to hearing nuanced double-talk that the speech had a surprising quality to it.

And I thought Trump very clearly defined his role as he sees it: he is an American president, not a citizen of the world who's going to stop the seas from rising. After the last eight years the idea of the president of America actively promoting American interests is truly shocking.

To me the key thing is the growth rate. If a year from now the GDP is growing at a no-bullshit 4% clip -- which is a really tall order from where we are now-- the deficit starts to shrink, the country looks more economically stable, and foreign investors are lining up to take a number.
