The Electoral College and the popular vote

If you're still complaining that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote (I must have heard it 5 times watching broadcast TV yesterday), keep in mind, this is the second time she won the popular vote and lost the election. In 2008, she won the popular vote in the Democrat primaries--I don't know how to figure the percentage, but it was greater than in 2016. But as with the Electoral College which lets the states speak, she didn't win the right number of primaries. That said, I admire her for showing up yesterday. Classier than the Democrats who put on the pout and stayed home. Now more Democrats/Progressives/Anarchists/ and all around poor sports who didn't vote are descending on DC.  In some cities there have been some serious injuries.  In DC, cars were set on fire, trash was burned, police were spit on, and head bashed in.

Prayer at the inauguration

"I am so ecstatic that my President made his inauguration virtually a prayer meeting! Trump transitioned into his Presidency asking 10 million people to bow their heads and petition our One True God for help. His VP opened the Bible to 1 Chronicles 7:14 to be sworn into office: "if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

I am so proud to be an American! God, bring revival to our nation!"

I haven't crunched the numbers

But this sounds about right.  Obama was notorious for self-reference.  Trump's speech was called Hitlerian by one of the pouty MSM talking heads, the guy with a thrill up his leg I think. Who knew "We the American people" was such a terrorizing phrase. I tried all the channels today--NBC, CBS, ABC and PBS.  Shameful.  I thought they would weep.  If they gave the Trumps one minute, they'd follow it up with about three for the Obamas, and then go back and lovingly stroke their memories from 2009.  The leftward media seems to believe that Trump will expand presidential power even more than Obama did--like this past week for example.

Anarchists and Marxists have come together to protest in major cities

 Many of the organizations backing the anti-inauguration events are "worker this or that," "globalist so and so" and "people unite for blah blah." Their names/titles are pretty clear. They only laid low because Obama was black, but they've been working over time behind the scenes for years. Communism under any name is still that, statism/socialism, the problem is today's young adults weren't even born when the USSR collapsed, and that's when American Communists took over the movement.

I wish the demonstrations and terrorist acts were just bad sport, toddler tantrums, but they aren't. These are goon level, 1917 Russia food riots, but no one demonstrating is poor, or suffering or losing in WWI. Marxism has that sort of energy--what it says it is about (racism, sexism, homophobia in 21st century Europe or America) it isn't, no matter the country or era. It's not workers' rights; it's not about larger apartments or better food. It's not about health.  It's all about power to the state and the leaders' skill to drag the little guy in.

The Trump demonstrations

Chicago was an appropriate locale for Obama's farewell address. "It’s a violent, one-party city that is collapsing under the weight of its own corruption." (Moses Lambert) And DC is an appropriate place for the Democrats to gather for a march--whether blue church ladies from shrinking urban churches, or chubby boomer nurses and librarians in "pussy" bonnets, or screaming feminists against the unborn--to participate in a Soros funded event against Trump, threaten violence and disruption and party like it's the 1960s. It's the Democrat way.
