He's already been the most effective President Elect in history.

We need to have a running list of all the companies that are coming here and investing or hiring more people.

Also a pledged dollar amount.

Obama has had 8 YEARS and Pres Trump just came in and has companies lining up to take advantage of his economic plan.

It's amazing.

He's already been amazingly effective, without even taking office. Still, he must watch his back from treacherous GOP cucks and dems that would rather have him fail than the country be successful. His biggest threat will be advisors with their own agendas, especially war hawks. Trump needs to run a tight ship, the media will cut him no slack. He'll have to continue to do end runs around them to get his message out to the American people.

He does unfortunately have to work with cuckservatives but after the dressing down he gave Romney and the little snipe he did to Paul Ryan right in Ryan's own state telling him to stay in line I'm feeling fairly confident that GOP cucks can be kept locked down. As long as he has Stephen Miller, Bannon, and Sessions in his inner circle I think we can rest assured.

Not only is President Donald J. Trump a winner, obviously -- but it seems he produces a winning side effect for those around him as well (those exposed to his "darshan" -- see above post for details Laugh)

' Wrote:Jackie Evanch-who?

Jackie Evancho — the virtually unknown 16-year-old singer slated to perform at Donald Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20 — is laughing all the way to the bank as her recent album sales have skyrocketed since her performance was announced.

Trump detractors attacked the teenage classical singer earlier this month for agreeing to perform at the event, noting that it would ruin her career.

However, it has done quite the opposite.


Evancho's weekly album sales have quadrupled for both digital downloads and with retailers, according to TMZ.

And her album "Someday at Christmas" reportedly had to be restocked twice in local stores, TMZ reported.

Even the soprano's Billboard spot has jumped significantly.

Evancho's "Dream With Me" album and her "O Holy Night" EP are both at No. 2 on the Billboard charts — which is the highest spot they've ever held.

She's also the youngest solo artist to ever go platinum.

The "America's Got Talent" breakout star will be singing the "The Star Spangled Banner" at next month's presidential ceremony.

"I'm so excited," Evancho said on "Today" about the event. "It's going to be awesome."

Quote:Trumps attend church services on Christmas Eve

By Associated Press
Published: 25 December 2016

Donald Trump is kicking off Christmas by attending midnight services at an Episcopal church in Palm Beach, Florida. The president-elect and his wife, Melania, arrived Saturday night at the Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea. The soon-to-be first couple were married at the church in 2005. Trump has bemoaned the increased use of the term "Happy Holidays" in place of "Merry Christmas" as a sign that Christianity is under attack. As president, he's said, he'll reverse the trend. The president-elect is spending the holidays at his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, where he's been holding meetings with senior staff, advisers and business executives.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/arti...ation.html






President Trump's position on Christmas and Christianity is very clear:









I'm happy to report I've been told "Merry Christmas" more times this year than I have in probably the last eight years combined. No bullshit. Anyone else been having similar experiences?

The president is not only a political figure, is also a cultural figure, this is the cultural war we must continue fighting.

During Reagan presidency we had an explosion of iconic actions high T heroes:

[Image: 2tE5wrJ.jpg]

As well as lots of boys adventures movies like Stand by Me.

And lots and lots of family sitcoms like Family Ties.

Obama is in fact responsible for the rise of SJWs. People like Milo knows how to fight cultural wars, SJWs and liberals know about the cultural war, they know Trump will bring change not just economically but also culturally, their world is going to fall, Trump and his campaign were able to bring huge part of their world down.

Just wait until he takes office.

Just subscribed to her YouTube channel. The leftists and haters were trying to organize a boycott against this young woman due to her singing at the inauguration. Lets give her the opposite effect. The more these people try to censor and boycott, the more we must due to ensure they won't be successful.

Quote:Why Don't Celebrities--Like Katy Perry--Want People to Make Eye Contact? Darshan

by Gretchen Rubin, Contributor

Over the weekend, I was intrigued to see this story in the New York Post: "The ultimate star perk is forbidding eye contact." According to the Smoking Gun, singer Katy Perry’s contract covering her driver provides that the driver isn’t supposed to “stair” (sic) at her in the rear-view mirror.

The piece notes that there have been many similar rumors over the years — that people were prohibited from making eye contact with Luke Perry, Tori Spelling, Sylvester Stallone, and others.

When I read this story, I had a huge rush of intellectual pleasure. Because I think I've figured this out! Darshan.

Years ago, when I was doing the research for my first book, Power Money Fame Sex: A User's Guide, I was struck by how often celebrities made rules about eye contact. Why would they do that? Then I learned about darshan, the Sanskrit term meaning “sight” or “auspicious viewing.” Darshan is the beneficial glow that comes from being in the presence of a great spiritual leader (or holy place or object). Merely looking at such a person – and even better, receiving his or her glance – bestows a blessing. In Vikram Chandra’s terrific novel set in India, Sacred Games, people also sought darshan of a rich and famous mobster.

So when people follow Woody Allen down the street for blocks, or stand outside in the freezing cold to see Barack Obama speak in person instead of watching him on TV, it’s because they want darshan.

I myself don’t have much feeling for darshan, but it’s obvious how eagerly many people seek it out. I clerked for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, and I can testify that a Supreme Court Justice has some mighty darshan. Justices are treated with great deference and respect, but by contrast, TV and movie stars – especially those considered very friendly and accessible – can be overwhelmed by people’s desire for darshan.

Perhaps, if you’re a saint or guru, you aren’t depleted by the act of making eye contact, and some celebrities, politicians, and other prominent people definitely seem to feed off of people’s attention and gaze. But this transfer may explain why some powerful or famous people try to prevent others from make eye contact. The people seeking darshan drain them of their energy.

Have you felt this, yourself? Even in my own, non-celebrity life, I sometimes feel that making eye contact with a person can give a jolt of energy, or more often, drain some energy away. When I’m feeling low, I sometimes struggle with the effort to make eye contact and say hello to an acquaintance on the street.

Darshan and Katy Perry. It makes me so happy to feel that I’ve figured out some particular quirk of human nature. The sense of intellectual satisfaction is so gratifying -- in fact, I suppose, I've organized my entire working life around the search for these moments.

Even though the writer's style seems like it's more fitting for Teen Vogue than Forbes, I thought the concept of "darshan" was interesting. Although it certainly doesn't excuse celebrities being pricks about eye contact, it at least provides some explanation behind why they get upset about it. With all we've learned in 2016 about what the powerful people in politics and show business believe, is it such a stretch to think the same kind of crowd that's into #spiritcooking would also be into darshan?



I think it's the opposite way around.
The "power" of these politicians and celebrities is all an illusion and inside most of them are truly weak. They have no real strength and are constantly afraid of making eye contact with commoners who are stronger in spirit than them. For a commoner to stare a "powerful" person in the eye and make them look away or down reveals them for the weak cowards & frauds they truly are.

Obama is notorious not being able to hold eye contact with anyone for very long whether it's a another politician or a reporter asking him simple questions. Here is a video when he met Putin back in 2009. Kept looking on the ground and away while speaking to him.







Now here is Trump in early November 2016, in the last days of campaigning before the election, staring down the guy that supposedly had a gun all the way until he was dragged off stage.

Just listing to her rendition Matrixdude posted above. With my high-quality studio headphones it literally sends chills down my spine. This is why leftists hate her. It isn't even just about Trump. They hate that she represents beauty, order and goodness and is unapologetic about singing classics like Ave Maria, God Bless America, etc. Supporting her and other quality artists is a battle we can win in this larger culture and spiritual war we are engaged in. Listen to her Ave Maria. You will know that such beauty is what we are fighting for, as much as any policy that Trump will propose in the coming years. I'm glad the leftists made a stink about this young lady, otherwise I would haven't discovered her. Thanks SJW's!

Edit: Just listen to this girl!

She does have talent and a beautiful voice but she's hardly a great artist. At this point she's just another product of the America's Got Talent factory.

By comparison, Kennedy at his inauguration had Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, performers whose musical output is still revered many decades later. Later, they brought the finest in classical music and art to the White House. Class. Trump's tastes, on the other hand, run towards prole/kitch, as you can see from the way his NYC apartment is decorated. I'm okay with that. That's what you expect from a populist. I didn't vote for Chief Interior Decorator.

Delgado hopefully gets axed from the Trump administration over this, what a betrayal. She seems like a jilted lover, either Miller broke it off with Delgado as his side piece or maybe she was jealous he was seeing some other woman. Maybe she is resentful she didn't get tapped for a major role in the admin, who knows. She Went from a random contributor on Hannity to Trumps #1 Cuban surrogate. And she really enjoyed the limelight, I saw many pictures of her partying it up during the campaign, 35 year old Harvard Law grad taking sloppy selfies on the trail.

People have to calm down, this girl is not an established artist, the entertainment industry was in the tank for Hillary, is not surprised well known names were refusing to play at Trump's inauguration, this girl is more popular now than before thanks to Trump.

Look at the chaos Kanye West was put through just days after saying he would have voted for Trump, he was literally put int a mental hospital.

If you think great well known singers will come and play to Trump's inauguration, you will wait long time. The backlash is too high and severe, Kanye West had some of his concerts cancelled after what he said.

This is not the 60s anymore.

Yes, this is a great post. Trump has a nose for talent and doesn't worship people based upon reputation, but results. This girl delivers. Why should Trump give established media types any play?

Just wait until he takes office.

The 80s music and movies make me wish I had come of age then. Fuck I get a hard on for that upbeat, coke fueled, can do, I'ma boogie on my way to work nostalgic music.

That culture would take the current culture and stuff it in a locker until it learned how to do the "Right Stuff" Shimmy.

Do you notice how everything then, no matter the subject, still had a touch of class no matter how subtle?

Consider, 16 candles vs. Project X. Yes, the love stories are inverted but it really revolves around high school debauchery. 16 candles is good natured with Long Duck Dong turning up drunk on the lawn. Project X is just extreme, some guy kills himself with a flamethrower.

Consider Risky Business vs Spring Breakers (both premises are based on young, sexually stifled teens unshackling themselves so humor me here). Risky Business leaves you in fits and you even half way like Lana. Spring Breakers is just an absolute piece of garbage that leaves you feeling hollow and never wanting your family members to go to Florida.

Go watch Point Break (original) vs. Point Break (2016 remake). When a movie leaves you longing for the Keanu Reeves version, we got problems.

Whats the key difference? The aforementioned are laudable, aspirational in their own ways. Most of the characters are people you'd invite into your home. The current movies are just extreme. Solely focused on cheap degeneracy. No character development. Tits, Ass, and X Games mentalities. Nothing else, nothing more.

Its a Museum of Nihilism.

I've been in the halls where some of these stars find their breaks. Let me tell you this, they are broken, repulsive people. 99% of them are freaks.

As hard as Hollywood wants to try, the freaks never stick. You have to push the edge further and further for eyeballs. It never works. Zero charisma.

People turn to entertainment to be distracted from their day to day. To be uplifted. Inspired. Fun little fantasy. This is human nature.

A smart man could open his own film studio right now and use all non SAG cast and crew, develop a humane script, and rake in the cash. Like hundreds of millions if you can manage the theater distribution.

The shift is palpable. Not everywhere but in many places, the dam is breaking. If you act like an aspirational human, your magnetism will know no bounds. If you create art about aspirational, real, raw humanity, your brand will enjoy quite some fanfare. (This is why President Trump can say whatever he wants. Because he has an unshakeable humanity to him and when he says something off putting its 1. Honest 2. imperfect 3. Hardly acknowledged because hes already back to weaving his gaffe into his well intentioned message)

If you listen to his speeches from Nov 7th, towards the end, hes closing and building the emotional anchors. His knock out punch is " And, I will, never, ever, ever give up on you or let you down" which is said with the warmth of a dad picking up his child who just fell off the bike for the first time. You can't fake it.

MAGAWood is about to supplant Hollywood.

****And on the topic of Jackie Evancho, she is no star, that is true. But she IS far more TALENTED than many perennial billboard top 40 artists. Good for her and I hope her career takes off because of this.

Yes, a mistake some people on the right do is hope established celebrities will support them.

Is time for a new strategy , what if we start building our own established celebrities?

We wont see anybody new coming in support of Trump besides the people like Jon Voight.

This girl Jackie Evancho is young, it does not mean we have to listen to whatever she sings, but if you find something you like buy it or share it on social media, we have to fight the cultural war with what we have.

Well they have dropped from 36th in the USA to the 45th. But they are holding steady now. It's not a error anymore, it would have been fixed by now.

They are more popular in the states then huffingtonpost, washingtonpost and foxnews,

I understand the purist argument, and on some level I agree with it. Still, many famous composers and musicians have borrowed and modified music throughout the ages. If they started to add electric guitar with her vocals..., yea, I'd say that would totally destroy it. While her rendition is a modification, I still find it reverent and peaceful, unlike some ridiculous renditions I've heard of our national anthem getting butchered.
