DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

On the day that Donald Trump descended the escalator at Trump Tower on June 16, 2015, approximately four hundred days ago, I don't think that there was a serious pundit on Earth that thought that he would be formally accepting the nomination for President of the United States at the Republican National Convention. This tells us that sometimes it pays not to pay too much attention to the all-knowing wizards of TV, Radio and Print Media.  It was these same pundits who eight years ago, when Hillary Clinton lost the nomination to Barack Obama breathlessly explained that her time had passed and she would never again be a force in politics. (Question: Are these all the same type of geniuses who warn us about global warming destroying the planet in the year 2525? Answer: Yes)

A man I greatly admire, Dennis Prager, has said countless times that Donald Trump was his 17th choice in the primaries - but now that he is the nominee, Trump is his first choice. Things were not so difficult for me, Trump was my 13th choice, so I guess it has been somewhat easier for me to pivot and support his candidacy.


The 'Left' is destroying America. It is as simple as that. Donald Trump has held many dubious beliefs in the past. (In fact, he holds a few dubious beliefs now.) If he were to become President, there would be the hope that perhaps he could surprise us and somehow do some great things to right the ship we call America. If his opponent should prevail, we are doomed. If Trump's opponent should win, the Supreme Court is definitely doomed. If Trump's opponent should win, there will be no hope, but there will be change - and it won't be good. Here is something 'fun' to do... Find someone who supports HRC and ask them what her biggest political accomplishments have been. This question stumps all Hillary's supporters every time. The question stumps Hillary too. Donald Trump actually has an answer to this question. He reminds us that Hillary's biggest accomplishment was skating away from prosecution for her unauthorized personal server as Secretary of State, the mismanagement of the classified emails, and lying about it.  I agree with him on this one - Avoiding prosecution was a quite an amazing accomplishment.


Donald Trump gave his acceptance speech last night. I admit that I was underwhelmed by his speech. I had fantasized about a speech with soaring rhetoric that would have energized America. Maybe his speech hit the spot with other Americans. I hope so. It did not for me. Nevertheless, when I cast my ballot on November 8th, I will be voting for Donald J. Trump for President of the United States of America.

It felt like I took a day off from hiking on Wednesday.  I 'only' took a 10 mile hike around the Cincinnati neighborhood. I started at my hotel, and when I returned to my hotel, I had logged 10 miles.
