Someone once told me something about Bruce Springsteen that never left me, probably because it was so opposite from my personality.  They said he won’t ever speak badly of himself.  Even when he does a performance that’s not his best, he’ll say something like ‘Ok I think I did pretty good there’.  He may end the session after hearing it, but he won’t say ‘I fucking suck today let’s stop’.  Yeah that would have been me.

But I’ve changed.  We need to be our own best friends.  Our own mothers, fathers, big brothers.  The support system of relying on friends and family is too shaky.  People that see you win are often more envious than happy for you.  We need to be first in line to give ourselves a pat on the back.

I recently wrote about how I learned something significant from Donald Trump and his ‘just drink some bleach’ slip.  Now here’s another lesson we could learn from him.  The man is and always has been his own support system.  

Love him or hate him, I can’t think of another soul on earth who could withstand the enormous amount of pressure, hate filled venom, lies and abuse he’s taken from mainstream media.  Most of us would crumble from an organized smear campaign on Facebook or X alone.  Imagine every single cable and mainstream news channel, every radio station, every website, most of Washington DC!  Add to this the assassination attempts, slurs on his family members.

Yet he’s been stoic, and then he wins.  Whether or not he wins this election, he’s already won the hearts of most hard working Americans because they realize he’s funny and decent and would like Americans to win too, unlike a guy like Biden who speaks of decency while he insults half the country as ‘garbage’… while the press hides his daughter’s diary of inappropriate actions from him …ahem… in the shower??  and of course there’s good ol’ Hunter.  If you haven’t seen his hotel photos and notes of extortion with % going to “the big guy” it’s out there.

Suffice to say DJT has he’s taken more arrows than a normal person could by 1001 X.

His secret?  I think it has something to do with the Springsteen model.  He won’t say a bad word about himself.

So while he’s up there free-wheeling like ‘We had a tremendous crowd, it was the best and biggest crowd you wouldn’t believe how big’… etc. etc… And while the world is snorting and criticizing and calling him the devil, he’s busy being his own support system.  He doesn’t need the sheep, the cucks like Don Lemon or Lawrence O’donnell.  Is this not Uge?

In the words of  Judge Reinhold 1981, in Fast Times At Ridgemont High: “Learn it, Know it, Live it”.

#24 Michael Barclay! – Michael if you’re a friend on FB please message me your address so we can mail out the poster and CD.  If not I’ll have someone reach out to you via your email.

To all, that was awesome!  It’s something you can’t really discuss on FB for obvious reasons.  Some love, some hate, and others ridicule and act like they know something you don’t when we’re all really just a bunch of monkeys.  I’m a curious person by nature, and that was a breath of fresh air.

Thanks to all who contributed.  Thanks to all for subscribing and checking in.  Congrats Michael!  Until next time-

Name your sources of world information, or if you’ve moved on from that, what actual video or article awakened you to a different view?  I can tell you mine was Aaron Russo, being interviewed by Alex Jones, whom I had never heard of in 2008.  Aaron was Bette Midler’s manager and a brilliant and honest guy who wanted the best for our country.  He died of cancer, but left us some eye-opening information that literally changed my perception of life in America and even planet earth.  The full interview is on YouTube still, if you’re interested.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a crazy like me, or get your news from cable or mainstream.  Answer here and you’ll qualify for a spin to win this generically signed 36X24 poster from 1992 and an autographed EP of “In Plain Sight”, which ultimately led to the album Coup De Main. (coming in vinyl this year)

In the coming weeks I’ll describe what some of those songs are about, which is on topic with this thread.

Lastly, no judgment on anything you say, no rights or wrongs… just interested to hear how and where people are.

Cheers, Jude
