Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys

Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

No Mao ornament. LMAO. What a difference an election makes.
I’ve been dreaming of a white Christmas.
TGTW – Thank God Trump Won
The Trump family brings dignity and grace back to the White House. The most recent occupants, unable to spell the word ‘class,’ turned it into a combination McDonalds and whorehouse.
A beautiful display – I hope this makes for a long and happy memory.
It is wonderful to have a real lady in the White House again.
What lovely decorations! Precursors of the Mao ornament on the Obama tree, some very unique ornaments were included, lest we forget, by Hillary Clinton on the Blue Room tree. Here, Salon debunks that “conspiracy theory.”
https://www.salon.com/2016/10/24/the-clinton-bs-files-hillary-didnt-decorate-the-white-house-christmas-tree-with-condoms-and-syringes/
The most telling lines in the article are these:
“But expect there to be some kind of Christmas tree-related controversy to be ginned up in 2017, when the Clintons are once again tasked with decorating the Blue Room Christmas tree — presumably with Bill instead of Hillary at the helm this time”
and
“Rudolph only knows what they’ll come up with when Santa comes for a second Clinton administration.”
I guess Santa really does know who’s been naughty and who’s been nice. Thank you, Santa.
Oh my, Christianity again! I love it – the multiculturalism has, at least for the short term, has been purged. This is a giant step in the right direction. The joy that comes from our cultural resurgance literally brings tears to my eyes.
Multiculturalism?
If you are a believing Christian, you would know that Jesus Christ was born for all men, for all times. His message, and the mission of his disciples and later apostles of Christ was to spread the Good News to all men, to all nations.
He was born as the Light of the World. To lift up the hearts and spirits of all men and women everywhere, for all time. Through His life, death and resurrection, are we all saved.
The Good News. The best news for all us.
Christianity can be (and has been) integrated into many different cultures – except of course where outlawed. The most glaring hypocrisy to me in the whole “multiculturalism is great” claim is that we must include people from “cultures” which hate/persecute Christians and who would never allow the same thing in their home culture. They want no part of multiculturalism.
Good to see some class and grace again.
However, because some of the Confucian Rectification of Names and all that, one minor nitpick:
“2017 HOLIDAY Decorations at the White House” — The Donald needs to drill down and find the flunky who typed that and eject zhir ass outta there.
The most Beautiful First Lady EVER!! Jackie Kennedy would be in second place but she is nothing compared to Melania !!!!
A breathtaking change from having a First Lady who looked like she played college football.
What, no vajay-jay or hijab diversity ornaments?
Thank God for President Trump.
MAGA
Our First Lady is genuine. No artifice. She’s brought such beauty, dignity, and grace to the White House. The crystalline decor would have been hailed as FABULOUS if the previous FLOTUS had done it.
I just looked at the Melania Trump Twitter page. It’s infested with twittertrolls. What nasty, miserable people these leftists are. Not a scintilla of grace amongst them.
JWM
Real, honest to God Human Beings in the White House. Fantastic!
Make Christmas Great Again!
Hello Mr. Gass
She is absolutely Heaven Sent (as well as her husband on a different Mission) God Bless America.
Every day I give thanks that we are not enduring a 4-year Hillary presidency. Thank you, President Trump, for finally bringing some class and muscle to the White House. I am hoping for more great things in the next 3 years.
I cried a bit after seeing this brief film. A creche in the People’s House. With bonus grace, class, style, and restraint. All I’ve wanted for years is for America to turn, even the tiniest bit, in the right direction. Here is the evidence that is happening, and God be praised for it! Melania, thank you a thousand times. You are as beautiful inside as out.
Melania’s creche is the exact same one that adorned the East Room during every year of the Obama administration.
From the 2015 White House archives (pick any year you like from https://obamawhitehousearchives.gov/the-press-office):
“A long-standing holiday tradition—the White House crèche—graces this room. The nativity scene made of terra cotta and intricately carved wood was fashioned in Naples, Italy in the eighteenth century. Donated to the White House in the 1960s, this piece has sat in the East Room for the holidays for more than forty-five years, spanning nine administrations.”
Plenty of substantive criticism to made of Obama, why believe easily disproved lies?
Scratch that question, I already have the answer.
You’re Trump voters.
Melania ENDURED the fell reign of Communism in her native Slovenia.
Her labors to make the WH a visually attractive Christian bastion are most admirable.
Make Advent Gracious Again (MAGA)!
