To hell with them, oh wait, they are in hell, Trump got elected&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Just another thing to smile about.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend, we took the new F150\u00a0on \u00a0the Volcanic Legacy Scenic drive, from Crater Lake to the Lava Beds National Monument. We rolled from 7000 feet and twenty foot snowbanks to high desert lava rock formations\u00a0 with four wildlife refuges and the largest fresh water lake west of the Mississippi on the way.<\/p>\n<p>Really fine time with the mother of my children.\u00a0 It was even better knowing\u00a0 things were not getting actively worse while we were off enjoying life.<\/p>\n<p>The economy is growing, the regulatory state is halted for now and even slowly receding in a few places and the crazies seem to be isolating themselves into echo chambers.<\/p>\n<p>Day by day, the Never Trumpers predictions are showing them \u00a0to be mostly &#8220;HE IS NOT OUR KIND OF PEOLPLE&#8221;\u00a0 issues, along with &#8220;HE WILL UPSET OUR CORRUPTION: concerns.<\/p>\n<p>If he gets stalemated, we are still ahead.\u00a0 The more they fight his initiatives, their forced inaction will kill them. One terrorist incident by a refugee, One exchange for OCare where there are ZERO providers, one more drunk driver killing people who was illegal the delay tactics will bite them.<\/p>\n<p>It will be a long four years, but the good news is most of the anxiety is now on the opposition.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy it. Achieve the State Of Zen Trump.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2978\" src=\"http:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/zenPublication1.jpg\" alt=\"zenPublication1\" width=\"1105\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/zenPublication1.jpg 1105w, https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/zenPublication1-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/zenPublication1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/zenPublication1-768x385.jpg 768w, https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/zenPublication1-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/zenPublication1-250x125.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1105px) 100vw, 1105px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pld-like-dislike-wrap pld-template-1\">\r\n    <div class=\"pld-like-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-login.php\" class=\"pld-like-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"2977\" data-trigger-type=\"like\" data-restriction=\"user\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"fas fa-thumbs-up\"><\/i>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-like-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">    <\/span>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"pld-dislike-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-login.php\" class=\"pld-dislike-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"2977\" data-trigger-type=\"dislike\" data-restriction=\"user\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"fas fa-thumbs-down\"><\/i>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-dislike-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\"><\/span>\r\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have finally acquired a sense of Trumpian Zen.<\/p>\n<p>After the eight years of concern about the most dangerous president the country ever elected and the constant terror that they would be successful in dismantling the last bastion of freedom, I am finding a sense of peace descending.<\/p>\n<p>The media is not longer worthy of following day to day, minute by minute.<\/p>\n<p>The White House is mostly sticking to their agenda and trying to learn as they go to avoid pitfalls.
