By coincidence, I was watching High Noon this week, just as polls showed President Trump trailing Biden by 9 to10 points nationally. Like the hero of High Noon, the president sometimes seems to be fighting alone. It's high noon in America, and after the election, only one man will be left standing.
For anyone who hasn't seen it, High Noon is the story of Will Kane (Gary Cooper) and his bride, Amy (Grace Kelly), who are married just as the vicious Miller gang returns to town seeking revenge against Kane for sending their leader to prison. Though he is free to leave town, Marshall Kane decides that he must remain until the next day, when the new marshal takes over. A devout Quaker, Amy declares that she will leave her husband if he decides to fight.
Though painful, Will Kane's position is not impossible. His path is clear because he lives by an unwavering code of values. He remains in town to defend his fellow citizens, even the many who don't appreciate his efforts. When everyone abandons him, he faces overwhelming odds — four to one — with only the help of his wife, who returns without his knowledge and saves his life in the shootout.
President Trump faces the same overwhelming odds. The political establishment, the Deep State, practically the entire media, academe, unions, minorities, environmentalists, foreign nations, and special interests of all stripes have piled on, outraged that the president would actually stand up for ordinary Americans. They thought Trump's promise to "drain the swamp" was just words — the usual political rhetoric that would be forgotten as soon as the candidate took office. That's what Joe Biden —" friend of the working man" — has been doing for 47 years. But President Trump is not a typical politician, and the establishment hate him for it because he exposes what they are.
The question is whether the American people will back the president by getting out to vote. In High Noon, a crucial point was that the citizenry of the fictional Hadleyville were too timid and afraid to join in the town's defense. Now is the time to defend America, and the only way to do so is by casting a vote for President Trump.

Who can we find to fill this man's shoes in 2024????
The previous Governor of Indiana currently serves as Vice President.
Think of his term as on-the-job training for the Oval Office.
If he is not inclined, let him step down now for a better choice.

Awesome.
I will fight to tge death for my family and this great country. We are locked and loaded.
Well said and a terrific comparison.
P/S The Nation is approaching a crisis of Lincolnist proportions... civil war. The decisions to face down the massive corruption in government ... the active and open lawlessness of the nation's leaders must be faced down with more than moral courage and the support of the people... It will take a GOD GIVEN AND INSPIRED WILL to save the nation... spiritual insight that can only come from God and the President. President Trump must decide will we have an honest election and if not ... will he use his office and its powers to ensure the criminals responsible and their plans to corrupt the election are exposed and dealt with thru the use of Law and Order... that question remains to be answered? Did the president drain the swamp ... or is the swamp overpowering the President and the last hope or the people for Constitutional Government.
The average citizen is timid and reserved... it takes good leadership to motivate them to act. President Trump has the charisma and leadership qualities to motivate the masses in defense of their right to an honest election. The people are willing to fight as long as they have hope that their fight will result in victory.
Good Leaders inspire victory and are willing to convert such victory into better government and security for the nation. The question is will the President mobilize the resources of his office to ensure the election is honest and the results reflect the will of the people. Will the President mobilize constitutional resistance to an internal coupe, or be pushed around by the likes of Nancy Pelosi and sleepy Joe?
The President must set the goal in no uncertain terms, and ask the people to mobilize to support that goal... any independent or spontaneous uprising resulting from a rigged election will lead to chaos and a dead end.
