February 19 is Presidents Day 2024. The 2024 United States elections are scheduled to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
Every presidential election year is always an especially good time to reflect on America's past presidents who helped make America great.
Will future leaders continue the business of nation-building? Will they continue to build on their foundation, build America up, and maintain its positive influence in world affairs?
Donald J. Trump was elected as the fearless leader to steer the helm of the United States of America and he has been in office since January 2017. Trump Administration Accomplishments: Official White House Report. The 2020 presidential election is right around the corner. Trump has announced his intentions to run for a second term. Several Democratic candidates have announced their intentions to seek The Office.
Trump ran against Biden, lost the election BUT was unwilling to allow a peaceful transition in leadership WHICH IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES GREAT!! Our leaders don't get into office and SET UP A DICTATORSHIP or some other form of government where the leader believes God died and left him in charge! When elected presidents have served their terms, they leave the White House peacefully and go home!!
At any rate, after the January 6th, 2021 insurrection that Trump instigated, the election results were certified. Certification is a part of this nation's election process WHICH IS ANOTHER THING THAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT!!

Question: Have you ever seen the movie “Lincoln” starring Daniel Day Lewis as honest Abe?
Answer: No. However, I heard that Mr. Lewis' performance was stellar. No surprise. Have never known him to ever deliver a shoddy performance. He was outstanding in “The Last of the Mohicans”. Would not expect him to be any less outstanding if given an opportunity to showcase his amazing acting ability in a movie about one of the most beloved presidents of the United States. It's on my watch list.
