Continue readingThe video that Trump showed to Kim Jong Un is a direct challenge to Obama’s Marxist predestination; it promises the triumph of great men with free will. President Obama always had a lot to say about history. More specifically, he had a lot to say about future history. As Obama
Continue readingNewly obsessed with a spike in suicide, Leftists argue that Americans are mean. I contend that the suicide spike is because Leftists have denied us hope. The recent suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain have brought suicide into the American spotlight. Although an “N” of two is not a
Continue readingKim Jong Un’s temper tantrum upon mention of Libya was predictable, so I’m betting Trump put that out there on purpose to continue using behaviorism on Kim. Back in my kids’ pre-school days, one of the moms told a very funny story. She had been struggling to get her three-year-old

Continue readingWith the Mueller investigation discredited, Frank Bruni suddenly realizes that Trump used America’s winner-take-all system to enact conservative policies. Frank Bruni’s latest opinion piece at the New York Times — Robert Mueller, You’re Starting To Scare Me — is a fascinating window into the Progressives’ narcissistic mindset. Superficially, the column

If you haven’t seen Benjamin Netanyahu’s detailed exposé of the Iranian nuclear weapons program, you must. As always, I am very interested in anything you have to say
Continue readingJohn Pavlovitz is a hugely popular Progressive preacher. He also exemplifies everything that’s wrong with how Progressives approach Trump’s presidency. Have you ever heard of John Pavlovitz? Right. I hadn’t heard of him either. Still, thanks to the wonders of the internet, you can quickly learn about him. According to
Continue readingIf the internet keeps being awash in stuff supporting the Second Amendment, I’ve got to go with it — but there’s lots of other good material here too. Before going on to the next set of posters (the ones about things other than the Second Amendment), here’s a wonderful video.
Continue readingDonald Trump’s conservative victories have been huge, but unless Congress reasserts its powers and restrains the Courts, his gains will be ephemeral. The Heritage Foundation, perhaps the leading conservative think-tank, is over the moon with what President Trump has accomplished to date. This from the Washington Examiner: With unprecedented speed,
Continue readingRussian meddling in the election only became an issue after Trump won. Obama had pointed advice for Trump during the campaign season. (h/t Althouse) As quoted in a tweet today by President Trump, pointing out that Obama did not consider Russian “meddling” important during the campaign, nor did he take

Adam Schiff, one of the four Congressional Democrats with the clearance to actually put eyes on all of the top secret documents made available to date by the FBI and
