After 2 years of big nothings, reasonable Leftists should abandon the Russia theory, but the Putin-Trump confab recharged the Left’s conspiracy mania.
Continue readingAfter today’s meeting between Trump and Putin, Leftists have ratcheted their Russia hysteria up to level 12 out of 10. Do ordinary Americans care? I’m so old I can remember when Teddy Kennedy, the revered lion of the Senate, during the height of the Cold War asked the Soviets to intervene
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
Continue readingThe Mueller indictments show that no American conspired with the Russians — and that the Russians successfully acted to “sow discord” in the U.S. political system. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TrEF1CLvow] After suffering through a year of hysteria and the disruption of our national politics by our neo-Marxist progs trying to undo the election,
Continue readingAvailable facts indicate that the Progressives’ Russia Collusion narrative is fake — and time is running out to investigate the true Clinton/FBI collusion. With questions swirling around the Trump-Russian collusion narrative, we seem to be living in a John le Carré novel. It is one full of spies where the
Continue readingThe real Russia collusion — Obama and Clinton team with Russia against Trump — makes sense if you look at the motives driving the various actors. Da Vinci once said that “Every action needs to be prompted by a motive.” Motive is certainly a helpful tool when it comes to bringing
Continue readingPerhaps the most shocking thing of all about the Uranium One corruption scandal is the drive-by media’s deliberate effort to hide the story from the public. The following headlines are only a slight exaggeration. I’ve used “The Hill,” which broke the Uranium One story, as a representative of those few

John Kelly’s press briefing is essential viewing Trump Politicizing Our Military? The Real Story Tucker Carlson Tonight: Peter Schweizer, Nancy Soderberg on Obama Admin,
Continue readingA snapshot of Trump Derangement Syndrome: the different responses to reports about Trump’s alleged insensitivity versus Hillary’s selling America to Russia. Yesterday’s news broke two stories, one detailing massive national security infractions involving Russians during the Obama administration and one reporting the claim that Trump was insensitive to the widow
Continue readingThe banal news that Donald Trump Jr tried to get dirt on Hillary exposes Progressive delusions as a collective dementia unresponsive to actual facts. In 1848, Charles Mackay published Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. The preface to his first edition explains the idea behind the
Continue readingDigging into the known facts about Trump’s alleged leak of classified information, shows media bias and hints that the Deep State is spying on Trump. I always wait 24 hours before commenting on the Left’s latest bout of hysteria because, since Trump became president, those hysterical outbursts are invariably wrong.
Continue readingFor 8 years, my open threads have been depressing. This one, though, had me feeling remarkably cheerful as there’s a lot of good news under President Trump. I am very pleased with the airstrike President Trump ordered in Syria. Chemical weapons are a national security threat to every nation in
Continue readingGovernment employees, worried about job security, have turned into a Fifth Column willing to destroy the government rather than risk a drained swamp. I probably should define my term before I go on, as “Fifth Column” is not as common a phrase as it once was. It’s origin goes back

Those old posts were dystopian; in this, the new Age of Trump, things are a lot more cheerful when viewed through the prism of patriotism, rationality,

To me, this picture provides the only evidence one needs: We’ve seen that gesture before: The Islamic State
