American Might Returns Under Trump

https://www.nysun.com/foreign/american-might-makes-its-return-in-trump-era/90534/

Do I take this article as gospel? Certainly NOT! However, the general BOistan media is generally the sound of one left hand clapping -- I certainly don't take their daily pronouncements of gloom as even remote truth either! This paragraph is interesting ...

In the eight years of President Obama, the United States lost 219,000 manufacturing jobs; in the two years of Trump, the country has added 477,000 manufacturing jobs. This was not supposed to be possible, and this time, unlike in the great Reagan boom, it cannot be dismissed by the left (and it was false in the eighties) as a profusion of “hamburger flippers, dry cleaners and people delivering pizza,” (all necessary occupations).

The right has been a champion of "free" trade since before Reagan, and "all things being equal", free trade is generally good. Much like a football game however where it is best to "let them play" free of penalties if possible, there MUST be some level of referee involvement or one side would be knifing the opposition before we knew it. This is just human nature.

So too with trade -- it isn't "free" to have China demanding that they can steal US technology in order to allow us to trade with them, it is COERCED! No matter the trading partner, the vase bureaucracies of the left in all countrys and trade groups found willing accomplises in the BOistan Administrative State, and the "conservatives" paid no attention since they were assured that what was happening was "free trade".

The winners on the global stage since the 1990s have been the Davos world bureaucratic elite class -- with everyone else, especially the BOistan average Joe being the losers -- bigtime. 

Well worth the read for a little sound from the right hand.

How Treasonous Trump Operates

https://www.lifezette.com/2018/08/heres-why-trumps-greatest-talent-terrifies-dems-and-baffles-republicans/

Our "balanced" between the left and far left media has nothing but bad to say about Trump. When ideology is all that matters to you, that is not very surprising. The linked column is worth the rather short read -- a couple of quotes;

This was all about Russia. Russia is, basically, a well-armed gas station. Without high profits from the sale of oil and natural gas, Russia’s economy is nothing. And so, with his trade deal with the head of the EU, Trump went right for Russia’s jugular. He said overly nice things to Putin in Helsinki, then went back to Washington and, through his EU deal, stomped on Russia’s throat.

He also stomped on Russia's jugular as he pushed Merkle on the Nord 2 pipeline! Now, on to China ...

But China’s economic jugular vein is their reliance on exports, with the U.S. being their largest customer. Meanwhile, the U.S. exports very little, comparatively, to China. Simply put, they can’t win a trade war with the U.S. We slap big tariffs on all their exports, they respond in kind, and it’s their economy that crashes, not ours. 

And they know that. And Trump knows that. He knows what their jugular vein is, and he’s about to stomp on it. Trade wars are bad. People on both sides get hurt. But in the end, it will be China that loses, and it will be China that opens its doors to more U.S. exports, and it will be the U.S. that wins.

I'm pretty sure all our elites know this very well -- and they have been happily screwing American workers to bump up the early return profits on their Asian investments for a long while. The idea that Trump is improving the economy in BOistan at the expense of the Davos crowd is anything but good news to them.

It is in fact TREASON! Treason gainst the "Citizens of the World" in the Davos crowd where the top 8 guys own 50% of the wealth of the planet  (likely more by now) ... and thus he needs to be IMPEACHED!

Was It A "Slam Dunk" ?

https://www.nationalreview.com/news/trump-putin-press-conference-doesnt-criticize-putin/

Even the right seems have to developed a sudden respect for the veracity of the Deep State intelligence. My, how far we have come since George Tenet issued his "slam dunk" summary of Saddam's WMD!

My biggest problems with "Russian Meddling" are these:

1. Why? Russia's main export (outside of Vodka) is Energy. They have spend tens of millions to defeat fracking and pipelines in the US because they don't like competition (most businesses really don't!). They paid Hillary something around $50 million to gain access to 20% of US uranium reserves, so they certainly were not "anti-Clinton". Why would they work to get the most likely candidate to help the US produce more energy in office?
   
2. How? No, I'm not Liz Warren saying hello. How did they 'influence the election"? By buying some bogus FB ads? By doing "fake news"? By helping release emails the D's had protected with a password of "password"?
   
   The US MSM was a full time shill for Hillary and every week was a new thing that HAD to do Trump in. If you listened to NPR, his campaign was "hopeless", "over" and in "disarray" every week. Why Republicans were likely going to lose the house and the senate because of what a disastrous candidate Trump was. They were ALWAYS going to "replace him".
   
   HOW did the Russians counteract BILLIONS of US media directed against Trump on a daily basis? I actually think I DO have the answer to this one! Hillary is certainly too smart to call half the electorate "irredeemable deplorables" on her own ... clear Russian trickery with her 

If Trump is like me, he no longer believes ANYONE! Not our Deep State, not the Russians, and CERTAINLY not the media! ... not any side of it to do anything put put out stories to improve their ratings!

When you are leader of a failed state run by an Administrative / Deep State that is unaccountable to anyone and where the Sheeple have such short memories that I doubt they recall a decade ago when the CIA was considered completely unreliable.

In fact, on the left, way back to the Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, Iran, etc, the CIA or any "American Intelligence" was as much an oxymoron as "military intelligence"! 

The left spent decades telling us this nation was "not a Christian nation"! and we finally believed them. They have spent at least since the '60s telling us how corrupt and untrustworthy government institutions like the military, the CIA, the FBI and the NSA are -- now they suddenly find them to be above reproach! Gee, that is really hard to understand! 

Could it be that when all that matters is political victory, that you will take any position in order to make political points? Is Trump any different? 

Who knows? We trust the Russians more than our own NASA to put men in space, perhaps they are better at intelligence as well? Or maybe just less political agenda driven than our own Deep State. 

Swamp Creature Classification, Peter Strzok

https://spectator.org/peter-strzok-a-cocky-liar-to-the-end/

I actually watched a few minutes of the farce/hearing while I was working out yesterday. The article is a good summary, I recommend reading it when you have nothing handy to throw.  Those of us who want to believe that there is some outside chance that we will return to something like "America" from the current BOistan, or successfully break off a "New America" from the "10ish" states that are core BOistan needs to look at a tiny bit of the video of the hearing and read at least a little of it. TP has established a new "problem word" ... "it", to join in infamy with "is".

This is the opening paragraph:

The Peter Strzok hearing was a travesty, starting with the fact that he testified as a cocooned, lawyered-up government employee still working for the FBI. It is outrageous that he hasn’t been fired yet. He even still has a security clearance! That alone is proof of the deep state’s hold on certain executive branch agencies. If the FBI keeps its so-so employees close, it keeps its worst employees even closer. That Strzok could huddle with FBI lawyers while stonewalling a Republican-led committee speaks to the corruption of official Washington and the comparative impotence of Republican administrations. Does anybody think an FBI agent who had vowed to “stop” the candidacy of Barack Obama would have lasted a week at his job, let alone over a year, after the discovery of his bias?

I understand that the most partisan of the lefties will just say BUT TRUMP!

The name and the effect in card games is so ironic that it continually amazes me. Our founders created a nation where the president was certainly important, but the Constitution, the separation of powers, AND the generally religious and God fearing nature of the American populace was FAR more important!

What BO showed us is that a major portion of the country was entirely ready for one party Administrative/Deep State rule, and president as dictator in all but name. In fact, they were certain they had ACHIEVED it -- I agree with them. They DID, and HAVE ... as the article makes clear, people that believe otherwise would absolutely KNOW that "Americans" of ALL political leanings would rise up in disgust and extreme anger at such a travesty from their own employee (Strzok) and his obvious colluders from "The Party" (TP-D). The Administrative / Deep State and TP are clearly of one piece -- the biggest fear of the Federalists has come to pass ... exectutive, legislative and judicial powers all coalesced in the Administrative / Deep State and in control of the single party, TP!

That is "the ball game", and incredibly, ALL that stands against it is the very thin and very hard to understand reed of TRUMP! Most of his strong supporters don't understand the real depth and mechanism of our peril in any level beyond their gut feel that their country is broken. Even those that DO to some extent understand the extremity of our danger (like Jonah Goldberg), fail to consider that at the moment, Trump is the only real resistance to TP tyranny that isn't just pointy headed intellectualism and purist posturing that gives any hint of a move to restoration of a just government to this sad broken territory of BOistan.

The article is a classic case of "read it and weep".

NEA Post Janus Meeting (Power Line)

Power Line covers it pretty well. I'm sensitive to the "evil" charge these days since after reading Suicide of the West, I can see where it really fails to move us forward -- "very misinformed", "alternative tribal world view that is at odds with liberty and keeping food on your table" (see Venezuala).

In any case, thank God for Trump and the Roberts Court! One thing about America vs BOistan ... when you have good ideas, they DON'T need to be mandatory as in they collect union dues from you no matter what!
