An article that cuts through a lot of baloney. The last paragraph is a clincher.

Wish Trump could negotiate something in the Oregon standoff!

I was a hard nosed sailor, trump is a punk

I would shoot him out of torpedo tube rather than trust him.

But heck who did I EVER trust?

Oh, that's a good one, from October of last year. Good enough to bookmark. This:

The [PC] approach has worked, but it exacerbates people's sense that something is being put over on them, that they are being deprived of the world that was theirs by those who hold them in contempt and wish them no good.

Everybody knows this is happening. Once that contempt was veiled, but now it is open, defiant, and incredibly aggressive, and with the power of the state behind it, very difficult to oppose. The problem is that the power of the state can still, even after all the institutional corruption and relentless takeover, be torn away. The fear we're smelling from the Left at the moment is precisely that fear.

Trump's been called a clown by those who guard the purity of our political culture. The name-calling is silly in a country in which respectable opinion insists that two grooms make a wedding, and an organization that tears living babies apart and sells the pieces is a model of honor and public spirit.

The greatest fear of the people holding those "respectable" opinions is that they've been found out and that they might no longer be able to enforce their exclusivity. Theirs is not simply an alternate way of looking at society, it is active and unapologetic evil. It will shriek as it is disempowered.

Best article of the day...and possible the week, month, and year.

This is why Trump will be President and no other candidate stands a chance.
