Know this: even as the cowardly 29-year-old butcher responsible for the Manhattan attack receives the best medical care on the face of the Earth in the emergency room, the man in the White House is crushing his comrades and his twisted cause from the Situation Room.

There is no one better suited to destroy radical Islamic terror than Donald Trump — and the bad guys are finding that out.

Overseas, President Trump adjusted the rules of engagement so that the commanders in the field would enjoy more day-to-day discretion, rather than have maneuvers dictated by high-minded beltway bureaucrats.

Last May, President Trump’s speech to the Arab Islamic American Summit in Saudi Arabia was noticeably void of any apologies for the failures of the West.

It’s terrific... after decades of equivocation, apologies, and all the other wimped-out posturing that has been going on.

Blaming America is the lazy man’s answer to the problems of the world... at SOME point real, mature, objective and reasoned effort has to be directed to the issues at hand.

Standing around screaming “Henny Penny the sky is falling!!!” and, “Blame America!!”, NEVER solved the problems and will not work any more. It’s time to ADMIT THAT!!
