I thought this a fine summary.

Klavan also has a bunch of Klavan on Culture videos at YouTube, which is where I knew of him from. I didn't realize he was doing more written material through City Journal.

Enter President Donald Trump. He is a rude and crude person. He speaks like a Queens real estate guy on a construction site. And because he does not have good manners, he thoughtlessly breaks the rules with which the Left has sought to muzzle those who disagree with them.

I don't mind President Trump being rude and crude, although I don't think he's gone far enough. He says CNN is fake news. I wish he would just say out loud that CNN is f*cked up news. That would be rude and crude, but honest. Honesty while crude can be refreshing against liberal toxic society.

>> in the city of Rotherham, at least 1,400 non-Muslim girls, some as young as 11, were brutally raped by Muslim immigrants

I already know the facts Klavan presents, but to read them is kinda of nauseating — excuse me while I vomit in disgust...

The U.K. is a sh!thole. Canada is turning into a sh!thole. Major media corporations in the U.S. are leading the Country into a sh!thole. And needless to say, Islam is a war plan.

Okay battery dying but I had to post this.

“He speaks like a Queens real estate guy on a construction site. “

Maybe that is because what he is. Not sure where exactly in NYC is where he is from...but he spent a lot of time on construction sites.

off topic...

My Black Lab bit my thumb and I am just now stopping the bleeding. She took a tin foil container with some leftover lasagna and started to eat the foil! Getting away from her, she actually bit me.

I put her in the bathroom for a while to punish her and told my daughter to never try to take food or food containers away from her.

Now my laptop, I see, has blood spots all over it.

Need to call Cesar Millan. LOL

The Left never use the truth to gain power. For them it is the Alinsky method where their opponent is denigrated and bullied until they are silent. We must have resolve. There is no capitulation with them.

Ouch! Good luck. And you’ve let the Lab be the alpha. This isn’t good, and you may want to rethink this.

Wow, do not ever let your dog be the boss of you. You are the alpha. I don’t say this to be mean. I’ve had dogs my whole life and love them. I joke about them training me to give them treats, etc, but aggression? That’s a no-go zone.

Please be careful and consult someone to train (or re-train) this dog.

Our President knows that you cannot face and solve problems if you do not make plain what those problems are. He leaves no doubt about how he sees the mess we are in. Further more, he knows you cannot deal with the social slime which now covers our society in dainty terms. As a “real” woman, I am comforted that a “real” man, one who acts as though he has the courage and insight to keep us safe, is in the White House. Let the left roar on in their madness. People are seeing who and what they are. I suspect that, even though we suspect the deep state has been up to no good for a long time, when the truth finally comes out, which it eventually will, we might be stunned at who is involved.

Controlling the language is a big lefty thing.

The quote I keep going back to is “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

Regarding bullying, I don’t know if he originated the term “crybully”, but he certainly embraced it early, and nailed it:

Regarding Trump, Evan Sayet nailed it here:

Andrew Klavan said they we have to play the cards we have been dealt. President Trump is obviously a high trump card, overcoming all others. At least I hope he will prevail! Read on for why I am most anxious that he does: Regarding his stance on immigration, I speak from some experience - as my screen name indicates, I have first-hand knowledge about the mindset of many adherents to Islam. Of course, the person I knew most about in this context is no longer my brother-in-law for very compelling reasons, but I hear that he is not changed at all significantly in his outlook on the world. In short, the problems President Trump alluded to are only secondarily related to plumbing issues of Third World countries: when we import foreigners from such countries, they often bring that mindset with them and seek to spread it around, even by force. It is therefore vital that we carefully vet all applicants. For example, we should not grant U. S. citizenship to members of the Palistine Liberation Organization, a terrorist sponsoring group.

good point. she generally waits for me to go first into a room, and sit and wait after we fill her food bowl but i guess the lasagna tin was too tempting. ;)

On hold with my doctor to see if I am up to date with tetanus and if he wants to prescribe ABs.

Thanks, all.
