Historians may look back and mark this week as a remarkable turning point in the Trump presidency. While the liberal media was mesmerized by the dull Judiciary Committee meetings (so boring that at least one Democrat was caught watching a golf match while seated in the committee), big things were happening. However, they are the kind of big things which the adversarial media has a hard time covering intelligently. In fact, several of the big events of this past week will further discredit the news media and force it even more toward the defensive. (Already, more than half of Americans don't trust the mass media.) . . . .

Wow, Newsweak printed this? An ice skating rink has opened in hell.
Also nafta 2 and Chinese trade deal
What’s up with this? Newsweek went and got itself hacked!
The Dems call it Nafta 2. It’s USMCA.
"Ideas have consequences"(Weaver).
The ideas of 1776 came out of a set of ideas consistent with liberty.
We tend to forget, or have never considered, that many world views existed then, as now.
Unless today's citizens rediscover the ideas of liberty existing in what Jefferson called "the American mind" of 1776, we risk going back to the "Old World" ideas which preceded the "Miracle of America."
There are those who call themselves "progressives," when, in fact, their ideas are regressive and enslaving, and as old as the history of civilization.
Would suggest to any who wish an authentic history of the ideas underlying American's founding a visit to this web site, at which Richard Frothingham's outstanding 1872 "History of the Rise of the Republic of the United States" can be read on line.
This 600+-page history traces the ideas which gave birth to the American founding. Throughout, Richard Frothingham, the historian, develops the idea that it is "the Christian idea of man" which allowed the philosophy underlying the Declaration of Independence and Constitution to become a reality--an idea which recognizes the individual and the Source of his/her "Creator"-endowed life, liberty and law.
Is there any wonder that the enemies of freedom, the so-called "progressives," do not promote such authentic histories of America? Their philosophy puts something called "the state," or "global interests" as being superior to individuals and requires a political elitist group to decide what role individuals are to play.
In other words, they must turn the Founders' ideas upside-down in order to achieve a common mediocrity for individuals and power for themselves.
"Why have we let such a small number of people dictate to us about this?"
Perhaps it is because, like termites, they worked at times behind the scenes and within organizations and institutions which were not suspected to be subversive to the ideas of liberty, such as the so-called "public" education system.

Remember in November!
MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)
And Donald Trump built ahead of time and under budget. For extra shadenfreude on our enemies.
Agreed...
I was about to write the same, just WOW! I can’t fathom that they published that from Newt, is there something rotten going on that they are willing to let him have this outlet so he can cover his own @zz or am I wrong about Newt and he is a honest man? (he is a politition, so I just assumed he was at the least somewhat rotten). Who owns the rag? Big cable maybe? iirc didn’t somebody buy it for a dollar?
