Apparently, Michelle Malkin was attacked today by antifa thugs at a back the blue rally in Denver. Meanwhile, our GOP Senators are plotting to remove Columbus Day to appease the mobs. We are an army without generals. POTUS is riding solo.
We have a general (Trump) and a vision for victory. But the middling officer corps are quite confused in their loyalties, or perhaps the enemy swapped their winning strategy books for a book of surrender techniques. To oppose a violent mob, you (1) concede only what is absolutely necessary as a matter of indisputable constitutional law and (2) stand firm in solid, united opposition until the enemy dissipates of its own futility. If the rules of engagement allow and you foresee nearly certain victory without compromising your defenses, then you can (3) make cautious forays and advances.
Removal of Columbus day requires a change to federal statute; the Constitution does not require it, and even the Supreme Court observes the holiday. Therefore, any congressperson who pursues, proposes, or expresses this idea violates principle (1) in the foregoing paragraph. One never should make unnecessary concessions to the violent.
