Always heard them called ‘CLAMS’- congressional left, academia, and media. They have brought the Republic to its knees.

It’s good to see NR articles here, because the NR website is a nightmare that locks up my computer. If I try to post a comment there, the computer is so unresponsive I need to type things over and over. It takes ten minutes to type one or two sentences.

Progressive = communist/Marxist, but the killing hasn’t started- yet.

Oh, wait- I forgot the baby murders.

Thanks for posting.

Good start for understanding this one aspect of the abject ideology referred to as progressivism.

For reasons of symbolism, Trump should skip the White House Correspondents’ dinner. It has descended into a strange Neroian feast, where left-wing Hollywood celebs and the denizens of WikiLeaks fame meet to treat, and in turn hear, the president as if he were a fellow Las Vegas carnival barker. It is a relic whose time came and went a long time ago.

Agreed. Skip this nerd prom.
