A Time for War: The Gathering Storm

Most everyone entrenched on both sides of this cold civil war feels it coming. The thunder and lightning have been getting closer. For the better part of a year, we’ve been listening to the noise getting louder, and the flashes, good Lord, sometimes they get brighter by the minute. Many think the storm started on Nov. 9, 2016. Whichever, we all feel it.

This past weekend was a perfect example. Brian Ross starts a series of false reports, so bad that the stock market dives, the leftist media breathlessly reports that President Trump is finished, and do their version of a happy dance. Except, the report was not true, the networks once again proved to be unworthy sources of news, just repeating a false narrative.

Then the tax plan surprisingly passed the Senate. The left, as usual, had a collective hissy fit, droning on about how lost we are as a country. Oh, the horror! Tax cuts!! We’re doomed!!! Doomed they say!!!! For the first time in decades the Democratic Party is pretending to be concerned about our debt.

Trump is not afraid of the storm...he knows the storm and he thrives in it.

If you had told me we would already be experiencing 3%+ growth, close to 25% increase in the stock market, that we’d be out of the Paris Climate Accords, becoming energy independent, had a great replacement for former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia while remaking the judiciary, getting tax cuts, voting out the Obamacare mandate, remaking the Middle East, that China would help us with Rocket Man, that illegal immigration would be cut by 75% to the lowest level in some 42 years (and that without the wall), that Trump would have driven the media to commit institutional suicide daily, all the while the left pulls its hair out on an hourly basis, I would have said you’re a little torched. Trust me, this is almost miraculous.

All in less than one year with enemies attacking from every side!

For America this Christmas, Trump is Santa Claus!

Not decades. They expressed concern about the debt when Bush was in office. That's how it works. The only time Democrats care about deficits and the debt is when a Republican is in the White House. And the only time Republicans care about deficits and the debt is when a Democrat is in the White House. It's always been that way.

I’ve been calling it a cold civil war for over a year now, here and on other sites. I wonder if the author read one of my posts. :)

This may be hard to believe but after languishing for a long time my 401k has increased no less than 60K since January of this year. No joke.

Limbaugh needs to read this; maybe then he’ll stop screaming and wringing his hands.

Mine too...minus my contributions I'm up 68k!

Great article.

Entirely too many Obama and Clinton holdovers committed to acting unconstitutionally, and in some cases with criminality, buried deep within the feral government. Including Congress. And including Trump’s administration. There needs to be a purge. Trump, despite the height of his skill level, can only do so much as President.

Trump is the storm

Whenever I hear/read someone saying Trump is the storm, this music goes through my head.

Wow!

Oh...and you can add to that this morning's news that unemployment is below 3% for the first time in YEARS.

Instead of "shrugging" it looks like Atlas is getting a second wind.

Valuation of the stock market has never been, nor will it ever be, an indicator of the wealth of a nation. The GDP or GNP is what is usually looked at.

If I were you, I would keep to myself details concerning my relative financial worth. It’s unbecoming, and classless, and in some cases dangerous, to boast about these in public, much less on a website supposedly devoted to conservative principles.

Good one there. That's a keeper.

Why, thank you! :-)

Our collection of stocks and similar investments are up over 9 percent this year.
Thanks, president Trump !

Good one!

Acting unconstitutionally.

Call it what it is FRiend. The words will set us free.

They aren’t “acting unconstitutionally”. They are committing High Treason against the United States.
