Clarice Ping!
At least this time, the MSM are being useful idiots. Their cries of “Trump gave too much ...” etc. are likely helping Kim sell the agreement back home (if Trump gave too much ... Kim got a good deal). Ticker-tape parades, and the like, might have soured the whole deal.
Great article!
I have been saying for months the same thing that the author and those he cited mentioned. President Trump’s actions have to be viewed in their entirety. ie... Slapping down the idiot Canadian Prime Minister was done partially for Kim’s benefit. The president has an overall strategy and slight of hand where the magician creates a diversion with one hand while he does something else with the other is definitely part of his operating procedure.
I was not sure if this was intentional at first, but a pattern has developed. The opposition still has not caught on. Even if they recognize it, they have no idea how to respond in an effective way.
When I was young, the word was “vineyard,” not “vintage.”
Vintage doesn’t even make any sense, as it means “the wine from a particular harvest or crop.”
One might think of the grapes of wrath as being stored in a vineyard, but how could grapes be stored at a vintage?
BTW, there used to be a Confederate version of “John Brown’s Body.” There were those who asserted that this was the original, supported by the song’s clear link to spirituals, but I believe they have all died and their books have been “cleansed” from library shelves.
All that remains is oral history, passed down the generations, and easily mocked by those who wish to obscure the true lessons of the era.

This Thread starts out discussing the historic things happening in North Korea and ends up with dueling opinions about the difference between Vintage and Vineyard.
Amazing...
