The Circus of Resistance

FTA:
The resistance to Donald Trump was warring on all fronts last week.
Democratic senators vied with pop-up protestors in the U.S. Senate gallery to disrupt and, if possible, to derail the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. U.S. SenatorCory Booker (D-N.J.) played Spartacus, but could not even get the script right as he claimed to be bravely releasing classified information that was already declassified. I cannot remember another example of a senator who wanted to break the law but could not figure out how to do it.
Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), former Harvard Law Professor who still insists she is of Native American heritage, called for the president to be removed by invoking the 25th Amendment. Apparently fabricating an ethnic identity is sane, and getting out of the Iran deal or the Paris Climate Accord is insanity and grounds for removal.
Barack Obama decided that ex-presidents should attack current presidents, and thereby reminded the country why Trump was elected. The author of the Russian resetand the hot-mic collusionary offer criticized Trump for being soft on Putin. The president who never achieved annualized 3 percent GDP growth (and is the first president since 1933 who can claim this distinction) also claimed Trumps roaring economy was due to Obama-era policies (e.g., raising taxes, Obamacare, more regulations, and you didnt build that commentaries). Fresh from trashing his successor in a funeral speech, the ever audacious Obama called for more decorum.

More Beltway Fantasies
The op-ed is the latest cartoon of Trump, the Road Runner, finally, at last, and for sure driven off the cliff by the Resistance as Wile E. Coyoteinfuriated by yet another Road Runner beep-beep. There were earlier and serial Looney Tunes efforts to nullify the Electoral College, to sue about election machines, to boycott the Inauguration, to introduce articles of impeachment, to invoke the 25th Amendment, to try out the Emoluments Clause and the Logan Act, to sue by cherry picking liberal federal judges, to harass officials in public places and restaurants, to warp the FISA courts, to fund a foreign spy to do opposition research, and to weaponize even further the FBI, NSA, and Justice Departmentalong with the now-boring celebrity assassination chic rhetoric of blowing up, stabbing, shooting, burning, hanging, smashing, and decapitating Donald J. Trump.
After the latest hysteria dies down, this chapter in the ongoing psychodrama will be revealed for what it is: a fantasy of a wannabe coup that is not going to happen. The commentariats silly claim that the op-ed was extraordinary and newsworthy is laughable. There are hundreds of senior officials all throughout every presidency, no doubt more so in the outsider Trumps, who are disgruntled. On any given day, any newspaper could root out a senior official to write anonymously anything it wished to fit a preconceived narrative. What is extraordinary is not an op-ed from some sort of a mad David Stockman taken to the woodshed or defrocked Don Regan losing a war with Nancy Reagan, but that the New York Times hunted down someone of #theResistance to create a hysteria that an unhinged Trump must be removed.

AND IT JUST GETS BETTER!
I almost didn’t read this based on the title, but I couldn’t get over Wayne Allyn Root writing it, so I did. Glad I did.

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT=> TRUMP: THE WORST RACIST OF ALL TIME
Im going to tell you the tale of two presidents. Trump and Obama.
First, Im going to introduce you to worst racist ever in the White House. Then Im going to introduce you to the worst jealous, bitter, sore loser ever in the White House.
Lets start with President Trump. He is without a doubt the worst racist EVER. Oops. I guess you thought I meant Trump is a terrible racist. Nope. I dont mean what liberals think I mean. I mean Trump is terrible at being a racist. Awful. The worst ever.
No one has ever been worse at being a racist than Trump.
Afterall, would a racist create the lowest black unemployment EVER? Or the lowest Hispanic unemployment EVER? Or the lowest female unemployment in 65 years? Or the lowest youth unemployment in 50 years?
Im betting we are also experiencing the lowest gay and Muslim unemployment ever. Everyone is doing great in the Trump economy- especially all the groups Trump supposedly hates.
Racists must be steaming mad. The KKK must be sick to their stomachs. Nazis must be throwing darts at Trumps face. Real racists have to be longing for the days of Obama. Because Obamas policies actually destroyed opportunity for black people. Obamas policies were historically bad for minorities, women, gays and young people.
If you root for minorities to suffer misery and malaise, Obama is your man!
But Trump? Trump is the definition of a reverse racist- because hes making life far better for all the people liberals claim he hates! Black business ownership is up 400% in the past Year. Oh, the pain. The misery. This man is killing us!
Trump the supposed racist is the best thing to ever happen to black people, Hispanic people, women, young people, gays and even Muslims. Everyone is benefiting from his racism. Trump is proving prosperity knows no color. A rising tide lifts all boats.
Did you see the latest stats out on Friday? The economy is booming like a space rocket. We just added 201,000 jobs in August- more than expected. More Americans are working than at any time in history. Unemployment is at a remarkable 3.9%.
And get ready for this stat: Trump has only been president for 19 months and already over 20% of the job increases in this century have occurred during the Trump years. Since 2000 the US has added a net increase of 16.2 million jobs. But Trump has added 3.5 million net jobs all by himself. In only a year and a half!
President Obama lost 4.4 million jobs in his first 19 months. Trump gained 3.5 million.
But heres the best news of all. Wage growth is the highest in 12 years. Average hourly earnings increased by 2.9% in August. Obama never achieved numbers like this in his dreams!
This is unreal. Trump is a magician. Trump is David Blane. Trump is David Copperfield. Trump is Houdini.
Now to the worst jealous, bitter, sore loser ever in the White House. That would be former President Obama. He hit the campaign trail on Friday and railed against President Trump. He blamed Trump for the politics of division and resentment. He called the situation dire. He called Trump a bully. He screamed about bigots and fear mongers. Obama called Republicans radical. Somehow he never mentioned the economy. Cat got your tongue Mr. Obama?
Obama sees all these fantastic economic numbers and hes unhappy. He cant stand Trumps success. Hes green with envy. Heres a man who cant take YES for an answer. He wont rest until things turn negative for American workers.
If the greatest GDP and jobs numbers since Reagan are radical if the highest black small business creation is divisive if the lowest black unemployment is dire if Trump is a racist
Whatever Trump is doing, we need more!
Obama is jealous, bitter and a sore loser. Obama and the Democrats just cant stand Trumps success. They clearly want the economy to fail. They clearly hate Trump more than they love America. Thats sad, petty and pathetic.
Heres my crystal ball: There is no blue wave. No one with a brain, of any color, wants to go back to the Obama economy.
As a matter of fact, now that sore loser, green-with-envy Obama is back on the campaign trail, reminding voters about the terrible Obama economy, a red storm is coming. While Obama was president, Democrats lost control of everything- US Senate, U.S. House, Governors, and most state legislatures. A total wipeout. Now hes back on the campaign trail trying to help Democrats. You know my reaction.
Glory Hallelujah. Thank God Obama is back.
Thanks for the guffaws.
Re “Spartacus”:
“... I cannot remember another example of a senator who wanted to break the law but could not figure out how to do it...”
Elizabeth Warren - almost certified Crazy Lady (Crazy Bull-ette?) has invoked the 25th amendment asserting that it is DJT who is crazy and not herself!
Obama and Hillary remind us why we elected DJT.
Mairdie - this is just another example of why Victor Davis Hanson is so beloved of Patriots!
Your Wayne Allen Root article is a find too!
I have the suspicion that YOU had breakfast with generally, and you shared the Wheaties Box! You are both power houses today!
ROFL!!!
“Meep Meep!”
Trying to catch up! Just drove almost 600 miles today, back home from a vacation. Lots to absorb!
