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 “reset”and 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 Trump’s roaring economy was due to Obama-era policies (e.g., raising taxes, Obamacare, more regulations, and “you didn’t 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. Coyote—infuriated 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 Department—along 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 commentariat’s 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 Trump’s, 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

I’m going to tell you the tale of two presidents. Trump and Obama.

First, I’m going to introduce you to worst racist ever in the White House. Then I’m going to introduce you to the worst jealous, bitter, sore loser ever in the White House.

Let’s 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 don’t 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?

I’m 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 Trump’s face. Real racists have to be longing for the days of Obama. Because Obama’s policies actually destroyed opportunity for black people. Obama’s 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 he’s 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 here’s 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 he’s unhappy. He can’t stand Trump’s success. He’s green with envy. Here’s a man who can’t take “YES” for an answer. He won’t 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 can’t stand Trump’s success. They clearly want the economy to fail. They clearly hate Trump more than they love America. That’s sad, petty and pathetic.

Here’s 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 he’s back on the campaign trail trying to “help” Democrats. You know my reaction.

Glory Hallelujah. Thank God Obama is back.
