In the “old days,” proud leftists mocked Christians for their social concerns by theatrically asking, “Won’t somebody please think of the children?” The rhetorical barb was meant to portray non-leftists as being easily duped rubes who are always hyperventilating over some imaginary “moral panic.” These days, it is leftists who are constantly overreacting to Trump administration policies as if each one guarantees that the world will end.
Before President Trump even entered office back in 2017, the leftist press corps blob ran a glut of stories promising Americans that the outsider politician would start WWIII. After Trump used his time in office to avoid new military engagements and draw others to a close, that “moral panic” disappeared. Today leftist “journalists” are extremely worried that Trump will end the war in Ukraine. That proxy war between Russia and U.S.-NATO has always represented a real risk of runaway conflict between the world’s preeminent nuclear powers, yet the president’s earnest attempts to keep the matter from expanding into an apocalyptic nightmare now bother the same leftists who once pretended to fear WWIII.
For the first six months of Trump’s second term, leftist politicians and pundits screeched about the scourge of tariffs and how they would destroy the economy. Every night, the “best and brightest” pontificators in the land promised Americans that inflation would soon bury them.

It is all part of the orchestrated color revolution being unleashed on their own country.

I usually look forward to articles by Shurk.
But this one starts with roundabout hash slinging and doesn’t get to any real point in the large excerpt.
I hope he reads this and goes back to his usually concise and primary issue driven style.
Warlords need to eat steak too? Not just immigrants in our country.
Not like our drug users have the teeth to anyway.
Today the RAT politicians show the American people how evil they are for trying to get foreign murderers, rapists and drug dealers kicked out of our country. Now I understand why America could never win the drug war. It’s being run by illegal immigrants and the maggots in the Party of Death, the DemonRATS.
