Are we going to fight or are we going to knuckle-under to tyranny? The people who founded this country would already be in rebellion.
If they prevail, they will be teaching the electorate a very dangerous lesson: you can vote for change all you want, but you ain't gonna get any. And that leads nowhere good.From November to January we had three months of blather about the "peaceful transfer of power", but that is in fact precisely what the losers have denied the winners: Instead, they weaponized the transfer. Do you think, after last week, the Aussies regard this as a normal "transfer of power"? What we are witnessing is a slow-motion coup against a duly elected government by people determined to use whatever they have to hand - national-security leaks by the permanent bureaucracy, money-no-object fishing expeditions by hopelessly conflicted prosecutors, domestic surveillance of political opponents by Obama officials, and indifference to most of the preceding by a GOP congressional leadership that has no interest in seeing Trumpism succeed.
Historically speaking, the level of change that we want from Trump, switching from globalism to nationalism, is usually predicated on and requires a Civil War and not politics or elections. We are past the point of a political solution fixing out issues but Americans being Americans nobody wants to take the first shot.
Mark Steyn is usually brilliant in his sometimes caustic and often hu.orous thoughts. He needs a national daily mass media forum. Mark Levin kicked him off his self aggrandizing internet tv site.
Was it because he is better than Levin?
I think Kelly is going to lock down this leaking. Mueller has to be fired.
The constant turmoil is allowing the enemies of America to make huge gain globally because of inability to staff the government, inability to pass legislation. The enemies seize the moments to push forward virtually unimpeded. From Iran’s boats/plane incidents. Russia/China naval/air incidents and of course the nork butterball going from some scuds and a few nukes to ICBMs and 60 or so nukes at a development speed faster than actual R&D countries. (of course they get their wares from their nuke neighbors). The inability to focus on this front alone leaves the US open for horrible events. Of course that is what the obozo/soros/clintoon machine planned all along. The inability to neutralize the Obama moles/employees/spies/leakers and the left shift of the GOP is leading to an ungovernable mess. Hopefully the military side swing Trump has taken with his closest generals will bear fruit soon.
There’s a fourth kind of leak: the fake kind.
I believe a significant portion of the “palace intrigue” type, and the “drip drip Russian investigation” type are totally made up by the press.
There is really no reason to expect the press to wait for an actual story to happen and find an actual inside source (leaker), when it is so much easier to invent one, and there there is no negative consequences for doing so.
Scruples? Professional ethics? Fear of discovery and loss of reputation? Fear of disciplinary action or dismissal by network owners? If you think that, I have some acres in the middle of Lake Michigan to sell you.
Besides, it’s impossible to prove a story was made-up - you can’t verify it with the so-called anonymous source because the source was made-up too, a fact easily masked by the false pretext of anonymity.
Combine that with the anti-Trump left’s voracious appetite for anything that makes Trump look bad, - that indicates infighting, betrayal of his base, weakness, whatever - makes the ratings greedy and vindictive MSM take a no-holds-barred approach to “journalism”.
There is simply no level they won’t stoop to.
