Yes, indeed.

Go, Trump, MAGA!

[JennysCool]

Fantastic work by VDH. This is complete TRUTH.

Excellent article, good analogy.

MAGA.

American laxity was seen as naivete to be taken advantage of, not as generous concessions to be returned in kind.

This dynamic is something liberals never understand. Most of the world is opportunistic, not altruistic, and not motivated by any benevolent impulse.

[Robert DeLong]

VDH, one of my favorites for sure.

[aquila48]

Another excellent piece by VDH.

The article's focus is on foreign policy, where Trump has excelled, contrary to the expectations of even some of his followers. I think that Trump satisfies a lot of things that the EU especially has come to publicly ridicule about American foreign policy and privately need desperately (and we'd have to pull toenails out to hear that admitted). 0bama was the President that everyone loved publicly and despised privately; Trump is the opposite.

For me the game-changer was that stunning speech in Poland. After that nothing was really the same. That was only last July. Nine months ago tomorrow. Think for a moment of what has happened since.

It is ironic how desperately the political opposition in this country has clung to the old, rotten anchors of the last administration, "progressives" who are doing their very best to halt progress and return to the old, cozy suppositions of internationalist elitism and relentless social engineering directed from above. These fancy themselves on the "right side of history", a history that is about to sweep them away into the irrelevancy they deserve. They aren't going away quietly. And it doesn't matter.

Good article.

We are in the midst of a micro “standing up to bullies” on school playgrounds. Every school has signs about bullying and tells the kids they don’t have to take it, they are to tell authorities.

And yet in the macro, our country is supposed to cower in the corner and just keep handing over our lunch money, for fear we will be called a name.

Growing up as a kid I would sometimes hear my Dad and my uncles talk about how we were being taken as fools(’’saps’’ my Dad would say) by the rest of the world. And they would all talk about the need for a strong president, just the kind of man Donald Trump is. Well, today we have that man. Unfortunately my Dad is still a Democrat and my uncles, all deceased now, were Democrats too.

Our negotiating people,politicians and business were to busy making nice lucrative private deals for themselves and were not worried about the country.
Ask McConnell and his wife,Hillary,Huma,Valerie Jarrett etc.
That’s why having a rich person is sound as President before he takes office

[McGavin999]

The point is to untangle the darn knots. How that is accomplished is not as important than the fact it is DONE!
