President Trump has rejected the status quo ante in American foreign policy. He has rededicated the United States to the support of Israel. He has withdrawn the United States from the disgraceful deal with Iran. He has tightened the sanctions regime with the intent of disabling the mullahs. He has shaken up matters with the North Korean regime in the interest of putting their nuclear weapons program on the path of termination. He has now come out for the removal of the socialist dictator of Venezuela. I could multiply the examples, but you can fill in the blanks. In each of these cases, Trump is right and Obama was wrong.
Yesterday President Trump went to Florida International University in Miami to give a speech on Venezuela before a friendly and raucous audience. I am unable to find either the text or the video on the White House site. I have posted a news video of the speech in its entirety below. It is a gloriously Reaganite speech; it is a great speech. In it Trump stands for freedom against the forces of socialism, tyranny and immiseration.
Trump notes in the course of the speech that National Security Advisor John Bolton is in the house. Readers of Surrender Is Not An Option will infer that he had a hand in the speech. He is an old-fashioned conservative.
Trump is forcing the issue in Venezuela. The United States is on the right side. It is leading in the push to get Maduro out of there. Events are coming to a head. This speech is part of the pressure intended to produce a constructive outcome. It merits your attention.

Which explains the effort by the left to give 16yr old students the right to vote at the federal level. By then they have had 10 years of PC indoctrination and little or no responsibility for their survival.

If Trump is flawed, then I'd love to know who is unflawed? He's chosen a lot of quality gems :- ) |
Can you imagine what this president could accomplish if he had the full backing and support of the Republican party?
It’s actually astonishing what he’s accomplished without their support.
He’s making statements designed to cause the socialists a bit of angst.....much more effective to say, “Not only will we not become like you, but we will also end up being the end of your doctrine as a working model.”, than to stop at, “We won’t become you.”
Yes, I remember all of that. One man can only do so much.
