Donald Trump was a bull in a china shop of a President. Or at least that’s the way the media, Democrats, academia, Hollywood and establishment Republicans painted him. And that’s the key to understanding Donald Trump... knowing him through his enemies. Voltaire said: “I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it." That prayer very much applies to Donald Trump. His enemies are ridiculous. They are failures at virtually everything they touch. From destroying American schools and cities and the military, Democrats have made themselves beyond...

President Donald Trump in his first public appearance since leaving the White House will lay out an optimistic vision for America and focus on standing up to China, reviving U.S. manufacturing, dismantling the monopoly of Big Tech, reopening schools, and securing the border, among other topics, according to former Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller.

A large group of migrants, most likely seeking asylum in the United States, were spotted heading north via a rail route known as La Bestia. The train departed Tierra Blanca, Guanajuato, and will likely arrive at the U.S.-Mexico Border within days, according to Breitbart Texas sources. Mexican immigration officials and municipal police in Tierra Blanca watched as hundreds boarded and departed. Their exact destination is unknown, but history suggests the Rio Grande Valley is most likely.

Watching concertina wire installed on the "unscalable" fence encircling the Capitol reminds me of a story told about my Great-Grandfather Harold. It was the 1930s, telephones were new in homes and Harold's neighbor, Hulda, didn't yet have a phone and was constantly using Harold's phone! So Great-Grandpa got out his hammer, nails and lumber and quietly set to work building a fence. "Why ya building a fence, Harold?" Hulda asked, flirtatiously. "Why do you need a fence?" "Well, I'll tell ya, Hulda," responded Grandpa around a mouthful of nails. "It's to keep some chickens in and some chickens out." Hulda...

I find it amazing, but not surprising, that so soon after winning the White House and a majority of the legislative seats, the Democrats cannot be satisfied with their victory, however tainted. Rather, they are after blood, and they want it now. I am one of the few guys over 70 in the U.S. who actually played soccer when he was a kid; part of my junior high and all of my high school years, I lived in the Yakima Valley, where my Hispanic friends all played soccer and where an eclectic, for the time, physical education teacher let us...

A friend called me tonight to tell me that she heard on a conservative website (the name of which I can't remember but it started with an R--not Revolver) that the military has the goods on the Dimmocommie traitors planning a complete takeover of our government and is planning a counteraction. She gave this as a reason for the haste Nancy Pelousy et al want to get Trump out of the way. Sounded way too good to be true, so I had my serious doubts. Anybody hear about this?
