Donald Trump’s Donald Trump Moment

Donald Trump showed himself as the right man at the right time in his remarks during the public swearing-in ceremony of Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Monday night. He stuck by Kavanaugh when others would have certainly abandoned him. Consider that Ronald Reagan ditched Douglas Ginsberg because he copped to smoking pot. Trump does not best the Gipper in an understanding conservative philosophy. Methinks he bests most of his predecessors in the guts department. You can’t win when raising the white flag becomes a habit.

“On behalf of the nation, I’d like to apologize to Brett and the entire a Kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you've been forced to endure,” the president told those gathered. “Those who stepped forward to serve our country deserve a fair and dignified evaluation, not a campaign of political and personal destruction based on lies and deception.” He called Kavanaugh “proven innocent.” He told Kavanaugh’s daughters that their father is a good and decent man.

And in saying all this, he said something to Kavanaugh’s underhanded pursuers. It begins with “f” and ends with “u.” You can play hangman on the letters in between.

I did not tune-in to MSNBC to gauge the reaction. I don’t think I needed to. Sometimes one need not possess the gift of ESP to know what others think. 

In an age of hyper-political correctness, America needed a leader neither easily cowed nor prone to adopting the defeatist language his detractors would impose on him. Rather than appease his enemies, Trump fights them. And in doing so, he exposes their indecency. The more Trump’s enemies describe him as beyond the pale, the more they migrate beyond the pale. This ugly episode proves as much.

What the hell is "The Deep State"?

I defy you to explain it to me WITHOUT looking like a paranoid lunatic.

Perhaps the term Administrative State would serve to quiet your rising case of the vapors. It is the same thing, and refers to the great mass of unelected bureaucrats (mostly from the Left) who labor in government below the surface of our usual political turmoil, but serve mostly the agenda of the Democrat Party.

Clearly, you've already made up your mind about yours truly, but if you really wish to know why I am a conservative and not a Leftist, I'd urge you to watch this recent speech by Andrew Klavan at the very liberal University of Wisconsin. I've endeavored to explain it, but it is obvious that I have managed mostly to raise your hackles.

He nails it . . .

Dems Discovering Losing Is No Fun

BRETT KAVANAUGH, DEMOCRATS, DONALD TRUMP

I got about 17 minutes in before I was too bored to continue.

Nothing he said really stood out... Perhaps you could summarise it for me.

Though I do agree that BOTH sides say incredibly stupid things.

Speaking of; what is "The Agenda of the Democratic Party"?

Is it nefarious?

That was the summary, and no one does it better.

Oh, well, so it goes.

Brutality is in the Eye of E. Holder

And of course, Holder's armed New Black Panther pals will handle the polling places.

The Democrat agenda? The power to control people's lives. By any means necessary. (If that's not too boring for you.)

The same can be said for conservatives who want to tell women they have no reproductive rights and gay people that they cannot marry the one they love.

What do you fear the Democrats want to control?

They won't take away your guns, they won't stand up to lobbyists and they won't make any significant changes to combat climate change.

So why the hell would you fear them?  Everything you believe they will take away from you is safe due to cowardice, corruption and ineptitude.

So relax!
