THE UNSTOPPABLE TRUMP TRAIN

Hard to know which body is held in lower esteem, the Congress or the media. But for a long time the media thought they were invincible, based largely on their success after forming the JournOlist in 2007--a cabal of 400 leftists who vowed to destroy anyone who said a single bad word about the poseur "president" Barack Obama.

It Had to Be the Smirnoff

It was a good plan. After their thunderous loss in the presidential election, our country's premier Olympian liars--Democrats all--put their heads together to develop a plan to accuse the newly elected president of collusion with our enemy, to get him impeached forthwith, and ultimately to preserve the communist/jihadist government that it took the previous eight years of formal power and a hundred years of planning to accomplish.

The Juggernaut and the Jerks

Since President Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2017, a number of people have scrupulously monitored his accomplishments. They include Sean Hannity’s producer Sweet Baby James, Gateway Pundit founder Jim Hoft, conservative commentator and former presidential candidate Gary Bauer, and Jeff Dunetz, creator of the blog The Lid, among others. The listing below was compiled by the above-mentioned people and represents many but not all of the non-stop accomplishments of President Trump––the juggernaut––during his first three months in office.

Boo-Hoo to the in decline, whining Progressives!

It's easy to deride the aberrant behavior of the leftists we've been unhappily witness to, both over the course of the presidential campaign and particularly since Donald J. Trump ascended to the presidency on November 8th, 2016. After all, they've never recovered from the Bush v Gore race of 2000!

The March to Nowhere

A day or two before the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump on January 20th, 2017, I watched a reporter interviewing five attractive, intelligent, articulate women from California, who were all making the long cross-country trip to the Women's March on Washington on January 21st. Amazingly, not one woman was able to express a persuasive or even rational reason for the trip, but instead resorted to time-worn platitudes, bromides, and leftist talking points about "unity" and "solidarity" and "getting the message out." Um... what message?

An Execrable Coup--An Exhilarating Counter-Coup

In 2009, America experienced a genuine coup d'état, exquisitely formulated and flawlessly executed after decades of planning by the socialists, communists, and jihadists among us who loathe America and have wished for nothing less than transforming our great country into a mecca of far-left, anti-American policies, punctuated by preposterous liberal constructs like political correctness and multiculturalism, and ultimately subservient to Sharia law.

Kerry Exits as Congenital Liar and Traitor to America & Israel

Nothing could have surprised--indeed shocked--the national and international public more than learning through a Boston Globe article by Jennifer Anne Perez on February 2, 2003, that U.S. Senator John Kerry--who presented himself as a born-to-the-purple "Boston Brahmin" of Irish-Catholic ancestry--was in fact the grandson of Czech Jews.

Obama's Treachery Exposed

After watching all the pomp and circumstance of the presidential inauguration of January 20, 2009, I remember turning to my husband Steve and saying: "The sole mission of Barack Obama and his henchmen is to destroy Israel."

I Have Two Words for Donald Trump--Harry Truman!

As everyone knows, history repeats itself, or as the late great Peter Allen sang, "Everything old is new again." Once upon a time, Democrat president Harry Truman effectively ended World War II by dropping the first nuclear bombs ever detonated on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, on August 6, 1945, resulting in multi-thousands of deaths. It was a decision that promised to end his presidency.

Why Trump Will Prevail

The Trump campaign should be throwing thank-you bouquets at Hillary’s minions for unearthing an 11-year-old video of the businessman speaking raunchily about women to Hollywood Access host Billy Bush. Why?

The Art of the Steal

We're a little more than two months from the November 8th election and everyone knows that all Democrats, a good number of Republicans and conservatives, and almost the entire media have been agonizing over and militating against the fact that billionaire businessman Donald Trump is the last man standing in a contest that pits him against Crooked Hillary for the presidency of the United States.

Melania Wronged

Like the millions who tuned in this week on the first night of the Republican convention in Cleveland to see Melania Trump's speech, I was dazzled by her beauty, struck by her sincerity, impressed by her fluency in a language not of her native tongue, touched by her obvious love for her husband and family and country, and impressed by her quiet confidence and sense of self.

The Twisting Noose

When I think about the slow and inexorable--but, of course, inevitable--political demise of Hillary Clinton, I am reminded of T.S. Eliot's poem, "The Hollow Men," which ends with this haunting refrain:

Only Donald Trump Can Counter the Coup D'état of 2008

Of the 16 "establishment" candidates the non-politician businessman Mr. Trump defeated to become the presumptive Republican presidential nominee of 2016, he, more than any of his former rivals, seems unabashedly patriotic, a man who appreciates, takes pride in, and feels deeply about America's illustrious (and complicated) history. That history includes:

Sane Jews Do Not Vote for Hillary

At the beginning of January 2016, an organization called NORPAC--a lobby whose mission is to support candidates and sitting members of Congress "who demonstrate a genuine commitment to the strength, security, and survival of Israel"--invited its members to "an exclusive and intimate" cocktail reception for Hillary Clinton for people willing to pay $2,700 per individual or $5,400 per couple.

#ChicagoThugs, #PatheticInChicago, #ChicagoFailure

Who can forget the clueless thugs protesting last May in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, holding up their brand new shiny placards––mmmm, where did those pricey things come from?––and expressing rage at….what?
  • Not at the lack of esteem they believed white America owed to the black-lives-matter movement.
  • Not at the shooting a year earlier of Michael Brown (for which police officer Darren Wilson was exonerated by a Grand Jury) or the phony “hands-up/don’t shoot” mantra.
  • Not at the devastating fact that under Barack Obama the unemployment figures for African-Americans were––and remain––at record sky-high levels. According to Larry Elder at Townhall.com, “By every key economic measurement, blacks are worse off under Obama…in some cases, far worse off.”
  • Not at the tragic fact that black-on-black crime was––and remains––the single biggest killer in the black community (other than abortion).

"An Overthrow of the Government"

Sure enough, presidential candidate Donald J. Trump racked up impressive statistics in his Fox News debate tonight, effectively trouncing the competition that included Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Why a Rock-Ribbed Conservative Like Me Supports Donald Trump 100%

I'm watching the fierce South Carolina primary contest among the six remaining candidates for POTUS and a few things strike me as astounding. The first is that all the seasoned politicians on stage--Governors Bush and Kasich, Senators Cruz and Rubio--have been relegated to straggler status by the non-politician in the race, billionaire businessman Donald Trump. (Dr. Ben Carson, the other non-politician, is hanging in there but not lighting any fires).
