Trump the Magnificent
In November, when I voted for Donald Trump, my main motivation was to defeat Hillary Clinton. I hoped Trump would be a good president, but the only thing I really knew for certain was that he’d be better than her.
In November, when I voted for Donald Trump, my main motivation was to defeat Hillary Clinton. I hoped Trump would be a good president, but the only thing I really knew for certain was that he’d be better than her.
But I had no idea that he would be as wonderful as he’s been, and as I sit here, he hasn’t even been in office an entire week. Every day has been better than the one before. He’s this combination of Mighty Mouse, who’s come to save the day, and the Energizer Bunny, who barely stops to sleep. He’s already greenlighted Keystone and the Dakota Access oil pipelines. He’s pushing Congress to repeal and replace ObamaCare on the same day. He’s cut off federal funding for abortions around the world. He’s put a hiring freeze on federal employees. He’s carrying through on getting rid of NAFTA and renegotiating Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement. And, for good measure, he cut off funding to sanctuary cities and stopped $220 million that Obama, as a final shot at Israel, had earmarked for the Palestinians.
It’s as if I ordered a tuna fish sandwich and wound up getting lobster.
In comparison, after eight long years, the only good thing Obama ever did was order the Navy Seals to kill Osama bin Laden, and even then, Obama ruined it by pretending he’d done the job with his bare hands, when he reported the news in a statement filled with “I,” “me” and “my.”
In fact, just about the only item on Trump’s agenda I question is the budget-busting trillion-dollar infrastructure bill he wants to pass. How are streets, bridges, airports, etc., the business of the federal government? I thought those were things that cities and states were supposed to oversee.
If it were up to me, I’d prefer that Trump focus on building those things that do come under federal domain; namely, the border wall and the U.S. military.
Trump has also announced that he will be naming his choice for the Supreme Court in the coming days. Some evangelicals are upset that Neil Gorsuch is at or near the top of Trump’s wish list. They suspect Judge Gorsuch isn’t reliably Pro-Life and are holding Trump to his promise to replace Antonin Scalia with someone who would help reverse Roe v. Wade.
I must confess abortion is the one social issue about which I am most conflicted. Morally and emotionally, I hate abortions. But when I think rationally, I dread the notion of 400,000 single black women bringing babies into the world that I am going to have to help support, and I despair over those other 600,000 or so babies born to people who don’t want them. And I don’t kid myself that they would all be adopted by loving parents.
If I got to make the final decision, I would probably rule that up to the 20th week, a woman could have one abortion. But never a second. She would either have to abstain, practice extremely safe sex, undergo sterilization or run the risk of facing a charge of being complicit with an abortionist in committing manslaughter. I would also need to find a way to fine or imprison a serial sperm donor; otherwise, women would carry the entire burden, which is obviously unfair.
A female Secret Service agent, Kerry O'Grady, posted the following message on Facebook: “I would take jail time over a bullet or an endorsement for what I believe to be a disaster to this country.”
The disaster she refers to is the election of Donald Trump. When questioned about it, she said: “It wouldn’t have any effect on my ability to do the job.”
Talk about wanting to have your cake and eat it, too! This ditz felt the need to tell all the cool kids in her Facebook universe how she felt about the man she’d sworn to defend, but at the same time wanted to be sure she wouldn’t lose her job.
I trust she will soon be standing in an unemployment line. But the bigger question, at least to someone like me, who doesn’t tweet and isn’t on Facebook, is why so many people seem to believe that there is some sort of magical immunity in using the social network.
Liberals in the media seem to constantly be tweeting obscenities about Trump, and then seem to be shocked when there’s pushback. Apparently, they labor under the delusion that the First Amendment not only protects their speech, but ensures that their opinions won’t be questioned and that their lunacy won’t have consequences.
One of the delights of Trump’s aggressive agenda is seeing members of the Sierra Club and San Francisco’s environmental zealots running around with their hair on fire because they had assumed that when Obama stopped the oil pipelines in their tracks, it was forever.
The fact is that Keystone and Dakota Access will be great for jobs, energy and the economy. But even that doesn’t compare to the sheer joy of watching these berserk Earthniks with their hair ablaze.
Not too surprisingly, George Soros helped fund the Women’s March, just as he did the Wall Street Occupiers and the Black Lives Matter movement. Behind just about every demonstration that consists of repulsive people tying up traffic and chanting insipid slogans, you can find this former Nazi collaborator.
What astonishes me is that even for a Soros paycheck, you can find so many people willing to march in favor of open borders, transgender bathrooms and abortions on demand, and against cops, white people and men. One would hope those were the jobs we hear so much about, the ones that Americans won’t do.
One bizarre topic that fired up those women who were involved in the anti-Trump demonstrations that took place the day after his inauguration was the tax on female sanitary napkins. The way that Hollywood has-been Ashley Judd went on about it, you would have thought she was planning to lead the Boston Tampax Party, hurling cartons of the things into the bay.
What is it with people these days? They want college to be free. They want to stay on their parents’ health insurance policies until they’re middle-aged. They resent a tax on a personal hygiene product. They want welfare to be a generational birthright. What’s next on their wish list? Free tummy tucks? Free Botox injections?
Hell, the American taxpayer is even expected to pick up the $100,000 tab so that Bradley Manning can be surgically transformed into Chelsea Manning, even though I’ve heard from any number of patriots willing to do the job for free.
Someone had the effrontery to ask Al Gore how it is that none of the natural disasters he predicted would occur by 2016 hadn’t yet come to pass. Mr. The-Sky-Is-Falling immediately leaped into a huge SUV and was driven away, no doubt to some place where the wealthy and gullible would pay him a fortune to expound on climate change, just one of the countless subjects the buffoon knows nothing about.
Gore is proof that you don’t have to be smart to get rich. You need only be smarter than a lot of really stupid rich people.
After a good deal of heated back-and-forth among the members, the Woodmont Country Club (Rockville, MD) has invited Barack Obama to join.
Woodmont is a predominantly Jewish club with an initiation fee of $80,000, which the club has offered to waive for the honor of having Obama on its membership rolls, even though he seemed to take pride in being openly hostile to Israel.
It is one of those dirty little secrets that blacks hate Jews, and remain one of the most anti-Semitic groups in America. It’s a secret that Jews of a liberal persuasion choose to ignore.
The oddest thing of all is that blacks have no greater champions or apologists than Jews. In fact, it has always struck me as peculiar that a great many Jews seem to think blacks walk on water, although they’d be the first to question whether Jesus ever did.
I’ll end with an observation I recently came across: “Education is what you get when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get when you don’t.”
