President Trump ‘cleanest’ in history
President Trump must be the cleanest president in history.
He has been investigated daily (actually hourly) by six national media giants with left-wing agendas, the lefties in the House of Representatives (led by those paragons of virtue, Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff [eye rolling intended]), who were determined to impeach him, and by a select investigatory council (full of deep state professionals appointed by hold-overs from the Obama regime).
Yet, none of them found any wrongdoing.
There have been unending accusations, of course, but none of them held water.
All the elites have got is extreme hatred for a non-politician who exposed deep corruption in D.C.
The radical left continues a steady drumbeat of anti-Trump propaganda, consisting entirely of fits of temper (because he has revealed what they were planning – the takeover of America by international forces diametrically opposed to free citizens) and they don’t know how to stop him.
A Time for Choosing
This sets the stage for a presidential election on Nov. 3 that will determine America’s future.
If that sounds excessive, let’s consider what is happening in the run-up to the elections.
Mobs are rioting, burning and killing in the nation’s major cities, creating anarchy – a must before any successful revolution.
This will certainly be an important election, vital for those that want to retain a constitutional republic.
The left will continue its efforts to transform America even if it fails this time.
John Martin, retired teacher who writes a column for the Tuttle Times, observed recently that freedom is never free. (Thanks to Kenneth Glazier for sending it to us.)
Martin related the fates of Founding Fathers who signed the Declaration of Independence. Some were slain, others saw their families killed or broken up.
Many saw their wealth destroyed, formerly well-to-do signers dying as paupers. An interesting sidelight to Martin’s column: the colo
An interesting sidelight to Martin’s column: the colonists were not unanimously in favor of a war for independence. In fact only about a third of them were. Another third would have preferred to remain under English rule and another third were ambivalent, according to history we have read.
That should create a sense of wonder that George Washington, the leader of the Continental Army, could have created a military force that defeated the most powerful nation in the world of that time.
Thomas Jefferson commented in a letter: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”
Speech Police Are Coming
Columnist David Harsanyl warns that speech police are coming.
The Philadelphia Inquirer announced several words and phrases that should be banished from the English language.
Those mentioned Peanut Gallery, Eenie, meenie, miney moe, Gyp. and No can do.
The grammarian who authored the piece previously took umbrage at the word, “thug,” noting that President Trump used the word regarding the rioters who were tearing up cities and businesses.
The author didn’t mention that former President Obama had used that word to describe looters and rioters.
What better word for people who destroy public and other people’s property in the name of “peaceful protest.”
What Will Master’s Degree Become?
Harsanyl also says that “master” is also about to get the axe by Twitter. So is slave.
We can’t help wondering what the new language police will use for a degree above “bachelor’s.”
And isn’t that word, bachelor, sexist?
We may all be obliged to carry a Woke dictionary to be able to carry on an acceptable conversation with language police on duty.
Another word to be banned is “blackmail.”
That’s funny since the word comes from 16th century Scotland. Blackmail is derived from “black meal,” the ground
Blackmail is derived from “black meal,” the ground grain highland Scots demanded from lowland Scots in order for the lowlanders to be protected from Highland Scots’ raids on their herds and flocks.
The raids apparently happened frequently, if the lowlander didn’t have black meal insurance. One history source we read reported that if the lowland
One history source we read reported that if the lowland Scot agreed to the black meal deal, the Highlander would also defend the farmer from other Highlanders’ raids.
Those fellows liked to fight, even fighting each other if no English could be found.
The New York City mobsters were behind the times with their protection rackets.
