It’s Time to Get Real About Our Enemies – American Greatness

It’s Time to Get Real About Our Enemies – American Greatness
"...For ordinary Americans—from the top to the bottom of the economic spectrum, black, white and brown—President Trump has brought good times. 
Except for the screeching drama queens in the Democratic Party and among #TheResistance—and our serious mass immigration problems—life is good and the country is secure.
In a sensible world, we would be basking in this period of unprecedented prosperity and peace.
The country should be unified and full of bonhomie. 
The whole world has advanced to inconceivable levels of global peace and prosperity. 
Life is easier, healthier, and more comfortable for more people than ever before in history.
Socialism and Communism—those tragic sisters from the 1800s that led to the greatest human suffering, poverty, and mass starvation in human history—should barely be remembered.
Instead, they are ascendant in the Democrat Party. 
Cultural Marxism and socialism are the new Democrat chic. 
The entire country is in an uproar. 
Everyone feels a sense of doom and gloom..."

Dems to strike 'so help you God' from oath taken in front of key House committee, draft shows | Fox News:

What Would the Cure for Cancer Mean? - The Rush Limbaugh Show
"RUSH: The Jerusalem Post headline: “A Cure For Cancer? Israeli Scientists Say They Think They Found One – ‘We believe we will offer in a year’s time a complete cure for cancer.’” A small team of Israeli scientists think they might have found the actual clue opening up or unlocking the secrets to cancer that will facilitate a complete cure.

Dan Aridor, talking about a new treatment being developed by his company: “We believe we will offer in a year’s time a complete cure for cancer. Our cancer cure will be effective from day one, will last a duration of a few weeks and will have no or minimal side-effects at a much lower cost than most other treatments on the market. Our solution will be both generic and personal.”

Election Reform Fraud: Democrats' Plan Would End American Democracy As We Know It | Investor's Business Daily:

'Election Reform' Fraud: The media have already started a drumbeat in favor of the first major legislation proposed by the new Democratic Congress, the so-called "For The People Act Of 2019." It is, in fact, a dangerous piece of legislation that, if enacted, would end American democracy as it has existed for over over 240 years.

Crisis at our southern border is real and growing worse without the wall | TheHill

Crisis at our southern border is real and growing worse without the wall | TheHill:

The federal government has reopened, but the talking points pushed by the Democrats about the southern border remain the same. They falsely say “there is no crisis.” They claim that a barrier or wall would do nothing to curb illegal immigration or drug smuggling, which is demonstrably untrue. The “humanitarian challenge” that members of Congress refer to is actually an inundation of migrants at the border that hurts the overall mission of law enforcement officials and threatens to crash the system.
What is new here is the unprecedented and growing surge of migrant family arrivals at our border with Mexico over the past year. Last month alone, more than 27,000 family units, defined as at least one adult and child together, were processed into custody.

Can the Republic Survive the Mainstream Media?

Can the Republic Survive the Mainstream Media?
"People complain of the cultural turmoil and upset in the country without realizing that the mainstream media – which nowadays includes almost all broadcast media as well as the digital giants Facebook, Google, and Twitter, and others – are the main determinants of the mood and cultural milieu of the United States. 
At this point it is inescapable that unless the mainstream media are happy, we cannot, as a society, be happy.  
While almost nobody fully grasps the profound cultural influence of the media, we all respond to media-fostered agitation when they’re upset – notably when conservative/Republican ideas are in the ascendance – and the relative calm and quiescence when their like-minded, left-leaning Democrats are in charge.
A sad, perhaps damning adjunct in terms of cultural survival is that while we feel the swings in mood of the culture, most of us have little idea about the media’s pivotal influence..."

Duke University Official Steps Down After Telling Students To Speak English
"A professor at Duke University stepped down on Saturday after screenshots of an email she wrote warning Chinese students from conversing in their native language went viral on social media.
"I encourage you to commit to using English 100 percent of the time" the email written by Megan Neely read.  

Neely, who was the head of the Master of Biostatistics at the university's School of Medicine, sent the email to first and second-year students in the program.
Neely went on to urge her students to "to commit to using English 100 percent of the time" while on campus or in a professional setting.
In her email to students, Neely wrote that two faculty members had approached her to complain about several first-year international students who were speaking Chinese in the student study and lounge areas The Chronicle, Duke's campus newspaper, reported.
"They were disappointed that these students were not taking the opportunity to improve their English and were being so impolite as to have a conversation that not everyone on the floor could understand," Neely wrote in bolded, underlined typeface.
...The dean of the university's School of Medicine, Mary Klotman, apologized for Neely's email in a letter to the program's students.

Big-government environmentalists who predict the demise of humanity if we do not hand them the keys to the world economy would be surprised to learn it is economic freedom that better supports a sustainable environment, not government control.
Environmental stewardship does not start with centralized control of an economy. Rather, the protection of property rights promotes environmental stewardship. As seen in the aaccompanying chart, economic freedom strongly correlates with clean environments.

Trump's Salary On Friday, the Trump... - Terri Zandbergen-Whiteman

Trump's Salary On Friday, the Trump... - Terri Zandbergen-Whiteman

"Trump's Salary

On Friday, the Trump administration released their annual report to Congress on White House Office Personnel. 
It includes the name, status, salary and position title of all 377 White House employees. 

The report also said that Trump decided not to take a dime of his salary; instead he donated it to an amazing cause! See below.

The report also showed that President Trump is far better at saving money than Obama was. 
The total annual White House salaries under Trump are $35.8 million vs. $60.9 million under Obama, a savings of $25.1 million. 
Here are some other key findings:

• There are 140 fewer employees on White House staff under Trump than under Obama at this point in their respective presidencies.
• Thirty-nine fewer staffers are also dedicated to The First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS). Currently, there are only five staffers dedicated to Melania Trump vs. forty-four staffers who served Michelle Obama (FY2009)
• However, it's what the report said Trump did with this salary that has everyone talking.
• Instead of taking his salary, Trump donated all $400,000 to the Department of the Interior where it will be used for construction and repair needs at military cemeteries! AMAZING! It's so great to have a President who loves our brave military men and women so much!

Oh, and where's the media coverage of this? 

That's right, they don't cover anything decent that the President does...

BUT WE WILL! PLEASE, PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO ALL YOUR EMAIL PALS AND OTHERS!"

How socialism turned Venezuela from the wealthiest country in South America into an economic basket case | Fox News

How socialism turned Venezuela from the wealthiest country in South America into an economic basket case | Fox News:

Venezuela was once the wealthiest country in South America, but in recent years millions have fled the country amid mass starvation and violence after socialist policies were enacted and government seized private industries.
Now, as Venezuelans struggle against the country’s current dictator, some Venezuelan exiles in the U.S. are desperately warning Americans to avoid going down a similar path.

Victor Davis Hanson--Attack of the Techno-Lynch Mob – American Greatness

Attack of the Techno-Lynch Mob – American Greatness
"The Covington Lie offered the perfect occasion for the electronic mob to pounce—after temporarily licking its wounds following the BuzzFeed fake news hysteria.
And it did so without shame or even much regret after the fact, as Jason Leopold, the BuzzFeed fabulist, ceded center stage to a kindred serial prevaricator, Nathan Phillips.
The latter in his 15 minutes of fame did not make a major statement that was not contradicted by an earlier statement or by the facts.
The entire psychodrama boiled down not to what the facts on the ground showed, but rather who each party was perceived innately to be.
Add that all up and we had a Medieval morality play ripe for exploitation.
Like racing dogs leaving their starting blocks, the electronic mob sprinted out in competition to lynch the Covington kids within seconds of the initial staged video posting that purportedly showed a supposedly solitary native American “swarmed” by a crowd of young smirking Brett Kavanaughs intent on bullying and blocking the “elder’s” passage..."
