In the 1990s there was a weight loss book called Stop The Insanity. The best thing about it was its name. It had enormous appeal and its writer Susan Powter did very well as a result. But stopping the insanity feels more apropos to the times we live in now. There are plenty of scary and dangerous things going on. We’re unhinged globally and mentally, things feel out of control here in America – a country fighting hard against the vicious left agenda. Those with treacherous and evil intent are trying to take over and assume control.
It’s a war we’re in. Here are three matters of consequence to be concerned about.
In America we have a former black president Barack Obama, who backhandedly participates in subverting the Trump administration from his ‘war room’ in his D.C. home. This is unprecedented. His heedless disavowal of the election tells us he’s the anarchist. He favors anything un-American including the Islamic Republic of Iran and places like Cuba. He sought the oppressive Middle East to express our apologies and regard for their Islamic culture. His need to promote divisive identity politics played a distinct role in the recent occurrence in Charlottesville; to incite antagonism and alienate rather than unite. It worked like a charm, dividing us as intended. We’re told paid actors participated in Antifa and Black Lives Matter, groups armed with lethal weapons – bats, bricks, flamethrowers, even boards with nails, to incite violence while the cops, our men in blue in full riot gear, stood down, direct orders given by their Obama-friendly mayor, Michael Signer – the entire state of Virginia run by progressives.
There can be no defense of Nazis and White Nationalists. But there should also be condemnation for Black Lives Matter and Antifa which is exactly what Trump stated when he condemned both sides saying, “WE ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for.” How unfortunate then, that organizations like the American Jewish Committee ,who should know better, only saw the evil within the White Nationalists while seemingly giving the groups on the left a pass. There was no better side attempting to stop the hate. Black Lives Matter don’t support the Jewish people; they’re rabidly anti-Semitic. Truth is White Supremacists are not promoting terror and there are few of them compared to those on the left who are actively promoting war against the right all over America.
Their goal is to stop a republican president while painting his supporters as fascists. They attack lawlessly with violence, lies, fake news media and special counsels. Those attacked seem unable to effectively fight back. The attackers keep attacking because there’s no consequence, no blowback. That could change but for now it’s left-bashing-right and the intensity is jarring.
The intrepid Donald Trump, their prime target and threat, is depicted as a Nazi. Others like Mike Flynn and Paul Manafort, even Jeff Sessions are bullied or taken down for the same reasons.
The Clinton’s are given a pass for a whole host of criminal acts by those who still control how all this goes down.
This isn’t rational. It’s a mentally unstable construct. Sanity doesn’t promote political injustice in a Democracy with this much hate. We’re at war with ourselves cooked up by Obama’s noxious tactics which are in overdrive.
The good and powerful among us must fight this assault on our freedom. It’s reached a point of profound unacceptability. It needs to stop.
Here’s a second related concern:
Europe is caught up in a disastrous meltdown that led to a recent Gatestone Institute commentary by Giulio Meotti, Muslims Tell Europe:”One Day All This Will Be Ours.” That’s probably true. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán just warned against a “Muslimized Europe”.
Europe is a beautiful place steeped in history but many fear those days are coming to an end as Muslims pour in and Barcelona type terror attacks prevail throughout Europe. European leaders like Angela Merkel appear to have sold out their EU countries. In comparison, Trump has five kids and grandchildren. Lots of passion for America. Lots of love around him. Most European leaders have no children. No next generation to pass anything on. The whole thing is bizarre and self-destructive.
Bringing children into the world is usually an occasion for joy. It is a sign of self-regard and survival, patriotism, an act of mindful love. Europeans are choosing not to have children. They along with their leaders are opting willfully to die-out.
Bringing in millions of unassimilable Muslims who are prone-to-terror and violence is a wanton act of self destruction that feels inexorable yet the beat goes on. Muslims and Africans keep coming.
Why would any rational or sane country want to share their civilization with such barbaric people?
Israel knows plenty about that topic which takes us to our third concern: She’s a sliver of a country amidst an enormous land mass that comprises most of the Middle East, a place that is anti-Semitic, full of violence with no personal freedom, no dignity, no rights for women, homosexuals or children, with the exception of Israel who gives its citizens the privileges all people deserve. Where would you choose to live?
Yet Israel is vilified by the UN, by the Palestinians who advance a repetitive fake history, by European NGO’s. She’s attacked by her terrorist neighbors. Israelis are murdered in their homes, beds, cars, stabbed on the streets, they’re victims of suicide bombs and rockets fired because they dare to be a remarkable Jewish state in their biblical homeland that has high tech industries in Silicon Wadi, ingenious drip irrigation that blooms; they innovate, educate, manifest medical & Technion accomplishments that amaze the world. The IDF and sophisticated weapons keep them strong.
Still, they’ve been forced to give up land for peace – a risible peace solution that common sense declares unfeasible and affirms delusional thinking.
Israel is a country any rational entity would willingly choose to support. But we’re not so rational.
Another cross to bear is the disturbed behavior of American Jews who disproportionately vote for leftist presidents who don’t support Israel or them. And it continues because no Jewish leader with moxie and star power has emerged to challenge this sickness.
Israel and America are democratic allies. Trump’s success is critical in keeping both America and Israel strong.
Islam’s last frontier is the taking of America but not on Trump’s watch. America has kept our world intact. The threats coming at us must be confronted. Our enemies have infiltrated our government and institutions and the ‘good ole guys’ are no longer good guys. The Republicans are a party of do-nothing candy-ass fakes. This is happening while Trump, who bears no blame, is trying to move America forward – their feckless disregard revealed.
A comeuppance is coming. We might be surprised by how it plays out.
Still, Trump offers a rational path to sanity. He supports Democracy, our military, racial tolerance, free enterprise and a strong secure America. The entire Democratic party has embraced anti-Semitic and pro-Islamic views; they are enemies within our republic. The people who support Trump know what he’s up against. They respect his grit and will stand by their man.
Steve Bannon too, who may have changed his venue but will continue to support the same war and advance Trump’s agenda. Despite the rumors, Bannon officially resigned August 7, which took effect on Aug. 14. His words: “If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents — on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America,”
Trump agrees. He tweeted this: “Steve Bannon will be a tough and smart new voice @BreitbartNews...maybe even better than ever before. Fake News needs the competition!”
Bannon is ready to take on their enemies and he’s in a better position to do it. He’s got plans and he’s just beginning with surprises to come. He opted to escape the White House fishbowl and return to Breitbart where he can accomplish more – a rational decision to be sure!
The comeuppance you mentioned is necessary if we are going to right this ship. There are too many swamp creatures who have not been penalized. Trump is on an island. Right now there seems to be a stalemate between Trump & the leaders in congress from his own party. They don’t want to help him get anything passed. This stalemate needs to be broken otherwise the task of draining this enormous swamp may be in jeapordy. Hopefully in 2018 we can vote in some new pro Trump republicans while picking a few more seats. That is our best hope.
Hi Bob…..McConnell is the problem. He is doing what Harry Reid did for Obama except in this instance, McConnell is opposing his own party president, which is congressional treason. What a louse. Paul Ryan was here. I am not a fan but passing on what he told the attendees. I did not attend but he spoke to many upset Republicans claiming that he is trying to get legislation thru and McConnell is stopping it from happening. That’s why there has been so much animosity between Trump and McConnell. Interesting too that McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, is Trump’s Secretary of Transportation. Trump knows how to get even. He has the people and can exert plenty of influence on McConnell’s re-election. I hope he trounces him. I think Trump will take on those in the Republican party who are creating problems. Yes…..comeuppance. That’s pretty much what I see coming. He is working on infrastructure and the wall. Tax reform won’t be any easier than Obamacare. But Trump will find a way. I never count him out. (Having problems with Facebook on this piece. It’s not the first time. Kind of annoying but I’ll figure it out) 🙂 Thanks for your message! Elaine
Wonderful blog!
Trump will prevail and it takes time to clear the swamp. He has already set in motion events that will eventually set our country back on track.
He has appointed a great Supreme Court justice and will appoint others to the court. He has also started to appoint other federal judges across the country. The swamp including both the Democratic Party and Republican old guard are being dismantled .
Trump is also fighting back against Soros, the Clintons, and other groups who were receiving government money. He is stopping the flood.
It is taking time. Do not believe all the negative press and news. We are a strong opponent of the left and are starting to make progress.
Great blog!! Best yet!!
Dr Kohn….thanks sincerely for your comment. Terrific comment by the way. I thank you for your optimism. You have been right about everything you’ve predicted so I have no reason to question your opinion on this piece as well. Great to have your contribution. You know I always appreciate hearing from you! Elaine
I also agree with everything Dr. Kohn says. Does anyone have any concerns about all the loyal Trump people who left the administration. The latest one being Dr. Gorka.?
According to Mr Gorka, who I greatly admire, he believes President Trump is being pulled in a bad direction that has forced individuals like himself to resign. Having Jared and Ivanka so close is not a good thing either. Neither one of them impresses me much. They’re a young indulged couple with little real life experience who inherited their money and they are liberal. Most affluent NY Jews are unfortunately. I would have preferred to see Eric and Don Jr near their father; they’re young too but they’re both far more on the ball. McMaster and Kelly may not be moving Trump in the right direction. I speculate. In any event, having Gorka resign is not a positive sign. Bannon will accomplish more for Trump and our country out of the WH. Too many contentious people were holding him back. Yes. I have concerns. Trump is getting pulled in too many directions though I believe he has an agenda he’ll adhere to.
Is it true Gorka was fired and has no field expertise or language ability in the Middle East?
Are these nasty rumors?
No Zev, I do not believe Gorka was fired. I think he resigned. The fake news industrial complex is hard at work undermining Trump, his administration and most certainly Mr Gorka. Gorka is a patriot. He is returning to Breitbart and will work with Steve Bannon to advance Trump’s agenda. He is confident they will get more done outside the WH than within. He also states that he does not believe Trump is being well served by a number of individuals in the WH. He doesn’t elaborate but I will leave you with a link to a recent youtube video that you will find interesting. It answers your questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4pQUuuoAQ8
Hello Elaine
I enjoy your blogs and appreciate you voicing your opinions. This one is spot on but I believe we are already at our republics “Un-Civil” war. War has changed forms from hand to hand combat in the field of battle to subterfuge within our own republic. The tactic is paramount to “ethnic cleansing” whereby you get rid of a groups identity, prey upon their vulnerabilities (race, bigotry, sexual orientation, spirituality, etc) to enact your agenda. The Sotero/Soros vision is being carried out as we speak. The problem is that the majority either willfully refuse to recognize this or are too focused on their hatred of “what isn’t them” or their agenda. Sotero/Soros of course want the ultimate goal and that is wealth that is driven by their NWO greed. Soros has been an evil genius in carrying this out time and time again in many countries across the globe. His manipulation of our republics first biracial president was pulled off without a hitch. It hit NO snags whatsoever as the republic was so busy patting ourselves on the back for our “diversity”, we lowered the bar of any expectation of accomplishment whatsoever (MLK was rolling over in his grave to watch everything he accomplished, be eroded and dismantled by a person of color). Sotero had such a wonderful opportunity to advance not only race relations, but solve our aging infrastructure issues at a fragile point in our fiscal history. However, given his total lack of experience, he willfully and knowingly subscribed to Soros’ agenda and NWO. Thus the “Uncivil” war was began 8 1/2 years ago and the flames were fanned for a full 8 years. What happened next was of historic proportion as many on the left, who not only elected Sotero 1X, elected him 2X…. awakened and recognized the monster they created. They jumped ship and all of a sudden, the phenomenon of Trump was created. Hardly a conservative, hardly gentile and with the subtlety of a “board upside the head”, the brash New Yorker was elected by the very folks whom elected Sotero 2X ! In essence, the progressives have created the Trump phenomenon. But like they say in baseball, “right man in the right spot to do the job”!!!! President Trump is not a politician and by no means conservative enough for me, but he has my support in this “Uncivil” war 250 % !!!!!! We are on the precipice of holistically subscribing to the progressive ideology and one man stands between Venezuelan type chaos and restoring our republic. I pray for the man nightly and for our republic as well.
Hi Dennis….thanks so much for reading my blog and positing such an intelligent comment. You articulately address the issues quite well. We are definitely in a war of subterfuge. It’s nasty business and hard to keep up with because the viciousness of what we see is sad and admittedly I would like to see the DOJ go after these crooks and there are plenty. McConnell is keeping Trump in short supply at the DOJ, not approving many of his appointees. He’s a guy who has to go. He commits congressional treason. The law must be enforced. I’m redundant because I have been saying that repeatedly. If you’ve been reading my blog I discuss the New World Order, which you raise, and the globalist agenda.
Sotero was a disaster some of us saw back in 2007. It was obvious. American Jews played a pivotal role in bringing that evil to the WH. That is hard to reconcile. I am not sure if his voters recognize what a monster he was/is. Obviously the former Democrats who voted for Trump do!
That’s right…..one man stands between the restoration of our republic and progressive chaos. We see it, you and I, and certainly many others, but I’m perplexed by those who are clueless, not realizing what is going down in our country. They can criticize Trump all they want, and they do unrelentingly, but for me he is our hero. A billionaire who didn’t need this abuse, who rose to the occasion because he saw our country going down the tubes. If not for Trump there would have been Hillary because none of the Republican nominees had the message and understanding to pull it off.
I’m right there with you at 250%!! The Republican party appalls as I state in this piece.
Thank you! Thank you! for your great message. Elaine
Dennis!
You are absolutely correct. We have been at war and continue to be at war.
The left is using Hitler’s methods to gain power.
We are in a position to stop them with Trump. The polls and papers do not tell the true
story of where the people stand.
Thank you for being so clear.
Excellent post by Dennis:
It is amazing as well as appalling that so many well meaning people still do not recognize what is going on within our own country. There is cause for hope though. In 2018 the MAGA grassroots candidates have a chance to win several seats in the congress that are currently occupied by establishment “never Trumpers”. This will give Trump the reinforcements he needs to continue the fight. As it stands now he is fighting by himself. He is being undermined by people in his own administration. Some of public comments we have heard from Gary Cohn & Rex Tillerson have been less than supportive of the man or his policies. One can only imagine the kinds of things that are said privately. The pardoning of sheriff Arpaio should have been a celebration for the freedom of a man who has served his country faithfully & honorably from since the time of the Korean war in the 1950’s. Instead it was met with derision from an arrogant out of touch establishment to further a false narrative. Other than the President himself few if any came to this man’s defense. The message is clear. Trump will not get any support from the current structure. Let’s hope in 2018 we can get him the help he needs to truly “Make America Great Again”
Thanks Bob. Your posts are damn good too. Interesting that you mention Tillerson. I did not like his attitude with respect to Gorka or Trump. He disagreed with Trump’s assertions re: Charlottesville. That was unbecoming and frankly pretty stupid. Gorka’s comments about Tillerson are revealing and you can be sure are based on fact. Bannon & Gorka left for a reason. Tillerson might be one of those reasons along with some others. Trump seems to be moderating his remaining staff. Not sure what he is up to, but I expect it is for a reason…….Sheriff Arpaio is a tough principled conservative who loves America like Trump. I admire him more than I can say. Best part about his pardon, he is running for senate. If he wins, he would be one hell of an ally for Trump. Arpaio loves Trump, way before the pardon. He was entrapped politically. Trump’s pardon is what I would have expected him to do. Cohn is a Jewish liberal. Aren’t most Jews? The never-Trumpers in congress are bought and sold, many of them. Soros can tell you. They’re a despicable lot of villains. Yes……Trump is fighting by himself and doing fairly well considering. I am betting that Trump’s supporters will stand by their man. They see what he’s up against. Best to ‘out’ the bad Republicans and replace the ones he can with those who support Trump, as you suggest. Best too, for Trump to ensure that the individuals who represent him, support his policies and Trump himself. Like you, I hope he can fill congress with some legitimate people. Remember too, this swamp did not begin four years ago, not even eight years ago though Obama intensified the jungle. It has taken time to develop. It will take time for Trump to clean it up, but I honestly believe he will fulfill our expectations.
Great piece Elaine (as usual).
One serious problem is that President Trump made a critical error at the inception of his presidency: he chose to try and work together wth the Republican establishment, which included appointing McConnell’s wife to his cabinet, appoint Priebus as chief of staff, etc. He mistakenly believed that this approach would bring about a Rapprochement with the RINOs and party unity leading to execution of his legislative agenda. BIG MISTAKE. What I believe he should have done is to have created a fund, comparable to Soro’s political war chest, and used the money to create a Trump wing of the Republican Party and focused upon creating political organizations (using the Tea Party existing infrastructure) and let all Rinos coming up for election in 2018 know that unless they support his legislative agenda, he will primary them and, in fact, that he is putting the organization in place to do so and will only back off running a candidate against them if they tow the line. Still may be possible, but he’s got a lot of work to do to catch up. Also suggest that he send his daughter and son-in-law back to New York so they can continue their life as deluded, privileged Leftists.( not Liberals -their are very few Liberals left-using Dennis Prager’s distinctions between the two).
Regarding the larger questions raised in your piece, I must admit that I am not hopeful that anything can be done to stem the tide of America devolving into a quasi socialist European style Welfare State. The central reason for my pessimism is that over the last 50 years, the Left has skillfully brain washed each succeeding generation of students to hate American and Judeo/Christian values and eschew the Liberal values of their parents for the Leftist values of their teachers and professors:, which abandon integration and racial inclusivity in favor of identity politics and Segregation; free speech and right to assembly, by affording these rights only to those who are Leftists, etc. When God and Religion were abandoned in the 60s by the Counter Culture, the deep need for a spiritual connection was filled by transforming the Leftist ideology into a religion. Like Islamists, they don’t believe in free speech for the who disagree with them because they believe they possess Absolute Truth, so there is no reason to listen to another point of view. Like the Brown Shirts, they now use violence to shut down their opponents. Moreover, where the Leftist infiltration of the Media has resulted in a Pravda equivalent mass media, which prides itself on distorting language and propagating the Big Lie, in the deluded belief that they are being Moral (because they feel the higher value is to serve their religion and facts be damned), I don’t see a realistic pathway to defeat the Left. Sorry for my pessimism, but I feat that we are 20-30 years away from devolving into Venezuela. I sincerely hope I’m wrong, but unless Trump uses the Dept of Education to radically transform the way teachers behave and regulate the teaching of politics in the classroom, I fear we are doomed. Some other suggestions are to mount a legal attack against the mayors of cities that order their police to stand down and let Antifa criminals free reign by filing Mandamus actions against these mayors, seeking court orders for them to do their job and protect all of their citizens. Also believe there is a basis for filing a class action lawsuit vs. most Universities for consumer fraud, based on the contention that they intentionally misled students and parents by promising a liberal arts education but delivering an indoctrination into their Leftist Religion.! If there is any chance to turn this radical and disastrous transformation of our country, it will take serious and focused ACTION, not more talk.
Hi Mark…..appointing Elaine Chao as Secretary of Transportation (we both think) might have cemented Trump’s relationship with McConnell. But when you’re rotten you’re only that and nothing aside from a well poised bullet could change that reality. Not so easy to create a Trump wing of the Republican party and I doubt there would have been enough votes to sustain his policies. McConnell is doing what Harry Reid did except his behavior is party-treasonous because he is overtly subverting his president and Republican principles. That should be an indictable offense. No congressman should have that kind of power and at least should be confronted and stopped. Instead we are rendered impotent. McConnell, I daresay, is on someone’s payroll. It’s become that easy to subvert legislation. Money talks and subversion rules unopposed. Corruption so exposed.
Where is the DOJ-with-cojones when you need them? “We’re coming,” I hear Sessions yelling in the background. “Hurry.” we grow impatient.
The left is formidable and the right is cautious, indirect and fakes, many of them. Trump is labeled crass and off-putting. I see him as bold, direct, telling it true. So do the people who elected him and still support him. He isn’t ‘presidential’ we’re told. What exactly is that? A version of Romney who lacked fire or Obama who personified lies. Better to deliver your lies with dignity. Right? No! Wrong!
This swamp reminds me of Houston and I say that with all due respect. Houston is overwhelmed with water and it’s everywhere. It is going to take time to restore those good Texans back to normalcy. It will take time to dredge the DC swamp as well which is not Houston-good. It is deep and dangerous. Trump stepped into it willingly opposed by almost everyone except for the bold people who stood by their man. The establishment we learned are dirty and steeped in arrogant elitism. Imagine where we would be if not for Trump. He exposed these bastards. You’re right about the left but things weren’t getting better anyway until now, because maybe, just maybe, we have a shot if we support Trump. But it won’t happen in 7 months.
There simply aren’t any other alternatives right now. Perhaps there will be if things improve. So my money is on Trump and I know yours it too. I am a bit more optimistic though I get down too. I am perplexed by how things got this bad. I do know the Republican party has been errant. So we have really had one party and they’re a radicalized, Jew & white hating, racist, criminalized party that loves Islam and socialism. Not exactly what we would choose to leave for our kids. We screwed up. I hope the Republican party gets excoriated for their unforgivable treason against the people.
Mounting a legal attack against sanctuary cities is a terrific idea. And universities and mayors. All great. We have control of most of the states. We have control period. Why haven’t we flexed our muscle? We have the power to do it. If anything is going to turn off the people, it will be squandering the power we were given!
Thanks for your message. It kind of got me revved up which is a good thing. 🙂
“The Republicans are a party of do-nothing candy-ass fakes.” Elaine, excellent article!! This is the best description of Republicans I have heard in years. You nailed it! It is easy to get down given the continual march of the Left and their Islamic allies, but you offer some hope. Trump might just be the last man standing and we are right there with him.
“The people who support Trump know what he’s up against. They respect his grit and will stand by their man.” This sums up how his supporters think and feel about our President.
Great bit of writing. you have nice way way of putting it to paper.
Bannon should be kicking ass anytime now. Exciting times are on the horizon !
