Friends, hearty kudos to President Trump and First Lady Melania on their very successful state visit to England, which helped to solidify the "special relationship" we have with the Brits, and which, because of its smoothness and sheer splendor, irritated lefties to no end! I thought the touching words that Trump and King Charles shared about the closeness of our friendship were well chosen, and I expect that, despite the machinations of our common enemies (neo-Marxists rising to the top of that particular list), our alliance will continue to prosper.
In other news, Jimmy Kimmel is...cancelled? He's suspended, for sure, and none too soon, if you ask me. His latest "jokes", which labeled the assassin of Charlie Kirk "MAGA" (for no reason except that Kimmel is an arrogant lunatic), were a bridge too far. We've seen quite a few lefty agitators in Hollywood and in the news media bite the dust in recent months. Here's hoping we can add Kimmel to that Wall of Shame!
Dr. Waddy from Jack: I am in complete sympathy, empathy and enthusiastic agreement with your comments on our President's reception in our mother country. God bless America and Rule Britannia, God save the King! I watched only a little of the banquet and the procession but it certainly appealed to my Anglophilia; I really enjoy British pageantry.
ReplyDeleteIts redeeming to see such affirmation of our special relationship with this historically great nation to whom so much of the world owes its political stability and consequent strength in this hard world.
It made me think of the very intriguing scene in the outstanding HBO series "John Adams" where Adams has a post war audience with George III. I hope it was authentic because it was very dramatic; deference was shared between them even though George was a King and Adams was an Ambassador. Of course the "relationship" had yet to suffer through another war and the burning of Washington D.C. by British troops and a near clash in 1861. Even in the 20th century the U.S. Navy had plans for fighting the Royal Navy if necessary; perhaps if Lord Halifax had ascended in 1940 and given the fleet to Germany it might have come about. De nada, despite recent "readjustments" this present tribute to the friendship and respect so hallowed by FDR and Churchill was very redeeming I think.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: Far left commentators on Mr. Kirk's assassination are encountering deserved sometimes reflexive reproach for their "insensitive" (a term which should fill far leftists with shame, due to their constant use of it for convenient castigation of any who trouble them) remarks. Maybe they will learn a little respect from the experience. But probably not and that is ok. America is on the offensive now and the incipiently totalitarian "American" far left is reeling and that is how it should be.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: An article today in RealClearPolitics was entitled approximately"What would a big tent Democrat party be like".
ReplyDeleteImagine it is January , 1945. The appalling success of the German onslaught in the Battle of the Bulge has brought the Allies to the negotiating table. " Our ruling Nazi party will consent to abandon some of its most extreme views; eg. the death camps will be closed; it is obvious that they have been a source of contention and have earned for us an unfortunate reputation. You can trust us . "
So far lefties, you don't like being compared to Nazis? How does it feel? If you don't like it stop doing it to us!. Your passionate advocacy of the free and convenient killing of unborn humans has resulted in a holocaust of innocent infants since 1973. So you have no moral right to affix that detested label on anyone else.
Anyway, as it would have been madness to trust the Nazis in WWII negotiations , so it is most unwise to think that a Dem party reluctantly moved to disingenuously "renounce"some of its defining principles since it let the far left take command of it, is advancing anything other than an insincere ploy to buy time to regroup. The far left captured dem party must be completely defeated and marginalized. Their pusillanimous surrender to "60s style radicals says it all about them. There is plenty of room in the American polity for responsibly contested views without including a party which allowed itself to become the vehicle for marxist America haters and in doing so condemned itself, yes, like the Nazis, who are now a pitiful miniscule faction. Until the Dem party is similarly politically reduced, they will pose a fundamental threat to all that America cherishes.
How can we all help? First by resolving never to vote for a Dem for office at any level. Even that good neighbor who is running for local office as a Dem will be constrained to support a national party with only the most demonstrated destructive intentions.
