Friends, this week's Newsmakers show looks back on my trip to England and all I learned there. Trump's triumphant visit to Windsor while I was "in country" solidified the "special relationship" we have with the U.K., and of course as an Anglo-American I couldn't be happier. Meanwhile, Britain itself is undergoing a political transformation, as the two traditional leading parties, Labour and the Conservatives, are in their death throes, and a rising new populist force, Reform, looks set to shine the light of Trumpism on all things British. Oh boy! Check out this week's show, and brace yourself for profundity!

The big piece of news this weekend is apparent progress in ending the war in Gaza -- the key word being "apparent", because we've seen this pantomime before. It usually ends with an apartment building exploding and dissolving into a cloud of dust. There is quite a bit of exhaustion on both sides, however, so maybe this time will be different?
Dr. Waddy from Jack: Welcome back and thanx for taking time while you were in our well loved mother country to keep WaddyisRight going.
ReplyDeleteRe the Newsmaker broadcast: I am very glad for your observation that our special relationship with the UK is alive and well. It would be tragic for it ever to be sundered. And the present promising position of Farage's Reform party is a very hopefull development. A confident surge of and possibly an actual governmental empowerment of Farage's Trump like determination to defeat the curse of the incipient Marxist totalitarianism atavistically advanced by a Labor Party which was never really embraced by Brits, which even in Labor's executive advent in 1945 in the UK's post war austerity was always too far left, is to be celebrated I think. As you say, it could be a very significant turn in the UK's politics ; I think it may be one which preserves that nation's historically evolved very great character. The UK was reminded in such a timely manner of its essential integrity and worth by PM Thatcher and just in time to prevent Marxist unions from taking over. Farage may well prove her successor in redeeming the grand and good Britain.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: It is so good to see a combat vet like Hegseth leading ,in both authoritative and personal physical example , the return of our armed forces to common sense, to their return to a fundamental mission never doubted but for the '60s advent of America haters who correctly perceived that our military protects our core American values from foreign foes and ignorant and ungrateful domestic detractors,and the fanatics they unleash.
ReplyDeleteHis declaration that necessary evaluations of physical fitness will be governed by male standards, to which ALL are welcome to strive to comply , is a breath of common sense and fresh air
and fresh air is unendurable by the smoky, dreamy far left. They have only their tired and worthless accusation of "sexism" to offer in return. Let them stew in their own juices. They deserve it! In their time they had no tolerance for any doubt of their counterintuitive views and tyrannically imposed intentions.
Those poor dears in the MSM: they simply cannot comprehend what was common knowledge before the ''60s, the contradiction of which would have been regarded as at best foolishness and at worst treason.Our country's peace is guaranteed only by strength - WWII reaffirmed it - and our armed forces manifest that strength against a world of amoral danger.
So SecWar Hegseth's presentation is reflexively seen by the MSM as "icky" , chauvinistic and "Nazi". They are incapable of seeing it as anything else. Luckily , their ever accelerating descent to the level of ridiculous "professional" wrestling is thereby boosted.
The same may be said of the "touchy feelies" in government who wax offended by such "militaristic" (whatever the Dickens that means) vituperation. Don't like it youse? Apply for visas to heavenly N. Korea then and relieve common sense America of your vicious yesteryear bigotry.
