Friends, in the wake of the latest "No Kings" protests, only one conclusion is possible: a Trumpian monarchy would be infinitely preferable to any "democracy" that empowered the sort of people who attend No Kings rallies. I jest (or do I?), but they were a sorry bunch. Good natured, for the most part, but entirely captive to a series of delusions (of the sort spoon-fed to elderly white liberals on certain "news" networks that need not be named). Ah well. That's the American way: we're free to trumpet our ignorance to our hearts' content! Luckily, these protests will have precisely zero impact on the governance of the country, although the midterms are a different story, and the sheer energy the Left is manifesting could be consequential there.
In other news, President Trump is talking openly about limited special operations missions inside Iran, and about seizing control of Kharg Island, which would effectively give the U.S. control over Iran's oil exports. Of course, arguably U.S. naval dominance already gives us control over, well, everyone's oil exports, to the extent that we choose to exercise said control. The sooner the Iranians figure this out, the better! Now, is all this talk of boots on the ground mere gamemanship that is designed to get the Iranians to concede more in negotiations? Maybe. Maybe not. Quite possibly even Trump doesn't know the answer, as yet.

Dr. Waddy from Jack: Eh, Vive le Roi! Le etat c'est Donald I. Vive le dynastie(?) Trump.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if any in the festive ambience of the "No Kings" "aid and comfort to the enemy " celebration gave any thought to their historically fantastic good fortune. The objects of their touching compassion, latter day Torquemadas, recently gave unmistakeable confirmation of their 7th century view of Iranian domestic dissent. Gee, maybe our country and the military which pays the thousand time levied PRICE of our freedom deserve a little better than these ingrates deign to allow them. I know what they can do (yes, that too): go home and start working on little boats for the use of the soon to be embarked Persian Gulf boat people. ANYTHING will do (and did in '73) as so many of the Aquarian codgers in the "No Kings" ranks fondly recall.
Yes, lets "fundamentally transform " ICE". Let it become" EEE "(Emigration Encouragement and Enablement ) and let the "No Kings" types take full advantage of its services.
