See the spoof on AOC?

Two years of investigating to the molecular level, and no malfeasance found. So who is delusional?

Scott Adams (not a Trumpster) discusses in a humorous way. 

Stuff does not appear by magic, even if Amazon makes it feel that way. 

Many freighters do take a small number of passengers. This guy took one from Germany of Charleston (a great town to visit - one of the best). People tell me everybody ought to try one freighter trip. Get a lot of books read, but BYOB. And a date, I think.

Of course there was no Trump Russia collusion. It was a Clinton/Obama hoax to damage Trump, and it has done so with years of smears. Truly disgusting, even by low American political standards. All collusion with Russia was done by the Clinton team. (This was not investigated, of course.)

So, given no wrongdoing, they have moved on to obstruction. It's a fact that obstruction is wrongdoing, even when there is no underlying wrongdoing. 

Problem is, Trump behaved like any angry and innocent victim of a nasty persecution. Donald "You're fired!" Trump fired off at all of this, frequently, and publicly, because he foresaw an endless assault on his presidency by political enemies.

Dems will try to keep this active for the next five years. It's not good for the country, but that's not the point. It's all they have.

One unfortunate effect of all of this bs is that it has made it difficult for the US to work with the Russians, a third-world country but oil rich with nuclear weapons. Trump has been too harsh with them because they are not enemies, just sneaky sleazes.

I think Mueller exhaustion has set in, except for NPR and MSNBC. 

Outside of college campi, the victim role doesn't garner much respect in life, does it? Blame, and a sense of victimhood even if justified, reduce a person's dignity. 

As we approach the end of Lent, there are still a few hours left for fearless self-scrutiny. Blame and victimhood are, in the end, all about bad sorts of pride. So it seems to me.

Trump-haters are only left with ad hominems: "lizard brain," "racist Hitler," "ignorant thug," whatever.

As Adams (not a Trumper) says. My list:

- Fewer wars, more peace
- Tiger won the Masters
- Great economy, nobody without a job
- Prison reform
- A bit of sanity in the Dept of Education
- Calm with North Korea, heading in good direction
- Trade sanity with Mexico, and on the way with China
- Terrorism on the wane
- NATO nations headed towards paying their share
- Energy and climate issues close to being solved with Gen 4

The only big unsolved issue is illegal immigration. What would Trump need to accomplish in a 2nd term? Medical care insurance reform of some sort? We'd all appreciate more choices in medical insurance. Well, national debt is not good either.

India has a new industry in shipbreaking. It's a tough life.

One of the more difficult approaches in the world

What's the right number per year?

And what's the number sanctuary cities will accept?

Why does CNN refer to illegal immigrants as garbage?

Leftists Whipping Themselves Into a Jacobin Frenzy

Why the intensity of hate? I often disagree with others politically, but I never hate them. I didn't even hate Obama or Hillary. I sort-of liked Obama, but few of his views. Hillary? Disliked her, but no hate.  What's with all the hate?

Replace Pence with Candace, at least. It's not just her pushback, but her entire presentation to Congress:

I will not pretend to be a victim in this country. I know that that makes many people on the left uncomfortable. I want to talk about real issues in black America. I want to talk about real issues in this country, real concerns.

The biggest scandal--this is my last sentence--in American politics is that Democrats have been conning minorities into the belief that we are perpetual victims, all but ensuring our failure. Racial division and class warfare are central to the Democrat Party platform. They need blacks to hate whites, the rich to hate the poor. Soon enough it will be the tall hating the short...
