COLUMN OF THE WEEK
John Hinderaker 1/20
Trump: If You Thought I Was Kidding, Think Again!
Donald Trump’s inaugural address was historic. Not because
it was good, although it was very good indeed. But because it didn’t give an
inch. Trump’s message to the world was: if you thought I wasn’t serious; if you
thought I might go native; if you thought the weight of responsibility might
force me to accept the conventional wisdom; forget it. I meant every word I’ve
been saying for the last two years.
There were very few fancy turns of phrase, and those felt
slightly false. For the most part, Trump’s sentences were like sledgehammers.
He appealed strongly for unity among the American people, but he didn’t back
off from his critique of the Washington establishment, most of which was
assembled before him. Washington has enriched itself at the expense of the
American people, Trump said, but that will end.
At some points, the speech was bracing. He pledged that the
“civilized world” would wipe radical Islamic terrorism off the face of the
Earth. That is something that most politicians wouldn’t say–not “radical
Islamic terrorism” as much as his reference to the civilized world.
Some will say that Trump’s pledges to bring manufacturing
jobs back to the U.S. and to reform our lavishly funded, but failing, public
schools have no more prospect of success than Obama’s promise to stop the seas
from rising. Time will tell. But after today, no one can doubt that Trump
intends to put American interests first and to give priority to the “forgotten
Americans” who more than anyone else fueled his campaign.
Another good read: “President Donald Trump's inauguration
speech was not meant to bridge political divides. Instead, it was a clear and
concise declaration of war against the established order.”

OTHER COLUMNS
“There’s something perverse about an ideology that views the
disposing of an unborn child in the third trimester of pregnancy as an
indisputable right but the desire of parents to choose a school for their kids
as zealotry. … Democrats often tell us that racism is one of the most pressing
problems in America. And yet, few things have hurt African-Americans more over
the past 40 years than inner-city public school systems.
-David
Harsanyi
“President
Trump should build the wall, secure the border, impose tariffs, cut taxes, free
up the American economy, bring the factories home, create millions of jobs and
keep us out of any new wars. With rare exceptions, wars tend to be fatal to
presidencies.”
-Pat Buchanan

When you read an article proclaiming that, for the third
year in a row, last year was the hottest year on record, you might expect that you
will get numbers, measurements, and a statistical margin of error. You would be
wrong, and here’s why. “Why NYT Hid the
Numbers For The ‘Hottest Year On Record’”
And this: “The
underreported news here is that the warming is not nearly as great as the
climate-change computer models have predicted.”

LEFTIST WATCH

businesses, destroying a limousine with hammers, spray-painting on walls and
windows, smashing kiosks, and chanting “no cops, no borders, fight law and

Millions of Americans watching President Donald Trump’s
inauguration on television missed one of the more important parts of the day --
the faces of the ugly Left. Vulgarity was on full display in the anti-Trump
crowd: Angry feminists, Satanists,

Some critics are taking shots at “Patriots Day” – the thriller

terrorism.

WISE WORDS
“For over 200 years, this nation has been peacefully transferring
power from one president to the next. We don’t reflect enough on how odd that
is historically. And if it doesn’t give you goose bumps, you need to pause, and
we need to re-learn some history together, because this isn’t the way it used
to be done.”
-Sen. Ben
Sasse
