Limbaugh: “Donald
Trump is winging this all by himself. He’s got no support. Obama had the media

No surprise. Ninth Circuit upholds restraining order against
President Trump’s executive order on travel. Under the court’s new novel theory
of legal standing, “injuries” to public universities that result from foreign
students and teachers not being able to enter the country give the states
standing to sue. Moreover, the court held that foreigners with visas have due
process rights, even if they are not in the US.

COLUMN OF THE WEEK
David Solway 2/10
Donald
Trump is regularly denounced as an electoral interloper, someone ignorant of
the rules of the political game and who possesses a brash and mercurial
temperament unsuited to the demands of presidential office. The litany of
complaints and condemnations shows no sign of abating and is indeed picking up
momentum with every passing day: he is a dictator in the making, a Putin in
American clothing, a man with an itchy nuclear finger, and a potential
killer of journalists and political opponents. Calls have been heard for
impeachment and assassination.
The attack on a lawfully elected president is not only visceral and remorseless
but arguably bordering on treasonous.
Is he really the ignoramus and tyrant-in-the-making that his
enemies have portrayed him to be? Trump has notably surrounded himself with
people who know their stuff — intelligent, knowledgeable and successful in
their fields — which suggests that he knows how to find and choose the right
partners and associates, as his business career abundantly proves. He has
demonstrated time and again, during his nomination run and electoral victory,
that he is gifted with determination, street smarts, a taste for winning, and a
remarkably steep learning curve.
His proclaimed intention to “drain the swamp,” revealing
that he was willing to state, boldly and without equivocation, what no other
major political figure had the courage or insight to put on record, has
resonated with heartland America. For the swamp manifestly exists and its toxic
substance is relentlessly advancing into the receding terrain of the republic,
like the bio-engineered virus in James Rollins’ The 6th Extinction that
threatens everything in its path.
Trump is perfectly aware that he is under prolonged siege
and may have understood that his enemies will never back off and slink
ignominiously away. Trying to establish an entente cordiale with them is
doomed to failure. The hard-core Democrat Left and its cronies in academia and
the media, Obama himself (reportedly planning a “crusade” against Trump), the Black
Bloc Antifa rioters, the generation of deeply indoctrinated and under-educated
students, practically the entire entertainment industry — actors and sports
figures whose respective talents have little to do with developed intelligence
— and the denizens of many national institutions, the State Department and a
corrupted judiciary chief among them, will continue to fight tooth and nail
down to the wire. There is no reconciling with the unreconcilable.
It
should be clear by this time that the U.S. is no longer on the brink but in the
very midst of an undeclared civil war. Both Trump’s presidency and the future
of the republic are now at stake. But Trump does enjoy an ace in the hole to
repel the surge of revolutionary fury that has swept across the country. He
must double down and make good on his crucial pledges — among them building a
wall on the southern border, approving the Dakota Access pipeline, getting rid
of Common Core, eliminating the EPA, banning immigrants from terror-sponsoring
countries, strengthening the military, and moving the American embassy
to Jerusalem.
There
must be no resilement. Should he act on his word, he will be the first
president in contemporary history to abide by his commitments—not to his donors
(effectively, unlike his predecessors, he has none) but to the people. Haggling
and compromising are non-starters. As David Horowitz points out in Big
Agenda: Trump's Plan to Save America, the key to a viable presidency is that Trump refuses to be
intimidated and that he continues to be the fighter he is by temperament.
If
Trump sticks to his guns, proceeds to drain the swamp despite the resistance
and treachery he will daily confront, if he uses every weapon at his legitimate
command — legal action, executive orders, job dismissals, punitive justice, and
arrest where appropriate — in other words, if he does not flinch in the face of
violence and malicious provocation, snubs the fake news media, remains resolute
and defiant, and bulldozes ahead without temporizing or surrendering to the
temptation to take the easy way out, I am convinced he will turn out to be an
impressive president and the right man for these precarious times.
The
strategy Trump needs to adopt for eventual political success may seem
counter-intuitive. He must do what has probably never been done within living
memory, something as unlikely as his electoral victory, something that
politicians by nature are either too cynical or too beholden to put into
practice. And Trump, who to his credit is not a career politician, must
implement this strategy throughout the entire term of his incumbency. The route
to success will be strewn with obstacles, but the strategy for overcoming them
is both simple and unprecedented. He must keep his promises.

OTHER COLUMNS
“The (9th Circuit) ruling
is outrageous. It’s an abomination. It’s an intrusion on the president’s
authority in the area of foreign policy and national security.”
-former
U.S. attorney Joseph diGenova
“[A] carbon tax will
not accomplish the environmental benefits that are the entire purpose of this
exercise — regardless of what one believes about global warming. The same
climate sensitivity modeling used by the EPA shows that totally eliminating all
carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. would reduce warming by only 0.137 degree
Celsius by the end of the century, and only 0.278 degree Celsius if the entire
industrialized world totally eliminated all carbon dioxide emissions.” —Katie
Tubb
“They have paid their hard-earned money to come in there and
fill a seat. … I am there to entertain them, to take their worries away from
them, so when they walk out, they can kind of have a little lift in their step
and go, ‘Aw, that was such a great break from all the problems I have to deal
with during daily life.’ So I’m not going to give them my political views.”
-Reba McEntire

STRATEGY
Currently,
thanks to the ridiculous political judicial opinion of the 9th Circuit, the entire
professional left and Democrat party are on display trying to block President
Trump from protecting the American people. As a direct consequence they own any
negative outcomes, including any act of terrorism, that might happen in the
next several months. Why would President Trump remove that political liability?
If he’s smart, and he’s proven he is way beyond smart, he won’t. Behind the
scenes….President Trump can use his cabinet team to construct immigration and
visa review policy that accomplishes the security goalPresident Trump never
really needed the majority parts of the executive order to carry out the
security agenda. However, using the XO
provided a highly public approach toward showing the American electorate he was
fulfilling a campaign security promise. Tightening the visa approval process and
executing “extreme vetting” doesn’t require anything except a policy and
procedural change.

LEFTIST WATCH
In case you haven’t noticed, our president is a fascist. So
are his supporters and advisors. If you don’t agree Trump is a fascist, you’re
a fascist. If you voted for Trump, for whatever reason, and don’t regret it
now, you’re a fascist. If you’re not sure whether Trump is a fascist, and
refuse to demonstrate against his fascist administration, you’re a fascist.
That’s what the Left is saying, anyway. One can hardly read progressive
commentators (or commenters) without stumbling over the word.
Free speech is no longer free at our universities. If you
say the wrong thing, your words will cost you. Even if you say the right thing
it’ll cost you plenty. At Princeton University, you pay tuition of $41,820 per
year for the language police to ban you from words they deem sexist. The ban
applies to so-called hateful words and phrases like “layman,” “mankind” (which
the censors deem not just politically incorrect but also oxymoronic), “man
hours,” “workmanlike” and of course that most-hated word, “manpower.” In
addition, they’ve banned gender-specific pronouns.
A grand jury has indicted more than 100 Inauguration Day
protesters on rioting charges in Washington, D.C. In total, 209 people have now
been indicted. The indictment, handed up D.C. Superior Court on Wednesday,
charged 146 additional protesters with felony rioting — meaning they face a
fine of up to $25,000 and a maximum of 10 years in prison.

American Nationalism is Civic Not Ethnic
Time magazine asks on their cover: “Do Democrats Matter?”
An insider’s view: “As
a recently retired 25-year veteran of the U.S. Department of State who served
almost eight years as a refugee coordinator throughout the Middle East, Africa,
Russia and Cuba, I have seen first-hand the abuses and fraud that permeate the
refugee program and know about the entrenched interests that fight every effort
to implement much-needed reform. Despite claims of enhanced vetting, the
reality is that it is virtually impossible to vet an individual who has no type
of an official record, particularly in countries compromised by terrorism. U.S.
immigration officials simply rely on the person’s often rehearsed and
fabricated “testimony.” I have personally seen this on hundreds of occasions.”
Trump and Bannon: Buccaneer Brothers? “Donald
Trump is the hero in a fable of his own making. In the beginning, he may not
have been a true believer himself, but he was smart enough to recognize that
Republicans were fed up with the Bush dynasty and business as usual on the
right. Smug progressives and their press allies were at first contemptuous of a
populist candidate, then confused, and now hysterical.”

A Bronx first responder is not content to spend his
vacations relaxing — instead, he patrols the Mexican border with a heavily
armed vigilante group. “Our main goal is to stop narcotics trafficking,” said
FDNY emergency medical technician Andy Poliakoff, whose time off is spent in
the desolate Sonoran Desert hunting for Mexican drug runners. Poliakoff said
the people he catches sneaking over the border are not looking for work.
Get past all the noise, and the opposition to Betsy DeVos,

unions — which consider it their right to have a friendly face running federal
