COLUMN(S) OF THE WEEK
Two contrasting views of where America is heading:
Conrad Black is an optimist:
“The Emerging Democratic Minority” The biases of the media are so pervasive that
there is little recognition of the steady disintegration of the Democrats,
though it is occurring every day. Rational and intelligent members of the
center-Left write to me every week with new concerns about where the Left is
going. The Democratic National Committee’s decision not to allow Fox News to
put on one of their candidates’ debates confirms the weakness of the party and
of its leaders. The process of atomizing society into smaller and smaller
bearers of less and less widespread grievances, on each of which the whole
movement of protest, uproot, reveal, and punish is in constant paroxysms of
righteousness, is becoming louder and faster and more absurdly overwrought by
the day.”
Pat Buchanan offers a darker view: “How Middle America Is to
Be Dispossessed.” In all but one of the
last seven presidential elections, Republicans lost the popular vote. George W.
Bush and Donald Trump won only by capturing narrow majorities in the Electoral
College. Hence the grand strategy of the left: to enlarge and alter the U.S.
electorate so as to put victory as far out of reach for national Republicans as
it is today for California Republicans, and to convert the GOP into America’s
permanent minority party……If the new U.S. electorate of, say, 2024, includes
tens of millions of new voters —16- and 17-year-olds; illegal migrants;
ex-cons; new legal immigrants from Asia, Africa and Latin America who vote 70
to 90 percent Democratic, the political future of America has already been
determined. California, here we come.
Interesting view of Trump: “Trump Is an Army of One”
Presidents typically have the backing and support of their
political party. Although all presidents have the bully pulpit to broadcast
their messages, the presidency is a busy job, and the president must delegate
messaging and branding to surrogates, including elected officials in the
president's party. Barack
Obama had legions of apologists and defenders. Every congressional Democrat and
scores of leftovers from the Clinton administration were ready, willing, and
able to defend all things Obama, as well as viciously pounce on any of his
detractors…..Then along came Donald Trump……He was not part of either party's
ruling cabal, having never held elective office or political appointment. He did not campaign or arrive at the White
House with an entourage of advisers and staff from previous stints as a
governor or senator. Trump was an army
of one. Now, in the second half of his first term in office, he remains the
king of a nonexistent political party, at least in Washington, D.C. His actual
party is "yuuuge," with a political base that elected and likely will
re-elect him in 2020. Trump hovers around 50 percent in the polls with
90-plus-percent support among Republicans. Yet Trump is largely alone. Where are Republican members of Congress? Where are the pundits? Defenders are as scarce as moderate
Democrats. Nancy Pelosi is on television more in one week than Paul Ryan was in
two years. Fortunately, Trump is a fighter.
No other Republican could withstand the daily blistering barrage from
the media and both political parties ganging up on him to destroy his
presidency. Imagine how much more he
could have accomplished in his first two years with solid support from the GOP,
advancing his agenda and pushing back against spy-gate tricksters?

“I don’t miss it. You know, everything now … everyone has to
know your politics. I tried to use Johnny’s model, and I would get hate mail
from both sides equally and thought, ‘Well, that’s fabulous. That’s exactly
what I want.’ But when people see you as one-sided, it makes it tough. And, you
know, I did it when Clinton was horny and Bush was dumb, and it was just a
little easier. Now it’s all very serious. I’d just like to see a bit of
civility come back to it.”
-Jay Leno
“For most kids, college is about the ‘experience.’ For
parents, it’s about social status and credentials. For administrators, it’s
about money. For many professors, it’s about ideological indoctrination. Few
people in any of these groups care about the actual education.”
-Matt Walsh

LEFTIST WATCH
“Years ago, a white friend told me her son came home from
middle school in tears, overcome with guilt. He was taught that his white ancestors
were responsible for horrible things done to native Americans, blacks, and
women. Today, her son is a young adult communist. He hates America and believes
white men are the greatest source of evil in the world. He actually said he
will not have children because he does not want to bring more of his kind into
the world.”
During a guest lecture at Boston University, University of
Washington Professor Robin DiAngelo told the audience a “dangerous white
person” sees people as individuals rather than by skin color.
Generation Z has a more positive view of the word
"socialism" than previous generations, and — along with
millennials — are more likely to embrace socialistic policies and principles
than past generations, according to a new Harris Poll.
Universities have created a generation of intolerant white
liberals. Here’s how.
