Strange times

Who would ever have dreamed that our modern Horatius at the bridge would have turned out to be a brash New York real estate tycoon with no political experience and cotton-candy hair: “The Future Belongs To Patriots”.

Update: Meanwhile, partisan television pipsqueaks and Twitter junkies like Jake Tapper continue dropping their masks.

Trump surely enraged the tyrants (a/k/a "globalists") at the UN.

And across America, as well.

Nicely done! Nicely done, indeed.

Funny that Schiff refers to 'classic mafia shakedown of a foreign leader' because that's how the Obama-Clinton years have been looking since we started to get the details last few years.

And a lot of foreign leaders (like our Julia Gillard) seem to have been in on the game. These are people in glass houses throwing stones, either out of guilt or stupidity. The global elites stink of corruption and insider deals, they are the last ones who should be accusing anyone, the system is broken.

I certainly didn't. President Trump has vastly exceeded my expectations, despite the sore-loser Democrats throwing everything they have at him. He has balls of steel. I don't think I'll ever like his demeanor, his abrasive style, or his antagonistic manner, but as America's greatest President once said of one our greatest generals, when his critics descended on the White House howling for his firing: "I cannot spare this man. He fights."

Spiny: Exactly so.

Mr. H were just discussing our travel itinerary for next summer, and one of the places that came up was New Hampshire and the Old Man Of The Mountain, otherwise known as the Great Stone Face. I know it fell in 2003 so you can't see it anymore, but this conversation reminds me now of how Donald Trump's profile kind of resembles it as it used to be.

Daniel Webster wrote about it: "Men hang out their signs indicative of their respective trades; shoemakers hang out a gigantic shoe; jewelers a monster watch, ad the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but top in the Mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that there He makes men."

New Hampshire didn't produce Donald Trump, but the US of A did.
