"The Remains of an Administration" by Victor Davis Hanson

Yet another great commentary by Victor Davis Hanson, this article at National Review reminds us of how corrupt the Obama administration was....

Obama entered with a supermajority in the Senate and a large majority in the House, with the likelihood of remaking the Supreme Court. When he left eight years later, he had lost both houses of Congress, lost the Supreme Court for a generation, and lost more than 1,000 state and local offices. Once Obama discovered in his last year in office that the more he disappeared, the more the public liked the idea rather than the reality of Obama, his polls recovered. His designated successor, armed with Obama’s endorsement, a captive media, and a vast preponderance of money lost to outlier Donald Trump in the greatest upset in U.S. election history. Trump, remember, ran on being the antithesis to Barack Obama.

"First-Time Gun Buyers Explain How Coronavirus Changed Their Politics"

From the Washington Free Beacon, this story is very interesting. 

       Here's a snippet - "This has taken me, a law-abiding citizen with nary an unpaid parking ticket to my name, over a month," he told the Washington Free Beacon. "Meanwhile Joe Bad Guy has probably purchased several fully automatic AK-47s out of the back of an El Camino in a shady part of town with zero background checks."

Receipts reviewed by the Free Beacon show Kane first purchased a firearm on March 11 from Sportsman's Warehouse in Milpitas, Calif. Santa Clara County shut down the shop before Kane's 10-day waiting period was complete. No end date was given for the order, but a California law giving buyers just 30 days to pick up a gun remained in effect. Kane was stuck in a legal limbo that only grew worse.

Unable to do business, the store went belly-up in May. Kane had no way to pick up his gun. He started the process over again at another store in a neighboring county. He returned home with a Springfield XD 9mm and a biometric safe on April 29, 50 days after he first passed a background check and paid for a gun.

"I'm seriously thinking of running for office or something," Kane said. "This state's gun laws are insane."

It's OK to Say It: The Lockdown Was a Catastrophic Error

It's OK to Say It: The Lockdown Was a Catastrophic Error: Let's review. 'Reopening' is a sham. Shops, restaurants and small businesses, under 'reopening', are being micromanaged by the

More commentary from Victor Davis Hanson

One of my favorite writers, Mr. Hanson explains politics and culture like no one else. His latest article at PJ Media, talks about the divide between "red-state & blue-state" America....

Red- and blue-state America was already divided before the coronavirus epidemic hit. Globalization had enriched the East Coast and West Coast corridors but hollowed out much in between.

The traditional values of small towns and rural counties were increasingly at odds with postmodern lifestyles in the cities.

There were, of course, traditionalists in blue states. And lots of progressives live in red states. But people increasingly self-segregate to where they feel at home and where politics, jobs, and culture reflect their tastes.  

The ensuing left/right, liberal/conservative, Democrat/Republican divide not only intensified in the 21st century, but it also took on a dangerous geographical separatism.

The coasts vs. the interior divide reflects two Americas — often in a manner similar to the old Mason-Dixon line that geographically split the U.S. for roughly a century.

As always, it's great writing. Read it all! 

"The Three Blows to the New World Order"

Here's an interesting article by Bruce Thornton at Frontpage Mag. It starts off with this paragraph...
Nearly 30 years ago the Cold War ended with the collapse of the Soviet Empire. Communism, the last challenge to the Western paradigm of liberal democracy and free trade, disappeared, defeated by the same free-world alliance that had vanquished earlier totalitarian foes like fascism and Nazism. History understood not as events but as a tournament of conflicting socio-politico-economic orders had ended. A “new world order,” over a century in the making, finally had won.

Interesting (scary??) article

Here's an article from the American Thinker blog titled "Police State Dry Run a Huge Success". It's written by Carol Brown and contains numerous links to other articles supporting her many points. It's an article worth reading.

Just wow!

Check out this article over at American Greatness. Here's a sample - "...For Democrats, this is what it’s come to: A last attempt to drive down support for Trump by doing everything they can to heighten public fear of the coronavirus and extend for as long as possible the resulting economic disruption.

As demands to open businesses increase in states around the country, Democrats’ target date for getting Americans back to work is 18 months from now. By which time, they hope, Trump’s plan to restart the economy will have backfired, and they’ll be running what’s left of the country, Green New Deal-style."  

Is this what's really going on? It just might be.

Michael Flynn Exonerated

An article by Mike Huckabee published at The Stream website - 
Exonerated: At Last, A Breakthrough in the Case of Lt. General Michael Flynn 
A little snippet....
The Note That Indicts the FBI

It’s one of the handwritten notes that has shown beyond doubt that Flynn was personally targeted, just to get rid of him.

The barely legible scrawl reads: “What’s our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute or get him fired?”

Let that sink in. “Get him to lie”? “…get him fired”? Since when does the FBI concern itself with getting someone fired?
