By Wayne Allensworth For years — no, decades — patriots have lamented the GOP politicians’ reluctance to wield power once they have it. Our opponents had no compunctions about that, of course, and they dug a mighty deep hole for us. That’s not true any longer. Donald Trump promised he would use all the authority of the presidency on our behalf and turn back the dismal globalist-leftist tide...
By R. Cort Kirkwood Now competing for the most embarrassing journalistic enterprise of the new year — along with the most galactically stupid one — is an offering from The New York Times. The Times’ crack reporters have reckoned that President Donald Trump’s designating the drug cartels that control the southwest border as “terrorist” might harm the U.S. economy. The...
By Wayne Allensworth President Donald Trump has wasted no time in his attempt to right the globalist course taken by Washington during previous administrations. His barrage of executive orders attests to that. Despite all of Trump’s American exceptionalism talk, his actions thus far, as well as his inaugural speech, point the nation in a different direction than some might expect. Trump isn’t...
By R. Cort Kirkwood In six executive orders on his first day in office, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency at the southwest border and ordered his Cabinet officials to seal it and mobilize the armed forces to defend it. Trump also designated the drug cartels operating at the border as terrorist organizations and ordered an overhaul of the federal refugee program. And in an order...
By Wayne Allensworth Journalist Salena Zito understands the 45th, now 47th, president’s verbal riffing in a way the establishment does not: She wrote that “The press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally.” From Western Pennsylvania, Zito has spent the best part of a decade following Donald Trump, and her background helped her see him the way...
By Wayne Allensworth It’s difficult to imagine now, but when the Apollo 11 lunar module set down in the Sea of Tranquility all those years ago, Americans were fixed on their TV screens, awed, fascinated, and, in some cases, disoriented by the momentous conclusion of the space race. I recall gathering with neighbors around a TV and watching the somewhat grainy broadcast with the sense of adventure...
By Wayne Allensworth The electoral triumph of the Trump-Vance ticket was heartening to many of us. Though your observer remains wary of some of Trump’s cabinet nominees, the president-elect has shown signs of having learned some hard lessons from his last tussle with the Swamp. It’s been amusing — and gratifying — to watch the globo-leftists melt down, but we should not lapse into triumphalism or...
By Wayne Allensworth White House permission for Ukraine to use ATACMS missile systems to strike targets in Russia, apart from territories annexed by Moscow, was in the works for some time. President Joe Biden was reluctant to greenlight such strikes, and wished to require certain restrictions on how those missiles could be used. Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that the use of such...
By Wayne Allensworth The usual suspects are at it again, claiming that anyone who deviates from the globalist neocon-neoliberal foreign policy agenda is a Russian agent. As Glenn Greenwald said on his System Update podcast, an indispensable source in this election year, the loathsome David Frum, one time George W. Bush speechwriter, is sneering at Trump’s nomination of Tulsi Gabbard as Director...
By Wayne Allensworth It has been my hope that a more thoughtful, circumspect President-elect Donald Trump, one who could wisely choose U.S. Senator J.D. Vance as his vice president, learned something from his first joust with The Swamp. It appears that he has. Trump is serious about his agenda. He will not appoint neoconservatives and GOP backstabbers like Niki Haley, Tom Cotton, and Mike Pompeo...
