Trump as neutralizer of the “progressive elites”

How good can you get in defining the Trump presidency?

. . . any report card on the Trump Presidency must begin by recognizing the great progress he has made in undermining the power and legitimacy of our progressive elites.

Whether on Twitter or through more traditional media, Mr. Trump has used politically incorrect language and proclaimed overtly traditional values of faith and patriotism.

His language has at times been vulgar in more ways than one. But his intent has been clear: to affirm traditional norms in a manner designed to make elites lose their self-control and drop the mask that long covered their hatred for traditional American society and the people who love it.

My thoughts entirely. The lifting up of skirts over Trump and how he talks has put opinion-makers in a faintly ridiculous position. I take their indignation as confirmation of my support — and that of many others, I believe.

School Resource Officer Stops Shooter

The way it’s supposed to work:

According to St. Mary’s County Sheriff Tim Cameron, the school resource officer (SRO) fired a round at the shooter, who fired a round in return. The shooter is now dead, . . .

The incident is now over, though the shooter managed to injure two students. One of them is in critical condition in the hospital, Cameron said. The SRO was not injured during the incident.

What is there to complain about as regards this armed presence of a responsible guardian of students’ lives?

It’s a Barnum and Bailey world . . .

Election day!

. . . Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn’t be make-believe
If you believed in [insert name of one seeking office] . . .

The candidate’s song, adapted for election day 3/20/18 or any other, from the dawning of voting.

Without your [vote]
It’s a honky tonk parade
Without your [vote]
It’s a melody played in a penny arcade . . .

So . . .

It’s phony; it’s plain to see
How happy I would be
If you believed in me . . .

. . . and gave me your VOTE!
