Thank you ... just thank you, Donald Trump.
I'm thinking of the alternative.
The Obama administration -- yes, you, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Samantha Power and Barry Soetoro -- claimed you would solve problems in the Middle East and elsewhere. All that's needed is to pair ancient hatreds with modern weapons, right? Problem solved. I'm thinking of Libya and then Syria. What could go wrong? Thanks, Barry and Hill. Major clean up in aisle six. Enter the Donald.
Obama, Clinton, et. al. imagined (or presented) themselves as highly-moral foreign policy geniuses. They knew what was best, and they were proud of their secret knowledge. It might help to note that Joseph Stalin was a seminarian before he became a Soviet autocrat ... so full of ideas on how he could make the world much better than it was ... such as keeping the sea level from rising, don't ya know ... and then 20 million dead citizens later ... well ... that's how the Soviet worm turned. God, how I fear such idealists, though I honestly think it was only a game for Barry. Who doesn't like getting elected Class President? I would have. Just put me in the high school hallway, my eyes closed while I raise my chin toward the ceiling, just beneath the banner than announces me as the next high school President, and I'll pretend to look as though I just achieved nirvana. Does it get any better than that? I, too, was an idealist in my youth, until I read the Torah and Martin Luther. They dispelled any impulses toward autocracy that I may have entertained. Obviously, Obama and I read different books. (Disclosure: No one ever would have voted for me as class President, except for the two guys who bummed cigarettes from me each morning before school started. If either is reading, you know who you are!)
Retrospectively, the only person who makes Barack Obama look good on the foreign policy front is Hillary Clinton, but let's not go there. Yes, I'll skip over the Russian reset, the Ukraine, Uranium One, Libya, arms to Syrian "rebels," Qatar, Iran, Pakistan, and the Clinton Foundation. The poor woman proved too greedy by half. To her credit she traveled the world, sometimes sober, but always on the taxpayer's dime. We've yet to learn what's on the Weiner laptop, but that's for another time. Oy, veh. What a disaster she was.
Then came Spygate. Lordy. I don't think anyone in the Obama administration thought Hillary would lose. Hence their brazen abuse of intelligence tools. I guess they all wore brown pants when they showed up to work on November 9, 2016.
Just remember that Hillary was expected to win the Presidency, hands down. According to Nate Silver in August, 2016, there was a 93% chance that no one would need to ask forgiveness or seek permission. Hillary would make sure of that. Her conspirators agreed. Yes, I'm talking to you, Mssrs. Brennan, Clapper, Obama, Comey and acolytes, along with the Clintons and minions in the upper echelons of the DOJ and IC. You folks are a bunch of tools. Did I mention Sally Yates and Loretta Lynch, two other ideological muppets of the narrative? Nice job, you hounds of sedition porn. Problem is, your version just won't come out clean in the wash. But I will give you credit. It almost worked. I think we all agree that Hillary was the problem. Poor girl. She just didn't get it.
Now the backlash begins. The House Intelligence Committee and Senate Judiciary Committee have taken charge. Plus Trump with his tweets. And Muehler's fiascos. It's too late for Trump's opponents. He outsmarted them all. I guess they failed to realize he was raised on the streets of New York, a tough guy in a city of tough guys. The best is yet to come.
But don't sell the Democrats short. Enter stage left comes the most recent MSM distraction, namely, Stormy Daniels. Yes, she's three or four news cycles old, but the MSM just won't let her die. And I have a minimum of respect for her. After all, at least aka Stormy Daniels acknowledges what business she's in. She never claimed it's for God and Country. Nor do others who understand her stock-in-trade. Apparently she's the only one who knows how business works on the street. I suspect that Brennan, Clapper, et. al., will soon realize the ins and outs of her trade.
My call? It's covfefe for the win.
MAGA
