Trump turns Democrat angst up to 11
By R. Stephen Bowden

Next month’s election will be fun.

Democrats in Congress and on America’s coasts are experiencing an existential crisis. Hysteria runs rampant. We’re two years in and counting. Desperation has set in. Maxine Waters encourages violence. Kamala Harris and Cory Booker imagine themselves as frontrunners in 2020. Hillary Clinton claims that civility is not merited, and Elizabeth Warren checked her DNA. Oy, veh. It’s getting tiresome. But still, it’s funny.

These folks assumed since 2008 that their side had won, permanently. They assumed that the Republican Party is dead. They assumed that no one except “crazies” would oppose the progressive agenda. The bitter clingers and deplorables were supposed to lose. Everyone to the right of progressives was assumed to be radical, Alt-Insane, pure scum, and worthy of public scorn. Hence their mania.

Then a miracle happened. Against the alleged inevitable tide of history, America got “woke.” It wasn’t that America was there for Trump. It was that Trump was there for America.

Elections have consequences. 2010. 2012. 2014. Landslide victories for Republicans at both the state and congressional levels. Then came Trump. Accidental? No. It was a red wave of monumental significance...except to Democrats in Congress and on the coasts. They weren’t worried by any of it. After all, they had Hillary warming up in the bullpen. And open borders...with illegal aliens being bused to many key voting districts around the U.S. Motor voter laws in effect, or coming into effect. Don’t think this strategy was a last-minute ploy. Plans were made in advance. Plus verbal agreements were in place for a climate accord in Paris, a nuclear deal with Iran, and a trade deal in the Pacific. Once those were in place, it was time for the fat lady to sing. Trump was nothing more to them than a voice crying in the wilderness (Isa. 40:3). It was a cinch that Democrats would rule Washington for a lifetime or two, maybe forever. That’s my take on it.

So don’t be surprised by the manic screeds of miscreants on the Alt-Left, including Antifa. At worst, they are a fraction of a minority, a pimple on an elephant’s hind leg, no matter how often they are magnified by the MSM. They assumed they could re-invent America. Folks much smarter than them assumed they could prevent Trump’s election, or prevent his inauguration, or drive him from office. Destiny was in their hands...until it wasn’t.

It’s two years now and running. The anarchists and bellyachers and their allies in Washington have failed at every turn. Trump owns them. He will prevail. November 6 is right around the corner. I’ll say now what I said before November 8, 2016: Trump’s got this one. Watch and see. You won’t be disappointed on November 6, 2018. Afterward will come the echo of the prophet Amos: “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an everflowing stream” (5:24).

Donald J. Trump doesn’t suffer fools for long. He is no fool himself. He has a strong counter-punch. Congressional Democrats know as much. Hence their angst. He owns the lot of them.

Let’s compare notes on November 7.

In the meantime, vote as if your future depends on it. It does.

The Circus of Confusion and Chaos That Hangs Around Rosenstein Is Deliberate

By Brian Cates

FTA:
While some people in media want to believe Trump is the world’s worst player at “Spot the Traitor,” I happen to believe he’s quite adept and astute at spotting people who are trying to hurt him, and equally as adept at dealing with them.

If Rosenstein were an actual threat to Trump, he’d have been gone long before this. The actual facts are that this is the guy who engineered the tossing of both James Comey and McCabe out of the FBI.

As I explained in an earlier column, there are several good reasons why Rosenstein has to withhold key documents from congressional committees, not the least of which is that several members of these Senate and House committees are under investigation for criminal leaks, as well as other illegal activity.

If Rosenstein were causing real problems, both Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions would have taken action, and it’s very telling that they haven’t. Trump just gave Rosenstein another very public vote of confidence. In addition, Sessions gave Rosenstein on Oct. 15 the high-profile job of leading a task force to target transnational criminal organizations, including Hezbollah and MS-13.

Remember what Trump said at his first press conference as president, “The leaks are real, the news is fake!” Most of what we are seeing in the media is deliberate disinformation. This includes most of what you’re hearing about Rosenstein.

For whatever reason, Trump has decided on a slow rollout, using a lot of disinformation, to hide what’s really happening from both the Democrats and their media allies. That means a lot of the chaos and confusion, which often centers on Rosenstein, is deliberate.

I think, in a few more weeks, we’ll know why.
