he soon grasped how disastrously his predecessor had bungled the North Korean nuclear threat


Uhm, if truth be told, every president since the Korean war has bungled North Korea. Don’t let the Bush/Clinton cabal off the hook.

Must admit. His comment did bring a smile.
However, certainly not the first. It’s been almost constant since he won the election.

Well, I look at it this way:

playing by ‘the rules’ has the USA heading straight into the abyss.

High time we had the political equivalent of Ghengis Khan as CIC. Because that’s what it’s going to take.

No quarter. Crush the LIB/DIMs (figuratively, of course).

Was it Shakespeare who said: “ Many a truth is told in jest.”

I rarely get it right.

The best thing is to keep on trying...as you do.

Keep up the good fight.;-)

Or at least Harry Truman! ( Don't give me hard time over HST, please! )

Reminds me of Reagan's: "I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience."

And even Mondale (the indirect target) grinned at this line.

Niall Ferguson is one of Britain’s defenders of American conservative — a more scholarly Nigel Farage.

Ferguson has engaged in verbal hand grenade hurling with Paul Krugman of the NY Slimes.

It’s a good story... And I’m surprised the Boston Globe published it.

May I gently add the name of my Dad’s old boss?

...George Patton.

Sometimes I get the feeling that PDJT is another reincarnation of The General. Sure sticks a boot up the nearest available arse in the same fine fashion and the MSM treats/treated both with the same lack of aplomb.
