“Trump 2024 Is (Practically) Inevitable,” writes Roger L. Simon in The Epoch Times, after hearing the former president speak at the Conservative Political Action Committee gathering in Florida.
“I am going to suggest that we may be getting an improved version … he looked younger and fitter. Will he change? Has he changed? Or will Trump always be Trump?” Simon asked rhetorically.
“Trump, I would argue, has grown and learned a great deal as president. Nothing is better training for president than being president. It’s the ultimate on the job training. He will be an improved version.”
I WAS HAPPY TO READ, “An Interview with Rep. Margorie Taylor Greene,” written by Mike Ford for Red State during the CPAC conference. Happy, because he considers the charges against her “properly adjudicated and hence, closed.”
Too many Republicans still want to hold the comments she made years ago against her, before being unanimous elected in 2020 by Georgians.
You may recall that 11 weak-kneed Republicans joined the Democrats in forcing her removal from House committee assignments.
“I will say right up front, I like this lady,” wrote Ford, “She’s smart, articulate, personable, and sems to understand who she works for, unlike a goodly number of DC swamp denizens.”
“THE EYES OF TEXAS,” the song traditionally played at the conclusion of football games at the University of Texas, may not be as well-known as the University of Michigan’s “The Victors,” but there’s a group of cancel culture students in Austin who are petitioning to cancel it.
They claim the song’s lyrics have racial overtones that make it oppressive to blacks. A stretch.
The Texas Tribune is reporting that alumni and donors have threatened to stop supporting the university if the university president doesn’t take a stronger stance in supporting the “Eyes of Texas” tradition. Let’s hope money talks.
REJOICE, all Fox News Channel viewers, former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has joined the Fox family. Perhaps the management has watched their viewership suffer of late. With the likes of Donna Brazile, Juan Williams, Harold Ford and Chris Wallace offering comment, let’s hope McEnany is frequently called upon to opine.
RUSH TO JUDGEMENT – Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer rushed to judgement on the death of Capital Police officer Brian Sicknick, providing special Capitol rotunda honors so they could use it as an opportunity to further the tale of President Trump’s incitement of the crowd which breached the Capital on January 6, 2021.
As I wrote here on February 19, 2021, it was clear that Sicknick was not struck in the head by a Trump supporter wielding a fire extinguisher. In fact, he told his brother he was “in good shape.” Since then, his mother told the London Daily Mail that her son wasn’t hit in the head, saying “we think he had a stroke, but we don’t know for sure.”
Sicknick was cremated prior to the February 3, 2021 memorial, but mysteriously, the Capitol Police are still “awaiting toxicology results.”
Appearing before a Senate hearing on March 2, 2021, FBI director Christopher ”Clouseau” Wray, said “the investigation is still ongoing.”
“it’s still unclear whether the FBI does not know Sicknick’s cause of death or whether the agency simply will not disclose it,” noted Jack Phillips in The Epoch Times.
PELOSI’S PET PROJECT, San Francisco’s Bay Area Rapid Transport (Bart), was earmarked by Nancy Pelosi to provide $140 million to extend the subway, but it was scrubbed by Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth McDonough because it had nothing to do with Covid-19 relief. Provisions of the proposed legislation must satisfy the reconciliation requirements. What about the rest of the non-Covid funding?
PONDER THIS – President Biden had the audacity to criticize the governors of Texas and Mississippi for opening up their states, allowing residents to be responsible for their own health and those who they associate with, while he shows absolutely no concern for the illegals with Covid-19 crossing our southern border.
Mississippi’s Gov. Tate Reeves said Biden’s reference to him and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott as Neanderthals reminded him of Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” insult.
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
