Trump's a wizard in my opinion. Just for being himself, he gets to live rent-free in the heads of millions of democrats. A real estate mogul, indeed! The level of ferocious hatred for a man who did well for the nation is sign of a national political decay that might not be capable of being healed. Maybe that’s the result that the haters are attempting to achieve.
Glenn, your various musings about Donald Trump, Sr. are therapeutic and even entertaining.
Oh, would you take one for the team and watch the SOTU this evening for us? Thanks buddy.
(Full disclosure, I'm attending a fundraiser at the Roberts' Barn for a whole lot of conservative politicians this evening...the gracious host will likely have it on one of his big-screens.)
Great article about witches, magic (in my Army days we called it FM about how something worked, using the profane F), and what I call the Get Trump movement. As to witches, I remember the Bible verse from Exodus 22:18 "You shall not suffer a witch to live" and if the lefties could throw water on him as was done to the Wicked Witch of the West they'd do it. They have lost the Judeo-Christian ethos and DO believe in the MOST absurd ideas devoid of reality.
This is magnificent! Of course, since I often reach for the word “demonic” to describe many of the things leftists say and do, I’d have to say that Enlightenment thinking has met the end of the road in my own dark mind as well.
Agreed on Glenn's magnificence! As to the "demonic" appelation, I join you in thinking there is little else that adequately describes and defines the actions of many, but not quite all on the fringe left. A minoritiy of them are simply brainwashed simpletons and, as the Commies used to describe them, "useful idiots." They are not the problem; they are the unhappy malcontents found everywhere throughout every society known to man. The ones leading the movement, I fear, are actually demonic, i.e., under the control and direction of a demon spirit. They may or may not be aware of that control, but it is nonetheless real. Those who scoff at the idea of demons and the entirety of the unseen realm do so at their peril. Merely because one does not believe a train is barreling down on him will not prevent a devastating collision, no matter how deeply held is the conviction.
A quote from one of my news articles. "What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy.
As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions."
"In 1984", Huxley added, "people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure."
In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us. ~Neil Postman
Excellent as always, Glenn. Adding my owh two cents would force me to say that all the problems today in the leftist (sic) mind--if you could distill it to only ONE cause--would be our educational (again, sic) system! That is where all the anti-Judeo-Christion begins. Moral relativity, likewise, and of course, the substitute for the REAL religion, the indoctrination in the NEW religions you mentioned: climate change, et al.

I’ll second your motion about Glenn viewing and reviewing the SOTU. I’m rooting for MTG to lead us in another round of “FJB”!
Good golly you're a talented writer!

Outstanding analysis! Let the leftists with the “This house believes in…” yard signs add that to the list.
That's my buddy in NW GA.
GO DAWGS!
