Think: What would the Dems be saying if a GOP President went around Congress & gave US$ 7 billion in subsidies to insurance companies?

President Trump, the media and other stories.....


We will look the controversy over President Trump's phone call to the widow of a fallen hero.......do you understand now why a poll shows that 46% of Americans believe that the media makes up news about President Trump...............reaction to President GW Bush's speech......I didn't hear what everybody apparently heard.........Obama Care is failing and it has nothing to do with Trump but rather the fact that it was a lousy plan with no chance of ever succeeding............the 1973 Saturday Night Massacre...........and other stories........

Can we finally put an end to Hitler analogies?

Mark Steyn is a Canadian author & columnist. Like Christopher Hitchens, they cover the US with an international perspective. 

Over the last 50 years, liberals have irresponsibly used Hitler analogies when referring to Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, Bush and now Trump.

First, everyone knows the Hitler story. Our Jewish friends know this story better than anyone else.

The world paid a heavy price because the Europeans were too busy enjoying wine and sidewalk cafes to stand up to this madman in the 1930's.

50 million dead in WW2 because no one had the courage to stand up to Hitler until it was almost too late.

Over the years, I have seen antiwar demonstrators carry placards equating Republican presidents with Hitler.    


It's time to stop it!







The Democrats vs. Electoral College is just the latest distraction

We’ve been dealing with one distraction after another since the experts got the 2016 election wrong.  
The latest example is a court challenge to the Electoral College, as we see in this report by Fred Lucas
A liberal-led push to overhaul the Electoral College could be moving from the op-ed pages to the courtroom, as a Harvard professor who flirted with a dark-horse Democratic presidential bid last year vows litigation to change the system.
Criticism of the Electoral College was resurgent in the wake of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss. Clinton recently said she wants the system “eliminated.” 
The latest effort isn’t aimed at dismantling the structure entirely – but rather, the winner-take-all system used by 48 states in awarding electors, which ends up focusing presidential races on a handful of battlegrounds.
 
“With a winner-take-all, most of America is ignored,” Professor Lawrence Lessig said in previewing his legal case — which, like any challenge to the Electoral College, faces a steep uphill climb.    
Lessig, though, argues the system violates the 14th Amendment’s one-man-one-vote principle. 
Currently, all but two states award all electors to the winner of the state’s popular vote. 
Lessig said 24 people have volunteered to be plaintiffs, though he’s still deciding which states to focus on.
“We are looking for a Republican from a blue state whose vote never counts and a Democrat from a red state whose vote never counts,” he said.
So I guess that the left is looking for a Roe v. Wade to declare the Electoral College unconstitutional.
For the record, I think that the Electoral College votes should be done on a congressional district-by-district basis. I think that such an approach would reflect the national vote better than a state-by-state basis.
Nevertheless, the Electoral College is the system we have and the one that decides elections.   
Also, and this is the point that the Clinton 2016 and Gore 2000 supporters always overlook, there is no guarantee that their candidate would have won under a popular vote approach.     
As I recall President George W. Bush saying years ago, he would have campaigned differently under a popular vote system. He would have spent more time courting an extra 500,000 votes in Texas rather than fighting for Arkansas’ 5 electoral votes.
Hillary Clinton had a lot of problems in 2016. She didn’t lose over 3,000 counties because of the Electoral College!
