Good one, Westerly!

Until now, I have never come across anything by Ann Coulter that was worth considering, let alone sharing.

But, as the saying goes “even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while”.

War is like crack for presidents. It confers instant gravitas, catapulting them to respectability, bypassing all station stops. They get to make macho pronouncements on a topic where every utterance is seen as august.

On the other hand, Trump’s Syrian misadventure is immoral, violates every promise he ran on, and could sink his presidency.

Left to his own devices, uncontaminated by Washington group-think, Trump gets it right.

Back in 2013, when President Obama was being egged on to attack Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack far more sweeping than this latest one, Trump tweeted:

— Aug. 29, 2013:

“What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.”

— Aug. 31, 2013:

“Be prepared, there is a small chance that our horrendous leadership could unknowingly lead us into World War III.”

— Sept. 1, 2013:

“If the U.S. attacks Syria and hits the wrong targets, killing civilians, there will be worldwide hell to pay. Stay away and fix broken U.S.”

On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly stated that he had no interest in starting “World War III over Syria,” saying, “We have bigger problems than Assad.” His policy position was: “Let Syria and ISIS fight. I look at Assad — and Assad looks better than the other side.”

Trump was right on every point.

Assad is one of the least bad leaders in the entire Middle East. He’s not a murderous thug like Saddam, has no rape rooms, isn’t into jihad, protects Christians, and is fighting ISIS. He provided us with intelligence on al-Qaida after 9/11. He does not have crazy Islamic police slapping women around or throwing gays off buildings. (That would be our beloved ally, Saudi Arabia.)

Trump was also correct about Assad’s opponents being far worse, containing large helpings of both ISIS and al-Qaida.

As awful as it was to see those dead children, Trump knew that America’s first duty is to our own children.

We have never succeeded at turning a Third World dictatorship into a paradise. The history of these things is that removing a Middle Eastern strongman always makes things worse — for example, in Iran, Iraq, Libya, and Egypt.

We leap in, thinking we’re helping the poor devils under the thumb of a dictator — and then the new tribe takes over and oppresses everyone else, usually much more brutally, while hating us even more than the old tribe did.

If voters wanted more Middle Eastern wars, there were plenty of other candidates offering that: Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Carly Fiorina, and Hillary Clinton, for example. And we must never forget Jeb! though it proved surprisingly easy to do so in 2016.

But we picked Trump.

While most of the left wailed about the return of Nazi Germany under Trump, savvier liberals saw his vulnerability: flattery. All we have to do is praise him! You’ll be shocked at how easy it is.

And, boy, did they lay it on thick with the Syrian misadventure. No sucker’s bait was left on the floor. Cable news hosts gushed, “Trump became president of the United States tonight!” On MSNBC, Brian Williams called the bombing “beautiful” three times in less than a minute. Sen. Lindsey Graham (one of the “women of the Senate,” according to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg) compared Trump to Reagan. The New York Times headlined an article, “On Syria Attack, Trump’s Heart Came First.”

My nightmare scenario: Trump and Jared watching TV together and high-fiving: DID YOU SEE THE NEWS! THEY LOVE YOU! All Trump had to do was pointlessly bomb another country, and it was as if a genie had granted his every wish.

Looking for some upside to this fiasco, desperate Trump supporters bleated that bombing Assad had sent a message to North Korea. Yes, the message is: The Washington establishment is determined to manipulate the president into launching counterproductive military strikes. Our enemies — both foreign and domestic — would be delighted to see our broken country further weaken itself with pointless wars.

Was America strengthened by the Iraq War? The apparently never-ending Afghanistan War? Vietnam? This is how great powers die, which is exactly what the left wants.

Administration policy was heading in the wrong direction at 90 mph, but thank God, Trump seems to have grabbed the steering wheel and hit the brakes. Notwithstanding the hopes and dreams of Clausewitzian military strategist Nikki Haley, we will not be engaging in regime change in Syria or starting World War III with Russia today.

We want the “president of America” back — not “the president of the world.”

 

Ann Coulter said, "This is how great powers die, which is exactly what the left wants."  Really, Ann?  Iraq and Afghanistan are both unfunded Republican wars which contributed mightily to the deficit.  The left has been railing against them since 2002.

Did anybody see the Jay Leno walk-on on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show where he did the Trump joke concerning Trump's refusal to throw out the first baseball and his refusal to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner?  You could look it up; I'm steering clear of stuff on this website.

Thought you folks might be interested in this:

I found something online that said that Roosevelt actually signed 99 executive orders in his first 100 days, so who knows how accurate any of it is.

Thought you'd all want to get in on this great offer -- free book for only $75.

Great America Alliance
Carol, 

Donald Trump is unlike any president we've ever had. The D.C. elites and biased media are truly terrified of President Trump's bold approach to policy reforms. 

The Washington Establishment and mainstream media fear what they cannot control, which is why they have amplified their efforts to delegitimize the President personally and politically.

That's why I urge you to join Great America Alliance's efforts to f...

We must help our Alliance fight back in support of a fully implemented America First agenda. 

For every generous contribution of $75 or more, I will send you an autographed copy of my new book, Understanding Trump, when it is released in June. 

Headline

Those who oppose the President will stop at nothing to destroy him and our movement, blatantly ignoring the will of the American people that voted to make our country great again.

President Trump has already accomplished historic feats in his first 100 days, but there is still so much more to be achieved. But the President alone cannot implement sweeping reforms AND combat the opposition. 

That's why I am asking you to stand with me in support of Great Ame... 

And as a token of my gratitude, I will send you a special thank you - an autographed copy of my new book, Understanding Trump.
 

Headline 

Chris, President Trump is on the front lines fighting for Americans, but this movement is bigger than one man. 

Will you join me and Great America Alliance today to help put Ameri...


Sincerely, 
Great America PAC
Newt Gingrich
Co-Chair, Great America Alliance

P.S. – Great America Alliance is committed to supporting the President's reform agenda and using every tool in its arsenal to make it a reality. Please join me today and as a special thank you I'll send you an autographed copy of my new book, Understanding Trump. 

Newt is a master of moneymaking schemes. Several years ago he was offering plaques for excellence in business, signed by himself, for a certain-sized "donation," He never vetted these businesses; at least one of them was a strip club in Florida. 

Laughing....

That's hysterical!

Tantrums against Trump 

Carol,

The political tantrums against President Trump and hypocrisy have reached a fever pitch, and I am tired of it.

Despite the fact that President Trump achieved a historic and earned victory, political sore losers and "social justice warriors" across the country remain committed to sabotaging the President's America First agenda every chance they get.

That's why I have joined forces with Great America Alliance and am asking YOU to help us fight back.


Great America Alliance is at the forefront of this battle, working tirelessly to advance the reform agenda Americans were promised, and to combat efforts to delegitimize our America First movement. 

If you are tired of the hypocrisy, political tantrums, and gridlock waged by the "social justice warriors," please join me in helping Great America Alliance fight back. 

The Alliance has already made a huge impact advancing the President's agenda, playing a direct role in Judge Neil Gorsuch's confirmation and the Obamacare repeal, but the opposition is well funded and shows no signs of slowing down. 

If you are sick of the misfit babies formed from every failed movement all sandwiched together to become the largest group of whiners the country has even seen, I am asking you to help me support the Alliance today! 

Sincerely, 
Tomi Lahren 

P.S. – We cannot allow the biased media, paid protestors, and obstructionists to control the narrative any longer. Join me in helping the Alliance fight back to advance the Trump agenda Americans voted for, and drown out the fake news and political whiners who seek to block our progress. 

I had never heard of Tomi Lahren until I received this email, but I knew Bmichael would want to jump right on her it.
