Joni Ernst somehow managed to vote to confirm both Merrick Garland and Pete Buttigieg, but now seems willing to sabotage Pete Hegseth for a position she herself would love to have. Her assessment of her meeting with him was a mealy mouthed damning with the faintest of praise. I'm not in a "rightwing circle," Erick, but she is not coming off as admirable in this matter. She's coming off SMALL.

I would say DT intended to do so beginning in the 2015 run. Look what it has wrought him personally. Deep State scorpions have attempted to eviscerate him.

Please don't come back with a cacophony of his morals. No more amoral public figures than JFK and MLK, Jr., and they are considered by many to be the perfect role models.

I wrote a bunch but will net it. Capitalism and good Healthcare cannot coexist in this country.

I actually had to stop following the story because I was getting a little too angry at the categorically degenerate comments I saw. Even on the very non-anonymous LinkedIn, people were saying absolutely terrible things about this guy, for no reason other than they hate the company he works for. I feel my blood pressure rising as I type this so I will just leave it at that. Haha.

👏👏👏👏👏Needs to be shouted from the rooftops. And remember also the willingness to urge teens to self mutilate and give in to the temporary uncertainty and lost feeling that is often a part of puberty rather than supporting them by helping them gain patience and insight in their condition.

"The Awake & the Awaking." Tell me Obama isn't still working on fundamentally changing society.

Eric, I agree with what you have written. Look at this article from the Doctor's view.

This startling commentary is a rightful condemnation of the progressive left; the adoration of evil by the progressive left, inculcated in society by much of higher ed and abetted by large strands of the media, must be fought and undermined at every turn. Democracy and our republican form of government depends upon a moral, religious and ethical foundation. We must “take the gloves off” to preserve it, defund and remove any vestiges of support for those elements that undermine it, and welcome all to the cause. This is not really so much top down as it is bottom up, grass roots, vigilance, involvement and prodigious effort throughout society coupled with a refusal to fund whatever seeks to undermine this essential foundation.

The more and more one hears such commentaries is the belief that Christmas came early this year: November 5.

You mean the same people who cheered the assassination attempt on Trump? Nope not surprised one bit.

Exactly. If you want the very young and the old to die, just promote universal healthcare. Or anyone else who doesn’t fit their model of what they think a person should be or think. How is that not any different than what Hitler was trying to do.

It seems to me that much of this arrogance on the left started when Obama became president. He is still pushing the left into what he thinks this country should be. He just did a speech where his red line was weaponizing the military, the judicial system and voter suppression. Dear Mr. Obama you did just that. You want the definition of a narcissist, look in the dictionary and you will see Obama’s picture.

Remember?

"Fundamental transformation" by "we are the ones we've been waiting for".

Agreed, He is still the puppet master in the background, pulling the strings trying to desperately salvage his legacy. He knows Trump can ruin all that for him.
