The Enemy Within:

Recent events in the US prove that the Americans really don't need to fear immature dictators like Kim Jong-Un or the belligerents in the Persian Gulf as much as the media types in their own capital.

The recent attempts to kill politicians on ball fields were easy to predict. The Washington media was suggesting it all along. This manufactured news was being copied to social media by editors bereft of rational thought.

Articles unrelated to current news events copied to social media discussed the killings of American presidents in the past and were followed up by some genius with a piece on presidents who were able to avoid being shot. 

If that wasn't meant to inspire some messed up goof with a gun to take a shot at the newly-elected president, then we're misreading the intent.

It got to the point where it becomes easy to write off as seditious nonsense things written by someone from the Washington or New York media.

Nor are the cartoons any better. Most political artists are good at conveying political commentary through art. That's their job. Some excel in the art part, others in illustrating a point without type. Some are good at both. The one at the Washington Post shows neither skill.

The cartoons we've seen appear to be drawn with malice, clearly meant to insult and ridicule. No sign of brilliance nor even competence.

Keep that up long enough, and these "journalists" will load the potential for another American civil war, this time between the politically correct lefties and the part of the electorate described as "Deplorables" by Hillary Clinton.

It isn't Trump who will be viewed as the laughing stock in the outside world. It's the malicious lefty media that didn't have the smarts to quit while ahead.

Trump's Tour:

Donald Trump's tour of Europe has had the desired effect. It has stirred up enough controversy among continental politicians to show that it is not going to be business as usual.

Complacent politicians in Europe and the United Nations are now obliged to stop and re-think where they have been heading over years on cruise control.

It took an outsider to jolt the smug, elite chattering classes into a new awareness. They now need to re-think an elaborate fiction. It is now time to re-examine the notion that significant human-generated environmental degradation has resulted in global warming, and can be corrected only by massive investment into green energy.

This comes in the form of costly and inefficient windmills and solar panels, and somehow ignores hydro, the greenest of all green energies. 

It is becoming increasingly evident that global warming is a fictitious issue that has been nurtured by politicians like Al Gore and is designed to give them something they can bargain votes and taxes on easily and possibly offer potential for lucrative investments for political insiders and well-heeled friends.

Look at how much green electricity is costing the Ontario taxpayers. There is no better example anywhere of how this global warming propaganda can be abused by politicians.

The environmental movement as it now stands does nothing for the environment. Zero. It has probably done wonders for the investment portfolios for people like Al Gore, David Suzuki, Kathleen Wynn and Dalton McGuilty.

To Trump, the idea that decisions at the United Nations or the European huddle can result in increased costs for American taxpayers is not a very good one. And he's right. It should be looked into. Even the most narrowly-focused lefties should be able to grasp that one.

Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do. Hopefully, it will not take too long before ordinary people begin to see the merits of what needs to be done.

There are many swamps that need to be drained before the human species is once again allowed to evolve toward a productive future. Trump has served notice that neither the United Nations nor the European political huddle has all the answers.

Let's hope it doesn't take too long for this to become obvious to everyone.
