We're Still Here, Comrade

                I have never seen a human being’s head spontaneously explode but the left has me thinking that could change. The national temper tantrum by a smaller and smaller group of alleged adults and their frightening (in a how-did-they-live-past-puberty kind of way) millennial offspring continues.

                Trump delivered a magnificent speech last Tuesday in his first address to Congress. That is my statement but unlike an Associated Press fact I can back it up with CNN’s own post speech poll showing 7 out of 10 Americans felt Trump was trying to move America in the right direction.

                In a rare coincidence Fox News even backed CNN up with a positive number of 76%.

                That seems incredible given how badly the howling press would like us to believe that more than just them, the Hollyweirdos, the state of CA, the five boroughs of NY and a few other scattered pockets of resistance around the country hate the President.

                My own theory of any move made by a leader at any level of anything is that one-third of the people affected are going to love you; one-third are going to continue to hate your guts no matter what; and one-third could care less if you flip, fly or float unless your decision impacts them enough favorably or unfavorably that they look up from their oatmeal and do a double take.

                I’d say the President hit something of a home run with that last group Tuesday.

                But not to be talked out of their rage, the left went on the defensive immediately. That seemed kind of ballsy to me after they weren’t able to clap at the notions of creating more jobs for Americans, increasing women’s entrepreneurship, improving the country’s safety and security, keeping promises to the American people, tax reform that would benefit the middle class, supporting our military, eliminating ISIS, reducing violent crime, and making education a priority, to name a few of the things our President hit on.

                I do get that they are a little touchy about securing their open borders, touching Obamacare (even though outside of the Beltway I think most liberals don’t understand they would benefit greatly from making the Affordable Health Care Act affordable), and putting victim’s rights ahead of the rights of violently criminal illegal aliens’ rights. But to sit on their hands (most of them) while the wife of a slain Navy Seal was honored? There’s nothing even humorous to say about that. I can’t even make fun of them, and you know how I like to make fun of them. That’s just loathsome and disgusting.

                You’d have thought the dems could have found someone who sounded a little less like he was reading a speech prepared days before the President’s to do their rebuttal other than former Governor Beshear (D-KY). The guy who was just replaced by a republican governor out of backlash for the poor job he did for the fine folks of Kentucky.

                And the following morning my old pal E.J. Dionne Jr. was back in the papers with his editorial on Trump’s speech claiming it was nothing but doom and gloom designed to scare the American people to death. I think you have to try really hard to be part of that 24% who weren’t encouraged by our President’s words.

                EJ’s takeaway was that he heard “the music of fright, dread and chaos.” Wow. I wonder if he wasn’t watching his DVR’d recording of “Madam Secretary.” I think ol’ EJ is still a little pissed at the President for telling him it would be ok to say “Merry Christmas.”

                And then we’re right into the Russian thing again.  What a sin and a shocker that Jeff Sessions, as Chair of the Senate Committee on Armed Services and a member of the Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security would meet with the Russian ambassador.

                Wouldn’t you be a little concerned if he hadn’t? (I’m only asking 76% of you.)

                Maybe we should have asked a different question than “Did you meet with any Russian operatives or enter into any negotiations with any Russian agents about the Trump campaign,” if that really wasn’t the question we wanted answered.

                By the way, what does the left think the Russians actually did to swing the election? All I can find on line is that some people suspect they hacked some emails of the DNC, specifically that Podesta clown. The DNC was also warned it was happening seven months before anybody thought it was a big deal according to online sources (which are only accurate, of course, when they are supporting the left). They didn’t think it was a big deal until HRC got her butt kicked, 306-232. (Sorry California, we count too.)

                All I can tell you is that when the Russians made me vote for Trump I had been convinced Hillary was a criminal and that liberalism is a disease for so long that they really wasted their efforts doing their Vulcan mind meld on me.

                You have to wonder how we got to the point where the chair of the ASC meeting with the Russian ambassador in a routine manner became more suspect than a presidential nominee while serving as Secretary of State, selling Russia one-fifth of this country’s plutonium after they made a huge donation to her Foundation For The Advancement of the Clinton Fortune and paid her hubbie $500K for a speaking engagement.

                Or I still shake my head at how he-whose-name-I-will-not-speak won the 2012 election after his open mic faux paus in which he asked PM Medvedev to let the left’s most feared human being, Vlad “The Impaler” Putin know that once he got elected it would be a lot easier to negotiate the disarmament of America.

                And now it seems to be a crime to have made eye contact with anyone with a Russian surname, but only if you happen to be a Trump supporter. There is still not one shred of evidence, in fact it is to the contrary, that Russia had anything to do with vote counts or voting machines in our electoral process.

                All there is is the left’s belief that those of us east of California and west of the five boroughs would never have come to the conclusions that HRC was a scumbag of the worst order, that liberalism was anything that deserved more than our disdain, and that putting Americans first was a good thing without the Russians releasing a fraction of the DNC’s dirty laundry to influence our mushy brains.

                Kiss my 76% ass.

                You wonder why the mind meld tricks didn’t work in California. I guess it’s because they’re so much smarter than the rest of us. That’s why Lindsay Lohan lives there.

                Here’s a thought for my liberal friends. In response to the notions that Michelle Obama or Oprah should be our next President it has been suggested Ivanka Trump should be the next republican nominee in 2024. I think Ivanka is a Russian name.

                Oh no!

                No matter how loudly the left wants to wail and cry about Russian boogeymen under the bed, 76% of us heard the President’s words and liked what we heard. No new poll means we went away but I’m glad if it helps the truly liberal sleep at night without self-medicating.

                We’re still here. We still believe. And we still won.

                And hey, EJ, Ruhzhdeestvoh, myaak.
