The previous - the best this century and to be honest, despite Clinton's easy ride, probably the best since Reagan - POTUS, President Trump, "SLAMS Fauci and Birx in brutal statement" [LINK]; "Based on their interviews, I felt it was time to speak up about Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx, two self-promoters trying to reinvent history to cover for their bad instincts and faulty recommendations, which I fortunately almost always overturned." 

If you read the statement you'll see below another article linked to The Donald's and former first lady Melania Trump's new official website: 45Office.com. I genuinely hope it is a great success.

Update: WOW, I wasn't aware that Facebook and Instagram have banned ALL sharing on their platforms of a new interview from Donald Trump their platform, OR anyone speaking on his behalf: Here is the interview; it's only 18 minutes, make up your own mind. It IS worth a listen, you get some of the usual stuff you'd expect BUT much of what he says is relevant to the U.K. too.

Official observance...

...of Octoraro Orphie? Or is it Phil? Anyhoo, today is Groundhog Day: "The first reported news of a Groundhog Day observance was arguably made by the Punxsutawney Spirit newspaper of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, in 1886"...not that we in the UK celebrate it, but we know about it. The only real reason I'm posting about it is the cartoon below, LOL.

Although I also notice the date and time and feel oddly excited. Plus today is the 33rd day in this, a Leap year, with 333 days to go...



Update 3 a.m.: Talking of The Donald, I thought this was interesting from The Last Refuge (CTH); I wonder whether the US media will ignore - much the same way as UK media have studiously ignored any good news re Brexit - the State of The Union address as they have done previously for Trump. The SOTU is on Tuesday: the 1111th day of the Donald's administration. The numbers again.

Just a follow-on really, from Obvious opposition odium... had added updates but there were so many links thought it would be better making a further post...clearer than ever that the "white supremacy" COORDINATED attacks (inc. plethora of Charlottesville misquotes making headlines again) has replaced the failed attempt at getting The Donald impeached over "Russia".



End of previous blog-post and updates: 'FFS. O'Rouke et al are CAUSING the violence, not
Trump! MSNBC, CNN and thier truly ignorant talking heads are aiding and
abetting the rise in violence, not Trump! The social media hordes
spouting evil and threatening violence are mainly from 'the Left'.
Antifa and other assorted violent twats are almost entirely of the Left.
They always are... and where does it normally end?  ...Well, dare I say
it?' 



Added 08/08: (oh no, Hitler Day!): Elizabeth Warren is another: "Senator Elizabeth
Warren, a leading Democratic presidential candidate, said in an
interview that she believed Donald Trump was a white supremacist." Clueless.



Added 09/08: Also like-minded: "And the mandarins of The New York Times were just getting started with the terrorism hysteria." [LINK] The War on White Supremacist Terror (sarc)

"The Times was hardly alone, of course. In the wake of the El Paso and Dayton shootings, the corporate media went into overdrive, pumping out “white supremacist terrorism” mass hysteria around the clock. The Guardian took a break from smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-Semite to proclaim that El Paso was “Trump-inspired Terrorism.” The Sydney Morning Herald declared that the U.S. is now officially in the throes of a “white nationalist terrorism crisis.“ The Atlantic likened Trump to Anwar al-Awlaki, and assured us that “the worst is yet to come!“. Liberal journalists and politicians rushed onto Twitter to inform their followers that a global conspiracy of white supremacist terrorists “emboldened” or “inspired” by Donald Trump (who, remember, is a Russian secret agent) is threatening the very fabric of democracy, so it’s time to take some extraordinary measures!"

Nice.

White supremacists everywhere...it's the new buzzphrase in the USA, a clear and blatant - coordinated - effort by the Democrats, the fake-news-MSM and the carzy Left (can you tell the difference these days?) to demonise The Donald. Beto O'Rouke is on a misson, not sure what yet but obviously he is intentionally making headlines by spouting shit; it's anti-Trump shit so gets a lot of support [Guardian...source MSNBC]. I am guessing it's a last ditch effort to get near double figures in the 2020 POTUS Dem candidacy. Only this week: "I mean the president has not been shy. He’s not been saying this behind
closed doors. This is out in the open. All people of one religion,
inherently defective … should be banned from the shores of this
country,” O’Rourke said on MSNBC.
Did you note the strawmen raised there? "All"... "defective".
He went on: “The only modern Western democracy… that said anything close to this is
the Third Reich, Nazi Germany.”



Comparisons to Hitler are nothing new and even against Trump are nothing new (from 2016) but the lefty pricks in the USA - and especially it seems the failing MSM (CNN, MSNBC...looking at you) - seem to be attracting more dangerous ranters - encouraging them and certainly not admonishing them - than could be called a coincidence; now they have gone full retard: on NBC: "Bizarre - Former FBI Official: Trump Ordered Flags Flown At Half-Staff To Honor Hitler" [LINK]...because it is the 8th of the 8th (HH) and you'd think he'd be cut-off or questioned but already on twitter there are many saying how sinsiter that is...and they're serious!

Back in July, Democrat Steve Cohen: "It was more reminiscent of Germany during the beginnings of the Hitler regime."

This week, nutter Democrat Jerrold Nadler said "reminds me of the 1930s in Germany."...after setting up several strawmen in one sentence: "What's the connection between background checks and immigration
reform?"  on Morning Joe [who else, LOL] "That we have to keep guns out of the
hands out of the invading hordes of less-than human people coming across
our border? That's the implication." Invading hordes? less than human?



I mean, even more bizarre: MSNBC again: WTF? "MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace falsely claims that Trump is “talking about exterminating Latinos” or Russian Impeachment Mika (neds a new tune: "the President of the United States of WANTING mass murders to happen." Funnily enough, that cahrge could be more logically applied to MSNBC reporters and staff and many others with trump Derangement Syndrome.



Even usually sensible sources are doing it: "The Rise of the American Gestapo: Has It Already Happened Here?" "Despite the finger-pointing and outcries of dismay from those who are watching the government discard the rule of law at every turn, the question is not whether Donald Trump is the new Adolf Hitler but whether the American Police State is the new Third Reich." [LINK]

Ostara's opera...

---

[edited 19th April, a.m.]...more than one opus to enjoy reading (along with the comments) this celebration of Ēostre (or Ostara), by complete coincidence now also Easter.

"Eosturmonath has a name which is now translated "Paschal month", and which was once called after a goddess of theirs named Eostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month. Now they designate that Paschal season by her name, calling the joys of the new rite by the time-honoured name of the old observance."  [from De mensibus Anglorum, De temporum ratione. Bede]

Anyway, the reading, firstly: Pieter Cleppe's "The long road to Brexit" on 1828. Margaret Thatcher's momentous 'Bruges Speech' ignored...a potted history from the 1960's to German reunification, ("The euro's creation was mainly the result of longstanding French frustration with the supremacy of Germany’s Bundesbank...") and up to present day and Brexit.


"Referendums were held on the Nice treaty, rejected by the Irish in 2001, the European constitution, rejected by the French and the Dutch in 2005, and its reworked version, the Lisbon treaty, rejected again by the Irish in 2008, who were asked to vote a second time on both."
"The treaty of Maastricht, signed in February 1992…, the UK secured an opt-out. This was the first major British deviation from the European project... "[1992] the Danish population rejected the Maastricht treaty in a referendum, resulting in a Danish opt-out from the euro..."

"Referendums decidedly rejected the EU's preferred outcome in Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, and Hungary. And Britain's Eurosceptics had been craving a referendum on the EU for decades. So in order to stem the rise of Ukip, Cameron offered a public vote on EU membership in January 2013. The rest is history." [sic]

 A very Interesting read. 

Secondly, and somewhat related, "Entrenched: Fifteen years of BBC bias over Europe"; David

Key: pro = pro EU etc.

Keighley's piece on The Conservative Woman. Details from News-watch, or very full details HERE (PDF). Spoiler, it's about a show with Mark Mardell, yes, he of Obamamessiah complex, cringingly tainting BBC's US coverage for several years. Anyhoo, this show was about Brexit; basically, for an example of the bias, 58 speakers (48%) offered a positive opinion on the EU (or former EEC) or a negative opinion on Brexit, whilst 50 speakers (41%) offered a negative opinion on the EU (or former EEC) or a positive opinion on Brexit...doesn't sound too bad you say, but of those speakers a total of 64-71% of speech was pro EU, a 9:4 ratio bias.



The PDF is only 143 pages long...enjoy :-)

Outstanding oration III...

Sorry to be a bit behind the curve but I have been (and will be some more next week) in rural Central and South America. The Donald in outstanding form. The hour came years ago; has - at long last - the man cometh?  President Trump's "remarks" to the People of Poland last week, full text HERE; video HERE.

"This continent no longer confronts the specter of communism. But today we’re in the West, and we have to say there are dire threats to our security and to our way of life. You see what’s happening out there. They are threats. We will confront them. We will win. But they are threats."..."We are confronted by another oppressive ideology - one that seeks to export terrorism and extremism all around the globe. America and Europe have suffered one terror attack after another. We’re going to get it to stop."...

..."Finally, on both sides of the Atlantic, our citizens are confronted by yet another danger -- one firmly within our control. This danger is invisible to some but familiar to the Poles: the steady creep of government bureaucracy that drains the vitality and wealth of the people. The West became great not because of paperwork and regulations but because people were allowed to chase their dreams and pursue their destinies."

..."What we have, what we inherited from our -- and you know this better than anybody, and you see it today with this incredible group of people -- what we've inherited from our ancestors has never existed to this extent before. And if we fail to preserve it, it will never, ever exist again. So we cannot fail." 

..."Our citizens did not win freedom together, did not survive horrors together, did not face down evil together, only to lose our freedom to a lack of pride and confidence in our values. We did not and we will not. We will never back down."

These are just snippets.

Ossoff off...

Karen Handel has done an amazing thing: in a race that was overly expensive and received more than usual national attention (mainly because it was seen as a possible sign of a turning of the tide in the popularity of Donald Trump's presidency) she not only beat the Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff by a Brexitesque margin but in doing so became the first Republican woman to be elected to U.S. Congress from Georgia. And she isn't a shrinking violet RINO, oh no: she is against a minimum wage; supports The Donald's decision to leave the Paris Climate Agreement; opposes abortion; opposes same-sex marriage AND same-sex civil partnerships; she opposes gay adoption of children and totally against any amnesty for illegal immigrants. But most of all...she gave us the wonderful faces of the CNN staff (CNN is based in Atlanta for you UK folk who may not know). So funny.

Oval Office oikology...

President Trump is housekeeping, he is trying to get the house in order; IMHO, so far he hasn't put a foot wrong. The most furor has come against his perfectly reasonable 'Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements'. On this point especially, it seems many agree with The Donald: "All further migration from mainly Muslim countries should be stopped" [Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs]...Agree or disagree? Now this question is way WAY beyond anything President Trump has done but shows that the people of many European countries think along the same lines. Of course the polls have been very wrong lately so this could be rubbish; I somehow feel though that this one is spot on.

President Trump also "makes sense to a grocery store owner"; here is a great article and interview with 'oracle' Nassim Nicholas Taleb. "Well, I'm talking about the United States where I get more credible news from the social media than the mainstream media. [*] But I am very impressed with the Indian media that seems to present both sides of the story." Fancy that, a media organisation just giving the news in a non-partisan way?

"The last crisis hasn’t ended yet because they just delayed it. Obama is an actor... ...he didn’t fix the economic system, he put Novocaine in the system."



The lefties are taking hysteria (modern definition) to whole new levels and we are probably not very far from seeing some of their heads explode as they get more shrill, more incomprehensible, more rabid, more violent (OK, "What's new?" you ask).



Interesting reading: "Trump’s often unorthodox style shouldn’t be confused with his otherwise practical and mostly centrist agenda" [National Review]. I love it, the title is "When Normalcy Is Revolution", it made me think of the foolish lefty oncethmus [**] and how they think they're the 'resistance'; they don't realise that President Trump IS the Resistance, the push back...at last.

Also, "No one should be surprised that postmodern America chose an antihero to be our next president" [The Federalist]. Both the above links from the ever excellent blog Samizdata.



[*] Same in UK, BBC is full of fake news and has gone into overdrive against Trump.
