Pelosi spends much of her time trying to maintain a front — including keeping up her appearance, which involves regular hair reconstruction.
Pelosi’s legacy won’t be her radical progressivism, her tacit approval of communist revolutionaries torching her city, the thousands of homeless on the streets of her district, her failure to rid the country of Donald Trump, her loss of control over her caucus to a bevy of wild-eyed communist twits or even her scandalous enrichment of her family at taxpayer expense.
No. Nancy will be remembered for having her hair done at a hair salon in San Francisco while all hair salons were shut down by her governor, Gavin Newsom, a fellow radical leftist.
Pelosi was recently caught in the raw: shuffling through the back door of a hair salon, wet straggly hair hanging down, without a stitch of COVID masking to be seen.
She was caught on closed-circuit cameras having her hair done, by private appointment, in a salon that was legally closed — without a mask. And when the clip was released to the media, she publicly blamed the owner of the salon, claiming she had been “set up.”
She could have just admitted bad judgment and the story would have died in 24 hours but, you see, the nobility can’t admit to having exercised bad judgment or they wouldn’t be nobility.
You see, Nancy’s middle name is Patricia, meaning regal or noble. A lifetime of political mud-wrestling has left little evidence of what might plausibly have been regal or noble in Nancy Pelosi.
There is, however, a striking resemblance to a real patrician of the late 18th century, Marie Antoinette, the queen wife of King Louis XVI.
Physical and intellectual considerations aside, the resemblance lies in the egotistical, self-entitled lifestyles of the two women. Marie Antoinette had the world at her feet and everything she could possibly desire to satisfy her childish demands — all of which eventually led to her beautifully coiffed cranium being liberated at the guillotine between C4 and C5.
The court of Louis XVI enjoyed everything that money of the day could buy: travel in the finest gilded coaches, the finest clothing styles of the day, private tutored education, unrestrained sex and drugs, prestige, position and power.
Yet that great leveler, the guillotine, brought it all down for even most patrician in French society. Louis, Marie and their entourage never dreamed they might fall from their vaunted positions of privilege, yet fall they did, their heads into the bloodied basket of the scaffold.
How could this happen? How had they lost control? Revolutions are dangerous business.
Nancy Pelosi has refined the craft of politics to a point that would turn the 16th-century Niccoló Machiavelli green with envy.
One dictum from “The Prince,” which Pelosi has certainly memorized, is to never give reason for the lowly masses to laugh or ridicule the queen, for ridicule and humor at the expense of the queen is the beginning of her fall.
The case can be made Pelosi’s fall off her perch began with the election of Donald Trump.
Possessing a low regard for the self-appointed nobility in America, the pompous pontificating pretenders of the Washington, D.C., political class and their billionaire owners, Trump’s very existence has driven the speaker into a curious mental condition, clinically known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, that even the media finds difficult to ignore. But back to the guillotine.
As in the 18th century, the political class and their billionaire owners appear to have forgotten what happened to their class during the French Revolution of 1789-1799: They had their heads chopped off — in public no less. Both the sponsors and the leaders of the Revolution ended up on the gallows.
Revolutions always end with the fomenters’, the leaders’ and the sponsors’ heads in the basket and the current revolutionary turmoil, if successful, can’t possibly end any other way.
Already, the mobs are attacking the homes of their mayoral masters in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis and Chicago.
The mayor of Portland has been forced to leave his $840,000 condo-apartment after the revolution came to his “secure” building; he’s been forced to move to an undisclosed location by the very mob he encouraged and empowered.
Even Queen Pelosi has experienced a gathering of the lowly masses outside her multi-million-dollar home back in her district — an incident not far removed from 1789. It scared the hell out of her — or something along that line.
Revolutions are dangerous, especially for the political class.
Now Nancy Pelosi has been unmasked to her salivating, genuflecting public. She’s just another flawed human being pretending to be something she clearly is not, a very dangerous development for a make-believe queen.
Once the mob realizes she, and scores more like her in America’s political Versailles, is what she is, the cries will not be far away: To the scaffold! Off with her head!

westernjournal--2020-09-14--Dem Nominee Joe Biden’s Four Most Embarrassing Verbal Blunders

Due to a series of embarrassing verbal blunders , Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appears to be mentally deteriorating .
In the many interviews that the 77-year-old has given leading up to the November election , Biden has appeared to be increasingly absent-minded .
Many of the former vice president ’ s answers to questions have appeared half-baked , incorrect or blatantly offensive .
Four of these gaffes of his , however , were especially embarrassing : During an interview with CBS News correspondent Errol Barnett , Biden lashed out at the reporter with some strange accusations in response to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cognitive test .
TRENDING : Pence Will Not Appear at Event After Revelation That Hosts Are QAnon Supporters “ No , I haven ’ t taken a test .
Why the hell would I take a test ?
Come on , man , ” Biden responded to Barnett , appearing to be very defensive .
“ That ’ s like saying to you before you got on this program if you had taken a test , were you taking cocaine or not.
” “ What do you think , huh ?
Are you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accused a black reporter of being a “ junkie , ” the left-leaning establishment media would be using it as proof of the president ’ s alleged racism .
Instead , since their pick for the 2020 election was the one who said it , this verbal blunder was neatly tucked away .
‘ Poor Kids Are Just as Bright and Just as Talented as White Kids ’ During a speech at an Asian and Latino Coalition town hall in Des Moines , Iowa , Biden had one of his worst gaffes yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these schools and have advanced placement programs in these schools .
We have this notion that somehow if you ’ re poor , you can not do it , ” he said to the audience .
RELATED : Biden : ' I Carry with Me , in My Pocket , Do I Have That ?
Anyone ?
Where 's My Staff ?
I Gave It Away' “ Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.
” The former vice president realized the mistake he had made and then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as he attempted a recovery .
“ Wealthy kids , black kids , Asian kids .
No , I really mean it.
” Believe it or not , that isn ’ t even the most racially insensitive verbal blunder to make this list .
‘ You Know , You Know The Thing ’ Perhaps the most embarrassing of any of Biden ’ s verbal blunders came when the Democratic nominee failed at quoting the Declaration of Independence .
It was truly painful to watch as the 77-year-old tried his best to remember how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hold these truths to be self-evident , ” Biden said .
So far , so good , but after this first line , things went downhill fast .
“ All men and women , created by the , you know , you know the thing.
” Believe it or not , there is one Biden gaffe that was even worse than this .
Biden ’ s most cringe-worthy gaffe came during his interview on the popular radio program “ The Breakfast Club , ” which is hosted by a man going by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end of the interview , Charlemagne Tha God suggested that Biden had a long way yet to go to earn the support of black supporters .
Biden ’ s response was borderline racist at best .
“ If you have a problem figuring out whether you ’ re for me or Trump , then you ain ’ t black , ” Biden responded .
Biden later apologized for his comments during a call with black business leaders , during which he said , “ [ I ] shouldn ’ t have been so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apology was too little , too late .
Now this , along with several other racially insensitive verbal blunders Biden has made , is tied to the candidate for the rest of his campaign .

Biden later apologized for his comments during a call with black business leaders, during which he said, “[I] shouldn’t have been so cavalier.”
Unfortunately for Biden, the apology was too little, too late. Now this, along with several other racially insensitive verbal blunders Biden has made, is tied to the candidate for the rest of his campaign.

“The Star-Spangled Banner,” meanwhile, was poorly received by the Ravens.

Travis hit the nail on the head with his take on the team’s decision to stand for what has been portrayed as an anthem for black Americans while so many of the players refused to honor the country that has made them unbelievably rich.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said in a statement Sunday that he supported the players’ “right to protest peacefully,” adding, “This was not a protest against our country, the military or the flag.”

Apologies to Drew Brees, but the anthem protests are about the American flag.

The Browns lost Sunday, but so did those who are pushing the league’s false narrative that protesting during the national anthem merely offers players a high-profile platform to show awareness for the issues they care about.
The league has given rioting, looting and ambushing cops its tacit endorsement as it aligns itself with movements responsible for ugly violence in cities such as Portland, Oregon, and Compton, California.
With the “woke” NFL maligning its once-loyal supporters and turning its games into weekly political conventions, the only recourse for patriotic fans is to steer clear of the league and watch its television ratings plummet.
Professional sports, once overwhelmingly apolitical, are now ground zero in the fight for the soul and the future of the country.
The league’s players are counting on you to give in and accept their leftist political dogmas.
Don’t give them an inch.
You didn’t choose the fight, nor did you want it, but you’re in it.
How will you respond?

westernjournal--2020-09-14--Fred Weinberg: Trump Just Shoved a Hockey Stick Down Dem Gov. Sisolak’s Throat

So President Trump came to hugely supportive Douglas County , Nevada , last weekend and threw feces in a fan aimed at our little governor , aptly named by a conservative commentator “ King Von Sisolak.
” Does anybody except a headline writer at the Las Vegas Review-Journal actually believe that , somehow , the guber didn ’ t send a minion , make a call or do something to communicate to the airport authorities in Reno and Las Vegas to get them to stop Trump ’ s rallies at their facilities ?
After all , his press secretary says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Right .
I ’ ve been involved in Nevada politics literally since the day in 1995 when we bought a radio station in Las Vegas and if our little governor didn ’ t do that he must have had a psychotic break and reformed his persona .

Maybe it was the same guy who wrote that the president was wrong when he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his campaign .
Anyway , the rally went on at an airport where Air Force One couldn ’ t land because it is a Boeing 747 so he did end up in Reno and he got to see the Nevada countryside as his motorcade drove from Reno about 50 miles to Minden .
The president then went on to shove Sisolak ’ s hypocrisy down his throat like a hockey stick .
“ They can have riots and they can have all sorts of things and that ’ s OK , you can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s OK. We call this a protest because if you call it a protest , you ’ re allowed to have it.
” And then he went on to defend himself against a story in a magazine claiming he disparaged our troops which was “ sourced ” by anonymous sources .

Do you know what I ’ m talking about ?

So President Trump came to hugely supportive Douglas County, Nevada, last weekend and threw feces in a fan aimed at our little governor, aptly named by a conservative commentator “King Von Sisolak.”
Here’s a good question:
Does anybody except a headline writer at the Las Vegas Review-Journal actually believe that, somehow, the guber didn’t send a minion, make a call or do something to communicate to the airport authorities in Reno and Las Vegas to get them to stop Trump’s rallies at their facilities?
After all, his press secretary says, “We didn’t.” Right.
I’ve been involved in Nevada politics literally since the day in 1995 when we bought a radio station in Las Vegas and if our little governor didn’t do that he must have had a psychotic break and reformed his persona.
Yet somebody at the RJ wrote a subhead that said the president was in error.
Maybe it was the same guy who wrote that the president was wrong when he said that the Obama administration spied on his campaign.
Anyway, the rally went on at an airport where Air Force One couldn’t land because it is a Boeing 747 so he did end up in Reno and he got to see the Nevada countryside as his motorcade drove from Reno about 50 miles to Minden.
The president then went on to shove Sisolak’s hypocrisy down his throat like a hockey stick. “They can have riots and they can have all sorts of things and that’s OK, you can burn up the house, that’s OK. We call this a protest because if you call it a protest, you’re allowed to have it.”

westernjournal--2020-09-14--Steve Baldwin: Here’s a Handy Guide to Biden and Harris’ Despicable Rioting Comments

One of the most important issues this election is law and order and whether our leaders will restore order to our cities , allow the police to do the job they were trained to do and punish those who assault people and destroy property .
Various polls indicate this is one of the biggest issues for the Republican base as well as for many independent voters and moderate Democrats .
And this is why Joe Biden has abruptly pivoted from first pandering to his leftist anti-police base to now pretending he ’ s for law and order .
Biden even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to blame for all the urban violence in America .
This is an astounding allegation , even by Biden standards , but the left and its media allies are hoping that if they lie enough about this , some low-information voters will be persuaded to vote for Biden .
That being the case , it is important to list the many indicators that a Biden-Harris government will be influenced and controlled by the leftist ideologues who support the thugs destroying our cities , looting our businesses and randomly killing people since the rioting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last two months , Democratic mayors and city councils have defunded the police in over a dozen cities with more coming .
Trump has condemned these actions but Biden has been silent on this .
TRENDING : CNN Hosts Lemon and Cuomo Launch Into Unhinged Rant Against Poor White People Indeed , all of these liberal mayors are Biden supporters and almost all of them have refused offers of assistance from Trump such as sending in the National Guard .
Every major police union and association in America that has endorsed in this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They know the difference .
The “ Unity Task Force ” composed of both the Biden and Sanders wings of the Democratic Party , issued a document calling for “ reimagining ” the police , claiming our crime-infested large cities are “ overpoliced , ” alleging that “ millions of people in our country have good reason to fear they may lose their lives in a routine traffic stop ” and calling for abolishing cash bail and banning the police from wearing all military-type gear .
The document also calls for banning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as if that actually occurs in big-city police departments dominated by minorities .
These are all concepts and code words used by the far-left BLM crowd for stripping police of the necessary tools to combat crime .
This document was produced by many of the same people running Biden ’ s campaign today and , of course , Biden has accepted this policy document as his own agenda in return for support from the far left .
Biden himself said that police funding should “ absolutely ” be redirected , which can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of funds , but his handlers and the so-called “ fact-check ” groups are busy trying to spin this statement as meaning something else .
Right .
Biden ’ s running mate , Kamala Harris , said about protests : “ Everyone beware .
They ’ re not gon na stop before election day in November , and they ’ re not gon na stop after election day … They ’ re not gon na let up and they should not.
” This was before she was Biden ’ s running mate , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reason to believe this is her real position .
And that statement certainly didn ’ t scare Biden away from electing her as his running mate .
More than a dozen Biden campaign staffers have contributed to the Minnesota Freedom Fund , which bails out violent protestors arrested for destroying property and looting , including an accused murderer and a convicted sex offender .
Kamala Harris herself has urged people to contribute to this same fund .
Biden has spoken favorably about violent riots in the past .
On Aug. 9 , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ six years since Michael Brown ’ s life was taken in Ferguson – reigniting a movement.
” But Brown was a thug who had just finished shoplifting and was shot after assaulting a policeman and reaching for a gun .
Even the Obama DOJ exonerated the cop .
The Brown incident was not an unjustified police shooting as Biden claims , but instead was about a policeman following standard procedure .
Nonetheless , Biden apparently believes the phony Michael Brown narrative promoted by the anti-police movement that it was all about race ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shot while holding up his hands up ( also determined to be false ) .
Key staffers of both the Biden and Harris presidential campaigns have been involved with the Ford Foundation , which has donated millions to groups seeking to “ defund the police.
” The Democratic Party convention met for four nights and never mentioned the ongoing looting and destruction in cities across America , let alone condemn it .
Biden , as the party ’ s nominee , exerts great influence over the convention agenda and so it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to ignore the most urgent issue of the day .
In Biden ’ s recent “ anti-violence ” speech , he laid most of the blame on the right , claiming the real instigators are “ right-wing militias , white supremacists , vigilantes – who infiltrate protests carrying weapons of war.
” But that ’ s just not reality .
The overwhelming majority of the violence Americans are witnessing on the nightly news involves leftist protesters like members of antifa .
The few “ right-wing ” people who have dared to engage the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their neighborhoods or businesses .
This is typical Biden spin in which he tries to reach out to moderates on one hand by condemning violence but also tries to appease the far left by blaming the violence on a few brave local defenders .
This is despicable .
Neither Biden or Harris has condemned BLM or antifa by name .
If it were the KKK destroying thousands of business and attacking cops , would they have called them out by name ?
You bet .
But neither one will call out BLM or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to offend their own radical base .
Biden not only has refused to condemn BLM and antifa for the violence but has also praised the protests as a “ wake up call for our nation ” and has slammed Trump for allowing federal police to use tear gas on the rioters .
Biden spent eight years as vice president to perhaps the most anti-law enforcement president in American history .
Over and over again , the Obama DOJ went after police departments all over the country based on the far-left assumption that all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shooting incident involving a minority justified a massive civil rights investigation .
Over and over again , their assumptions proved wrong .
If anyone really thinks that Biden has suddenly converted to a pro-law and order candidate , they are simply not paying attention to his history or even to his actions in the last six months .

Stevie Lee, born Stevie Lee Richardson and known as “Puppet the Psycho Dwarf” died on Wednesday at the age of 54. His passing was unexpected.
“Steve ‘Puppet The Psycho Dwarf’ Lee Richardson unexpectedly passed away on Wednesday, September 9, 2020 at his home in the morning,” his family wrote on his GoFundMe page. “He was beloved by many, has many friends that were family, and a countless number of fans that adored him.”
Lee, who had achondroplasia dwarfism, was well known for his wrestling and his acting. Starting as a wrestler in 2002, he adopted the name “Puppet the Psycho Dwarf” and often went by the name “Puppet.”
He began the wrestling company “Half-Pint Brawlers,” which became a reality show by the same name in 2010, and found his way as an actor in the movie “Jackass 3D” and the television series “American Horror Story: Freak Show.”
He was also a motivational speaker, and on his website addressed the importance of having family that shows up for you, according to Legacy.
“I’m the only person living with dwarfism in my family, where I always had loving, supportive parents and spouse throughout my childhood and adult life,” he wrote.
“With that support and backbone, I was constantly involved in a lot of activities as a child (sports, theater, and hobbies) and therefore with these experiences I found myself not afraid to start relationships, projects, and self employment.”
“Even early on in life my mother would tell the story on how I would see people stare at me, and my first reaction was to walk up to them to introduce myself with a hug. I guess at the time I didn’t realize that I was physically different or maybe awkward looking toward individuals in society.”
“In life as a young child I had to learn early on how to deal with being physically different from everyone else I was around.”
He embraced that difference moving forward, and based his career on it.
One man who worked with Lee on a news piece recalled how good-natured Lee was, sharing an amusing story on the GoFundMe started for the wrestler, actor and family man.
“We planned our gimmick … I’d ‘belittle’ his industry, he’d knock me to my knees and slam me to the ring,” wrote Shawn Tempesta. “We practiced. Went great. Then we went live.”
“Everything was the same, except I had a microphone with a 3-sided mic flag in my hand. Big mistake. When my face headed towards the ground, the mic flag flattened up against the ring, leaving a pointy dagger for my face to land on. Huge gash to my cheek. Half an inch away from my eyeball and my newly crowned teeth. Bled on live TV.”
“As soon as they dropped the shot, he was really concerned. Considering it was just a flesh wound, I thought it was hilarious, demo worthy and a great story to tell. He was a great guy to interview, and from what I’ve read a great guy beyond that. SUPER sorry to hear about his passing.”

Following the return of sports from the purgatory that was the coronavirus pandemic, ratings were expected to be higher than ever.
However, with their return, most sports leagues brought with them pandering to the radical Black Lives Matter movement. This has been a big turnoff to large numbers of fans, as the polling data from Gallup shows.

westernjournal--2020-09-14--Clinton Humiliated When Claim Trump Should ‘Care Whether His Fellow Americans Live or Die’ Backfires

Maybe they start hitting the chardonnay early in Chappaqua .
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton , the woman who once asked a congressional committee if it mattered why four Americans died at the hands of an Islamic mob during the 2012 attack on U.S. diplomats in Libya , decided to take to Twitter on Monday morning with a weighty take on the November presidential race .
But if she was trying to pick a ground to attack President Donald Trump , she could hardly have chosen worse .
“ We deserve a president who cares whether his fellow Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a tweet that lacked a link to explain the context — giving the impression that it just popped into her head on the back porch ( maybe just after she ’ d popped the cork off another bottle of the vino she ’ s been known to imbibe ) .
TRENDING : CNN Hosts Lemon and Cuomo Launch Into Unhinged Rant Against Poor White People Even giving the failed Democratic presidential candidate the benefit of the doubt and presuming she might have been taking a cheap shot at President Donald Trump and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Wuhan virus pandemic , the jaw-dropping arrogance is astounding .
And it didn ’ t go unnoticed .
This is a woman who served as the Obama administration ’ s chief diplomat for four years — and displayed not only a complete disregard for her country ’ s laws ( in the email scandal that probably killed her chances of the presidency ) but also , in the case of the Sept. 11 , 2012 , attack on the American diplomatic post in Benghazi , a shocking lack of feeling over the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Department staffer and two CIA operatives who were also former Navy SEALs .
Those four deaths were far from the only American casualties resulting from the Obama administration ’ s criminal incompetence — Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry , killed by a weapon lost in operation “ Fast and Furious , ” and Islamic State group kidnap victim Kayla Mueller leap to mind .
But Ambassador Christopher Stevens , State Department public information officer Sean Smith and CIA security contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty became the very public faces of the Obama @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths at the hands of Islamic terrorists became the subject of repeated lies from the administration .
And it was during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on those lies in 2013 that Clinton committed her now-infamous outburst .
“ The fact is , we had four dead Americans , ” she told Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin .
“ Was it because of a protest ?
Or because of guys out for a walk one night decided they ’ d go kill some American ?
What difference , at this point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it made quite a bit of difference to the Obama White House , such a difference that it choreographed the lie told by then-United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice that the mob was infuriated by an internet video no one had seen .
( With a re-election bid at stake , the Obama team couldn ’ t afford to let Americans know dangerous terrorists hadn ’ t been placated by four years of appeasement . )
It made a difference to Americans who cared about not only the lives of their fellow citizens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that four-plus years – at that point – of President Barack Obama ’ s fecklessness had put the country in .
And it made a difference to many , many Twitter commenters who showered a humiliating cascade of responses on Clinton ’ s ill-thought tweet .
There ’ s no denying that the numbers of American dead from the coronavirus pandemic have been appalling .
There ’ s also no denying that at least some responsibility for those deaths has to be shared by governments at all levels ( like , say , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s decision to force nursing homes in his state to accept coronavirus-infected patients , who ended up infecting thousands more ) .
For Hillary Clinton , or any Democrat , to attempt to argue that Trump ’ s handling of the coronavirus indicates he doesn ’ t care whether Americans live or die is beyond wrong — it borders on the pathological .
Before the coronavirus hit , Trump ’ s administration had seen improvements for American lives by demonstrable standards that mean something – record-low unemployment , for instance .
His foreign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country ’ s enemies where possible – the savages of the Islamic State and their hideous “ caliphate , ” Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani – and arranging peace agreements between Israel and Arab countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain .
All of that will lead to a safer world , and invariably fewer American deaths , whether military , diplomatic or civilian .
The fact is , while Trump has been attacked relentlessly by congressional Democrats and their incestuous allies in the mainstream news media and entertainment culture , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that puts America first — and that very much includes American lives .
That should be a sobering fact for Democrats heading into the November election .
Maybe it will even help in Chappaqua .

There’s no denying that the numbers of American dead from the coronavirus pandemic have been appalling. There’s also no denying that at least some responsibility for those deaths has to be shared by governments at all levels (like, say, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s decision to force nursing homes in his state to accept coronavirus-infected patients, who ended up infecting thousands more).
For Hillary Clinton, or any Democrat, to attempt to argue that Trump’s handling of the coronavirus indicates he doesn’t care whether Americans live or die is beyond wrong — it borders on the pathological.
Before the coronavirus hit, Trump’s administration had seen improvements for American lives by demonstrable standards that mean something – record-low unemployment, for instance.
Do you think Hillary Clinton expected this backlash? Yes No

His foreign policy has been aimed at wiping out the country’s enemies where possible – the savages of the Islamic State and their hideous “caliphate,” Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani – and arranging peace agreements between Israel and Arab countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
All of that will lead to a safer world, and invariably fewer American deaths, whether military, diplomatic or civilian.
The fact is, while Trump has been attacked relentlessly by congressional Democrats and their incestuous allies in the mainstream news media and entertainment culture, his term in office has been one that puts America first — and that very much includes American lives.
Sane Americans understand that.
