We really
do hope that Hillary Clinton is enjoying a nice mouthful of crow this Presidents Day. A meal which she'll be sharing with a
lot of Democrats whose insane natterings are catching up with them in recent news cycles.
High in those ranks, and we
do mean "rank," would be alleged actor Jussie Smollett whose allegations of being the victim - rather than the instigator - of a hate crime have completely unravelled...
As a general rule of thumb which is almost
always true, if a "hate crime" has no witnesses other than the "victim," and involves a MAGA hat, a noose, or a swastika,
the story is a lie. That may sound harsh, but in case after case after case it's true. Victimhood is the Olympic Gold Medal of Progressivism, and in today's media climate it's a very low bar to clear.
But is there any real harm committed when so-called "hate crimes" are completely faked? Absolutely. Because it makes any real victims in the future less likely to be believed, increases hate and division in our country, and steals resources from police and intelligence agencies.
Remember when Bill Clinton was president and there was a rash of black church burnings committed by godawful racists?! It got national attention (albeit a lot
less attention was given to the subsequent revelation that the churches were being burned by blacks). But so serious was this supposed outbreak of racism that president Clinton reassigned the agencies who were
supposed to be keeping an eye on Osama bin Laden to solving the church burnings. Yeah,
that worked out well.
Smollet, who apparently hired his "attackers" from the cast of his own TV show, needs to go to jail for a long time over this stunt.
And every Trump voter should receive groveling apologies from the numerous "news" outlets, politicians, and celebrities who gleefully spread this appalling lie...though that will never happen.
And speaking of things that will never happen, let us turn our sights on Joe Biden as he ramps up his efforts to become our next president...
Recreating Obama's infamous "Apology Tour," Joe Biden traveled to Munich to
disparage our nation as an "embarrassment" for our treatment of (ahem) "refugees." Apparently Old Joe hasn't really been paying attention to what's been happening to Germany now that they're
drowning in hostile refugees.
It turns out that it's just
never a good idea to look to Germany for moral guidance when it comes to setting government policies for dealing with large masses of people.
Rather, we prefer President Trump's distinctive style...
Trump's declaration of a national emergency to build the wall strikes us as no more nutty (and not much less) than all of the nonsense currently being committed by the Left. So despite the fact that he could have gotten
better deals (which were on the table) in the recent past, we're more or less cool with him getting the job done, or at least started, the "Trump way."
In a world where everything is pretty much crazy all the time, the wall comes pretty darn close to making sense. Which is, as they say, good enough for government work.
