“Recently, the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee released a memo officially stating that there is no evidence of any collusion between Donald Trump and Russian intelligence during the 2016 presidential election. Of course, you might not have heard this news if you have been punishing yourself by watching or reading any of the mainstream news. For its part, the mainstream media continues to prop up the improbable narrative that Donald Trump is a Russian agent of influence who is out to corrupt our democracy in Vladimir Putin’s name.
Not only is the mainstream media dutifully covering the ongoing Robert Mueller special investigation, but the media is also transfixed on the continuing drama that is the “porn star and the president.” While the former story of Trump being a Manchurian Candidate is, frankly, absurd, given the president’s history of skirt chasing, claims that Trump paid hush money to an adult film star he had an 11-month affair with in 2006 are entirely believable. In fact, MSNBC is insisting that Trump be charged with obstruction of justice for having paid $130,000 to the adult film star, known as “Stormy Daniels,” on the eve of his unlikely 2016 election victory.
Many of my fellow Rightists continue demanding, “Who cares?” However, we should care about what the Democrats and their cronies in the media believe. After all, a sizable portion of the country does listen to the mainstream media. More importantly, the people who run the country — the elected representatives and their advisers living in Washington, D.C. — listen to what Joe Scarborough and Jake Tapper broadcast every day. While they need us plebes to vote for them, our political leaders (particularly those in the GOP establishment) live in Washington, D.C. and therefore crave the approval of people like Chuck Todd (which will never come).
Besides, the special prosecutor’s investigation into claims of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election is weakening the Trump Administration with each day (not because there is anything to the investigation, but because the investigation itself complicates the already-herculean task of governing). Like all special investigations, former FBI director Robert Mueller’s probe is a virtually limitless inquiry into the president and his top advisers. Given that career federal prosecutors, like Mueller, are conditioned to get a conviction — any conviction — by the end of the investigation, do not doubt that Robert Mueller will find whatever he can to try to hang around the president’s neck.”
There’s something more also: Mueller is now deep-diving into the Trump Organization’s financial records (as well as Jared Kushner’s financial dealings). Should there be any impropriety — no matter how innocuous — in the Trump financial records, Mueller will have all that he needs to try to take Trump down.
Remember, Donald Trump is not — and never has been — a part of the elite, corporate political class that rules our country (the “permanent bipartisan fusion party,” as Michael Walsh calls it). No matter how much money Trump had, he could never fully be embraced as one of the elite, whether as a Democrat or a Republican. Trump’s stunning (for the elite) election to the presidency in 2016 offended every sensibility and taste of the Davoisie.
Trump was a clear threat to the Democrats because he upended their plans to finally realize James Carville’s 2009 declaration that the Democrats would rule for another 40 years. Trump’s rhetoric of draining the swamp made him an enemy of the so-called “deep state” which operates Washington, D.C. Moreover, Trump — and the people who voted for Trump — threatened the little fiefdom that the Bill Kristols, David Brookses, and Mitch McConnells of the GOP had in Washington, D.C. and New York. Like Caesar, Trump is “surrounded by enemies, and something is underway, but it has no face, yet everybody in the loop knows.”
The continual prospect of Mueller recommending impeachment for President Trump is aligning nicely with the 2018 midterms. If the 2018 midterms were happening under normal circumstances, it is likely that the Republicans would have little concern. Think about it: from a policy standpoint, President Trump has been the most effective Republican president since Ronald Reagan. Yet, these are anything but normal circumstances.
While I continue to believe that the House Republicans will fare well in the 2018 midterms, the fact of the matter is that the Democrats just need two seats to retake control of the Senate. With that majority, a Democratic-led Senate can further complicate the Trump Administration’s ability to govern by drowning it in more inquiries and investigations. As we’ve seen in the last two years of American politics, anything can happen. It’s conceivable that the Democrats could achieve this two-seat victory in the Senate (especially with their base as riled up as it has been). On the House side, the Democrats have a more difficult challenge: they need to win 21 of the 24 contested House seats in 2018. If they can accomplish that task, the Democrats will have a majority. Even without capturing the House, should they win the Senate back, the Democrats can further damage Trump heading into 2020.
Should Mueller find some financial impropriety, or should he determine that Trump obstructed justice with his $130,000 payout to Stormy Daniels, Mueller can recommend impeachment. Even if the Democrats are unable to flip the House, it is likely that Trump’s enemies in the Republican Party establishment will smell weakness, and take advantage. The Democrats would probably call for impeachment, but it would be the establishment Republicans who ultimately allowed for Trump’s takedown. This would be key because impeachment is not a legal process. Rather, it is a political one.
And, just like that, the old, tired, political narrative would be restored: the “true” conservatives, as led by Pence, would be facing a younger, resurgent Democratic candidate — like Julián Castro — and permanent Democratic Party control would be affirmed. Meanwhile, the Republican establishment’s members-only fiefdom would be secured. It’s a win-win for everyone in Washington. Meanwhile, we, the people get hosed.
The 2018 midterm election is the most important election of this century. It could quite seriously determine the fate of Trump’s presidency and the course of American history. The vipers in Washington are slithering forward, hoping for any excuse to expel Trump from the White House, and return things to the way they used to be. The GOP and President Trump need to fight for each and every seat in 2018, lest the Democrats do a complete end-run around the Right, and ensure that the United States becomes just another banana republic, with one-party rule; sham democracy; and oodles of debt. If the GOP can keep its majorities in 2018, then the Right can continue its much-needed counterrevolution against the radical Left.

“Fox News just announced an upcoming series about the plight of Men in America.
“Men seem to be becoming less male,” Tucker Carlson said. “Something ominous is happening[.] … Men are taught there is something wrong with them. We took a close look at the numbers, and we found them so shocking that we’re devoting the month of March to a special series on men in America.”
Carlson concluded, “You’ll be stunned by the scope of the crisis. We were. It’s a largely ignored disaster. It affects every person in America.”
He noted, for example: “Men account for 77 percent of the nation’s suicides, they are more than twice as likely to become alcoholics, they are more likely to die of an overdose than women, and 90 percent of inmates are men.”
So what are the causes? Eighteen years ago, Christina Hoff Sommers published The War on Boys: How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men. Sommers concluded, “It’s a bad time to be a boy in America. Boys are less likely than girls to go to college or do their homework. They’re more likely to cheat on tests, wind up in detention, or drop out[.]” In short, Sommers found the causes in feminist theory and, more surprisingly, inside the nation’s classrooms.
The dirty big secret here is that our public schools don’t announce social engineering; they simply do it, especially with regard to altering how children view themselves. Public schools suppress boys and uplift girls in many furtive ways. This manipulation has been hugely successful: 57% of college students are female; 43% are male. More women stay in college and earn advanced degree. Women wear business suits, and men drive pickup trucks. Culturally similar men and women who used to marry each other are now separated by class differences!
The question still haunts us: how exactly are America’s social engineers able to win this war for females?
The discussion is tricky from every point of view. However you might describe boys and girls, you’ll invite argument about what is good and what is bad. If you say girls are “more sensitive,” is that an insult or a compliment? The Atlantic Monthly nicely dances among many competing viewpoints:
[A] host of cross-cultural studies show that females … are more apt to plan ahead, set academic goals, and put effort into achieving those goals. They also are more likely than boys to feel intrinsically satisfied with the whole enterprise of organizing their work, and more invested in impressing themselves and their teachers with their efforts[.] … On the whole, boys approach schoolwork differently. They are more performance-oriented. Studying for and taking tests taps into their competitive instincts. For many boys, tests are quests that get their hearts pounding.
David Sortino, a teacher, argues on his blog: “[G]irls work best when sitting in a circle facing each other and find it more comfortable to learn in a group setting. Instead, boys often excel in a traditional class structure with desks lined in rows, which could support their more competitive energies and attention getting behaviors.
“Girls respond to stress as a threat, which drives blood to the gut rather than to the brain, placing them in a fight or flight persona. However, for boys, it’s the opposite. They love to take risks and almost always overestimate their abilities.”
QED: There are big, very real differences. We should wonder if these differences are artificially induced and then exaggerated. Oh, so that’s why some schools have all students sitting around tables – because it’s good for girls…?
What we know for sure is that girls are outperforming boys at all levels. Is this good for the country? Is it good for the girls?
The Economist reported:
A new study by the OECD [Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development], a club of mostly rich countries, examined how 15-year-old boys and girls performed at reading, mathematics and science. Boys still score somewhat better at maths, and in science the genders are roughly equal. But when it comes to the students who really struggle, the difference is stark: boys are 50% more likely than girls to fall short of basic standards in all three areas [emphasis added].
Why are girls performing better at school than their male classmates?
“First,” according to the OECD study, “girls read more than boys. Reading proficiency is the basis upon which all other learning is built. When boys don’t do well at reading, their performance in other school subjects suffers too.”
The basis upon which all other learning is built. That is ominous. Suppose social engineers figured out how to undercut reading.
One statistical site states that “[w]omen are more likely to develop solid reading skills. Around 38% of men report reading at the lowest proficiency levels, compared to 33% for women.”
Suppose our social engineers routinely seek to widen this gap. That would be feasible because boys and girls respond in different ways to absurd instruction.
Girls, as noted, feel more comfortable in a group setting. They want the whole group to move along harmoniously; they want their teacher to be successful. The result is that they are more patient and long-suffering with dumb curricula and wrongly trained teachers. Boys, on the other hand, are not so patient. If there is a skill or a task, boys want to do well quickly. Fair enough. But what if the curriculum is inherently stupid and impossible to master? Boys at some point will declare, I can’t do this. I don’t want to do this. I’m walking away.
Today, in Common Core, we see many absurdities almost perfectly designed to drive boys to escape and evasion. The internet is full of videos of children weeping because instruction seems so illogical. Little seven-year-olds are already beat up.
But the paradigm of stupid instruction remains Whole Word. That’s where the student has to memorize the English language one word at a time. The famous Dr. Samuel Orton, a neurologist, did a study in 1926-28 and declared that this method doesn’t work…and, in addition, it will damage every child it touches. He was exactly correct, and the Education Establishment knows it. What do we see in the schools of America? Millions of semi-literate children with messed up minds.
StatisticBrain claims that 32 million Americans “can’t read.” Tens of millions more read marginally. This is a vast national tragedy. Ask yourself, why is this tolerated? Perhaps because it makes the population easier to control. Perhaps because it enables the stratification of the sexes.
You want to fix it? Fix reading. I think the smarter people understand this. But the Education Establishment won’t let go because this particular stupid curriculum is the foundation for making women more successful and making men less successful.
Here is a good overview by TeacherMag:
But what if today’s classroom and curriculum structure catered (however unintentionally) to one gender more than the other? Many researchers say this is now the case, with boys facing an upward struggle from primary school on. For many boys, co-educational public schools can be uncomfortable, unfriendly, unproductive places. Teaching styles and disciplinary habits are often not suited to the average boy[.] … In learning environments biased against their strengths, boys may become turned off or frustrated and may attempt to have their needs met by seeking negative attention. This rebellion completes the circle of failure … with many boys labelled as troublemakers or diagnosed with hyperactivity.
That can mean drugs, which make boys weaker and less manly….”
Note by ghr: There is no doubt that compared to the almost three generations I have lived the American ‘girl’ (by birth) has been butched up in feature and dress, fattened up tremendously everywhere, and ditsier by head. Mother is working. Dad might be absent. Schools have become empty of learning, loaded with twits of all ages and sexes. No history is taught. No history books allowed for they advance the story of the human male…..a crime of the first order in the fascist state of Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary R. Clinton.
What IS taught is the garbage poison arriving from feminist mouths of all colors, shapes, sexes and sizes, that there is no differences between human female and male animals.
