That’s the heritage of the West. The West jettisoned Christian faith and embraced the facile, ignorant rationalism of Enlightenment. The results have taken a couple of centuries to play out, but here we are. Our domestic policies are utterly disastrous for human flourishing and the common good—and are equaled by our foreign policy. We ignore human nature and historical lessons and plunge into morasses foreign and domestic spouting inane rationalizations and woke incantations that are supposed to magically control and transform reality. With predictable results.
I finally took the trouble to look up Ann Coulter's remarks, supposedly so superior to those of Trump. All I found was the same old, same old fixation on her pet problems, to the exclusion of everything else.
"What Republicans should be doing: talking about the issues Democrats are trying to avoid. What Republicans are doing: talking about Ukraine. Whenever you see any media talking about Ukraine, your Pavlovian response should be, Oh, I see. They don’t want me to think about immigration or crime."
When Trump was President she couldn't understand why, with his pen and his phone, he couldn't ignore all the formalities and solve these problems. Get real. A president has to deal with whatever is going on in the world as it affects America, and given the opposition he faced what President Trump did accomplish was miraculous. I stick by my remarks in my previous comment. "I never cease to be astonished at how little President Trump is appreciated. His every remark is denigrated by people who do not take the trouble to understand what he is saying."
I never cease to be astonished at how little President Trump is appreciated. His every remark is denigrated by people who do not take the trouble to understand what he is saying. Of course one would expect this from Rich Lowry in the NY Post, with his "Self-obsessed Trump’s Putin praise is morally bankrupt", but everybody seems to be joining on the bandwagon this time. Instead of saying "Putin is a brutal killer...Trump couldn’t muster one remotely appropriate sentiment." Correct, Mr. Lowry, but he did come up with the correct analysis, from the point of view of Russia, that 'This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine....Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful... And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper.No, but think of it. Here’s a guy who’s very savvy.”
President Trump also said: “By the way, this never would have happened with us. Had I been in office, not even thinkable,”
Lowry further states: "Trump’s comments were clearly driven, in large part, by his disdain for Joe Biden and his abiding belief that the election was stolen from him." And again Lowry is shocked by the statement "We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen." There are those of us who hold both statements to be true, and assume that if Trump were recognized as President today our lives would be so much better off. Rather than expressing mushy moral sentiments it would be better if what happened in the Ukraine, or for that matter Afghanistan, had never happened, and we wouldn't have to be concerned about Taiwan...or our southern border, crime, inflation, our supply chain, etc,etc,etc.
Extremely depressing to see the reactions of "Conservative" pundits and even more so to see Trump and officials from his admin saying the same things. I already knew most of our politicians are indeed Uniparty warmongers and are not satisfied to just destroy our country - no, they are aiming for the whole of Western Civilization (at the least). Would you believe a number of them won't even foreclose on the possibility of war with Russia? Yeah, shocking I know:

Speaking of barbarism… did you catch Putin’s devastating indictment of western decadence and hypocrisy?
