President Trump and his administration have been in office for just over 500 days. But America is back on track, business and consumer confidence has returned, the nation’s economic engines are again firing on all cylinders, more people are employed than ever before, and the stock markets continue to surge at record levels. A major factor in all these highly positive developments has been the changed mindset in two important federal government offices: the Department of the Interior and Environmental Protection Agency.
The following article recaps some of the major changes these two offices have initiated – ensuring that the United States is once again producing its abundant fossil fuel energy and operating under commonsense environmental policies and regulations. Just imagine what the next 950 or 2400 days will bring!

Iraq’s Miss Universe Visits Israel’s Miss Universe… In Israel
Makes me want to weep. Two lovely women want to visit each other. What's wrong with that?

People are getting stupider, and the cause appears to be environmental rather than genetic, according to recent research.

I warned everyone, but few listened.
When Missouri Governor Eric Greitens was taken out with political prosecutions, I warned that this was a dry run for the real target - Donald Trump. The Democrats and their media allies wanted to see if they could take out a duly elected Republican governor, and they succeeded. There were two charges brought against Greitens, one for felony invasion of privacy for photographing a woman he was sexually involved with without her permission (and it turns out there was no photograph, but the activist prosecutor in the case was pursuing a strategy of bankrupting the Governor, winning by attrition) and the second charge was misusing a donar list from his charity. The second charge was gearing up and so Greitens simply couldn't keep fighting. It was the second charge - refered to the offiice of the District Attorney by the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate Josh Hawley - that finally forced Greitens out. Greitens was a reform minded candidate much in the mold of Donald Trump. more...

It was one wild swinging party at the FBI before James "Ashley Wilkes" Comey got canned. According to Fox News, journalists were buying information from all over the agency with all manner of gifts and beads and baubbles.

From Humberto Fontova's piece on the late chef Anthony Bourdain and his fawning over the Castro regime"
Let a Fake News reporter confront a Republican official, and he's a roaring, jabbing, snarking Torquemada. North of the Florida Straits and in front of Republicans no question is too rude, irrelevant or offensive; no demeanor too haughty, combative or insolent.
But just let these identical paragons of "feistiness" cross the Florida Straits and find themselves in front of "President" Castro or any of his apparatchiks—and suddenly he’s Eddie Haskell addressing June Cleaver.

A few days ago I posted a story here, mostly taken from Wikipedia, about that Jewish West Point grad, lawyer and physical trainer for the Army Rangers from Brooklyn who used his West Point class connections to get off a desk and parachute behind German lines on D-Day with the 101st Airborne even though he never jumped with a parachute before. Later he went to Israel and was appointed the first General in the Israeli Army since the time of the Bible.
U.S. Col. Marcus died under suspicious circumstances in Israel, as opposing factions in the Israeli military didn't want an American as their commander. more...

Donald Trump lives rent free inside the media's little wooden noggins. Case in point; upset that President Trump (my how that first part galls the media, who still refuse to admit they were unable to drag Hillary's rather bloated carcass across the electoral finish line) tweeted an eye poke about how the media is the enemy of the American People, CNN's Wolf Blitzer (yeah; he's definitely blitzed) howled:
"We Are Not the Enemy of the American People, We love the American People"
End quote.
This after railing against the President for not just accepting their criticisms with head hung low, as previous Republicans have done.

This from Americans for Limited Government:
Printus LeBlanc
While the U.S. has been paying attention to the G7 summit and the historic meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, another event that could have a majorforeign policy and economic impact on America is unfolding before our very eyes. A Chinese company with close ties to the Chinese Communist government is attempting to buy the company that runs the Port of Long Beach. Who is the company and why is this a bad idea?

Today American Thinker ran another discussion on Reparations payments to black descendants of slaves. It is a good article. It included these words:
BEGIN QUOTE
This brings us back to the fact that blacks weren't suddenly treated fairly the day that the South surrendered.
Perhaps we should look at the group that fought the Civil War to keep slavery legal, the group that founded the KKK, the group that passed all the racist Jim Crow laws in the South, the group that fought to keep schools segregated, the group that passed a welfare plan that destroyed black families, the group that has supported genocide against black people – according to Jesse Jackson – the group that ignores thousands of blacks being shot each year in cities that it runs, the group that wants to deny inner-city blacks a decent education...that's right, the Democrats!
END QUOTE
I felt compelled to add, once again, the same comment I have posted in the past when the topic of Reparations is brought up at American Thinker. Here below is that comment of mine:
Almost every time reparations comes up at Amer. Thinker, I have to post the unique story of my family's personal history.
My father was a Jew in the Polish Army in WWII who, as a Prisoner of War, did slave labor for the Nazi regime. After the war, he received monthly reparations checks for slave labor. When he died, those checks came to an end. I am not entitled to continued slave labor reparations. In fact, I had to send his last check back to the German Consulate in NY because he died before the first of the month. The German government required annual proof of his being alive, so any attempt on my part to "appropriate" and cash a check or two or three after his death (I actually had a relative who suggested I should have done this later on) would have probably resulted in my arrest for some crime and my name and possible picture in the NY Post and NY Daily News. So I returned the last check with a letter and a copy of my dad's death certificate to the Consulate. I did not start a street protest about how my not getting new checks was "an attack on my civil rights" or "unfair" or "racist" or "antisemitic." more...

Power Line's Steven Hayward dangles this one in front of us, tantalizingly. I know, I know; climate change is that will o' the wisp the leftists love to hit us over the head with, mainly hoping to take our gas-powered cars away from us, and if somebody ever comes up with something that really works, they won't be able to do that, as Hayward points out at the end here. But this is worthy to read, and not all that long.

Somehow I don't think this will have the desired effec.
From Powerline:
The Democratic National Committee voted over the weekend to ban donations from fossil fuel companies, HuffPost has learned.
The resolution ― proposed by Christine Pelosi, a party activist and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s daughter ― bars the organization from accepting contributions from corporate political action committees tied to the oil, gas and coal industries. The executive committee voted unanimously to approve the motion. . .
End excerpt.
My, my! I keep hearing that the donkeys are trailing the elephants in fundraising, yet here they are, adopting policies that will cut their income even more. Doesn't sound smart to me. It's just more virtue-signalling.
Hayward finishes the article with a real kicker: one I'm sure we could all see coming:
Here’s a thought: how about "walking the walk†by literally . . . walking. How about the DNC pass a resolution that forthwith all Democrats will refrain from buying gasoline, natural gas, and coal-fired electricity. Sell all your cars and ride bicycles everywhere instead. Hold the next Democratic National Convention online to save all those carbon emissions from delegates who will otherwise fly.
More confirmation—as is any more is needed—that liberalism has been reduced to gestures to make liberals feel good about themselves.

Wherein I discover that I actually shared a bond with the late potty-mouthed celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain.
The embedded snippet is practically unreadable. No, it's a good copy. It's just incomprehensible -- to me, at least. Dear Lord! People actually write this kind of thing and expect to be taken seriously?

The VA’s latest betrayal of Vietnam veterans
From the article:
"President Trump just signed the Mission Act, which is supposed to help ailing US veterans get prompt care, including the ability to see a civilian doctor on Uncle Sam’s tab.
Don’t count on it.
The fine print shows that vets are guaranteed nothing. The Veterans Affairs secretary is simply empowered to make rules for who gets civilian care. Though Trump and his pick for secretary, Robert Wilkie, favor making it easy for vets, Wilkie’s rules could last only as long as Wilkie remains in office. Worse, they don’t go into effect for two and a half years.
That’s too late for the hundreds of Vietnam vets, now in their 60s and early 70s, who are carrying a dangerous parasite picked up in Asia called liver fluke. Many don’t know it, but it’s a ticking time bomb likely to kill them.
Read the rest at the New York Post.

A quick thought; we are hearing a lot these days about the plight of children of illegal aliens being separated from their lawbreaking kin, and how terrible that is. Take, for instance this article where the New York Times bemoans the evil of arresting illegal aliens and putting their children into foster care. How horrible!
