Trump is suing CBS News for election tampering by editing the disastrous 60 Minutes Harris interview in her favor.

This is how you do it; go after these scumbags in their citadels of pwoer!

The Donald filed a ten billion dollar lawsuit. In a sane world he'd win. But this isn't a sane world.

This is what we must do; the media no longer even pretends to be unbiased, and when they cross the line we MUST hold them to account via the courts. Even if we lose we need to tie them up in endless litigation and force them on the defensive. Now they are always on the offensive and it is WE who are fighting a rear-guard action. That has to stop.

When was the last time the Right actually launched a strike against the Left? We may launch counter-strikes but it is THEY who drive all actions, they who take the initiative. Defense is a losing strategy if you do not ever engage in an offensive.

The great Chinese military philosopher Sun Tzu had this to say about the matter:

"Security against defeat implies defensive tactics; ability to defeat the enemy means taking the offensive."

And we have been content with a dubious security all along as they make endless inroads into our strongholds, "seizing that which the enemy (we) hold dear" as Tzu also admonishes a leader to do. I mean, they have gone after the Boy Scouts, the military, our children. How much is left of what we once held dear? And still we sit and wait for the next attack.

George Patton once said fixed fortifications are a monument to Man's stupidity. Patton was all offense. While there certainly is a place for defensive strategy - it worked for George Washington and it worked for Sam Houston - it often fails as it did for Robert E. Lee and at some point you simply have to attack. Washington did at Trenton and Princeton; his army was falling apart, starving and half naked and it was a bone-cold winter and a huge snowstorm and his men's enlistments were running out. Washingto did a crazy thing and attacked and won. It was one of his rare victories (the other being Second Bunker Hill, where he also attacked). And had Washington not played defense his army would have been destroyed, surely, but at some point you just have to attack. He ALMOST didn't do it at YORKTOWN; the French had to tell him he had won the war because he wanted to move north! Ditto Sam Houston who refused to engage Santa Ana and then attacked when cornered and wiped the Mexicans out - and captured the Napoleon of the West", forcing him to sign a surrender making Texas free.

(Of course Lee lost the war at Gettysburg by making a futile, direct assault on the Union, who were dug in up on a high ridge. His second in command Broadstreet argued they should just go around the entrenced Union forces but Lee wouldn't listen and they lost so many men and so much material in Picket's Charge they could never recover. When Lee told Picket to "look after your brigade" the devastated officer replied "General, I have no brigade".)

We have not launched any sort of offensive except for Trump in '16, and we didn't do any since the Contract with America back in the nineties. It's well past time we launched a major counter-offensive. We have a man willing to lead that charge now if we only support him and drop the loser tactics of run and hide.

This most assuredly is a step in the right direction.
