Obama was supposed to usher in peace on earth by the power of his personality, but he left it on fire. He demonstrated that American weakness is indeed provocative. North Korea didn't happen overnight. Putin & Russia went from an Obama punchline 4-1/2 years ago to single-handedly the greatest threat to the American republic. Trump has been described as dangerous, volatile & reactive, but he's gotten China on board to stop North Korea's nuclear program. Jeff Sessions says catch & release policies are over, and if you're caught illegally trying to enter the US, you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. A comparison of how liberals & conservatives engage in political fights. There is a big difference between the US & North Korea having nuclear weapons - and the two are not morally equivalent. Estes wins seat vacated by Pompeo in Kansas, although it was much closer than in was in November election. Putin says trust for US has decreased under Trump. How did this not get figured into his calculations to help Trump 'steal the election?' Trump works to restructure the government to work more efficiently and to return us to a limited government. Draining the swamp.

Neil Gorsuch sworn in as Supreme Court Justice, even as Democrats continue the fundraising narrative that the seat was stolen from Merrick Garland. Trump Administration says subsequent strikes on Syria are possible if they continue using chemical weapons. Susan Rice told us months ago Syria had no chemical weapons. Russia won't try to shoot down Tomahawk missiles. Editor upset by term "Tomahawk" missile. Message to North Korea? China sends 150,000 troops to North Korean border in preparation of US actions. Trump sends aircraft carrier strike force to North Korean region & asks military advisers for options on North Korea. Does supporting Syrian strike mean you have to be against Trump's extreme vetting of refugees? Picture of unborn twins 'kissing' in womb at 24-weeks. Waiting for Planned Parenthood to call for the image to be boycotted. Federal judge rules Texas voter ID law is unconstitutional. United Airlines debacle. What an inexcusable disaster.

Isis attacks Christian churches in Egypt on Palm Sunday - the beginning of the Holy Week. Islamic extremists are waging a holy war on anyone not willing to accept their ideology & worldview - which includes Christianity. Trump & Syria. Trump doubles down. Tensions continue to rise. The Left suddenly needs more than emotional reasoning for policies. Getting a second medical opinion leads to different diagnosis a staggering 88% of the time. But if the patient is earth, and the doctor is a climate change scientist, the diagnosis only changes 3% of the time. And interestingly, the treatment always involves more government & less liberty. Scientists say large portions of the Great Barrier Reef will not recover from bleaching. Does Google pay women less than men? Does Elizabeth Warren pay women less? Some say no. But if the champions of closing the 'pay gap' cannot fix it in their own organizations, how on earth do they expect to 'fix' it nationally? Do we us biological gender when calculating these numbers?

US strikes Syrian air base with Tomahawk cruise missiles. A review of what happened & a summary of our response. The argument for Syrian strikes. Trump's statement on air strikes against Syria. The argument against Syrian strikes. Rand Paul's comments. For those still in denial about Hillary's loss, close your eyes & pretend she gave the orders for the missile strike - because it's exactly what she endorsed hours before the strike. Gorsuch filibuster. The nuclear option enacted. The final confirmation vote set for today. JDot's latest 3-in-3 breaks down Gorsuch appointment. And yes - it's another instant classic. Hillary tells us why she lost ...

Syrian city hit with chemical weapon attack. US blames Assad. Russia denies Assad to blame. Remembering Obama's red line. Complicated mess in Middle East. Big government dictator thug Assad versus a radical Islamic terrorist group (Isis). Big government killed millions in 20th Century. When is a humanitarian mission justified? Or should we only intervene when vital US interests are at stake? How do we properly weigh them? Trump won't tell media his plans, tells them 'you'll see.' Pence says 'all options are on the table with Syria.' Angela Merkel to the rescue: Germany passes bill that mandates social media sites to remove fake news or hate speech within 24 hours or face fines of up to $50 million. Faux outrage over Gorsuch, nuclear option. Senator Merkley (D-OR) speaks for over 15 hours - about nothing. McConnell says Democrats would filibuster Ruth Bader Ginsburg if that was Trump's nominee. Democrats are masters of catchy phrases that mean nothing once scrutinized, such as 'change the nominee, not the rules.' Great apes know when wrong choices are made?

Name another American who was caught up in 'foreign surveillance.' It's not common to know anyone unmasked - but we know Trump. Why? Chris Matthews says this is a diversion from Trump/Russia - and anyone who mentions the name 'Susan Rice' is a sexist & maybe a racist. Canadian national anthem going gender-neutral? Breitbart summarizes what we learned from Rice interview. Someone involved in the unmasking of Trump had to tell someone or we wouldn't be talking about it today. Reminds me of the story of Jesus' resurrection. Some mistakenly tell us the women never told anyone their story - but if they didn't, how is it recorded in the Gospel? The arguments Chris Matthews & his cast of liberals use to defend Susan Rice could, ironically, be applied almost verbatim to the Trump/Russia narrative. Gorsuch vote. The Left is intentionally misleading Americans through inaccurate propaganda emails. An actual partisan filibuster has never been used to reject a nominee. But there are examples in American history of the Senate not taking action on Supreme Court nominees. Two current justices, Thomas & Alito, both were confirmed with fewer than sixty votes (52 & 58, respectively). I know liberals aren't good with numbers, but they should know both of those are less than 60. Wish I had more time. Have a great day.

Democrats have enough votes to filibuster Gorsuch. I can only imagine the begging & pleading required to get Senator Schumer to approve a Democrat senator's support of Gorsuch. Compare & contrast GOP healthcare vote with Democrat Gorsuch filibuster. Democrat leadership ensures members toe the line & vote as they demand. Will GOP change Senate rules or crumble under pressure? Why do Republicans have to answer all of the questions? Why don't Democrats have to tell us why they are filibustering Gorsuch? Why don't they have to explain their use of a partisan filibuster for a legitimate vacancy to be filled by an individual who passed their hearings with flying colors? This is fantastic: Sharon Stone spoken word tribute to Maxine Waters. Susan Rice reportedly made the call to unmask Trump officials. Is a Russian video to blame. Remembering the tragic Benghazi scandal. By the way, this has the appearance of a scandal much more so than the "Trump/Russia/Putin/Trump" accusations. Richard Milhous Obama? What about 'two speech rule?'

A weekend of meltowns. The LA times demonstrates its level of insanity in an editorial against Trump. Tom Perez, following in the footsteps of previous DNC leaders, says Republicans 'don't give a s*** about people.' How I value people. The value of the individual & the dignity of work. And then there were 3. Chuck Schumer is filibustering the will of the American people, not Neil Gorsuch. Schumer deliberately misrepresents the truth, yet again. Democrat Party believes in Big Government for America and iron-fist leadership over their Congressional members. Only 2 reasons Democrats have given for opposing Gorsuch: his belief in Originalism & the silly argument that this seat belongs to Merrick Garland. In other words, they oppose Gorsuch because he supports the Constitution or simply out of spite. If a Democrat Senator comes out in favor of Neil Gorsuch, they are self-identifying their seat as a 2018 toss-up. Adam Schiff admits there is still no definitive link between the Trump Campaign & Russia - but that's why it's important to keep looking. One could definitely make the case that this looks like a witch hunt. But we definitely know this is about politics & obstructionism for the Left. Trump v North Korea.

Trump has drawn battle lines with the Freedom Caucus - but that's the wrong enemy. San Francisco calling for Trump's impeachment. Sounds like the sort of thing Bloomington may jump in on - like their boycott of Arizona over immigration enforcement. Senate votes to cut Planned Parenthood funding. Good. Planned Parenthood is an abortion mill, not a provider of women's healthcare. Gorsuch nomination. Will Democrats mount a successful filibuster? A brief summary of what happened between the unfortunate passing of Antonin Scalia until today. Democrats oppose Gorsuch because he believes in the Constitution. Either that or they oppose him for spite over Merrick Garland. Either way is indefensible. It's fake news to further the lie that Supreme Court nominees must meet a minimum 60 vote threshold. In fact, 2 of the current Justices on the High Court were confirmed with fewer than 60 votes. Filibuster vs simple majority vote. Some Democrats are happy to see GOP change 'nuclear option' to apply to Supreme Court nominees so they can benefit from it in future. Other Democrats - like Joe Manchin & Heidi Heitkamp - are worried a filibuster will harm their re-election chances. But they are not making these decisions on their own: they are asking Schumer for permission to oppose a filibuster. T-Rex was a 'sensitive lover?' Was he also a prehistoric metrosexual who drove a Prius & got mani-pedis?

The transgender bathroom law in NC & political pressures from organizations like the NCAA & other businesses. It's ok to play in China but not North Carolina? Give me a break. Hawaii judge extends ban on Trump's travel ban. Met with Obama right before he released his ruling? Background on this issue. Even if this judge lifts his decision, there is another judge somewhere in a blue state that is ready to put a stop to the travel ban for some other reason. This can go on forever - and it's not the way it's supposed to work. Maxine Waters thinks she's more patriotic than Trump voters. And her goal is to remove him as president. And we're supposed to be bipartisan, right? I wonder if Maxine Waters thinks the Drexel professor's tweet was patriotic. Wish I could talk about sanctuary cities today, but I don't have time.
