Hurt: “Washington is where the hopes and dreams of voters go to die”
Victor Davis Hanson wrote in RealClearPolitics, “the media can no longer hide the reality that the president of the United States likely took bribes to influence or alter U.S. policy to suit his payers. Those two crimes -- bribery and treason -- are specifically delineated in the Constitution as impeachable offenses. In denial, the media has instead pivoted with hysterical glee over various weaponized prosecutions of former President Donald Trump.”
Chris Lehmann sarcastically wrote in The Nation yesterday, “the 74 million Trump voters who turned out in 2020 are always and forever the great injured Real American majority, while the 81 million who cast their ballots for Biden are virtual nonentities—fictions of a cunning deep state.”
Glenn Loury wrote in Substack three days ago, “The peaceful transition of power is one of the most important features of our system of government. It separates the United States from the many putative democracies around the world where election fraud, contested results, power grabs, and military coups are a way of life.” In an interview with Glenn Loury, Carol Swain concluded: “when I see what has happened to America, I don't recognize my nation. I don't recognize my country. And when I look at young people, as well as my own great grandchildren, I'm not optimistic at all about their future.”
Charles Hurt wrote in The Washington Times yesterday, “Washington is where the hopes and dreams of voters go to die. It is where the will of the people is strangled to death. It is where democracy dies in all the bureaucratic cobwebs and clutter.”
Walter Shapiro wrote yesterday in The New Republic, “In mid-August, at a conservative conference in Atlanta, she lamented, ‘We are $32 trillion in debt … I’d love to say that Biden did that to us. I’ve always spoken hard truths. Our Republicans did that to us too.’”
Steve Cortes in his article titled “Octogenarians and Oligarchs”, wrote in Substack yesterday, “Chief among these oligarchs is 92-year-old George Soros. He was welcomed into America as a refugee from war-torn Europe, found his fortune here, and swiftly began a massive and effective Marxist campaign to burn down the very society that was so generous to him. Soros masterfully exploited the opportunities of capitalism in an open republic to subsequently use his formidable acumen and financial firepower to try to transform America into a collectivist leftist tyranny.”
Greg Ip and others wrote in the Wall Street Journal, “one person’s debt is another person’s asset. As borrowers wince under the pressure of rising costs, many retirees and other will celebrate finally being able to earn a safe return above the rate of inflation.”
I told Peregrine, “There's something wrong with this country.” Peregrine responded, “What's wrong with the country is it's been de-industrialized by Wall Street. All the good jobs have been sent to other countries. Isn't that obvious? It's called globalism. You should study David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission that was established in the 1970s. That was the beginning of the arrangements that were made for transferring American industrial activity to various Asian countries. They started by handing over the American consumer television industry to the Japanese.”
Yesterday in Newsweek, Yoni Michanie wrote, “As of July 2023, the U.S. has supplied Ukraine with over $75 billion in humanitarian, financial, and military support, representing .33 percent of its GDP. This is no mean sum when American voters are facing down rising living costs, declining transportation infrastructure, and growing crime rates across the country.”
Bradley Devlin wrote today in The American Conservative, “The argument is that if the U.S. does not defend Ukraine, China will invade Taiwan... What it fails to account for, however, is that if China does make a move on Taiwan in the next few years, stockpiles already reduced by Ukrainian aid will make aiding Taiwan more difficult and expensive if policy makers decide to do so.” He also wrote, “In total, the U.S. military aid thus far dispensed to Ukraine is valued above $41 billion. The U.S. has appropriated over $100 billion for Ukraine’s defense.”
