The Democrats and their lamestream media are now in high gear doing anything and everything they can to undermine this administration and weaken the US in the eyes of its adversaries. The first and most important victims of the Left’s lies are their constituents relegated to the low end of the bell curve on smarts. As evidence, they are so bamboozled by the sleazebags that only 17% of them believe that Trump’s tax cuts benefit them, when IRS data shows that almost everyone benefited from the tax cuts.
And to put a ribbon on it, only 47% of Americans believe that Trump’s policies pulled the economy out of its Obama doldrums of under 2% growth, making no never mind of the fact that when Trump took over the GDP growth rate jumped over 60% and has remained there. The lamestream has made certain than none of these light thinkers ever hear of Obama’s famous prognostication, “To get the GDP to grow at 3% again will require a magic wand.” Well, our current president most certainly has that magic wand, which today’s market underlined by finishing the highest June gain in over 80 years. (For the non-investors, the summer months beginning with June are historically the doldrum months on the stock markets.) In spite of all this, the Dems have convinced 53% of Americans that Trump is mishandling the economy.
On the foreign policy front, Trump has exposed longstanding and dramatic shortcomings in our agreements for trade, mutual defense with allies, nuclear proliferation by rogues, and border security. For decades America’s position in each of these areas was being taken advantage of by nations who saw us as weak and without direction. Trump has changed all that, and in every area he has gotten people off the dime and things moving. Now the feckless Democrats are criticizing him and telling their know-nothings that Trump is not doing any good because he hasn’t solved all the decades-old problems in his first two years in office. And none of them, not a single one, has anything better to offer than to stick our head back in the sand and let friend and foe steal us blind.
In the meantime, the Democrats have totally abandoned their former positions and goals, as they have wrapped themselves in socialism to tout Marx’s message to the masses of the western hemisphere, ‘Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains!’ And where do you think that all of this uniting of the workers will take place as our formerly porous borders disappear completely?

[3jul19 update] A regular reader suggests that to better understand what the Democrats in Congress and our own leftwing socialist commenters share as worldviews and objectives to strive for can be found in the Jacobin Magazine. Take a look at the real meaning of free speech as we celebrate an independence they are working to take away.
[7jul19 update] Here’s another big lie pushed by one of our favorite communists, Umair Haque, who writes ‘The origins of America’s unique and spectacular cruelty’. America is the one nation in the world that has THE preeminent culture of altruistic giving to those afflicted and less fortunate. Yet this propagandist exercises his 1A right to constantly reel off lie after lie about America, Americans, and our role in the world’s community of nations. The importance of his thought is that it is shared by almost all the Democrat presidential candidates who daily echo his words.
