God I pray this is true-

Smoke them out!

“As one of the senior officials working without a paycheck, a few words of advice for the president’s next move at shuttered government agencies: lock the doors, sell the furniture, and cut them down.”

“The first thing we need out of this is better security, particularly at the southern border. Our founders envisioned a free market night watchman state, not the bungled bloated bureaucracy our government has become. But we have to keep the uniformed officers paid, which is an emergency. Ideally, continue a resolution to pay the essential employees only, if they are truly working on national security. Furloughed employees should find other work, never return and not be paid.”

To find such a piece in this morning’s NZ Stuff “news” was a jaw-dropping delight. I damn near choked on coffee #7.

The baying mob of left-wing commentators aren’t brave or radical – and they can barely spell or use a spreadsheet

For, today’s radical isn’t the woke feminist railing about rape-culture or the campaigning Twitter activist ranting into the wind about the lack of state funding for transgender pre-teens. It is the handful, for that is all we are, who defies the increasingly oppressive strictures being imposed on us….

How the New York Times and others skewed,slanted and downright lied about the illegal alien invasion on our southern border-

The Federalist-

“A New York Times article originally headlined “Trump Cites Misleading Statistics of Crisis And Crime Along Border” failed to explain what the misleading statistics were. Perhaps that explains why they changed the headline to “Trump Escalates Border Wall Fight in National Address.”

Gun use surges in Europe where ownership is rare

“When hundreds of women were sexually assaulted on New Year’s Eve in several German cities three years ago, Carolin Matthie decided it was time to defend herself. The 26-year-old Berlin student quickly applied for a gun permit, fearing many women would have the same idea and flood the application process”

Sargon makes some excellent points about the supposed Brexit apocalypse-mainly that the EU needs Britain more than Britain needs the EU,but then we have always known that.

A good read-

Frontpage Mag-

From the essay:”The Founders limited presidential power for good reasons. History and their own experience with George III had taught them that “power is of an encroaching nature,” and that no man no matter now virtuous or noble, is beyond corruption by power. That’s what made Washington’s resignation of his commission after the Revolutionary War, and his refusal to run for a third presidential term, so remarkable and unprecedented. As George III himself said when told Washington would resign his commission, “If he does that he will be the greatest man in the world!”
