President Trump Can Now Drain the Swamp : "They shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

"WHAT A GLORIOUS FEELING, I'M HAPPY AGAIN." If you felt like Gene Kelly splattering joy all over a rain-soaked street on Sunday, I fully understand. When Donald Trump announced he would run for President, I supported him in our blog, and I have supported him through thick and thin ever since. It has been an often lonely journey. I, like many of you who are with me on this blog voyage, have been ridiculed, ignored, called 'stupid,' and even been told that my President should be assassinated for the good of the world. The British speaker of that horror afterward apologized, but the pain lingered, because he like all anti-Trumpers, believed President Trump was guilty -- of what??? Of taking away their dream of a Globalist, socialist future for mankind, in which nobody would dare to "achieve" anything extraordinary because we would all be reduced to numbers in a government dependency book -- a book of shame for those of us who still trust western civilization to produce better and better results for all people. • You have read my often-repeated fact -- "There is NO EVIDENCE" until you may be sick of seeing it in print. That fact has kept me sane in a world gone mad. Forgive me if this sounds sacrilegious or pretentious, but I -- and others who continued to say the same thing in their own way over these last two years -- have felt like we were 'voices crying in the wilderness,' a phrase used in the Gospels to refer to John the Baptist. It is quoted from the Book of Isaiah 40:3, 28-31 : "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God....Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall : But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." • In John 1:19-23 we learn how John the Baptist answered when he was asked if he was the Messiah : "Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, 'Who are you?' He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, 'I am not the Christ.' And they asked him, 'What then? Are you Elijah?' He said, 'I am not.' 'Are you the Prophet?' And he answered, 'No.' Then they said to him, 'Who are you, that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?' He said : 'I am ‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness : 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah said.' ” • We can all agree that neither I nor any of us defending President Trump is Isaiah or John the Baptist, but we were a voice crying in the wilderness created by the Obama Deep State and the Clinton machine and we cried out, President Trump is innocent, believing that "...they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." • We were often "weary" and sometimes felt like giving it up -- letting the Hounds of Hell win because they outnumbered us and were aided in their destruction by the powerful and ambitious. We only sought truth and justice -- fairness for all -- the promises of the Republic and its Constitution. • And, today we can rejoice. The battle with these Hounds of Hell is not over, but for this one day we who believed and said 'There is no evidence" can celebrate a victory for America and her Republic. For that is the true victory in the Mueller report. We Americans and our Constitution of few words but mighty thoughts have once more been tested, and we have once more proved worthy of our keep -- "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and dedicated, can long endure." • • • WE ARE IN A GREAT CIVIL WAR. We are thus far "enduring." But, make no mistake, we are in the next campaign of a great civil war. The prize is the future. American Thinker's J. Marsolo wrote on Monday : "Attorney General Barr has summarized Robert Mueller’s report: no collusion, collaboration, conspiracy, or whatever term the Hate Trump media chooses to use, between Russia and the Trump campaign. We knew this before Mueller wasted 40 million dollars. But Mueller threw a desperate bone to the media and to the Nadler/ Schiff Democrats. Mueller refused to conclude as to whether Trump obstructed justice. This was a cowardly act to allow the Dems and the media to say, as they are saying, that Mueller did not exonerate Trump on the obstruction charge. Trump, like every American, is presumed innocent unless convicted. He does not need Mueller’s Obama-Hillary lawyers to 'exonerate' him." • Attorney General Bill Barr put the 'obstruction' question to rest definitively in his Sunday letter to Congress. Mueller and his 19 Hillary-Democrat attorneys knew that the attorney general would have to do what Mueler refused to do. AG Barr’s letter reads : “After making a "thorough factual investigation" into these matters, the Special Counsel considered whether to evaluate the conduct under Department standards governing prosecution and declination decisions but ultimately determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment. The Special Counsel therefore did not draw a conclusion -- one way or the other -- as to whether the examined conduct constituted obstruction....The Special Counsel's decision to describe the facts of his obstruction investigation without reaching any legal conclusions leaves it to the Attorney General to determine whether the conduct described in the report constitutes a crime. Over the course of the investigation, the Special Counsel's office engaged in discussions with certain Department officials regarding many of the legal and factual matters at issue in the Special Counsel's obstruction investigation. After reviewing the Special Counsel's final report on these issues; consulting with Department officials, including the Office of Legal Counsel; and applying the principles of federal prosecution that guide our charging decisions, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel's investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense. Our determination was made without regard to, and is not based on, the constitutional considerations that surround the indictment and criminal prosecution of a sitting president....In making this determination, we noted that the Special Counsel recognized that "the evidence does not establish that the President was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference," and that, while not determinative, the absence of such evidence bears upon the President's intent with respect to obstruction.” • AG Barr's statement that "Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel's investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense. Our determination was made without regard to, and is not based on, the constitutional considerations that surround the indictment and criminal prosecution of a sitting president..." is crucial for the future because it states that Donald Trump the American citizen did not obstruct justice -- that fact that he would not be indicted as a sitting President played no role in the decision. Big medicine from AG Barr. • Alan Dershowitz went after Mueller on Newsmax from another angle : "Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report sounds like a “law school exam,' where he shirked his job and didn’t have 'the guts' to make a decision on whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Sunday during an appearance on Fox News where he also slammed CNN personalities and guests who 'misinformed the American public.'....'I thought it was a cop out for him to say there was not enough evidence to indict, but it’s not an exoneration, and we’re going to put a report out,' Dershowitz told anchor Shannon Bream '...It sounds like a law school exam. That’s not the job of the prosecutor. The job of the prosecutor is to decide yes or no. Make a decision.'....The TV personalities and guests on CNN who predicted Mueller’s probe would result in indictments for collusion and obstruction 'should be hanging their heads in shame,' Dershowitz added. 'I have to tell you, they should be hanging their head in shame when you think about how many people went out on a limb and predicted there would be indictments for obstruction, there would be indictments for collusion, there would be indictments for this and for that. They made it seem like it was an open and shut case, and they misinformed the American public, and they have to have some public accountability when you say things that turn out not to be true.' ” • AG Barr's letter noted : "The special counsel's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its effort" to interfere with the 2016 presidential election....The Special Counsel did not find that "any US person or Trump campaign official or associate conspired or knowingly coordinated" with Russians who worked on those hacking efforts, despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign." And, AG Barr said in his letter that Mueller "recognized" that the lack of evidence that Trump was involved in collusion would undercut any obstruction case -- which would depend on showing a corrupt intent by the President." • BUT, Newsmax said : "Democrats on Sunday vowed to press on with other investigations, and members of both parties continued to push for the public release of as much of the Mueller report as possible. Representative Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that he believed there remained 'significant evidence of collusion' linking the Russian government with President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Schiff said Democrats might subpoena Mueller if the full report is not released. House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., speaking to Fox News Sunday, insisted, 'So we know a lot of things and maybe it’s not indictable, but we know there was collusion. The question is the degree....The job of Congress is much broader than the job of the special counsel,' Nadler said. 'The special counsel is looking and can only look for crimes. We have to protect the rule of law, we have to look for abuses of power, we have to look for obstructions of justice, we have to look for corruption in the exercise of power which may not be crimes.'" • House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Doug Collins, R-Ga., speaking to Fox News Sunday, argued : "As we’ve seen in the first two months of this Congress, [Democrats] really don’t have a policy agenda. They have an agenda against the President. They have an agenda to try and win 2020. And so, what we’re seeing is, they think that they can go into the Judiciary Committee or any other committee and have a limited budget, limited subpoena power, limited staff and go up against an investigation that lasted 22 months, had unlimited power, unlimited subpoena power, had plenty of investigators -- and they think they can find something more than what they did, then I think they’re sadly mistaken." • A former senior law enforcement official echoed those remarks, telling Fox News : “With all the talk of the Democrats intensifying their House investigations,[it is important to note that] unlike Special Counsel Mueller, Congress and the [DOJ Inspector General] cannot convene grand juries and initiate prosecutions. If Mueller couldn't find collusion or conspiracy with every investigative tool, what do the Democrats expect to accomplish?" • Fox News noted that : "Some conservatives, meanwhile, argued that Democrats should come under increased scrutiny for their contacts with foreign nationals. Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) hired the firm Fusion GPS, which employed British ex-spy Christopher Steele to produce an anti-Trump Dossier that the FBI used to justify the surveillance a top Trump aide and kickstart the Russia probe -- even as text messages exclusively obtained by Fox News this week revealed that the DOJ seemingly raised 'repeated' concerns that Steele, whose anti-Trump views are now widely known, was politically biased." • On Sunday, Ohio GOP Representative Jim Jordan said that if the Mueller report is disclosed publicly, then all documents relating to it should also be published -- including the complete Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant application to monitor Carter Page. "We have asked for that information to be made public a long time ago,” Jordan said in a televised interview. • Fox News reported that : "In a show of confidence, President Trump waved and flashed two thumbs up to supporters as he returned to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Saturday. The entertainer Kid Rock later uploaded a photograph of his golf outing with Trump earlier in the day....On Sunday morning, Trump broke an unusual, nearly 40-hour-long Twitter silence, writing simply, 'Good Morning, Have A Great Day!' He added, minutes later : 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!' " White House officials told Fox News that Trump then embarked on a golf outing with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., former House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., and chief of staff Mick Mulvaney." On Sunday the President told reporters on Air Force One on his return to Washington : "So after a long look, after a long investigation, after so many people have been so badly hurt, after not looking at the other side, where a lot of bad things happened, a lot of horrible things happened, lot of very bad things happened for our country, it was just announced there was no collusion with Russia, the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. There was no collusion with Russia. There was no obstruction, none whatsoever. It was a complete and total exoneration. It’s a shame that our country had to go through this. To be honest, it’s a shame that your President has had to go through this. Before I even got elected, it began. And it began illegally. And hopefully, somebody’s gonna look at the other side. This was an illegal takedown that failed. And hopefully, somebody’s going to be looking at the other side. So, it’s complete exoneration. No collusion, no obstruction." • Shortly after the President spoke, his re-election campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a statement published by Fox News that President Trump had been "completely and fully vindicated" by Mueller and that what he called "the Russia collusion conspiracy theory" had been exposed as "the sham that it always was and catching Democrats in an elaborate web of lies and deceit. After issuing 2,800 subpoenas and 500 search warrants, interviewing 500 witnesses, employing 40 FBI agents and 19 lawyers, and spending tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, Robert Mueller concluded unequivocally, 'The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities. Moreover, the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General determined that there was no evidence of obstruction of justice. • AND, the best back-and-forth of all came from Jim Comey and Lindsey Graham. LifeZette reported on Monday that : "Senator Lindsey Graham posted an ominous reply to ex-FBI Director James Comey on Twitter on Sunday after Comey seemed to sum up the review of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation by posting a picture of a man who appeared lost in the woods. The photo posted by Comey was of a man surrounded by tall trees. The caption was simply : 'So many questions.' Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, replied, 'Could not agree more' -- an obvious message that he hopes to question the former FBI head. 'See you soon.— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) March 25, 2019." • • • WHO IS LEADING THE CIVIL WAY AGAINST THE PRESIDENT AND AMERICA? OBAMA -- WHO ELSE??? American Thinker's Sharyl Attkisson asked the key question, according to Thomas Lifson : "When unraveling a whole cloth of lies, it is important to start pulling on the correct thread. Now that we know the entire theory of Trump-Russia 'collusion' cooked up by the Hillary campaign was a pure fiction, it is time start inflicting the consequences on the miscreants. But that’s a process that could take time if and when AG Barr, or maybe US Attorney Peter Huber -- commissioned by former AG Sessions to investigate possible FBI abuses -- present evidence of criminality to a grand jury. In the meantime, there is some posterior-kicking, aka public shaming, due. And, I think Sharyl Attkisson has identified the first targets in need of disgrace, especially because of where that disgrace will lead : 'If Clapper, Brennan, Rice, Power, Comey genuinely believed Trump "colluded" with Russia and he didn't, what does that say about the judgement of our one-time top intel types? — Sharyl Attkisson🕵️‍♂️ (@SharylAttkisson) March 25, 2019.' " Lifson says the "biggest reason I want to start with shaming these people is what it says about the man that appointed them : Barack Obama. He entrusted our national security to a bunch of dishonest clowns. And their efforts have been aimed at covering up his culpability in the Hillary email scandal (because he received emails from her private account, and lied about not knowing she had one, thereby incriminating him in improper handling – 'gross negligence' -- of classified materials, and the even bigger scandal of authorizing spying on the presidential campaign of Donald Trump." • Lifson concludes : "Make no mistake : Obama is the prize. Unraveling the threads that lead directly to him would have a seismic impact on the course of American politics. All of the Democrats’ fantasizing about the SDNY indicting Trump and prosecuting him after he leaves the Oval Office would suddenly turn against their own champion." • • • THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE IS GEARING UP. TheHill reported on Monday : " 'I think it’s a day America’s looked forward to for a long time," press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a rare appearance on CNN. It’s a great day for America when a decision like this comes forward and frankly it’s a great thing that we can move back, that the media and everyone can move back to focusing on the economy, the defeat of ISIS and rising wages in this country....Don’t let this investigation confuse you. This was not about looking at whether or not Russia interfered. The purpose of this was to determine whether or not Russia interfered and the Trump campaign had something to do with it. They didn’t. We said that from day one, yet Democrats and the media perpetuated that lie day in and day out and breathlessly covered every second of negative attention that they thought would be the one moment that would bring this President down. They were wrong in 2016 when he beat them and they’ve been wrong every day since about this President.' Sanders, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and Trump lawyers Jay Sekulow and Rudy Giuliani all sounded similarly triumphant notes. 'It's a very bad thing for the country that we had it because it's not true,' Giuliani told Hill.TV hosts Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton, referring to the Mueller probe. 'It never should have happened in the first place. It should have stopped with the indictment of the Russians when there was no American they conspired with," he continued....Conway said Mueller, Barr and Rosenstein had 'repaired' the reputation of the Department of Justice and FBI while chiding former FBI Director James Comey and others in the Obama administration. Conway called for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) to resign, citing his past comments that there was plenty of evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia....Conway suggested the tables should be turned. She called for a full accounting of alleged abuses of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications, of a Dossier of allegations about Trump and Russia, and of 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. 'Oh, why are you still talking about Hillary Clinton?' Conway asked mockingly. 'Because, folks, you wouldn’t let the 2016 election go. And now you’re running up against 2020 and you’ve got a big, old nothing. Beto O’Rourke two days ago said there’s beyond a shadow of a doubt that the President colluded. What is he talking about?' she continued, referencing the 2020 presidential candidate. 'There should be a reckoning because our democracy deserves nothing less.' " • And, when the President's men and women go after the culprits in the "collusion" cabal, they will get a far more favorable hearing from mainstream America, who have been badly burned by the Fake news, lies and Democrat propaganda foisted on them for two years by a mainstream media determined to do all it could to destroy President Trump and conservatives. • BlabberBuzz wrote on Sunday : "Russiagate: 'Death Blow for the Reputation of the American News Media.'" Tim Graham said : "The establishment media is being roasted from the Right AND from the Left as the Russiagate conspiracy -- as a criminal conspiracy/impeachment vehicle -- has collapsed. Leftist author and former Rolling Stone political writer Matt Taibbi is well known for roasting right-wingers with overwrought personal attacks. But he's drawing notice -- even from Brian Stelter today on Reliable Sources -- for roasting the media under this headline : It's official: Russiagate is this generation's WMD. The Iraq war faceplant damaged the reputation of the press. Russiagate just destroyed it. Taibbi began with a dramatic announcement : 'Nobody wants to hear this, but news that Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller is headed home without issuing new charges is a death-blow for the reputation of the American news media.'....Nothing Trump is accused of from now on by the press will be believed by huge chunks of the population, a group that (perhaps thanks to this story) is now larger than his original base....a full 50.3% of respondents in a poll conducted this month said they agree with Trump the Mueller probe is a 'witch hunt.' Stories have been coming out for some time now hinting Mueller’s final report might leave audiences 'disappointed,' as if a President not being a foreign spy could somehow be bad news. Openly using such language has, all along, been an indictment. Imagine how tone-deaf you’d have to be to not realize it makes you look bad, when news does not match audience expectations you raised. To be unaware of this is mind-boggling, the journalistic equivalent of walking outside without pants....Taibbi concluded : 'Being on any team is a bad look for the press, but the press being on team FBI / CIA is an atrocity, Trump or no Trump. Why bother having a press corps at all if you’re going to go that route?' As if Taibbi has never 'been on a team'? Did he look at all the covers of Rolling Stone during his tenure?" • • • THE FUTURE IS AT RISK IF AMERICANS SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR THE NEXT 'CRISIS' SO THEY CAN CHOOSE SIDES. American Thinker's sterling analyst Patricia McCarthy said, "...it is not one bit amusing; the left was hoping with every fiber of their being that Trump was guilty of being a traitor to our nation. Despite his obvious love for this country, they hoped he was a Russian agent who had worked against our interests. That is how disordered the Trump haters are; they hoped to learn our President had committed treason and are disappointed he has not. McCarthy quoted C.S. Lewis on Monday : “Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one's first feeling, 'Thank God, even they aren't quite so bad as that,' or is it a feeling of disappointment, and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies are as bad as possible? If it is the second then it is, I am afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils. You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally we shall insist on seeing everything -- God and our friends and ourselves included -- as bad, and not be able to stop doing it: we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred.” (Mere Christianity)." Patricia McCarthy has never taken this cabal lightly and she drove it home on Monday : "Our left was hoping for the worst. Adam Schiff, Jerrold Nadler and the denizens of CNN and MSNBC should take note. They've all gone off the rails of civilized discourse. They have left all aspects of tolerance behind. Since Trump won the election of 2016, they've become overtly what they perhaps have always been at heart; grossly intolerant themselves. They now rationalize any and all forms of discrimination if it serves their ends. The bombshell is that even Bret Baier and Ed Henry at Fox were shocked by Mueller's conclusive report. As careful and bi-partisan as Fox has been, they too assumed the worst and looked forward to it, ratings and all. As has been noted, Fox is changing. They suspended Jeanine Pirro for posing a perfectly logical question about Ilhan Omar's allegiance to Islam over America. The same week they hired the corrupt cheat Donna Brazile. Fox may lose those of us who have long valued its mantra of 'fair and balanced.' It appears that may be a thing of the past." • Then comes McCarthy's devastating summary : "The truth that the Trump-Russia collusion was a hoax from the outset has been revealed over the last two years, drip by drip, fact by fact. John Solomon, Sara Carter, Peter Schweizer, and a host of others including Judicial Watch have been writing about and revealing the truth regularly, not to mention the numerous congressional hearings that also revealed the duplicity of the left and the calculated plan to see that Trump never took office. The amazing thing is that the Jake Tappers, Chuck Todds, and Rachel Maddows of our media have not bothered to read the work those reporters produced. They ignored the revelations of those hearings. They dismissed any and all facts contrary to their cemented-in-stone conviction that Trump had somehow cheated to win as specious. They did not want to know about the extraordinarily incriminating emails between those higher -ups at the FBI and DOJ. Not one of the usual suspects could admit that their bête noir, Donald Trump, could have won fair and square after all they had done to prevent such an outcome. They all had their fingers in their ears screaming LaLaLaLa so that no disagreeable information reached their brains. Given the team that Mueller hired to investigate the President, Democrat partisans all, and that at least twenty-five million taxpayer dollars were spent with the intent to take Trump out of office, the results of Mueller's two-year scrutiny of all things Trump is also the exoneration of those of us who supported and voted for the man. This much is clear : President Trump is a far better man than all those who sought to bring him down." • • • DEAR READERS, American Thinker's Don Sucher said it a little differently on Sunday : "Politicians are used to seeing cowardice and being cowards. So used to it are they that they cannot even imagine there being another way. Our President has proven to be quite different. He is fearless. He is bold. He acts. He accomplishes. (What he would be accomplishing if those in his party had the courage to support him is hard to conceive.) If one takes a moment to look at his brilliance, it is a truly rare and beautiful thing. First off, the attacks were made to wear him down and wear him out. To make him sue (and compromise) for peace. He did not. Two, they thought they could make him overreact, go beyond his jurisdiction. He did not do that, either. Three, when attacks on him directly failed, they went after his family. The media in the end were saying his children were going to be indicted. He did not wince. (Neither did they.) And what is even more an indicator of genius is that often the very thing that drove his enemies mad -- and made it obvious to onlookers that they were mad (and thus not be believed) was seen by his supporters in a positive light. His good humor, for instance. This is a rare form of leadership -- temperance crossed with almost outlandish boldness. (How often can those two words describe the same man at the very same time?) Thank God, it is rarely needed. That the 'wise' cannot see this is to be expected. They worship what they themselves are : wordy, hapless, false, and ineffective. Our President is none of these things. He is truly something else. Something rare. Something wonderful. To think this nation received such a leader at this critical time by mere chance is to this writer unimaginable." • This has been a stem-winder of a weekend. Every time, and there were so many, that I wrote "There is NO Evidence" in the blog, I prayed it was true -- not that I thought Trump had done anything wrong but because there are so many ways to jive the judicial system and Mueller is an expert at it. It is a truly great victory for the American Republic and Constitution. • We will see what the lunatic Dems have dreamed up to compensate for losing big-time with their own carefully-chosen attack dog. BUT, I see several results that time will prove came to America through President Trump's amazing grace under fire -- courage, it is called by Hemingway, who wrote, "courage is grace under pressure." Some call it heroism. First, I think the arm wrestle over who controls the GOP is now over -- Ronna McDaniels at the RNC and President Trump at the WH, and Mitch McConnell and Jordan, Meadows & Co in Congress are the GOP triangulation. The RINOs and #NeverTrumpers have lost BIG this time and they may never recover. American Thinker's Earick Ward used sports to describe what the GOP must do now : "To use a hockey metaphor : your guy took countless high sticks to the back of his head. You need to clear the bench and stand up for your teammate. Anything short of clear and unequivocal support is unacceptable." Ward meant that as a "Wake-up call to Mitt Romney," who has the most to lose unless he can bring himself to admit that he totally misread the only other billionaire elephant in the GOP room. Second, while the left are hell-bent on destroying America, and by extension western civilization, today is a great victory for the good guys. We are those "good guys" and we must stand with our President, who stood by America with courage and grace when he was under enormous pressure, because he will now carry out what I see as the third result -- President Trump now has the freedom he needs to DRAIN THE SWAMP.
