PDJT's double win: peace with N. Korea - MSM disappointment


PDJT shocks the world. Drops nuke on N. Korea!  
What?  No nuke?  There was supposed to be big news on N. Korea last night.  Surely PDJT nuked the commie bastards. 

What PDJT actually did was drop a metaphorical nuke on the MSM. CNN et al all have to be sitting around saying – “WTF?  PDJT is going to meet with lil’ Rocket Man?  The doomsday clock was advanced to half a millisecond to midnight because PDJT said he’d never say that 'Lil’ Rocket Man was short and fat’.  Now the two are going to meet?  WTF?  PDJT is a buffoon who doesn’t know what he’s doing.  How can this be happening?  He looks like he’s interested in peace – WTF?”

I do not have a clue how such talks might turn out.  Rocket Man is as likely as not to pull out a knife and try to stab PDJT.  Idunno.  But it is absolutely hilarious to watch the MSM tie themselves into knots trying to undo six months of ridiculing Trump about starting a war with N. Korea now that N. Korea has vowed to stop their nuke development and testing in exchange for a sit down with PDJT.

Combine the N. Korea news with the steel and aluminum tariffs and it was pretty good day for PDJT.  So good in fact I’d expect PDJT to squash the good news under an unnecessary tweet any minute now calling the Queen of England a whore or something.

So we have PDJT the peacemaker and PDJT the guardian of the American workingman on top of PDJT the tax slayer, PDJT the ISIS slayer, PDJT overseer of the booming US economy, PDJT the architect of American energy independence etc. etc.

If you look at what PDJT has done instead of what he has tweeted, it is all pretty good stuff. 

The Griffin opined that the harm of a trade war could be substantially reduced if the infrastructure bill goes through quickly and American steel is used in those projects, energy exports off-set trade restrictions on ag and other products and the economy rolls along at near full employment. 

Who knows, with the right economic outlook, we might start making our own TVs and light bulbs again and a Ford or Chevy will be as good a buy as Hundi or Toyota.  

PDJT is the blue collar billionaire and the Dopes and MSM cannot stand it.   

Today’s JG gun offering

As the old saying goes, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”

As is permanently the case with gun grabbers, solving the problem is always last on the list of things to do. At the top of the list are unrealistic, nay unachievable goals - banning and confiscating certain types or even all weapons – except of course the constitutionally protected and somehow sacred “hunting rifle*”, which oddly functions in the exact same manner and is often are more powerful than the guns they want to ban.

So schools remain open and unprotected because the gun grabbers cannot stand the thought of them being made safe with “common sense” entry and exit procedures that do not include banning the still undefined yet dreaded “assault rifle”.  Nor can they stomach the thought of an armed, trained protector inside the school.  It is better for their cause that a certain number of kids get gunned down every year than to lock the doors and provide an armed deterrent on school grounds.

Actually the NRA is the premier organization for teaching the safe handling of a firearm.  With cooperation between the NRA and local police, a school employee with some existing weapons knowledge and skill could probably be trained for school carry in 6 weeks or so.

For guys like Jay Kalver, who don’t know a bump stock from a soup stock and think an AR-15 is a “high powered” “machinegun-like” rifle the cause is probably hopeless.  Better that Mr. Kalver be restricted to the current method of defending himself and his students during a school shooting, hide in the corner and wait to be shot.

NOTE:  Since 1787, the word “hunting” does not appear in the Second Amendment. 


Arm teachers to teeth
Having taught in public and parochial school systems for three decades, I'm having a hard time following the debate on arming teachers.
As the old saying goes, “Don't bring a knife to a gunfight.” So, assuming the National Rifle Association and our elected officials will never do anything to impede the flow of large-magazine, high-powered, military-style weapons in our society, we'd better be ready to arm educators with equal firepower or better.
I'd hate to have to face down an armed assailant spraying bullets with a machine gun-like weapon from across the hall at me and my kids with a handgun. It doesn't sound like a fair fight to me – no, sir. Now maybe if I had a few stun grenades, or my very own AR-15 with a bump stock, I'm sure I could resolve the problem of an active shooter without much collateral damage.
Not only will this strike fear in the heart of anyone crazy enough to gun down a grade school, but it will also sell another couple of hundred thousand assault rifles. Sounds like a win/win to me. The NRA should love this idea.
I would think that six months of training to become proficient at using weapons of war following four or five years of college to learn how to teach should get the job done. And if teachers aren't willing to learn to kill, then maybe they just weren't cut out for the job.
