UPDATES ONGOING (8/28/023): Trump’s Piss-Poor Personnel Choices: A Treacherous T & A Show

There is no question that Donald Trump is a political martyr. The Permanent State, Democrat and Republican, want him gone—and worse. There! I said it. It’s the truth. But now that Trump has been martyred—we pray for the former president and admire him for his resolve and resilience in the face of pure evil. My admiration for Trump the Man notwithstanding—his failures as a president are irremediable ~ilana

Otherwise, Donald Trump is adorable. His mug shot is a piece of political art ~ilana

Head on over to CNN or ABC if you are interested in taking the measure of some typical celebutantes hired by Donald Trump during his presidency.

On the progressive Fake News networks one can observe the female flotsam and jetsam—former Trump personnel-–perform for the camera, hissing like cobras against the former president. They got gigs at CNN: Stephanie Grisham, Olivia Troye, Sarah Matthews. On The View it’s Alyssa Farah Griffin. Toxic and stupid, all. I know they believe otherwise, but nothing these banal bimbos will say will ever matter or mean anything in the grand schemes of things.

Trump had promised Deplorables to hire the best. Instead, he gave us a T & A parade of subpar females, including his daughter.

For Ivanka, Trump bombed Syria. For her lapdog husband, he approved a boatload of H-1B visas. Both Jared and Ivanka, aka Jarvanka, were eager to make a splash at Davos (Davos before Deplorables). Thus, at Jarvanka’s behest—and spurred on by his own bad judgment—Trump began firing and feuding with the architects of MAGA, all of whom could not stand the Davos duo.

Ivanka had vaporized the excellent John Kelly, who had kept Jarvanka out of the Oval Office. As did Trump’s daughter get rid of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, a tough ice-princess, who effectively instituted and administered the zero-tolerance policy on the border and never caved over family separation.

Ivanka and her husband then inaugurated the Goldman-Sachs West-Wing matriarchy (Jared is androgynous). Dina Powel, former adviser to Ivanka, soon made it onto Trump’s National Security Council. She was a relic from Goldman Sachs and an Ivanka recruit. The affable Democrat Gary Cohn, Trump’s chief economic advisor, was former president and chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs.

These “Kushner-Cohn Democrats” ousted Stephen Bannon from the West Wing.

Ivanka and the bimbo parade proved to be “The Donald’s most intractable problem.” “What Ivanka wanted Ivanka got,” at the expense of the MAGA agenda.

Whether Deplorables admit it or not, the two New York liberals, a nepotistic appendage to the Trump Administration, had been a disaster for the plank President Trump had promised and for which Deplorables voted.

And I won’t even go into the press secretaries who bedecked Donald’s dais, starting with stumblebum Sarah Huckabee, obsequious, apologetic and useless.

From Day One, and in a book published June 29, 2016, I had cheered “The Trump Revolution” and in particular, “The Donald’s Creative Destruction.” In “The Trump Revolution, The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed” (June, 2016), Trump was celebrated as a,

“Political Samson that threatened to bring the den of iniquity crashing down on its patrons, … an entrenched punditocracy, a self-anointed, meritless intelligentsia, oleaginous politicians, slick media, big money: You name it; Trump was tossing and goring it.”

In the same book, I had recommended that if Trump needed bling to front his administration—let him choose women like Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter, who could bring it intellectually, had fight in them, and are easy on the eye, too. But men with fragile egos don’t like women smarter than themselves.

The Republicans are execrable for their weak response to the martyrdom of Donald Trump.

Still, there is no question that Donald Trump is a political martyr.  I first uttered the M word on January 13, 2021, over 2 years ago, in a post titled, “Make No Mistake, It Is Trump Voters Who’re Being Impeached In The House, Set Up For Persecution“:

Martyred twice—take the president’s second impeachment, passed impromptu in the House (Senate still to fold) with no due process of law afforded him whatsoever—as a badge of honor, a decoration of sorts

Trump is a brother now, say individuals calling themselves Blacks For Trump  … They put you in the infamous Fulton County Jail in Atlanta; that means the system is messing with you. You are one of us. What the brothers are sensing here is injustice. It’s what I call the Law of Rule, as opposed to the rule of law.

The Permanent State, Democrat and Republican, want him gone for good—and worse. There! I said it. It’s the truth. Now that Trump has been martyred—we pray for the former president and admire him for his resolve and resilience in the face of pure evil.

My admiration for Trump the Man notwithstanding—his failures as a president are irremediable. He ushered in an intolerable and damaging T & A show of treacherous bitches. He normalized neoconservatism, emboldening its representative to make a comeback, by heeding his daughter and hiring so many of them. Nikki Haley and John Bolton are examples. He heeded their policy advice too:

“It’s often said that the Trump administration is ‘isolationist,’” wrote historian Andrew J. Bacevich, in the UK Spectator. Untrue. “In fact, we are now witnessing a dramatic escalation in the militarization of US foreign policy in the Middle East, Africa and Afghanistan. This has not been announced, but it is happening, and much of it without … any debate in Congress or the media.”

Trump squandered the mandate he was given. He failed to prevent the consolidation—and the crimes—of a Covid Cartel, the vaccine, the lockdowns, the decimation of American small business and the destruction brought by the summer of black-on-white rage, which went unpunished under his watch. The promised Wall gave way to “multilayered technology”; to the “deployment of additional personnel,” and to the tried-and-tested (not!) “vetting of prospective immigrants, refugees, and other foreign visitors.”

And you know that Kimberly G-String (who makes Madonna look natural) will be waltzing straight into a role as Trump’s press secretary—if not Don Jr., paramour, then another such apparition like her.


More about Kimberly Guilfoyle in “Is Political Participation Predicated On Views About Holocaust?” (November 14, 2019)

(8/28/023): Then there is Alina Habba-Habba. She’s what Trump appoints, and will continue to appoint, because he lacks the wherewithal to assess serious intelligence and to think deeply. Otherwise, Donald Trump is adorable. His mug shot is a piece of political art.

 

 

UPDATED (5/19): NEW COLUMN: RFK, Jr.: Authentic Americanism That Loves Liberty, Loathes Lockdowns, Upbraids Abe

NEW COLUMN is “RFK, Jr.: Authentic Americanism That loves liberty, Loathes Lockdowns, Upbraids Abe.” It was featured on WND.COM, The Unz Review, where it was one of the main features, and The New American.

READ IT NOW on IlanaMercer.com.

UPDATE (5/20): The number of views for this column’s companion Hard Truth podcast-–recorded 3 weeks back with my honorable, trustworthy podcast partner David Vance—is 32,000! Truth is timeless, especially when it’s predictive. You see, other popular podcasts have only just caught up with our insights. Namely that Fox News is doomed. (Chuckle. Hearty). Tucker and Trump were transformational. We hope against hope that RFK, Jr. will be too.

Excerpt:

THE GULF BETWEEN principles and practice, doxa and praxis, is eternal—all the more so when it comes to the politician.

When you think of a GOP candidate, in particular, you think of neither creed nor action, but, rather, of a list of talking points and policy positions to the exclusion of bedrock principles.

“God, groceries and gas” was how one gaseous hack smugly summed up what Americans need, to Sean Hannity of the near-defunct [chuckle] Fox News channel. That, and promises seldom kept.

Aside from a native intelligence, and to distinguish from his rotten party’s political plank—Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., conversely, does articulate a creed that respects liberty. Whether he will act on this commendable worldview once in office is unknown.

As it emerged from the RFK, Jr., announcement for president, his worldview departs from that of the progressive Democrat Party’s, which he has decried as “the party of fear, war and censorship… neocons with woke bobble-heads.”

RFK, Jr’s philosophy of liberty, moreover, appears wedded to reality. He doesn’t jabber GOP-style about a return to small government and the passing of a balanced budget amendment.

Such totem Republican “small-government” words are as good as Orwellian News Speak in concealing the truth, as they are dumbly and dangerously unmoored from reality, and thus meaningless, mere reductive talking points.

With an accreting $31.8 trillion in national debt, and some $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities incurred by federal and state governments—the United States of America is beyond such asinine talk. There is no coming back from this kind of government gigantism; from such Federal Reserve and state-driven chicanery, with which Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seems familiar and to which he speaks knowledgeably.

Your columnist’s task over the decades has been to address reality, not to levitate in the arid arena of pure thought. Kennedy does the same. As does he appear to grasp that the natural law of the Constitution has been buried under piles of statute and administrative-law precedent. He knows this all too well, having spent his working life litigating against the Deep, Regulatory, Administrative, Security, Welfare-Warfare State. …

… THE REST.  “RFK, Jr.: Authentic Americanism That loves liberty, Loathes Lockdowns, Upbraids Abe.” https://www.ilanamercer.com/2023/05/rfk-jr-authentic-americanism-loves-liberty-loathes-lockdowns-upbraids-abe/

NEW COLUMN: FBI SUDDENLY Vested In The Intentional Lab Leak Theory Of COVID’s Origins

Excerpt:

… Skepticism is duly in order—“Laughing Out Loud” emojis, rather—when the FBI, apparatus of an “Empire of Lies,” embraces the intentional-leak theory with respect to COVID’s origins.

As it happens, “FBI Director Christopher Wray,” reports the BBC News, “has said that the bureau believes Covid-19 most likely originated in a Chinese government-controlled lab.” You don’t say. That settles it, now, doesn’t it? Well, no, it doesn’t. Not with the FBI’s lousy track record for veracity, neutrality and reliability.

Coming from the FBI, the intentional-leak theory seems rich—certainly as “intuitive” as Russia blowing up “the Nord Stream pipelines, also some of Europe’s most important civilian energy infrastructure.” By no coincidence, the FBI is currently running interference in a kinetic war with Russia and in a ramp-up to confrontation with China. (Leaks in biosafety level-4 laboratories have occurred both in the USA and in China.)

So, who gave COVID to the world? The bat-eating, Chinese people thus gifted the world. The plague-delivery pedigree of the Chinese is solid. Courtesy of the Chinese, the West got the H2N2 virus in 1957 and the H3N2 virus in 1968. Granted, the Chinese viral supply chain was broken with H1N1 flu; it came from Mexico. But, with the bird flu, SARS and SARS-Cov-2, the Chinese had fully reestablished their conventional disease-delivery credentials.

As conservatives tell it, the Chinese Communist Party is responsible for COVID, rather than the many millions of Chinese, who capture, torture—boil alive—and consume wild animals in ways that beggar belief. …

… The clincher: If we know anything about the Chinese it is that, unlike the Americans, they do tend to act in the national interest. Covid was, very plainly, not in the national interest. …

HARD TRUTH PODCAST LIVE: Tuesday, March 7th, 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time

Africa, Conservatism, COVID-19, Critique, Donald Trump, Foreign Policy, Intelligence, Politics, Republicans, Russia

THE HARD TRUTH PODCAST, with David Vance and myself, will be streaming or broadcasting live, Tuesday, March 7th, at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

RUMBLE is the venue, although we are on all the other platforms, including Podbean and David’s Twitter and Gettr homes.

https://rumble.com/c/HardTruthPodcast

TOPICS include: The batshit crazy American belligerence against China. While offering meek opposition to the Ukraine project, the ostensibly “sane” wing of the GOP is ever ready with an alternative war. Booboisie seems on board with the buildup.

I am, however, buoyed by Africa’s resistance to US foreign-policy dictates, the direction taken with Putin, to be precise. Trust a Brother to have the gumption to tell the sanctimonious Anglo-Ameri-European axis of evil to go jump in the lake. Via RT.

We expect to touch on Trump’s address at CPUKE 2023. FBI Director Christopher Wray’s sudden need to direct the story-line about the origins of COVID has piqued our interest, too.

Be there. And send comments for posting while you watch.
