I know I shouldn’t say this, but my mind turns to it after all the D-Day celebration last week.
What if the Mueller probe was the deep state’s last desperate effort to stop the populist steamroller from looting and plundering its bureaucratic fiefs and dissolving its plush academic monasteries? What if the offensive has now failed, and all the best lefty troops were ground up in the Mueller Battle of the Bulge?
I know, I know. Don’t get cocky, kid.
And what if the social media deplatforming of obscure “far right” actors -- people who would be heroic “activists” if they were lefties -- is in fact directing attention to

I love the ending:
But I tell you what is scandalous about all this. How come it took a commodities trader like Nigel Farage and a real-estate tycoon like Donald Trump to jump-start the Conservative Awokening? I thought we had philosophers and other deep thinkers for that.

Is this what passes for English composition in our colleges now? (Shudder)

Business people can run DC better than permanent DC politicians! However the media, judges & dems are giving 10000% to prevent Trump from being Trump.

Not only conservatives waking up but all people. It is either God guiding your life through HIs Word or government controlling you. I prefer to have God leading me. It is getting to the point where it seems like liberal businesses and a liberal government are trying to manipulate social issues. It is not my call or judgement to how a person lives. And I am talking about all lifestyles. If a person doesn't want God in their life, that is their call. If they want to eat, drink, do drugs, have sex with whoever, be corrupt and irresponsible, that is their call.
It starts to infringe on my territory when I, as a God-loving individual, have to feel guilty because I take a look at what God says about the issue. I have read the Bible from beginning to end a few times. God provides a wealth of information on every issue that confronted people in the Old Testament times and he provides a wealth of information that people can use today with the New Testament.
It is my opinion that a lot of these elitist government people are grasping at straws because they realize that people are starting to wake up. I am one of those that are waking up to what is happening.

Many Conservatives were willingly put to sleep by the untouchable status awarded to the illegal immigrant kenyan known as Barack HUSSEIN Obama. The Leftists even frowned when his middle name was used and you could not mention the huge African Elephant ears without somebody screaming RACIST! But since he turned out to be a fraud devoid of honor, integrity, manhood, competence or honesty, the charade fell apart and we are now woke. We needed extreme countermeasures to defeat the Left's false cloak of royalty that they placed on Obama and Donald Trump was the answer. He not only defeated the notion that Obama and Hillary were the future of America, he humiliated them by becoming the best President in American history and destroyed their pathetic legacies. NEVER AGAIN will we voluntarily give the Left an inch in their evil plans to "fundamentally change America." Thank you, President Trump.

The more I study current events the more I realize we are still fighting a residual phase of WWII. WWII was a clash between socialist powers one of which was successful in infiltrating the decision making levels of the free West and securing their support and eventual victory. The USSR didn't go away, nor did their influencers in the West. They went on to helping tip the scales for Mao Zedong leading to North Korea and North Vietnam.
The "end" of the cold war was merely a tactical withdrawal, not an end at all. Until we grasp the the nature of the real enemy our awakening can only be partial at best.

Many of us are quietly seething because of the outright criminality and frenzied outpouring of hate from 'the left' in America. The conclusion reached - without a doubt - is that they'd rather see this country burn in flames if it means it will hurt our current President. They don't want to see 'anything good' happen in (or to) America. Unbelievable that an entire Party has adopted this nasty, autocratic, beyond-all-reason attitude. We who do not have a public forum are eternally grateful to those who do and are speaking out strongly and fighting back against these dangerous malcontents - on our behalf.

FTA: “How come it took a commodities trader like Nigel Farage and a real-estate tycoon like Donald Trump to jump-start the Conservative Awokening? I thought we had philosophers and other deep thinkers for that.”
Progressivism has permeated the minds of most philosophers and deep thinkers because they have rejected God. When you deny God you fill that void with your own moral values. You are then the arbitrator of right and wrong and good and evil. When that occurs you find yourself sliding down that slippery slope into a pool of anything goes. We have not hit rock bottom in that sludge as evidenced by the moral decay we see in the public square. When there are no standards of right and wrong, the country will collapse under the weight of situational ethics in every aspect of our lives. We see it happening in our legal system, our academic institutions, business world, and culture.
What we have in President Trump and Nigel Farage are two individuals who understand what is happening and why. President Trump clearly sees the need to acknowledge the importance of God in our society. He has single-handedly brought back the acknowledgement of God in the public square and His importance in our lives. Man cannot be the ultimate arbitrator of right and wrong because he is a sinful creature filled with his own self-importance. The elites of the world do not even acknowledge Him and have zero desire for his authority over them.
The two men mentioned in this article are courageous in the face of global opposition. However, those of us around the world who believe in God understand their willingness to stand and be counted and we will support them. We have been waiting for someone to step forward and take up the fight. For decades we have seen progressives attack everything we believe is true and right. We have allowed evil to prosper because too many good men and women did nothing. Now that is changing. God bless President Trump and Farage and any other who will stand in the breach and say, no more.

Waking up means, above all, understanding the true nature of the Left. Republicans who think Democrats are well-intentioned patriots who honestly want to help people and make America a better place, those Republicans are not just sound asleep, they are in a coma.

For nearly three years - - all of us have been biting our nails - - wondering, conjecturing, projecting, fretting - -
- - about who will be the Last Japanese Soldier - - the last holdout NeverTrumper.
Who will it be? Kristol? Stephens? Lowry? Goldberg? Noonan? Podhoretz? French? Napolitano? Who will be the last one to fall on his or her sword? To concede that he or she was wrong - - and that we were right - - that Trump is a truly great president? The suspense is excruciating!
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! I can't wait to find out!

The key to the awakening, IMO, has been the realization (epiphany for some) that the media has been enabling the anti-American forces of the political left. The media has lied to us by every means available: Omission, commission, misrepresentation, context reversal, fake polls, allowing lies by others- with no challenges. In fact, what has the media NOT done to enable our enemies? The media, with some exceptions, has made an enemy of itself!

Conservatives like to think smart people will see the logic, or God's handiwork, or whatever that will cause government to do the right thing in the true national interest. Liberals think people need their help to survive in a cruel world, there is no God, and government is the instrument of social justice and change for the better. Among both are "politicians" who manipulate the message on behalf of their patrons in the name of self-interest.
The Founders had it right - the biggest fear is the misuse of government by "good people" as a cudgel for any "good" reason. Conservatives are willing to trade their liberty for security, as patriots trusting government will give it back after the emergency. They think that denying the lifestyle changes they make in the face of such as terrorism defeats the enemy while spouting that change represents enemy victory - the terrorists win.
Liberals want universal safety and well-being at all costs, even at the price of liberty, which they do not prize over identifying as part of the directing collective. Eat your greens, buckle up, and give up your guns - or face a fine and possibly incarceration.
Don't forget to send money to your favorite political party!

When I listen to Rush Limbaugh on some days I noticed he has shifted gears to drive home the fact that the entire left with their jackals, the media, are basically American haters trying the redefine the entire building of America. To them we (Americans with the founders) are illegitimate owners of the country and we owe everyone and every country in the world our ill gotten gains. The latest is how President Trump treated Mexico with our illegal immigration crisis makes him out to be a bully. America is a world bully just for doing what's right for America. The people of America on the right have awaken since we have seen the worse with Hussein Obama.
The coup is going on but it's a shadow of itself since being exposed and the traitorous leaders of it are exposed but it's not over. Only good honest patriots with our support can save the Republic.

It's because folks took a long time to realize they were being had. The left and msm have been effective in controlling the narratives each and every day for decades now. But technology has enabled us to find the truth external of the msm. We also have two men Trump and Garage who are effective in communicating external of the msm. Conservatives have been rewoke as to their values and proof of Divine Intervention that happened on November 2016 with the election of President Trump. The left has since replaced belief in the Creator with instance to the state. Hence, the left resorts to tribalism to express it's evil intents in an effort to bully conservatives to it's evil ways. And we see evidence of this each and every day.

One problem the democrats have is their support for abortion on demand up to the point of birth. How can any normal person think that is a woman’s right to choose .
There is no right to murder a viable human being.
Poeple are finally waking up to what these poeple are trying to do to the fabric of this country.
As a Christian I firmly believe that God will send abortion providers to the hottest part of hell.
But that is one mans opinion.

#17, I love the hilarity of spell check. It does the same thing to me very often. It comes up with some classic comedy lines.

Dems and libs have been making unanswered points for decades. I hope conservatives are waking up, but I have my doubts. For one thing, conservatives are too busy making a living and taking care of their families to take part in mobs on the streets.
