Plenty of interesting things are going on in the world.\u00a0 Apparently \u00a0Never-Trumping isn\u2019t as popular or lucrative as some might have thought.\u00a0 The Weekly Standard, led by Bill Kristol and sticking to his NeverTrump platform seems to be going out of business.\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s hard to generate any sympathy for them.\u00a0 I used to read their magazine about fifteen years ago but they never seemed interested in forwarding the goals of the conservative movement they claimed to represent.\u00a0 Farewell Bill.<\/p>\n
The Trump haters are starting to whine that Mueller\u2019s investigation doesn\u2019t seem to have much to show for all the blather that\u2019s been done over the last couple of years.\u00a0 It\u2019s still too soon to tell but I\u2019ll take it as a good sign if the true believers are feeling short-changed.<\/p>\n
And word from France is that the yellow vest movement is getting bigger than just a revolt against the idiotic carbon tax on fuel.\u00a0 It sounds like a full-fledged populist revolt is imminent.<\/p>\n
These three news items are relatively unrelated.\u00a0 But what they share is a pain for the Left.\u00a0 The items about the Weekly Standard and the Yellow Vest revolt shows everyday people unwilling to support the leftist narrative.\u00a0 Most conservatives aren\u2019t going to pay to read Bill Kristol trash President Trump.\u00a0 And the working and middle class French aren\u2019t going to pay through the nose to support climate-change propaganda.<\/p>\n
And the angst about the Mueller investigation shows that those in the know, know that there\u2019s no there there.\u00a0 (See what I did there?)<\/p>\n
I\u2019m still waiting to see if any swamp draining gets done this week.\u00a0 I guess, to be fair, I can give them a week to make up for the GHWB funeral circus to end.\u00a0 But if nothing comes of it I\u2019ll be sorely disappointed in the President over what I\u2019ll take to be a bluffing Tweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
