It's been said how one handles victory and defeat is very revealing of one's character. "Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat."
Over the last eight years and 2 months, the Democrats and the left have done neither. From Obama's "We won; you lost" to Republicans shortly after taking office to the current daily protests of President Trump and attempts to delegitimize him even before he was inaugurated, the left has truly shown us who they are: petulant children.
Thank God grown ups are back in charge! Don't disappoint us Mr Trump. The adult half of the nation is counting on you!

Obama Commutes Sentence of Chelsea Manning
Today President Obama commuted the sentence of confessed spy and traitor Chelsea "Bradley" Manning. WTF? Can anyone explain the rationale behind this?
Does Mr Obama ever do anything that is in the best interest of the United States?
Do liberals ever do anything that doesn't indulge the perverted?
Man I cannot wait for this eight year nightmare to end!

Is Sen Kamala Harris on to Something?
In Rep Mike Pompeo's Senate confirmation hearing, the CIA Director nominee was asked a wide range of pertinent questions by his Republican colleagues and a few of the Democrats; questions like like his views on Russia, cyber security, ISIS, China, Iran, etc. By contrast, in her first Senate hearing, Kamala Harris (D-CA) the new Senator elected to replace the retiring Barbara Boxer asked about climate change. Could Harris actually be on to something? Do we need the CIA to spy on the planet in order to figure out what it is up to? Grown ups know the answer.

Breaking News: Beloved Actress, Meryl Streep Wakes From 8 Year Coma
Last night in her Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech at the Golden Globe Awards, Meryl Streep said the following:
"This brings me to the press. We need the principled press to hold power to account, to call them on the carpet for every outrage."
Apparently Ms Streep has been in a coma for the last eight years.
What a joke!

Why Putin Would Prefer Trump
I'm not saying I believe the Russians affected the outcome of the 2016 election but if they did, why would they prefer Trump over Hillary Clinton? I can think of several reasons right off the top of my head. First, Trump would mean a strong America. One might be tempted to think a strong America is not in Russia's best interest but that would be a mistake. A weak America is actually a more dangerous America and a Clinton presidency would have certainly guaranteed a weaker America. A weak America invites challenges from provocateurs like Iran, North Korea, and ISIS. Additionally, perceived weakness on the part of the United States reduces our negotiating power which further increases the likelihood of conflict. Moreover, as an extension of the Obama Administration, a Clinton Administrative would have continued to fail to provide leadership on the world stage which would make it necessary for Russia to step in as it has had to do in Syria. Putin and the Russians know that a strong America makes everyone safer. There are other reasons why the Russians would prefer Trump over Hillary.
The second reason the Russians would have tried to influence our election in addition to insuring a stronger America providing real leadership in the world again is that Trump will be better for the economy. A strong American economy is essential to a healthy global economy. Obama and the Democrats have more than doubled our national debt, imposed anti-business regulations and legislation, and embarked on a wealth redistribution scheme that will sooner rather than later cripple our economy. Their zero sum game economic view sees America as the world robber baron rather than as a powerful economic engine driving a healthy global economy. Trump understands that America is the solution not the problem and unlike Hillary, he plans to work to fix the American economy rather than "manage its decline". A more healthy and vibrant US economy will lead to a better world economy by creating a "bigger pie" from which Russia stands to benefit. In addition to a stronger America with a stronger economy, there is one other reason Putin might have wanted Trump to win: it's better to deal with a pragmatist rather than an ideological zealot.
Hillary Clinton is a far left ideolog who, even when faced with mountains of evidence contrary to that ideology, is unable to adjust her positions to comport with a dynamic world. This leads to bad decisions like prematurely pulling out of Iraq, overthrowing Muammar Gaddafi and the Iranian Nuclear Deal. Trump on the other hand appears to be pragmatic and willing to adjust his positions and courses of action in order to take advantage of changing situations. That is the mark of a successful businessman who makes good decisions. Bad American decisions are bad for Russia too.
It now seems pretty clear that the Russians did do some hacking during the 2016 election. What isn't clear is if those hacks affected the results in Trump's favor. Apparently what they did do was leak inside information from the DNC and the Clinton campaign that exposed their dirty tricks and their real opinion of the American voters. If that had an effect on the election, it was because it exposed the truth. What is also clear is the truth benefits everyone including both America and Russia. How can that be a bad thing?

Megyn Kelly to Show Her True Stripes?
NBC announced today that Megyn Kelly will be joining their organization upon leaving Fox News. What remains to be seen is whether she will pull an "Alisyn Camerota" and take a hard turn to the left or maintain a conservative bent. I have detected a somewhat shift in her positions since her Trump interview. Whether she will reveal her true stripes as just another lefty news reader for the Democrat Party or if she will be pressured to move left remains to be seen. If they are at all interested in their market share, it would be wise for NBC to allow her to help bring the network back into balance and
perhaps regain its viewership which has been dwindling for the last several years. The path Kelly's career takes will be a strong indicator as to whether the MSM is concerned with returning to real journalism and relevance or adhering to its ideology and continuing its slide into oblivion.

President-elect Keeps House in Check
He hasn't even been sworn in yet and Trump continues to provide leadership to help keep the establishment types in the House of Representatives in check. When word came out that the House was considering gutting the Ethics Committee, Trump took to Twitter to shame them into rethinking their plan which would have certainly been viewed by Conservatives and Liberals alike as just more of the same from Washington's political class. It's refreshing to have real leadership again in DC even before it's official.
