Trump’s Unorthodox Policy Wins
Are Gaining Steady Support
by Victor Davis Hanson
{ dailysignal.com } ~ When candidate Donald Trump campaigned on calling China to account for its trade piracy, observers thought he was either crazy or dangerous... Conventional Washington wisdom had assumed that an ascendant Beijing was almost preordained to world hegemony. Trump’s tariffs and polarization of China were considered about the worst thing an American president could do. The accepted bipartisan strategy was to accommodate, not oppose, China’s growing power. The hope was that its newfound wealth and global influence would liberalize the ruling communist government. Four years later, only a naif believes that. Instead, there is an emerging consensus that China’s cutthroat violations of international norms were long ago overdue for an accounting. China’s reeducation camps, its Orwellian internal surveillance, its crackdown on Hong Kong democracy activists, and its secrecy about the deadly coronavirus outbreak have all convinced the world that China has now become a dangerous international outlier. Trump courted moderate Arab nations in forming an anti-Iranian coalition opposed to Iran’s terrorist and nuclear agendas. His policies utterly reversed the scumbag/liar-nObama administration’s estrangement from Israel and outreach to Tehran. Last week, Trump nonchalantly offered the Palestinians a take-it-or-leave-it independent state on the West Bank, but without believing that a West Bank settlement was the key to peace in the entire Middle East. Trump’s cancellation of the Iran deal, in particular, was met with international outrage. More global anger followed after the targeted killing of Iranian terrorist leader Gen. Qassim Suleimani. In short, Trump’s Middle East recalibrations won few supporters among the bipartisan establishment... https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/02/07/trumps-unorthodox-policy-wins-are-gaining-steady-support/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=trumps-unorthodox-policy-wins-are-gaining-steady-support&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTVdabE5UTmxOVGsyTUdWaCIsInQiOiI0UnlqdFNVclwvMUs1ZE12U1lNMlRNRFlqUCtNSlhCVFoyMWRxWjlablZYNGl4S1g4ZUVjZFFNVVlJTFIwdmZSeHViTG1raUw3UFMzM1d4aGJCaTg0NGlrR0xYeU03a29xdExVdmNrNitid05pQlVUamlRU3c3WHE2VFBrMm12WXkifQ%3D%3D .
Trump’s Budget: More For Wall & Defense,

Coronavirus Highlights Need for U.S. to Make
Our Own Medical Products Again
by sundance
{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ White House manufacturing policy advisor Peter Navarro has an important discussion with Maria Bartiromo about the consequences of the Coronavirus which includes the need for U.S. companies to return manufacturing to the United States on key medical products and pharmaceuticals... A very important subject. Both Navarro and Bartiromo note that our dependency on Asia for medical products is a problem when a global virus erupts, global demand for those products peaks, and the supply of those products becomes most urgent. It would seem obvious to me that medical products and pharmaceuticals would be two sectors for the Commerce Department Sec. Wilbur Ross where a national security review would be well worth the time & effort. The multinationals would fight the administration, but it might be worth this fight..

Funding Secured For 1,000 Miles Of
Border Wall, White House Officials Say
by CHRISTIAN DATOC
{ dailycaller.com } ~ The Trump administration is shifting its border wall focus from procuring resources to breaking ground on new construction after securing funds for 1,000 miles of new wall along the southern border... White House officials tell the Daily Caller. The fiscal year 2021 budget requests fewer funds for border wall construction than in previous years, but a senior White House official explained how the administration has “now shifted from securing funds to being able to build more wall.” Acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan said in January he expects to meet President Donald Trump’s goal of erecting 450 miles of new border wall construction by the end of 2020, and the White House maintained that optimism Sunday. “On the border, there’s great news to report,” the official told the Caller. “The president has kept his promise to secure the border. With funding available, the administration will build up to approximately 1,000 miles of border wall along the southwest border.” “The 2021 budget request, which has increases for infrastructure, technology, and law enforcement personnel, is what’s required to gain operational control of the border.”According to White House officials familiar with the fiscal year 2021 proposal, the budget request for Customs and Border Patrol jumped to $15.6 billion, up roughly 7 percent from last year’s enacted total. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also saw a significant budget bump, with a funding request just shy of $10 billion....
Portland Has Fallen: Videos Show Antifa
Attacking Cops, Police Retreat
According To Twitter Posts
by Mark Sidney
{ illicitinfo.com } ~ If you are reading this, odds are that you are well aware of the danger to our nation, the rule of law, and the physical health of anyone who is not a radical totalitarian communist that Antifa poses... The ‘Antifa’, or ‘Anti Fascist’ movement is one of the most ironic occurrences in the modern age. Fascism, according to Bing, involves ‘in general use extreme authoritarian, oppressive, or intolerant views or practices.‘‘Intolerant views’ … So, let me get this straight, the crazed mob, wearing all black from head to toe, faces covered with masks, weapons in hand, who physically assaults anyone who has political, social or religious views with which Antifa disagrees … are ‘anti-fascists.’ That is as absurd as saying that HRC is a patriotic stateswoman who values human life, or that Jeffery Epstein was a woman’s rights activist. Everyone and anyone paying attention to Antifa must see the absurdity of this movement of violent, spastic betas, hiding behind masks and engaging in gang violence, usually against a victim who is all by themsleves. It seems that Portland Oregon is the home base, or at least a major hub for the American/Globalist left’s modern day equivalent of Hitler’s ‘Sturmabteilung’ or ‘Brown Shirts’....

Fake Atomic Scientists Warn Not
Believing the Media Will Destroy the World
by Daniel Greenfield
{ sultanknish.blogspot.com } ~ Every year, Rachel Bronson, President and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, who has a degree in political science from Columbia, gets up in front of a fake clock to announce that the world is doomed.
And the media eagerly covers the annual imminent warning of doom as if it came with an open bar.
Bronson is not an atomic scientist. Or any kind of scientist. Unless you believe politics is a science. And if politics is a science, then Bronson is the Lysenko of the field, predicting doom out of bias and ignorance.
This year, the Doomsday Clock had its hands set forward to 100 seconds to midnight. After setting the clock at 2 minutes to midnight in honor of President Trump two years ago, it’s all out of minutes.
Now it’s down to seconds. At this rate the fake clock will soon be down to negative numbers.
If you don’t believe Rachel, maybe you’ll listen to Jerry Brown, former California governor and executive chair of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Jerry is not an atomic scientist, but he did nuke California.
According to Jerry, "If there’s ever a time to wake up, it’s now.”
But Jerry doesn’t want people waking up. He wants them to go back to sleep. And stay that way.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, led by atomic scientists like Rachel and Jerry, demand that, “the international community should begin multilateral discussions aimed at establishing norms of behavior, both domestic and international, that discourage and penalize the misuse of science.”
Like people claiming to be atomic scientists when they’re actually political hacks?
The Bulletin had been set up by lefties who were actual scientists to warn of a nuclear war. But, no matter what Rachel does with her big clock, a nuclear war is less likely than ever. So, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which is short on atoms, scientists and apocalypses, threw in global warming.
But global warming isn’t enough. The Doomsday Clock is at 100 seconds to midnight because of the threat of nuclear war and global warming, also fake news, deepfakes, AI, the internet, the Space Force, and mainly President Donald J. Trump. We’ve gone from nuclear scientists warning of nuclear war to political scientists warning that “national leaders have increasingly dismissed information with which they do not agree as fake news.” I wonder whom the Bulletin of the Political Scientists could mean.
“Leaders intent on blurring the line between fact and politically motivated fantasy—are a profound threat to effective democracies,” the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists warns.
That’s ironic because the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is a politically motivated fantasy.
Speaking of fake news, the Bulletin’s Editor-in-Chief, John Mecklin, had previously helped launch Key West Magazine. He is not an “atomic scientist”. Neither is Dan Drollette, who has an MA in science journalism from NYU. Nor is Elizabeth Eaves, a former opinion editor at Forbes.
Who else would be convinced that calling media lies fake news moves us 100 seconds to doomsday?
The current issue of the magazine that no one reads begins with warnings about nuclear doom by John Mecklin, which must be more exciting than writing about events at Key West, another by Alexandra Bell, a Center for American Progress alum with an MA in International Affairs from the New School.
Also featured is James N. Miller, an scumbag/liar-nObama admin vet with a BA in Economics from Stanford "where he played tennis for a team that won several national championships", along with Bruce G. Blair with a BS in Communications from the University of Illinois and a PHD in Operations Research from Yale. Also contributing is Brad Roberts who has a PhD in International Relations from Erasmus U, and Matt Korda who boasts an MA in International Peace & Security. If only tennis and political science were atomic.
The best of the bunch is Hans Kristensen, a former Greenpeace activist, who went on to become a special advisor to the Danish Defense Commission, a senior researcher at the Nautilus Institute, a consultant to the Nuclear Program at the Natural Resources Defense Council, and finally, the Director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists.
The most impressive thing about Hans' resume is that his education seems to have concluded at a Gymnasium: the Danish equivalent of high school.
Not only don’t you need to be an “atomic scientist” to write for the Bulletin, but you can even run the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists because you finished high school.
The Bulletin’s doomsday bulletin warns that the “political antagonism toward science and a growing sense of government-sanctioned disdain for expert opinion” is driving the world to an apocalypse.
But this is what “expert opinion” and “science” looks like. Experts means a bunch of people with degrees in political science, in communications, or in nothing except agitating for Greenpeace.
Expert opinion and science have become shams used for political purposes by radical ideologues.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is a bizarre relic of another time when “atomic scientist” was a job description and children were taught to crouch under desks in the event of a nuclear war. But, like the NAACP or HIAS, whose names alone make their complete irrelevance in 2020 clear, it won’t go away.
Why go on using the name? Because, “Former Key West Editor Predicts End is Nigh” would sound silly.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, its fake clock, its fake scientists, and the media’s uncritical repetition of its talking points shows why the public doesn’t trust expert opinion and science.
And why it’s right not to.
The skeptics are right. And the CNN viewers and New York Times readers who take the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists seriously because they assume anything with that name must be real are fools.
Expert opinion is a house of cards. The experts who are paraded in front of the cameras, who sign open letters, and write op-eds, are facades in the opening of an old western. They look good on a short cable news segment, but once you open the door, there’s nothing inside. And there never was.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is right to be worried. The clock is even closer to doomsday than 100 seconds. The world is about to be destroyed. Not our world, but their world.
"The internet provides widespread, inexpensive access to worldwide audiences, facilitating the broadcast of false and manipulative messages to large populations and enabling millions of individuals to indulge in their prejudices, biases, and ideological differences," the Bulletin complains.
The internet allows people to get news from outside the media bubble. It allows them to find out that the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and its Doomsday Clock are a bunch of empty nonsense.
And that’s scary if you’re one of the clan of Washington D.C. experts who are unemployable outside their exclusive field of bashing President Donald J. Trump and warning of the end of the world.
“The international security situation is now more dangerous than it has ever been, even at the height of the Cold War,” the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists claims.
Is the security situation more dangerous than when the human race was on the verge of destruction?
To the hacks of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the destruction of all life on earth is less of a threat than the destruction of their own credibility. The development of the hydrogen bomb 2 minutes to midnight is a lot less scary than public distrust of the media 1.4 minutes to midnight.
“Focused attention is needed to prevent information technology from undermining public trust in political institutions, in the media,” the Bulletin demands.
Too late.
Why would anyone believe political institutions and a media that promote a fake clock by a fake organization? The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is the best argument for distrusting the media.
Turn the Doomsday Clock to 100 seconds or zero. The atom has been split, the shockwave is spreading across the media’s high skyscrapers in New York City, and the fallout of fake news is raining down.
