Let's not Forget the Poor Narco-Terrorists
By J.B. Shurk
In the “old days,” proud leftists mocked Christians for their social concerns by theatrically asking, “Won’t somebody please think of the children?” The rhetorical barb was meant to portray non-leftists as being easily duped rubes who are always hyperventilating over some imaginary “moral panic.” These days, it is leftists who are constantly overreacting to Trump administration policies as if each one guarantees that the world will end.
Before President Trump even entered office back in 2017, the leftist press corps blob ran a glut of stories promising Americans that the outsider politician would start WWIII. After Trump used his time in office to avoid new military engagements and draw others to a close, that “moral panic” disappeared. Today leftist “journalists” are extremely worried that Trump will end the war in Ukraine. That proxy war between Russia and U.S.-NATO has always represented a real risk of runaway conflict between the world’s preeminent nuclear powers, yet the president’s earnest attempts to keep the matter from expanding into an apocalyptic nightmare now bother the same leftists who once pretended to fear WWIII.
For the first six months of Trump’s second term, leftist politicians and pundits screeched about the scourge of tariffs and how they would destroy the economy. Every night, the “best and brightest” pontificators in the land promised Americans that inflation would soon bury them. Instead, Trump and his economic team have successfully used tariffs to reorient global trade to Americans’ benefit. The story of Trump’s first year back in office is that Biden’s four years of double-digit inflation has finally been tamed. Where are all the political prognosticators who once promised economic doom? They are largely silent. When they do mention inflation, they usually try to pretend that all the economic carnage that occurred on Biden’s watch is now somehow Trump’s fault. People with functioning brains just see liars spreading more lies.
