  1. You left out 2017. Since his election win, the Trump rally has added $4.1 trillion to the nation’s wealth. Anyone with a 401k, an IRA, college savings, retirement savings, mutual funds. Anyone with a dime in the market has taken a piece of that $4 trillion. Can anyone tell me the Democraps’ growth plan? Do they have one? They apparently still cling to the belief that if we taxed the rich, and give to the poor, shackle capitalism and open the borders, we will somehow grow. Nonsense. Six months in, the left is mired in hate. SMH

  2. The thing is that if you look at pictures from Kabul, Tehran or Beirut from 1968, they would include pictures of young women in short skirts, and no hijabs in sight. It’s difficult to say what changed in the intervening years.

    • Three things changed (1) Ayatollah Khomeini stood up to the Great Satan and the Great Satan led by the Great General Jimmy Carter backed down in 1979 (and was thrown from power soon afterwards) (2) Using US arms and training helped the mujaheddin fighters defeated the Soviet Union and chase them out of Afghanistan with their tail between their legs in 1989 (and the Soviet Union collapsed a few years later) (3) The Muslim world saw weakness, and the Saudi’s started funding (and controlling) Mosques throughout the world, shifting them towards the extremely puritanical and aggressive version of their religion.
