President "Tweety Bird" had a successful first term and deserves a second. He got NATO to be better funded, he is moving in the right direction towards peace in the Middle East for which he has received two nominations for a deserved Nobel Peace Prize. He brought troops home and changed trade laws. He helped quiet N Korea's bellicosity and was the first president to bring attention to China's thuggery and then do something about it. He addressed some important issues for blacks and presided over an outstanding economic and employment recovery until the pandemic hit and now is seeking to re-build at a fast clip. He also met a pandemic head on and demanded the drug industry proceed at an unprecedented pace to find a vaccine.
He did all of this against a mass media that hates him as well as the opposition impeached him for acts they actually performed and, in addition,spied on his administration in the hope of destroying disability to govern.

Everything announced/proposed today, whether a good or dumb cause, will find supporters. The goal is to be controversial and create discord. We live in a world where the secret hand of chaos is constantly at work tearing at the roots of civilization in order to bring about change through radicalism. The radicals, who are proponents and/or.supporters taking to the streets, have no interest in reasoned dialogue. Destruction and mayhem is what they seek and they either will be stopped, arrested, tried and incarcerated if guilty or they will rule.
These are the stark choices we face as a domestic society and those living in the world at large.
The 2020 election is symptomatic of the poisonous atmosphere I have described. We are told men can enter female restrooms, compete in their sport activities,whites are privileged, blacks live in a nation where they remain enslaved, and this by successful black millionaire's. We are told one cannot engage in debate on campuses and professors spew their political views and base grading on regurgitation. Pc'ism dictates behaviour and blah blah blah. You know the rest.
All of this inanity is meant to raise blood pressures, to rise above reasoning so as to induce dissatisfaction with what has been acceptable and productive. Our nation has consistently moved forward. Each generation has been free to bring about positive change and has done so. We have made mistakes in the process but no nation can hold a candle to America and the collective goodness of it's people and this sticks in the craw of the chaos folks. So tear it down boys and girls for you know not what you do and those who tolerate this madness do so at their peril.
Specific to the need for a return to a basic, sound education at a reasonable price the college , on whose board I sat for eight years, St John's, is well suited for today's heated war on a liberal education.
Through the Great Books, St John's College's Tutors help students learn to reason which prepares them to be inquisitive and to overcome any fears about learning. If you can read you can learn. If you can learn you will live a better and more informed life. If you have a better life you will be a bigger asset to society and if you accomplish that you will die a happier and more productive and fruitful life.
Recently, St John brought annual cost down into the lower 30's in order to attract more students to this small, highly self- selective college. St John's believes it has something good for America and it's students and is the 3rd oldest college in America. Francis Scott Key founded the school's alumni association.

Brilliant analysis and a courageous article:
God, Parents and the ‘1619 Project’
Religious Americans should reject the idea that slavery is what defines the nation.
By
President Trump tweeted on Sunday that the Education Department is “looking at” whether public schools were teaching the New York Times ’ “1619 Project,” which argues that the U.S. is a corrupt country fundamentally built on slavery. Historians have shown in these pages why this is false and a harmful idea, but there are also reasons for religious Americans to reject this revision of history.
First, as a black American, I believe it is particularly important to break away from the oppressive way of thinking promulgated by the “1619 Project.” Slavery is an appalling part of this nation’s history, and discrimination continues in some forms today. But these flaws do not define the self-correcting spirit of freedom and truth etched into America’s founding documents. They certainly don’t define me as an individual.
My belief in individual choice and personal responsibility is why I oppose programs that create dependence on the government. By subsidizing recklessness and the growing affects of immorality, these programs have subverted, undermined and unraveled the tapestry of thriving and healthy families. Ultimately the successes and failures of the black community come from the choices we make.
The idea that the U.S. is a racist country predates the “1619 Project.” It’s no wonder countless African-Americans—including many of my family and friends—have bought this lie and vote for progressive politicians. But believing that your destiny is determined by factors outside your control, like the color of your skin, is demeaning. Black parents need to oppose false portrayals of history and unite around the shared values that created the U.S.
We must hold ourselves accountable and build communities that teach the next generation how to live meaningful lives. Parents have the ultimate responsibility to train and educate their children. God designed the family as an expression of his spiritual truths, to reflect his image and fulfill a critical role on Earth. It is the mind and will of God for parents to demonstrate morality and a practical way of life—leaving a spiritual inheritance to their offspring. Only parents, not the government, can ensure that this critical knowledge will be carried from
More than 100 years ago Booker T. Washington wrote: “There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs—partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” Little has changed since.
“Evaluated honestly, the 1619 Project is a kind of performance art,” Columbia professor John McWhorter argued earlier this year. “Facts, therefore, are less important than attitude. [The project’s Nikole] Hannah-Jones has predictably dismissed serious and comprehensive empirical critiques, as if for Black thinkers, truth is somehow ranked second to fierceness and battle poses.”
Public schools today—like the ones using “1619” in their curriculum—rely on one-size-fits-all secular humanistic indoctrination to dumb down American children and drive wedges between them and their parents. Such secularism has grown increasingly hostile to patriotism and parental authority. Its greatest enemies are true diversity, tolerance and the nuclear family structure. This form of progressive education destroys and distorts God’s order and the fundamental rights of parents and society.
The public school system in Illinois, where I live, is an example of gross negligence in education. The system is failing to instill time-tested values while encouraging social perversion, truancy and violence. The results of this are most apparent in Chicago public schools. Notably today’s education system has excised God. In doing so, it has eliminated order and structure in society. Children memorize letters and numbers but nothing unifies their education other than the pursuit of grades. Meantime, their souls hang in the balance.
Fourteen years ago the Lord called my husband and me to home-school our four children. Since then we have witnessed American culture’s aggressive decline. We need a Judeo-Christian alternative to government education.
Building better schools and giving parents real educational autonomy is the way to build a better future for this nation’s children and the means to reclaim America’s heritage. We must safeguard our children’s innocence by opposing the false prophets of our day while constructing a viable alternative for them. This project entails returning to our first love, Judeo-Christian values, and our first principles of liberty and justice codified in the Declaration of Independence by imperfect but prescient men.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ As for Democrats, in general, they have become expert at accusing others of what they do as a method of bait and switch. Biden began doing so from the moment he was flushed out of the basement. It is a clever way to divert and during interviews most reporters never challenge, they simply proceed by disregarding to challenge another act of continued/purposeful diversion.

President Trump Hasn’t Been
Soft on Kremlin
The charge that President Trump has shown “passivity” toward the Kremlin is wrong.
By Christian Whiton
In your editorial “Navalny and Nord Stream 2” (Sept. 9), you rightly conclude that canceling the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline would send a strong signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin that the free world won’t tolerate murdering political opponents. But the charge that President Trump has shown “passivity” toward the Kremlin is wrong. Senior administration officials routinely press our friends and allies to take a firm line against the Russian government’s human-rights abuses and attempts to harm opponents. The administration sent weapons to Ukraine, imposed sanctions against Moscow, closed its consulates in San Francisco and Seattle and expelled 60 Russian diplomats suspected of spying.
You err in asserting that President Trump has never cared much about human rights. With no prospect of political gain, Mr. Trump launched a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality—an historic first. His administration has been one of the world’s most outspoken critics of the horrendous human-rights abuses against the Uighurs in China, the citizens of Hong Kong, Venezuelans and Iranian pro-democracy activists, and it has backed up words with sanctions and strong diplomacy. It has also fought anti-Semitism more than its predecessors, and recently brokered the historic recognition agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Israel and Kosovo. This is a human-rights record of which Americans can be proud.
Mr. Whiton is a former senior adviser in the U.S. State Department.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In terms of Obama, I believe historians will treat him more realistically when the present atmosphere fades and a more objective look back becomes permissible.
So Trump lied about the pandemic because he did not want Americans to panic yet, he acted as he should have. Once again, don't believe what you hear. Better you believe what you see enacted.
If one wants to measure lies and/or withholding facts then here are some beauties from Trump's predecessor .
a) Bergdahl
b) Benghazi
C Iran cash pallets
d) Over-reaction when a policeman stopped a resident from entering his home
e) Corruption of Federal Agencies, IRS, FBI and Justice Department
f) Attack on police regarding the shooting in the suburb of St Louis
g) Spying on or knowing about the spying on his successor
h) His church affiliation with Rev Wright
i) What he really meant by saying he wanted to transform America. I believe he withheld his true intentions because what he did resulted in demeaning America in the eyes of the world with his apologies, his divisive approach to race relations as our first black president.
j) Did not tell the truth about he real estate transaction regarding his land purchase in Chicago on which he built his home.
k)Telling Medvedev to tell Putin to wait til I am re-elected.

Woodward’s Non-Revelation
There’s no need for the tell-all books. Trump tells us every day.
By The Editorial Board
The books professing dark revelations about President Trump appear to be lined up from here to Election Day, like aircraft heading into LaGuardia. This week it’s Bob Woodward’s turn, with the big news reportedly being that Mr. Trump told him in a taped conversation on Feb. 7 that he had played down the coronavirus despite knowing it was “deadly stuff.”
This is not news. We know Mr. Trump played down the virus threat at the time because he said so publicly many times. We wrote an editorial about it on March 12, “The Virus and Leadership,” warning Mr. Trump that voters would judge his Presidency largely on how he handled the virus. Q.E.D.
Mr. Trump now says he was trying to keep people from panicking. And given his preoccupation with marketing, we believe him. We also know the President understood the virus was deadly, even if the risks weren’t fully clear, because he barred arrivals from China on Jan. 31 and Europe on March 11.His Administration’s Covid-19 record has also been better than he makes it sound—in mobilizing private-public efforts for testing, PPE and vaccines, and preventing a financial meltdown in March. His main failing has been inconstant rhetorical leadership. He has undersold the virus risks and oversold his own achievements when what the public has wanted all along is the candid reality. This is no small failing in a crisis.
But we know all this because it is on the public record. This may be the most transparent Presidency in history, for better or worse. His faults and mistakes are on constant display, whether in his own voice or leaks to a press that wants him gone.
Democrats are now citing the Woodward non-reveal as proof that Mr. Trump is responsible for 190,000 deaths, which is contemptible even by today’s political standards. Covid-19 would have challenged any Presidency, as it has Democratic governors. Mr. Trump has made mistakes, as we have often pointed out. But he also saved lives and livelihoods by urging an earlier end to the lockdowns that have done horrific economic and public-health harm.
By the way, in February prominent Democrats sounded like Mr. Trump. Nancy Pelosi on Feb. 24: “it’s very safe to be in Chinatown and hope that others will come. . . . We want people to be concerned and vigilant. However, we don’t want them to be afraid. . . . So, again, this fear is—I think—unwarranted in light of the precautions that are being taken here in the United States.”
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Jan. 30: “We have been here before, and I want to remind New Yorkers that it is much more likely that they will be exposed to the influenza virus than to the coronavirus.” There are more.
The media campaign to hold Mr. Trump solely responsible for the harm from Covid-19 is rank political opportunism. Voters should ignore the campaign and judge the whole record.
