Instead of using a picture of Peggy Noonan to illustrate this post, I decided to use one of a politically savvy woman. Kim Kardashian got Donald John Trump to ditch 3 decades of Lock Em Up advocacy to promote and sign into law the first federal prison reform in my lifetime
Noonan at the Wall Street Journal is useless as George Will, Max Boot, Jennifer Rubin and the rest of the Washington Post.
They are relics of 20th century commentary in which newspaper columnists regularly got away with leaving out major portions of story to make their case. . . .
In the 21st century, columnists must offer actual proof to make their case because the truth seeps out online.
Well, where’s the fun in that?

Of course, all the public evidence makes her claim false. It’s hard to believe Trump “muscled” or “extorted” or “bribed” the Ukrainians when they didn’t even know the aid Trump allegedly withheld had been delayed. By the way, wasn’t it Trump, not the credentialed Obama, who sent Ukraine the Javelin anti-tank missiles that Obama withheld? Instead, Obama sent them blankets, no doubt worrying over the “reset” with Russia and keeping his promise to Vladimir of more foreign policy “flexibility.” And how exactly does Noonan know what Trump was thinking, or whether he was so worried about the self-imploding Joe Biden? You want to see some “muscling” and quid pro quo, watch the video of Biden bragging about holding up a billion dollars in aid if Ukraine didn’t quash an investigation of the dodgy Ukrainian company Burisma, which was paying his son $50-80,000 a month.
So it has been since the day Trump became a candidate. The bipartisan ruling caste closed ranks and started fighting off the barbarian invader.
Yeah, how’s that going?
