The Emperor Has No Clothes

              Courtiers....lords and ladies in waiting....squires....counts and viscounts....viceroys....retired knights....and assorted vassals....these folks follow President Trump from the Winter Palace to the Summer Palace and back again. Although duly elected in a democratic fashion the assemblage of this administration has taken on a monarchical flare as when King Henry VIII was following the hounds on a fox hunt....but it's President Trump following a little white ball on the golf course. It was JFK's administration where 'Camelot' was coined but here it's more of a 'camel lot' where assorted sheiks and caliphs and sultans sit at the Round Table at the behest of Princess Ivanka's consort.....and mime court jester.....Jared.
              Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes seems written for what is going on in conservative talk radio today as the hosts have consistently over two years painted a picture of a president who keeps promises when in reality it has mostly been candies thrown from a gold-plated carriage while the President and Ivanka wave from the windows.
              There are those of us out here who are trying to put the Trump administration in proper perspective....shouting as loud as we can that the emperor has no clothes....but each and every day a rabid Leftist mob shouts "to the guillotine" which gathers all the headlines....and distorts basic decency and reason in the public square in the process.....but most importantly gives Rush & Friends an excuse to avoid and obscure President Trump's utter failures as they rebut the taunts.
              It's time for a 'shout out' of sorts to Bretbart News Daily radio hosted by Alex Marlow. It hasn't been stellar reporting on the President by any means as it still avoids the overall deception that is the essence of Donald Trump but Marlow has....along with the most knowledgeable expert on the border in Brandon Darby....brought the issue of 'the wall' right smack dab to the fore.
              In what has become a non-existent occurrence on the major conservative talk radio shows....President Trump was taken to the woodshed....as Ann Coulter was interviewed. Among the opinions that she expressed was that along with all the promises made that somehow the weirdness and the coarseness and the vulgarity of Donald Trump's primary campaign drew us in but all that seems to have remained since taking office is  "the coarseness and the vulgarity." She added that his tweets enrage her.....which was good to finally hear someone in the conservative movement say. She called the President a "BS'er"....and she said that if the wall were a golf course it would have been built! All in all it was a great forty-five minutes....a waft of intellectual honesty from out of the past.
