[NYPOST] “When your old-ass parent is like, ‘I don’t know how to send an iMessage,’ and you’re just like, ‘Give me the fucking phone and let me handle it.’ Sadly, that’s what we have to do with our government. Our parents don’t know how to use a f–king democracy, so we have to.” As everyone knows, you're born wise, and as you age you get progressively dumber, eventually becoming a parent. Policy-making should be entrusted to the acne and braces set and the older generation should stick to cleaning the rooms of their offspring.

History repeating? Missing are the uniforms. The Hitler-Jugend (HJ) and Bund deutscher Arbeiterjugend (League of German Worker Youth) were indoctrinated to left's National Socialist's propaganda. Later, another odious group within the HJ appeared, the HJ-Streifendienst (Junior Gestapo). These kids often turned in family members for infractions of law and ideology. The young were used by the regime. The Nazis were big on gun control and gun confiscation for certain groups such as Jewish people and others considered enemies of the state. There have been reports on the internet about the HJ members aiding in gun control/confiscation--whether or not true I don't know--it is conceivable. The NSs were also big on national registration of firearms. Gun Control in NS Germany. And from the History Place. You know, "It's for the children."

Compare Switzerland's gun crime rate to the UK.
Every thing but the cows have a fire arm in Switzerland and they have little violent crime...and not much muslim nonsense. The UK with stringent gun control is a veritable Chicago...and terrorist paradise. Ever tried to buy a fire arm in France?

Kids being used by a political party and think they are the leaders. I hope the kid grows up to realize how niave and stupid he was during the great Democrat anti-gun themed voter registration drive of 2018.

I have no desire to listen to punk kids who don't even know what type of government we have demanding to be made into slaves. Raises the voting age to 30 for anyone not in the military.
[Breitbart] Democrats are spiking the ball after President Donald Trump accepted a 2018 budget bill which excludes his populist border-wall plan and is stuffed with Washington’s social and economic priorities.
The press secretary for Democratic leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer, used the budget defeat to mock Trump’s campaign promise to his supporters that "You’re going to be sick and tired of winning!"
The tweet likely reflects the Democrats’ eagerness to wide the growing pre-November split between the GOP’s business-first leaders and the party’s populist voters. That split could help the Democrats win sweeping electoral victories ‐ and a majority in the House.
In a relaxed conversation with Capitol Hill reporters on Thursday, Schumer said:
It’s a funny thing. In a certain sense, we’re able to accomplish more in the minority than we were when we had the presidency or even were in the majority ... We don’t have the House, we don’t have the Senate, we don’t have the presidency, but we produced a darn good bill for the priorities we have believed in.
House Minority leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, also gloated, saying her side won because the GOP leadership pushed conservative GOP legislators out of the closed-door talks. According to the Washington Examiner:
"Much of our leverage has sprung from the fact that the Republicans ... they weren’t voting for this bill," Pelosi said. "That gave us leverage in all the negotiations. That gave the middle class a victory."
One result of the bipartisan leadership cooperation was that the bipartisan legislation blocked Trump’s border protection plans, giving him only 33 miles of new fencing to close up more than 1,300 miles of unrestricted border.
However, the bill also includes the priorities of the GOP’s business-first leadership, such as $78 billion in additional defense spending, and a tax-break for grain farmers. The GOP’s business-first wing worked with Democrats to sideline Trump’s border priorities which could reduce the supply of illegal immigrants to GOP-aligned businesses.

I've heard other takes by commentators regarding the Omnibus Bill. Basically, they are saying Trump outslicked the lefties. They make the distinction that the bill is not a budget and Trump is not bound by these spending "suggestions." He can "slow roll" monies to left-leaning organizations should he choose. Moreover, he can use monies for, say, the Army Corp of Engineers to build a wall if he chooses. I dunno if this is correct but if so, it is interesting. The pundits are saying the Obama never really had a budget and he spent money as he chose.
I am glad Trump is supporting the military and trying to rebuild it after 8 or more dry years.
Hope he cleans out enough of the Swamp before it swamps him.
