“Death solves all problems. No man, no problem.” Josef Stalin

Nobody puts The Donald in a corner.
Indict him. Impeach him, and his numbers go up. It’s because his supporters know what’s really going on.
It’s the reason he was cheered in an Atlanta black neighborhood on his way to being booked at the Fulton County Jail.
And it’s the reason Joe Biden was booed in Maui.
Americans can smell a rat from a mile away. They know when the playing field isn’t level. And they know the real deal when it is the real deal.
Talking Heads from both sides of the political spectrum relay Trump poll numbers as if they are no big deal. Even though no one else can command numbers like his.
Not Pence at 5 percent. Not Christie at 2 percent. Not Nimarata Nikki Randhawa (that’s Nikki Haley) at 2 percent.
None of them.
But Trump’s popularity isn’t something pundits want to acknowledge. And somehow or other, Fox has now morphed into a sort of CNN/MSNBC type of news outlet, and Republicans have become Democrats.
House Republicans can’t figure out how to impeach an extremely impeachable president.
And Fox, like CNN before them, is embracing presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, the same way CNN embraced crooked lawyer Michael Avenatti.
The Stormy Daniels lawyer and anti-Trump Avenatti appeared on CNN and MSNBC 108 times.
Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper loved him. They thought he should run for president.
Of course, that was before Avenatti was sentenced to 14 years in prison for embezzling millions of dollars from four of his clients.
Oops.
Today Vivek Ramaswamy is a media favorite on Fox. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Not that Rammy isn’t a nice fella’.
But is the Eminem-rapper for real? Is Rammy as good as he wants you to think he is?
A week ago news broke that Ramaswamy had accepted a $90,000 dollar scholarship from “a Soros foundation," Paul Soros, George’s elder brother.
He defended himself by saying that after graduating from Harvard, he “didn’t have the money” to afford Yale Law School.
A problem a lot of us have faced.
“And to be perfectly honest with you,” he added glibly, “I would have had to be a fool to turn down that scholarship at the age of 24.”
Unfortunately, none of that is true.
Ramaswamy was already a millionaire at that time. By the time he attended Yale, he was already wealthy from his involvement in finance, pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
In 2011, the year he started Yale, he reported he made $2.2 million in income. Three years before that, he reported making over $1.1 million as a hedge fund analyst.
Good for him.
Add in that his parents weren’t chopped liver, money-wise. They certainly weren’t cleaning toilets in Grand Central Station for a living.
His dad was an engineer and patent attorney for General Electric. His mom was a geriatric psychiatrist. They probably could have loaned him a few bucks.
If any of this sounds similar to what that silver-tongued devil, Joe Biden cranks out, you might be right.
We know George Soros loves to buy U.S. prosecutors. And politicians. I don’t know if it runs in the family. Ramaswamy says it doesn't.
And when Fox’s Laura Ingraham interviewed Ramaswamy about his pharmaceutical company, Ramaswamy said he knew more about China than the other candidates, because his company, when he was CEO, had done business in China.
“You made a lot of money in China,” Ingraham observed. But Ramaswamy pooh-poohed that, and said he made more money in the U.S.
Tomato, tomatah. Soros and China. Haven’t we heard this line of baloney before?
But Trump likes the guy. And the feeling is mutual. They like each other. So, what do I know.
Maybe I’m just suspicious by nature. Or maybe I’m remembering James Comey.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots. Pray for our nation.
