Tax Cuts, But Not Tax Reform?
Should the Trump administration succeed in pushing for true tax reform, Democrats will find it very difficult to demonstrate why they are an alternative.
Watch As Stephen Miller Sinks Jim Acosta’s Battleship On Immigration
If politics had a TKO? Miller put on a clinic against CNN’s Jim Acosta, whose moral preening was on full display during this exchange.
Effectively, Acosta — supposedly a journalist and not a columnist — engaged in a tit-for-tat with White House aide Stephen Miller regarding the proposed immigration bill.
Let’s leave aside for a second who is right and who is wrong in this exchange. The difference is here: Acosta hijacked the exchange in order to score political points in an effort to make himself the story, and Miller adroitly (and to his credit) refused to fall into the trap of taking the hit as others at the podium during the Trump administration have done.
Miller fought his way out of the ambush, just like you’re supposed to do.
The entire six minute exchange is worth your time. Regardless as to where you stand on immigration policy or the particulars of this bill (we have our reservations), Acosta’s verbal sparring with Miller was the sort of exchange one expects from a journalist who is there to create the news, not report it.
It is the precise reason why Americans don’t trust the mainstream media, and despite reservations about the Trump presidency, have no stomach for returning to the media-driven Obama-era fawning over every progressive policy as a positive good.
Such are the times, folks.

45,000 Boy Scouts Rave Over President Trump’s Speech
Democrats seem to be apoplectic over President Trump’s remarks to the Boy Scout Jamboree in West Virginia this week — too partisan, too sharp…
…too enthusiastic a response from the Boy Scouts is more like it.
Consider this: 45,000 young men, their parents, and their Scout Leaders all cheered President Trump. They weren’t bothered at all with Trump’s tribute to the Boy Scouts of America, an institution that the political left has hammered hard against by leveraging their sponsors to bend to agendas that frankly have splintered scouting in America.
Boy Scout values are American values. And great Boy Scouts become great, great Americans.
Here’s the line that probably riled the media up more than anything else.
I’m waving to people back there so small I can’t even see them. Man, this is a lot of people. Turn those cameras back there, please. That is so incredible. By the way, what do you think the chances are that this incredible massive crowd, record setting, is going to be shown on television tonight? One percent or zero?
The Boy Scouts? CHEERED.
Agree or disagree with Trump, the institutions that the left has so carefully taken over these last few decades are being systematically exposed by the Trump-style populism.
By the way, just a question, did President Obama ever come to a Jamboree?
That line right there? Was the loudest response from the Boy Scouts themselves — a loud “NO!” from these young men.
So long as the Democrats continue to be tone deaf to realities on the ground, they will continue to be shocked at the reception — and that’s what this was — the Boy Scout Jamboree gave to President Trump. These young men are going to go back home remembering this event, and remembering that they were not alone in their support of the president.
What’s more, these are the future leaders of America. For the media to write an alternative narrative of what actually happened will be remembered by those present.
That the political left still doesn’t understand that progressive policies and the Democrats writ large are by far more unpopular than the president himself? Speaks volumes as to how shallow the left has truly become, especially in the face of Middle America’s response.
