Google the phrase “Trump weariness” or “Trump exhaustion” and dozens of progressive articles pop up suggesting that Trump’s base is worn out by Trump’s antics.  Are Trump supporters then weary?  Are they tired of winning?

The August jobs report “unexpectedly” reminds us that never have so many Americans been at work. The 3.7 percent unemployment rate continues to be the lowest peacetime unemployment figure in 50 years. Black and Hispanic unemployment remain at record lows.

Workers’ wages continue to rise. Talk of recession is belied by low interest, low inflation, low unemployment, and a strong stock market. The result is that millions of Americans enjoy far better lives than they had in 2016.

Yes, that’s really exhausting, isn’t it?

Monaca, Pennsylvania -- All Darrin Kelly wanted for the energy workers in Western Pennsylvania was that the Democrat presidential hopefuls would talk to them before going to war against shale.

That opportunity slipped away when Elizabeth Warren joined Bernie Sanders in calling for a total fracking ban.

"On my first day as president, I will sign an executive order that puts a total moratorium on all new fossil fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands. And I will ban fracking -- everywhere," Warren tweeted on Sept. 6.

"The natural gas industry employs well over 40,000 people just in this region alone," Kelly said. "Countless more indirectly, providing economic opportunity for generations of families and communities that had been hollowed out by the demise of manufacturing and coal in this area."

Donald Trump won Pennsylvania with just over 40,000 votes in 2016.

In the swing state of North Carolina, it was happy-dance time for the beleaguered Republicans.  Two hotly contested congressional races both went solidly into the GOP camp, helping the Republicans in the crazies-run House.

State senator Dan Bishop won in the 9th District, and Greg Murphy won in the 3rd District, and both will now get the opportunity to tell Reps. Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that they are out to lunch.  It was a conservative blowout.

Five things stick out about it now.  You’ll like them all.

18 years later, are we safer? Have we defeated Radical Islamic terrorism and those who sympathize with them, encourage them, fund them and cover up for them?

The short answer is NO.

Not only no, but we now have two terror sympathizers serving in the U.S. Congress as elected officials, using their position to normalize and even stand up for terror-linked people and organizations.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, as recently as few weeks ago, August 25^th, tweeted her support for a chief financier of Al-Shabaab, the U.S.-designated Somali terror group is responsible for carrying out the deadliest terror attack in Somalia's history where almost 600 people were killed just 2 years ago.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the Hamas sympathizer, doesn’t even try to hide or camouflage her loyalty to the terror group and their supporters.

How is this possible?

Four years after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Japanese empire and its Nazi partner had been relegated to the dustbin of history, and America was rebuilding from the ravages of warfare.

Eighteen years after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the United States was in the middle of a long period of peace and prosperity, and was looking confidently into a future that promised to be even better. The contrast with today, the eighteenth anniversary of the jihad bombings of New York and Washington, couldn’t be more stark.

Bernie Sanders and other Democrat presidential candidates have decried America’s “forever wars” and vowed to end them so that more American resources can be devoted to the chimera of climate change, the vastly overestimated “white supremacist” threat, and the deception of “Islamophobia.”

I hate science, evidently, because I’m woke to the manifest truth about what the leftist elite currently calls “climate change."

Like some suckers still do, I once believed that “science” was a rigorous process where you tested theories and revised those theories in response to objective evidence. But in today’s shabby practice, “science” is just a package of self-serving lies buttressing the transnational liberal elite’s preferred narrative.

Our alleged betters hope that labeling their propaganda “science” will science-shame you into silence about what everyone knows is a scam.

Nah. “Climate change” is a hoax. Come arrest me for felony denial.

The climate cult has gotten out of hand.  It now threatens to prevail in politics by convincing the ignorant that the science is settled.

Anybody who has a basic understanding of the science knows that it is not settled.  A number of inconvenient facts seriously undermine the idea that catastrophic global warming caused by humans is about to overwhelm us.  Here are three of them:

1. Emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere are causing far less heating than the climate models have been predicting.
2. There is no scientifically reputable method for measuring the human contribution to carbon dioxide emissions relative to emissions from natural sources.
3. Measured sea level rise in recent decades is insufficient to account for the alarmist forecasts about the amount of rise by the end of the century.

As long as the general public is unaware of realities such as these, the cultists will continue to proselytize using emotional appeals about saving the world and moralistic shaming of any who disagree.

“Socialist!” is no longer a McCarthyite slur.

Rather, the fresh celebrity “Squad” of newly elected identity-politics congresswomen – Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib –  often either claim to be socialists or embrace socialist ideas.

A recent Harris poll showed that about half of so-called millennials would like to live in a socialist country.

Here are the ingredients for a culture that emphasizes the self, blames others for a sense of personal failure, and wants instant social justice and for money to grow on trees.

A disgraceful end for “deep state” actors and an implosion of the Democrat Party’s 2020 nominee are both very real possibilities.

It is now clearer than ever that the whole Trump-Russia collusion argument is such a monstrous hoax that it has been hard for the public to take it on board.

Of course, the assimilation of what has happened has been made more complicated by the extremely agitated political ambiance of the Trump era.

But the stark contrast in policy and personality terms between the president and the Democrats, and the bellicosity of the president himself, which has been essential for him to get through the unprecedented effort to undermine him illegally, do not in themselves explain the very long fuse that is burning with excruciating slowness toward the powder keg of explicit revelation of Democrat law-breaking.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, public opinion polls may have reflected, however faintly, some generalization of public opinion.  For a multitude of reasons, that is no longer true.

Take the Quinnipiac poll results that whatever is left of Joe Biden would beat Trump 54 percent to 38 percent in a general election, and the Economist’s poll number asserting that 55 percent of the public thinks the country is headed in the wrong direction.  It is a certainty that none of those numbers reflects reality.

So, discarding the meaningless political polls, I went to the most accurate opinion poll I am aware of for my pre-quadrennial presidential forecast: the Washington County Agricultural Fair in Pennsylvania (the county is southwest of Pittsburgh bordering Ohio and the northern tip of West Virginia).

Here you can see with your own eyes the Trump landslide coming in 2020.
