Good News

Today marks one year since we awoke to the absolutely astonishingly good news that Hillary Clinton had lost the election. Thanks again President Trump.

There has been a lot to cheer about during this last year.

Consumer confidence is at heights not seen since 2000.

US stock markets are at all time highs.

The Supreme Court seat vacated by the death of Justice Scalia has been filled by another reliable conservative, Neal Gorsuch.

ISIS is in the process of being thoroughly destroyed.

We appear to be well on our way to defanging North Korea, one way or another.

There may be some tax reform on the way.

Liberal men, particularly those in, or connected to, Hollywood, have been exposed as the miscreants I have always assumed they were.

Liberal women, particularly those in or connected to Hollywood, have been exposed as the self-righteous dilettantes I have always assumed they were.

They never tired, male or female, of lecturing us about the evils of republican men while allowing a culture of  actual sexual assault to flourish as they remained silent lest their careers be adversely affected by speaking out. The primary by-product of that silence was to expose other young women and men to the predators.

There are other by-products coming from the exposure of the Hollywood cesspool.

Some mythical liberal narratives seem to  have disappeared.

Republican war on women. Anyone?

Campus rape culture. Anyone?

Donald Trump has a potty mouth and said some boorish things. Anyone?

Regarding Hollywood and its inhabitants I have an observation. How can anyone writing, producing or acting in the rot that Hollywood has been producing for years be assumed to have anything remotely resembling ordinary morals. Actors and actresses (why has that word disappeared) happily engage in on screen nudity and sex apparently thinking it very avant-garde to disrobe and perform sex acts for the public. It isn't. It is the simple substitution of exhibitionism for talent.

I realize there are a few high profile actors and actresses who do not engage in such on screen self-abasement but they are few.

Democrats won some elections for a change yesterday. They are celebrating. Allow them their moment of pleasure. They have endured a lot of pain in the last year.

Their paroxysm of glee will be short lived. Retaining the governorship of Virginia is no great accomplishment. It is what should have happened given that the republican candidate was an establishment rhino of long standing running in the Trump era.

They won the governorship of New Jersey proving, with finality, that Chris Christie's political career is, happily, over.

Be of good cheer my friends. All is well.
