THE United States has led the free world for the best part of a century, producing a record number of truly great world leaders, among whom, it can be confidently predicted, objective future historians will unhesitatingly include President Donald Trump.
THE Reichstag fire, Hitler’s justification for dictatorship, was the greatest tragedy of the 20th century, while Nancy Pelosi used the Capitol riot as the basis for the Republic’s most farcical impeachment.
“A RIOT is the language of the unheard,” said Martin Luther King in an entirely different context. Purloined by the American mainstream media, it was used to justify looting and burning by the far-Left Black Lives Matter movement and Antifa, effectively the paramilitary wing of the Democratic Party.
“A YEAR after coronavirus emerged in Wuhan, China’s Xi declares 2020 a triumph.” The Washington Post thus approvingly headlined the Communist Chinese dictator’s New Year Address to celebrating crowds ignoring social distancing in the streets of Wuhan, the very place from where Xi released a plague onto an unsuspecting world.
WHY would 75 million Americans vote for Donald Trump? Why would 15,000 “extreme American patriots” storm the Capitol building in Washington to prevent the peaceful transfer of presidential power?
HARVARD Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said that a post-presidential impeachment wouldn’t work and goes against the Constitution, after House Democrats voted to impeach the president last week. “It will be unconstitutional, but that probably won’t bother the senators,” Prof Dershowitz told the US’s Fox News on the weekend.
LABOR’s Anthony Albanese has cheered social media’s “silencing” of US President Donald Trump as Australia joins democratic nations worldwide slamming suppression of free speech. The ALP leader told Sydney radio station 2SM that the ban on President Trump’s social media accounts would “help stem online disinformation”.
THE US Congress has overwhelmingly rejected claims of election fraud by certifying Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden as president-elect. The certification comes after a tumultuous day in Washington with the Capitol stormed by protestors, a reported four related deaths and Republican politicians reneging on contesting the 2020 Presidential Election result as promised.
US SENATOR Ted Cruz and 11 other Republican senators announced they would challenge the electoral results, joining dozens of House lawmakers in their bid.
THE free world is looking to the United States with apprehension. Since Churchill handed the mantle to Roosevelt, the US president has been the leader of the free world, its defender against the forces of evil, whether they be Nazi, Communist or terrorist.
