I’ll get this over with quickly.  I have had it up to my eyeballs with the Coronavirus Scare.  Clear-thinking wags are calling it A Pandemic of Stupidity.

The third most-popular imported beer in the US is Corona (after Guinness and Heineken).  A survey was just taken showing 38% of beer-drinking Americans across the country now refuse to drink Corona beer.  Corona beer = Corona virus, evidently.  That’s retarded.

Those Corona drinkers afraid to drink their beer have got be Democrats.  Trump-supporters never go Full Retard.  Hilariously full Dem retardation was on glorious display on Super Tuesday (3/03).  They now have a choice between two near-octogenarian white guys – Bernie the Bolshevik millionaire, and Dementia Joe, whose gargantuan corruption is on a par with his gaffe-tastic senility.

Which brings us to the apotheosis of Going Full Retard when, at a Pro-Abortion Rally in front of the Supreme Court on Wednesday (3/04), Dem Senator Chuckie Schumer actually physically threatened two Supreme Court Justices, Neil Gorsuch and Bret Kavanaugh.

These are the POTUS tweets this morning (2/28).  TTPers got a heads-up on Tuesday (2/25) with The Left’s Hoax of Paranoia.

Since then, it becomes more obvious by the day that the Leftist “Mainstream” Media is far more dangerous to humanity than this latest flu virus.  And it is more than that.  The current crisis is making it frighteningly clear how we are in a true Manichean struggle between Light and Dark, moral decency and moral evil.

We’ll focus on what went on this week of note in the US later.  Of far more import is what’s going on in Chicom China.

Google these words – coronavirus collapse communist china – and as of this morning (2/21) you’ll get 539,000 hits.  There are predictions galore of the COVID-19 virus precipitating the end of Communist rule in China, along with every conspiracy theory human imagination can devise.

Then there are voices of reasoned caution, like Princeton Professor Rory Truax, observing on Monday (2/17) in The Atlantic that China’s Chernobyl Never Seems to Arise.

At this point, it looks to be increasingly likely that there will be no worldwide pandemic.  The world is not in danger here.  China, on the other hand, is screwed, and in more ways than one.

Welcome to the Valentine’s Day HFR!

Today is for celebrating the love and friendship that bless our lives.  A day for feeling an infinite gratitude for having love in our hearts and being fortunate enough to have it returned.

Let’s hope that on this day, Democrats and their media poodles will take a break from their TDS, and have moments of happy fulfillment with friends and those they love.  It’s a tragedy – for them as much as for the rest of us – that they will quickly return to their world of hate and rage tomorrow.

You’d think that after the most humiliatingly disastrous week of recent years – last week – they might engage in soul-searching, asking themselves what lessons they need to learn.  But of course they didn’t, doubling down on their TDS instead.

Last Sunday, the palindromic 02-02-2020, was not only the Super Bowl but Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney PA .  A record crowd of 40,000 was in attendance to see if Punxsutawney Phil, the world’s most famous groundhog, would see his shadow or not upon emerging from his burrow.

His shadow portends six more weeks of winter, no shadow an early spring – so goes the legend which is now just plain fun.  And all of us have been having just plain fun all week long, with Punxsutawney Trump portending an early spring for America all the way to January 2025.

We have TTPer Apache Jim to thank for letting us know on the Forum about the great Varvel ‘toon above.

As we all know and enjoy, the Democrat Party went Total FUBAR in Iowa.  The GOP by glaring contrast went smooth as silk.  The Dems have set such a new standard of Fubarness that every wag in the country has a joke about how the Dems want to micromanage everyone’s life in America and can’t run a caucus in Iowa.

“Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.”  -- Albert Einstein, 1940

No day is more appropriate than today – January 31, 2020 – to reflect on these words of transcendent wisdom of Einstein’s.  For what words could more presciently apply to President Donald Trump and those mediocre minds so suffused with deranged hate for him?

Today, their attempt to impeach and remove him from the presidency ends – but their derangement will not. It will continue unabated, and it will be their Living Hell.  They will go to their political graves with it and because of it this November Third.

We are living in very strange times.  We are entering the fourth year of one of America’s most successful presidencies in history regarding our economy, national security, and foreign policy – and one of our two major political parties is engaged in a masochistic spasm of self-destruction over it.

I just got back home after being on a boat with no internet for almost the last two weeks.  A small group of TTPers were with me and Rebel, and the last island we visited is the nicest in the Caribbean, Antigua[1].

As we were onshore for breakfast, a couple sat down at a nearby table.  I instantly walked over to them as the man was wearing a bright red MAGA hat.  “I love your hat!” I announced to him with a big smile.  They both beamed and introduced themselves, Bob and Sharon from Pittsburgh.

“I wear my MAGA hat everywhere,” Bob said, “all over the US and wherever we travel like West Africa, Europe, South America, here in the Caribbean.  People are always coming up to me just like you to tell me my hat is cool – even in Seattle!  Only a handful – literally a handful – have expressed anger.  It’s Fake News that Trump is unpopular – I directly experience that every day.”

This week, the DOW reached its umpteenth best week ever under the Trump Presidency.  The mirror image is this week the Dems having their umpteenth worst week ever under the Pelosi Speakership.

What a way to start 2020!!  A gigantic shock-and-awe Win-Win for America and the World, Lose-Lose for the America-haters of Iran and the Democrat Party.  Can’t say that POTUS didn’t give them a heads-up:

Here’s the runup.  Welcome to the fabulous first HFR of the year.

Welcome to not only the last HFR of the year, but the last HFR of the decade.  Goodbye to the twenty-tens, hello to the twenty-twenties.

At the start of 2010, we still had seven more interminable years to suffer through of the Hate America Presidency of the execrable man I called Zero.  Because O=Zero.  (Written in June 2008, it went so viral that Snopes had to verify as True that I wrote it.)

Those years and that presidency seem a distant memory today.  OBE (Overtaken By Events) on steroids.

This morning’s (12/20) banner front page headline:  TRUMP HAS NOT BEEN IMPEACHED!

Okay, the Fox News headline was actually “Trump Has Not Been Impeached YET.”  As the House Dems’ own impeachment witness, Harvard law professor Noah Feldman, writes, “Trump isn’t impeached until the House tells the Senate.  According to the Constitution, impeachment is a process, not a (House) vote.”

Which means McConnell holds the high cards, while House Swamp Mistress and her Whip with the room temperature IQ (who thinks it’s cool to not send the articles to the Senate at all) are holding a pair of deuces.

The funniest observation of the Dem Peach Mint Vote Clown Show had to be Tucker’s guest Sean Davis last night (12/19):  “It’s been such a debacle it’s like watching a bunch of monkeys trying to hump a doorknob.”   Broke Tucker up. Here we go!

What an unlucky Friday the 13th today is for Leftards on both sides of the Atlantic.

Massive is an understatement to describe the extent of BoJo’s Conservative Party win.  The final results came in early this morning – of Parliament’s 650 seats, 365 went to BoJo for a gain of 66 and huge outright majority, Labor lost 42 for a paltry 203 seats and their worst election since 1935, and other parties reduced to insignificance.

And it wasn’t just the numbers.  This morning’s Daily Mail reports on The Rout of the Remainers – of the 24 Conservative or “Tory” MPs who voted against Brexit (and thus to Remain in the EU), 21 lost their seats, and to competing pro-Brexit Tories running against them.  Ouch.

Leave it to Piers Morgan to cut to the chase for us.  How’s this for a headline?

Boris Johnson's Triumph Proves Democracy-Denying Radical Socialists Backed by Self-Righteous Celebrities on Twitter Are Electoral Poison – and If Democrats Fall for the Same Delusion, Trump Will Decimate Them in 2020

This has been a funny week, the funniest of the year – but as Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent in Stan Freberg’s Time for Beany (Albert Einstein’s favorite tv show) would always ask:  “Funny peculiar or funny haha?”

The answer is Yes – because it’s both in spades.  How weird a funny-peculiar/funny-haha combo can you get when a bottomlessly corrupt Democrat Party impeaches a Republican President on an invented fake-news incident in Ukraine as an attempt to cover up its main presidential candidate being up to his eyeballs in actual Ukraine corruption?

Especially when that candidate tops all others in obnoxious creepy weirdness.  This clip from a talk he gave in Delaware in 2017 suddenly went viral this week:

Has there ever been a POTUS with a greater sense of humor than 45?  A POTUS that can set his enemies’ hair on fire with such effortless ease?

While the Libtard Media was either baffled, like The Guardian, or so puerile they took it seriously, like HuffPo, once again being taken for a ride by the King of Trolls, the instantly-legendary tweet above made Trump the hero of Hong Kong freedom fighters.

Vast thousands marched on the streets of Hong Kong last night, chanting “Fight for Freedom – Stand with Hong Kong,” as they carried Rocky Trump posters:

Hong Kong November 28, 2019

That’s just for starters.  It’s been a great week all around – here we go.

Team Trump just started offering the Bull-Schiff T-shirt a few days ago and they’re selling like hotcakes.  Other best-sellers are:

This is light years away from Romney’s and the Bushes’ Establishment GOP.  This is straight up in-your-face.  Notice to Hate America Dems, constantly outraged Lefties, RINO squishes – you all are invited to be the recipient of self-induced unlawful carnal knowledge.

When you absolutely positively need a strategy to combat anti-Trump insanity, this is it – a pure expression of The Donald’s greatest secret.

I’m going to let that cat of the bag here – despite the world’s best response to someone bugging you to tell them a secret.  “Can you keep a secret?” you ask them, to which they nod with excited anticipation, “Yeah, yeah!” – and all you say is, “So can I.”

So here it is, Trump’s greatest secret, his greatest key to success:

Once you pick yourself off the floor from laughing too hard from this, realize that every member of the cabal of DC Dem Dirtbags – Schiff, Brennan, Comey, MCabe et al – are asking themselves the same question.

It is no accident, comrades, that POTUS retweeted the Daily Wire’s joke photoshop of him presenting the MOH to Conan the Hero Dog:

Proving yet again that POTUS is The Master at triggering Demtard/Mediatard outrage which every normal person sees as humorless idiocy.  Here we go….

Whatever possessed Mittens to get himself elected US Senator from Utah in 2018?  What was he trying to accomplish?  Whatever it was, we’re talking Epic Fail.  He’s never going to recover from being a complete laughingstock forever named Pierre Delecto.

His nom de twitter so perfectly fits the spineless squish he became in the Senate pathetically nipping ineffectively at Trump’s ankles.  Okay, not became but confirming what we already knew he was.  Time to retire to spend more time with your family, Pierre – you’re not going to want to spend four more years being a Senate joke.

Actually, there is a way you can rehabilitate yourself – it’s the only way, for real, no kidding.  Grow a pair, swallow your hurt pride, and become Trump’s Senate champion.

There’s only one issue for the 2020 election:  Life or Death for America.  If Trump wins, America lives.  If a Dem wins, America dies.  Period.  This is not complicated.  Choose life for America, Mitt.  Become the Senate champion for POTUS’ reelection on those grounds.  You’ll be amazed how Pierre Delecto will soon be forgotten.

Here we go for another fabulous HFR.

Last night (10/17), the President held a massive Keep America Great 2020 rally in Dallas.  The American Airlines Center was packed to its 20,000 seat capacity – as you can see above – with a huge overflow of many thousands more watching on huge screens outside.

No Dem candidate has a ghost of a chance competing with this – for it’s not simply the gargantuan size of the crowds at his rallies but the crowds’ overwhelming excitement and enthusiasm.  And as always, Trump never disappoints them, with his stirring pro-America message that brings them roaringly to their feet time and again.

The entire 90-minute video is here, while the transcript is here.

Every presidential election in modern memory is claimed to be “the most important election of our lives.”  This one in 2020 really is.  POTUS was precisely correct when he said last night:

Note:  HFR Update -- Two explosive must-reads on the Whistleblower Fake News hysteria that came in after HFR posted last night are now provided.

I’m confident you managed to avoid watching the Dems’ circular firing squad last night (9/12), so Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale was kind enough to sum it up for you:

The highlight of the whole affair was POTUS trolling it by Team Trump flying a huge banner over Houston that you see above.  It’s absolutely true, of course.  Okay, we’re off on a MAGA HFR!

It’s great to be back in the HFR saddle again.  I am so appreciative of Jack Kelly and Mike Ryan being so capably in my stead for the last three weeks.

What has really blown me away, however, is the reaction of TTPers on the Forum to Mike Ryan’s HFR last Friday (8/30).  It should blow you away too if you haven’t yet immersed yourself in it.

Frankly, it is simply astounding.  The comments of your fellow TTPers are so thought-provoking, incisive, informative, rationally conservative, and stone-cold brilliant that you will simply not find their intellectual equal elsewhere on the Internet.

I implore you to take the time to read them and judge for yourself.  There couldn’t be a better example of the unequaled value of To The Point membership.

One example would be the Forum comment of Skye that’s particularly germane to what is the main news story of this week.

This is not going to be a normal HFR.  For this has not been a normal week.  It has been a culmination.  The longer you have been a TTPer, the more you understand what is going on.

And almost no one else does.  Who among the vast multitudes of media pundits, twitterati, Hollywood celebs, academics, or politicians of either party grasps that what we are witnessing is the wages of auto-racism?

We are drowning in countless examples of white auto-racism this week.  To pluck out two at random…

You read Michael Goodwin yesterday (7/25) describe how Mueller Disaster Dooms Dems’ Impeachment Hopes, and can read today (7/25) Jack Kelly musing on the weirdness of Mueller Puzzles.

Yes, it’s fun to gloat over a defeat of bad guys trying to do you harm so enjoy the moment – but the President made it clear just how serious the moment is on Hannity last night (7/25).

“This should never happen to another president of the United States again. This is an absolute catastrophe for our country… This was treason. This was high crimes. This was everything as bad a definition as you want to come up with. This should never be allowed to happen to our country again.”

Here we go……

NY Post Cover July 4, 2019

Welcome to the Fourth of July HFR!

It’s America’s Birthday, when the most noble document in human history was ratified and made public, the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

The word Aristotle would use for “noble” above is kalon.  Often translated as noble and honorable, or badly mistranslated as beautiful in the sheer physical sense, kalon for Aristotle is a term of morality.  The kalon is the morally noble, morally honorable, morally admirable – thus it is the morally beautiful.

We don’t have a word for this in English, and may be elusive to grasp for it expresses a philosophical aesthetics – not in the crude popular sense of that term as subjective sentiment regarding art or music, but elegantly embodying an objective moral truth.

Thus when we refer to “America the Beautiful,” we mean something vastly more than its physical beauty like amber waves of grain and purple mountain majesties.  We mean America the Kalon, America the Morally Beautiful.

And that is because of the moral beauty of our country’s founding principles stated in our Declaration of Independence.  Its essence is expressed in the second sentence, the most magnificent statement of a moral ideal in human history:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Note it states an ideal towards which it is America’s moral duty to strive.  Since humans at any time are imperfect, it is irrelevant that the ideal’s authors were imperfect in our eyes now, such as some owned slaves who were not granted these rights.

It is highly likely, for example, that a future generation of Americans will condemn ours today for allowing the unforgiveable immorality of infanticide, of mothers murdering their own children fully capable of surviving out of their wombs.  Perhaps they will demand any statues or memorials to our pro-abortion politicians be torn down.

Further, for however much America has not lived up to its moral ideals in the 243 years since 1776, it has nonetheless lived up to them to a greater degree than any other nation on earth.

The perfect must not be the enemy of the good, we must not be compared to some political heaven but to other societies here on earth.  Where else are people freer to control their own lives, granted more liberty, or capable of pursuing their own happiness?

Let its critics carp.  The fact remains that America for all its faults and flaws is still morally beautiful, deserving of our love and admiration.
