Our, ahem, “president” trying to negotiate the steps to board Air Force One. Symbolic of his whole, er, presidency…

Have we bottomed out yet? If not, God help us! Because this week has certainly been a low point in our country’s history. And all our enemies, foreign and domestic, know it.

Kicking Sand in America’s Face

We are now the 98-pound weakling on the beach. We are now the laughing-stock–only our failure in Afghanistan isn’t very funny, is it? The world’s punching bag, the world’s spittoon–that’s us.

Did you need a crystal ball to see it coming?

Kicking Sand in Our Faces

Charles Atlas’ ads were in all the comic books when I was a boy. They featured a skinny guy and his girlfriend on the beach, getting sand kicked in their faces by a musclebound bully. “Aw, shut up, you skinny runt!”

Now, in the space of just eight or nine months, America has been transformed from a powerhouse to a skinny runt; and all the bullies on the beach are kicking sand in our faces. Way to go, Joe!

Charles Atlas, America needs you!

We’ve just lost Afghanistan (not that we ever had it). Who’s next? Taiwan? I can just see the National Basketball Assn. rooting for Red China. John Kerry calling Taiwan “the aggressors.” I mean, who’s gonna protect ’em? Mr. Skinny Runt in Washington? Whose general think their main enemy is Climbit Change–or un-woke white people?
