To accuse others for one’s own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one’s education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one’s education is complete.

That’s the thing; President Trump essentially invented the Art of Winning, whereas the Democrats have seemingly perfected the Art of Losing over the last decade or so. And, the truly insane thing is that their professional operatives know this, and yet the Dems keep doubling down on losing.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Men and Women, Boys and Girls, Americans and our Allies, this is what the Democrats installed as the “Leader of the Free World.”
Oh, God! Putin’s Coming. Just Run!
Yep! I’m sad and sickened to say it, but the Biden Administration’s response to Putin’s forces attacking Ukraine was to request that Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy evacuate Kyiv and possibly the country.
Happily for the Ukrainian people, they have an actual leader. His response to the Biden Admistration’s cowardice was to tell them that he needed ammo – specifically, anti-tank ammunition – not a ride.
It’s truly disgusting that President Zelenskyy used to be a professional comedian but it’s Biden who the joke.
Well 🙁 As I said, I think Putin is likely to win. Certainly, from the sound of it, there’s nobody with the means to do so outside of Ukraine that’s going to prevent him from doing so.

Modern Trophyism – the perceived need for physical representations of worth or status – within America is a virulent weed that has born foul fruit, as the Liberals’ and Progressives’ response to Mr. Trump being triumphant in the 2016 elections.
This Is What Happens When You Give Children A Trophy For Losing
True, the need or obsessive desire for trophies or any material representation of others’ validation of one’s worth is and always been a bad thing. Sadly however, the intersection of trophyism with the Liberals’ and Progressives’ obsession with equality of results and ensuring that everyone “succeeds” in anything they do irrespective of their merit in that endeavor has resulted in a pernicious, synergistic cycle of personal and social degeneration.
The Millennials’ ongoing, disruptive protests; their riots; their cry-ins; their need for specialized counseling; and their desire for special dispensation from their duties as students or, in all too rare cases, workers in the wake of Mr. Trump defeating Hillary Clinton in the 2016 elections is persuasive evidence of this pathology.
