Fabulous address by Trump to both houses of Congress last night. It kept me up beyond my monkish bedtime. So I got up 'late' this morning at two a.m. <\/span><\/p>\n

How good was it? The boneheads of The Bulwark<\/a> are going bonkers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Can I say anything bad about it? Well, our boy spoke of two genders instead of two sexes. And he needs to learn  that the correct phrase is 'rare earth minerals,' not 'rare earths.'<\/span><\/p>\n

Roger Kimball<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Many commentators have said that Trump 2.0 has accomplished more in six weeks than other administrations accomplished in four, six or even eight years. It is true.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight, the president provided a detailed inventory of his initiatives. Within hours of taking office, he designated illegal immigration a national emergency. Trump noted that Democrats kept saying that new legislation was needed to fix the border. But in fact, he said, \u201call we really needed was a new president.\u201d Trump declared war on inflation and took steps to undermine the deep state and its racist DEI initiatives, thus restoring merit and race- and colorblind justice to their proper place in the economy of American values. He also took a page from the Book of Genesis, and articulated the non-woke, matter-of-fact truth that there are only two sexes: male and female. The crowd (but not the Democrats) cheered at that bit of common sense. <\/span><\/p>\n

The president presented a bracing tour d\u2019horizon<\/em> in his opening sally. He ordered federal workers back to work: \u201cThey will either show up for work, in person, or be removed from their job.\u201d As I write, the Trump administration is ending \u201cweaponized government,\u201d restoring free speech, underwriting English as the official language of the United States and pursuing a policy of \u201cdrill, baby, drill\u201d to exploit America\u2019s energy resources.<\/span><\/p>\n
