The Names They Call Themselves
*Fascist* and *Nazi* weren’t slurs that were applied to the Italians and Germans by their political or military opponents. That’s what they called themselves.

A striking report in The Wall Street Journal suggests Trump may be moving to marginalize Stephen Miller’s influence.
But Trump appears to think the difficulty can be cured by a few optical tweaks, when the real culprit is a deeper ideological one.
Trump wants to “lower the profile of his mass deportation effort,”
the Journal reveals.
He wants voters to think the targets of these deportations are
“bad guys,”
not noncriminal undocumented residents.

Trump Throws Stephen Miller Under the Bus in Surprise Show of Panic
On the surface, Trump wants less attention paid to mass deportations. Meanwhile, Miller is taking new and hidden steps to wreak havoc in the lives of undocumented children and their families.

The Trump Administration Is Losing The Support Of Local Law Enforcement
The thing with an invasion is that it makes enemies of everyone being invaded,
-- even those who may nominally support the end goal.
Law enforcement officers and officials are no exception,
especially when they see the invading force creating problems they shouldn’t be expected to solve.

We merged it with a People Over Billionai…

Until recently, I resisted using the F-word to describe President Trump.
For one thing, there were too many elements of classical fascism that didn’t seem to fit.
For another, the term has been overused to the point of meaninglessness, especially by left-leaning types who call you a fascist if you oppose abortion or affirmative action.
For yet another, the term is hazily defined, even by its adherents.
From the beginning, fascism has been an incoherent doctrine, and ev…

Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.
