Trump Raises the Stakes with CNN

Did Trump Goad and Guide the Pipe Bomber?
With their endless charges of racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia America’s elite has let Trump’s “base” know what it thinks of them.

That Other Plot — to Bring Down Trump
Pat Buchanan: If you wish to know why Americans detest politics and hate the “swamp” that has been made of their capital city, follow this story all the way to its inevitable end.

Should Japan and South Korea Go Nuclear?
Pat Buchanan: After this crisis, South Korea and Japan should begin to make the kind of defense effort the U.S. does, and create their own nuclear deterrents. This might get Beijing’s attention, as our pleas for its assistance with North Korea apparently have not.
Hurricane Harvey Brings America Together Like 9/11
Pat Buchanan: Whereas George W. Bush soared to 90 percent approval after 9/11, no such surge in support for Donald Trump appears at hand. Indeed, the sneering and sniping began on his first visit to Texas.
