Tea at Trianon: Trump Warns U.S. Economy Will Face ‘1929 Depression’ If Kamala Wins

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Trump Warns U.S. Economy Will Face ‘1929 Depression’ If Kamala Wins

From The Daily Wire:

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the presidential election this fall the U.S. will face the worst economic crisis in nearly a hundred years. Trump made the remarks during a town hall event with Fox News’ Sean Hannity in Pennsylvania.
“I gave you the biggest tax cuts in the history of our country,” Trump said. “If you let the Trump tax cuts expire, which she wants to do, she wants to terminate them. If you do that, you will suffer the biggest tax increase in history. There’s never been a tax increase like it, on top of which she wants to add a lot of tax.” Trump highlighted Harris’ plans to implement price control policies to stop inflation, which critics say she helped spark by casting the tie-breaking vote in the U.S. Senate to pass the American Rescue Plan.

"What is to be done when tens of millions of Americans believe that 600,000 abortions a year are not enough and that a man can be a woman?" From Dr. Gorka:

The great Rush Limbaugh used to call them “low-information voters,” the tens of millions of Americans who believe the mainstream media and who aren’t engaged politically. For them, if they do think about politics, it’s at the level of a meme, the conventional wisdom that “Republicans are greedy and Democrats care.” On Election Day, their decision is based not on the Truth but on how much they drank in the disinformation of the Establishment. Today, matters are much worse.
Today, we are not politically divided based on our attitude to simple concepts, such as whether or not government should “do more,” or whether the liberties of the individual should come first. Today, one of the nation’s parties has utter disdain for the Constitution and is supported by voters who act more like cultists than autonomous adults. The Democrat Convention in Chicago is Exhibit A.
From the Planned Parenthood Taco-truck providing free abortions to the 20-foot high inflatable IUD and the platforming of those suffering from transgender body dysphoria, this perverse circus would be unrecognizable to any Democrat of JFK, or even Bill Clinton’s era. (Read more.)

Meanwhile, does the Secret Service have no shame? From Right Flank:

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley recently broke the news that President Trump’s Secret Service detail assigned to protect him in Butler, Pennsylvania was woefully undertrained. The agents tasked with protecting the former president were given a mere two hours of training. The worst part is the training occurred online. If Trump’s security detail were provided with comprehensive training, he probably wouldn’t have been shot during his speech in Butler. It appears agents were intentionally undertrained to put Trump in danger. (Read more.)
