Midknight Review -- new and revised: The Stalinist in our media have lost one of their tiresome arguments: That the White House is in constant turmoil.

If you are a frustrated Trumpster, as I am, here is some good news:

First, for your own peace of mind, you all need to accept this reality: We have an emotional sophomore in our White House with terrible speech habits but a genius mind for political strategies and making speech. This duplicitous reality is something most of us are not used to, unless your dad or granddad happens to be me.

Trump has named General John Kelly as his Chief of Staff. I know you all know this, but maybe not this: John Kelly was the general of the entire Southern Command under Barack Obama, an absolute dufus when it came to waging or managing war. Kelly took orders from Barack. Don't you know there were times he was given an order, followed by a brisk walk back to his office, at which time he slammed the door closed and shouted "X@##@, *" . . . . . . right? My point is this: Kelly is used to dealing with civilians telling him what to do. He deals with it and gets the job done. That is his track record.

I do not believe the General will leave his post in frustration.

And look at what has happened. Bannon is gone (because of Kelly), and, the leaks from the WH have all but stopped. Trump still tweets, but, Shirley-don't-you-know, Kelly had to know the boss was going to continue with the tweets . . . . . it is what Trump does for fun. But did Trump name names in that Phoenix speech? Nope. Trump got as close to violating that restriction as he could, like a sophomore might do, but did not name names . . . . . and the press did not have a fit. Apparently, if you don't name names, you can get away with your comments.

One final point: The fact that Trump went from Reince Priebus to Sean Spicer, to Scaramuccie to General Kelly . . . . each man a stronger personality type than his predecessor. Why didn't Trump say, "Screw it, I don't need a Chief of Staff or communications director?" Why? I say, Trump realized that he needs help so he replaces one strong man with another stronger man until he gets to a General who is used to taking orders from a civilian, and - still - getting the job done. Hats off to Trump for not running away from his reality. Talk about genius . . . . the decision to enlist Kelly is just that. I am keeping my fingers crossed . . . . . all two of them on my right hand.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
