Peggy Noonan is dead to me. I used to read her regularly. Trump has exposed and destroyed her. Sad the WSJ still publishes her unreadable bullshit. Stand fast Emerald and never let go of your principles or your fire!!
And the WSJ is quickly becoming just as irrelevant as Peggy Noonan. Sad. But it's becoming a predictable trend in the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" media.
One of President Trump’s greatest contributions to this nation is that he has unmasked those who previously masqueraded as “conservatives” when they were in fact anything but conservative and held views antithetical to those of America’s founding fathers. For years we have been duped, but no longer.
Xman I agree. I love how Victor Davis Hansen describes Trump, he's chemotherapy for the cancer. Peggy Noonan doesn't know anything about anybody who doesn't live near 59th and Central Park or the Hamptons. The craziest thing about these people, and I mean bat shit crazy, is that they are still talking about Trump in the middle of this intentional dystopia.
Fred, you’re spot on about these elitist, who live in their own fantasy world, devoid of reality.
One of Trump’s greatest contributions is that he smoked them out, revealing to the American people who they really are and that they are anything but conservatives. Now we know and we’re not forgetting either.
I was a Noonan fan in the early Nineties, because of the way she wrote and spoke about Reagan, and her (deserved) jabs at the duplicitous Bush ‘41 rhetoric and policies.
Then again, I was a George Will fan back then. These two were in the top tier of “sober, mature, we’re almost there!” Republicans who sold books, flourished their vocabularies ... and never accomplished a damn thing. It was left to Trump to actually DO the things these phonies wrote and whines about for years, and they hated him for it.
Trump and MAGA demonstrated that conservative grass roots had been duped for years, and that we had been supporting the Dems by proxy.
As Trump has said many times it is really us they hate which was so well demonstrated in how many Republicans voted for the Red Flag Gun Law which all knew it was aimed at conservatives not criminals.
The title of this article had me a bit concerned (where has Emerald been for the past 6 or seven years?) but then after reading it is clear that you have once again hit the bullseye, this time on Peggy Noonan's true ideological leanings. She was comfortable identifying with the very liberal country club Republicans but showed her true anti-Constitutional bias when Donald Trump challenged the GOP's globalist left-trending status quo. I stopped paying any attention to her upon her first anti-Trump tirade. Haven't looked back. She's a fraud who was finally exposed, despite her flowery speeches created for Ronaldus Magnimus.
I used to find some real nuggets of brilliance in Noonan’s writings, but her TDS has turned her into a democrat. She was always just right of center, but she’s unreadable now.
I had a eureka moment in reading this. In 1992 I voted for Ross Perot. I even went to his Dallas headquarters to help with the campaign. I always said I did it because “read my lips, no new taxes.” But I just realized Bush was the beginning of the uniparty and I subconsciously knew it. At that time I didn’t keep up with politics. I knew just enough to vote. Why did Reagan choose Bush for VP? We’d be a completely different country today if he hadn’t.
Another nugget. Many people probably don’t know/remember that Bush lived in China for more than a year during the Ford presidency. He loved China. I’m sure China’s rise and our capitulation can be traced to his presidency. Wouldn’t surprise me if much of his post-presidential wealth were tied to China too.
Stanley, I'm kinda off the subject here, but I just recently watched again some Reagan speeches from '64 when he was stumping for Goldwater. Glorious speeches, mostly without referring to notes, bigger themes true then and true now, and he was incredibly charismatic. The audiences somehow seemed better too, but that might just be my sentimentality.
Peggy was suffering from advanced TDS even before Trump ran for president. She now has a terminal case of this dementing malady. Why anyone would bother to read what she writes is beyond me. I canceled my WSJ subscription because they keep her on their payroll.
I decided to subscribe to WSJ last Thursday. As soon as I entered the website I saw this article by Msss. Noonan. Next thing I did was unsubscribe. I had to call them yesterday because the unsubscribe did not go through.
WSJ has descended into journalist sewer with the rest of them. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE!!!!!
Think you hit it on the head with Ms Noonan, she's part of the WSJ lap dog posse that dare's not to go against the Biden contingent. Quit the WSJ 2 years ago as I could clearly see they were no longer a valid source of truthful information, only what their owners felt was fit for American consumption. Noonan is a superb writer, I just never agreed with anything she said. As far as Cassidy Hutchinson, has she not committed perjury with her 'testimony'?
Only democrat witnesses can commit perjury and not be charged. Tony Fauci, Adam Schiff, James Comey, James Clapper and there are more I just can not think of all the names. Bottom line Republicans only eat their own never the the other side.
Another hit right out of the 'Park' Emerald! So true. She is so much of the Beltway clique of the George Wills and Sam Donaldsons of the 1980s -- an era long gone by. Those Sunday talk shows would fascinate us once upon a time (for example -- me) back in that era on policy discussions and geopolitical events of the day. Today -- discussion on these topics serves an agenda -- a liberal, destructive, anti-American agenda. In short -- it's garbage. But as you said -- Ms Noonan is one of those that still seek to be that "reach across the aisle" agent to cooperate and work with the other side. And the 'other side,' aka the Demoncrats, are interested only in cooperating and working together with Republicans just as long as it's all done THEIR WAY. No discussion, no debate. And if they don't get their way -- it's rioting, burning, violence -- all in the guise of 'peaceful protests.' Her world and many like her -- has not been touched. She is not affected. And so she goes on living in the Fantasy -- like Marie Antoinette -- until one day, REALITY finally hits. Secrets revealed.
Thank you Emerald for consistently identifying and exposing those who purport to know what America needs but are actively supporting those whose ideals include defeating America from within.

"co-ed coffee-fetcher Cassidy Hutchinson" 😀😀😀

Emerald busted the National Review's mittens and scarf boys, most of whom had been driving me nuts on Special Report's panel as well.

Xman, love it! "We're not forgetting either"
another one exposed for all to see.
George Will and Peggy Noonan might be the 2 Biggest Losers of the Trump Presidency.
Good Riddance !

So well said...thank you.
Noonan hasn’t gone off the deep end; she is, and has always been, a member of the Establishment.
Agreed!

Excellent column. She's the perfect example of a closed mind -- tightly closed.

Great column.
What happened? The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It's the only explanation.
Isn’t this par for the course? She has a reputation for extrapolating the world from her personal experiences.
She’s 71, btw. I would have guessed older.
