Some very good responses to Peggy Noonan’s editorial of 12/29/2018, where she tried to encourage “Trump insiders” to “speak up – on the record”. ======= Peggy Noonan asks “Trump insiders” to speak candidly about how the administration conducts the people’s business (“Trump Insiders, Come Out of the Shadows,” Declarations, Dec. 29).

January 9 | Posted by mrossol | American Thought, Noonan, Republican(s), The Right, TrumpCalling Alabama Women
November 19 | Posted by mrossol | American Thought, Noonan, Republican(s), Western CivilizationShe always makes me think. ==== WSJ 11/18/2017 Peggy Noonan Alabama has its back up, or at least its Republicans and conservatives do, and it’s understandable.
