Years After Margaret Thatcher Entered the Good

Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was a legend and a great pal to Ronald Reagan, and she more than earned her title as the “Iron Lady.” In an period when the Soviet Union threatened the world, she stood tall and took no guff, inflicting the Soviet navy newspaper, Red Star, to give her that moniker in 1976. 

It caught.

Great Britain might sure use her strong hand now, seeing as current PM Keir Starmer watches as his sovereign state has confirmed to be a wobbly ally to the United States, allowed itself to be flooded with immigrants who need to change the very essence of British society, and made the notion of free speech a factor of the past.

Our responsibility is to bear in mind and remind. To overlook the past would dishonour all those who fought heroically to resist communism’s evil – it might also place us in hazard of repeating its errors. pic.twitter.com/HW2Dh3q0E0

Her reminiscence is recent in the thoughts of at least one American politician, however: Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy. As we’ve written quite a few instances, his down-home humor is flat-out valuable, and he has a depraved means with a phrase. He didn’t disappoint on Friday in his fitness-related social media post:

Hey X, I’ve somebody I’d such as you to meet! pic.twitter.com/S8Sg1uvW0H

I admit it, I had never pictured Kennedy rocking a bandana.

“Hey X, I have someone I’d like you to meet!” he wrote. And who did he need to introduce you to? Actually, it was a “what,” not a “who,” and it was his elliptical coach, Margaret. I guess you’ll be able to guess who it is named after:

Hey, guys, John Kennedy right here. I’ve received anyone I would really like you to meet. This is Margaret. Margaret is my elliptical coach. I named Margaret after Margaret Thatcher, because both kick butt [and] take names.

You received that proper, John. Thatcher was the first girl to be elected U.Ok. prime minister, and she went on to grow to be the longest-serving PM of the 20^th century (1979–1990). She reshaped the conservative occasion, introduced down inflation and elevated productiveness, gained the Falklands War, and was a strong companion to the United States as we labored together to help deliver down the USSR and end the Cold War.

Kennedy said he had his causes for honoring her in his own particular means:

As you’ll be able to see, Margaret, my elliptical coach, is out right here under my carport in Louisiana, for three causes: primary: Margaret is just too heavy to get in the home. 

Number two: [wife] Becky will not let me deliver Margaret in the home. 

And quantity three: I like to break a good sweat. I keep Margaret under the carport, where I can do it, notably in the summer time. After Margaret kicks my butt, I elevate weights, and there’s Margaret in the background.

He continued:

I wished you to meet Margaret. I just wished you to see how I spend some of my time when I’m not working in the United States Senate. You might not be impressed by Margaret, but I like Margaret.

You are rocking the dadgum crap outta that bandana. I believed you had been representing the seen injurys for a minute.
My favourite Congressman will get road cred!
Tell Margaret I feel she’s cute but evil.

Kennedy completed his message in his back‑porch, humble fashion:

Thanks for listening. My work right here is completed, and I can see myself out.

There is no one like Sen. John Kennedy.
