If history is written in an unbiased fashion (and that depends on who is writing it), Donald Trump will have to go down as one of the most effective and successful presidents we have ever had. Russia took Crimea under the Obama Administration and Russia is trying to take Ukraine under the Biden Administration. In between and under the Trump Administration, generally speaking, the world was at peace. Russia and North Korea were boxed in. The terrorist states in the Middle East were being isolated and turned upon by their neighbors. The Abraham Accords were accomplished and seemed to hold tremendous promise for the future. Our European allies did not particularly like Trump, but they were moving towards a strengthened and more robust NATO. The USA was energy independent, people were working, feeling good about their jobs and their prospects, and our southern border was well under control. Quite simply, there were a lot of good things accomplished and going on under President Donald Trump.
Unfortunately,
Donald Trump never matured and grew in office.
He was elected in large part due to his unorthodox and outsider approach
to politics and that served him well in many pursuits; but as time passed, his
childish ways and egotistical bluster became very tiring. Even worse, the hatred held for him by the
Democrat Party continued to fester and he seemed to relish feeding their
beast. I will always believe that Donald
Trump was viewed by many Democrats as the opportunity to get even with the
Republicans for their treatment of Bill Clinton. Unfortunately, once that debt was settled,
they kept digging. They have refused to
put the shovel down. The worst in
Donald Trump has brought out the worst in the Democrat Party. In my
opinion, it has also brought out the worst in many Republicans.
Hatred
and bitterness breeds more hatred and bitterness. And once that cycle is well under way, it is
extremely difficult to wind it down. It
is nigh on impossible to end it without incurring some irreparable damage along
the way. We are taking on that damage as
a nation today. For the sake of our
country, the best thing for all involved is for Donald Trump and Joe Biden to BOTH ride off into the sunset and enjoy
what golden years might remain for them.
Like-minded folks will polish up the accomplishments of both and
continue to criticize the many faults found in both. But there can be little doubt that it is in
America’s interest to put the current chapter of partisan political poison in
the rear view mirror with this next election cycle and for both national
parties to seek new leadership and a new, more responsible, perhaps even civil
approach to governing.
Moving
on……. The continuing revelations from the “Twitter Files” are demonstrating to the American people how power
and ambition have thoroughly corrupted our government and given rogue
ideologues, politicians, and judges the opportunities to trample on our
constitutional rights and liberties.
I don’t care what your political affiliation is…if you are not
infuriated by the Deep State’s efforts to control media discourse through
censorship and misinformation, then you are undoubtedly partisan beyond
redemption. If this rampant and
cancerous abuse of power is not remedied, our nation will never be the same and
the loss of innocence it will entail will leave us as but a shadow of the ideals
penned by our founders.

One of the areas where this
corruption worked its menace was in the way our nation, our government, our
culture, and our society reacted to the covid pandemic. Once again, if history is fair and honest,
there should be a lot of people receiving apologies and a lot of people being
shamed by the pure hypocrisy, power-tripping autocracy, and plain stupid
actions taken under the guise of public
safety. I will always believe that
those who will pay the greatest price of all are our children through their
loss of education and natural socialization.
That loss can never be recovered.

The events of January 6, 2021 at our
nation’s Capitol blighted our country. The refusal of Donald Trump to choose the
path of higher wisdom and concede defeat…even
though there were clearly irregularities, illegalities, and inexcusable high
jinks involved in his loss…resulted in a riot that again demonstrated how
his worst could bring out the worst in his others. Speaker Pelosi allowed her hatred for Trump
to override her good judgment by removing legitimate Republican representation
on the January 6 Congressional Committee and thus rendering it a partisan
circus. Tucker Carlson of Fox News is
now exposing that circus through his broadcast of heretofore unseen tapes of
the unrest. It is fair to say that Carlson’s
presentation is as much of a circus as was the Jan 6 hearings; but BOTH
circuses could have been prevented by Pelosi. A fair and balanced bipartisan
approach to examining the details of that day would have served our government
well; but that did not and will not now occur.
The water in the well has been poisoned.
A Congressional Democrat panel with
two token RINOs, who also happened to be avowed Trump-haters…one a lame duck and the other a lame brain…were
aided by the Deep State, high tech, and the liberal mainstream media in weaving
a well-crafted and deceptive version of that day’s events for the American
public. A
relatively-small portion of the protesting crowd behaved in an irresponsible and
illegal fashion, staining the entire event for those who participated peacefully
and in good faith. The orchestrated lie
and the judicial over-reach that followed are shameful episodes. The Democrat-sponsored, over-the-top
orchestration of this event and the hyperbole that surrounded it is
disgusting. The fact that our Congress
botched their one chance to address it in a civil, effective, and bipartisan
fashion is inexcusable.

A strong argument can be made that
the biggest victims of the January 6 event were the peaceful protestors who
were targeted by the Department of Justice and hammered with judicial
indignation.
Compare the treatment of these folks with the violent protestors who hit
the streets following the George Floyd incident and the Black Lives Matter
rallies. There is a double standard of
justice in this nation and it does not only measure out on a “rich or poor” basis. It is also reflected in a “liberal or conservative” basis.

I will nominate another candidate
for the Trump/Biden ride into the sunset; that would be Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell.
McConnell is my home state’s senior Senator and even though I have
oftentimes been critical of his actions, I have steadfastly defended his
accomplishments during the Trump Administration of both placing conservative
judges on the bench and keeping Merrick Garland off of it. The beneficial value of these actions to our
nation is incalculable and will last for generations to come. But it time to turn over Senate leadership to
new hands: https://thefederalist.com/2023/03/08/dear-mitch-mcconnell-you-were-not-elected-to-do-the-bidding-of-chuck-schumer-and-cnn/
I will continue to feature a focus in
my writings on national education; it might be the single, most important issue
of the day. Consider
these stories…

Donald Trump’s booming national
economy was derailed by the covid epidemic.
Standing for re-election, he had addressed the fiscal emergencies hurled
upon us by the plague and we were poised to pick up where we had left off…pre-pandemic. President Joe Biden has destroyed all of
that. His liberal
fiscal madness of tax and spend has
ruined our national economic health and is plunging our country into a deep
fiscal hole. The most alarming aspect of his monetary clown show is the fact that he
and his Administration are oblivious to the detrimental effects his policies
are wreaking upon the citizenry. His
recently-proposed federal budget is a perfect example of his Alice in Wonderland approach to federal
spending. If you have any doubts
whatsoever about the Democrat Party’s fiscal policy, simply examine Biden’s
budget proposal. It is all right there
for your consideration. Here is an
interesting mental exercise: What if the
House had remained in Democrat hands…and this budget would have been
approved…lock, stock, and barrel????

Here are a few articles regarding
the continuing follies of the Biden Administration. It is so sad to acknowledge that there are
nearly two more years of this foolishness to come.

With
Biden and the Democrats, everything is about race. But that’s just talk. What does the record

their fantasies, our energy industry is being dismantled: https://amgreatness.com/2023/03/09/renewables-arent-renewable/
You
know…Biden will probably end up appointing this
guy to some federal position of power and influence. He would fit right in: https://hotair.com/david-strom/2023/03/08/who-knew-ken-burns-is-an-idiot-n535583
We get the government we
deserve. Elections matter. Every…single…vote…counts. The consequences of election 2020 have thrown
our nation into turmoil. The
consequences of election 2022 have somewhat mitigated that turmoil. Where
do we go from here?
