My goodness, how different this world would feel today if Kamala Harris had been elected president. Instead of Gloom, Despair, and Agony on me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAAKPJEq1Ew , we have Goodbye/Hello https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbh4MC_o-wU .
Goodbye
to what?
So long to the Obamas; please, JUST
LEAVE. Twelve years (Obama/Biden) of your warped philosophy
were more than enough, while your arrogant attempts at rewriting what America
is all about ran their course. So long
to Joe Biden and his Administration full of idiots. He did something I admittedly never thought
would be possible; he replaced Barack Hussein Obama as the worst president in
my lifetime. Good riddance to the
stupid, immoral, illogical, arbitrary, inequitable, racially-biased,
genderly-stupid agenda of the Democrat Party, their allies scattered all across
our society and culture, and their marionette poster boy Joe Biden. These fools made four years seem like four
centuries. So long to Democrat rule in
the U.S. Senate where any problem could apparently be solved by additional
federal spending, any incompetent doofus could be confirmed for a federal
appointment if they were a Democrat, and the obligation of Constitutional
oversight was lost in the nether regions of the anal cavity. Adios to Blinken,
Nod, and the rest of the intellectual clowns who have been running our foreign
policy for the last four years. No
matter what the Trump Administration does, the world is now a safer place with
these clowns gone. Godspeed (hopefully) to our burgeoning and
autocratic federal bureaucracy as it goes on a slimming diet that eliminates
waste, redundancy, and obsessive controlling tendencies that trample the
constitutional rights of U.S. citizens.
Hello
to what? First
and foremost, hello to federal appointees who actually have meaningful life
experience in the areas they are directed to supervise. Bonjourno to an Executive Branch of
government that will not always be correct, but will always be available to
answer questions about what they are doing.
Buenas noches to secure American borders and the reestablishment of legal immigration into our country. Howdy do to a Department of Justice that
seeks to enforce written laws in a fair, equitable, transparent, and
constitutional fashion. Shalom to a new
American foreign policy that speaks plainly and carries a big stick. A policy that recognizes and values those
nations who respect the dignity and rights of their people and strive to be
good neighbors…and one who calls out and deals effectively with those nations
that foster hate, turmoil, repression, and world terrorism of all types. A huge open-arms welcome to an American
economy that recognizes free market dynamics, fosters investment and small
business, rewards hard work with good pay, and is based on the fundamental
principles of meritocracy.
With
an optimistic, yet realistic expectation for the next four years of the Donald
J. Trump Administration, I must admit that for one such as myself who was never
enamored with the Donald to any large extent…I look forward to the immediate future
of our country with high hopes. Perhaps
it will prove to be ephemeral, but there is an undeniable breath of fresh air
blowing across our nation with the expectation that some dark days are behind
us and brighter days are ahead. We can
only hope and pray it is so. Let us
round up the news for the final post of 2024.
Consider
the year that will soon be past us.

How will our government deal with
an increasingly serious issue of elected officials continuing in office far
past their shelf lives and an increasing usurpation of Congressional legislative
authority by the executive branch?
One man chooses to voluntarily step
down from what might arguably be one of the most powerful positions in the
world: https://freebeacon.com/culture/mcconnells-record-is-nothing-to-snort-at/

clinging to the trappings and benefits of elected office while clearly being
incapable of performing elected duties and shirking critical
responsibilities: https://reason.com/2024/12/23/a-decaying-joe-biden-underlines-the-need-for-a-less-powerful-presidency/
Our
American ideal is the best system of government on the planet; but it is not
unlike making sausage. Democracy is
difficult at best and infuriating at worst.
For all the promises and good intentions of incoming legislators and
victorious presidential candidates, the bottom line for fundamental change in
American government is…“do you have the
votes?” It is a far simpler task to
be the minority Party in our government with the role of being chief complainer
and criticizer than it is to be the majority Party in our government and be held
responsible for keeping the lights on.
Trump and his Republican Party now have the opportunity to “walk the walk”.
Until
the Legislative Branch of our government can reestablish the principles of
statesmanship, bipartisanship, principled debate, responsible fiscal policy,
and dedication to the constitutional duties assigned to it…it will be a heavy
lift for Trump or any other future president to significantly alter the
off-line trajectory that our federal government is currently on. We will get the government we deserve. Power corrupts…and absolute power corrupts
absolutely. This will not change.
