Trump Makes the Call

Despite all the risks, both strategically and personally, Trump made the decision to green light the mission.  The courage and patriotism that fueled that choice is admirable and deserves the utmost respect.  It is true leadership.

Why We Have Elections and Why YOUR Vote Counts

At this moment in time, how fortunate is America…and the rest of the planet…to have Donald Trump in the White House rather than Joe Biden?  ‘Nuff said.

 

The world is holding its breath, waiting to see if and when the bomb will fall in Iran.  The decision will clearly be Trump’s and it is impossible to predict how that will turn out.  There is much information that we, the public, are simply not aware of.  We must trust our President.  God be with him as he decides.

There was a time…during the first Trump Administration…when the economy was full of momentum, real wages were rising, there was upward mobility available in all segments of our economy, and the American dream was reviving.  Can that feeling return?

The Progressive Cabal is No Friend to Democracy

Now more than ever….and to any objective observer…the contrast between the Progressive approach to governing and the Conservative approach to governing is crystal clear.  The plain and simple truth is that once Progressive entities (i.e. the Democrat Party) are relegated to minority status, their mantra is to “burn it down”…literally.  They know not how to co-exist; they exist only to rule.

 

Unquestionably, the Conservative causes in our nation (i.e. the Republican Party) engage in an enthusiastic brand of resistance when they are in the minority.  But consider what we witnessed yesterday, Saturday, June 14^th.   In the midst of national unrest over immigration policies and ICE operations, the Progressive elements in America…clearly led by Democrat Party leadership…openly and proudly called for demonstrations that any reasonable person understood would evolve into violent riots.  If there has ever been a perfect example of “pouring gasoline on a fire”, this is it.  Mitch McConnell, as the chief Republican leader during Obama’s presidential reign, said that his chief mission as Republican leader was to prevent the implementation of Obama’s agenda.  He did this through legislative maneuvering and action; a perfect example being the prevention of having Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court of the United States.  This is democratic (small “d”) resistance as it should be. 

 

The death, destruction, and damage to our nation wrought by the ongoing violent demonstrations being financed, encouraged, and supported by Progressives today is a stain that they must openly bear, come to acknowledge, and carefully consider how to reconcile in the months to come.  Once again…a shockingly stark contrast:  Look at the abundance of archived “January 6” video and compare it to what is occurring in Los Angeles and Portland.  Then ask yourself…which one looks like an insurrection? 

 

The Democrat Party’s obsession with all things Trump has advanced to the point where their judgment is clouded and their actions are unmoored from reason.  A perfect example is their orchestration of the “No Kings” protests on the same day that our nation is honoring the 250^th anniversary of the United States Army. If Progressives insist upon their protests and riots, at the very least they should schedule them apart from days that feature a universally-positive message of national pride and celebration.

 

The obsession of the Progressive cabal in America as exhibited through their Trump Derangement Syndrome has evolved into a malignant cancer that is eating away at the very fabric our country…and destroying their own political party.  It’s bald-faced, shameless, and unapologetic pursuit of power, control, and influence has consumed it.  It has perverted our national education system.  It has perverted the mainstream media.  It has perverted our culture.  It has perverted our justice system.  It has perverted our Congress….and it has perverted our Executive Branch of government.  The direction it has taken is impossible to support in any majority sense and if the Democrat Party does not quickly sober up and call it out, it runs the very real risk of becoming irrelevant for years to come.  That is not a good thing for our nation’s future.

 

If we are to accept the “January 6” description put forth by multiple Congressional Democrats and their Progressive universe as “the biggest threat to democracy since Pearl Harbor”….then how should we describe the events we are now witnessing in Los Angeles, Portland, and other Progressive enclaves across America?  Might I suggest “Dante’s Inferno”?  

 

Let’s take a closer look at precisely what is going on with these Los Angeles riots.

While Progressive elements attempt to burn down sections of urban America, Iran is attempting to burn down Israel.  God be with the Israelis as they defend their right to exist against the evil presence of anti-Semitism.

The King of Chaos

When lunacy and madness threaten to reign supreme, I suppose it is rational to accept chaos as the remedy to the insanity.  On balance, there is no doubt that the Trumpian chaos we are experiencing is preferable to the maelstrom we were experiencing under the Biden Administration. 

 

Donald Trump did not accomplish in his first week of office all those things that he promised.  He did not get them done in the first 100 days either.  And while he has clearly stemmed the tide of progressive foolishness in some significant areas, his target list of policy initiatives is obviously a longer and steeper climb than he anticipated.  Nonetheless…America had reached the point of critical mass and something…anything…had to be done to turn our ship of state around. 

 

It’s messy.  It’s loud and annoying.  It’s certainly chaotic.  It is arbitrary and oftentimes uncoordinated.  It pushes…and occasionally exceeds…the limits of applicable law and procedure.  It sometimes empowers individuals who are not qualified to hold the power.  But at the end of the day, the Trump Administration is the medicine we have to swallow to get over the illness cast upon us by the Democrat Party’s Obama/Deep State/Biden Administrations and their widespread cabal of academia, intelligentsia, and juvenile journalism.  The collateral cyclone confusion is alarming, but Trump’s policy instincts have proven to be spot on.  Suck it up, Margaret…it’s going to be one wild ride.

The battle for the educational souls of our children is joined.  There are many fronts to this war, and some of them are right in your back yard.  This is one conflict that cannot be ignored or shoved off to someone else’s solution.  What is going on in YOUR local school system?

Until the Democrat Party gets over its drunken affair with the progressive siren, it will continue to be adrift in the political sea of irrelevance.  At some point, moderate and left-of-center leadership will emerge and begin to once again build a foundation for reasonable opposition to the common sense and right-of-center policies put forth by Trump and the Republican Party.  The Democrat pot is boiling pretty hot right now, but perhaps the temperature is falling.  The big question: Who will step up to restore some semblance of sanity?

Regardless of the stark difference in their policy initiatives, there is one area where both national parties align quite symmetrically; that is in the area of federal spending.  They are both unforgivably irresponsible in their inexcusable avoidance to making hard decisions that could curb the runaway federal spending which threatens the very future of our children.  Whether it be the Democrat philosophy of “tax and spend” or the Republican philosophy of “cut taxes and spend”, both approaches do nothing to quell the headlong rush of our federal debt crisis towards a fiscal Armageddon.  Entitlements must be structurally and significantly reformed.

One of the greatest shames of humankind is the idiotic adulation and support being shoveled onto the evil entity Hamas and the atrocities they routinely commit.  Foreign policy is complicated and hard truths are most often hard to come by; but there must be an acknowledgement in any normal mind that there are no redeeming qualities to Hamas and their quest to annihilate the Jewish people and rule Israel from the “river to the sea”.  Any person who sides with this abomination is morally bankrupt, shallow beyond description, and stupid to the max.
