If you are tired of professional politicians leveraging their public offices, becoming “multimillionaires many times over,”[1] taxing and regulating the productive classes, redistributing that wealth to favored groups to buy votes, after taking a cut for themselves, then former President Donald J. Trump should be your choice for President on November 5, 2024. Unlike everyone else running for President, Trump is not beholden to anyone. He cannot be bought and is willing to do whatever it takes to “drain the swamp” and “Make America Great Again (MAGA).” Trump does not need eight years. This time around, with his experience and knowledge of the “Deep State,” he’ll get the job done in 2-to-3 years, if not less!
Whereas, Biden and Harris, along with the Democrats in general, have been disastrous for America. Biden’s policies are decimating many of our formerly great cities. They have also made a mess of our foreign policy, propelling us towards World War III. Too many of the Left are antisemitic, anti-Israel, anti-Christian, especially anti-Catholic, and pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian, while 72%, or 3 out of 4, Palestinians support the unconscionable terrorist atrocities perpetrated against the Israelis on October 7, 2023… shameful! As stated by Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz, “Israel is fighting a war not only for its own survival, but for the victory of humanity over barbarity.” “The recent lynching, raping, beheading, and kidnapping of more than fourteen hundred Israelis, including American Jews,” has been supported by far too many Democrats, whether purposeful or through ignorance, is disgusting.
Most Democrats are socialists, which is antithetical to the American ideal of individual freedom, not to mention, unconstitutional! Over the past century, the Constitution has been ignored, when possible, and purposely misinterpreted, aided and abetted by academia and the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Democrats are for “open borders, identity politics, higher taxes, more government regulation, free college tuition, single-payer government-run healthcare, taxpayer-subsidized green energy, rollbacks [and the elimination] of fossil-fuel production, and a European Union-like foreign policy.”[2] After the debacle created by the Biden Administration and the Democrats in less than three years, why would any right-thinking American, who believes in individual freedom, vote Democrat going forward?
What about Nikki Haley? Well... she is supported by several billionaires and several super PACs and is part of the Republican establishment. Even a Democratic donor, Reid Hoffman, donated $250,000 to a pro-Haley super PAC, SFA Fund, Inc. Haley is a hypocrite, unlike Trump, she will be obligated to her wealthy supporters. When she was Governor of South Carolina, she gave 197 acres of county-owned land at no cost to a Chinese company, with direct ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The land was near a U.S. Army training center. Haley also pushed for policies benefiting Boeing, a huge defense contractor, while still Governor. In addition, she has been on the Board of Directors of several large defense contractors, including Boeing, and she certainly appears to be part of the “Military-Industrial Complex,” willing to support Ukraine against Russia, propelling us towards World War III. Finally, if Nikki Haley were to go against the wishes of her billionaire supporters, the “Deep State” would bankrupt her and her family, i.e., she does not have the financial wherewithal to “drain the swamp,” only Trump does!
Wouldn’t Florida Governor Ron DeSantis be a better choice than Trump? DeSantis has similar views as Trump BUT, he thinks it would take two terms or 8-years to “drain the swamp.” Furthermore, like Nikki Haley, DeSantis does not have the business experience and financial resources necessary to destroy the “Deep State,” which instead, would ruin him and his family financially, in the event he tries not to cave to the wishes of his donors.
It was Margaret Thachter, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, who once said of the British government that when the Left takes power, they move the country to the Left and when the Right takes power, they manage the existing government, rather than moving the country back to the Center or to the Right; then the Left gets back into power and they continue to move the country further to the Left. This is exactly what has been happening in the United States. The Democrats continue to move the country to the Left, while the Republicans, when they regain power, just continue to manage the government without any attempt to reverse course away from socialism. Trump was the exception!
After two terms of the Obama-Biden Administration, the Democrats pushed their Leftist or Socialist agenda too far, resulting in the election of Donald J. Trump, a successful businessman, who wanted to “Make America Great Again” for the people of this great country, including his children, grandchildren, and their posterity. Trump got elected because the American people were tired of the career politicians lining their pockets, while taxing and regulating them to the extreme, resulting in the whittling away of constitutionally protected rights, picking winners and losers, and purposely pitting women against men, blacks against whites, and the poor against the rich.
The average age of an Empire is 250 years. In 2026, the Empire of the United States of America will reach the 250-year mark. We have adopted ALL the policies of past Empires shortly before their demise. The Obama-Biden Administration accelerated those destructive polices; Trump stopped the acceleration and started reversing course; then the Biden-Harris Administration reinstated those destructive policies at a hyperbolic rate. Unbeknownst to most people, the individuals running the Biden-Harris Administration are the same individuals that worked in the Obama-Biden Administration. Looks a lot like Obama and his ilk are running our formerly great country into the ground, with Joe Biden as the inept figurehead.
Dr. Victor Davis Hanson in “The Case for Trump argues that at home the economy in Trump’s first six hundred days was better than at any time in the last decade. Massive deregulation, stepped-up energy production, tax cuts, increased border enforcement, and talking up the American brand produced a synergistic economic upswing, as evidenced by gross domestic product (GDP) growth, a roaring stock market, and near record unemployment. Abroad, Trump restored military deterrence, and questioned the previously unquestionable assumptions of the global status quo, both the nostrums of our friends and the ascendance of our enemies. The obdurate Never Trump Republicans of 2016 by mid-2018 had become either largely irrelevant or had begun to support the Trump agenda.” This is why many in the Republican establishment despise Trump… he made many of them “largely irrelevant!”
Hanson continued, “Trump is not just a political phenomenon. His person dominates the news, the popular culture, and the world’s attention. About Trump, no one is neutral, no one is calm. All agree that Trump meant to do something big, either undoing the last half century of American progressivism, or sparking a cultural and political renaissance like no other president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt or crashing the traditional American political establishment and its norms of behavior altogether.”
In his first term, Trump took “on a toxic establishment and political culture that long ago needed an accounting.”[3] That’s why most politicians on both sides of the isle and the “Deep State” despised Trump and fought him every step of the way.
Let Trump finish the job, or we may not survive through 2026. He is the only candidate with nothing to lose and the financial ability to take on the “toxic establishment.”
If you don’t like Trump, get over it… for the sake of future generations and the continuation of the experiment in individual freedom handed down to us by the American Founders. If the United States of America implodes, there will be no place left for freedom-loving people to go.
