Putting Angola First

Biden announced that American taxpayers – you and me – are giving $1 billion to help the people of Angola who have been “displaced from their homes” because of climate change.

Everyone knows Donald Trump’s campaign slogan – America First. For Trump, it’s more than just a slogan. His actions always put our country and our people first.

Joe Biden has got a new slogan. He’s putting Angola first. That’s right – Angola. A notoriously corrupt African country. And it is, in fact, a country, not a city, as Biden called it during his speech there.

Biden announced that American taxpayers – you and me – are giving $1 billion to help the people of Angola who have been “displaced from their homes” because of climate change.

Biden says the people of Angola are suffering from climate change. WRONG!

They are suffering from a corrupt government and failed socialist policies. And why do we owe anybody money for “climate change”? We should bill them for most of what they have because it was invented or built in America!

Meanwhile in North Carolina, our fellow Americans “displaced from their homes” by hurricanes are still sleeping in tents while temperatures fall into the twenties.

That’s outrageous! But it’s not just Angola.

Americans are angry over the $150 billion we have been forced to spend on illegal aliens while our own citizens still haven’t gotten their $750 of emergency disaster relief.

And we now know that government bureaucrats were deliberately discriminating against Trump supporters by skipping homes with Trump signs or flags.

I am sick and tired of listening to idiotic commentators, university professors, Wall Street big shots, and establishment Republicans saying, “I just don’t understand why the American people are so angry. Where is this anger coming from?”

Well, take a flight to Charlotte and ask the people in North Carolina why they spent the night in a tent in 20-degree temperatures. Ask them how much they enjoyed it. That will give you a good idea about why we are angry.

Biden’s got plenty of money for Angola. He’s got plenty of money for illegal migrants. And he just found more money for Ukraine. He’s giving another $725 million to Ukraine – on top of the more than $100 billion we’ve already given them.

Donald Trump’s inauguration can’t come soon enough. We must put America and the American people first!

Dissing Our Veterans

I was thinking about our veterans this morning. It breaks the hearts of most Americans when we hear that some homeless individual is a veteran who served his country in the military.

Most veterans come back and make good lives for themselves and their families. But we are deeply disturbed when even one individual who put on the uniform of our country can’t reintegrate into society.

I was also thinking about our veterans because two vets are in the news, and the great power centers of America are treating them like scum.

One is Pete Hegseth. (See next item.) The idea that members of Congress are sitting in judgment over Hegseth’s personal life over the years makes my blood boil. Particularly because these politicians come from the party that dances every time a baby is killed by “choice,” and there’s nothing they won’t do to appease LGBTQ fanatics.

The other vet is Daniel Penny.

Just imagine that you’re on the subway in New York City or any other major city. Suddenly, a deranged individual starts screaming and threatening to attack people. Then a man steps in and restrains the potential attacker. That’s what Penny did on May 1, 2023.

From that day until now, leftist ideologues have made his life hell. They used his military service against him, saying that as a veteran he knew how to properly restrain Jordan Neely without killing him. And, of course, they accused Penny of racism.

By the way, Neely’s long criminal record (42 arrests) included an outstanding warrant for assaulting a 67 year-old woman on the subway.

I am shocked and disgusted every time I read or see a news story about a woman who was attacked by a thug while able-bodied men looked the other way.

What kind of country produces “men” like that? I’ll tell you – the kind of country that punishes men like Pete Hegseth and Daniel Penny.

The anti-war movement used to say, “What if there’s a war and nobody came?” If we keep doing this to our veterans, we’ll find out sooner rather than later.

“Keep Fighting”

The Wall Street Journal reports that President-elect Trump is considering replacing Pete Hegseth with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. I’ve seen no indication that DeSantis is eager to have the job. The Journal also claims that as many as six Republican senators may be opposed to Hegseth’s nomination as secretary of defense.

Maybe the report was contrived to force Hegseth to step aside. Who knows if this was an intentional leak or the news department of the Wall Street Journal competing again with the New York Times to see who can do the most damage to the GOP.

Of course, the story could be fake news. Hegseth said that he talked with Trump this morning, and the president-elect told him, “Keep going. Keep fighting. I’m with you all the way.”

I am glad to hear it. No one should forget what the left did to Brett Kavanaugh!

Getting the right secretary of defense is critically important for the Trump/Vance administration, and more and more senators are offering their support for Hegseth’s nomination.

Hegseth should keep fighting. If there are Republican senators who oppose his nomination, we need to make that confirmation vote happen. Let’s put them on the record and find out who they are.

As one conservative commentator noted, the last time a nominee for secretary of defense was defeated, we lost John Tower and got Dick Cheney instead.

Insanity In The Court

The Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday about whether young children should be sterilized and surgically mutilated. It was infuriating listening to the justices and various left-wing lawyers debating boys becoming girls and girls becoming boys.

This is insane! And it’s where the left has taken our country. Once again, conservatives are fighting a culture war we did not start and did not want.

But we did get a good look at the mindset of the left, which is determined to twist common sense and normal beliefs into bigotry.

During Wednesday’s arguments, Biden-appointee Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson compared transgenderism to interracial marriage. So, if you oppose children cutting off healthy body parts, you’re a bigot like George Wallace and other racists who oppose interracial marriage.

Here’s another way to look at it. Bizarre medical experiments on children, who can’t give consent, are like the infamous Tuskegee experiments on black men. Those men were victims who did not consent to those experiments.

Justice Jackson should have recused herself from this case. During her confirmation hearing, she shocked senators when she was asked to define what a woman is. Jackson couldn’t do it.

Frankly, she shouldn’t even be on the Supreme Court. That idiotic response should have disqualified her!

Final Results

We just got the results of an election for a House seat in southern California – 28 days after ballots were cast. The state of Florida had its results within 24 hours.

The left is obviously cheating in California. The way they’re doing it now is that the state has an absurd period of time after Election Day to “cure” ballots – those with no dates, missing signatures, or some other issue. The Democrat Party and its left-wing allies do whatever it takes to “cure” the votes it needs to win.

So, Republicans just lost another House seat and will be left with an extremely narrow 220 to 215 majority.

Don’t forget that experts say Biden’s census cost us nine other seats that should have been new congressional representation in fast-growing Red states. But leftist bureaucrats undercounted people in conservative states and overcounted people in liberal states.
