The Patriot Post® · The Point of No Return?
Sometimes, I find myself wondering if a Trump victory in November can do anything but slightly delay the end of the great American experiment. The fact that over 60 million Americans will go out on Election Day and vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris clearly shows how far down the road to perdition we have come.
Whatever a person may think of Trump’s personal style, he has been a magnificent president by any objective measure. He has built up our military, while at the same time kept us out of unnecessary wars and begun to extract us from wars in which we should never have been engaged.
Trump has renegotiated terrible trade deals that cost us trillions of dollars and millions of jobs. He dared move our Israeli embassy to Jerusalem and has helped bring about peace in the Middle East.
He has gotten us out of both the Paris Accords and the Iran nuclear deal, the first of which would have sacrificed our economy to the climate change hoax, the second of which would have had us stand by while Iran developed a nuclear arsenal.
Until he was sucker-punched by the Chinese virus, Trump had not only supercharged the nation’s economy, but had set record levels of employment and higher wages for blacks, Latinos and women.
He is the first president since Nixon and Kissinger foolishly threw the doors open to China who has stood up to the longest-lasting of the evil empires. If he hasn’t been able to make Xi Jinping say, “Uncle Sam!” he has at least made them pay billions in tariffs and done what he could to put an end to their theft of our intellectual property and to the proliferation of their academic spies.
He even, in spite of cries of ‘racist" and “xenophobe,” stopped all flights from China in January because early on he recognized the source of the coronavirus and wasn’t afraid of calling it the Chinese virus, just as in earlier, less politically correct times, people called the Spanish flu and German measles by their rightful names.
Some people point out that what makes President Trump unique is that he was a businessman. Not so. There are very few successful businessmen or retired generals and admirals I’d want to see in the Oval Office.
What makes Trump special isn’t just that he was never a lawyer or held elected office prior to 2016, it’s that he’s his own man. No matter how hard he’s hit by the Democrats in Congress or their allies in the media, he never backs down.
He isn’t even an ideologue, except to the extent that he is guided by his patriotic instincts to base all his decisions on what he believes to be in the best interests of America.
It occurred to me that although it seems to have been decided that Trump is running as the Law & Order candidate, he could just as well run as the Peace & Prosperity candidate. He is, in fact, a president for all seasons.
While the Democrats shy away from blaming the coronavirus on China, my governor, Gavin Newsom, is so far gone that he has stated that the outbreak began in a San Francisco nail salon. Perhaps he’s confusing this virus with AIDS.
I can’t help noticing that although it is a target-rich environment full of extremely privileged, white billionaires, none of the anti-white mobs have swarmed into Silicon Valley.
It just might make you think that George Soros doesn’t want any of his fellow anti-American globalists to have their empires disturbed. Or perhaps I’m the only one with an overly suspicious mind.
I was recently speaking with a friend who related an extremely disturbing phone call she had when she phoned a favorite Beverly Hills restaurant for a reservation. Before accepting her reservation, she was asked for a credit card number.
She balked and demanded to speak to the manager. He explained that the scumbags in BLM had taken to showing up, having their meals and then walking out on the check.
The cops, even those in Beverly Hills, refuse to do anything about it. So by demanding a credit card ahead of time, the restaurant was doing what it could to protect itself from the freeloaders.
I’m sure that George Soros appreciated his minions trying to save him a few bucks on their meal allowance.
The Democrats are constantly calling for the elimination of the Second Amendment. They dream of the day when President Biden, who promised to put Beto O'Rourke in charge of gun confiscation, is elected and disarms the general public.
For my part, I dream of the day when the bullhorns in the hands of the creeps are confiscated. They serve no legitimate purpose, but are essential to the mob captains in, one, leading the knuckleheads in their mindless chants; and, two, intimidating Republican politicians and their families huddled terrified in their homes.
As if further proof were required that the so-called peaceful protests are nothing of the kind, we merely have to compare Minneapolis to Louisville. In the former, Officer Derek Chauvin was indicted for murdering George Floyd, and the mob rioted. In the latter, two of the three cops weren’t indicted, and the mob rioted.
In Seattle, a city that is definitely over-caffeinated, the mayor decided to pay an ex-pimp $150,000 a year to work as an intermediary between the police department and the criminal element. I’m not sure what his exact duties are, but, then, I’m sure the same can be said for its mayor.
What I do know is that for the same money, Seattle could hire three more cops.
Now that Amy Coney Barrett has been nominated by President Trump, it should make for an interesting confirmation hearing.
Because she’s a woman, the Democrats won’t be able to use their favorite tactic, by accusing her of being a rapist. (What makes that such a peculiar charge is that the Democrats don’t seem to have any objection to the crime when it’s allegedly committed by Bill Clinton or Joe Biden.) Instead, they will have to question her about her degree of fidelity to her religion.
Which is what Sen. Dianne Feinstein did during her confirmation to the federal bench, even though there isn’t supposed to be a religious test for such positions.
If the Democrats dare question Judge Barrett’s Catholicism, as a dog whistle to those who venerate the Roe v. Wade decision, it could easily backfire when it comes to Catholic voters.
What’s more, what can we expect the reaction to be among the current justices on the Court, five of whom are Catholic, including one who is beloved by the Left, Sonia Sotomayor, and one, John Roberts, who is certainly well-liked by loony Leftists.
I know there are Republicans who don’t like President Trump because of his personality. As a result, they might not only vote for Biden, but vote against Republican senators who are running on Trump’s coattails.
I would remind them that they would they be opening up the opportunity for Biden and Harris to start naming future justices. And while the uberliberal Stephen Breyer is 82, Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas are in their 70s.
There is also looming the possibility that the Democrats would carry through on their threat to make Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. states. Just like that, four Democratic senators that would make the possibility of the GOP ever again holding a Senate majority nearly impossible.
Of all the requests from politicians begging for my money, the one I resent the most came from Sen. Susan Collins of Maine.
Her message is that she’s the number one target of the Democrats. My message to Sen. Collins is “Now pull my other finger.”
Her plea came a day after she announced she would vote to delay confirmation of President Trump’s nominee to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg until after the election.
I would have been infuriated if I hadn’t found the timing so amusing.
It’s because of people like her and Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski that some Republicans despise RINOs as much or more than they hate Democrats.
Not all of us feel that way, though. Some of us would simply prefer it if people living north of the 45.2538 degree latitude line weren’t allowed to vote.
Bob Hunt passed along a meme that carried the ecumenical message that “Corona isn’t Trump’s fault. Ebola wasn’t Obama’s fault. SARS wasn’t Bush’s fault. And only a few cases of herpes were Clinton’s fault.”
