Fallout
And so it begins.
President Donald Trump
I have concluded that “I’m no longer going anywhere because I’m already there.” Perhaps this is the nature of retirement. It is certainly not the case with President Trump, who is older than me yet negotiates trade and defense deals with Asian nations on the other side of the world to counter the Chinese threat. And after meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump hurries home to host a children’s White House Halloween trick-or-treat event, all the while resisting the Democrats’ attempts to cripple the government and prevent America from being great again.
The Democrats’ hatred of President Trump seems endless and is undeniably pathological. Just look at what TDS has done to a disheveled Nancy Pelosi, who insanely rants that Trump is a “vile creature” and “the worst thing on the face of the Earth.” Senator Fetterman corrected the deranged Pelosi, saying it is Hamas who are the worst humanity has to offer.
The Democrats failed to remove Trump from presidential ballots in 2024, put him in jail or destroy him financially. And the dehumanizing, violent Democrat rhetoric has inflamed nut-jobs who then tried to kill the president twice. Trump is a remarkable man and leader. Greg Gutfield said, “We don’t deserve him.”
President Trump is the adversary of Washington elitists, globalists and leftists who have tried to destroy him. They have utterly failed. Ernest Hemingway, in his novel “A Farewell to Arms,” wrote, “The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.” Trump has never been broken, but has become stronger and is leading a resurgence of populism all over the world, ending globalism.
If the Democrats had any sense, they’d open up the government, abandon their failed policies of sanctuary cities, focus on illegal aliens instead of citizens, promote trans surgery on children and allow men in women’s sports and bathrooms, while promoting cashless bail and defending criminals instead of protecting law-abiding Americans.
But the Democrats will not change because the old dinosaurs like Schumer and Pelosi can’t change. They no longer have power against the radical leadership trio of AOC, Bernie and Mamdani, who have taken over the Democratic Party. Actually, the Democratic Party is now a façade. There are no John F. Kennedy Democrats left. The party should now be called the Democratic Socialist Party, because it is.
In 1859, Charles Dickens published his novel “A Tale of Two Cities,” which described the violent French Revolution, where passion was unchecked and God was replaced by Robespierre’s perverted reason. By contrast, the English Glorious Revolution was successful because citizens’ rights were preserved, the king’s authority was limited and religion was safeguarded.
The contrast between President Trump’s America First policy, the rule of law and protection of citizens stands in sharp contrast to the Democratic Socialists’ policies to advance their power and take control of the Democratic Party. An organization called the Canary Mission just published an exposé of the Democratic Socialist (DS) movement, saying it is engaged in a “hostile takeover” of the Democratic Party because it despises Schumer’s party. I quote AOC at Mamdani’s election celebration: “He had to defeat a Republican and the old guard of the Democratic Party.” Her message to Democrats was: get with the DS program or you’re finished.
Several other stories recently caught my eye. The first was the observation by K. T. McFarland regarding the Monroe Doctrine. In 1823, President James Monroe “warned European powers against further colonization or interference in the Western Hemisphere,” coining the eponymous doctrine.
In the modern era, we now have “communism, cartels and China” in South and Central America, arguably a result of Obama and his Secretary of State John Kerry’s policy that the “Monroe Doctrine has come to an end.” President Trump has reinstated this doctrine in his battle with Venezuelan communist and drug lord Modero and his battle with Chinese ownership of ports and influence on Panama Canal traffic.
The second story involves Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, who was accused of “sexual assault” by Google’s AI Gemma. The “patently false material” generated by the AI was perhaps a “hallucination,” where AI invents a storyline or data. The “catastrophic failure of oversight and accountability” led to Google removing its “AI model from its AI Studio platform.” Beware of AI, which gleans internet data but has no discriminatory powers of common sense. It begs to ask, what is real these days?
Another issue was of a more personal nature. A friend has an alcoholic brother who has repeatedly failed rehab and has again lost his job. Efforts to save him are tearing the family apart. The question becomes, how can you save a loved one who can’t or doesn’t want to be saved? After a point, you must let go of a drowning person instead of being pulled under yourself. Perhaps this applies to NYC.
And lastly, I come to the political fallout of the recent election. Inspirational candidates who address economic realities win elections, rather than the labels of Democrat or Republican. Immigrants and younglings, who had little skin in the game and fewer pathways to the American dream, elected Mamdani. The “grand old parties” are dead, just like the Schumers and RINOs. There is the Trump-MAGA Party and the Democratic-Socialist Party. President Trump understands this reality and posted, “And so it begins,” after Mamdani threw down the gauntlet in his election night speech.
Apparently, the voters of New York City believe Zohran the Great will save them by some miraculous sleight of hand. Some call him “Mondani the commie.” I know little of him, but I have researched the Democratic Socialist movement as well as socialism, which history teaches always fails. And as Vladimir Lenin said, “The goal of socialism is communism.” Perhaps it’s time for Gotham to have real consequences.
And it is time for those who call themselves Republicans to go scorched earth and eliminate the filibuster, if that is what is required to open the government. The Democrats have already said they plan to eliminate the filibuster when they get back into power. Then they will pack the Supreme Court and give statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., and acquire four more Democratic senators.
Republicans need to realize they are dealing with Democratic Socialists, not Democrats, and push through legislation to stimulate the economy, mandate voter ID and Make America Great Again.
