Friends, the FBI's recent raid on Mar-a-Lago may have been all about building a case for prosecution, or it might simply have been part and parcel of the grand narrative the Left has been fostering for years that Trump is a dangerous, lawless maniac. One thing is for sure: the latest attempt by the Dem/leftist establishment to blacken the name of Donald Trump has fallen flat, especially with Republicans. In fact, DJT's numbers have gone up with GOP voters, and his favorability remains better than Biden's. Now, that doesn't mean that the DOJ won't try to put Trump in the slammer and throw away the key if he "mishandled" even one precious document, but it sure does complicate this rearguard action to game the results of the 2024 presidential election long before the campaigning even gets underway.

In other news, with the release of the warrant used to search Trump's home, we know a little more about the nature of the materials that the FBI was looking for. The revelation that there may be a "mole" in Trump's inner circle is intriguing. Trump has been plagued by leakers and turncoats from the beginning. That's presumably because all of the Dem establishment and most of the Republican establishment loathes Trump, and will do virtually anything to destroy him. My personal opinion is that Trump had better get A LOT better at discerning his friends from his enemies if he hopes to win in 2024, and if he hopes thereafter to get anything done.

This breathless article about how the GOP plans to pull the rug out from under the public education system is worth a read. Frankly, some of this angst is justified, because the Dems and their education allies must know that, as soon as parents are given a meaningful choice about how to educate their children, many of our failing and neo-Marxist public schools are in deep trouble. I sincerely hope we end the government school monopoly on K-12 education, because doing so would be the singlest best step we could take to "save America" from the flood tide of crypto-Bolshevism.

As many of you know, we're about to get yet more government spending, and higher taxes, because Joe Manchin decided to back Senator Schumer's slimmed-down Build Back Better bill. If Manchin hoped to earn anyone's gratitude, he must be sorely disappointed. In fact, his favorability ratings have cratered. Lefties still hate him, and now conservatives do too! No wonder "compromise" is so hard to engineer in Washington, D.C. It usually succeeds in pleasing no one, which is apparently Manchin's speciality.

ReplyDeleteWhy do we need Trump to get anything done, or save the country? This has never been very well explained by anyone, seriously. Clearly, it would be in the best interests of The American People if he stepped down, and started endorsing someone else for the presidency. On the other hand, if he did step down, why would any Republican candidate for president need his endorsement? Why? The fate of this country should not be determined by another Trump presidency, and certainly not by another Biden presidency.
Dr.Waddyfrom Jack: Anyone, be they sainted, would be treated to leftist excoriation and determined unlimited discreditation by the left,for the unspeakable offense of open contempt for the leftist elite (eg. not to Hillary) and far worse, demonstrated and enacted effort to actually thwart that unassailable faction and enact measures of unendurable offense to the oh so selectively offended left. President Trump knows this and he sneers at it!!!
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddyfrom Jack: Consequently, he is, by definition (an easy standard to excite leftist condemnation) , yes,a dangerous and lawless maniac. BUT" maniac is a term the definition of which requires education in Psychology which is presumed among so many on the left. Oh yes, " Psych"was the fashionable major in the '60s. but eh, perhaps impenetrable through the smoky dorm room haze.!Perhaps a graduate degree might have afforded a more challenged perception! But by now, maybe not! We boomers were a malleable lot and with our
ReplyDeleteterribly credible mien opened the door to the grimly determined left.

Dr.Waddy et al from Jack: Resolute support for DJT is VITAL! No one has stood as four square for the real America as this gutsy dude! He did us almost incalculable benefit by seating THREE! Supreme COURT Justices devoted to the rule of law!
ReplyDeleteRay, I can understand how you feel, but the political reality is that Trump is LOVED by most Republicans. Maybe it would be in the best interests of the country for Trump to step aside, but unless he chooses to do so, then, like it or not, it is HIS WILL that's going to determine the next Republican candidate for President. Presumably, he'll choose himself. And, at that point, once again we can either back him or we can be complicit in foisting four more years of leftist misrule on the country. In a perfect world, we could find the perfect candidate. In the real world, we'll have two imperfect candidates to choose from, and our duty is to pick the best one.
ReplyDeleteJack: Trump's intestinal fortitude is impressive, as you point out, but all that would be for naught if he hadn't made his mark on the judiciary as he did. That's one arena in which no conservative can, even for a moment, gainsay his positive contribution to America and to Western Civilization.
