Friends, my latest article isn't about Trump so much as it's about you, the beleagured American conservative, and why, even in this, our season of discontent, we right-wingers should be thankful for what America is, and how well our country has weathered the storm of socialism and wokeness. It's a bit of good cheer that I hope will inspire you and yours this holiday season. You can read it soon at World Net Daily. You can read it right now here:
A Deplorable Thanksgiving
During this season
of thankfulness, it can be all too easy for conservatives to sink
into an attitude of lethargy, compounded by despair. After all, since
March 2020 we've seen government spending and the power of
bureaucrats explode as never before – in reaction, allegedly, to
the coronavirus pandemic.
Worse, just one
year ago, we suffered a humiliating triple defeat in the 2020
election, with the dastardly Dems capturing the White House, the
Senate, and the House of Representatives. Conservatives differ on
whether, or how much, this election was “free and fair”, but
almost regardless of the answer our loss was still a tragedy of
gargantuan proportions.
The fact is,
however, that we “deplorables” have much to be thankful for.
Just with regard
to the 2020 election and its ramifications, we can count our lucky
stars that President Trump motivated 12 million extra Americans to
vote for him and for GOP candidates (compared to the 62 million who
supported Trump in 2016), because that surge of enthusiasm on the
right kept the Democratic majorities in the Senate and the House
paper-thin. That has made it well nigh impossible for Nancy Pelosi
and Chuck Schumer to push through “transformative” legislation,
and it has given the few “moderates” left in the Democratic Party
substantial leverage over the Biden agenda, such as it is.
In short, the
damage that a Dem-led Congress has done could have been far worse.
There is even a very good chance, increasing by the day, that the
dreaded reconciliation bill, rebranded as a “social spending”
measure or as the “Build Back Better Bill”, will die an
ignominious death at the hands of Joe Manchin.
We can also be
thankful, in a perverse way, that Joe Biden was elected President, or
“President”, as some skeptics might prefer it. Biden is
inarticulate, out-of-touch, and profoundly uninspiring and
disappointing – and that's according to Democrats! Biden was always
a poor representative of the fire-breathing, hyper-woke modern Left.
He's also proving to be even less competent and politically astute
than Democrats feared, and Republicans expected. His poll numbers
have tumbled with historic rapidity, and in time to drag Terry
McAuliffe, among others, down to defeat in 2021, serving notice to
the whole Democratic Party that it faces electoral armageddon in
2022.
Let's be honest:
a different Democratic President – a more persuasive, appealing
leader, and perhaps a more subtle one – would have posed a far
greater danger to Republicans, to conservatives, to Trumpers, and,
most importantly, to the country. Biden has proven such a disaster,
in fact, that no leftist/mainstream media attempt to change the
overarching narrative (“Insurrection!”) has had any appreciable
effect.
Despite
all this, Jen Psaki tells us that Sleepy Joe “intends” to run for
reelection in 2024. Now that
is the best news I've heard in years! Trump will be elated.
Finally, we on
the right can and should be thankful that, although the Biden
Administration is smashing, like a wrecking ball, into the
superstructure of America, the fact is that our nation's foundation
remains intact.
Americans are
stubbornly adhering to their traditional “family values” this
holiday season, gathering with relatives to celebrate God's grace,
America's bounty, and their love for one another. Every Thanksgiving
meal, in fact, is a rebuke to those leftist nags who say we ought to
be masked, alone, and watching CNN this year, instead of sitting
around the dining room table and sharing a meal with loved ones.
And, somewhat
miraculously, given the abuse it takes from parasitical socialists
and arrogant bureaucrats, our capitalist economy has proven to be
extraordinarily resilient. Try as they might to deaden Americans'
work ethics and entrepreneurial zeal with the entitlement mentality
and by endlessly playing the victim card, Democrats have not yet
driven a stake through the heart of the free market system. Inflation
will wound the U.S. economy, and the living standards of ordinary
Americans, but there is every reason to believe that, when the storm
of socialism passes, Americans are ready to get back to work, to
innovate, to invest, and to embrace a governing philosophy based on
the idea that a great country should, first and foremost, live within
its means.
The immediate
future may not be bright, therefore. In fact, significant pain and
sacrifice lies ahead, as Democratic mismanagement compounds the
various crises we already face. Nonetheless, we can tell by the
crestfallen faces on the Left that the radical transformation of
America, and the evisceration of our values, that they hoped to
achieve will not come to pass.
Was it our wisdom
and perseverance on the right, or the Dems' sheer imbecility and
bull-headedness, that worked this miracle, this narrow escape from
the jaws of neo-Marxism?
Who knows. Either
way, America is back.
Thank God!

In other news, it's looking increasingly likely that the murder suspect in Waukesha, Wisconsin was motivated, in part, by animus towards white people. We all know, of course, that the media would happily jump to conclusions about an alleged murderer's horrific racism, if the murderer was white and the victims were black. Alas, the reality of anti-white racism barely registers with the mainstream media. Given how critical race theory teaches millions of Americans that whites are inherently racist, and America is inherently evil, however, it would hardly be surprising if anti-white bias were surging. Do "white lives matter"? To the relatives of the victims, no doubt they do. To the press and to our political elite, though, the victimization of whites by black offenders only produces discomfort and denial. Expect, therefore, that the Waukesha incident will be quickly forgotten, and Darrell Brooks will be written off as a lone kook.
