Vindication Overload!

 

Friends, I wouldn't say I'm quite "tired of winning" yet, but the wins keep piling up -- that's for sure.  Case in point: YouTube has settled with DJT over his claim that he was illegally and wrongly evicted from the platform after the January 6th unpleasantness.  Has YouTube and all of social media become MAGA-compliant?  Far from it!  However, there has been a notable retreat from censorship and from indoctrination, for which we should all be very grateful.

President Trump and Israeli P.M. Benjamin Netanyahu have released a plan for peace in Gaza that involves an international body, chaired by Trump himself, taking over administration of the region.  Will Hamas relent?  That we don't know, but it would be fascinating, to say the least, to see Donald J. Trump enthroned as Emperor of New Gaza, a.k.a. the Levantine Riviera.  Who, or what, would provide security in this new Trumpian dominion?  Stay tuned!

It looks like we may be heading to a government shutdown of indeterminate duration.  The Dems are being pushed by their radical, Trump-hating base to take a stand, while Trump and Republicans seem to feel that Democrats will get the blame, and in the meantime the federal government will shed even more pesky bureaucrats.  The markets are a little nervous, but I've always felt that the disruptions caused by shutdowns have been greatly exaggerated by the media.

Finally, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has addressed an assembly of senior officers in Virginia, and he was joined by President Trump.  Both of them reiterated their commitment to extirpating wokeness from the armed forces, refocusing the soldiery on fighting America's enemies, and pursuing a culture of merit rather than DEI and entitlement.  Contrary to claims in the mainstream media that Hegseth and Trump would announce the institution of the Fourth Reich at this military conclave, in fact there was very little to report in terms of policy changes.  If the nature of the meeting made some woke officers "uncomfortable", well, there's a simple solution to their feelings of angst: go volunteer to fight for Ukraine, which you probably love more than America anyway.

Gotcha???

 

Friends, the big news today is that Trump bête noire James Comey, former Director of the FBI, has been indicted on two counts stemming from his efforts to undermine Trump as president during his first term.  Democrats are AGHAST, as per usual, at this supposedly flagrant abuse of power, and Republicans are encouraged, since precious few Democrats, lefties, and establishment types have ever been held accountable for, well, anything.  Could we see a lot more indictments handed down soon?  Will these indictments translate into convictions?  Assuming the trials are held in and around the Beltway, and that the juries are drawn from these benighted regions, convictions won't come easily.  Nonetheless, this is an important first step in holding the Deep State's collective feet to the fire.  I wish the relevant prosecutors all the best!

Fish and Trips

 

Friends, good news!  My trip to England just wrapped up, and I'm pleased to say it went superbly.  Sure, I was feted by King Charles at Windsor Castle, as every American tourist has come to expect, but for me the real highlight was playing croquet at the prestigious Roehamption Club, as you see here.  My signature blue ball and I make quite an impression, wherever we go!  What were the other high points of the trip?  Lots of quality time with family and friends, some exploration of family history, gorgeous churches and cathedrals, and plenty of good eating, which you wouldn't have expected on the Sceptred Isle a few decades ago.  Of course, it's nice to be home, and now that I am home I can devote myself to keeping up with the news and engaging in fruitful dialogue with...you!

 

Speaking of fruitful, a little birdie tells me that the blog has just notched half a million total hits!  Of course, no one is less surprised than I am, because I always figured the political world would fall at my feet, sooner or later, but it's always nice to be proven right, no?  Let's hope the popularity of this forum continues to skyrocket!!!

 

So what's going on in the news?  Well, there is more and more talk of a potential government shutdown, and DJT is making it clear that he would embrace any such golden opportunity and would duly fire every bureaucrat in sight!  And why wouldn't he?

Another leftist sniper has drawn blood, this time at an ICE facility.  It seems there are more and more radicalized young male "progressives" out there who feel that bullets can solve problems that ballots can't.  They're right, strictly speaking, but they also risk inflaming our country's political divisions, galvanizing the right, and further delegitimizing the Left.  It will be interesting to see whether the fanatical Left can be brought under any kind of control.

Finally, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered all generals and admirals to attend an extraordinary in-person meeting at a base in Virginia.  Needless to say, all the Trump haters in the officer corps are nervous!  They must expect that the MAGA-ization of the military is about to be intensified, which, if true, sounds promising to me...  Send all the lefty dissident generals and admirals on a five-year fact-finding mission to Timbuktu, I say!

He's Baaaaaaaaack (Like It Or Not)!!!

 

Friends, the lefties made a full court press to force Disney to put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air, and it looks like they've succeeded.  Kimmel has not apologized for his false and offensive remarks about Charlie Kirk and the MAGA movement, but he's getting his show back and will once again be poisoning the minds of average Americans.  Phooey!  Clearly, we have a long way to go before Hollywood and broadcast media can be redeemed in the eyes of decent, patriotic Americans.  Shame on Disney!  Shame!!!

 

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/09/22/disney-says-jimmy-kimmel-live-coming-back-tuesday-night/ 

 

In other news, a truly remarkable memorial service was held for Charlie Kirk in Arizona yesterday, and among its noteworthy features was a reconciliation, of sorts, between President Trump and Elon Musk.  That was nice to see!  It sure looks as though the conservative movement has been energized by this tragedy, which is of course exactly what Kirk would have wanted.

Finally, President Trump and HHS Secretary RFK, Jr. have announced what they believe to be a causal link between pregnant women using Tylenol and autism.  Is this the real deal?  I'm not a doctor, and I'm not a scientist, so it's hard for me to say, but I have little doubt that lots of studies will now be undertaken to get to the bottom of this question, which is good.  Autism has been skyrocketing in recent years.  Something is amiss, and parents and prospective parents need answers.

Going for the Gold

 

Friends, big changes are coming to our immigration system, and not a moment too soon!  In a nutshell, DJT is making it harder for skilled workers to get jobs in this country (which can, and often does, make it tougher for native-born Americans to compete), while he's easing the paths of wealthy foreigners who wish to live here and invest.  Seems pretty sensible to me!  This will balance out some of the toxic impact of the mainstream media, which is working overtime to blacken the name of the USA internationally.  Trump's decision to incentivize what amounts to the world's best and brightest coming here to live and spend their money, but NOT to take our jobs, seems like the perfect solution.

 

https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-to-add-100-000-fee-to-h-1b-visas-e41ffe48?st=uesWvx 

 

In other news, Dems and lefties are outraged --OUTRAGED, I say! -- by the "indefinite suspension" of Jimmy Kimmel.  It's blatant censorship, they say!  Well, maybe our FCC supremo could have handled it with more finesse, but the simple fact is that Kimmel wasn't "fired" because he criticized Trump.  He was let go (we hope) because he decided to spread dangerous, provocative disinformation.  Disney/ABC is, of course, in a no-win position, in the sense that they can never please the MAGA crowd and the Antifa rabble simultaneously.  In any case, I hope Kimmel stays unemployed "indefinitely", i.e. forever!

Finally, note that the political fortunes of one Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, are reviving, for the simple reason that he stopped trying to sound like a centrist, and he started throwing red meat at the Trump hating fanatics who make up his party.  A smart move, in the short term.

A Prince Among...Royals!

 

Friends, hearty kudos to President Trump and First Lady Melania on their very successful state visit to England, which helped to solidify the "special relationship" we have with the Brits, and which, because of its smoothness and sheer splendor, irritated lefties to no end!  I thought the touching words that Trump and King Charles shared about the closeness of our friendship were well chosen, and I expect that, despite the machinations of our common enemies (neo-Marxists rising to the top of that particular list), our alliance will continue to prosper.

 

https://nypost.com/2025/09/17/world-news/president-trump-and-melania-arrive-for-king-charles-state-dinner/ 

 

In other news, Jimmy Kimmel is...cancelled?  He's suspended, for sure, and none too soon, if you ask me.  His latest "jokes", which labeled the assassin of Charlie Kirk "MAGA" (for no reason except that Kimmel is an arrogant lunatic), were a bridge too far.  We've seen quite a few lefty agitators in Hollywood and in the news media bite the dust in recent months.  Here's hoping we can add Kimmel to that Wall of Shame!

Rats Exiled from the Sinking Ship

 

Friends, I'm sure you've noticed the rash of lefties celebrating the demise of Charlie Kirk, and the fact that many of them are finding themselves disciplined or fired by their employers.  Pity, that!  The latest casualty is a columnist for the ultra-left Washington Post, and she joins a long list of left-leaning "journalists" who've had to find new work opportunities since DJT became president.  Has the MSM redeemed itself, by purging these miscreants?  Not by a long shot!  However, we are seeing what may be a substantial and lasting shift in the culture of the news media that could, in the end, presage a golden age for conservatism and the death of the Left, at least as we know it.  I'm encouraged!!!

Meanwhile, since I'm currently sojourning in the British Isles, I thought you might find this tidbit interesting.  The Conservative Party, i.e. the Tories, is really struggling these days, but an upstart party of genuine conservatives, led by Nigel Farage, called the Reform Party, is going strong, at least if the polls are to be believed.  Today, a prominent Conservative MP jumped ship and joined Reform.  Could the sand be shifting beneath the feet of British politicos?  Stay tuned!

Cut Down in His Prime

 

Friends, we here at WaddyIsRight share our condolences with the family of Charlie Kirk, prominent conservative activist who was shot dead in Utah yesterday.  It will be fascinating to see who did it and why, although the question of "why" does rather answer itself...  The ramifications may be considerable!  I personally didn't know much about Kirk, but I gather he was a big fish in right-wing circles.  What are your thoughts?

Poland on the Warpath

 

Friends, the Poles are claiming that Russia has launched more than a dozen drones against their sovereign territory, and this is, of course, a major provocation that ought to gird all of NATO to strike back!  Well, duh.  The Poles are itching for a fight with Russia, to which I reply: then have one!  Send your brave Polish soldiers over the border and intervene in the Russia-Ukraine War.  You have plenty of good reasons to do it.  We, the people of the United States, do not.

Could pharmaceutical ads be removed from our airwaves, or severely restricted in some way?  If DJT and RFK get their way, the answer is yes!  This would be a huge win for public health, insofar as Americans have been popping pills indiscriminately and irresponsibly for years, and it would be a huge win for conservatism and common sense, insofar as Big Pharma's ad dollars are the main reason why CNN and MSNOW are still in business.  Banning such ads would devastate what we euphemistically call the mainstream media, and I'm all for that!!!

No Mercy

 

Friends, elections have consequences, as we all know.  In Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro's very narrow loss to a raving socialist means that he's been charged with various imaginative "crimes" and will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.  In other words, in Brazil, they do lawfare a with a heck of a lot more verve and competence than the Democrats do it here.  What we must hope is that this epic overreach gives conservatives the moral high ground, and thus they claim victory in Brazil's next election -- if indeed Brazil's Supreme Court would allow such a dreadful thing to happen.  That might be more "democracy" than they had in mind.

In other news, the revisions to official jobs numbers are getting bigger and bigger.  Either the numbers themselves are being politicized, or the quality of the data is awfully poor.  In any case, we may be seeing the beginnings of an AI-based jobs crisis in America and throughout the world.  I mean, why hire an obnoxious human when a computer can do the job better and cheaper?

Epstein, Epstein, Epstein!

 

Friends, Democrats and leftists have become increasingly obsessed with the "Epstein files", and increasingly bold in their claims that Donald Trump is a pedophile who is covering up his (deep) involvement in the Epstein scandal.  Well, I believe that's 100% hogwash.  I've never been remotely interested in the Epstein business, and I've never believed there were "lists" or "tapes" that would conclusively prove anyone's culpability, and especially not Trump's!  As usual, this is pure wish fulfilment on leftists' part, and it is getting increasingly pathetic and deranged, if you ask me.  On the other hand, we have to accept and deal with the fact that the truthfulness of an allegation does not necessarily determine its impact and its influence.  How Trump and the Trump Administration have "played" the Epstein issue has not always been optimal, and it may have had the unfortunate effect of giving Democrats and loony leftists ammunition to use against DJT.  The second article here argues that Trump should address Epstein's accusers with more sensitivity.  Maybe that's true, but the other approach is to ignore this ridiculous sideshow and/or to redirect the attention of the public to other, more plausible, victimizers.  All I know is that every minute we spend talking about Epstein is one minute we're NOT spending addressing issues of substance...but perhaps that's why the Dems are gravitating in this direction in the first place.

In other news, the Supreme Court is backing up President Trump on the issue of ICE raids, and I, for one, thank SCOTUS for keeping its eye on the ball.

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c784697j2v8o 

 

Finally, the Trump Administration is taking action to ensure that no conservative is ever again "debanked" simply because he or she refuses to bend the knee to the left-leaning establishment.  This is very welcome, indeed!  We conservatives must have access to the "public square", especially in the form of social media, and we must have, well, jobs and money, or else we starve on the streets.  Thanks, DJT!!!

Prelude to Dictatorship?

 

Friends, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is suggesting that President Trump's imminent (?) deployment of the National Guard to Chicago, ostensibly to tackle crime, is actually a sign that he intends to militarize and manipulate U.S. elections.  This may seem like tortured reasoning to you and me, but it's an article of faith on the Left: Trump is an aspiring dictator who will end American democracy as we know it.  Never mind the fact that the opposition to Trump is just as active and outspoken as ever.  Now, exactly how the National Guard could be used to steal an election is an interesting question.  At any rate, Democratic Governors regularly deploy the National Guard in domestic situations, and they never usurp power that isn't rightfully theirs...  I personally see little downside to Trump sending in the National Guard.  If the Dems want to go down fighting for the rights of criminals and illegal aliens, so be it.

In other news, the MSM is in a tizzy about the fact that a Hyundai plant was raided in Georgia, and hundreds of South Korean nationals were arrested.  Well, that's too bad, but South Koreans are bound to uphold our immigration laws just as much as Mexicans or Guatemalans are.  We welcome foreign investment in this country, but we give quarter to no one, and no country, and no multinational corporation, when it comes to respecting our sovereignty and the rule of law, period!

On a War Footing

 

Friends, the Department of Defense is for weenies!  That's why DJT is giving the Pentagon a makeover.  He's renaming it the "Department of War", which is what it was called before 1947, when for some reason we decided that "war" was icky and we don't do war anymore.  This change makes sense, if you ask me, because Trump wants the military to focus exclusively on war-fighting...although its current foray into America's cities does somewhat obscure that goal.

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgr9r4qr0ppo 

 

In other news, RFK, who doesn't lack for courage, took on the Senate today, and of course the Dems had it in for him from the start.  He didn't back down, though, and it appears that the reign of Big Pharma may be coming to an end.

Alligator Alcatraz is back in business, thanks to a federal appeals court!  Hooray!  More importantly, the federal deportation machine is just beginning to shift into high gear, so expect a lot fewer illegals in the months and years ahead.

Xi Whiz!!!

 

Friends, we here at WaddyIsRight extend our hearty congrats to President Xi and the Red Chinese as they celebrate "Victory Day" with a show of military might.  I echo DJT's sentiments: "Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un as you conspire against the United States of America."  China might want to recall that, for all the billions they've spent on their shiny new weapons, there's virtually no one in their military who has ever fired so much as a pop gun in anger, so they might want to get their feet wet attacking, oh, Mongolia before they pick on the big boys...  I do, however, share Rand Paul's concern that our Big, Beautiful sanctions on India will force that country into China's and Russia's arms, and that would be a damn shame.

Capitalist Realism

 

Friends, a very happy Labor Day to you, one and all!  This Labor Day, it's worth reflecting on the considerable wage gains that workers have made since DJT took office (for the second time).  Plus, there are now several million more native-born Americans working for a living in the private sector than there were in January, while the number of government workers and immigrant workers has fallen.  How's that for a pleasant change?  You asked for AMERICA FIRST, and you got it!

In other news, President Trump has challenged Big Pharma to prove the effectiveness of their COVID vaccines.  Skepticism about the vaccines, especially of the mRNA variety, has been building on the right for years, and it appears that the RFK point of view is rising all the way to the top.  As a doctor of philosophy, I frankly don't know what to think about any vaccine, but I do want such public health decisions to be made on the basis of genuine science, not corrupt backroom deals.

Should nutjobs be confined to the nuthouse?  Maybe so, says President Trump, although most insane asylums were closed long ago, basically as a cost savings measure.  You know what's really cheap?  A lobotomy!  Don't knock it 'til you've tried it...
