Equity is Failing, and We Are Better Off

Unfortunately for people who are smart and knowledgeable, most public policy, even at its highest levels, is determined by something other than logic or facts. Examples abound.

Equality is a foundational value in our country. Historically, that has meant equality of opportunity and equality before the law. Those are defensible, widely loved elements of the American Dream. They fit cleanly into a society where people can be as successful as their ability and effort will take them.

Equity (the “E “in “DEI”) is an entirely different concept. Its supporters use it interchangeably with words like equality, in an effort to obfuscate its true meaning. But equity, as practiced by the Biden Administration, means treating certain races more favorably than others. It is the opposite of equal opportunity.

Equity rests not on any identifiable, defensible, or constitutional principle, or even on any generally accepted social norm. There is no tenet of traditional liberal thought that supports discrimination based on membership within a group. And discrimination is the core concept behind equity.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits that, as SCOTUS has ruled. But that is what Biden and Harris repeatedly did, hiring and promoting people based on race, appointing judges or selecting candidates based on race, and even allocating governmental largesse based on the race of the recipient, and not on need.
Emotions always come into play. Anyone brave enough to question equity is at risk (or inevitability) of being accused of racism. Equity, as practiced by Biden-Harris under the orders issued on “Day One,” proscribes that government benefits and opportunities be allocated based first on race, not merit.

If you weren’t a preferred sex or race, Joe Biden didn’t consider you for his VP slot or for his SCOTUS appointment. He said so. Both selections were therefore made, in a nation of about 330 million people, from a pool of less than 8 million. Equity is the enemy of equal opportunity and merit.
Calling someone names is the go-to tactic for people who have lost an argument. Calling someone racist is possibly the most egregious charge that can be made against them in contemporary American. If you ask questions about DEI, you are very likely to be called a racist. Very few people are brave enough to even ask questions about what is meant by equity. Even asking the question can result in raised voices and pointed fingers.
Emotion is powerful. If you convince an audience that you are on the side of love, compassion, and justice you will probably prevail. But if emotion isn’t tied to facts and reason bad law inevitably results.

Leftists are obsessed with viewing everyone in groups. Very little of their agenda can survive even a cursory dose of common sense. The left prevails when voters make decisions on broad emotional appeals rather than details and facts.

This just in: Groups don’t do things, people do. All members of a group – any group – are not the same. Yet we use broad categories like Hispanics or Asian Americans, that suggest they are uniform.
Asian Americans are…. well, what? Is a Korean the same as a Japanese person? Are all Chinese people the same? If not, why do we lump them into categories as if they were? The reason is that emotion is an easier tool to wield when the facts are made deceptively simple.

A friend once said it is “…easier for people to believe a simple lie than a complex truth.” The leftist narrative maintains that all Black people are victims, and all white people are oppressors. That is the core of Critical Race Theory and the driving force behind the Democrat agenda. But in America, Black Americans are not the only group that has suffered economically compared to their neighbors. Neither are white people outperforming everyone else. The most successful groups in America are Asians and Indians, not whites. But those details are inconvenient to leftist race-baiters.

The emotional and group-based appeals of the left fall completely apart once people start considering what their policies really mean. No reasonable person argues that every person of any group is oppressed or that every person of any group is privileged. There are too many examples that prove otherwise.

I know people of Cuban heritage who hate Mexicans, Mexicans who hate El Salvadorans, and Cubans who hate some other Cubans. Should this surprise us? Only if we haven’t been paying attention. People act as individuals, not groups, and no policy developed for broad group appeal can ever bring justice. Stop pretending it will.

The theory is that equity will make up for past injustices. The problem is that isn’t possible. We might as well dedicate ourselves to preserving unicorns. It can’t happen and never will. It is not possible to make up for past injustices or to make it as if they did not occur in the first place.
Two reasons: you can’t change the past (if this is news to you, please report to the Department of the Obvious for further information). Plus, the supposed “cures” aren’t applied to the people who were injured. In the case of slavery, for example, those people are no longer among the living. Neither are slaveholders. You can’t atone for injustices to one person by giving benefits to someone else.

There is also the inconvenient fact that not all slaveowners were white. Records aren’t particularly reliable – we can’t look up their Instagram accounts – but it is certain several thousand Americans owning slaves were themselves black or of mixed race. Some also held white indentured servants. Irish people were among America’s first slaves.

Modern equity programs maintain that all members of certain groups are victims, they have all been held back and have all been denied a chance to succeed. They also maintain that all white people are oppressors and themselves advantaged. Really? Neither of these points are true.

When you elevate one group, you devalue another. That has always been the catch-22 behind affirmative action and equity, and law has finally come to grips with it. SCOTUS says so, as do the federal statutes. Will the woke left ever stop viewing the whole world as a Marxist struggle of the classes? Don’t count on it.

A Corrupt Party Wants to Keep Government Corrupt

A good rule of thumb in contemporary politics is that the people who oppose a change are the ones who benefit from things staying as they are.

Take election integrity. Americans today need proof of identity to get a job, enroll their child in school, open a bank account, or adopt a pet. Yet opponents of secure elections are adamantly opposed to requiring ID for voting. If it is not racist to ask for identification to open an account at your neighborhood savings and loan, why is it racist to prove you are eligible to vote?

The answer, of course, is that it is not racist to ask for ID. It is a reasonable, common-sense requirement. So why do Democrat leaders oppose it? Simple: they benefit from cheating. If they did not, they would not fight so vociferously to keep it easy to cheat.

It has recently come to light that more than two million people who entered the U. S. illegally were given social security numbers by Biden/Harris. Their administration lied, directly and repeatedly, about this. If we had an honest and professional media, it would be a scandal playing out on the front page of every American newspaper. Most news outlets have ignored it, thus expediting their descent into irrelevance.

In the last Congress, the very top priority of the Democrats was to nationalize elections; effectively banning voter ID and requiring same day registration. It was called HR 1, and it was their single most important goal. The Democrats want people voting who are not eligible. It is undeniable.

Look also at Ukraine. President Trump was the only candidate in 2024 who campaigned on ending the war. Harris/Biden wanted more war, more spending, more unaccounted dollars flowing east they could be sent back west to fill the coffers of defense contractors, crooked politicians, and their ilk.

Zelensky has said about half of the money sent to Ukraine has “disappeared.” They do not know what happened to it. Yet when the House GOP wanted to require the full accounting of all taxpayer money sent to Ukraine, Democrats overwhelmingly opposed it. Why? Who is opposed to honest and transparent management of government funds? People who are corrupt, aka, Democrats.

Then there is DOGE. The entire apparatus of the national Democrat Party has fought tooth and talon against all efforts to make government more honest, open, and accountable. They are outraged that any federal employees might no longer be needed, might be asked to come into the office, or might be subject to even the most basic expectations associated with professional management.

When Bill Clinton reduced the federal workforce by more than 300,000, Democrats cheered it. When Trump tries it today, he is vilified. The reason is pure politics. Democrats feel Trump’s efforts are reducing their power. And power is their sine qua non.

When the Keystone Pipeline was cancelled on day one by Biden, about 10,000 people lost their jobs. When asked about it, Biden laughed derisively and said they could “…learn to code.” No Democrat leaders cared.

When hundreds of thousands of Americans lost their jobs because they did not want to get an untested, experimental Covid vaccine, no Democrat cared. Their opposition to DOGE is based on their desire to cling to power, and nothing more.

People who benefit from corrupt systems do not want them changed. The adage says, “follow the money.”

The entire federal government has become a massive trough from which big government swine feast at our expense. Elected officials get rich through insider trading; governmental agencies throw around money like it was confetti; NGOs allied with the Democrats live off your tax dollars; and the kids and spouses of elected officials get plush appointments, contracts, and funding that keeps them fat and happy.

The people who benefit from this corruption oppose ending it.

GOP Anti-Trumpers Look More Foolish All The Time

By Rob Meyne

  • April 23, 2025
  • 4-min read

Formerly Republican anti-Trumpers love to act superior to members of the Party to which they were previously loyal. Nonsense. They aren’t smarter, more principled, or better than Trump voters. They are less so.

The least courageous thing a person could have done in 2024 was to abandon the principles they used to claim to have and vote for Harris or even sit on the sidelines.

GOP Anti-Trumpers used to support lower taxes, smaller government, a safer world, lower risk of nuclear war, free speech, less censorship, and more freedom. Now they throw all of that away so they can strut around and pat themselves on the back for turning on their Party and country.

Every person who is serious about politics has voted for people they didn’t like, just because they were better than the alternative. There are no perfect options. I never liked McCain but voted for him because he was better than Obama. I supported Rubio for president but when Trump got the nomination, I worked to elect him. Every election is a binary choice. Harris would have been a disaster in the White House from which we would never have recovered.

It took courage for Americans to stand with the best candidate in 2024, while running from Trump was the worst kind of hypocrisy and cowardice. Lots of anti-Trumpers think they are cool, wise, and morally superior. What a joke. Trump’s record was clearly superior to Biden/Harris. If anti-Trumpers think it is more important to have someone who doesn’t send mean Tweets than someone who is trying to prevent nuclear war, God help them.

It is laughable to see anti-Trumpers virtue-signaling. They are the types who want coveted invitations to the best parties and to eat lunch at the cool kids’ table. But it mostly shows they are unprincipled. The people who clung to their core values in 2024 are the real heroes. Fortunately, that was the majority. God bless each of you who had the guts not to run away from conservatism when it got tough. That is real courage.

It is astonishing how many formerly conservative Republicans have decided they are morally, factually, or intellectually superior to the tens of millions of people who recognized Donald Trump was a better president than would be Kamala Harris and then voted accordingly.

These anti-Trumpers are fortunately not a large group, relatively speaking, but what they lack in sheer numbers they more than make up for in condescension. I’ve spent my entire life with conservative Republicans who say they are patriots, loyal Americans, principled conservatives, and willing to sacrifice for the country. A few of those people (the formerly conservative ones) have now decided Trump is bad for the nation, as if voting for his opponent might have given us the second coming of James Madison rather than the intellectually bereft cackling cipher she was.

Anyone who thinks Harris would have been a better president is: one, a hardcore Marxist/leftist; two, uninformed; three, anti-Trump to the point of verifiable mental illness; or, four, all of the above. There simply is no way to factually and logically make the argument that the Biden-Harris presidency was more successful than Trump’s.

An acquaintance recently ranted that they are patriotic, conservative, and willing to sacrifice, but we should throw Trump overboard because of the recent stock market volatility. It brings to mind the famous comments from Patrick Henry, long a rallying cry for the right, when he said “ Give me liberty and a robust 401-K, or screw America, you’re on your own.” Well, maybe that isn’t exactly what he said.

Solving long-term challenges facing America will not be easy or quick. Our national debt is crippling and not one Democrat or old-school Republican has a solution. Fraud and waste is out of control. The border was wide open for four years and we have just learned that millions of the people who came here illegally were given social security numbers.

Our military was not meeting recruitment goals and was more concerned with the color of our soldiers than with their lethality. Record drug deaths and historic inflation have become the norm. And our young women have been told they have to learn to like showering with, and competing against, biological men. What could go wrong?

In three months, we’ve made tremendous progress. But curing the ills of the last four years will take time and courage.

If you’re whining about the value of your portfolio and, after 90 days, are determined to brand Trump a failure, please, just go ahead and join the Democrat Party. Goodbye and good riddance. There is no shortage of people who pretend to be patriotic until the road gets tough. Just leave. We will both be happier if you do.

Happy Easter

Advances in science and technology have answered some question about the Shroud of Turin. Other questions have been raised. One critical question: How did the image form on the Shroud? In photo negative, it’s clearly the image of a man who suffered profound physical trauma. The image is believed to have been radiated onto the topmost fibers in the cloth only. No pigments are evident.

Pollens in the cloth place its origin in Judea.

For many Christians, there may be mysteries about how, but no mysteries about who and why. Jesus Christ is the son of God. His life, death, and resurrection shattered the world. His Will is still at work and shall be until the end of time. Happy Easter.

Trump Will Win on Trade

Investors are skittish. Wall Street is down. Trump’s gambit on tariffs has investors spooked. The sky is falling. Yada, yada, yada.

In fact, the sky isn’t falling. Yes, investors are roiling the markets. They fear that Trump’s big play to change the global dynamic on trade will backfire. MAGA isn’t in their blood. Do understand a thing or two about Wall Street. Investors don’t like change. The status quo is working quite well for them. In other words, their making oodles of money.

Not most Americans. Most folk have meager stocks and bonds portfolios, usually held through 401Ks. The more affluent you are, the more you’re invested in the market. Most people are living paycheck-to-paycheck. They’re concerned about the prices of groceries, gasoline, utilities, rent, and what have you. Many people don’t have rainy day funds. Their credit card debts keep climbing.

Trump means to reverse that. His broader economic goal is to create jobs, boost paychecks, and bring down costs. He’s concerned about the welfare of a majority of Americans, not the overreactions of a well-heeled minority. If Trump succeeds – the bet here is he will – then more of the American pie will be shared with a greater number of Americans, not just a privileged few.

Trump’s aim with trade and tariffs is, yes, reciprocity – meaning, hammering out fair trade agreements with other nations. High tariffs by other countries on U.S. products and services are protectionist measures. Those must go, for starters.

Not all Trump’s tariffs are meant only to level the playing field.

The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has been abusing the “free trade” system put in place in the 1990s and early 2000s. China’s economy is built around cheap exports. Off-shoring American manufacturing has been a boon to China and U. S. manufacturers who are always looking to cut costs. Consumers have benefited by cheaper prices, too. But U.S. workers and small businesses – the latter being the engine of economic growth – haven’t.

Trump wants to restart the manufacturing engine here. Some tariffs are good in that they incentivize manufacturers overseas to build facilities here. It also incentivizes existing U.S.-based manufacturers and start-ups. That’s more jobs for more Americans. It will eventually result in competitive pricing – in other words, affordable – products and services, made domestically. More jobs, rising wages, and decreasing costs are goals.

Speaking of China, Trump’s tariff strategy is about more than economics. It’s about national security. Why do we want so much of what we consume in the hands of Xi Jinping and his communist cabal? We’re talking about medicines, steel, computer technology – the list is long. China also steals our technology and as much commercial and military intellectual property as it can.

China’s media is full bellicose threats of war with us. Xi’s Belt and Road initiative isn’t just about seeking economic advantages. It’s about choking off rare minerals and other resources that our evolving AI-tech economy needs.

When it comes to Chinese “management” of the Panama Canal, the PRC means to dominate that critical link between the Atlantic and Pacific. In time of war, that has profound commercial and military implications. Trump is in the process of ending China’s presence in Panama and its control of the Canal.

The broader economic program that Trump is pursuing involves making tax cuts permanent, slashing red tape, taking an ax to big government (DOGE is on that), and giving entrepreneurs and independent contractors the incentives they need to let their ideas, dreams, and work ethics take off.

Trump will succeed because World War II and the Cold War are long over. The post-Cold War world is played out. Trump sees the rot, unfairness, inequities, and growing failures of the system. His is a quest for an historic reset. I’m not being being Pollyanna. Bumps and disruptions along the way? Of course. But I’ll trust Trump’s experience, savvy, steely will, and business track record. He’s leading us into a new era – brighter and better for tens of millions of Americans.

The Dems Show Us Who They Are

By Rob Meyne

  • March 6, 2025
  • 2-min read

If you just pay attention, people will tell you what they care about. Congressional Democrats showed us this week.

President Trump’s speech this past Tuesday, was one of the more significant, impactful, and definitive messages ever delivered by a president.

News organizations conducted surveys following the speech. CBS found that 77% of those who watched it said they were very or somewhat positive about it. The number from CNN (both leftist news outlets) was 69%.

Yet Congressional Democrats could not applaud or stand in support of a single major issue or statement. Not. One.

Dems would not support a bill to require removing illegals who have committed a crime. They oppose banning men from competing in women’s sports. They do not want a secure border. They support race-based preferences mandated under the banner of DEI. They oppose voter id, support 9-month abortions, and love war. They want continued fighting, spending (money laundering), and death in Ukraine.

President Trump’s positions on each of those issues enjoys support in the range of 75 – 80%. They are not interested in solutions or finding common ground. Today’s Democrat leadership is interested in dividing us and clinging to power. They know that Trump’s efforts to reduce the size of government, save money, and reduce the bureaucracy are a threat to their power.

They are not on your side.

Things change, and Trump has challenges ahead, no doubt. And the Dems are nothing if not ruthless and power hungry.

But for today, if you support common sense approaches that will make America safer, freer, and more prosperous, you are on the right side of history. The Democrats – their leadership, more specifically – are against everything a majority of Americans favor.

Congressional Democrats couldn’t even stand in support of a child that beat cancer, a woman who was seriously injured by a man playing om a woman’s volleyball team, or the family of a young lady killed by a person who is here illegally.

Laken Riley died because, and only because, the Biden Administration literally flew a plane to Europe and brought a convicted criminal here and set him loose. She would be alive today if not for Biden and the Democrats.

They. Are. Not. On. Your. Side. Trump is.

You may not like Trump’s style or combativeness – that is a conversation we could have – but if you don’t believe in the majority of his policies you are out of step with most Americans. This is his time. This is our time. There is a lot of history to be written, but today we have more reason to be optimistic than at any time in the last five years.

Keep the faith. Enjoy the ride. And don’t be ashamed to love your country or its president.

Cheers.

Bongino’s Appointment at the FBI Means No Prisoners Taken

By J Robert Smith

  • Feb. 25, 2025
  • 2- min read

On Monday, we learned that Dan Bongino was named deputy director at the FBI. He’ll report to Kash Patel, who was confirmed by the Senate last week. Patel and Bongino will make a dynamic duo. Yep, just like Batman and Robin. The lawbreakers at the FBI should be lawyering up – if they haven’t done so already.

In nominating Patel and appointing Bongino, Trump has kept another promise. He’s going outside of DC’s blue suits for these critical jobs. Patel and Bonigino have a simple mission: Clean out the FBI and make it a bona fide federal law enforcement agency tasked with pursuing real bad guys, like cartel honchos, drug gangs, spies, white collar criminals, and assorted homegrown bad guys.

The FBI is riddled with corruption. The worst of it started at the top and filtered down through the ranks. Former directors James Comey and Chris Wray were complicit in the corruption. And it wasn’t garden variety corruption, like bad cops taking payoffs and shaking down drug dealers. It’s political corruption, in that the FBI served as a strongarm for Democrats and the DC establishment. They’d become a version of the East German Stasi. The FBI went after the establishment’s enemies, most conspicuously, Donald Trump.

It can’t be stressed enough how dangerous it is for a law enforcement agency – guys with guns – acting as the cat’s paw for powerful political interests in Washington, D.C. The FBI wasn’t just loosed on Trump and his circles, but on people who peacefully oppose abortion. Sending a SWAT team to knockdown pro-life advocate Mark Houck’s door at the crack of dawn in January 2023, terrorizing his children, demonstrated the level of thuggery that Wray and his deputies were willing to permit. To his immense credit, Trump has pardoned 23 pro-life protestors. Congressional Republicans need to repeal the vile FACE Act, which grants the DoJ and FBI the power to prosecute peaceful pro-lifers.

Bongino’s pedigree is impressive. He has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and an MBA. He’s run for Congress three times, coming close to being elected once. His five-day a week radio show and podcast are category leaders. He’s also a successful entrepreneur and investor (he has a stake in Rumble, notably).

Most importantly, Bongino is no stranger to law enforcement. He was an NYPD officer for seven years and a U.S. Secret Service agent for nine years. Notably, as a Secret Service agent, he provided protection for Barack Obama.

Patel and Bongino are kick ass guys. Their tenures at the FBI won’t be about cutting deals and trimming. Expect long overdue, wholesale changes. If they succeed, it’ll prove a brighter day for our rights and liberties. And a safer day for us. But a bad day for the bad guys.

The Rise of Big Cojones

So, the fake feminists on CNN made an issue out of a 19-year-old tech whiz aiding Elon Musk in ferreting out waste and corruption in the federal government – not that any exists. All right, it exists. And we’re only beginning to see the scope of the profligacy and crime.

USAID is the first agency to have it’s ledgers and payment channels subject to whiz kids working with algorithms, and whatever else that’s beyond my pay grade, to uncover not only waste, not only fraud, but expenditures of U.S. taxpayer money in the many tens of millions of dollars to support bizarre woke ideological schemes across the globe. The cultists joined forces with the usual group of DC lifers to fleece the American people. Never mind that the federal government is closing in on $37 trillion in debt. So-called progressives, DC lifers, and their allies need to get rich – though we’re ceaselessly told that the rich are evil and the source of the world’s woes. Apparently, some types of rich are okay with our progressive superiors.

Here’s the skinny. USAID will prove to be merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to hoodwinking and bleeding taxpayers of their hard-earned money. When all is said and done, hundreds of billions of dollars in waste and fraud will be revealed thanks to Big Balls and guys like him.

The evolving Democrat and corporate media spin is that Elon Musk is running things in the Trump administration. That’s a curious charge in that mere days ago most DC lifers and corporate media propagandists (we know they are because an outlet like Politico is receiving $8 million in “subscriptions” for Uncle Sam in USAID monies) charged that Trump was a dictator. Most have said he was the second coming of Hitler. But now 47 is just Musk’s puppet. But don’t hold leftists and lifers and propagandists to account for past statements. They’re very much into burying the past in Orwellian memory holes.

DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) has a chance to not only smash the network of parasites getting rich off our tax dollars, but ending the use of taxpayer money to advance the left’s evil and weird ideology. Good to see the rise of Big Balls.

A President Keeps His Promises

By Rob Meyne

  • Jan. 26, 2025
  • 4- min read

As political commentators, reporters, and average people see President Trump taking quick action to turn the country around, their sense of astonishment and incredulity is palpable. Many talking heads could be seen literally speechless, their mouths hanging open, as they try to process the reality that President Trump is actually doing the things he said he would.

It does not say good things about our nation that people are surprised when politicians don’t lie. Usually, you can tell they are lying just by noting whether their lips are moving.

The corporate media, leftists, and anti-Trumpers have pushed some “Big Lies” for so long that many Americans take them as gospel. Among the accusations is that Donald Trump is somehow less honest than his predecessors and peers. It is crap. And it always has been.

Biden lied more before breakfast (which for him was about noon) than Trump does all day. The issue isn’t whether Trump ever prevaricates – he is human, and humans lie – but whether he does so regarding issues of greater import, or does so more often, than the presidents to whom we have become accustomed.

Perhaps even more importantly, the whole federal government has demonstrated, repeatedly, that you can’t believe them. If the government says something is true it doesn’t necessarily prove it isn’t, but it does move it to the top of the list of things you’d better verify for yourself.

Lying by government has become the raison d’etre of their existence. The priorities for today’s bureaucracies are, first, to preserve their jobs and expand their power. The second, concomitant justification for their existence is to promote the prevailing public narrative, as promoted by the top executive currently in power, to curry favor from them. If you agree you get pats on the head, raises, bigger budgets, and promotions. Virtually the entire federal government does not primarily exist to serve the people; it exists to protect their jobs.

When an EPA scientist or NOAA official looks at global warming/climate chance, what do you think they find? Of course! They say climate change is bad, it is getting worse, and we must give the government more of our money and our freedom. It is like asking a corrupt mechanic if you need your can repaired. You’ll be lucky if they say all you need is an oil change, and not a completely new transmission!

One of President Trump’s first Executive Orders was to stop the continuing, widespread government censorship of individuals and organizations in the guise of fighting disinformation. If you haven’t figured it out yet, the only accurate definition of disinformation is that it is information of which the government doesn’t approve. Disinformation is often true, but the folks in charge don’t like it. And government is the biggest source of disinformation, by far.

The CDC told us Ivermectin doesn’t help fight COVID, then later admitted it does. They laughed at people who endorsed it, calling it a horse dewormer (it is one of the most widely prescribed human drugs). How many lives might have been saved if they had told the truth? We’ll never know. But it is inarguable that there is human blood on the hands of the people who suppressed the truth, among them Biden and Anthony Fauci. No wonder Biden pardoned Fauci.

Governmental falsehoods about the effectiveness of masks or the safety of “vaccines” were also damaging. Lives have been lost because bureaucrats lied. The incidence of heart problems has grown dramatically among Americans because of the use of untested vaccines.

Note: none of the COVID vaccines have been fully tested and approved by the FDA. None. Not. One. They are approved only for emergency use.

We’ll be looking at some of President Trump’s most important Executive Orders in the weeks to come. For now, it strikes us that none may be more important than the effort to stop government censorship. Every autocratic, dictatorial, and fascist regime in world history depended on censorship to preserve its power. The U. S. government has itself gone too far down that road, and we hope and pray that the new Administration will be able to reverse that sad trend.

The American people deserve to hear the truth. And, yes, the truth shall make you free.

A Better Name than “Gulf of America”

By J. Robert Smith

  • Jan. 21, 2025
  • 2-min read

President Donald Trump has decided to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.” I kinda like the old name, not because I’m a fan of what Mexico is. I’m just an old dog set in his ways.

Mexicans are a good people stuck with a very corrupt government. That’s been the case forever, unfortunately. The latest chapter in this story of corruption is the cartels, which are really paramilitary outfits melded with crime mobs. The cartels are the devil’s spawn. They peddle drugs — fentanyl is a cheap, easy to smuggle, and potent killer. They traffic in children and women. That’s mostly sex slavery. That’s hellish depravity. Cartel gangsters will kill anyone who even looks at them crosswise.

Mexican cartels buy politicians or intimidate or kill the honest ones. The cartels control the U.S.-Mexican border. Biden’s handlers didn’t seem to care. They were in bend over and take it mode. Their aim was to flood the nation with millions of illegals. They succeeded. Among those hordes are gangbangers, cartel soldiers, child molesters, murderers, rapists, drug peddlers, the diseased, enemy nation saboteurs… the list goes on.

President Trump just signed executive order designating the cartels terrorist organizations means that the U.S. can take the gloves off, meaning that the U.S. military can weigh in. Me, I’d set special forces lose on the cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth. I’d demand a treaty from the Mexicans giving the U.S. right to operate a couple of miles past the border. That would be a no-go zone for any cartel desperadoes who weren’t eliminated in earlier sweeps.

I believe President Trump has something like I’ve outlined in mind. Yes, Trump will double down on building the Wall, but a wall does only so much. High tech surveillance and weaponry does so much. Knocking out the cartels needs to be a critical part of the mix.

So, what does this have to do with the Gulf of Mexico America? If Trump succeeds in securing the border, walloping the cartels, and removing millions of illegals, then he deserves the Gulf named for him.

Let there be a future “Gulf of Trump.”
