A President Keeps His Promises

By Rob Meyne

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.

America’s Stasi Must Go

By Rob Meyne

We want an FBI that is accountable, not independent.

Kash Patel lives here (Las Vegas, NV), we have met him a couple of times (we’re even FB friends), we have friends in common, and he will be exactly what is needed as Director of the FBI.

If you’ve been following the decline of the once-admirable law enforcement agency, you realize that Chris Wray and his sycophants have turned it into a threat to the nation they are supposed to serve.

Wray has covered up and withheld information from the public and Congress. He has ignored crimes committed by leftist protestors, such as the assault on the White House where a ton of police were injured, or the illegal harassment of SCOTUS justices. Yet he has prosecuted about a thousand people for their activities January 6, a majority of whom hurt no one and damaged no property.

Yes, anyone who attacked a police officer or broke a window deserves to be prosecuted. Grandmothers who simply walked around the lawn do not.

The FBI also claims it doesn’t know who brought cocaine into the White House, who built the gallows that were on the Capitol lawn January 6, who placed pipe bombs, or who leaked the SCOTUS decision on abortion. This just in: they are lying, or, alternatively, incompetent. In either case, they need to go.

The FBI denied for four years that they had operatives in the crowd on January 6, 2021. Now, they admit they did. They had more than 20 “Confidential Human” sources there. They play word games and try to conceal the truth by saying they didn’t have undercover agents in the crowd. Who cares what they call them? They had FBI employees undercover. And it is likely the Capitol Police, CIA, Secret Service, NSA, Homeland Security, etc., had people there too.

THAT is what an unaccountable FBI looks like. It is a threat to our freedom and the republic itself. The Chris Wray FBI would fit in perfectly in Iran. Not in the U.S.

Trump was injured in an assassination attempt in July. They have released almost no information about the shooter. Why? Probably because it shows he cooperated with either foreign actors or domestic agencies. If he was a lone shooter, a nut, a whacko who just tried to shoot Trump, you would know all about him.

If he was a right-wing terrorist and racist you’d know everything from his blood type to what size shirt he wore. They even cremated the shooter’s body three days after the assassination attempt, thus destroying key evidence. The only reason to rush the cremation was to cover up something.

Most importantly, don’t buy the BS that the FBI is supposed to be an independent agency. That is simply untrue. People who say that are either uninformed or intentionally misleading.

ALL of government is intended to be accountable to elected officials and ultimately the voters. The FBI isn’t supposed to be free of accountability and influence from the voters any more than the Social Security Administration, the Pentagon, or the Senate staff. ALL of government is intended to be managed and controlled by elected officials who are themselves accountable to citizens.

Like the idea of an “independent” FBI? How did independent police forces work out in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Kampuchea/Cambodia, or Iran? Do you want to live in fear that an unmoored FBI might knock on your door at 2 AM and drag you off to jail? That is what you get with an FBI that reports to no one. That is what we have now, actually. Do you like that? Neither do I.

Under Biden, the FBI has functioned as a political force pursuing and supporting Biden’s political goals. That is wrong. Biden is the first president to ever use all of the available judicial and police resources in a coordinated effort to keep his political opponents off the ballot and in jail. Fortunately, the effort has failed. The American people know the charges against Trump would not have been brought against anyone else. Their cases have all fallen apart, and the people pursuing them – like Fani Willis in Atlanta – have proven to be corrupt and immoral trash.

Fortunately, most Americans saw through it. Everyone who isn’t a leftist/socialist/anti-Trumper recognizes bias and incompetence when they see it.

And, yes, quite a few people who thought they would ever vote for Trump, for anything, realized he was the better choice in 2024.

America has rejected the police state tactics of Biden and Harris. Trump has pledged to put people in charge – people like Kash Patel – who won’t let it happen again.

Rather than being a threat to our republic, Trump is poised to be the person who saves it.

Our duty is to hold Trump and his team accountable for doing the things they said they will. For the first time in at least four years, we have a president who publicly acknowledges the freedoms we have lost and is committed to restoring them.

Thank God.

The Truth Benefits Trump and America

By Rob Meyne

The few days following an election are traditionally a time of decompression, good will, and commitment to finding common ground. Trump and Biden seem to be doing their parts. The uproar from leftists, media, and many anti-Trumpers, however, has been less reserved.

If you listen to Biden’s statements, his message is essentially that people say a lot of bad things during a campaign but, after it is all over, we really can get along. Two days after Harris got trounced, Biden was smiling and said, “We’re going to be ok.” Two days earlier everyone on his side was saying Trump would be the end of democracy. Obviously, he didn’t mean it or believe it.

It was pure campaign hyperbole and vitriol. It is sad that millions of people are terrified of the many things Democrats said in the 2024 campaign are just not true. Democrats portrayed 2024 as a last fight for democracy. As the current Democrat president indicates, it wasn’t true, and he knows it.

Having lost badly in a democratic election, many Dems are saying they will do everything they can to oppose Trump. He was the winner and the best thing for the country would be to find common ground. Their hatred of Trump is greater than their love of country. They show no sign of goodwill, reaching out, or coming together.

The governors of Illinois and California, to name two, have marshaled resources to oppose Trump in whatever unnamed horrible things he is supposedly planning on doing. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who looks in a mirror and always sees a future president, has called for a special session of the California legislature to prepare for, well, he doesn’t exactly say. He wants to be ready for the terrible attacks Trump is planning, whatever they may be.

I am reminded of a few anti-Trumper friends and ex-friends who have been saying for nearly a decade that Trump is evil. He will ruin America. They always talk about the horrible things he WILL do, but it never happens. Trump did not strip women of their rights, try to put people of color in camps, or round up and imprison journalists or people of color, and he has no plans for it. Yet they keep saying it. Like Chicken Little, they say the sky is falling. But it hasn’t yet. Every day the credibility of the left is reduced. More people are catching on. That is one thing that explains the record level of support Trump got from Black and Hispanic Americans.

The entirety of the leftist/anti-Trumper narrative is that he WILL be a threat to America even though he has been president once and the nation was demonstrably better off for it.

Under Trump, unemployment and inflation were low, we were not involved in any new wars, we were energy independent, gas was cheap, and minorities enjoyed record low unemployment. Real incomes increased. All Americans got a tax cut. Importantly, real income grew at a faster rate for lower income Americans than for the richest among us, which is exactly the opposite of what Harris and company claimed.

That is the real Trump record. The left loses when people are better informed. Fortunately, the results of November 5 suggest at least some Americans are better informed than the anti-Trump crowd wants.

In the Weirdest Campaign On Record, the Best Decision is Still Obvious

By Rob Meyne

  • 5-min read

The campaign has entered its last week. One certainty is that historians, if there are any left allowed to think and speak freely, will look back at this as perhaps the most extraordinary American presidential election.

The party in power spent more than three years claiming their president was mentally competent and up to the job. They argued, in contradiction of all evidence, that Joe Biden was fit, energetic, quick, and logical. The completely worthless Joe Scarborough wanted us to believe that Biden did cartwheels down the hallways in the West Wing, while juggling chainsaws, translating the Washington Post into Aramaic, and calculating the square root of Pi in his head.

It was like everyone in the media and the Party claimed Jabba the Hut wasn’t really overweight. When Biden’s senescence became too clear to deny, in the June debate, they decided he had to go. It always strains credibility when someone who has been claiming one thing is true for years on end suddenly switches their story completely. “Joe’s just fine” became “he has to go.”

Notably, the furor within the Democrat Party revealed a lot about their priorities. The discussion from their leaders was entirely about how Biden’s frailty affected their campaign. Not one person in Democrat leadership ever spoke about the good of the nation. Not one leader ever made a substantial argument that Biden had to leave because it was risky for America, and the world, to have an incompetent person, non-compos menses, with his finger on the nuclear button.

No. They only had to shoot Biden because he would have trouble winning the campaign. They cared about their power, but not the nation’s well-being. As the Democrats claim they are only concerned about preserving democracy, that is worth remembering.

Biden, the candidate who won the open Democrat primary process, receiving 14 million votes, was unceremoniously tossed aside by a self-appointed elite group of Democrat leaders and their billionaire donors. The American leftist oligarchy didn’t even cling to a pretense of openness or fairness. They installed in the presidential race a woman who has never received a single vote for the presidency.

Nor has she distinguished herself professionally. When choosing her, Biden didn’t ever claim she was best qualified to be president. He said he selected her primarily based on her sex and race, rather than on merit. He said it. Believe him.

Then, she spent four years in the vice presidency earning notoriety only for her failure to achieve anything related to two subject areas of which she was in charge: bringing broadband to rural America and securing the border. She is without accomplishments in these or any other discernible areas.

Harris is running as BOTH the proud owner of the four years of the Biden-Harris Administration AND the person who represents change. It is like having El Chapo encourage you to go to rehab. It makes zero sense.

Donald Trump has, to the chagrin of a lot of former Republicans and Republicans in Name Only (RINOs), dominated the GOP for a decade. He is the most unlikely of conservative leaders and not someone whose appeal to the working man is easily explained. I guess if millionaires like Obama can lecture us that too many Americans are rich, Trump can appeal to the average voter in Terre Haute. We find our heroes where we can.

Another oddity from 2024 is the GOP nominee has been the target of two, “count ‘em,” two, assassination attempts, being shot in one and narrowly escaping the other. The FBI, Secret Service, and DOJ continue to tarnish their reputations through incompetence on the job and cover-ups and lies to Congress and the public.

If you believe anything the FBI tells you, at this point, you probably think Ed McMahon is still going to send you a sweepstakes check. The FBI has released little information about the assassin in PA, even though the dribs and drabs that have come out raise more questions than they answer.

As it stands, we are to believe that a 20-year-old punk, with no formal training, was able to construct explosive devices, operate encrypted phones, elude the most prominent executive protection service on the planet, and kill a bystander while almost killing, and injuring, a former president. All this more easily than you could get Hillary to take a bribe.

Trump’s record as president is sterling compared to Harris/Biden. No reasonable person would look at the economic, crime, immigration, health, drug, or foreign policy landscape and say, “at least it is better than under Trump.” You cannot factually make a reasonable argument for Harris over Trump. It can’t be done.

All you can do is pile on top of Trump’s existing flaws, real and imagined, and claim they disqualify him from consideration. Trump has deficiencies, certainly, but so does Harris. One must willfully ignore Harris’s record, positions, and foibles to argue that her opponent’s flaws make her the better choice.

No competitive election is ever a choice where only one side should be evaluated. Logical and factual electoral choices are made in the context of the alternatives. If they are not made that way, they are not logical or informed. Anyone who says they must vote against Trump regardless of the other option is not making an intelligent decision. That simple.

This year will answer the question of whether an incumbent president or VP of the following description can win the presidency: they have a dismal track record, no significant achievements, issue positions most Americans abhor, aren’t capable of doing mainstream interviews, and refuse to even hold a press conference.

Having spent her entire service as VP trashing half of America, and suggesting that anyone who raises information that is inconvenient to them should be censored, Harris is not credible presenting herself as a unifier.

As America has learned more about Harris, we have found there is very little “there” there. She is like a glass onion; every layer that is pulled away reveals more of the vacuity of her core.
There is a better alternative to Harris. There is not a perfect one, just one that is clearly preferable for the nation.

Democrats Depend on Monolithic Support from Minorities and Illegals

By Rob Meyne

Almost everyone likes to say we need to keep politics out of one thing or another. Which is certainly a nice sentiment. Rainbows and unicorns would be nice, too, but they aren’t reality.

It is good to operate in the real world. The truth is that all the major decisions that determine the circumstances of life are political. If you recall your political science, politics has been defined as the authoritative allocation of goods and services. In other words, what happens in our society is directed or at least affected by the laws, regulations, and mores under which we operate.

Every rule imposed on us that is enforceable by a court is provided by the political process. Even the decisions we feel like we control – what to eat, where to go to school, or how much to exercise – are made within societal and governmental guidelines that limit us or empower us, as the case may be.

That is, basically, why this author is a conservative. Which means voting Republican more often than not.

Nothing in the Democrat Party agenda makes us freer. It all makes government more powerful and richer. Think if you can come up with even a single component of the Harris campaign that makes government less rich, powerful, and coercive. Just. One. We won’t hold our breath.

The border is a disaster today completely because of political acts. On taking office, Biden and Harris reversed about 90 executive orders put in place by President Trump. Trump’s policies, including “remain in Mexico,” led to a more stable border with fewer Illegal crossings. And violent crimes committed by people who didn’t come here legally were fewer.

If the border is a humanitarian crisis, it is one that was created intentionally. Even Democrat House leaders and former presidents admit it. Representative Jerry Nadler, President Bill Clinton, and others don’t even bother to deny it.

Of course this is not a revelation to anyone who pays attention. Democrats wanted this crisis and made it happen. Why? They want the workers, the new voters, and the political power.

The border under Biden and Harris was deliberately opened to allow as many foreigners in as possible, as quickly as possible, in violation of the law, to swell the ranks of current and future voters. If you think Democrat leaders have suddenly in the past few years been overwhelmed by an epiphany of compassion, you must be drinking some of whatever Kamala seems to overindulge in.

A decade or less ago, everyone in Democrat leadership was opposed to illegal immigration. Obama, Clinton, and Schumer are among those who spoke eloquently on this. Then some demographic changes came along and Democrats realized they could stack the deck in their favor.

Traditional Democrat constituencies aren’t having babies at a high rate. Those groups are not growing. Many Democrat voting blocks are starting to look to the GOP. Time will tell, but many polls now show a majority of Hispanics support Trump. Black Americans are also apparently growing more favorable toward Trump, but, again, we will see.

Recognize the Democrat’s worst nightmare would be for Hispanic and Black Americans to vote guided by informed and independent thought.

The Democrats have become largely the party of elites: corporate CEOs, Hollywood, Wall Street, the defense complex. Millionaires/Wall Street/High Tech give to Democrats today much more generously than to the GOP. It wasn’t always the case.

Democrats used to portray themselves as the party of free speech, peace, and working people. Today, the roles have completely flipped. Republicans are the party of free speech, enjoy broad blue collar support, and are actively trying to disengage in wars.

When Black voters deign to exercise independent thinking, or (shudder) vote Republican, they are vilified and called Uncle Toms, and worse, by the Dem leadership. The lesson: Democrats love Black people as long as they stay in their place and do what they are told.

Barack Obama has lectured, insulted, and criticized Black men for not supporting Harris. Obama’s lesson is that Black men are misogynist and hateful if they DON’T vote for a candidate because of their sex. Obama wants Black men to fall in line and do what they are told. Fortunately, there are a ton of smart, independent Black men who don’t want to be told what to do.

It does not mean you are rational, principled, and well-informed if you vote for or against someone because of their sex. In fact, it shows just the opposite.

The border crisis Harris and Biden created gives Democrat leaders and their donors cheap labor, illegal votes, and likely future voters.

If Kamala wins and takes both houses, non-citizens will be given immediate amnesty and citizenship. Game, set, match. Millions of new Dem voters will spring up overnight, changing the electoral composition of the nation forever.

Consider the Democrats have also pledged to pack the court, eliminate the filibuster, give DC and PR statehood, and we’ll never have another competitive election. The deck will be stacked in favor of the Democrats for our lifetimes and beyond.

Yes, the border is a political issue. As is everything else.

Trump is our best hope of saving our republic. If Trump wanted to be a dictator, he would have done it when he had the chance. He did not.

In the last four years, we have seen Democrats use the courts to stop their political opponents, including those within their own party. Only one party wants a functioning “democracy” with an informed and free-speaking citizenry, and it isn’t the Democrats.

Democrats are the Anti-Democratic Party of Election Deniers

By Rob Meyne

  • Oct. 14, 2024

Many of the common beliefs driving today’s political events are based on things that are simply not true. Unfortunately, the mainstream media promotes them non-stop, and it is easier to accept them than to do your homework.

Most notably, it is not true that Trump is a unique threat to our system of government. He is not alone in fighting to win the election using every legal avenue possible.

He has never been convicted of a single illegal act regarding the election. Not one. Democrats have charged him with crimes, many unrelated to the election, and those cases are slowly falling apart. No reasonable person believes the charges raised against him are driven by anything but political interests.

He has not been convicted of doing anything illegal regarding the 2020 election. Nor has a single piece of evidence been offered – not one – that he directed any violent efforts on January 6 or that there was a plan to prevent a vote by electors. (If you think there is proof of that, send it my way. I won’t hold my breath.) Again, NO such evidence exists. That is why neither he, nor anyone else, has even been charged with insurrection. Yet the media (and many of you) claim it to be true.

He is not the first to go to court, try to make sure all his votes are counted, or that they were cast legally and constitutionally, or to show the media and governmental agencies conspired to keep information from voters. In fact, we know the FBI, among others, interfered with social and traditional media to make sure they buried stories that could have hurt Biden and helped Trump. The FBI had Hunter’s laptop and knew it was real, contained evidence of potential crimes by the Biden’s, and kept the information from the voters. THAT ALONE is reason to justify the statement that the 2020 election was unfair, corrupt, and that federal agencies interfered with it.

The Democrat Party has challenged the results of EVERY presidential election they lost this century. Democrats have claimed the elections were stolen, encouraged electors to change their votes, have challenged nearly every effort to secure our elections, and even tried to get a national law that would prohibit asking for vote ID. In California, the Democrat governor has forbidden localities from requiring voter ID.

In the meantime, there is a nationwide effort, funded by the Harris campaign, Democrat voters, the DNC and leftist groups, to challenge a Trump win. They have already prepared, and in some cases filed, actions to challenge the 2024 election results IF Harris loses. Marc Elias is the single most prominent election denier in America, and Harris’s legal chief. He has made a fortune by challenging free and fair elections, and he isn’t shy about it.

If you are one of those who truly believes Trump tried to “overturn” an election and the other party never does is either willfully uninformed or bigoted. Sorry. Just the facts. If you value your citizenship, care about your families, and love this country, it is time to rethink your pre-conceived notions and vote for the person with the track record who did the better job as president.

He had four years to try to be a dictator and did not. Harris had four years to try to solve our problems and only made them worse. It is not hard to make the right decision.

Below if one article about the Democrat efforts to challenge the 2024 election if they lose it, including a few points showing where they have done so before. The Democrats are ALREADY planning to challenge this election based solely on whether they win.

With apologies, if you believe the Democrats are on the side of democracy, and the GOP is not, you have drunk the leftist Kool-Aid. This is a new year, a new election, and a new opportunity to help save the nation.

Time for Courage

As the presidential campaign accelerates, let’s have a reality check.

Either Harris or Trump will be inaugurated president in 2025. Don’t like your choices? Neither do a lot of people. But those are the options. Put on your big girl panties and get over it.

Some ostensibly Republican conservative voters say they’ll come back to the GOP when Trump is gone. Clue phone, and it’s for you: the damage that four more years of Harris would do is far more important than whatever you think of the party. Put America first, not either party. If you do that, you’ll vote for Trump.

Harris is basically a socialist, and certainly proposes socialist policies. Trump is a conservative constitutionalist.

Trump is the more moderate of the two candidates, by far.

Trump was president for four years, in which time we had record low unemployment, low inflation, a more secure border, growing real personal income, and no new wars.

Under Harris, we have had nearly four years of record inflation, sky high drug overdoses, an open border with an epidemic of crimes by illegal aliens, America deep into two new wars, and she promises to pack the court, kill the filibuster, and add new states to boost Democrat power.

If you have trouble deciding which candidate is better for America – or think genitalia and skin color should determine your vote – God help us all.

Only one candidate can be considered a constitutional conservative. Your choices are these: vote for a person you dislike who did a good job as president. Or vote for a person you may or may not like who has done a terrible job.

One succeeded. The other did not.

For nearly a decade, I have watched former Republicans and conservatives drop out, check out, and divorce themselves from either the Party or politics in general. Astonishingly, thousands of these people across the country have convinced themselves this shows their honor and decency.

It shows just the opposite.

If you brag that you’re not going to vote Republican as long as Trump is involved with the party, you are by definition making the party the focus of your decision. I honestly don’t care what party Trump is affiliated with. If he was a Reformed Druid Baptist running against a committed leftist, and he had the best chance of beating them, I would vote for him.

Focus on the Party and you’ll get caught up in 3 AM dorm room-level discussions. Focus on what is best for the country, and the decision comes easily.

This just in: NO ONE CARES what you think about the parties. There is no such thing as a protest vote. There are just people without the courage to take a stand. If you oppose Trump, even though you do not favor socialism, it means your commitment to the good of the country is less important than virtue-signaling and being a part of the self-righteous, smug anti-Trump crowd.

Do you really think it is in the best interests of the country to have a president with Harris’s gross incompetence and socialist positions? Make the case. Go ahead. Convince us that is best for the country. Unless you are a socialist, you can’t.

It takes zero courage to turn your back on a party or a candidate when it is the popular thing to do. Courage is not usually found among the group of people standing at the side and making fun of someone.
Courage is found in sincere thought, facts, sound ideas, values, principles, and actions that back them up.

Hate Trump? Good for you. You’ll get a lot of self-congratulatory dithering from others who also haven’t the backbone to hang in for a tough fight.

I don’t know about you, but IF we lose, I will go down fighting. If we ever lose the country, it will be in spite of my best efforts. Quite literally, it may be over my dead body.

So you can choose. You can be courageous, strong, and patriotic, or you can hang out with the vacuous ciphers who pat each other on the back and claim they’re better than you are.

If You Vote On Issues, You Have Exactly One Defensible Choice

By Rob Meyne

  • Aug. 31 2024

A recent article from a North Carolina columnist sums up the views of many anti-Trumpers.

His arguments are well-worn and widely accepted, but so are a lot of things that don’t rely on facts.

Tom Campbell has written a lot of good columns. His latest is not one of them. (His work can be found by searching for Tom Campbell & North Carolina.) His basic point: “Trump sucks,” (not his exact words), so how can anyone support him?

The author’s tactic is typical of those used by many politicians, commentators, and average people; attack the person, not the policy. If the left/media (but I repeat myself) can convince you that Trump is a threat to the nation, and people who support him are mindless zombies who worship him, they don’t have to discuss policy. This is very convenient for people who have records that are difficult to defend, or who are running against a president under whom America did well. That summarizes the 2024 election.

Biden and Harris have been a disaster. Harris and Walz favor Marxist policies, which threaten our freedom and economic strength. And most Americans realize Trump performed well as president, even if they don’t like him.

The ONLY tactic that is likely to succeed against Trump is to claim he is so dangerous literally a threat to the survival of the nation, while avoiding discussing issues, and lying when forced to confront your record.

Every time someone says YOU are a mindless cultist, what it really means is they can’t explain why they support Harris. Count on it. As has been said many times, in general, leftists win by lying, conservatives win when they tell the truth.

Campbell writes that Trump’s commitment to making America great again is “all show.” Apparently, he can read minds and possibly predict the future. Remind me to ask him what the next winning lottery number will be.

Trump entered politics as a rich, famous, successful employer in the private sector. He had taken a small family business and built it into an iconic global brand. Leading Democrats – Harris, Biden, Clinton, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer – spent all or most of their lives on the public dime and grew rich through selling influence and insider training.

Trump also delivered policies that helped mainstream Americans. If that is “all show” I’ll take it.

Trump’s personality, combativeness, and pettiness are a turn-off for many people. We get it. The question is what is most important to you? If it is more important to have a president who doesn’t send mean Tweets than, for example, to prevent nuclear war, then vote for Harris. If the future of the world is more important than personalities, vote for Trump. Decide what is most important and you’ll know what to do.

Campbell says, “And please help me understand why his cult seems willing to forgive his crimes, his outlandish conduct, absence of morality or his incessant lies and still pledge allegiance to him.”

Accusing people of “pledging allegiance to a candidate” is the accusation made by anti-Trumpers who can’t defend their policies and want to vilify you and me. When someone accuses you of being a cultist or of pledging allegiance to a person it proves they are, themselves, bigoted. They accuse you of doing what they are doing.

Dumping Biden Shows Which Party Doesn’t Give a Flip About Democracy

The Dems appear to be coalescing around Kamala. THIS is their best hope? I was happy to see Trump run against Biden, but if it can’t be him, Kamala is maybe the weakest replacement they could choose for him.

Again, the leadership of the national Dems – led, apparently, by Pelosi – have just given a big middle finger to every Democrat voter and to the whole democratic process. They rearranged primary dates to help Biden, kept others off of the ballot, denied Secret Service for Kennedy, tried to throw Trump off of state ballots, tried to put Trump in jail, and now have thrown away and semblance they may once had had of caring about democracy. They are vicious and playing for the highest stakes on the planet. There is quite literally NOTHING they could do that would surprise me.

Many folks will just vote for Harris based on race or gender, of course, and that is sad. But a GOP wouldn’t get those votes anyway.

Remembering Kamala, in no particular order:

ANY attack on Kamala will be called racist and misogynist. That will be their go-to. If Harris robs a bank, and is recorded in the process, and you mention it, you’ll be accused of being racist. Write it down.

Name one significant Harris achievement? Right. We can’t think of one, either.
She ran for president in 2020 and got zero votes and zero delegates.
She openly described Biden, accurately, actually, as a racist.
She was assigned the job of securing the border. It is today a complete disaster.
She got her first jobs in politics by sleeping with an older, married, powerful man. That probably doesn’t disqualify her, but certainly isn’t a plus. If you have a daughter, think about what you’ll tell her when, one day, she says “Why is it ok for Kamala Harris to use sex to get ahead but not for me?” Good luck with that.

Harris is a liar. She has contended for years that Biden is active, clear headed, and effective. That was a lie. Biden, as those of us who have been watching knows, didn’t suddenly decline into senility in the past three weeks.

Harris was a fraud as a prosecutor. She plead out a ton of cases to be able to claim she had a good conviction record. And she withheld exculpatory evidence in some cases.

She has actively supported, and helped to fund the defense of, people who committed acts of violence, arson, and even murder. She raised money for a bail fund that covered fees for hundreds of people who were part of the 2020 riots, which were the longest, most numerous, most expensive, and deadly in American history.

She cannot put together a coherent sentence on many occasions. The term “word salad” is often used to describe her speeches, and it is justified.
Of course, she has also trashed families of white people who had ancestors that held slaves. Unfortunately for her, her own family includes slave owners from Jamaica. Whoops.

Harris is NOT stupid, however, and very ruthless and ambitious.

There is much more to be said about her. But the biggest problem she has is that the failed policies of Biden are now hers to own, as she was part and parcel of all of it.

But, if you support Trump or even just America, DON’T underestimate Harris. She can absolutely win. If the election is even close, it can be stolen.

This is no time for Republicans and patriots to become complacent. Work like your life depends on it. It does.

Now is the Time to Go All-in on Trump

Many people admire Donald Trump, while many hate him. How can so many presumably intelligent people view something so differently? The answer starts with these questions: what do you value; how much do you care about what happens in the country; how willing are you to express your opinion and listen to that of others; and how much effort do you make to be informed and rely on news sources that are reputable, reliable, and objective?

Do you just listen to MSNBC and read the NYT? Do you have the courage and energy to share your views, listen to others who share theirs, and be willing to learn and persuade in equal measure?

Most people don’t do those things. Many people go through their adult lives without giving ANY serious, objective thought to their values and political beliefs. It is certainly FAR easier to just tune out the information and the noise and quit thinking about it.

EXCEPT that it is the wrong thing for you and your family. And for mine, BTW. Pardon the bluntness, but if YOUR refusal to get engaged, and to get fair and accurate information, leads you to cast a vote that leads to a person getting elected who does things that put us in danger, well… YOUR actions, then, have hurt all of us. THAT is why I have limited patience for people who don’t think about, or learn about, politics.

What happens in this year’s presidential race affects all of us. When you make decisions that are based on inaccurate information, or popular narratives you have heard so often you assume they are true, it can lead to the election of, for example, someone who is pushing for war instead of someone who is an advocate for peace. You and your children could die in such a war. It is startling and shocking that millions of people vote based more on someone’s gender or skin color than on which candidate is more likely to lead us to a nuclear holocaust.

Decisions about politics are unlike most that you make. If you choose to bank at a particular place, vacation at a given place, or attend a specific church, it impacts you and you alone. But, what you do in regard to politics affects us all.

The underlying question is always one of what do you value? Do you place the highest value on freedom, safety, security, diversity, improving education, economic equality, or….what?

For me, freedom is the number one priority. I vote for the person and party that increases freedom, reduces the power of government, and celebrates individuals rather than groups. You may make other choices.

Which leads us to Trump. He did not have to run for president the first time. Or the second. Or now. He is a gazillionaire, married to literally a super model, in good health, and could have played golf and relaxed and helped his kids run their company. Instead, he has gone through hell.
