GOP Anti-Trumpers Look More Foolish All The Time

By Rob Meyne

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.

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.

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.”

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.

How Trump Beat the Margin of Theft

By J Robert Smith

  • Nov. 7, 2024
  • 2-min read

How many of us expected the trouncing that President-elect Donald Trump administered to Kamala Harris? Okay, so the trends were good leading up to Trump’s win, but not many people foresaw the excrement-kicking Trump dealt Kamala. Trump is only the second president in history who’ll serve nonconsecutive terms – Grover Cleveland is the other. For presidential history buffs, that’s remarkable. But Trump is more than Cleveland could ever imagine on multiple levels. He’s had to run a gauntlet of biblical dimensions. He’s withstood malicious prosecutions, two assassination attempts, a corporate media and Democrats who never missed an opportunity to slander him as Hitler or a would-be dictator. If you don’t think there’s a God, think again.

Long before Tuesday’s elections, the consensus among conservatives and Trump backers was that for Trump to win, he’d have to “beat the cheat” – or perform better than the “margin of theft.” If you look at the totals and Trump’s margins of victory in the battleground states, his margins were tight, except for Arizona, where, at this writing, he enjoys about a five percent margin between Harris and himself. If Trump failed to perform better than the margin of theft but still won a resounding victory, how did he accomplish that?

Here are four reasons to consider:

1. In the aftermath of the highly suspect Biden victory in 2020, conservative alternative media and citizen journalists made the rigged 2020 election an unrelenting focus. The information, data, and analyses generated by these cadres spread to audiences throughout the country.
2. Such effective jobs were done in reaching audiences that a third or better of the public were convinced that cheating impacted the outcome of the Biden-Trump contest.
3. In many, though not all, battleground states, efforts were made by governors and state legislatures to reform election laws aimed at tightening ballot security. Lawsuits were filed as required. Georgia suffered the loss of the 2021 MLB All-Star game because of election reforms passed by the Georgia legislature.
4. The 2024 Trump campaign, and then the Republican National Committee (RNC), under the leadership of Lara Trump and Michael Whatley, dedicated resources to deploy an army of election watchers and lawyers to aggressively challenge any irregularities encountered. Grassroots groups weighed in, too. Thousands of eyes watching elections in swing states made it clear that election officials and workers would be held civilly and criminally liable for wrongdoing.

What Happened to Biden’s 2020 Voters?

Take a look at this bar-graph from zerohedge comparing presidential vote totals from 2012 through 2024. The outlier, as anyone can see, is Biden’s 2020 total. This certainly doesn’t prove cheating but it does raise the question: “Where did Biden’s voters go?”

Where did Biden’s voters vanish to this election? Or did they really ever exist?

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

By Rob Meyne

  • Oct. 30, 2024
  • 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.

Why Hasn’t She Done It?

By J Robert Smith

  • Sept. 13, 2024
  • 2-min read

It would have been so much better had Donald Trump’s closing remarks in last Tuesday’s presidential debate been his opening remarks. Why? Because Trump framed his fight against Harris powerfully. Asked the former president about Harris’ nearly four-year nonperformance: “Why hasn’t she done it?” That is, fix the problems she claims she’ll fix now – problems created by Biden-Harris.

Trump lost some traction coming out of Tuesday’s debate because, although Harris’ remarks came across as canned, she did succeed in making Trump the issue. Any election with an incumbent is supposed to be a referendum on the incumbent. That’s particularly true with Kamala Harris, who lacks the personal attributes to serve in the highest office, and as the “Harris” in the Biden-Harris administration is responsible for the woes that millions of Americans are experiencing – and will experience more deeply if Harris assumes the presidency.

The good news is that Trump has time to turn the tables. He needs to ask his question at every rally and in every interview he gives. His advertising needs to hammer away at it too. And it wouldn’t hurt to close this election with Regan’s memorable question: “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”

Trump will be Trump, of course. He likes to riff. He tends to be too defensive, and spends more time explaining why he did what he did. But this election isn’t about Trump – or shouldn’t be. It’s about the struggles that tens of millions of working and middle-income wage earners are experiencing. It’s about Biden-Harris deliberately throwing open the southern borders to permit millions of illegals to enter. It’s about spreading crime. It’s about historic government and private sector corruption. It’s a bout the prospect of major war with Russia, China, or both. It’s about the future, which is shaky as hell thanks to Biden-Harris’ wretched leadership.

Trump, always the promoter and marketer, should brand merchandise and signs with “Harris: Why hasn’t she done it?” His ads should feature the question. Saturate it. And Trump should never leave a rally or interview having not asked that very potent question.

It’s a question that practically answers itself, and it’s a question Kamala Harris never wants asked.
