Personally, I do believe it is an op – that is, this bubbling controversy on the Right about our proper relation with Israel and our attitude towards the Jews. It is an op because it is out of character – the American Right has been the last bastion of Israel’s defense of decades. Since Obama came to power, no other political entity on Earth had stood steadfast in defending Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish State. Everyone else first abandoned Israel and then slipped, step by step, into the most disgusting forms of anti-Semitism. We did not – but now, quite suddenly, we’re being told that people who are “just asking questions” about Israel and the Jews are the leading lights of the Right and we must not shove them aside.

Nothing doing. This is clearly a Democrat effort to divide the Right and thus reclaim power. They want us fighting over the absurd arguments of anti-Semites rather than pursuing the actual enemy on the Left. That it is orchestrated by an increasingly vile and anti-Semitic Left is neither here nor there – we know the Left will always wipe its a** with its own flag at need. But it is revealing that those who are allegedly Right anti-Semites also follow other Left ideals…including hatred and contempt for Trump. Clearly these are people being paid to make their statements and they’ve been told – because the Left wouldn’t have it any other way – that they must spice their anti-Semitism with a dose of anti-MAGA into the bargain…to essentially get more people on board with opposition to MAGA. That is, to undermine the ability of Vance, DeSantis or whomever succeeding Trump in 2028.

Always keep in mind how much money is flowing out there to shape our politics. And it flows because with control of the US government comes control of $6.7 trillion. Trillion. Every year. And every year that amount grows. That much money is not a small thing – people have massacred whole populations to gain control of far less. Right now, those who did control it are watching it slip away, day by day, under Trump. They are deathly afraid that if things go on for eight or twelve more years they’ll be frozen out of it forever…and without a steady influx of government money, these people are cooked. They have no skills other than a shameless ability to lie and steal. They know nothing. They are incapable of the most basic tasks of human life. They would be seasonally employed agricultural laborers if it weren’t for government. They will leave no stone unturned to get back into control. Including fostering anti-Semitism on the Right – after all, what are the lives of the Jews of Israel compared to control of the Department of Education budget?

What I’m saying is that the voices allegedly on the Right calling on us to tolerate anti-Semitism, to condemn Trump for not doing this, that or the other thing at a certain speed are all paid shills…people who have struck a bargain with the Ruling Class: “pay me and I’ll sow division”.

We will not fall for it.

We defend Israel because it is the decent thing to do.

We avoid endless wars because they give us nothing.

We deport all the illegals because we can’t have a country if we don’t have a border.

We support tariffs because while trade is a boon, being stupid about it makes no sense.

We won’t play their game. Not any longer. We will not be deflected from MAGA. We are the good guys – indeed, we are the only good guys. Everyone else is sunk in sloth, atheism, cowardice and wicked lies. We will save the world, in spite of them. Nothing will stop us now.

That was posted just an hour ago on Trump’s Truth account. I think the man is serious.

And I also think his opponents still don’t understand him in the least. They don’t get that he’s actually a pretty smart guy – thinks strategically. Everything is planned in advance. There’s a script but Trump has the capability to ad-lib at need. Add to it his now ten years of experience in fighting the Establishment/Deep State and you’ve got quite the political force of nature here.

I work in my day to day with a bunch of very bright, young people. Seriously: one of my team members was born in 2005. They do give me a bit of hope for the future. To be sure, there is much they don’t know – the teaching of history is pretty much gone and the kids don’t get references to anything done before 2000 (“kids” meaning anyone born 1990 or later). But they are savvy – they do see through the various scams that have been laid on our society over the past few decades. They might not know the way out of the maze, but they know they’re in one. They were relentlessly propagandized growing up and now see it all for what it was – this, I’m assuming, is what is happening among this class of kids: those who are at work, earning their pay and building for a future. The kids who are still sitting around hoping that some Socialist will hand them a life are probably deeply sunk into the maze and comfortable there. I don’t know those kids – I do know these.

This is why, I think, a lot of youth is heading towards Trump and, by extension, the GOP…and pray to God we don’t betray their trust! They literally are the future – they’ll be there when we’re all in the ground. But Trump’s don’t-give-a-damn style appeals to them – because they don’t give a damn about the enforced Leftist piety we’re all supposed to adhere to or suffer social destruction. They just want to live their lives – they don’t care what a person’s color is or who they have sex with or if the guy wants to wear a dress…just live and let live. After a gap of 25 years, my generation (late Boomer to early X) has returned…essentially Libertarian in social desires but also no-nonsense about having to earn what you want. Trump is telling them, “you’re right: be free. Work. Build. Enjoy the ride!” and the youngsters are responding to it…far more than the GOPe’s “hey, lets bomb some people and lower taxes” or the Democrats “you’re all racists at heart” messages.

And it could end up rather surprising – one thing being noticed these days is a resurgence in religious belief among the young. Keep in mind: these are people born 1990 and later. They grew up in irreligious households. The entirety of pop culture was hostile to all traditional religious beliefs. Priests were all perverts, pastors all crooks. Religious people were all fanatics who wanted to kill everyone who didn’t believe. But out of this morass of Enemy propaganda there has emerged this strange flower…the rose of faith. It is still small…but it is growing rapidly. This was just last month:

Estimates of that crowd run towards a million – overwhelmingly young people. People born in the 21st century. There are more young Catholics in England than active members of the Church of England. The smaller Protestant churches continue to grow. People are starting to become unapologetic about announcing their faith.

I’m starting to be content – that is, sure in the knowledge that we really can’t lose. That no matter what the other side does, we’re going to win. Nobody believes in the Establishment except those paid to do so. Ten thousand shrieks for free trade or mass immigration are routinely revealed to be ten thousand bots in India. We’re winning – Trump has kicked in the door…the roaches are scurrying for cover and we’re on the march.

In a little bit of a follow up to the last post: people on our side are getting ok with responding to violence with violence. Even saw a guy on X who suggested flogging for the more minor offenders…including, outside politics, those who shoplift and such. This is the way we’re going to have to go. Mostly because just like those attacking ICE, it is the stupid people who shoplift and vandalize.

If you catch an 8 year old trying to lift a candy bar from the store you understand the whole sequence: he saw the candy bars. How many of them! It is just one. And, wow, a candy bar would be nice right now!

The 8 year old doesn’t understand the amount of labor that went into getting that candy bar onto the store shelf. How razor thin the profit margins are on each candy bar sold and how the owner of the store has to sell quite a lot of them just to make ends meet. And we don’t get too angry with the 8 year old – sure, some punishment is warranted – and must be done – but an 8 year old lacks the knowledge and wisdom necessary to fully understand the action taken.

By the time we’re talking about a 28 year old, a different set of parameters come in. To be sure, that 28 year old shoplifter or vandal still might not understand the full ramifications of what is being done – but if that is so, it just means our actions must be even sterner than we might initially contemplate. A 28 year old should fully understand it all – if a person after nearly three decades of life doesn’t understand it, then we’d better make darn sure that they at least understand risk/reward and how very, very painful its going to be if they get caught.

The bottom line is that someone stupid enough to steal from a store or think that ICE should be attacked isn’t someone you can reason with. Such people are all impulse and emotion. They should have been taught very young to control that sort of thing but they weren’t. In fact, here in 2025, they were more than likely taught that impulse and emotion are the way to go. That the whiny shout is how you get your needs met. In a lifetime of shouting and grabbing and having a temper tantrum they’ve never once met someone who will say “no” and make it stick. We’re going to have to do that.

Right now the DOJ is applying current laws to the problem – with some success. You might note that its been a while since a Tesla was set on fire. But I’m concerned this is mostly due to people finding out that Teslas have cameras all over the place – that they haven’t learned their lesson so much as just shifted their target…to now throwing rocks at ICE agents figuring that masks and numbers give a good shot at getting away with it. Plus the MSM Propagandists aren’t talking to much about Musk and DOGE of late and the target audience has the attention span of a gnat. I suspect we’re eventually going to be forced to extreme measures.

This is because illegal immigration is the lynchpin of the whole Leftist operation. This is why right now the Democrat-paid “MAGA” influencers are going ape about the Epstein issue. Which we all do care about very much and would like to see unraveled but everyone paying attention realizes that Trump really hit the nail on the head with his emphasis on illegal immigration. The Democrats would love to have us talking about anything else but immigration and would also love to get MAGA fighting itself over the Epstein case. But here’s something to chew on: Trump repeatedly promised to release the JFK, MLK and RFK files…but he didn’t actually get up there and make a specific promise regarding the Epstein files. He alluded to the issue, but it was never central to his transparency program. And, of course, file releasing of any type was never as big a Trump campaign issue as illegal immigration.

Why?

I think we were all a little blind on the matter – we were all just thinking it isn’t good to have millions of foreigners wandering around. We knew about lots of other things involved – for instance, I have repeatedly said that Cartel involvement (and bribery of US officials) is a major aspect of it all. But Trump made it very central and we’re just now starting to see why.

Announced today is the termination of a Clinton-era (!) program which allowed taxpayer funds to pay for trade school for illegal immigrants. Think about that for a moment…since Clinton we’ve been forking over money for illegal immigrants going to trade schools. When did this happen? When was it debated on? Passed through Congress? Why didn’t W stop it?

It just sort of happened – Clinton ordered it. No debate. The funding was just included – year after year – in those omnibus bills of thousands of pages. Did W even know of it? Did anyone other than the people involved in dispensing and receiving the money? Who the heck knows. Main thing, the money flowed out – and has been flowing out for decades. All based on a self-perpetuating Executive order by Bill Clinton. And then the light goes off in your head: how much of that money actually made it to helping Jose from Chiapas learn how to be a plumber? We Americans didn’t know about it – how in heck would an illegal immigrant know about it? Oh, sure, there were people enrolled and money was dispensed…but how much – what percentage of it – actually educated an illegal immigrant? What percentage just went to line the pockets of politically connected individuals? What percentage eventually wound up kicked back to the Cartels who traffic the people into our country?

Start to see it?

Trump didn’t just see the millions flowing across the border – huge as that issue is – he saw it as a gigantic system of misappropriating tax dollars into the pockets of the criminals and the connected (often same/same). Untold billions – probably trillions over the years – has gone through this. Money for “trade school” is only a small part of it but it just one of ten thousand spigots tapping into the US Treasury…and it all has become an ATM for lots of people…from Senators to Mexican drug lords. And they’re big mad that Trump is threatening the gravy train. Now we also see the connection to USAID – cuts to which sort of caught us all on the hop but Trump new all along what he was doing.

And this is why we’re probably going to have to get very stern – and I think we’ve got the stomach as a people to get that stern. People who have access to hundreds of billions of misappropriated dollars per year will not give up on that without a fight. They’re around the edges of violence right now…but if Trump keeps going, they will get actually violent, with the stupid being the cannon fodder. And so we’ll have to treat the stupid very, very harshly. Making up for what they lacked in childhood…someone to knock some sense into their heads.

The primarily don’t like Trump because he’s calling them idiots. Sometimes, because he’s Trump, directly, but even when he’s on his best behavior, his every action exposes them for the idiots they are. And it is infuriating to them.

You have to think about their world for a minute: they grew up in the system and the system taught them certain things as unquestionable dogma. This is how the world works and thus it ever shall be. Things like NATO, the UN, foreign aid, mass immigration, free trade…all dogmas defended as stoutly as any Christian will defend the Trinity…but with the difference that the Christian is defending a Mystery while the secular Establishmentarian is defending…merest opinion.

That is the thing, of course: what these people hold to be established fact which no educated person may question are just opinions. Often opinions which weren’t supported by the facts at their creation. But all rigidly enforced. William Manchester, liberal to the core, recognized what was happening in the 1970’s – that the age was becoming one of Liberal Bigotry…no thought, no questioning…just endless repetitions of received dogmas with the only change allowed being carrying it to the conclusion: that is, the bad idea morphs into the insane idea so lets have a 200 pound man compete against a 120 pound woman.

And the reason Liberal Bigotry has been sustained for so long is that for a very long time, it seemed to work. Heck, almost all of us on the Right were taken in by it. I used to defend NATO! I thought the FBI was a first-rate crime fighting outfit. I thought the schools were trying to educate. I figured our senior military officers were apolitical patriots only concerned with the defense of the nation. On and on like that…and it was all based, ultimately, on the fact that the Liberal order had won World War Two. Can’t emphasize enough how much that built up credibility for Liberalism. That plus the apparent cure of the Great Depression. Essentially, the Liberal order has been cruising on that since 1945.

But it never was what it seemed. As I’ve explained before, the Great Depression was the inevitable result of things that happened ten years previously: the massive destruction of global markets represented by the twin events of the First World War and the Spanish flu. Every economy was living on borrowed time starting in 1919…and the British economy slumped into de-facto depression by 1926: it was so bad by then that the British working class – especially the coal miners (then Britain’s basic industry) – called a general strike. The global economic contraction was ongoing…it hit America’s agricultural sector as early as 1921. The crash of the Stock Market in 1929 was merely a belated exposure of the underlying weakness…but even that wasn’t all of it. For instance, France didn’t tumble into Depression until 1931. But it was going to hit everywhere eventually. Nothing anyone did would either stop it or lessen its effects. The only thing anyone could do is make it worse – which is precisely what the governments of the world, including ours, started to do.

And it wasn’t the tariffs! In fact, what Britain should have done when their economy slumped in the mid-20’s was impose tariffs. As noted, their basic industry back then was coal…but the British Empire was being overrun by cheap coal from Germany, Poland and the United States. Think about it: the British controlled 1/4th of the world’s land mass and population. Coal was the basic motivator of industry at the time. If you wanted something to be done mechanically, coal had to be used – even if merely to generate the electricity you need for electrical machines. How could Britain’s coal industry slump when 1/4 of the world was their market? Because they were free traders! They allowed their basic industry – their working class – to be squeezed into poverty on the theory that India and Canada should be able to buy their coal from Germany. Insane! And Britain, like the rest of the world, opted to use government spending to cure the economic malaise.

Think about this for a moment: you’ve got an economy that has crashed. Poverty is spreading. The money is all gone. So, your solution is to take money from this crashed, impoverished economy and give it to the government. And call the resultant government spending “growth”. This is what deepened and extended the Depression. Not tariffs. The money which was supposed to be used by the people to rebuild their economic lives was spent by government…sure, some of it useful spending (like the Brits subsidizing their shipbuilding industry which was to prove crucial for British victory in WWII) but the main thing is that it couldn’t be “growth” … it was just moving money around. Some bright guy out there might have had some new product or innovation ready to go but he couldn’t get financing because the money had been taxed or borrowed away to build a CCC camp in Nevada.

And then World War Two happened. Kinda interesting aspect of this has not been explored. Probably because exploring it would expose some weaknesses in the Liberal Narrative. German rearmament started before the ink was dry on the Treaty of Versailles. First covertly and ad-hoc, it was eventually taken over by the government and as early as 1927 the Germans had a plan to create a large, modern army. But they also knew it would take time. Years and years. The program was put into overdrive when Hitler came to power in 1933 and all sorts of financial trickery were used to provide the money for the buildup. But it was still going to take time. The German Navy – the Kriegsmarine – put their program under the title of Plan Z which envisioned a Germany Navy strong enough to fight the UK by 1948. In a pinch, they felt they could at least fight it out by 1942. The Army also felt that they could present Hitler with a reliable military instrument in a pinch by 1942, though they more envisioned 1945 as the time when the German army would be ready. But as we all know, the war started in 1939. What gives?

The German staffs – Army and Navy – were among the best in the world. Arguably for the Army the very best in the world and maybe in all time. They knew what Germany needed to have a fair shot at winning. These were deeply educated, highly intelligent men. The official Narrative is that Hitler was just too impatient and so flew off the handle, as it were, and invaded Poland in 1939 before Germany was ready but then the slight quality edge the Germans had in 1939 and 1940 allowed to stupendous success. There is some truth in that but the firing of Hjalmar Schacht as President of the Reichsbank was more imporant – Schacht had been sacked because he kept on telling Hitler that he had to stop the arms buildup as it was bankrupting Germany. To outsiders, Germany in the 1930’s looked like an economic miracle…pretty much full employment, everyone prosperous and great public works being done at the same time Germany’s military grew more imposing by the year. It looked as though State planning and spending were the magic talisman. But it was all a false front: the money was fake (MEFO bills – enormously funny thing which I’m sure our current Rulers would love to have – forcing businesses to take promissory notes which will be redeemed when the government says so and don’t appear on the government books as debts), the truth concealed by economic sleight of hand…and it was all about to come crashing down into renewed Depression once the world figured out just how much debt the German government was carrying. There were two ways out for Hitler’s regime: allow a Depression or start a war. Guess which option was taken?

The main thing here is that the Nazi regime, aside from its other sins, shows that State planning and spending don’t actually do anything. They don’t create growth. They might give you a hot house and very temporary prosperity, but they are all on borrowed time and something has to give. This is why, I believe, this aspect hasn’t been looked into. Nor has the real effect of the New Deal been looked into. There’s been some criticism around the edges of it, but nobody points out that it didn’t do anything positive – and very likely made things worse in the long term. The industrial power which armed the world against Nazism wasn’t made by the New Deal. And while the Hoover Dam is quite impressive and useful, it wasn’t as useful as the ability to make aluminum and steel. In fact, we rather lucked out on aluminum which was to be crucial for aircraft production…totally outside government, a new facility was built in the late 1930’s for aluminum production for the Japanese market. Outside that stroke of luck, building those 50,000 planes FDR ordered would have been tricky. You’d think if our Ruling Class was super smart and figuring things out that the things we needed the most would have got priority in government spending. But, it wasn’t like that at all. In fact, some particularly needful things – like food production – were hobbled in the 1930’s in an attempt to keep food prices artificially high.

But it all seemed to work on that glad day in September of 1945 when the Japanese affixed their signature to the surrender document. The war was won. The Depression was over (though it is forgotten that right after the war there was a recession and a spike in inflation as the economy readjusted itself). The Smarty Pants Experts had fixed everything! And since then, their successors have continued to run things all based on the assumption that Smarty Pants Experts know what they’re doing. Don’t you know that General Massive Decorations is the successor of such geniuses as George Marshall!??!? How dare you question! And Professor Gimme A. Sinecure is the successor of Rexford Tugwell of FDR’s Brain Trust! How can you know more than him?!?!?!

Guys, they have no clue what they’re doing. Heck, even old Rexford didn’t know. He was a Columbia University economics graduate who figured he knew better than the farmers how agriculture should work. Because who better than an upper class academic to tell you how to plow a field? They’re just people who happen to be in positions of power when things happen…and if good things coincide with their tenure, they get awards and reputations for being geniuses. For the Liberal order, being in charge while American industry (they did nothing to create) arms a military (they also did nothing to create) which then goes on to win a global war was the grandest stroke of luck in history. And, my friends, the people in charge actually made even winning worse than it should have been. You think about the bone headed strategic decisions taken which prolonged the war unnecessarily, the diplomacy which awarded half of Europe to Stalin and China to Mao…the post war Cold War and fruitless wars in Vietnam and Korea…the slow destruction of the American industrial and agricultural sectors which had awarded them victory in the first place…the importation of millions of foreigners, the destruction of all public decency…on and on and on they went just totally lousing everything up but keeping in power on the after glow of a document signing on the USS Missouri.

And here we are. It is 2025. Eighty years later and its all come apart at the seams and Trump is trying to sew it back together again. It is simple logic that the illegals have to go home. That we use tariff pressure to force acceptable trade deals. That we revive American manufacturing as much as we can. That we prosecute violent criminals. That we let girls compete with girls. And they hate Trump for doing it – because it shows them up as the totally clueless buffoons they’ve always been. The mask it off. The Emperor not only has no clothes but he’s fat, bald, covered in pimples and he’s swinging something a chipmunk would be ashamed to carry.

And I do believe it is going to work – mostly because sensible things do work. It won’t be the appearance of success, but actual success. Not a higher mythical GDP number, but an increase in actual wealth. Not a higher defense budget, but an actually effective military force. On and on like that…and that will put an end to the Liberal Order.

I do believe our Democrats have learned absolutely nothing from 2024.

Until about ten days ago there was story after story and claim after claim that Democrats and Never Trumpers were hearing from MAGA – and we were soooo disappointed in Trump! I mean, we didn’t want Harris but we didn’t vote for this! All these deportations of poor illegals without due process, all this cutting government with a butcher knife…it was all too much! Trump is out of control! What have we done?!?!?!?

And then after a period of that, a whole raft of polls comes out – Trump’s approval is cratering to lows no President has ever seen at this point in his term! It was a cascading political collapse. And, hey, (went other stories and claims) the Dems are on to something here…standing up for Maryland Man and fighting against DOGE is their way back to power! You see, the Democrats were showing themselves to be the reasonable, responsible people who are capable of governing.

And then…

All the polls showing Trump’s support in free fall were the same polls that showed Harris’ Bratty Joy was dominating the election. Do keep in mind that Harris’ pollster has stated that at no time during the campaign did her internal polls show her with a lead. The polls that showed Harris ahead – or even in position to win – were utter nonsense. And so, too, are the polls showing Trump’s support dropping. Sure, there is statistical noise…the good polls show Trump bouncing around from 48% to 51% approval…basically where we was on Election Day. This is actually pretty astonishing…I really expected a genuine drop as Trump put MAGA on steroids. But, no: ain’t happening. It seems everyone is pleased as punch about what he’s doing and if there’s a complaint its that he’s not doing more and faster.

But do keep in mind that the Democrats tried here – to create out of whole cloth a Narrative of Trump collapse, MAGA disenchantment and Democrat resurgence. None of it was true – there wasn’t a single fact to back up the claim. It was a lie from start to finish and they couldn’t sell it.

This is a watershed moment, my friends. The social power of the Democrats has been broken. They can no longer win just by lies pushed in the MSM. People are on to the con and Team Trump has become masterful at dominating the message. For instance, this past Sunday was May the 4th and that is a big day for Star Wars nerds – “May the fourth” = “May the Fourth be With You” (get it?). So, what did Trump do? The White House account put out an AI picture of Trump as a Jedi…with a red lightsaber because that ensured it would go exceptionally viral (red lightsabers are for Siths, not Jedis). As of this moment, it has 56 million views and 31,000 comments. Meanwhile, on that same Sunday, how many people do you suppose watched the DNC propaganda on the Sunday talk shows? I bet it wasn’t even a tenth of that number combined. The Democrats look at this and can only shriek in impotent rage. They don’t understand how Trump is doing this and why they can’t just tell people what to think.

Lied a little too often there, guys. Lies do work, I’ve pointed that out endlessly. But you have to keep your lies reasonable. When you told us we couldn’t have a funeral for grandma but George Floyd could have three, that was a bit unreasonable. Everyone could see not only that it was a lie, but that it was a ridiculous and insulting lie. It got people to hate you, Democrats. They didn’t used to. Now they do. And while people will often listen to liars, they never listen to people they hate…and this is even when the people hated speak the truth. Democrats are in some deep doo doo here.

We’ll see how this turns out – the economy will be key in 2026. I happen to believe that Trump’s policies will get things booming within the first 12 months of his term…but be that as it may, we might find that the Democrats are so toxic that they can’t win even in a poor situation for the GOP. Trump is rolling – and the Democrats are in panic.

There’s a video out there of Governor Pritzker (D-IL) where he says Republicans “cannot know a moment of peace” and asserting that all our pictures will eventually be in a museum of tyranny. What Pritzker is doing, between gasps for breath as he tries to keep his morbidly obese body alive, is trying to work up another Butler. He knows we’re not evil – in fact, Democrats know better than we how good we are and how bad Democrats are – but he’s going with this because he needs someone to try to stop us, mostly by stopping Trump. Democrats know full well that Trump is the key man – not just because he’s President, but because he’s got the will to win. We think Vance might have it but we don’t know unless and until he’s in office…for the moment, only Trump has a proven track record of getting it done. And it is terrifying Democrats.

It got a bit of notice but with so much going on, not a lot of notice: Team Trump is looking into ActBlue. This is the primary fundraising arm of the Democrat party. And as I’ve been saying about it for many years: it is dirty. It was so easy to figure it out: donation after donation in odd amounts. You know, like $27.35…Americans don’t donate like that. We give a twenty or a hundred but not odd amounts. That sort of donation is clearly a foreign currency donation laundered through some American cut-out and converted into dollars (and my bet is that a lot of the money originates as USAID grants to foreign NGOs). I am quite confident that any investigation of ActBlue will reveal not just a few bad actors, but that the whole thing was set up from the get-go to get around campaign finance laws…and because actual Democrat donors were getting rarer and rarer. Reminder: Dems love to say that X number of their donors are small amounts via ActBlue…giving the idea that there’s just millions of Little People out there supporting Democrats. There ain’t. Its all a fraud. And Trump might uncover it. And just consider for a moment the fate of the Democrats if ActBlue money dries up?

And that is just one of many fronts Team Trump is working on…some GOPers are already worried about 2026. Naturally, the MSM has worked up a series of recent polls showing Trump’s support cratering. I’ll only note here that GOP registration gains are continuing…if there is a drop in support for Trump it isn’t showing up in the real world. Only in MSM polls…which we know are bogus (these days I’m seriously starting to think they just make up the numbers – that they don’t even do an actual poll). I’m not worried – sure, the nature of things still says we have to be prepared for an uphill climb in 2026 but with Democrats picking the 20 in the 80/20 issues of immigration, girls sports and government spending…I think we’ve got a good shot at doing well. And then you add in things like arresting activist judges and cutting at the heart of Democrat finances via terminating USAID and investigating ActBlue…Democrats might go into 2026 with…feeble ability to campaign.

And that is why Pritzker said what he said – and Democrat after Democrat is out there saying Trump is a dictator-in-making and must be stopped by any means necessary. They want some lunatic to kill him. They failed in Butler by what can only be the grace of God…they failed at Mar a Lago by sheer happenstance. They know that in both instances they came very close to ending their problem. So, keep saying the words and see what happens. After all, in their minds they will have done nothing wrong…and if it gets them the result they want, all is well. They know it is now a little more tricky because they don’t have Team Biden making sure Trump’s security detail is less than 100% effective…but get enough shots headed downrange and one of them is bound to work, right?

There is a passage in The Lord of the Rings where Aragorn says words to the effect of: there’s a fat man in Bree who would be killed if it wasn’t for me and the Rangers, but I’m happy to do it because if I can protect the simple people, and leave them free to be simple, then I’ve done my duty. What Tolkien was doing there was showing what true nobility is. Aragorn is descended from the noblest of humanity…the blood of scores of kings runs in his veins. Yet he is scorned by those he protects because he looks rough on the outside…but he’s entirely ok with that, because the noble man does what is right no matter what anyone thinks. The huge problem of the modern world is that there is nobody around trying to protect the simple – allowing them to be freely simple. And I don’t mean simple as in stupid…but simple as in taking care of the day to day in peace (raising families, working their businesses…keeping up civilization). And, in fact, not only are the simple not protected, they are being maliciously twisted by the clever into doing evil…like when Pritzker (who knows precisely what he’s doing) tries to sucker some fool into taking a shot at Trump.

To be sure, most people are immune…that is, most people no matter how hard you try simply won’t turn to insane violence. But in any population there will be a percentage who will fall for it. And this could be from a host of reasons – mental defect, anger over some perceived slight, etc. The main thing is with 340 million people in America, if even one hundredth of one percent can be swayed to violence by Leftist rhetoric about Trump then there are 34,000 people out there just waiting for their chance to strike. And, guys, it is more than one hundredth of one percent. Reminder: we’ve already had two for certain and probably more (serious threats are dealt with by the Secret Service and they don’t always tell us about all of them in any serious way). Every society has it’s weakest links….people who for whatever reason are most apt to go very wrong. Democrats are hoping that the weakest link breaks the whole Trump chain.

We’re on a tightrope, my friends! The Democrats will not go quietly. They just failed to turn the USA into another Canada or UK…where immigrant votes plus voter fraud ensure Ruling Class dominance forever. Another four years of Team Biden and they likely would have done it. Democrats know that if Trump is able to succeed – and even worse, if Vance follows Trump – then they’re cooked. I’m not saying there won’t be a Left or a Democrat Party…what I’m saying is that those in charge will lose their money and power. That is what scares them…and all of their hangers-on (which includes journalists, college administrators, entertainment industry leaders…its the whole class which has been sustained by government money doled out by Democrat politicians)…they are terrified of losing mastery. There isn’t a stone they won’t leave unturned to get at Trump.

Buckle up for a wild ride!
