says the group therapy session that throws tantrums together over one or two guys posting things they don’t agree with.
I was told we’d have clout or karma generating in the new upgrade. I see neither.
This opinion piece hits it right on the head of the nail. Everything liberals said we couldn't do, is being done. Everything they wouldn't do because they wanted power over the people as opposed to working for the people, is being done. The country is moving in the exact direction is should be moving save a few disagreements I might have but that is to be expected.
It took a successful businessman with middle of the road politics and as little of a political agenda as we have seen since Truman, to start righting the ship. Things are going well!
The World Woke Up | RealClearPolitics
In less than six months, the entire world has been turned upside down. There is no longer such a thing as conventional wisdom or the status quo.
The unthinkable has become the banal.
Take illegal immigration -- remember the 10,000 daily illegal entries under former President Joe Biden?
Recall the only solution was supposedly "comprehensive immigration reform"--a euphemism for mass amnesties.
Now, there is no such thing as daily new illegal immigration. It simply disappeared with common-sense enforcement of existing immigration laws -- and a new president.
How about the 40,000-50,000 shortfall in military recruitment?
Remember all the causes that the generals cited for their inability to enlist soldiers: generational gangs, obesity, drugs, and stiff competition with private industry?
And now?
In just six months, recruitment targets are already met; the issue is mostly moot.
Why? The new Pentagon flipped the old, canceling its racist DEI programs and assuring the rural, middle-class Americans -- especially white males -- that they were not systemically racist after all.
Instead, they were reinvited to enlist as the critical combat cohort who died at twice their demographic share in Iraq and Afghanistan.
How about the "end of the NATO crisis," supposedly brought on by a bullying U.S.?
Now the vast majority of NATO members have met their pledges to spend two percent of GDP on defense, which will soon increase to 5%.
Iconic neutrals like Sweden and Finland have become frontline NATO nations, arming to the teeth. The smiling NATO Secretary-General even called Trump the "daddy" of the alliance.
What about indomitable, all-powerful, theocratic Iran, the scourge of the Middle East for nearly 50 years?
Although it had never won a war in the last half-century, its terrorist surrogates -- Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis -- were supposedly too dangerous to provoke.
Now?
Most of their expeditionary terrorists are neutered, and their leaders are in hiding or dead. Iran has no air force, no real navy, no air defenses, and no active nuclear weapons program.
Its safety apparently depends only on the mood of the U.S. or Israel on any given day, not to fly into its airspace and take out its missiles, nuclear sites, generals, or theocrats at will.
What happened to the supposedly inevitable recession, hyperinflation, stock market collapse, unemployment spikes, and global trade war that last spring economists assured us would hit by summer?
Job growth is strong, and April's inflation rate is the lowest in four years. GDP is still steady. The stock market hit a record high. Trade partners are renegotiating their surpluses with the U.S.
It turns out that staying in the U.S. consumer market is the top priority of our trading partners. It seems their preexisting and mostly undisclosed profits were large enough to afford reasonable U.S. symmetrical tariffs.
For now, news of tax cuts, deregulation, "drill baby, drill" energy policies displacing Green New Deal strangulation, and $8-10 trillion in potential foreign investment has encouraged -- rather than deterred -- business.
Then there were our marquee elite universities, whose prestige, riches, and powerful alumni made them answerable to no one.
And now, after the executive and congressional crackdown on their decades of hubris?
Supposedly brilliant university presidents have resigned in shame. The public has caught on to their grant surcharge gouging.
Campuses have backed off their arrogant defiance of the Supreme Court's civil rights rulings.
They are panicked about the public exposure of their systemic antisemitism.
They are scrambling to explain away their institutionalized ideological bias and their tawdry profit-making schemes and mass recruitment of wealthy foreign students from illiberal regimes.
So, the mighty Ivy League powerhouses are now humbling themselves to cut a deal to save their financial hides and hopefully return to their proper mission of disinterested education.
What happened to the trans juggernaut of sex as a social construct and its bookend gospel that biological men could dominate women's sports?
People woke up. They were no longer afraid to state that sex is binary and biologically determined. And biological men who dominate women's sports are bullies, not heroes.
Where are the millionaire scamming architects of BLM now? Where is the "DEI now, tomorrow, and forever" conventional wisdom?
Where are Professor Ibram X. Kendi and his $30,000 Zoom lessons on how to fight racism by being racist?
They have all been exposed as the race hustlers they always were. Their creed that it is OK for supposed victims to be racist victimizers themselves was exposed as an absurd con.
So, what flipped everything?
We were living in an "emperor has no clothes" make-believe world for the last few years. The people knew establishment narratives were absurd, and our supposed experts were even more ridiculous.
But few -- until now -- had the guts to scream "the emperor is naked" to dispel the fantasies.
When they finally did, reality returned.
Every politician on the city council that installed sanctuary city B.S. should be jailed and sued.
Prove me wrong!
You guys voted for this fat, malodorous old felon, his skin discolored, ankles all swollen up probably with a heart condition, and so far mostly what he has done for you is increase your prices with his idiotic tariffs. He's dumbing down the United States with his attacks on education, making it increasingly difficult to compete with China.
The real issue is that we are one big democratic election win from once again a huge devaluation of the US dollar as a store of capital. As the dollar is devalued and capital leaves for a more stable substitute it comes down to gold or bitcoin or something else. The left would want to stop that conversion. They made holding gold illegal under democrat FDR in 1933 until republican Ford legalized it in 1974. Today you need to indicate on your tax return if you have a foreign bank account and if you have crypto currency. In a US currency crisis the left and the RINOs would crack down on dollar conversion. So which is easier to hold illegally, gold or crypto, and not be subject to seizure by the US treasury and FBI?
97% fabricated. 3% chance you start eating a lot of buttered popcorn. It would be great to have Hollywood produce the show then get a Democrat Senator like John Fetterman to gather a bunch of RepubiCONs to make up a panel of "unbiased" prosecutors to go after treasonous deep staters. It could be shown to the world on Prime time TV.
Going to need them. Seems he's got experience spending other people's money.
