COULD IT BE?

As we have discussed so many times before, there seems to be a condition in Washington that cannot be denied. That condition is commonly known as "Trump derangement syndrome." 

 

As we look for reasons the FBI and the Attorney General found it necessary to invade Trump's private home with a squad of armed agents, perhaps that syndrome could be in play. They had to know that their act would inflame millions of Trump supporters as well as many others across the country. Or could it be that they actually thought Trump was a bad guy who would betray his country? They can't be that stupid, can they?

 

Some have opined that this ill-fated raid was because of the January 6th madness. I have tried to watch some of that hearing but have come away with the feeling that these are just a bunch of Trump haters looking for ways to defame him and reduce his value as a candidate in 2024. They seem to want to make you believe that Trump is a crook who would turn on America anytime. Absolute nonsense. You may remember that Rhino Liz Cheney was a co-chair on the committee trying to convince the American public of their opinion that Trump was dirty. Did you see what happened to her as she ran for re-election to the House? She was trounced by almost 40 points. She may even believe what she is trying to sell us, but her opinion appears to be in the minority. Oh, and now that she was politically destroyed in her home state, she may decide to run for President. As she said, anything to keep Trump out of the White House. Hmmm, that might just ensure that he would take the White House. Imagine a candidate for President who cannot carry her home state. Like I said, hmmm.

 

Could it be the condition we have previously discussed, and that is just pure fear of Trump and his popularity? And could it be that Washington and the "mainstream" media are once again misreading America's preferences for their leaders. You may remember that Trump got 46 million votes in the last election. How many do you suppose he would get now that we have all seen what Biden and the Democrats do with the power of leadership? 

 

I would like to make my position clear. I was not a Trump supporter originally. But he clearly accomplished more in his term than anyone in my memory and that was while he was under almost constant attack from the people whose gravy train he was derailing. Can you imagine what he might have gotten done if he was left alone? 

 

So now, what to think about Trump in 2024? It's an interesting question. There should be no doubt in anyone's mind of his ability to govern. But, would he face the same harassment again? That is an easy answer. Of course he would. The difference this time is that he would probably have a friendly Congress and there is the very real possibility many of his previous detractors would be facing criminal charges. Some might even think twice before they attempt to lie to the American people like they did before. They might be trading in their business suits for orange coveralls. That would be fun. 

 

The question was, could it be? I think the answer is yes. Could Trump run again? Yes. Could he win? Yes. Ron Desantis would probably be on the ticket. I would vote for them, wouldn't you?

A WELL-PLACED FEAR

Isn't it amazing what fear can cause? Our government has truly overstepped its boundaries by raiding President Trump's home in Florida. Now, what do you suppose they were looking for? It is obvious to anyone with an ounce of sense that this raid happened because the Democrats are scared to death of Trump. They don't want to face him in another election. 

 

In my years on this earth, I have never seen a president faced with more harassment than Donald Trump. From his first day in office all the way to today the harassment has continued. Do you remember the "Russia, Russia, Russia, and Russia owns Trump" nonsense? The left played that card until it proved to be nothing more than a political dirty trick created by Hillary Clinton. Not only did she try dirty tricks, she proved herself to be a crook. I haven't seen any raids on her home yet, have you? Oh, and don't hold your breath.

 

Speaking of individuals who need to answer to the law for their crimes, how about Hunter Biden? And how far up the ladder do you suppose those crimes go? Is our President on the payroll of our enemy, communist China? Hunter certainly appears to be. I haven't seen any raids on their homes either. Granted there isn't much danger of Hunter Biden ever running for President. Still, we don't have two sets of laws, one for us the unwashed and another for our political elite and the politically protected. There is no way that Biden can successfully govern or deal in any discernible way with China if he is receiving or has received money from the Chinese communist party.

 

I understand the fear that the left has for Trump. They know how formidable he would be against any candidate the Democrats could put up. But and this is a big but, the Democrats should actually fear the 46 million voters who voted for Trump in 2016. I believe those 46 million would vote for him again plus many, many more. Even the most loyal Democrat understands their mistake in electing Biden, and I can't see any Democrat on the horizon who is capable of being president and having to clean up the absolute mess Biden has caused.

 

The first job then is for the Republicans to retire Nancy Pelosi and take back the House of Representatives. Then, of course, the next retirement is Chuck Schumer. The Senate must be in the hands of Republicans, and those Republicans must act like Republicans if this mess is to be cleaned up. Rhinos have to reexamine their thinking and get on board if we are to survive as a country.

 

We have laws. We have rules. We have the Constitution. Attention Democrats, understand this. The gravy train is ending. Accepting huge buckets of cash from foreign countries is over. Especially from our enemies. Those who choose to violate the law must face prosecution, regardless of their political position. 

 

Recently my wife and I were having a discussion about how this country got to where we are. How did this happen? Just a few years ago political parties worked together to deal with issues we faced. Now, everything is a fight. Neither party wants the other to have any success. Our Congress is filled by individuals who are just too old to handle the job. These are just some of the problems. 

 

This is our country and these politicians work for us. We absolutely have to hold their feet to the fire. We must demand excellence, trustworthiness, and obedience to the law. Nothing less is acceptable.
