Once again, thanks primarily to the “lame stream media”, we have an attempt on President Trump’s life.  Rather than some dark character, this attempted assassin is a thirty-one-year-old Californian with two master’s degrees, a teaching certificate and is a video game creator with no history of violence that has come to light . . . except for his manifesto, published after the act where the hate becomes  evident.  His name is Troy Allen.

The reason why he took a train rather than flying is obvious; his weapons, including a dismantled shotgun, would not be detected due to a much laxer security system.  They were also not detected when he checked in to the hotel the day before the event thereby avoiding extremely strict surveillance just prior to it.

It’s obvious that he planned the attack.  Rather than attempting to walk through the Secret Service perimeter he ran, thereby catching the agents off guard.  While the agents drew their weapons, I think they were reluctant to fire with thousands of attendees just behind the wall.  Allen did fire his handgun, one bullet striking one of the agents in the chest.  Fortunately, he was wearing a bullet proof vest.  Allen was then taken down.  Trump, Melania and his cabinet members present were quickly evacuated and chaos ensued, however, no one was seriously hurt.

A couple of things puzzle me:  First, Both Trump and Vance were attending.  I had always assumed that, for obvious reasons, the president and vice-president were not permitted to appear in public together.  Second, the majority of his cabinet was also there.  Had a bomb been placed and not detected and then exploded, nearly all of the administration would have been wiped out, thereby rendering the country incontinent.  (Pun intended.)

If you think this not a problem, please keep in mind that half of those attending hate the president.  In fact, he has avoided attendance on previous occasions for that very reason.  All it would take is one nutcase reporter with a suicide wish . . .

This marks the third serious attempt on President Trump’s life and I place much of the responsibility on the legacy media.  While I peruse news reports each day, I grudgingly count the number of negative stories published by Irish Star, Daily Beast, Atlanta Black Star News, Raw Story, New York Times and several others making much of his alleged shortcomings.  He missed a step, appeared to be asleep in a meeting, screamed profanities at a reporter, mumbled a response  . . . you get the gist.  He isn’t fit to be president, they holler.  This disorder is referred to as Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).

As I’ve indicated previously, Donald Trump is his own worst enemy.  He’ll make a humorous remark which is immediately determined to be serious by the idiot left media.  A classic example is his comment that he would be a dictator the first year of his term and the left screamed, “Trump admits he is a dictator!” 

Now, imagine if you will that this is the only news source the nutty left hears.  I’m always amused when the socialist left describes Trump as a “Nazi” or Adolph Hitler.  The term Nazi comes from the German word, pronounced “not ze o nal”, hence the phrase.   Hitler’s party was called National SocialistGerman Worker’s Party and Adolph Hitler was a socialist . . . the opposite from Donald Trump.  I’m curious: does our socialist left consider socialism evil?

I firmly believe that the Democrat Party is on life support.  It has no positive agenda and no established leader.  Some federal law enforcement agencies have gone months without pay while the left supports illegal immigration and ignores taxpaying citizens suffering from criminal activity perpetrated by those illegals. 

It is socialism that is evil.  It opposes private ownership which is a staple of American existence.  Everything belongs to everyone!  Capitalism is verboten.  To verify that socialism doesn’t work, check out New York City.  Personally, I can’t determine the difference between socialism and communism.  Both are abhorrent.

When is it going to end?

Remember that famous poem?

Listen my children and you shall hear

Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere

On the eighteenth of April in seventy-five

Hardly a man is still alive

Who remembers that famous day and year

I wonder what Henry Wadsworth Longfellow would think if he could see our country today.  Do you suppose he could grab the concept of socialism and corruption now ravaging this nation?  And what would our Founding Fathers think of the abuse of their Constitution?

The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.  That sounds pretty straight forward, doesn’t it?  Why are socialists so intent to deprive us of that right?  The answer is actually quite simple: Control!  The purpose of the amendment was to eliminate control by an aggressive government as they had under English rule.  An armed militia would prevent it.  Sounds like an excellent concept . . .

Massachusetts and Virginia were bastions of the revolutionary movement.  Today they are rigorously controlled by the people the Fathers feared.  A phenomenon referred to as gerrymandering controls its governments, the rigging of voting districts to favor a particular political party, 

Act Blue is a Democrat entity charged with collecting donations for party members running for office.  It collects billions od dollars, much of it coming from foreign doners like George Soros which is illegal.  Trump is making an effort to declare it so and an investigation is under way.  Act Blue’s lawyers have left the organization and its employees have pled the 5^th Amendment to questions from investigators over a hundred times!

Eric Swalwell’s flight from office is only the beginning of the exodus.  More resignations are coming and some have already occurred.  Sheila Cherfilus McCormick, a Democrat member from Florida is currently being investigated for alleged misuse of campaign money and chances are good that she will be compelled to resign.

And Ilhan Omar is on the hot seat once again.  She is disputing her net worth of thirty million dollars, stating that it is actually ninety-five thousand and that her bookkeeping staff made an error.  She is currently married to her third husband, a millionaire.  If you recall, her first husband was her brother.  If irregularities are proven, she could face deportation.

Another investigation has captured my interest involving ten scientists who have been reported missing or died under mysterious circumstances.  All were involved in some way with aerospace and nuclear science and all had top security clearances.  While there is no known connection, President Trump has ordered an investigation by the FBI.

Speaking of the FBI, Kash Patel has become the latest target of the legacy media reporting that Patel has a drinking problem.  This is allegedly according to FBI agents who have witnessed erratic and disturbing behavior and who reported it to the media anonymously.  Patel, of course, hotly denies the claims; however I’ve always wondered why Dan Bongino left the organization so abruptly.

And the Iran conflict drags on.  The president has extended the cease fire a few more days causing consternation among congressional members, some his own faithful supporters.  He keeps setting deadlines which they continue to ignore and I find myself wondering whether “boots on the ground” will be the final result. 

The Save America Act is still in limbo, thanks to Republican Senators led by John Thune.  I cannot fathom the resistance to a bill which will make America safer and accomplish their leader’s objective?  It only firms up the reason I left the Republican Party.

Paco    

It’s finally happened!  Eric Swalwell has been exposed.  Not only has he dropped out of the governor’s race, but he’s also resigned from Congress.  For decades, the Left has ignored his behavior, particularly the Fang Fang fiasco.  For that same period, he has sexually abused many women, some of whom were his employees. 

His dropping out of the governor’s race could prove could devastating for the Democrat Party.  In California, the top two contenders are placed on the ballot regardless of party affiliation.  In other words, the governor’s race could have two Republican contenders rather than one Republican and one Democrat.

Swalwell was considered the frontrunner for the Democrats, followed by billionaire Tom Steyer and Katie Porter both of whom are extreme left.  Steyer has loudly called for the elimination of ICE and prosecution of its employees as well as open borders while Porter’s gross mistreatment of employees and abusive nature are well documented.  In other words, they’d have trouble winning, even in California.  On the GOP side, are Steve Hilton and Sheriff Chad Bianco.  Hilton has been endorsed by President Trump.

Not only is Swalwell’s political career over, but he is facing possible criminal charges in New York City as well as countless civil suits.  His alleged “best friend”, Arizona’s Senator Ruben Gallego, has denied any knowledge of Swalwell’s sexual activities which is ludicrous.  A video clip of Swalwell in a hotel room with a hooker and another man has appeared.  While there is only a side view of the other man on the bed with them, it clearly could be Gallego.

History tells us that the chances of Republicans losing the mid-term election are good.  For decades, this has been the case; however, this one could be an exception.  Despite the corruption of the legacy media, Trump’s successes during this term are evident, even to the left.  Should the Republicans lose you can rest assured that the 25^th Amendment will come into play.

Paco       

Well, Musk has done it!  We now have astronauts hovering around the moon for the first time in decades.  I must admit that I’m impressed!  One thing puzzles me though.  Both genders are participating in extremely close quarters and one would think that personal hygiene such as washing and using the toilet would be an issue.  They’ll be up there for days.  With no gravity, does poop hover in the air?

Trump’s war objectives continue to be somewhat productive although Iran ignores  deadlines continually.  We’ll see if the latest receives the same attention which would result in the loss of its infrastructure.  You would think that, at some point, the Iranian people would finally rise up and overthrow the current radicals.  I’m extremely disappointed that our European allies are hiding in the closet and I would definitely support a divorce from NATO.

Meanwhile, the legacy media continues to thwart the president’s agenda with falsehoods regarding his health and ability to perform his duties despite the fact that he outpaces those around him on four hours of sleep a night.  The 25^th Amendment is often brought up as a solution to the “problem”.  His efforts at humor are dismissed as dementia or worse.  He has accomplished more in a single year than any previous individual in that capacity has in an entire term and he is still ridiculed by the left.

While consuming the news, a couple of stories have concerned me.  Hundreds of retail outlets are closing including many very well-known brands.  Estimates indicate that the number could reach 1500 outlets before the year ends.  Many are fast food outlets; however, major retail brands are also trimming down.  Among them are: Starbucks 627 locations, Walgreens 450, Family Dollar 370. Macys 66, Kroger 60 and Kohls 27.

There are a multitude of reasons why this is occurring.  On-line shopping is a major reason, but there are others.  Delivery services have increased and commercial real estate rental fees have skyrocketed.  Staffing in many areas is also a problem.  Foot traffic has diminished,  leaving malls struggling.

My other concern is far more troubling.  Violence against children.  Children are our most valuable asset and I have difficulty accepting the suffering many endure at the hands of adults . . . some their own parents!  I recently read an article concerning the arrest of parents for the murder of their two-year-old daughter.

Our children have been victimized by society for the past several decades.  Their education has been divisive to say the least, in many cases separating parent from child, as with the gender issue.  Children are and should be asexual and not questioned as to whether they are male or female.  “Readin’, Writin’ and Rithmatic” have taken a back seat to DUI.

A related concern is the dropping fertility rate in the country.  Currently, it is about 53 births per thousand women of reproductive age, a drop of twenty percent (20%) from just two decades ago!  For one reason or another, women are  not choosing to reproduce.  Those who do are waiting until age thirty to do so.  One of the more obscure concerns is social security.  Fewer young Americans will be available to pay into a system which supports seventy million retirees and others.             

As I compose this masterpiece, a two week cease fire agreement has taken place in the Iran war.  One of the conditions is the free passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.  Candidly, I don’t have very high hopes that the attempt will be successful.  The Iranian people have no access to free press and must depend upon Iranian propaganda which is deceiving.  They are being told that Iran is winning.

The 250^th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence is just a few months away.  Several of my ancestors participated and some lost their lives.  I’m afraid that the current political divisiveness will affect the celebration in a negative way and hope that I am wrong.

We are indeed the greatest country on earth.

Just when I think I’ve seen it all, the left pulls another moronic stunt.  Streets are filled with protesters screaming “No Kings”!  All are wearing face masks while demanding that ICE agents remove theirs.  One is shown scribbling Kill your local ICE agent on a nearby wall!  As usual, I find myself wondering . . . don’t these people have jobs?

The answer is, of course, yes; they are now performing those jobs.  Leftist billionaires have established “companies” which maintain groups of professional “protesters” who appear when and where needed as well as supplying posters and signs demeaning the current issue.  George Soros name is frequently mentioned as well as a billionaire American citizen, Neville Roy Singham, currently living in China.

The No Kings protests are particularly amusing for me.  They graphically display the low intelligence quotient of the left.  Do they honestly believe that, were Donald Trump king, he would allow the protests to take place?  Wouldn’t he dissolve Congress and declare himself sole ruler?

Speaking of dumbness, there is, as I understand it, a quiet contest taking place to determine the identity of the dumbest Democrat in Congress.  The current top contender is Eric Swalwell, but my money is on Maxine Waters who, at eighty-seven years of age, is re-running in her district.  Swalwell, currently considering a run for California governor, is best remembered for allegedly playing a game of Hide the Hillshires with Fang Fang, a possible Chinese communist agent.

Swalwell is rather upset because FBI Director Kash Patel is considering re-opening an investigation into Swalwell’s relationship with Fang Fang a decade ago.  Like all Democrats, he is alleging that it is “lawfare”, using the law to punish for political gain, a practice the Democrats are well acquainted with and have often used against their adversaries.

My usual readers are aware of my distain for most members of Congress, both on the left and the right.  I defy you to identify one who has been a member for a decade or more who is not a millionaire.  Nancy Pissoli comes to mind.  Hackmee Jeffries, avid Trump hater, two million plus.  Upchuck Schumer, who has been in Congress since Trump was a teenager?  Eighty-five million!  What’s worse?  Most are ambulance chasers.

I bring this up because I have it on fairly good authority that another esteemed member is being targeted to be expelled from Congress.  His name?  Adam Shit . . . er . . .Schiff.  He is best remembered for his efforts to push the so-called “Steele Dossier” during Donald Trump’s first run for office.  Oh, and he’s a lawyer.  I’m not very hopeful that this will occur . . .

The Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments regarding birthright citizenship and the Fourteenth Amendment.  Currently, the left is arguing that any infant born in the country is automatically a United States citizen regardless of parental status.  In 2023 300,000 infants were born here whose parents were not citizens.  This amounts to about eight percent of all children born that year.

Hospice fraud is once again in the news.  As I’m sure you are aware, Trump assigned Vice President Vance to head up investigations into fraud in the medical arena.  I’ve previously mentioned the situation in California and dozens of arrests have taken place in the past few days and American taxpayers have suffered countless billions of dollars of their hard-earned money fraudulently disappearing.

I recently read an article which I found both fascinating and disturbing.  During wartime, we instituted the draft to boost military forces.  Individuals called up to serve were required to pass a rather stringent physical examination.  The article concluded that seventy-seven percent (77%) of potential current draftees would be unable to pass the physical!

Patriotism is indeed on life support if not already deceased.

The “Shut Down” has been going on for about five weeks.  Dozens of TSA employees have been forced to resign their positions due to the fact that they haven’t received a paycheck and President Trump has been compelled to bring in ICE officers to assist with endless lines of passengers waiting to board a flight.

The overwhelming majority of the blame for this fiasco is the Democrat Party; however, there a number of Republican senators who wish to remain anonymous (big surprise) who are opposed to reopening the government for reasons I can’t begin to fathom.  Meanwhile, all on both sides are receiving their paychecks. 

Efforts are being made by the president to expose those names.  Senator John Thune, the GOP leader,  is not being very helpful.  Efforts on the left to deter ICE activities created the shutdown in the first place and the irony is that ICE agents are receiving their paychecks due to previous funding!

Additional efforts are directed to deter passing the Save America Act which, among other things, would require identification to register to vote and produce same at the voting booth.  Chuck refers to it as the “Jim Crow, No!” bill.  Ironically, polls show that eighty-plus percent of the voting public supports secure voting and this includes seventy-plus percent of Democrats!

As you are probably aware, President Trump has called upon ICE to assist TSA at major airports and is threatening to call out the National Guard as well.  I cannot imagine standing in line for hours to board a flight.  I sincerely hope that these individuals remember which party is the cause in November . . .

I can’t begin to comprehend the level of hatred the left has for Donald Trump.  His numerous accomplishments are all but ignored by the legacy media while his shortcomings receive spotlight attention.  His attempts at humor are treated as if he was serious.  Speculations concerning his health abound while Biden’s were ignored or denied.  The man is nearly eighty years old and much younger companions have difficulty keeping up with him!

I will never understand the so-called “legacy media” and its distain for the current administration.  Recently, Apple published an article lauding Gays for Palestine which reached 125 million viewers.  Gays for Palestine?  Do these idiots realize that homosexuality is forbidden in Islam and the punishment is being thrown off the roof of a building?  I presume that many in this group are females who ignore the fact that women have no rights in an Islamic regime and can be murdered at the whim of a male for the slightest infraction? 

In my opinion, Islam is not a religious faith; it is an ideology.  As I’ve mentioned previously, it has already made significant inroads in every European country and is making the same effort here.  The mayor of New York City is an excellent example.  Much of the massive Medicare and Medicaid fraud taking place across  the country can be traced back to Islamic members.  I am not implying that all Islamists are involved because that would be false.  Many faithful would more than likely be disgusted with those who are involved.

Enough of that.  I recently read a very touching article involving an elderly woman who called the local lumber company begging for wood shavings for her fireplace because she couldn’t afford to purchase firewood.  The company owner then appeared with a pickup filled with firewood and when he saw the conditions under which she was living, he took it upon himself to gather a group of volunteers who then went about repairing her home which included a hole in her roof and plumbing issues.  He continued to look in on her periodically to make sure she was okay.

It’s sad that only negative events receive publicity.  The world is filled with wonderful people who do wonderful things for others without expecting praise for their efforts.  I’d like to think that, at some point in the future, they will be recognized and rewarded.

Paco    

I certainly hope so; however, I’m not sure.  The Commonwealth of Virginia’s Legislature recently passed a law severely limiting the possession, purchase and use of firearms referred to as assault weapons without proper licensing.  It is expected to be signed into law by Governor Spanberger, a radical liberal.

The term “assault weapon” is bandied about: however, a definition of such a weapon is vague.  In fact, if used in an aggressive manner, isn’t a .22 caliber pistol an assault weapon?  The impression that getting rid of firearms will get rid of crime is . . . well . . . moronic.  Criminals will not rid themselves of weapons and criminal activity regardless of the motive.  Chances are that crime will increase when the criminal is assured that his victim is unarmed.

In fact, blanket bans on firearms is unconstitutional!  The Founding Fathers rightfully expressed concerns about such a concept and included the Second Amendment out of fear that future leaders would do just that to control the population.  “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a Free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”   It sounds to me like the Fathers had it right . . .

It may surprise you, but I have concerns about laws restricting concealed weapons.  There is nothing in the Second Amendment mandating that arms must be openly carried.  The fact that a weapon was concealed should only come into play if a crime is committed.  A permit should not be required.  Let’s assume that a citizen uses his concealed weapon to prevent a vicious crime.  Should that citizen then be charged with carrying a concealed weapon?

I don’t envision average citizens carrying a weapon concealed unless they have a reason and, if that is the case, shouldn’t they have a right to defend themselves? 

Do laws like the one mentioned in Virginia save America?  The answer is a resounding no!  Efforts like Save America do.  I find it incomprehensible that the concept of election integrity faces such strong opposition on the part of leftist congressional leaders Chuckie and Hakeem.  This is especially true considering the fact that an overwhelming majority of voters approve the concept.  Included in that majority are Democrats and Independents.  The fact that non-citizens  should be excluded is obvious.

And when we are facing a very dangerous time, Chuckie and Hakeem see fit to oppose refunding the Department of Homeland Security at a time when it is so essential to the safety of Americans.  I am convinced that a good percentage of Democrats disagree with their leaders and that could come to light during the midterm election.

Trump recently appointed Vice President Vance to direct investigations into fraud activity,  primarily in the medical realm.  Hospice fraud is running rampant.  Doctor OZ recently visited Los Angeles because of reports by investigators and discovered 1800 hospices within a three square mile radius!  There were 89 in a single building, all billing your tax money.  Of course, none contained any patients.  Word has it that the Russian mafia is behind it. 

As I’ve indicated previously, fraud is rampant in federal government programs and has been totally ignored by previous administrations.  I believe the American people will be stunned when they discover the extent of the fraud.  Not only stunned, but extremely angry.

Is it me or are we having some pretty unusual weather activity this spring?  Tornadoes are everywhere and destruction is immense.  One was recorded at 150 miles per hour with six-inch hail!  The Midwest was particularly hard hit.  Fires resulting from strong winds in Nebraska have devastated hundreds of thousands of acres resulting at least one death.

And the SAVE Act legislation remains stalled in the Senate primarily because John Thune cannot rally significant Republican votes to get it passed and to the president’s signature.  Leftists aren’t the only problem . . .

Paco     

This past  weekend was a tremendous surprise . . .  to me at least.  It was probably a bigger one for the Ayatollah and his motley crew.  It was a long time coming for the number one sponsor of terrorism in the world.  He had recently murdered thousands of his own citizens who were protesting his regime.  Forty-eight leaders were wiped out simultaneously and I find it hard to believe that they gathered in one location knowing that an attack was eminent.     

It tickles me that our liberal females are protesting Trump’s action.  In present day Iran, women have absolutely no rights; they are equivalent to family pets.  Shots of Iranian women ripping off their burkas and cheering in the streets can be seen on numerous news bits.  Ladies, do a little research before you shoot your mouths off.

Of course, most liberals are up in arms, insisting that Trump acted illegally and demanding Congressional action.  He was well within his legal obligations as was President Obama when he conducted a strike in Iraq many years before; however, the left saw no problem with that effort.  The Gang of Eight was properly notified as is the case when such action is taken.

While all of this is going on, the left has seen fit to defund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at a time when the security of American citizens is at its highest risk.  It is evident that, with Biden’s open-door policy, thousands of Iranians were allowed to enter the country illegally during his term and many are members of numerous “sleeper cells”.  It is logical to assume that these cells could engage in terrorist activity in retaliation for the attack on Iran and the loss of their leader. 

And while the war activity has pretty much captured the news, Nancy Gughrie remains missing despite offerings of a million dollars for her return.  Candidly, I find it difficult to accept that the 84-year-old is still with us and that someone hasn’t come forward to collect any ransom amount.  I can’t help but think that the entire investigation was mishandled.

And Minnesota Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison are facing Congressional inquiries into the massive fraud scandal in that state and not responding very well to queries by committee members.  I don’t think there is any doubt as to their involvement in the massive scam.  The thing I can’t begin to understand is that, had Harris been elected, the governor would be our current vice president!

I’ve just learned that Trump’s Cabinet has suffered its first loss.  Kristi Noem was terminated by the president effective March 31^st apparently over testimony she gave in a Congressional hearing.  I don’t believe she will be the last.  Pam Bondi is also a target of the left as is Pete Hegseth.  The left will do anything to sabotage this administration. 

I want to shift to a topic I find deeply concerning and that is the perceived increase in “road rage” incidents.  The last thing anyone should do is climb behind the wheel angry.  Reports of people being injured and even killed as a result of road rage seem endless.  I can’t emphasize strongly enough that, should you find yourself in such a situation, do not respond in like and dial 911 if you can.  I can guarantee that you won’t be the only potential victim.

Except for those of you living in Arizona, don’t forget to set those clocks ahead on Saturday night.

Like many of you, I watched the State of the Union speech Tuesday evening; however, I did not stick around for the rebuttal by Virginia’s Governor Spanberger who has been in office only a short period of time and has exhibited an amazing lack of common sense.

Trump’s efforts were amazing in my estimation.  This, despite the left’s efforts to disrupt them with shouted negative comments from the audience by Omar and her cohorts.  Candidly, I thought they acted like a bunch of children.  This was especially true when the president asked members of Congress to rise if they supported citizens over illegals and Democrats remained sitting!  Oh, and seventy-odd leftist members chose to boycott the speech entirely.

Trump’s guests included the recent gold-winning hockey team as well as others who have been affected in some way by the previous administration’s dismal leadership.  One five-year-old child was especially heart-rending, having been seriously injured by an illegal driver.. A one-hundred-year-old World War II veteran was presented with the Medal of Honor for his service in that war and Korea.  Also so honored was the pilot of the one of the helicopters in the Maduro raid who was seriously injured during that operation.  Relatives of victims of crimes committed by illegals were also honored.  Laken Riley’s mother was one.  It was difficult for me to watch the seated left while this was occurring.

Trump’s speech was excellent despite the efforts of legacy media to portray it as otherwise.  Try as I might, I will never understand the bias it has for this man.  One speculated that he was wearing wig!  Another described him as “sounding confused” although that was never the case as far as I’m concerned.  Audiences love his speeches!

Unless I’m sadly mistaken, Democrats did themselves no favors by their behavior during the speech.  Close-up shots of several prominent members while Trump was speaking clearly display their hatred for the man.  And a conservative member wearing a red dress and sitting in the liberal section who jumped up frequently clapping at Trump’s comments didn’t help.

Probably the most distinctive promise issued by the president during the presentation was his commitment to dramatically reduce federal fraud.  Medicare and Medicaid alone suffer hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud.  Vice President Vance will head that operation and the individuals conducting the fraud investigations will report directly to the White House rather that the Department of Justice.

As most of you know, I spent decades investigating fraudulent activity.  I can’t begin to emphasize the importance of curbing fraud in the government.  Dollars lost come directly out of the pockets of taxpaying citizens and, as Trump iterated in his Tuesday night presentation, the primary obligation of the federal government is to ensure the safety of its citizens.

This will be a significant year.  On its 250^th birthday, the United States will face a significant obstacle; the November mid-term elections.  Everything depends upon a strong Republican win in both Houses.  Without it, pandemonium will reign.  Almost immediately, efforts will be renewed to impeach Donald Trump and they very probably will succeed and all of his accomplishments will be reversed.  Can you imagine a re-opened border?

Paco  

Another attempt was made on Donald Trump’s life overnight.  A twenty-one-year-old North Carolina man was able to enter Mar-a-Lago by slipping in behind an authorized vehicle being allowed to enter.  When confronted by Secret Service and a county deputy, he dropped a gas can he was carrying and raised a shotgun to shooting position before being killed.

A shotgun is not a typical assassination weapon and it is unknown at this time whether the gas can was empty or full; however, his intent was clearly obvious.  His family had reported him missing several days earlier, an indication that they may have been aware of his mental fragility.  Incidentally, Trump was in Washington, DC at the time.

The level of hatred for this president in some quarters mystifies me.  This is especially true considering what he has accomplished for this country as well as countries around the world.  Efforts to tie him to the Epstein Files have fail while leftist dignitaries are very notable.  Another president is clearly visible lying in hot tubs with females other than his spouse and had dozens of White House meetings with Jeffrey Epstein.  The “commies” have no problem with that.

This president is an enormously successful and wealthy individual who could have retired to Mar-a-Lago and spent his days engaged in his favorite pastime holding a golf club and watching his beautiful wife sunbathe.  Yet he chose to place his life in jeopardy by serving his country at a time when it clearly needed it. 

He closed a border which had been wide open under the previous administration, allowing millions of illegals to flood into the country and take advantage of rights only allowed for citizens.  When he attempted to deport those who were here illegally, the left attacked the law enforcement people delegated to remove them  thereby supporting rapists, murderers, thieves who were victimizing fellow citizens!  If someone can explain the logic in that insanity I’d welcome it.

Under his leadership, the economy is thriving despite claims from the left to the contrary.  The price of gasoline is half what it was under Biden and I’ve seen a distinct reduction in my grocery bills.  Decades old worldwide conflicts are being resolved primarily due to his efforts.  The current situation in Iran, while concerning, is an example of his efforts along those lines.  And his pledge to reduce government waste are especially exciting.

Government waste and corruption would stupefy the average American.  Medicaid fraud, for example,  exceeds one hundred billion dollars a year!  Much of that has gone to our illegal comrades.  Efforts must be made on a national level to detect fraudulent activity and punish those responsible.

The “Save America Act” is especially important.  While upwards of eighty percent of American citizens support proof of citizenship to vote, (that includes many Democrats) the left fiercely opposes it, referring to it as a “Jim Crow Law”, denying voting rights to those who are unable to obtain proof of identification!   In an age when identification is required for just about every daily function, this is a ridiculous argument.

The problem with the left is its leaders.  Example:  The east coast is currently suffering an extreme winter storm.  Socialist New York City Mayor Mamdani recently issued a request for assistance in ridding the city streets of snow and will pay those who participate and shovel.  The catch?  Participants must present two forms of identification to be eligible!  Wait a minute!  There is no need for identification to vote, but it is required to shovel snow?
