Our America dodged a veritable cataclysm on November 5th when it elected Donald Trump again to be President and accorded the Republican Party majority status in both houses of Congress. In so doing, the electorate realized the fentanyl-like poison pill being proffered by Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and the cabal of the Democratic Party’s federal leadership to enable the national suicide of America’s constitutional republic and our still mostly free society. Not only were the nails of necrotic finality not driven into the lid of the assembled coffin, but the lid itself was decisively lifted off and pushed away. The body of America as conceived by its Founders now has a real chance again to revive and restore itself, to the benefit of not only its own citizens but all those who prize “I” freedom, prosperity, safety, and security in the world. It really is a new dawn, fresh with hope and great promise. Enforcement of the nation’s borders; mass deportation of illegal invaders; the full prosecution of all criminals; reductions in mindless public spending; revitalization of the armed forces; a recalibration of national social mores; a reactivation of national natural energy resources; stabilization of the U.S. dollar; reduced national taxation; and a serious purification, pruning, and paring of federal power and its agencies. Just to name several salient objectives. Much can and will be written about all of them, and others, in the coming weeks and months.
As of January 20, 2025, the clock on the future of America and Western civilization will be reset, but the clouds of uncertainty will still be present, both at home and abroad. And ominous they shall continue to be, as well. The forces driving the attempted immolation and deconstruction of America have not been vanquished yet, only shunted aside in the homeland. All our foreign enemies are still both here and abroad, and so great discernment, resolve, and dedicated effort will be needed to root them out and neutralize them at home and, in the global sphere, stand up to and, as needed, confront them. China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and their many international proxies will be warily watching how the new America will proceed next year. They wonder and ponder, “How strong and projective will America be?” How will they act and respond to further their geopolitical aims? And, on the domestic front, some of those same proxies (such as Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as “our own” Antifa and BLM) may well loom as new threats. And, adding to this witch’s brew of bad actors, what will the extant cadres of MS-13, Trend de Agua, and the several narco-cartels now operating inside our nation do? Informed speculation suggests: PLENTY.
While America may reasonably expect the economic climate to improve markedly soon after Trump takes power, to the benefit of all working and retired people, and those seeking work, our civil society will nonetheless face the risk of severe disruptions in response to the actions Trump & Co. undertake to realize their policy aims of securing the nation and people from the many ills that beset it today. The Democratic Party and its minions will be aching to obstruct truly most, if not all, of the new administration’s initiatives and efforts, through all of lawfare, usual legislative maneuvering, passive and active resistance by hostile state governors and mayors, street protests and petitioning demonstrations, orchestrated strikes and work stoppages, and even – oh, it’s so very unnerving to imagine, a la 2020’s “Summer of Love”! – organized violence, to include riots, arson, looting, and even killings and assassination. Prudent citizens will make reasonable plans to protect themselves, their families, and their properties, from any and all such possible mayhem, through the self-provisioning of food, water, medical supplies, energy sources, alternate comms devices, and mutual community support. Let everyone hope that none of this will be necessary, only an exercise in harmless overcaution and laughable “paranoia”, rather than a savvy prescience.
Like so many, I will be watching as events unfold in our homeland and around the planet, and I plan to commence commenting again as my information, intuitions, and enduring perspectives merit it. May all on our Earth be blessed with peace, safety, health, prosperity, and security this holiday season — and long beyond!
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HANNUKAH!
