Don’t Count Joe Out.

The Day After
It’s the day after July 4th, and DEMS in every corner of every room are piling on Joe simply because he has a lapse of memory now and then. And yes, because he sometimes has difficulty knowing his way around various kinds of auditoriums. Well, who doesn’t? Can you imagine how many audiences he visits? If you care to pay attention, you will see celebrities of all kinds, including Royal families, being ferried around by their “handlers.” So cut the poor guy some slack, especially considering how much he’s sacrificed for the American people. At great personal risk, he was willing to help the people escape Donald Trump’s vicious policies — his vile language, racist intolerance, international blunders and economic stagnation. And help them escape he definitely did, giving them a a new America that does away with the antiquated, horse & buggy ideas dreamed up ages ago by a bunch of white men wearing wigs. Joe did a lot; so don’t count him out, despite the wailing of DEM naysayers. Just a couple of days before the debate, four billionaire white men were ready and willing to give Joe four more years. Their support should be proof positive that he’s the real deal. These financial geniuses are not political dummies. Everyone knows they want what’s best for America. No one listens to mean spirited cynics who cruelly think that billionaires profit more from a Democrat administration than from a GOP administration. So if the billionaire set doesn’t count Joe out, you shouldn’t either. As the months go by leading up to November, you will see him flash that winning smile and display the fighting spirit and stamina that America loves. By election day, Democrats will show up in droves to punish Trump for picking on their beloved leader. And the Democrats who don’t show up won’t fail to do what they do best — mail in millions of ballots, collect ballots and feed them to well oiled machines. Meanwhile, GOP volunteers will stake out polling places as they always do, scanning suspicious faces and watching to see if their party can manage to turn out 50% of its registered voters. The GOP is famous for counting chickens. Who can forget the “red wave?” Similarly, GOP pundits seem confident 2024 is done. They say Biden’s departure is imminent. They say this as Biden shrewdly goes about his business, betting on Independent voters who tend to swing left. Independents — these are people too smart to be fooled by political parties, taking great pride in neutrality,  not taking sides and not getting bloodied.

Only One Reason
You are led to believe millions of people won’t vote for Biden because he got lost in a competitive quagmire of words. At least he appeared lost. You are supposed to believe many people will switch to Trump — including the mega wealthy — because Joe is senescent. That’s a big word for “whacky.” What foolishness. The guy blew one debate on a bad night. How do you know Kamala didn’t slip him a mickey? You do remember Kamala. Believe it or not, she’s the Vice President — the only politician who can make a half hour speech by repeating two sentences. More likely than not, Biden is being set up because the odds makers are making book he loses against Donald. There are dozens of reasons to vote against Joe but the damaging debate isn’t one of them. Pick any of the reasons you want — the border, energy, spending, Ukraine, Covid corruption, inflation, Hunter funneling bucks to Pop. You, the author of this rant, chooses only one reason. It has a foreign name. Kabul. Everyone connected to the Kabul evacuation — including Biden — should have been impeached and removed from office.

Shameless Details
At the time, you learned that 13 members of the military were killed and millions of dollars in military equipment left behind. You had no details. The details are these: **

“By most measures, $7.12 billion is a little more than a “fair amount.” Vital military equipment and munitions – paid for by American taxpayers and intended to keep Americans and our allies safe – were just handed over to the Taliban, including:

$4.13 billion in military vehicles,  including 12,000 military Humvees.

$923.3 million worth of aircraft, including nearly 80 vehicles abandoned at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul.

$294.8 million in over 180,000 air-to-ground missiles and 50,150 practice munitions.

$47.2 million in 9,200 guidance, control, assemblies, fuses, or launchers.

“Nearly all” of the communications equipment, including base-station, mobile, man-portable, and hand-held commercial and military radio systems, and associated transmitters and encryption
devices.

More than 300,000 of the total 427,300 weapons supplied by the U.S. for Afghan forces.

“Nearly all” night vision, surveillance, “biometric and positioning equipment” totaling approximately 42,000 pieces of specialized equipment.

“Nearly all,” of the explosive ordinance disposal and de-mining equipment, including 17,500       pieces of explosive detection, electronic countermeasure, disposal and personal protective
equipment.

The Taliban now has state-of-the-art U.S. military equipment to impose its authoritarian rule over Afghan citizens, sell weapons to our enemies, and perpetuate an unstable Middle East.”

Ominous
Millions of intelligent, well-informed Americans were ready to double down on Biden before the debate and many still are. Think of that fact when you think of the atrocity in a foreign land, not to speak of the arocities at home. The thought is ominous.

No Damn Doubt About It.

Foreword
The Constitution of the Unites States of America
is not a Charles Dickens novel. It is a strict declaration of governance — of rules how the United States is to be managed. It primarily is a declaration that enumerates the jurisdiction and responsibility of the Federal Government. Above all, the States feared a central government; thus were specific about limiting its power. So there’s nothing ambivalent about it. It outlines precisely what the Federal Government is allowed to do. Period. All jurisdictions not so designated are the province of the individual States. Simple. No ambiguity. A few pages of sheer brilliance that rang the bell of freedom and changed the world. As you know, of course, beginning with the reign of John Marshall in 1801, the Supreme Courts of the United States decided that the Founder’s work needed the benefit of a “modern” intellect, that the Founder’s work should be interpreted — should be continuously sliced and diced, reformed, remodeled and fundamentally changed. Giving you what? Giving you the Annotated Constitution. Giving you 3000 pages and 10 pounds of meddling with what originally was divine inspiration. Understand it. No one in America lives by The Constitution as it was written. “So, you are not free. Not free as the Founders intended. Nor free as God ordained.”(Fodder, 09/22/17)

Pretending
Give it up, Matilda. You can’t turn back the clock. The Constitution is unknown to the majority of Americans, even those who bitch the loudest about their authoritarian government. Consider for a moment that the ultra right wing John Birch Society is the foremost opponent of the Constitutionally grounded Convention of States Resolution. The Birches self righteously sit by year after year as The Constitution dies by a thousand cuts and as the Republic drowns under Federal tyranny. But the Birchers don’t sit alone. Everywhere you look, people play “pretend.” Pretend that mind numbing debt just goes away. Child indoctrination ends. The justice system finds integrity. Illegal immigration shuts down. Government/corporate pay-to-play double dealing stops on a dime. Fools, all.

Expectations
And now the country pauses and holds its political breath. Top left wing donors and party faithfuls finally see Sleepy Joe as a liability. Other smart money says a new DEM warrior will draw swords with Trump in November. Whichever candidate is anointed has a decent chance of winning because the same dimwits that voted for Biden in 2020 and Obama in 2012 are still out there — who, by the way, represent a majority. And never forget, the Washington DC power structure, including the GOP aristocracy, still hunger to kick Donald into “the ash heap of history,” if not to prison. While you’re at it, never forget that women outnumber men, and everyone knows what bodily organ a bunch of them care about — uh, it’s not their brain. Include the Media Cartel, the Military Industrial Complex, the Big Three financial “managers” (BlackRock, Vanguard & State Street) and finally all lovers of Woke City and ESG. Primarily, the only people left to oppose liberal (code for Socialism) lunacy are the Middle Class. You’ve heard of them — the commoners, the working class, the local yokels, etc. If you haven’t met them, they are Americans who want work and independence. They make no group identity demands. Factually speaking, they are Trump voters who expect him to honor The Constitution — to restore ethics, integrity, virtue and justice to America’s institutions. And they expect him to shrink the power and jurisdiction of the Federal Government. Impossible expectations? Yes, the smart money says. Definitely, yes.

Walk Tall
But Trump can still attempt to repeat his 2016-20 economic achievements. In just two years, Biden policies wrecked America’s economy and plundered Her treasury. The restoration to fiscal sanity will take much, much longer — longer than a single term. Unfortunately, you must anticipate Democrat hostility and dirty tricks, reminiscent of Russian collusion and other lies. Even if the GOP should win Congress, there’s no reason to feel reassured. This cynical outlook suggests that Trump supporters must avoid hero worship, as if he would ride into Tombstone, and single-handedly round up the Clantons, rescue the townspeople, create economic prosperity and operate an honest casino. No doubt the man will walk tall enough and work his ass off; but his most important decision will be choosing a running mate — someone who has a chance to give the GOP — hopefully a virtuous GOP — a 12-year-run.

Epilogue
Of course, you can’t trust the GOP. Therefore, you can’t leave these repetitive themes without repeating the pleas for COS. Once again, neither Trump nor any other warrior will ever bring the Federal Government in line with its Constitutional, limited power — that means never — until 34 American States ratify the Article V provision for a Convention of States. It is the only remedy. Donald Trump will be remiss not to recommend COS — and place his name alongside the Founders. This is not hyperbole, you see, because it’s what the Founders would do. No damn doubt about it.

What Fun It Would Be.

The Felon Waits

Since America is run by a low-class crook, abetted by Congress and federal agencies awash in corruption, it seems only fitting that America should have a GOP presidential candidate who has been judged a felon and awaits sentencing. How ironic is it that corrupt, unethical bureaucrats, in and out of office, could sit in judgment of a former President? Nothing would enliven the history books more than to have Donald John Trump sitting behind bars on election day, especially if the American people elect him in a landslide. What fun. What fun that would be. To see Media Trump haters attempting to hide their disbelief and anguish, to watch Whoopi and Joy wriggle and squirm. What fun it would be to gauge the expression on the face of super RINO Mitt Romney as he attempts to pretend he’s still a decent human being. What fun it would be if some creative designer would put together a meme of a Bobblehead Donald coming face to face with a Bobblehead Robert Dinero, saying to him, “How do ya like them apples, you worthless piece of shit?” What fun it would be if Donald never utters one negative word; in fact, never brings up his torment at the hands of all the baddies that put him and his family through hell. What fun it would be if Statesman Donald Trump makes an inauguration address dwelling exclusively on positive days ahead, never once alluding to Biden or his atrocious record. What fun it would be if, Lincoln-like, he reaches out to bind up the nation’s wounds, revealing not a sign of animosity toward the Democrat Party war machine. What fun, then, when the dust settles and all the political protocols are accomplished, would it be if Donald would matter-of-factly and quietly, with no comment, begin to purge Deep State operatives from top to bottom — like ripping out tattered roof shingles. What fun it would be if, in his first news conference, he would, without rancor, play the role of Media Consultant and call on all members of the “press” to restore the principles of objective and truthful journalism. What fun it would be if he exposes the “pay to play” graft that exists between major corporations and elected officials. What fun it would be if he immediately eliminates the Department of Education. What fun it would it be if Donald quickly shuts down the Southern border, restores domestic energy independence, demolishes coercive regulations and once again sends a clear message to the world that America will have no part of the WEF globalist agenda, including the politicized climate accords and WHO authority. What serious fun it would be if he brings together all the health agency heads for a “come to Jesus” soiree. What major fun it would be if his newly appointed DOJ investigates and thus exposes the dozens of former and current elected officials guilty of perjury, malfeasance, misconduct and fraud.

Send a Message.

But there won’t be any fun in November if voters of every race and party affiliation don’t put aside their group identities to save America’s Constitutional principles. Seldom is there such an opportunity to put America ahead of self interest and send a message to Washington elected officials: you are not rulers but servants, and you are not above the law.

Wake Up.

No President in America’s history has experienced the gauntlet of abuse experienced by Donald Trump. The abuse began in 2015, accelerated during his term of office, advanced further when he dared question 2020 election results and exploded in 2023-4. You have to ask, “Why?” The answer is as plain as the prodigious nose on your face and it’s time everyone took off their prejudicial blinders to acknowledge it. With very rare exception, nobody in Washington wants the guy. “Why?” Because he’s not one of them. He’s a bloody merchant, for God’s sake. Because he’s a businessman who threatens to derail the lucrative gravy trains that roll into D.C. from many directions. It’s just that bloody simple, Matilda. The Beltway fears him. The people who profited most from the Trump presidency were the Little People — Minorities and Middle Class. Previous to Donald’s tenure, as well as now, the only people who have profited are the Big People — the Military Industrial Complex, the Corporate Giants, the  DC Beltway denizens, the Wall Street inhabitants and one Oval Office occupant who watches gravy pour into his greedy lap via his “foreign policy.” Trump takes great risk at being President again. Too many people have too much to lose. And what does Trump have to gain? Recognition? Dynasty? Legacy? Wake up America.
