By Nancy Thorner -
We all know who the worst villains in Washington, D.C. are. We hear their voices in our nightmares. We know their names better than we know the names of our neighbors, names such as Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff, Ilhan Omar, Jerry Nadler, Elijah Cummings, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, Barack Obama, Michael Hayden, Mazie Hirono, Richard Blumenthal, Rashida Tlaib, James Clapper, Andrew McCabe, Al Green, Donna Brazile, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Dianne Feinstein, etc., etc., ad nauseum.
Yet whenever we consider what’s wrong with our country—whether it’s open borders, the sacred status of illegal aliens and welfare recipients, our perverted education system, Antifa, sanctuary cities and states, federal judges that mistake their robes for those of God, federal bureaucrats that believe in undermining a presidential election--the blame is placed upon President Trump and even considered an act of patriotism by the so-called villains listed above.
Is it any wonder how easy it is to get downhearted these days?
All you must do is sit through one of the Democrats debates and realize that half the people in America are ready to elect one of the 20 presidential candidates representing their Democratic-Socialist party. No matter whether the eventual candidate is Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Peter Buttigieg, Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Julián Castro, Amy Klobuchar or Beto O’Rourke, more than 60 million people will turn out to vote for the candidate whom they deem best to represent the "donkey" party.
All of the men and women running on the Democrat ticket have little in the way of saving grace. They want to be the president of the United States, but each of them plays identity politics, pitting blacks against whites, illegal aliens against citizens, the young against the old, atheists against Christians and Jews, Latinos against gringos and welfare recipients against the very people whose taxes keep them fed, clothed and sheltered.
If running a business, how could you hire a single person in this crowd unless he or she was one of your wife’s relatives and you had no choice in the matter? Even then, how could you trust them to do anything more than sweep up the place and empty the waste basket.
Trump as a "racist"
Desperate Democrats have apparently decided that the way to win in 2020 is to paint President Trump as a racist, perhaps even a hood-wearing, torch-carrying grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.
Because the thunder was taken from their “Russia, Russia, Russia” war chant, Democrats are putting all their little white eggs in the big racist basket.
“We have a president who actively demonizes racial and religious minorities, who coddles Nazis and Klansmen, and who wields white supremacy as a political weapon,”blared Sen. Bernard Sanders, a 2020 presidential candidate.
Another presidential hopeful, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, told The New York Times that Mr. Trump backs white supremacy with a “wink and a nod.”
Sadly, devastating statistics concerning the black community indicate harsh realities, including a record number dropping out of high school, more than 70% of the community's babies being born to single mothers, while inner city black men prey on one another.
So long as liberal politicians continue to pretend that money is the solution to black poverty and 95% of blacks continue to vote for Democratic presidents, senators, congressmen, mayors and city council members, the basic problem will continue to go unresolved.
Trump as an historic president
As Rabbi Dov Fischer wrote in his commentary of October 19, 2018, shared by Ronald Yates, “Everyone is Smart, Except Donald Trump”:
“Trump’s voters get him because not only is he we, but we are he. We were not snowed flaked-for-life by effete professors who themselves had never negotiated tough life-or-death serious deals. Instead, we live in the real world, and we know how that works. Not based on social science theories, not based on ‘conceptual negotiating models.’ But based on the people we have met over life and always will hate. That worst boss we ever had. The coworker who tried to sabotage us. We know the sons of bums whom we survived, the dastardly types who are out there, and we learned from those experiences how to deal with them. We won’t have John Kerry soothe us by having James Taylor sing ‘You’ve Got a Friend’ carols.”
It is discouraging that so many Republican members of Congress question Trump’s approach to the China problem. Everybody has been griping about the way the Chinese have cheated and robbed us blind for the past several decades. But no president, Democrat or Republican, has had the intestinal fortitude to confront them over their currency manipulation or their theft of our intellectual property. As a result, they’ve been picking our pockets to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars every year and ripping off our technology with impunity.
Former White House strategist Steve Bannon appeared on Fox News “Sunday Morning Futures” in a wide-ranging interview with Maria Bartiromo on August 11, 2019, in which he elevated Trump to an unbeatable superhero status. Through Trump's efforts to hold firm with China on Trade, Trump has started a “world revolution” embodied in a "populist-nationalist movement of standing up for the little guy.”
“Thanks to Trump’s tariffs, China’s economy is in free fall, but GOP senators and House members are complaining that their agricultural constituents are losing money. In a war, lots of people suffer, some more than others. But Trump has done his level best to soften the blow for, say, soybean farmers. Still, nothing is ever going to change unless someone is willing to stand up to the bully, whether the bully makes his home in China, Russia, North Korea or Iran. We should all be grateful that so far at least, Trump has been willing to wage war on the economic front. Better to lose the soybean market than thousands of young American lives.”
Bannon likewise credited Trump in these two areas of achievement:
- In Arizona the Mexican drug cartels control the border on their side. Trump, now with the help of the Mexican government, is out to “break the backs of the cartels.”
- In getting the defense money, the $2.8 billion, President Trump and the Army Corps of Engineers are starting to build long swaths of new wall and replace old wall on the southern border, so things are heading in a positive direction.
July 2019 economic statistics
The number of people employed in July was 157,288,000, according to a report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is a new record for employment in the United States -- up by nearly 300,000 people in the last month alone.
Consumer sentiment held to an elevated level in July.
Black youth unemployment fell to the lowest level in American history.
But the Democrats and their mouthpieces in the fake news media are going all-out to destroy President Trump and sabotage passage of his America First Agenda.
To truly appreciate the difference between those on the progressive side of the aisle and Conservatives, you merely listen to a Trump rally to be uplifted by the sight and sound of so many patriotic Americans in one place.
This should offer hope that despite the non-stop lies of the mainstream media, and that Democrats will pull out all stops to win by either hook or by crook, Trump has a good chance of being re-elected.
The 2020 election represents a fight that must be won for the sake of this nation and for its people.
