Good morning kids. On the latest edition of our podcast, we discussed the notion of a sea change in the American psyche vis a vis how we as a people, especially those on the opposite end of the political spectrum than us on the right, view government and what the relatively-speaking landslide victory for Donald Trump means in that light. To paraphrase myself, I asked was this election more for Trump and his policies or more about a rejection for sure of the past four years of abject catastrophe unleashed on the American populace by the current tip of the spear of Democrat/Leftism, the Obama/Biden/Harris junta. Given the shift away from Democrats at the voting booth of some of their core constituency groups that have reflexively and generationally voted Democrat election after election, perhaps it's a bit of both. My fear is that given this generational dynamic (and for sure it's powerful) as well as human nature itself to come to terms with seeing things as they are and the difficulty in changing one's worldview to bring it in one with reality. Of course, the existential threat posed by the cerberus that is American academia and the media has done its damage over the course of many decades in keeping so many of our fellow citizens deaf dumb and blind to what's been done to them
The job for Trump, and all of us now, is to connect the dots, as please-GOD, Trump's policy successes expose the cancerous fraud that has been Democrat-Leftism and globalism, which can put this nation and people back on the road to peace, prosperity and sanity. Of course, the forces of darkness and evil will not cede their power nor take the rejection this past Election Day with anything approaching humility and acceptance, from an electorate they view with disdain at best, and as a herd of sheep at best.
It is bitterly ironic that those who reject the judeo-Christian principles that are or were the bedrock foundations of our government and the civil society, are the ones that are convinced that they have a mandate from heaven to preserve, protect and defend the bastardization of the latter that they and their ilk have wrought, by declaring we the people of We The People as an evil and existential threat. Perhaps the major crime against the people that the Left and their enablers are guilty of is the erased border, and complete degradation of our society and security on every level it has created. And look at the reaction to Trump's plans to both seal the border, restore sane immigration policy, and deport the millions of alien invaders who wreak havoc by their mere presence.
Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston vowed Thursday that he would refuse to support Trump’s mass deportation operation, asserting that he would have the backing of the city’s police and residents. On “The Victor Davis Hanson Show,” the host called out Johnston and suggested that Trump should withhold federal funds from the city if it refused to comply. “That’s insurrection. That is exactly what South Carolina did in 1832,” Hanson said. “Think about that — ‘Donald Trump is a mass murdering Mao Zedong type of government, and all of these people are dissidents.’ The irony is that the only way that the city of Denver can feed and house these immigrants is to get federal funds. All he should do is, any jurisdiction, there’s 600,000 of them, who says we’re going to nullify, just like our Confederate ancestors, we’re going to nullify federal law because we are morally superior to the federal government. So we’re going to not enforce federal immigration law.”
. . . “He should say, ‘Everybody has a choice. If that’s your choice, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Johnson, I admire your integrity and your courage. Here’s what’s going to happen. You’re not going to get one penny of federal funds to house your immigrants, and if you continue to do it each week, we’re going to have another federal program you’re not going to get. Because you don’t like the federal government! You don’t expect it,'” Hanson added. “So you’re not going to get federal highway funds the next week, federal education. Just keep going and tell me when you want to stop.”
Frankly, I prefer Tom Homan's plan to deal with this garbage:
President-elect Donald Trump incoming border czar said during an interview this week that he is absolutely willing to have far-Left Denver Mayor Mike Johnston thrown in jail after Johnston said that he would obstruct federal immigration officials from carrying out deportations in the city. Johnston said in an interview with a local publication that he would deploy the Denver Police Department “at the county line to keep them out.”
Bill Wells, the mayor of El Cajon, California, claimed in a Monday post on X that the State of California “is threatening to take pensions and charge police officers with felonies if they comply with federal deportation laws. While the Trump administration is working to enforce immigration laws, California seems intent on blocking these efforts.” Wells makes it clear that El Cajon, a city of approximately 100,000 people located 17 miles east of San Diego, is not a sanctuary city and that his police officers “are being put in an impossible position.” He wrote: If they comply with federal immigration authorities, they risk felony charges and losing their hard-earned pensions.
Well, perhaps California and other jurisdictions should lose their statehood and sovereignty, and returned to being Federal territories. Unfortunately, the idiosyncrasies of electoral politics and a Judiciary that vacillates between protecting the Constitution and its purview over the encroachments of the other two branches (especially when Democrats control the latter two) means that this idea might not work to our advantage in the long run. Nothing short of the complete evisceration and dismantling of the anti-American Left and Democrat party is going to work. Ripping them out root and branch from every aspect of our society, which is what should have been done in 1865 is the only way forward.
But can we destroy the Constitution to preserve it! Must we defer to a corrupt judiciary when they abuse and bastardize that sacred document and grovel at the knee of hacks in black merely because they wear those robes?
Something that Trump and we must ponder as the forces arrayed against him and us plan the next four years of resistance, insubordination, insurrection and perhaps even terrorism, to the will of the people who voted for him to curb and end the long train of abuses against us.
Have a great day, and may your holiday preparations and travels go smoothly and safely. I will be posting tomorrow.
Until then, my friends.
