So, America has survived over a week of President Trump’s second term and the hyped “authoritarian” takeover hasn’t happened (that’s sarcasm mocking the mind-rot of the elite Left btw). If President Trump makes a dent in only two existential threats to America, this presidency will be a stunning success.
If Trump secures our borders and follows through on his efforts to deport millions of illegal immigrants from within our country, that will make America a much more secure nation for we, the American people. No sovereign nation can survive if it allows millions of foreigners to flood in and wantonly disobey its laws, thus placing the rights and security of lawful citizens at risk.
The Trump administration has hit the ground running on tackling this complex and massive illegal immigration national security nightmare. The illegal immigrant influx was deliberately put into motion by the Biden administration and supported by Democrats and the liberal elite of America. Never forget who caused this illegal immigration crisis.
The second threat is a twofer combination – national security in regards to rebuilding our military and posturing American might, by using all the levers of federal power to DETER the increasing threats posed by China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and the growing list of nations that are opting to lean into their orbit over leaning into the American sphere of influence. The world is in the midst of a serious, traditional great powers competition, so in foreign policy terms the world is back to thinking about foreign policy terms like “sphere of influence” and looking at the world based on terms of real state power rather than babbling streams of meaningless clichés, that sound important, but are nothing but hollow talking points.
Trump promises to rebuild our military’s strength and follow an assertive policy of promoting peace through strength, dealing with our friends and foes alike. He also has promised to refocus our military back to warfighting rather than all the DEI social-engineering programs on steroids, that the Biden administration implemented. It should not only be goodbye to DEI, it should be goodbye to the radical feminist agenda too, that has often taken precedence over sound military judgment.
Focus on getting the “1st female” or women into all MOSs for decades has led to both bad warfighting manning decisions, caused endless rifts in unit cohesion, and not done anything to improve male and female soldier welfare. You don’t have a serious sexual assault issue in a military culture that builds strong, cohesive teams. Cohesive teams don’t tolerate sexual assault by team members against other team members. They demand RESPECT of all soldiers, at every level, up and down the chain of command.
Having women in every job doesn’t mean something, as far as warfighting capability. Female representation is a political objective, not a warfighting one. What matters is real performance and high standards. Feminism objectives have clouded military decision-making, at all levels of command, where too often political considerations get in the way of making the sound warfighting decisions, based on the evidence of research and merit-based assessments (performance). There are real physical and psychological differences between males and females, that should be considered. There is a solid bed of scientific research into human brain function differences, both cognitive and emotional, between males and females and thus some of those differences will impact battlefield decision-making and performance and it shouldn’t be taboo to state this.
Trump has hit the ground running on this policy effort too.
Of course, I have a few disagreements with a few Trump positions, a few of his picks for cabinet positions, and a few of his statements so far, which is to be expected, because of my contrarian nature. I am not a go along to get along kind of person and I avoid joining any bandwagon or becoming a “loyalist” to any politician. For instance, I greatly admired President Reagan, but I still took issue with a few Reagan policies and I think the Iran-Contra scandal reflected poorly on his administration and left a taint that should have and could have been avoided. It was a totally preventable scandal, in an otherwise noteworthy presidency.
The whole world knows who is in charge in the Trump White House and that is a good thing for America.
While the Democrat meltdowns and liberal media histrionics will continue, I feel less worried and am spending time working on my own home and less worrying about who is really running things in the White House. The Democrat scandal that was the Biden administration, will likely never get the investigation and scrutiny it deserves, but I believe powerful Democrats knew of Biden’s cognitive decline during the 2020 election, yet chose to create a Potemkin village around Joe Biden, to cover-up his unfitness for office and actual medical condition. Four years of the WH run by a nameless committee and Biden family should never have happened in America. I’m glad we now have a POTUS, who is on duty and openly communicating with us every day.
I’m working on trying to clean out my garage and closets. Plus, I want to get busy on starting some seeds under grow lights for my container garden and get busy cleaning up my containers, so my blog-writing probably will be sporadic for a bit.
Overall, I’ve breathed a big sigh of relief that we can view the Biden administration in the rear-view mirror – Amen to that!
