Should Trump run again, and should we support him?
In the spirit of the old Chinese curse “May you live in interesting times.”, it is interesting that we have such an incompetent administration in the White House, and interesting to watch them stumble around and lie and spin, and bungle so many things important to Americans. So what to do?
It is clear Trump wants to run again, most likely to face Hillary again. But should he?
If one looks back at his 4 years in office, one sees a record of great accomplishments. Whether foreign or domestic, his administration took on seemingly impossible tasks and won.
We had relatively secure borders.
The economy was booming.
Inflation was nil.
Interest rates were low.
Unemployment was at record lows.
We got a COVID vaccine in record time.
Our relationships with other nations greatly improved.
North Korea and Russia were talking to us.
Our trade was greatly improved, and China trade deal renegotiated.
NAFDA was dumped and a new trade agreement signed that was more fair to the US.
So why would we not re-elect this guy? Answer: The media.
We lived through 4years of Trump in the White House with the media nipping at his heels the whole time. Trump never had a real chance to govern without lies, rumors and innuendo following his every step. He not only had to fight the Dumocraps, there were the false Russian collusion charges, the false dossier, the false inditement of Trump staff, lies and misrepresentations galore, false impeachments and an American public divided, rightly or wrongly, as never before.
I support Trump, and I believe that his record and accomplishments will stand up against anyone’s. In addition he has shown that he can get the job done. He deserves a second term. But what concerns me is that the Cabal, the Deep State, and/or his opponents and the media will pick up where they left off in January 2021, and we will have another 4years like his previous 4 years with fabricated lies, distortions and fabricated scandals as then promulgated by a corrupt leftist media and the socialist/communist Dumocrap Party.
So here’s the question; if we know that Trump will be slandered and face the same opposition and baseless accusations as in his previous administration, would you vote for him in 2024?

But for the record, recall that Cruz was the single most consistently-principled candidate in the 2015-2016 roster until (and after) Trump bellyflopped into the middle of it, and I'm convinced that Kasich refused to drop out precisely because his job was to run interference on behalf of the Establishment types who were scared to death of another "Reagan Republican" actually getting the nomination. Sans Kasich there'd have been a stark contrast between two very different primary candidates; his lingering presence wiped out that clear choice and smeared Cruz as an "also-ran" after the media (enthusiastically,) and the Establishment alike had enshrined Trump, almost from the second he declared, as "frontrunner."
I voted Cruz / Fiorina in 2016 as a write-in, held my nose and voted for Trump in 2020 (primarily because of the alarming events of that summer,) and if Cruz - or another of the caliber of those I just mentioned - is not the 2024 GOP candidate, I will be writing him in again.

Why vote to propagate/advance a system that lacks any semblance of integrity?
Instead, we now have the dirt on them. And Dem Congresscritters are resigning in droves because they know it.
With all that’s being exposed, not only with the immoral politicization of this horrible medical crisis, but also the revelations of the corruption and abuse of power of the deep bureaucratic state, and the vying for power, this next election and the following two terms, will determine the future of this great country. For all the never-Trumpers, the “ivory tower” Objectivists (not the real-world Objectivists), rinos, moderate democrats, and the undecided middle, the following may be enlightening. Many wonder who Ayn Rand would vote for if she were alive, and maybe the conclusion of her letter from Vol. 1, No. 24, 8/28/72, will possibly shed some light. Pay particular attention to her last paragraph.
To the great credit of the American people, the polls taken immediately after the Democratic Convention showed a significant drop in McGovern’s popularity and a significant rise in Nixon’s. At this writing, Nixon leads by the enormous figure of 26%.
I am not an admirer of President Nixon, as my readers know. But I urge every able-minded voter, of any race, creed, color, age, sex, or political party, to vote for Nixon – as a matter of national emergency. This is no longer an issue of choosing the lesser of two commensurate evils. The choice is between a flawed candidate representing Western civilization – and the perfect candidate of its primordial enemies.
If there were some campaign organization called “Anti-Nixonites for Nixon,” it would name my position.
The worst thing said about Nixon is that he cannot be trusted, which is true: he cannot be trusted to save this country. But one thing is certain: McGovern can be trusted to destroy it.
Ayn Rand
From TV's Andy Levy:
"Hillary Clinton is Richard Nixon without the charm."
And from Joanne Nosuchinsky:
"If you don't have anything nice to say, say it about Hillary Clinton."
Each ballot is fed into a machine that only counts the ballot. Later real live (hopefully honest) people takes the ballots out to count the votes.
To do so they would have to rise enough nationally to take note of. The entire establishment is geared toward preventing that from happening. The US should have at least 6 political parties and there should always be a culling process and then a final election process.
Further, all funding to candidates should be nixed with TV and Air time being allotted to candidates on government run entities (CSPAN, NPR, etc.) on an equal basis. Any donated money and additional air/TV time to candidates should be coming from their home states for rally's, publication and transportation costs. All of that should be tightly scrutinized, open to public examination and entirely accountable. Nothing, not a cent (or 250 million cents) should be coming from out of the country.
My opinion, and I wrote about this, we need a NONE OF THESE on every ballot, at ever level and for every idea. A NONE OF THESE winner causes a re-election where candidate have to start again, no refunds and no credits.
I will always vote for the "best" candidate, regardless of their political affiliation...that's why I refuse to identify with a specific party, whenever possible.
But to get the tangent out of the way, the list is obvious and expanding: Ted Cruz, Allen West, Candace Owens, Kristi Noem, Bobby Jindal, Carly Fiorina, Scott Walker, Dan Crenshaw - to name a few.
The man did some worthwhile things, as I said - and these Judgeships will be the most lasting - but this is just the Judicial branch. There is a whole great boatload of things he should've been pedal-to-the-metal on, from Day One.
Trump certainly has some bad advisors, no doubt.
Perhaps worse of all, Like Howard Hughes, Trump is a germ-o-phobe.
Senator (and Dr.) Rand Paul has been tearing Dr Evil to shreds on the witness stand. He ain't long for this world.
Two words: Supreme Court. Not to say that Trump's picks are perfect, but think about what the Court would look like if Hillary had been able to choose three justices.
Also Trump delivered several hundred lower court justices that would have otherwise been selected by Hillary.
New Hampshire is voting on returning to hand count ballots. I attended the public hearings. Write your Congress Critters. Get rid of those infernal machines. They are wired to the CCP.
Kennedy wouldn't stand a chance today in the DemonRat party and I have serious doubts the RinoRepubs would accept him either.
We live in interesting times, and that's not meant to be complementary.
We need a gloves-off fighter. A honey badger of a president who believes in the Constitution and ain't afraid to kick @$$.
