Who Will It Be?

A little detour before we get to the main subject.

I try to put out something twice a week, but not just anything, rather, something substantive and thoughtful and I hope the reader appreciates it. I know I do when reading other’s work. This is something I am going to fail at more often as time goes on for a while here. We’re in the middle of producing a documentary, Deconstruction: The Worldwide Cry For Freedom, and that takes an extraordinary amount of time.

I am, though, going to be uploading videos of our progress to my channel on Rumble called Adventures in Filmmaking. There are three up now and soon a fourth. They may or may not be of interest, but there they are. Together with Concerned American of WRSA, we doing a lot with this documentary. While Lies of Omission was impressive for its insight and predictive abilities, it lacked a bit in production value which we intend to correct with this one. It also helps us build a brand for documentaries that we can carry forth and pursue what both of us have pursued for decades, freedom. Your valued subscriptions to this site aids in all that we do, so thank you.

Now, to get on with the purpose of this post. Trump did two things that surprised and disappointed me. One, is the attack on Iran and while it worked out, perhaps, to his and the nation’s benefit, that’s not what many voted for. While we cannot know the machinations behind the scenes to give tacit approval to such a strike, ensuring the restraint from other nations piling on, it seems very much like capitulation to the RINOs who have long destroyed the hopes and dreams of American citizens. There’s a trade-off there somewhere. Americans want the government out of their lives and RINOs have rarely truly offered that option. Theirs is the typical, “with a little more government, we’ll give you less government.”

This is why when someone like Elon Musk of specious republican (and the small “r” is intentional) leanings proposes an “American” party, it seems a bit odd, but he did get one thing straight: soon, the MAGA or America First or whatever movement that attempts to describe that wide swath of ardent supporters of individual rights and a weak, poor federal government do need some means of expressing their viewpoints and opinions in government and the Republicans aren’t doing that.

Okay, an “American” party. This is a measure to split the Republican party the way another billionaire did in the 1990’s. Ross Perot garnered a lot of support as he pointed out the folly of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and we’re still suffering from that Republican-praised insanity. If any of these ideas of another political party had a chance of working, I’d be inclined to support it, but all Perot did was give us Bill Clinton. Now, if the Democrats also split their party and winner-take-all, that might be a moment when new parties are brought into existence. It happened to the Whigs.

The reason we’re going to need to move past The Donald, is because of the second thing he did, which was claim to want to give amnesty to a whole boatload of agriculture, domestic and service industry illegals. That’s not the way to do it. As is typical, Trump is overplaying his hand and it was probably part of some deal, though how he could be hoodwinked into bombing Iran and this amnesty is beyond me. I still hold a great deal of resentment for Reagan for having done the same thing in the 1980s. As long as one provides a pathway to citizenship for any illegals, of any type, all one does is create more illegals waiting for their amnesty.

We have green cards for which foreign workers have always applied to come here and work. It’s still there, still available, but it has to be done legally and there have to be limits on it. It cannot guarantee, at some future point, citizenship. That’s not the purpose nor the need of this program. The fact that many illegals have not taken advantage of that program but just haughtily broken through the border and done as they pleased for generations doesn’t help the spirit of the nation or the ultimate assimilation other nationalities have accomplished.

Since it’s almost inconceivable to find any other politician with the swagger and appeal as Trump, there has to be a set of principles by which any that follow in his footsteps adhere to. MAGA is not subservient as Trump assumes it is and he’s about to find out the limits of his appeal, but then what?

I recognize that I don’t like everything about any politician and many I find nothing appealing about them at all, but if there is one who seems to have grasped the majority of thoughts along American lines, it’s Tom Massie. I don’t support all of his positions, because that’s impossible, but no one has demonstrated better a willingness to do the right thing, as he sees it, than Massie. Even Trump has backed down on his pledge to deport all of the illegals and this at a time when most of them were self-deporting. What a ridiculous move.

At some point we have to set Trump adrift, but who will take up the standard? I do truly believe that Trump will be able to navigate the world through these turbulent times without a world war (even though it has already started), but shortly after his departure it will erupt in destructive fashion. I may be wrong in that assessment, but that’s all it is, an assessment given current facts.

What we cannot afford is to allow the Republican party to choose the next candidate for us. This is why I support Massie. He’s willing to stand up to Trump, something none of the other snakes in the party are willing to do, but not just to wreck Trump’s agenda, like some, but on principle. He reads the bills he’s asked to sign and approves or disapproves based on an ideology. More weak-kneed party apparatchiks we don’t need.

Massie might split the party, he may be doing so right now, but the party will be split the minute Trump walks out of the Oval Office. While I think Trump deserves a third term due to the interference and illegality he was subjected to in the first, that’s not a serious proposal. The point is, there is a post-Trump era coming and the people of America should take his defining presence for what it’s worth and continue that solidarity into the future. If we don’t, we’re sunk. We might be sunk anyway, but it is ensured if we do nothing but let the Republican party continue on its normal path.

A lot of this would be solved for us, if the DOJ would simply do its job, but I guess that’s asking too much.
