The ridiculous New York case against Daniel Penny has resulted in an acquittal. This case should never have been brought up. Daniel Penny only restrained a berserk drug addict who was threatening the passengers on the subway. The alleged choke hold had nothing to do with the drug addick's death. Imagine the effect against future good samaritan behavior after the racist lawfare attack against Daniel Penny.
I have been amused at how the leftist elite who have been demonizing President Trump are now flocking to Mar-a-Lago, with hat in hand hoping to kiss up to the man they called Hitler. This reminds me of a historical period at the end of Napoleon's reign. Trump is no Napoleon, but consider these similarities.
After Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo, he was exiled to the island of Elba in the Meditaranian. After a short period, some of his loyal followers rescued him and brought him to Southern France where a loyal army of supporters started the march to Paris. The following are the series of (Translated) Parisian newpaper headlines as Napoleon marched to Paris in 1815:
Here is where President Trump's situation dramatically differs from Napoleon's. Whereas Trump is now established as a winner and the man to fix America, Napoleon's attempt to come back was thwarted and he was sequestered on the island of Saint Helena where he died in 1821. In the 1960's nuclear activation analysis performed on a lock of Napoleon's hair showed that he had died from arsenic poisoning.
I am looking forward to President Trumps's success in correcting the course of our country.
Much has happened in the last few weeks. Democrats are chastizing us "stupid voters" for our "ignorence" in voting the way we did. We filthy deplorables have ruined their plans to make us the Peoples Republic of America. However, President Trump's Cabinet appointments are strong and should turn the tide against the insane policies of the Biden administration.
Finally, the ridiculous New York case against Trunp has been effectively dismissed.
Unfortunately. the situation about Congressman Matt Goetz has derailed his cabinet appointment. I suspect that he was set up with an underage female, Tsk. Always check their ID's when they say they are over 21.
The appointment of Tom Homan as Border Czar indicates a robust and vigorous application of legitimate law to deport illegal aliens who have knowingly crossed our borders during the effective (Harris) shutdown of U. S. border security. Especially targeted are gang members from Venezuela and orher Southern nations. Compassion will be given to the legitimate cases of desperation where actual danger is threatoned from the country of origin. However, asylum cases must be verified.
It will be interesting to see how many mayors and governors will be willing to go to jail to protect their illegal immigrants and foreign criminals in their "sanctuary" cities.
World leaders are flocking to President-Elect Trump. Mexico has suddenly agreed to stop illegal imigration to our Southern border, Canada has also been suddenly more cooperative; and the Israeli's are quite happy that we will now support them more vigorously against HAMAS and Iran. Truces have been declared and warfare is being curtailed. Obviously, the world realizes that there is a new Sheriff in Town.
I am so elated at the outcome of the 2024 National Election! It has renewed my faith in Democracy as a governing principle. Although COVID aftermath and lies from the fake-news establishments (and nefarious vote harvesting) skewed the 2020 election; this time enough voters saw through the egregious lies and distortions and voted accordingly – and decisively. Trump even won the popular vote.
Flyover country has won a victory over the liberal coastal enclaves and university cities. I rejoice even as an academic. (We engineers are required to think logically.) I give my condolences to those who bought the lies and still refuse to wake up and smell the coffee. The glaring democrat insults to the American way of life can be summarized:
Opening the Southern border of the United States to all who wanted to enter (without vetting for background checks) flooded the country with millions of dependent people who soaked up so much of the FEMA resources that American hurricane victims on our Southeast coast were left without even close to adequate support. In addition, numerous criminal elements were brought in and have wreaked havoc on communities and individuals. Numerous murders and rapes are attributed to these elements.
Since I live in Texas and watch the Rio Grande Valley where I grew up, I see literal fortresses in the farming areas because illegal immigrants swarm the countryside. The now owner who purchased my old family farm has had to build a fence surrounding the house that would be typical in a gated community.
The American economy has been brought to its knees by the incompetence and vindictiveness of the Democrat administration. Cancelling energy development projects and Trump tax cuts that had boosted our economy has caused enormous inflation such that gasoline prices are up by over 50% in some areas. Some are accumulating credit card debt in order to buy groceries and to pay for rent.
Also, planning a tax on Anticipated Capital Gains is the most egregious attack on family savings since the 1933 confiscation of gold by FDR. Anticipated Capital Gains would mean that if your house appraisal went up from $300k to $400k, you would have been required to pay tax on the increase in value – even if you didn't want to sell it.
Some taxes are necessary but no nation ever taxed itself into prosperity.
Is it not telling that the stock market sky-rocketed when President Trump's victory - along with a Republican Congressional victory was established?
The United States has lost a great deal of prestige in global affairs. President Trump had boxed in troublemakers such as Iran, The Caliphate and North Korea to the extent that they were not an immediate threat. "Sleepy Joe" Biden was a very weak President who did little to curtail the aggressiveness of the Islamic terrorists who intend to destroy Israel – (and then the rest of us.) Russia would not have attacked Ukraine had Trump been in office.
Then, there is the so-called "woke" culture. Who thinks it is fair to allow a strapping, husky male to compete against women in a physical sport division set aside for female players? Just because he decides to identify as female does NOT make him eligible to cheat in this manner. And screw the pronouns!
I have no problem with individuals who dispute the gender in which they were born. I have family members and relations who are either transgender or homosexual. Godspeed to them. I love them as they are. However, no one should carry any endowed physical advantage across gender lines for competition.
