When Donald Trump was re-elected in November of 2024, all those who loved America expressed much more than a sigh of relief. The election signaled that our nation could survive. We knew to the nth degree that a Harris Administration, and all that went with it, would doom us within four years, if not two.

All of the revelations that have occurred since Trump took office, about the Leftist lawfare, criminality, and outright treason, would not have come to light. Donald Trump's fifth year in office has been so impactful that conservatives are agog. Here is a man who speaks his mind and does what he said he was going to do, at rapid speed. Closing the border, reducing crime, lowering inflation, inducing huge investments, etc., has now made us eager to read the news.

Donald Trump’s efforts in arranging ceasefires and peace negotiations between warring factions have been well documented. He removed from the federal government those who were receiving paychecks for little or no service. The way in which he conducts his televised cabinet meetings is a master class in leadership. His accessibility to reporters far exceeds anything that anyone can remember.

Views of the Brainwashed Left

On the heels of so much success, it is easy to overlook the millions of individuals who don't see any success and believe that our nation is going down the tubes, led by a fascist. En masse, they digest the fakestream news from Minneapolis.

Nonetheless, if you listen to one of Trump's top advisors, attorney Stephen Miller, you can't help but marvel at his clarity and logic, and the heartfelt way he expresses himself. Yet, he is utterly reviled by the Left, who call him the most vicious names on earth. Miller is Jewish, yet he's endlessly been called a Nazi, which, of course, makes no sense whatsoever. Countless others who wield power in the Trump administration are verbally attacked daily.

With the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the shooting of two National Guard members, and the murders at Brown University and MIT, can anyone prudently say that top administration officials such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, Director of War Pete Hegseth, Health and Human Services Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard will be safe for the remainder of this Administration? No one on the Right is foolish enough to believe so, because the Left, quite demonstrably, has moved farther away from sensibility and sanity than anyone could have surmised even a few years ago.

Boisterous for Buffoons

Consider a buffoonish individual like Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who makes demonstrably ridiculous statements about the safety and security of citizens in Illinois and Chicago. The facts tell a completely different story, but that, apparently, is of no consequence. To anyone with common sense, it doesn't seem possible that Pritzker would be a popular governor, capable of being re-elected. Yet, surveys of Democrats in Illinois indicate that he is popular.

Illinois is not an anomaly. California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are frequently filmed surrounded by avid supporters, as are other Leftist governors, mayors, and members of Congress. For all that the Trump Administration has accomplished, untold numbers of people on the Left want Trump dead. With exceedingly minor exceptions, those on the Right did not call for Biden’s execution.

These poor brainwashed Leftist souls, thoroughly under the spell of the fakestream media are what Vladimir Lenin termed “useful idiots.” They are the ones writing letters to the editor, castigating the Trump Administration. They appear in street protests, holding pre-printed signs designed to carefully create the image of significant resistance to Trump's policies. Most of the resistance has been expertly crafted by Leftist billionaires and others who know that their views are in the minority, but continue to pull the strings of all the puppets under their spell.

Not Years or even a Decade

Our struggles with Leftists and the Leftist media machine are not likely to subside in months or years, or even the next decade. The struggle before us will take many decades. Most of us will no longer be alive and our offspring must carry on the fight if they have the will. The Left will never give up. They are zealots.

They’re intent on destroying the nation, making it simply another country on Earth, to facilitate the installation of their long-desired one-world government. This goal propels them in ways that are difficult to understand if you're not part of their giant, brainwashed cult.
