Blackpilling and Doomerism

Blackpilling and doomerism, courtesy of America Firsters. By the way, do you even know what blackpilling is? Do you know what a doomer is?

Tired man working at a computer in a cluttered bedroom at night

They are the same thing. And you need look no further for current examples than certain so-called “America First” conservative influencers who appear determined to fracture MAGA.

I had heard both terms tossed around without clear definitions, so I looked them up. Here is the distilled reality:


Blackpilling (or “taking the black pill”) is internet slang for adopting a deeply pessimistic, fatalistic worldview. It means accepting certain harsh realities as permanent and concluding that personal effort, self-improvement, or political change is ultimately pointless.
It builds on the red-pill/blue-pill metaphor from The Matrix:
• Blue pill: remain comfortable in the illusion.
• Red pill: see unpleasant truths about society, power, and culture.
• Black pill: accept those truths and decide nothing can be done about them.

Hope itself becomes the delusion.

Doomer is the personification of that outlook: someone who believes society, the economy, culture, or civilization is in irreversible decline and that things will only get worse. The mindset blends hopelessness, inevitability, apathy, and dark humor. It stands in direct contrast to any activist or optimistic stance.


The common denominator is hopelessness.

It is bad enough that legacy media and the Democratic Party push this blackpill/doomer mindset. What makes it particularly corrosive is when it comes from voices once trusted by the right.

During the Obama and Biden years, many patriots turned to these influencers for clarity and a measure of hope. Even as policies weakened the country and eroded constitutional norms, those voices validated people’s observations and feelings. That trust was earned and is now being spent.

The clearest examples right now are Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and Steve Bannon.
Bannon is the instructive case.

Unlike some of the others, he rarely attacks Trump directly. He does not deploy “anti-Christ” rhetoric the way Tucker Carlson has, nor does he call for the 25th Amendment the way Alex Jones repeatedly has. Instead, Bannon targets administration figures, Kash Patel and others, as incompetent or as feeding the president bad advice.

The effect is the same: it plants the idea that President Donald J. Trump is being manipulated by those around him. Coming from voices whose audiences are overwhelmingly MAGA, the tactic is especially effective at sowing doubt without requiring an open break.

Whatever the individual style, the product is uniform: no optimism, little acknowledgment of tangible successes, and a steady drip of doom. Recent coverage of operations involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz serves as a case study. The dominant message from this group has been fear: President Trump is losing, nuclear war is imminent, and boots are about to hit the ground.

Largely absent is any serious discussion of the strategic upside: disrupting a critical global energy chokepoint and weakening adversarial regimes that have long served as proxies for broader anti-American interests.

Why now, with the most consequential midterm election in a generation approaching? Undermining the most pro-American president in living memory seems strategically self-defeating for those who still claim the “America First” label.

The practical alternative on offer is not some purified movement; it is Democratic control of one or both houses of Congress. Treating President Trump as functionally indistinguishable from Biden or Obama is not analysis; it is propaganda.

Motives are fair game for speculation. Are some of these voices influenced by foreign money that benefits from American division? Are others simply resentful that the president does not take their advice? Those questions remain open precisely because the daily output is so consistently hostile to the administration their audiences elected.

President Trump’s 2024 victory was not complicated. Americans looked at open borders, institutional DEI, managed economic decline, and the deliberate stoking of racial and gender division and decided they had seen enough. They voted for a hard stop. Turning around two years later and telling those same voters that their choice was a catastrophic mistake is not tough love. It is blackpilling and doomerism.

On influencers

Influencer is a word I’ve come to notice and dislike instantly. When you hear the term social media influencer, doesn’t it sound Orwellian? As if someone is openly admitting they are there to shape how you think.

Speaker connecting with audience symbolizing unified consciousness and one voice
A speaker connects minds with an audience symbolizing unified consciousness and collective voice.

As Americans, we should be bothered by that. Hell, it should piss us off.

There are influencers across the political spectrum, but for this piece, let’s focus on the so-called conservative influencers.

What I’m about to say may irritate some people, but many conservatives became vulnerable to influencers because we spent years being vilified by the media and mainstream culture. We were labeled racists, sexists, bigots, and homophobes simply for holding views that, not long ago, were considered normal American opinions.

As a result, conservatives became eager to rally around anyone who sounded like they were finally articulating what we were thinking. The moment someone appeared intelligent, confident, and willing to fight back, we granted them credibility almost automatically. We quoted their podcasts, shared their clips, and repeated their talking points in conversations as if they were gospel.

Over time, I realized that many of these figures were not truly leading a movement. They were managing an audience.

Some of these influencers say just enough to keep people emotionally invested while steering them away from meaningful action. They keep the audience angry, engaged, and constantly consuming content, but rarely move beyond that. It’s like slowly releasing steam from a pressure cooker just to make sure it never explodes.

People start believing they are fighting for the country after spending hours listening to podcasts, watching clips, reposting commentary, and arguing online. But consuming political content is not the same as political action. At some point, outrage becomes entertainment.

In recent months, many people began noticing cracks in the façade as several prominent conservative figures started turning against President Trump and attempting to fracture MAGA support. You know the names: Candace Owens, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, Ben Shapiro, and others.

Clockwise from left to right: Candance Owens, Megan Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Nick Fuentes and Alex Jones

Carlson especially stands out to me.

I remember telling friends around 2020 that something about Tucker didn’t sit right with me. This was in the aftermath of the 2020 election, when millions of Americans were questioning the integrity of the vote. Whether or not people agreed with those concerns, I felt Carlson seemed unusually eager to move on from the subject and redirect attention elsewhere.

At the time, I even submitted a piece to a mainstream conservative website questioning Tucker’s loyalty. Apparently, the article struck a nerve, and the site’s head published a counterpiece alongside mine.
Not going to lie, I started second-guessing myself afterward. I wondered whether I had unfairly criticized the guy or misread the situation entirely.

Then Fox News fired Tucker, and for a while I thought maybe I had been wrong. Some of his independent work was genuinely solid. I even wrote publicly that I might have misjudged him.
But his recent attempts to divide MAGA only reinforced my original instinct.

And that’s the main point of this article.

If your gut tells you something about a public figure feels off, don’t ignore it just because that person is popular, polished, or constantly praised online. You do not owe blind loyalty to influencers, commentators, or political celebrities.

The word influencer itself should make Americans uncomfortable.

We are descendants of people who rebelled against kings, crossed oceans, fought wars, built businesses, raised families, and carved a nation from the wilderness because they refused to be controlled. Americans were never meant to sit around waiting for internet personalities to tell them what to think.

Despite all the propaganda meant to convince us otherwise, we are not helpless, weak, or stupid.

Trust your instincts. Think for yourself. And take everything influencers tell you with a grain of salt.

Congratulations, Democrat Party

Congratulations, Democrat Party. You have demonized President Trump to the point that your most extreme supporters have deluded themselves into believing that assassinating him is equivalent to killing Adolf Hitler.

Go ahead. Keep denying your harmful rhetoric to your mainstream and social media champions all you want. We, the American people, now hear what you are hoping for.

Alleged would-be Trump assassin Cole Thomas Allen runs through a Secret Service checkpoint at White House Correspondents Dinner on April 25,2026

What you appear to hope for is that one of your deranged followers does your dirty work, giving your party plausible deniability. Let me clarify what I mean by “party” before I go any further in this piece: I mean the Uniparty, the globalist elite worldwide. 

The Democrats are the gatekeepers of the globalist agenda in America: driving manufacturing out of the country, making this nation energy-dependent on foreign nations, creating sociological divisions, replacing capitalism with socialism, vilifying white people, aborting babies, ravaging the younger generation with fentanyl, legalizing marijuana and mainstream pornography, destroying the family, eliminating Christianity as the foundation of morality and law, corrupting justice, crushing the concept of merit, and using education as propaganda.

Quite a list, isn’t it? What’s more, I ask what this portends for America?

In a sane reality, this political party and the ideology it represents would be seen as the soulless, demonic enemies of this country and the free world. If you don’t believe me, compare the policies of Democrats and globalists with those of President Trump. He’s begun removing illegal aliens, starting with the most dangerous, and is making the country energy independent, returning manufacturing, reducing crime, stopping the flow of drugs into the country, growing the economy, securing elections, celebrating Christianity, re-establishing the Constitution as the foundation of our law, and honoring the Founding Fathers. He’s also removing us from NATO, the Green New Deal, and unequal trade deals. Most importantly, Trump is upending the geopolitical and economic framework that has destroyed the wealth and prosperity of average, hardworking Americans.

Are these policies fascist dictates from a would-be king? That’s what globalists, Democrats, and Republicans in Name Only (RINOs) are feverishly trying to convince you.

This is America First playing out before us in real time. We are also witnessing the abject fear and hatred among the global economic elites who will lose trillions of dollars if Trump’s policies take hold and become irreversible.

This is why Trump is vilified 24-7 in the global propaganda media: he is an existential threat to their system.

Folks, this is no longer a matter of right versus left or of Republican versus Democrat. We find ourselves in the middle of a battle between good and evil. This is not a mere cliché or a hyperbolic description that dismisses the humanity of the other side. No, this is a comparison of two opposing values.

American flag correctly oriented, half light half darkness

Patriotic Americans value the rule of law grounded in the Constitution and in Bible-based morality, revere the flag, celebrate American history, respect the hardworking, taxpaying American citizen, and honor the family based on marriage between a man and a woman. The Democrat Party, in its current state, reflects the policies of its globalist fellow-travelers, who hate America as founded (including the Constitution and the flag), want government to overrule the family, twist the law to celebrate perversion and punish those deemed enemies, despise free speech, loathe the 2nd Amendment, protect criminality, smear their enemies as racists/fascists, disparage biblical Christianity, demonize the police and military, foment chaos and rage, promote lies as truth, and have no qualms about using violence to achieve their ends.

How many times over the years have you heard these hypocrites bitching and moaning about the need for more gun control? That is, until three would-be assassins failed to kill President Trump. Then, social media is abuzz with a certain segment of leftists who are pissed off that these wackos couldn’t complete the task.

According to a 2025 Rutgers University study, half of those identified as left of center had no problem with someone murdering Elon Musk and President Trump. A 2025 YouGov survey revealed that over 20 percent of self-described younger and very liberal Americans believe political violence is justified, compared to just 6 percent of conservative Americans.

Courtesy YouGov

A radical and dangerous element has taken over the Democrat Party. I know the proper description is “Democratic” but that association has nothing to do with the current party. That’s why I just say Democrat Party. Moderates are looking around and realizing this is not the Democrat Party of their parents and grandparents. Hence, they are leaving in droves. Stone-cold communists and Marxists are calling the shots in this party. They have nothing to offer but fear, intimidation, slavery, and wrath.

The masks are off, and more people are seeing what the left has to offer and want no part of it. Congratulations, Democrat Party. You not only succeeded in demonizing your enemies but also, in your hatred, managed to demonize yourselves.

The MAGA “Fracture” Narrative Isn’t Organic—It’s Being Sold

The Goal is to suppress voter turnout for the midterms

You’ve heard the claim: MAGA is fracturing. But what if that MAGA “fracture” narrative isn’t organic: what if it’s being sold? In other words, pushed, amplified, and repeated to create the very disengagement it predicts?

Courtesy: Politico.com

The media keeps repeating it. Political insiders echo it. Even some conservative voices are starting to lean into it. The message is clear: Trump supporters are supposedly turning on him, disappointed, divided, and ready to walk away.

I don’t buy it.

What I see instead is a coordinated effort to create that perception: loud enough, constant enough, and emotional enough that people start questioning what they already know to be true.

Because that’s how you weaken a movement. If you can’t defeat it outright, you convince its own people it’s falling apart.
Over the past few months, the talking points have been everywhere:
• “Trump is too focused on foreign policy.”
• “He’s ignoring the economy.”
• “This isn’t what voters signed up for.”
• “Nothing’s happening fast enough.”

You’ve probably heard some version of this from friends, social media, or commentators who claim to speak for the base.

But step back for a second.

Who is actually pushing this, and why now?

If you look closely, a lot of this “internal criticism” is being amplified by voices that were never fully on board to begin with. Some of the loudest critics today were openly skeptical, or outright hostile, to Trump in previous cycles. Now suddenly, they’re positioning themselves as protectors of the movement, warning that it’s lost its way.

That should raise an eyebrow.

At the same time, legacy media outlets are more than willing to spotlight every disagreement and frame it as evidence of a civil war. We’ve seen this playbook before: selective amplification, repetition, and narrative framing used to shape perception rather than simply reflect it.

That’s not accidental.
Division is the objective.

If enough Trump voters believe that the movement is fractured, or that Trump has somehow “betrayed” them, the outcome is predictable: people disengage. They sit out. They tune out right when it matters most. And that has consequences.

If Republicans lose one or both houses of Congress in the midterms, the policy agenda stalls. Gridlock returns. And the door opens, again, for endless Democrat investigations and political theater.

Now let’s talk about the substance behind the criticism.

Conservative influencers tell us Trump is failing on the economy because his focus is overseas; that this isn’t what voters wanted.

But what do the underlying trends suggest?

The United States is attracting major investment in the energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing sectors, which are directly tied to long-term economic strength. Capital flows, domestic production, and industrial investment don’t move on headlines; they move on fundamentals. And right now, those fundamentals point toward continued energy development and the reshoring of key industries.

President Trump and Japan Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi after Japan pledges $56 Billion investment to bolster U.S energy and infrastructure

That matters. That’s not narrative, that’s tangible economic direction.

On foreign policy, the concern has always been endless wars: open-ended conflicts with no clear objective. Voters are right to be wary of that. But limited, strategic actions are not the same thing as the prolonged nation-building efforts that defined the last two decades.
That distinction rarely makes it into the headlines.

Here’s the bigger point: movements don’t collapse because of disagreement. Disagreement is normal. It’s healthy.
They collapse when their own people start to internalize a narrative built to weaken them in the first place: when frustration turns into disengagement.

Right now, there’s a clear effort to shape perception, attempting to turn uncertainty into doubt, and doubt into apathy.
And that’s where voters need to be careful.

MAGA has grown stronger over the past decade and is certainly not as fragile as some would have you believe. However, anti-MAGA forces are trying to convince enough people to lose confidence at the exact moment their participation matters most.

At some point, it comes down to a simple choice: Trust what you’re seeing, or trust the narrative being handed to you.
And history shows those aren’t always the same thing.

Oh, and one final note…
If you’ve been hearing the “fracture” narrative everywhere lately, it’s worth asking:
Are you seeing it?
Or are you buying the narrative?

It’s not Republican v. Democrat-It’s about direction

Look, I’m sure you’ve been as frustrated with the Republican Party as I have. Too many in leadership come off as weak, reactive, and more concerned with playing it safe than actually winning. And yeah, sometimes it feels like they’re doing just enough to irritate their own voters heading into the midterms.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, flanked by Senate Leaders speaks to the press

So, let’s just say it plainly: this isn’t about Republican versus Democrat anymore.

This is about direction. It’s about leadership. And right now, the driving force behind the Republican Party is Donald Trump. There is no version of the GOP that wins nationally without him. That’s just reality.

President Donald Trump, the driving force of the GOP

Make America Great Again (MAGA) isn’t some side movement: it is the energy of the party. And that’s exactly what makes the establishment uncomfortable. They’ve spent years trying to manage it, soften it, or sideline it. That hasn’t worked, and it’s not going to.
Take the SAVE America Act as a perfect example. Requiring proof of citizenship to vote should be a political layup. Polling consistently shows broad public support for voter ID, including among independents and even some Democrats. And yet, delay, hesitation, and excuses are the refrain of Senate Majority Leader John Thune and usual RINO (Republican in Name Only) suspects. We hear about the filibuster, about not having the votes, and about not wanting to open the door to amendments.


Let’s be honest: If the Democrats were in the majority, do you think they would hesitate to nuke the filibuster? Not a chance. They change the rules immediately.


Yet, there may be a workaround to Senate Majority Leader Thune’s trepidation.

As explained by From Real Clear Politics:
“Reconciliation allows Congress to pass legislation affecting federal spending and revenues with a simple majority vote. Debate is limited, and the 60-vote threshold does not apply. It is a standard part of the congressional process that both parties have used when priorities demand action.Democrats used reconciliation to finalize key provisions of the Affordable Care Act. Republicans used it to pass the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The precedent is clear and well established.”

Republicans also used budget reconciliation to pass the Big Beautiful bill in 2025.

That’s the kind of thinking voters want to see: less handwringing, more action.

But here’s the reality: despite your frustration with the GOP, you can’t sit out the 2026 Mid-Term Election. Because in the short term, the mission is simple: win. Hold the House. Take the Senate. Build a majority strong enough to actually move an agenda. And yes, that may mean supporting candidates you dislike. That’s politics. It’s not always clean or easy, but it’s how you get results.

The bigger picture matters more.

We’re on the cusp of something major here: a new golden age for America. Trump is not only remaking the political, economic, and national security framework of America, but his policies and decisive actions are doing the same to the geopolitical order that’s been in place since the post-World War 2 era.

So yeah, be frustrated. That’s justified. But don’t lose sight of where this is going.


If the party drags its feet, voters can and should hold them accountable. That’s how this works. But walking away entirely? That just hands the advantage to the other side.

For now, stay focused. Stay engaged. Play the long game like Trump is doing.

You don’t have to love every piece of the machine, but if you want it to move in your direction, you still have to help push it.
All good? Good.

Why is Tucker Carlson suddenly MAGA enemy #1?


Why is Tucker Carlson suddenly MAGA enemy #1? It’s because Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin say so.

Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro


According to these two, Carlson is an antisemitic because of three unforgiveable reasons: 1) He dared to question foreign aid to Israel and our involvement in their wars, 2) at the Charlie Kirk funeral, he compared Kirk’s assassination to that of the Pharisees’ call for killing Jesus, and 3) Tucker committed the unforgiveable sin of giving an honest interview to Nick Fuentes. They want Tucker canceled, humiliated, and ruined.

Tucker Carlson (L), interviewing Nick Fuentes (R)

So, let’s get this straight: questioning US foreign aid, quoting Scripture, and practicing free speech means you are evil incarnate? That’s what Levin, Shapiro, and much of the conservative elite are decreeing.

My question is, who made them the arbiters of Make America Great Again? Oh, that’s right, themselves. Funny, how these MAGA purists hated Donald Trump when he first ran for President in 2016. They angrily declared Trump was a threat to conservatism in the same panicked tones currently calling for Tucker’s career demise.


During his radio program in 2016, Levin ranted about Trump being an existential threat to the conservative movement. It reached the point where Levin’s show ratings plummeted. I used to listen to Levin when I was a neophyte conservative. His unhinged rantings about Bad Orange Man removed the scales from my eyes. I also used to listen to Shapiro. However, I stopped when he suggested that Trump losing to Hillary Clinton in 2016 would strengthen conservatism.

So now these former Trump haters are dictating what we can question. They are deciding who we shouldn’t listen to. They are also telling us what we should believe. Historically, those advocating for cancel culture have sought to limit people’s exposure to specific information. They fear such revelations may threaten their narrative and/or agenda. That’s true on both the so-called right and the left.

This united cadre of cancel culture is creeped out by the possibility that the words of hated individuals may resonate. They worry that these opinions might click with the masses. Remember this the next time you hear someone labeled as a bigot, racist, Uncle Tom, sexist, homophobe, or anti-Semite. Consider who is doing the shouting. The media, politicians, and academia do this en masse.

Why is Tucker Carlson MAGA enemy #1? He’s doing his part to help people make up their own minds, rather than allowing gatekeepers to hold sway over them. With the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there is a leadership void. A national figure is missing, one who appeals to the hearts and minds of young men. The conservative elite fears Fuentes taking up that mantle.

Do I agree with everything Nick Fuentes, Alex Jones, or even Tucker Carlson say? No, of course not. Let me also say that at one time, I thought Tucker was controlled opposition and did not trust him. My opinion has since changed, and I regard Mr. Carlson as a true patriot.

However, I reserve the right as an American to choose whether or not to listen to what these men say. Shutting them down and throwing the Nazi word around, with reckless abandon, is undoubtedly not MAGA.

Are Fuentes and Carlson as evil as Shapiro and Levin claim? If they are, why not simply debate them? Such an exchange would challenge and expose their supposedly dangerous ideas for all to see. Perhaps Shapiro and Levin have not announced such an event because they fear losing the argument. They might believe the public will not side with them.

That’s the beauty of freedom of speech– exposure to ideas you can either accept or reject. This truth is something the conservative elite has chosen to ignore and wants Americans to forget.

Is Proposition 50 a slam dunk?

Is Proposition 50 a slam dunk? California media reports suggest so. However, certain tells may indicate otherwise.


The biggest tell is the Democrats’ use of President Barack Hussein Obama (BHO), Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), and even Senator Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren in their latest commercials.. Bringing in their heavy hitters suggests a genuine concern that voters may plan to reject Prop 50.

Here’s the truth: Prop. 50 is nothing but even more absurd gerrymandering of districts to add five more Democrat congressional seats. This, to counter the Texas Republicans doing the same, in the Lone Star State—at least that is the justification. The ads would have you believe Newsom and Democrats are doing this to protect Democracy and resist President Donald Trump.

Uh-huh. What the Democrats are really trying to prevent is their House of Representatives numbers from shrinking further.

Gerrymandering has been going on for decades, especially in blue states and especially in California. Republicans regularly win 40 percent of the vote in the Golden State, yet out of 52 districts, only nine percent are won by the GOP. This 17 percent underrepresentation is because of gerrymandering.

Prop 50 would take away redistricting from the so-called non-partisan Citizen Redistricting Commission and transfer this power, “temporarily,” to the Democrat legislature. Newsom and the Dems believe voters are stupid enough to think they will relinquish this authority when Trump is stopped. LOL!

Apparently, internal polling must be showing the voters aren’t totally on board for this BS, hence the presence of BHO, AOC, and “Pocahantas” Warren. The problem is that BHO has no coattails. His endorsements have no pull. The latest example was Barry Hussein failing to shame black men into voting for Kamala. How did that work out? The plain truth is that an ever-growing number of Americans dislike Obama.

AOC–to put it kindly– is a mental lightweight, and “Pocahontas” Warren is a shrill liar. Trump dubbed her Pocahontas because she lied for years about claiming Native American heritage to receive academic promotions.

Let us not forget Newsom’s incompetence as governor for two terms, most recently during the Palisades Fire. Remember this viral image of Newsom caught lying to an evacuated homeowner, claiming he was on the phone with the president?

Governor Newsom caught lying to Palisades Fire victim.

And who could forget his hypocrisy during the pandemic when the media infamously caught him dining with friends at an exclusive restaurant while the rest of California was locked down?

Governor Newsom dining at the exclusive French Laundry in 2020

Considering this disingenuous and shameless bunch, are most Californians really falling for their so-called defense of Democracy? I’m hoping recent trends make this seem unlikely.

Trump flipped eight additional California counties red in the 2024 election, and Republicans are surging with voter registration in the Golden State. Republicans gained over 46,000 new voters statewide, while Democrats lost over 30,000. Hispanics and blacks also turned out in record numbers and voted for Trump. Does this sound like Prop 50 is a slam dunk? Sure, history has shown many Californians tend to be brainless voters, but are they suddenly believing these serial liars are telling the truth?

All the Dems have is making this election against Trump when, except for Democrat wailing and gnashing of teeth, voters are seeing a President trying to re-establish the rule of law in America, and especially in blue states.

The dirty little secret is that the Democrats have made Republicans impotent in this state by gerrymandering. What they are calling for now is wringing out more redistricting to the point of absurdity.

Prop 50 has nothing to do with preserving Democracy in the classic sense, but instead has everything to do with slowing the will of Americans who want this party out of power for at least a generation.

Key Takeaways

  • Democrats use high-profile endorsers like Obama, AOC, and Warren, indicating concerns about voter rejection of Prop 50.
  • Prop 50 aims to increase Democrat congressional seats through gerrymandering, countering similar actions by Texas Republicans.
  • The proposition seeks to transfer redistricting power from a non-partisan commission to the Democrat legislature temporarily.
  • Gavin Newsom’s past failures and the political landscape show signs of growing Republican support in California, contrary to Democrats’ claims.
  • Ultimately, Prop 50 focuses on preserving Democrat power rather than genuinely protecting Democracy.

Throwing off the chains of tyranny

Happy Independence weekend! This time of celebration deserves prayers and praises to God because we are in the process of throwing off the chains of tyranny.

Think of what we experienced in the past four years. Americans have been through a worldwide pandemic, unconstitutional lockdowns, masks, coerced covid vaccinations, the summer of love, taking a knee, J6 political prisoners, transgender madness, drag queen story hour, a stolen presidential election, record inflation, and skyrocketing crime and homelessness in our once great big cities.

Where were the political leaders willing to fight for us?There was no one of significance, save for President Donald Trump.

President Trump returning from an Iowa Rally celebrating the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill July 3, 2025

The only man in the past eight years who put Americans first was under constant assault from a corrupt ruling class headed by the puppet President Joe Biden. They tried to embarrass him, bankrupt him, imprison him. When that all failed, they tried to kill him.

Mugshot of President Donald Trump August 24, 2023

However, their efforts backfired. Instead of demonizing Trump a he became a cause celebre, gaining the attention of Democrat blacks, Hispanics and moderate whites. These rational people saw through the witch-hunts and the Kangaroo courts and began to ask ,”Why is there so much opposition against this man?”

Americans listened to the character assassination of Trump as a Hitler, Stalin or Mussolini and questioned. They saw no concentration camps, gulags, brown shirts or political imprisonments under this man’s presidency, unlike the murderous dictators the propaganda media kept comparing him to.

What Americans saw playing out was a crucial link in the chains of tyranny. It wasn’t enough the wicked authoritarians wanted to break our spirit, they tried to destroy the one inspirational figure to the patriotic people of the country.

They tried and failed. In fact, the tyrants of the left and the deep state shot the proverbial wad. In trying to eliminate Trump , they created an almost mythological figure. The image of him rising ,wounded with his fist in the air and yelling to “Fight, fight, fight!” is indelible.

Trump defiant after assassination attempt in Butler, PA Sept. 13,2024

Patriots know he’s only a man, but they also know God appoints certain people for the times. Trump is the man for these times of righting the American ship. MAGA loves Trump because they know he genuinely loves the people of this country.

That’s the difference between a hack politician and genuine statesman. Oh yes, Trump is a statesman along the lines of the Founding Fathers.

“Seriously Dex, you’re comparing Bad Orange Man to George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson?” Yes I am. Like these great men, Trump is a transformative figure, unmotivated by political expediency. His focus does not seem to be himself, but instead, the freedom, prosperity and security of the American people.

Like the Founders, he also risked everything, including his life, fortune and sacred honor.

In many ways he symbolizes all we’ve overcome in these last four years, which makes Trump’s re-election such an historical landmark. He is the living embodiment of that American tenacity that never quits, despite overwhelming odds.

I don’t know about you , but this was the first Independence Day in five years where peace, not worry, was my first thought about the direction of America.

How appropriate President Trump is heading the nation as it begins the year long celebration leading to its 250th birthday. Throwing off the chains of tyranny symbolized this nation at its founding and now. Happy Independence weekend!

Reagan on tariffs

A friend sent me a Facebook post about Ronald Reagan on tariffs. Perhaps you watched it, or maybe this will be your first view.

Anyway, here you go:

Obviously, the left sharing this video of a Reagan weekly radio address is a strategy to invalidate President Donald Trump’s enactment of reciprocal tariffs and to divide Reaganites and MAGA.

I watched the video a few times to determine the context. From what I can decipher, either Reagan is talking about other countries issuing tariffs using America as a metaphor or he is describing why America should not ever rely solely on tariffs. Based on my limited research, I’m inclined to think the latter.

Keep in mind, Reagan championed free trade, (the buzzword of the 80’s and 90’s) and was a proponent of NAFTA and amnesty: both of which turned out to be terrible for America.

Obviously things were different in the eighties and Reagan certainly could not have foreseen the damage done to the USA .The Gipper is still one of best presidents America has ever had, but it appears , at least based on this context, he appears to be wrong on tariffs as he was with amnesty.

Perhaps there is more to this clip and if so, please feel free to post. I don’t mind anyone proving me wrong on this one.

Please watch the previous video and let me know your thoughts.

Wake up Canadians

Wake up Canadians. President Trump is not threatening your sovereignty. He’s trying to snap you out of the delusion that everything is fine in your nation: it isn’t.

Trump calling for Canada as the 51st state, is a troll. Seriously, why would Trump make the 51st state a country steeped in socialism? Sorry, but most Canadians would likely vote Democrat to keep their socialized health care benefits, because it’s what they’re used to. That would only hurt America.

Don’t you get that? Trump’s comment followed former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stating any reciprocity in trade with the United States would hurt Canada.

For decades, Canada slapped huge tariffs on US exports such as a 270 percent tariff on dairy products, for example. In both 2023 and 2024 America imported more from Canada than it exported, resulting in a trade deficit.

Interestingly , America has a trade deficit not only with Canada, but most of the world. Trump is calling for reset.

From White House.gov:

“AMERICA WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES: The United States is one of the most open economies in the world, yet our trading partners keep their markets closed to our exports. This lack of reciprocity is unfair and contributes to our large and persistent annual trade deficit.
There are endless examples where our trading partners do not give the United States reciprocal treatment.
The U.S. tariff on ethanol is a mere 2.5%. Yet Brazil charges the U.S. ethanol exports a tariff of 18%. As a result, in 2024, the U.S. imported over $200 million in ethanol from Brazil while the U.S. exported only $52 million in ethanol to Brazil.
The U.S. average applied Most Favored Nation (MFN) tariff on agricultural goods is 5%. But India’s average applied MFN tariff is 39%. India also charges a 100% tariff on U.S. motorcycles, while we only charge a 2.4% tariff on Indian motorcycles.
The European Union can export all the shellfish it wants to America. But the EU bans shellfish exports from 48 of our states, despite committing in 2020 to expedite approvals for shellfish exports. As a result, in 2023, the U.S. imported $274 million in shellfish from the EU but exported only $38 million.
The EU also imposes a 10% tariff on imported cars. Yet the U.S. only imposes a 2.5% tariff.
A 2019 report found that across 132 countries and more than 600,000 product lines, United States exporters face higher tariffs more than two-thirds of the time.
This lack of reciprocity is one source of America’s large and persistent annual trade deficit in goods: closed markets abroad reduce U.S. exports and open markets at home result in significant imports, both of which undercut American competitiveness.
The United States has run a trade deficit of goods every year since 1975. In 2024, our trade deficit in goods exceeded $1 trillion.
Thanks to the proliferation of non-reciprocal barriers in just the last few years, the U.S. now runs a trade deficit in agriculture, worth around $40 billion in 2024.
Though America has no such thing, and only America should be allowed to tax American firms, trading partners hand American companies a bill for something called a digital service tax.
Canada and France use these taxes to each collect over $500 million per year from American companies.
Overall, these non-reciprocal taxes cost America’s firms over $2 billion per year.
Reciprocal tariffs will bring back fairness and prosperity to the distorted international trade system and stop Americans from being taken advantage of.”

Any change in the one-way benefits from the U.S. Economy means Canada cannot survive. Simply put, Trump said if Canada cannot even put together its own military and defense then it should become America’s 51st state.

Instead of taking offense, my Canadian brothers and sisters, you should be taking inventory. For all your re-ignited patriotism , has it crossed your minds that for a supposed sovereign country , your leaders have made you dependent on another nation for your national defense and economy ?

You’ve become a “pass- through” economy , assembling goods from other countries for distribution in the United States. Get it? Canada , once an industrial rich nation now only puts together other nations’ products.

Wake up Canadians! How can you throw your support for the liberal government that has ruined your country because it considers climate change policy and socialized medicine more important than the people? Are you so gullible as to consider President Trump the source of your problems?
