Are we witnessing the death throes of the Democrat Party?

Death throes (noun) :the violent movements and noises that are sometimes made by a person who is about to die

Perhaps you’ve heard this adage, As California goes , so goes the nation? If that’s the case, then what do these violent anti-deportation riots mean for the rest of America? Are we witnessing the death throes of the Democrat Party?

Since Americans re-elected President Trump by landslide last November, all we’ve heard is a steady stream of hatred, anger and vitriol from the Dems. Now, all of America is witnessing the full crescendo of everything this anti-America, anti-Constitutional party of lawlessness stands for.

California’s leaders are right now figuratively naked for all to see. Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass are not incompetent people, otherwise they would not be where they are today. Never forget that. However, their dogmatic defense of this riot as a political strategy is a head scratcher.

What Americans are viewing are morally corrupt placeholders, enamored of chaos and hateful of their law-abiding , tax paying constituents. Only the most hardcore, bran-dead leftist is shouting huzzah!

Newsom, and Bass are showing their loyalties with the invading anarchists, not the people they are sworn to protect. They excuse their dereliction of duty by blaming Trump as the cause of the violence.

Eight plus years of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has driven this party literally insane. The hatred present in this party is causing the the left to defend the indefensible. Whether it is illegal immigration, allowing men in women’s sports, bathrooms and even prisons, and calling violent insurrection, peaceful protests, the Democrat Party has willfully placed itself at odds against half of the country.

A poll taken after President Trump ordered the National Guard into Los Angeles, show 54 percent of Americans approve of his deportation policy and 50 percent approve of his handling of immigration.

Americans are not buying the gaslighting on the part of the governor, mayor and media. Criminals throwing bricks and cinder blocks at law enforcement vehicles , setting cars on fire and hurling commercial grade fireworks at cops is not peaceful protest.

Meanwhile, lefty Democrats are going bananas. Democrat House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries has recently threatened to dox ICE officers, and Democrat Representative Norma Torres told ICE to “get the F**** out of LA”.

However, not all have gone insane. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa) excoriated his party for not condemning the mayhem in LA.

“My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement,” he added. “I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that.”

As of this writing Mayor Bass announced a curfew, despite the so-called peaceful protests…

While Governor Newsom tries to generate tears as he tells Californians not to give in to the bad Orange Man.

A Bill Clinton appointed judge has rejected Newsom’s order for an immediate restraining order against Trump sending in the National Guard and the Marines.

Stay tuned.

So, are we witnessing the death throes of the Democrat Party? This party has no policy, not a single issue that a majority of Americans favor. All they have now is violence and rage, and they will double down:their TDS will drive it. The dilemma is, their strategy seems to be political suicide.

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.

Unpacking Liberation Day

What have we witnessed in the past six days? All we’ve heard is epic fear mongering by the left , some on the right, and the media over President Donald Trump’s announcement of reciprocal tariffs. Let’s spend some time unpacking Liberation Day.

Hopefully you have marked April 2 as Liberation Day in your calendars, because history will record President Trump’s policy as a generational transformation. Believe it!

“But Dex, the stock market is falling, consumers will be paying higher prices and the world will hate us! ” Yes these things are happening, but only in the short term. It won’t be forever as the left is trying to make it.

How come the pearl-clutchers on the left, the media, and some on the right aren’t asking if tariffs are so bad, why do other world economies benefit from them? Why are tariffs only bad for America? Prior to the 16th Amendment, which made income tax law in 1913, America funded itself primarily by tariffs, public land sales, custom duties and excise taxes.

Countries like Japan, India, Vietnam and Canada have booming economies due to asymmetrical tariff policies on USA products. Canada has slapped as much as 200 percent tariffs on American goods.

America has had this uneven trade policy in place for over 80 years with the advent of the Marshal Plan at the end of World War 2. In fact, the last time America had a trade surplus was over 50 years ago. That’s the 1970’s.

So Trump announces we’re not gonna take it anymore, reveals his Executive Order of reciprocal tariffs to begin the restoration of fair trade and all hell breaks loose. The Wall Street Journal lambasts him, the mockingbird media distorts , Democrats demonize and even Republicans like Rand Paul and Ted Cruz condemn the policy.

Typical. Democrats gonna hate, media gonna lie and certain Republicans gonna bail. That’s Washington baby!

However there’s an obvious detail all the usual suspects tend to gloss over: the word reciprocal. Trump’s policy is reciprocal tariffs, not punitive. Reciprocal means the tariff amounts America places on other countries are based on their actions.

In other words, any increase in tariffs, America will respond in kind. The same goes for any decrease in tariffs as well . Funny how the legacy press ignores that part of reciprocity.

Say, for instance, Canada or the EU reduces its tariffs to 0 , we would respond the same way. with 0 tariffs. Yes, if all these global leaders responded with reductions, Trump would do the same. Instead ,all we’re getting from world leaders is foot stomping tantrums promising Americans will feel the pain.

Why do these leaders bloviate with such punitive rhetoric instead of simply reducing their tariffs? It’s all about the money. The globalists are pissed off because they fear their people finding out their economies are sustained by the tariffs on American goods. Reduce those amounts and you kill the gravy train they’re accustomed to.

But it’s even bigger than that. President Trump is upending the parasitical global economic construct that has grown wealthy on the backs of hard-working Americans.Trump is liberating America from this one-way construct that’s screwed us while enriching every other nation.

And speaking of liberation, it requires will. Whether that liberation is throwing off the chains of tyranny, slavery or even an abusive relationship, there must be the resolve to never return to the way things were, no matter the difficulties. Pain usually follows for the short term, but the long term freedoms make the temporary hardships worth it.

Trump cautions Americans prices will go up initially, but from this will come an economic boom. The expert economists attack Trump’s plan, but what is their alternative to benefit Americans? And what is the Democrat plan? Senator Cory Booker ranted and raved about Trump for 24 hours, and said nothing about his party’s plan to fix our 30 trillion dollar deficit or to bring jobs back.

Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey

First Trump unleashed DOGE and Elon Musk to expose the fraud nd wasteful spending of our federal bureaucracy, and now Americans are learning of a multi-decade trade deficit. Americans’ eyes are no longer closed to how we’ve reached our current economic state. Democrat minions may be vandalizing Tesla Dealerships but the distraction isn’t working.

Every president since Reagan chose to kick the can down the road while telling us “Nahh… it’ll be fine.” Every president except Trump, that is. He’s a brilliant businessman stepping up and doing the heavy lifting because he loves this country. The least we can do is trust him. After all, he took a bullet for us.

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.

President Donald Trump and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

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?

Judicial tyranny , it’s all the Democrats got

Judicial tyranny, it’s all the Democrats got in their efforts to stop the Trump train. Not surprising, considering they are the party of hate and lawlessness.

Nationwide injunctions by federal district judges are unconstitutional: a blatant assault on the Executive Branch and clear violation of the separation of powers. In just two months, radical leftist judges have issued a record 15 injunctions against Trump efforts to deport murderous illegal aliens, remove waste from federal government and remove trans-athletes from women sports.

This is compared to just 14 for Joe Biden’s entire term, 64 for Trump’s first term, and only 12 for Barack Obama’s entire eight years. Of the 127 injunctions since 1963, Trump has 79 of them.

That number is more than the total against all presidents combined before Trump. They’re desperate , folks.

Trump is such an existential threat to their corrupt business as usual practices in Washington DC, so they gotta pull out the stops. The problem is now they’ve jumped the shark with the sheer volume of judicial pushback. Now, the 77.3 million Trump voters are watching closely.

A reckoning is coming.

Trump has the people on his side. Poll after poll has shown approval of everything he is doing . These unelected activist judges are literally thwarting the people’s will.

Trump is rightly ignoring these rulings, causing more apoplexy on the left, which I believe is the goal. Remember, Trump always has a plan.

I’m not privy to any insider information. I’m just a guy typing on his laptop in his office and paying attention.

All you have to do is look at the asymmetric warfare tactics he has engaged the Dems and the Deep State with. He’s attacking their financial pipelines with DOGE, removing their spheres of cultural influence through the shutting down of USAID and the dissolving of the Department of Education.

Does it not figure Trump will decimate these leftist jurists in a similar fashion ? We’re not talking impeachment , but other means the legacy media can’t fathom.

Trump is much more savvy of the Democrat and Deep State tactics than he was in his first term. Don’t doubt for a minute countermeasures aren’t in place.

Of course, he’s counting on the Supreme Court to intervene, once and for all, on this question . However, Trump is smart; he realizes Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett are wobbly .

I’m confident he has one if not several Trump cards in place (pun intended). If so, the Democrats’ judicial tyranny will be just as neutered as their political power. Take heart regarding judicial tyranny, it’s all the Democrats got. The memes say it all.

Thank God for President Trump

Thank God for President Trump. If you study history, there’s no doubt God appoints all leaders for specific times . (Daniel 2:21, NKJV). These are men and women, equipped with certain skillsets, strengths and even weaknesses for God’s will and purposes.

Can you imagine just how terrible things would be right now if Kamala Harris won the presidency and the clowns sitting on their hands at President Trump’s Joint Speech to Congress were in absolute power?
We’d be done as a nation: plain and simple.

Think about the nearly mortal wounds inflicted on this country under the Biden Presidency. From the wide-open southern border, runaway inflation, rising energy prices, to President Biden demonizing half the country as extremists : metaphorically speaking, every day was another cut, gradually sapping our life away.

The Age of Nonsense, that was the Biden era. An apt term– what with the media’s and government’s obsession of convincing us two plus two equals five. If this term is unfamiliar you can read it’s about it here.

Remember these Orwellian examples of two plus two equal five? America is a nation of immigrants, therefore we must have a wide-open border. The covid lockdowns kept us safe by isolating us from loved ones /friends , decimating intellectual/social milestones for children and nearly destroying the economy. Transgendered men competing in women’s sports or accessing women’s bathrooms is perfectly normal.

Biden’s satanic minions slandered us as evil, racist, misogynist, transphobic, xenophobic, bigots, because we rejected their warped moral arithmetic. They tried to bully us into standing down against their wicked morality

However, all their efforts to break us backfired. How did this happen?

One thing about Dems, overkill consumes them when it comes to their enemies. Their efforts to destroy President Trump, whether through corrupt show trials, an FBI raid of his Mar -A- Lago home, and two assassination attempts exemplified this bloodlust.

A “bipartisan” and crooked unselect January 6 committee was the Deep State’s effort to make a Trump conviction nice and legal-like. Under the guise of saving democracy, the pulled out the stops to brand Trump an insurrectionist . That included possible witness tampering and the destruction of any evidence exonerating Trump.

Except, the opposite happened. Americans saw this onslaught on one man and it re-awakened in them an instinctual revulsion of tyranny.

Oh yeah, the nation got red-pilled.

Not Trump’s base, they never abandoned him. However, once solid Dem constituencies such as black men and latinos broke free of the Democrat matrix. A reality check was happening.

For years these black and brown communities protested abuse at the hands of the law. Now they were seeing that play out against the orange man who the media characterized as a racist. Something didn’t compute , hence the red-pilling of these constituencies.

They noted the abuse of the law against Trump and said to themselves, “Trump may have posted mean tweets, but my bank account was bigger when he was President. Food /utilities were definitely cheaper , America was energy independent and we were respected in the world. Biden reversed all of this.”

And so ushered in this golden era of Common Sense, dismaying the Dems. Through this new lens, former Dem supporters now a see a political party losing their minds over the lawful deportation of murderous illegal-alien gang-bangers and willing to die on the hill of transgenderism.

I recently wrote of the Dems as the real party of hate. Their Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has unmasked their loathing of America and this vitriol is literally driving them mad.

God is exposing them for all to see through their TDS. All I can say is, thank God for President Trump.

The party of hate

The headline of President Donald Trump’ joint session of Congress speech is obvious: Trump exposes Democrats as the party of hate.

First of all , President Trump knocked this speech out of the park. It’s probably one of the best addresses he has ever given. Trump was inspiring, warm, funny and truthful, including this best one liner of the night.

There was no moderation of the message by Trump, a refreshing change from the Bushes and reminiscent of Ronald Reagan. In fact, Trump may have even surpassed Reagan. Before you jump my case, keep in mind, Reagan is one of my top five presidents.

Trump did something in his speech that Reagan couldn’t accomplish definitively: he made the Dems irrelevant.

The photo says it all: a petty , demoralized group of partisans , exhibiting a hive-mind mentality. As for the auction signs… absolutely pathetic.

Seriously ,the Dems looked bad. They were glum, dour and scowling, throughout the entire speech.

Of course this paled in comparison to the Sgt. at Arms having to remove Texas Congressman Al Green after his shameful attempt to shout down President Trump . In thirty years of watching addresses to the nation, Green’s behavior was historic in its crassness.

And why does this guy have to share the name of my all-time favorite R&B artist?The superstar Al Green sang about love and happiness, two emotions estranged from his unhinged namesake and from today’s Democrat Party.

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi

The Democrat Party is Godless. They may deny this angrily, but it is precisely that anger revealing this void. The eyes reveal it and so do their glaring, unsmiling faces. Scripture warns us about a heart engulfed in hate.

But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.–1 John 2:11 (NKJV)

Hate poisons the heart, corrupting any right moral judgement. Any decent person would have told Green to sit down and shut-up, but the Dems stayed silent, condoning his disruptive behavior.

Americans not only noted this hushed agreement with Green, they also observed the only applause from the Donkey party was in favor of continuing the war in Ukraine for at least another five years. Trump hilariously pointed this out with Sen. Elizabeth Warren .

They couldn’t even be bothered to stand in support for the families ,whose children were murdered by illegal aliens. Bitterness kept the Dems sitting on their hands when President Trump made a young brain cancer survivor an honorary secret service agent,and when he announced to a young man his acceptance at West Point.

https://twitter.com/_jeff_irons/status/1897147231968616675

Most Americans watching were touched by the people presented by the President during this joint session speech. What a shame that narcissism prevents the Dems from celebrating anything uplifting or worthwhile about the USA. This is what happens when you’re the party of hate.

President Trump delivers joint session Congress speech

Hard to believe it’s been over a month since President Trump’s inauguration on January 20. The world is changing , therefore Trump will no doubt have plenty to say in this speech before a joint session of Congress. Watch

This is not a State of the Union Speech, since that is usually a recap of the President’s past year in office. Although , President Trump has already done more for the people in America in nearly two months, than Joe Biden did in four years.

Nevertheless, Democrats are treating the address like a State of the Union Speech . Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, a former CIA operative, will be delivering the rebuttal .

This is what transparency looks like

You’ve no doubt been following the President Trump and President Zelensky blow-up. I’m not going to waste time rehashing it. What I will say is this what transparency looks like.

Americans got to witness up close and personal President Trump and Vice President JD Vance standing up for the people and the true President Volodymyr Zelensky , minus the previous media narrative.

For years, we’ve heard the narrative of Ukraine standing against Vladimir Putin-led Russia as a fight for Democracy and Zelensky as the heroic wartime president . The media and Biden Administration incessantly reminded us how important it was for America to keep sending money and weapons to defend Ukraine.

The same Zelensky arrived in Washington for what Trump assumed was an agreement for American access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals. as a precursor to a ceasefire and peace with Russia. Instead, Zelensky torpedoed the deal with new requirements causing this now famous back and forth between Trump, Vance and Zelensky cued :

Sure, the heated discussion was like watching a traffic accident playing out, but the clarity is good for the American people. People not only got to see the closed-door discussions usually hidden from the public, they also got to see the real Zelensky as a petulant little man unconcerned with peace.

Trump has blown-up the media-manufactured Zelensky with his throwing him out of the White House. The media is trying their best to portray Trump and Vance as the bully bad guys, but the public isn’t falling for it. Yes, this is what transparency looks like.

Democrat kryptonite

DOGE has become Democrat. kryptonite. The agency is literally showing all Dem power and influence is illusory.

In Superman lore, kryptonite are fragments of Superman’s home world, Krypton. These irradiated pieces of the planet can weaken and even kill the Man of Steel.

Now please don’t think for a minute I am equating the Dems with Superman. While he stands for truth, justice and the American way, the Dems and Deep State are the complete opposite.

The fraud and waste Elon Musk and company are illuminating with DOGE is weakening the Democrat Party and the Deep State. Most taxpaying Americans are righteously angry at such United States Agency for International Development (USAID) expenditures as $47 thousand for a transgender opera in Columbia, over $5 million for gay rights in Uganda, or $17 million for “inclusion” in Vietnam.

Elon Musk presenting chainsaw given to him by Argentinian President Javier Milei

Some are speculating we are witnessing the exposure of an elaborate money-laundering system through DOGE’s initial audit of USAID. Democrats aren’t the least bit pissed off about this defrauding of the US taxpayer. Nahh… they’re instead raging at Elon for his revelations.

Senator Corey Booker defending USAID

You know what DOGE is presenting for everyone to see? Nothing is genuine or organic about Democrat power. The party manufactures, gaslights, and pays for everything.

For instance, DOGE exposed USAID giving millions of dollars to over 600 journalists and over 700 news outlets throughout the world.

Take a look at some of these findings.

The New York Times :

–$50 million from various government sources. Nearly $30 million from Health and Human Services.

Politico

–Over $34 million dollars from various government agencies. Guess who also broke the story of the 51 intelligence operatives claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation? That’s right , the Politico.

Associated Press

— Nearly $20 million in government contracts, over $600 thousand in Deparment of State grants, with funding spikes in 2020 and 2024

REUTERS:

–$9 million from the Department of Defense for “Active Social Engineering Defense and Large Scale Social Deception” ?

$220,000 from the Department of State just last year.

BBC:

— British Broadcasting Corporation not only got $3 million from American taxpayers , Bill Gates also donated $20 million. Yeah, that Bill Gates.

It’s no surprise why media repeats the same narratives from the same angles worldwide.

And since USAID was first in DOGE’s crosshairs, now the Dems are in full-blown meltdown. Trump Derangement Syndrome or is it now Musk Madness , has them so discombobulated, they don’t realize how out of touch they appear to the American public.

What has been done in secret since is no longer hidden from the American people. It reminds me of Luke 8:17:

“For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.”(NKJV)

Everything about the left is bought and paid for according to these revelations. President Trump’s got the receipts for US taxpayers. Just think, we’re only nearing six weeks of this administration. Can you imagine what voters will learn in the next six months?

Btw, the Democrat kryptonite isn’t DOGE, it’s truth. Like the green rock to Superman, Democrats hate the truth because they wither under its power.
