COUNTDOWN TO TRUMP’S INAUGURATION: 55 DAYS
Trump’s Warning
Over the weekend, dozens of migrant children showed up at the Texas border. Among them was a two-year-old girl who was all alone. The girl had a note with a first name and a phone number. She told immigration officers that she was looking for her mother and father, who were already in our country.
Meanwhile, another migrant caravan of at least 1,500 people is heading north to the U.S. border. They are hoping to reach the border and be admitted by the Biden/Harris administration before Donald Trump is inaugurated on January 20th.
Reacting to this news, President-elect Donald Trump issued a warning yesterday to Canada and Mexico: Stop the illegal immigration and flow of drugs into the United States or pay a price. Trump posted:
“On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!
“Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!”
If Joe Biden made an announcement like that, you could easily hear the laughter across the border. No one takes him seriously.
But Trump wasn’t done. He also put communist China on notice, writing:
“I have had many talks with China about the massive amounts of drugs, in particular Fentanyl, being sent into the United States – But to no avail. . . unfortunately, they never followed through, and drugs are pouring into our Country, mostly through Mexico, at levels never seen before.
“Until such time as they stop, we will be charging China an additional 10% Tariff, above any additional Tariffs, on all of their many products coming into the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
The Trump era has begun! This is what America First looks like.
Donald Trump is signaling now that the incoming Trump/Vance administration will put our citizens and taxpayers first by ending the burdens of open borders in terms of crime, resources, and the poisoning of our people.
Defending the borders of our country, looking out for taxpayers, and ensuring the safety of our citizens – it’s just common sense and what any reasonable administration would do.
But whether it’s open borders, transgender insanity, or climate change hysteria, the radical left demands that common sense and reason must give way to its ideological extremism.
Not Following The Rules
The Biden White House and the Washington Post are going nuts that Donald Trump is not following the traditional rules of presidential transitions. Here’s how the Post put it:
“Since his victory, Trump has ignored many of the rules and practices intended to guide a seamless transfer of power. . . Instead, the president-elect . . . has so far almost fully cut out the government agencies his predecessors have relied on to take charge of the federal government.”
The article whines about the fact that the Trump transition team has not signed agreements with the General Services Administration (GSA), has not involved the State Department in his calls with foreign leaders, and is not using the FBI for background checks on cabinet nominees.
Do they think Donald Trump is an idiot? He would have to be an idiot to think that things should be done the way they have always been done.
Trump is not using the GSA because it spied on him during the first transition and may have even set him up after the Biden transition.
When presidents call foreign leaders or when foreign leaders call presidents, there are always a few people on the phone from the State Department, the National Security Agency, and perhaps other three-letter agencies. Trump was told these calls were absolutely private, protected at the highest level of security.
His calls were leaked and used to impeach him. President Trump couldn’t make a phone call without elements of the Deep State defying the will of the people and trying to take him down.
The FBI is corrupt. We know that. Even as far back as the Reagan administration, the FBI was already being politicized when it came to background checks. I know from personal experience.
Don’t forget what the FBI did to Trump when he was taking office in 2017.
All the way up the chain of command, left-wing hacks embedded in the FBI made up a lie about Donald Trump being a “Russian asset.” They took that lie to the FISA courts, where they lied again, to monitor Trump and sabotage his presidency before it got started.
Don’t forget that fired FBI Director James Comey bragged about avoiding standard procedures when he sent FBI agents to the White House to entrap Michael Flynn before Flynn knew what the rules for interacting with the FBI were.
Now Trump is supposed to go to that agency and trust them to clear his nominees?
Democrats are demanding background checks to confirm Trump’s appointments. No Republican had better join them after what the FBI did to Trump and the millions of Americans who voted for him.
That some elements of the government are upset because Donald Trump isn’t doing things the “normal” way is a whole lot of – let’s just say chutzpah! They have been violating every norm of government for years.
Hating Our History
As I noted in yesterday’s report, the neo-Marxist left does not like America, and they hate our history, especially Thanksgiving. Not only is the holiday associated with the beginning of America, it also has deeply religious roots.
Radical leftists at the University of Buffalo held an event last week called “Decolonizing Thanksgiving.” The event was designed to debate “tough topics” and asked participants, “Is it right to celebrate Thanksgiving and America’s history of settler colonialism?”
Other “tough topics” included how to “honor this day of mourning” and ways to “redefine the meaning of Thanksgiving.”
Sadly, the University of Buffalo wasn’t the only institution of “higher learning” to engage in this kind of pointless philosophical self-flagellation.
I hope and pray that one of the first actions taken by the Trump/Vance administration is to reinstate the 1776 Commission to restore respect for our country and instill “an informed and honest patriotism” among young Americans.
Lebanon Ceasefire
This afternoon, the Israeli Security Cabinet approved a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah forces in Lebanon. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hezbollah agreed to the ceasefire because they know they won’t get a better deal after Donald Trump takes office.
Explaining his support for the deal, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Israeli people, saying:
“Three reasons for the ceasefire: focusing on the Iranian threat - and I won't elaborate on that. Refreshing and replenishing our troops - this issue will be resolved soon. And disconnecting the fronts and isolating Hamas.”
Netanyahu added:
“This is not the same Hezbollah. Hezbollah chose to attack us from there on October 8. We set it back decades. We eliminated Nasrallah. We eliminated all the senior officials of the organization and thousands of terrorists. And we destroyed most of the rocket capabilities and the infrastructure it built near our border. . .
“People didn’t believe we could enter Gaza, and we entered. They said we couldn’t enter Rafah, and we did. They said we couldn’t attack Lebanon, and we did. So, maybe people should begin believing.”
In related news, Alice Wairimu Nderitu, the U.N.’s Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide, was just fired.
Why? Because in her expert opinion, the term “genocide” DOES NOT APPLY to the conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.
As the editors of the Wall Street Journal correctly noted:
“Israel’s campaign of self-defense doesn’t qualify [as genocide]. The war against Hamas has had many deaths, but Israel’s strategy is intended to dismantle a terrorist regime, not eliminate an ethnic group. The Jewish state has gone to great lengths to minimize Palestinian civilian casualties, even as Hamas uses civilians as shields so their deaths can be used as propaganda.”
