MAGA and the Next War

For years there was peace. The Taliban weren’t targeting U.S. troops in Afghanistan. China wasn’t dangerously buzzing our military aircraft. Russia wasn’t invading her neighbors. Israeli women and children weren’t being slaughtered, and Iranian cruise missiles weren’t raining down on Israeli homes. That’s when President Trump was Commander-in-Chief. 

We had been lectured by the mainstream lying Legacy Media that the New York tycoon was uncontrollable and would start World War III. His tweets addressed to Pyongyang and Tehran were deemed reckless and likely to precipitate a nuclear war. What actually happened? We had peace for 4 years. Why? Easy. When we were in the White House, decent countries around the world felt re-assured and our enemies were afraid. 

How did we undergo such a reversal so suddenly? Again, that is easy to answer if you just think about the two different stances of the MAGA Movement and the current Democrat Party. 

Let’s start with MAGA, the slogan that propelled Donald Trump to the highest office in the land. The acronym reveals so much. It is a diagnosis, a statement about the past, and a prescription for the future all in one. Make America Great Again implies that America once was great, is not great now, and should be great once more. Contrast that with what the political Left has become today. 

Today’s modern Democrat Party lionizes those like the author of the 1619 Project, a propaganda platform that declares that America was built on racism and is still irredeemably racist. It celebrates the likes of Black Lives Matter – Kamala Harris even raising money for those arrested for killing under its banner – which preaches that colored Americans are victims and white Americans are oppressors. And, once in power, this is the party that negated our national sovereignty, dismantled our borders, and funded those sworn to our destruction, like Iran. The dichotomy could not be more trenchant, and the difference is noticed outside of America. 

Those who admire America, who are safe when we lead, prefer when the American government believes in America. Those who hate America, who see freedom, liberty, and free markets as a threat to their theocratic or authoritarian and dictatorial regimes, are happy and ready for action when our government hates America, as they do. 

President Trump loves America. There is no other reason, after 4 years of incessant attacks, calumny, and sabotage, why he would decide once more to run for the Presidency. What sane man submits himself to 4 indictments, 91 charges, and 730 years in prison for transparently politically motivated reasons, unless he truly loves America? 

That is why Putin invaded Ukraine. That is why China is harassing our aircraft and Naval vessels. That is why the slaughter of the innocents on October 7th happened. That is why Iran just bombarded Israel with hundreds of drones and cruise missiles this weekend after Biden told the mullahs not to. 

Evil regimes know America is currently run by those who hate America, and they too can read the polls that decisively have Donald Trump ahead of Biden and know that if he wins on November 5th, we once again will have a President in the Oval Office who loves America and his prepared to protect her and her friends. November 5th cannot come soon enough for America…and the rest of the World.
