We Dodged a Bullet—This Time

The mainstream media’s hate-spewing and fear-mongering rhetoric continues to pollute the airwaves. Consider these headlines on November 6th:

“America Votes Convicted Felon into White House” (Rolling Stone)

“Project 2025 Is Here” (HuffPost)

“Democrats Call for Abolishing Popular Vote” (The Babylon Bee)

“Enlightened Americans must rise up and resist” (Al Jazeera)

If you recognize that all of the charges against Donald Trump and the subsequent prosecutions of him were politically motivated, then the fact that about 75 million voters ignored the Left’s disgraceful persecution of their political opponent does not surprise you—instead, it should inspire you and instill you with hope for the future.

About 75 million voters ignored the Left’s disgraceful persecution of their political opponent.

Trump frequently distanced himself from the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 Plan, repeatedly stating that he not only did not, but would not, read it. Yet, the mainstream media insists it’s his plan and that he intends to put it into effect on day one of his next term—with all of the credible evidence failing to support that assertion.

Then satirical website The Babylon Bee quotes Defender-of-Democracy Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as announcing:

“Look, it’s 2024 and I think it’s time to let go of this antiquated and undemocratic [emphasis mine] idea of a ‘popular vote.’” . . . “Our democracy is simply too fragile to just award the Presidency to whoever wins the most votes. We must come up with an alternative, like maybe a college of electors [again, emphasis mine].”

Apparently, we can put what AOC knows about the US political system on the head of a pin if it were true as it aligns with many of her actual ideas.

As for Al Jazeera, at times it seems to provide factual news reporting. This time not so:

“Having grabbed power again, Trump will likely destroy himself. But he must not be allowed to destroy America.” (Andrew Mitrovica, Al Jazeera columnist)

One Picture is worth a thousand words:

If you want to see what real joy looks like—not the contrived nonsense claimed by the Harris-Walz campaign—take a good look at the faces of the people on the stage during Trump’s victory speech. Those faces reflect the joy that results from achieving their goal of retaining America’s life-affirming values.

Trump and his team spoke common sense in plain English to Americans who value life on this earth for themselves and their children, not in the dystopian netherworld depicted by George Orwell in 1984—not in the hellish nightmare envisioned by Marx (and then Hitler in the 20th century); he spoke to Americans who accept self-responsibility for their success rather than handouts; he spoke to Americans who take pride in accomplishing their goals by their own effort without interference from others or initiating—and inflicting—force upon others. He spoke to Americans who wish to be left free to live. He reached about 75 million of those Americans.

We dodged a bullet this time because reason, liberty, and ethical self-interest prevailed.

Yes, we dodged a bullet this time because reason, liberty, and ethical self-interest prevailed. But remember that reason is not automatic, liberty is not guaranteed, prosperity can evaporate overnight. Remember, too, that over 71 million misinformed-and-naïve voters supported the Harris/Walz far-left ideology, so a successful future is not guaranteed.

Remember: ideas are crucial because the ideas you accept as true or false will determine your choices and actions. So, remain vigilant, Americans, and continue to “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
