American Manufacturing Is About More Than Just Jobs
Bringing back American manufacturing is critical to American society in more ways than just economic ones. In order for America to succeed it needs the ability to make things, not only for the stability and good jobs it provides, but for national security as well.

Do Those Trump Trials Make Sense Yet?

There was a piece of advice I got once, early in life, that was a bit vulgar but also very true. "Don't ever fuck yourself trying to fuck someone else."

It makes me think about where we are right now with this Joe Biden vs. Donald J. Trump thing. And while the head of this very long snake is before us now, ready to chomp down on some flesh, it's been working its way to us for quite a long time.

Ever slowly. Inch by inch.

Think back to all of these indictments against Donald Trump, and the trials and even the conviction. It did sometimes amaze me, the fervor and tenacity that they went after him with. They were out for blood. They wanted this man out of the picture permanently.

Granted, this started long before Joe Biden was the president. But it became clearer once Joe Biden was the president.

For a long time, I kept wondering, what's the real threat here? What does Trump know?

There were the many questions about 2020, of course. Not only were people silenced for even suggesting the election may have been stolen, but many are also still being drug through the courts, or like Steve Bannon, going to jail.

Was this to bar Trump from running and keeping him out of the White House where he may be able to potentially open this question up for some real answers?

I am still not sure. This entire operation against Trump may go way deeper than any of us might ever believe. There may be even darker secrets in the Democrat's closets than what we think the big one now might be.

But that's for another day.

The thing is, the Democrats are in a real pickle, and it's something they won't be able to get out of easily. If at all. They got caught in one the biggest lies of the century and they're now working very hard to pretend to be shocked after what will go down in the history books as probably the wort presidential debate performance in American history.

Set that aside, though. We want to focus on those trials. If it were nothing else, what they were more than anything, were a big part of the huge cover up regarding Biden's health.

It was all about look over there. If they could keep the 24-hour news cycle focused on Trump, perhaps you'd miss the gaffes or the trips and falls. Perhaps you'd not see Biden getting lost on stages or pay too much attention to handlers dressed in bunny costumes leading him around.

The fact is that they knew. The Democrats. The White House. They knew all along something was not right with Joe Biden, but they kept it under wraps. For a long time, they mostly got away with it. Granted, Fox News talked about it non-stop. So did overseas news agencies like Sky News in Australia.

But all the other networks? It was wall to wall coverage of Trump's criminal this and Trump's indictment that and Trump's conviction.

Folks, step right up. We have the most amazing attraction you simply can't miss. Introducing the J6 committee to feast your eyes on. Come one, come all and see the amazing wonders of the evilest man in America. 

In other words, it was all about don't look over here. Perhaps if you could give the media and the people something else to keep their attention on, you'd miss the classified documents in the garage story, or the gaffes, or you'd ignore the fact that Biden wasn't doing press conferences or holding cabinet meetings on a regular basis.

You'd forget about Hunter Biden's laptop and all the juicy details it might contain because something juicier was happening with Trump.

It dawned on me. That's what this may have been all about. The truth. The truth they wanted us badly to be hidden from. That something wasn't right with Biden. If they could just hold out to the end, though, maybe they could fix it. 

I mean, worst case scenario they make it through the election and Biden wins. They could just pull the 25th Amendment, seat Harris as president, and the next four years and possibly eight were set. They just had to keep eyes off the White House and Joe Biden to whatever extent they could.

Trump was their way to do that. Get all eyes and attention on him. Make it juicy. Make it look good. Make it seem devilish in any way you can. But for Heaven's sake, keep the focus on him. Whatever you do, and we mean, whatever you do, don't dare look at us.

Not only could you have wall to wall coverage on the indictments and trials, but you could also have wall to wall coverage from pundits talking about it all. All the while, what would be left in the news cycles to address Biden and all the questions that might loom about him?

"Biden accidentally called the president of Eqypt the president of Mexico...ha, ha, ha, silly Joe...now getting back to this Stormy Daniels thing."

The problem is, they got caught in the lie. They got caught in the deception, and let's face it, it was all already backfiring on them and badly. All the polls seemed to show that. The more and the harder they went after Trump, the more popular he'd become.

Now they're caught in it. They fucked themselves trying to fuck somebody else. For going on 7 years, it's been the same thing. They wanted to go after Trump. Because the debate happened, and when it did, there was no other way to spin that.

No amount of Trump coverage would be enough to distract attention away from Biden. But seeing how bad Biden really is at this stage, it makes the whole pursuit of Trump clearer as to the why of it all.

It sounds crazy. I know it does. But when you think about it, how crazy is it, really?

Trump's "Guilt" Only Makes Us Stronger

You might say, "But you're a Trump supporter and that is the reason you are dismissing Trump's guilty verdict in the hush money trial." My answer to that is, that cannot be farther from the truth. I am dismissing Trump's guilty verdict because it was a sham trial for political purposes, and I know how and why it went down the way it did.

Something like this should never have been prosecuted in the first place, and if it were not Trump, it would not have been. On top of that, nearly every single person in charge of this had a clear agenda, and I think possibly even a clear mandate.

This was a case brought with intent and complete with explicit instructions.

The problem for the Democrats is that even if they booked a win, there will be no victory for them. For one thing, almost immediately following the verdict Trump's website crashed as it was flooded with donors wanting to contribute to his campaign.

He scored millions in new contributions.

The Democrats were hoping that a conviction would sway voters to their side—even if they knew they couldn't shake the die-hard MAGA crowd. What they are missing, of course, is that Americans are simply not as stupid as they think they are. People are paying attention, and the more we go down this path of witch hunting, the more people are digging into what's really going on and what's behind it.

The more people want to know the truth.

What it also does is cause people to see Trump more. They go out and seek more because they want to know if all this negative press is actually true. "He didn't really say that did he," they wonder? What they find when they see the real Donald Trump is not the man the media has told them he is, or the Democrat party has said for that matter.

If I thought for even a second that there was anything to these accusations and now his conviction, I'd step back. I really would. Because I can't stress it enough, I am an American first, and while I do call myself a Republican, it does not trump (pardon the pun) my commitment to what's in the best interests of the country.

The bottom line is that all that has happened since Trump came down the escalator at Trump Tower has given me great pause to question everything. From the GOP's attempts to deny Trump's nomination to two sham impeachments to claims of an insurrection and now all of the charges and indictments—there are forces at work that have to be questioned.

We have a ton of bad players in our government, and Trump's not one of them. He is the target of them, and for one reason. He wants to restore America and return the power of the government to The People.

What the Democrats get out of this is something to put down in the history books and nothing more. It will not sway voters to their side. In fact, it may lose more support for Biden. Trump will not go to jail. And when Trump wins in November, and I think he will without a doubt win, the Democrats are going to have quite a lot of egg on their faces. 

But there's one other thing to consider here. The one thing I said to my Democrat friends gleeful of the witch hunt and now the verdict is to be careful what you wish for. All bets are now off, and your side should fire up the shredders, because The People are coming for you next.

They have changed the rules. They've put light on things. They've made it okay to prosecute in places where perhaps it was taboo to do before. And let's face it. The Democrats have far more skeletons in their closets than Republicans do. 

One thing you never want to do if you want to win is to make your enemies into martyrs. The Democrats have missed that memo, and this may go down as one of the biggest backfires ever in history. 

There may even be movies made, one day.
