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.

2020 Was All About Covid, Fool

Nearly every time the mail in ballots in the 2020 election are brought up as a matter of suspicion and concern that there may have been some nefarious goings on there, the left jumps up and waves their arms. "Hey! Over here! You do realize there was a pandemic, right?"

Covid. The infamous Covid. It's always there as an argument.

The left tried to make the same argument to explain the Biden rallies which no one attended. "Of course, there was no one there, you fool. No one wanted to die, unlike the idiots on your side."

So, brilliant one as you are, tell me; out of the potentially hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters who attended his rallies are dead and gone now? Not only were they Trump supporters attending rallies during one of the deadliest pandemics of our time, they were probably also unvaccinated and doomed to death from that too.

Of course, some people may have gotten Covid. Maybe even some people died. But if the rallies were the supposed "cause of death," I am sure that would be front page news and every bit of the 24-hour news cycle.

Rachel Maddow would have been tossing up images of lines of coffins heading for their final resting spots screaming, "Count the bodies in the wake of Trump's rallies! The stupidity! The abomination!"

It didn't happen. And furthermore, for all the efforts of the left and the media Covid wasn't even that big a deal. Okay sure. It wasn't good. People did die. I'll never discount that. But when you compare Covid to the Spanish flu, it wasn't even close.

The Spanish flu killed 10% of the entire world population. Covid took only 0.08% of it. How does it even compare?

It doesn't.

So, essentially the mail in ballots were just common sense because no one wanted to get Covid and die. Duh, right? Only it isn't the duh moment the left really wants it to be. By their measure of the threat and danger going to the polls in person might have posed, Trump probably would have lost the 2020 election simply because all of his supporters were dead from attending his rallies.

Only he got 11 million more votes in 2020 than he got in 2016. So, I guess that argument is kind of out, isn't it? Let's say just 10% of the 76 million people that voted for him attended his rallies at some point during the pandemic. That would be potentially 7.6 million people at risk.

The entire world death toll was only 7.046 million out of a world population of nearly 8 billion people.

Regarding Covid as well, the left and the media likes to banter on about how bad Trump bungled it. I mean, we all know now that during the entire time of the pandemic the WHO and the CDC kept changing their minds and got a million and one things wrong about it.

Tell that to a Democrat and they readily say, "It was a new thing. How could they know?" Except, Trump was supposed to have all the answers, right?

And tell me, what did Biden do better? Covid deaths doubled during Biden's watch. How come the left didn't jump on him for doubling the death count? Even when he was mandating the vaccines? That didn't work, by the way.

Oh, I suppose so long as it wasn't Trump making the bad decisions it was okay. God only knows how much worse things might have been if it wasn't Joe Biden screwing it up.

The thing about the 2020 election is that so many things simply didn't add up. Not the vote counts. Not the mail in ballots. Not the fact that the majority of the mail in ballots were votes for Biden. Not that Trump was winning before the mail in ballots were counted. Not that Biden got the most votes ever in the history of American elections.

Nothing to see here, folks, Biden won. Get over it.

And then of course, when you question anything the left likes to point to judges and prosecutors and this guy or that guy who all tell us, "The election was fair. Just deal with it, accept it, and move on." 

As I have said many times before, this is like asking the foxes how the hens are doing. "The hens are fine," say the foxes. There may be nothing left in the coop but feathers and bones, and perhaps a few sly foxes went into the coop and learned how to cluck, but it doesn't mean we can be assured the hens are actually fine if no one bothers to go inside and check.

We have been lied to about Covid. We have been lied to about the election. We have been lied to about the insurrection. And all that's being offered to answer the questions is to go and rely on what the liars tell us?

Who's the fool?

The Voters Are Pulling Out Their Wallets for Trump

Anyone can say whatever they want in regard to Trump's campaign, but the reality is that it is in full force and the left is clearly in denial. Probably in panic too, but of course they would never admit it.

And it's not just the polls that show Trump is leading in key swing states and has been for a long time. It's not even the national polls that show Trump is also in the lead. It's not even the large headcount rallies he's been putting on which attract people in the thousands every single time.

It's the money.

And it's not only just the money itself, but it's where it's coming from is what matters more than anything. It's the grass-roots money we often talk about. That is, the money that is coming from the "regular folks." Money coming from actual voters who are energized and ready to go.

More importantly, it's coming from voters ready to fire Joe Biden and reinstall Trump back into the White House this coming November.

In March the Trump campaign raised a little over $65 million, and in April that number was surpassed, with the campaign having raised over $76 million. Not only are his campaign donations picking up steam, but half of the money also raised came from small donors.

The biggest problem the Democrats face, and it is something I think they squarely missed, is that voters are actually paying attention. They are ignoring the media because they know they haven't been given it straight.

They have tried very hard to paint Trump's past four years in office as a disaster, and to make Trump out to be a criminal. But we've lived through Biden's term and the story just isn't aligning with the reality. And no matter how hard the left tries to sell their story as being a better one, it's just not true and voters know it.

Voters are also not buying into the "criminal" narrative. 

As such, regular folks, even at a time when inflation is at decades high levels, when consumer confidence is beginning to show signs of weakening, and when discretionary spending is finally pulling back, are willing to send a few dollars Trump's way to help him on his journey back to Washington D.C.

It's not to say that you can buy a presidency. You can't. You have to earn it. But if the regular folks are sending money, it means they are also sending a strong signal of their support. Because the truth is Trump's presidency is more clearly seen now, and Biden just hasn't gotten the job done.
