Yes, they seem oblivious to the fact that Elon is defending their right to trash him on his platform; hard to think of a more Jeffersonian impulse than that! No, tomorrow is blueberry pancake day and I am very excited!

I entirely agree about DC; all those departments that are not supposed to be political (the FBI leaps to mind) but rather are supposed to merely carry out the orders of the civilian government should be shifted out of the cesspool ASAP. Obviously being there over time corrupts and it is past time the become reacquainted with the taxpayers they are supposed to be serving,

I agree, in the sense that unity can only spring out of shared adherence to the Founds and the Constitution; we can of course disagree about all sorts of policies if this overall agreement is in place. That is the unity I hope for. Recently, however, I fear the Democrats (be it through lawfare, desire to court pack, desire to do away with the electoral college) no longer share this basic adherence. It is up to them to prove me wrong, before talking of unity.

Yes, Dianne, this was a very fun one to do, as John and I got to laugh together about all the analytical nonsense out there, sort of as our way of celebrating. It is hysterical that Clooney feels picked on, but then again one cannot ever accuse the useful idiots of having self-reflection. John and I are off to dinner tonight with strong and good realist friends and then 11 meetings in the next four days before I head back. Yes, onto DC realism and making this work for us all!

It's great, to laugh at all the lunacy around this election, which should have been a "No-Brainer" with common sense thinking and a return sound thinking. Unfortunately it extremely sad that this country was brought down to this level. History will not be kind to those "Useful Idiots" i.e. MSM, Celebs, Eleits, others who tried to push /ram the narratives to to the general population. George Clooney,(as if he could understand, no one cares) is already making his exodus, playing a victim no less. Who could have written this chapter in American history?

Now, John H and John G get onto DC #Realism.

Time to focus on Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Virginia, MInnesota, Illinois, New Mexico. These new swing states are now clearly in play. Mark them for 2026 and 2028.

Also time to distill power away of DC. A city which votes 92% democrat cannot be trusted to run a country that votes 51% republican. The more you fire in DC, the better.

The call for "unity ... unity ... unity" from the losers, as if we will adopt their agenda - now - that they are utterly discredited. Trump always offered unity: "One Nation Under God" (on 900 meetings over the last 9 years) - One Nation.

But: with minimum thresholds for moral standards. Otherwise, there is not One Nation. Such One Nation is not compatible with late-term abortion. Without borders, there is not One Nation either.

Without the ordering principles that the Founding Fathers instilled into the Constitution, It's just One Jungle. The human condition both requires it and deserves no less.
