Will The GOP/Trump Be Adept And The American People Be Patient. Purposeful. Lousy Education. More
++++++++++

If Trump stays on message, as he did recently, and tells the American people it is our campaign and I am standing between you and the establishment arrows he might win because he has a proven record and can point to where everyone benefitted. He also can point to the failures of Biden and how he has hurt everyone with his policies and the statistics do not lie.

Should you be concerned about Project Hamilton?
+++
The Biden and radical Democrat Project Hamilton is designed to weaponize our currency. Your money will be controlled by the government and you will be given a Federal Reserve digital dollar which is not crypto currency. A digital dollar enhances the government's control and will eliminate privacy. Every digital dollar is trackable and controllable. If the government does not like what you are doing your spending could be placed on a watch list that is trackable and/or turned into a currency that can expire.This will result in authoritarianism. It can eventually be designed into punishing behaviour and dictating how your currency can be spent.
As one's wealth declines government power increases and your privacy and freedom eventually disappears.

Minority Support for the GOP Crept Up Again in the Midterms
By Jason L. Riley
The Progressive era of the early 20th century produced such presidents as Woodrow Wilson and such intellectuals as the British economist John Maynard Keynes. Following World War I, however, voters began repudiating progressivism, and by the time the political left was ascendant again in the 1930s under Franklin D. Roosevelt, erstwhile progressives had rebranded themselves as liberals. That label would stick though the 1980s until calling a candidate liberal became almost a smear, and by the end of the 20th century Democrats on the left were self-describing as progressives again.
One of the things that progressive elites in both eras share is an outsize role in promoting racism. Keynes co-founded a eugenics society at Cambridge University. Wilson hosted a White House screening of “The Birth of a Nation,” a movie that glorifies the Ku Klux Klan, and one of his first acts as president was to segregate federal employees. Madison Grant, a lawyer and leading conservationist, wrote the 1916 bestseller “The Passing of the Great Race,” a pseudoscientific screed arguing that blacks, Native Americans, Jews and the peoples of Eastern and Southern Europe were members of inferior races.
Today’s progressives advocate preferential treatment based on race and ethnicity. Boston University professor Ibram X. Kendi, one of the most celebrated progressive thinkers in the country, openly supports racial discrimination. “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination,” he asserts. A hundred years ago, progressives attributed racial disparities to genetics. Today, they blame racial bias. In both cases, they’ve taken one factor and convinced themselves that it alone is the determining factor.
Democrats have long sought to win elections by fueling racial resentment. And while Donald Trump’s recent verbal assaults on former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, a native of Taiwan, show once again that Democrats don’t have a monopoly on racism, today’s Democrats are far more reliant on identity politics to get their voters to the polls. That’s why President Biden likens his political opponents to Jefferson Davis and Bull Connor and refers to Republican policies as “Jim Crow 2.0.” And it’s why Democratic candidates in last week’s election spent so much time trying to paint Republicans as not only wrong on the issues but bigoted to boot.
The good news is that it didn’t seem to work. According to exit polls, every major racial and ethnic minority group voted more Republican this year than in 2018. Compared with four years ago, “Hispanic and Asian support for the GOP jumped 10 and 17 points respectively, while Black voters shifted about 4 points to the right,” Politico reports. Among black and Hispanic men, Republican gains in recent elections have been even more pronounced.
Democrats continue to pay a price for catering to upscale white progressives while giving short shrift to the concerns of their minority base. Increasingly, these neglected voters see the GOP as a viable alternative. The Asian and Hispanic shares of the electorate are growing. Democrats can bleed only so much minority support, particularly in battleground states and swing districts, and still win elections.
In Georgia’s gubernatorial race, Democrat Stacey Abrams lost her rematch against Republican incumbent Brian Kemp. Georgia had record turnout for early voting, yet black support for Ms. Abrams, a progressive superstar who has made phantom voter suppression her signature issue, ticked down from four years ago. In the state’s Senate race, meanwhile, incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock is facing Republican Herschel Walker in a runoff election. Notably, Mr. Warnock has campaigned as a pragmatist rather than a progressive, which is one reason he performed so much better than Ms. Abrams and still has a shot at holding his seat. If Democrats are rethinking the progressive label, candidates such as Ms. Abrams are the reason.
Whether Democrats call themselves liberals or progressives, the bigger problem is the policy behind the label. Defunding the police gives the upper hand to violent criminals in poor communities who target their mostly law-abiding neighbors. Opposition to parental choice forces children to attend schools where little if any learning takes place. Living-wage laws harm job prospects by making would-be employees too expensive to hire. Expanding the welfare state has a long history of expanding dependency rather than reducing poverty. The political left’s support for such policies undermines upward mobility among the very groups they claim to champion.

More minority voters are giving the GOP a look because they want more effective representation from the political class. Who can blame them?

Can you believe Biden's comments?

State Department antisemites at it again? When our two top incompetents were appointed head of the Pentagon did Israel complain? Do we even know their religious affiliation? Is our State Department afraid Israel might be realistic and thus too independent regarding Iran.
Or, did Bibi use our State Department to relieve his own issues of trying to form a government and keep everyone happy.? Stay tuned.

Biden administration pressuring Netanyahu not to appoint Smotrich as Defense Minister.
White House sending clear message to incoming Israeli prime minister that US does not support Smotrich as defense minister, journalist says.
The new Netanyahu government has yet to be formed, but is already under heavy pressure from the Biden administration, according to senior Israeli journalist Barak Ravid.
Speaking with Radio 103FM Wednesday morning, Ravid, who covers foreign affairs for Walla! and Axios, said the White House has sent clear messages to Prime Minister-elect Benjamin Netanyahu that the US will not support the appointment of Religious Zionist Party chairman Bezalel Smotrich as Defense Minister.
Ravid said that given the White House’s intense pressure, Smotrich is unlikely to be appointed as Defense Minister, though he acknowledged Netanyahu’s need for the Religious Zionist Party’s support in forming a new coalition government may overcome the Biden administration’s opposition.
“I tend to think that Smotrich will not be Defense Minister. Ten days ago, a senior American official told me that the identity of the next defense minister will have a huge impact on US-Israel relations.”
Ravid added that the official explicitly said his comments to the reporter were intended to pressure Netanyahu not to appoint Smotrich as Defense Minister.
“He said: ‘We expect Netanyahu to read this after you publish it.’ I think Netanyahu’s office got the message.”

If Trump can demonstrate restraint he will aim his guns solely at Biden, Democrat's terrible achievements and that their party is controlled by radicals whose messaging is out of touch with most Americans. Trump gains nothing attacking his own as Reagan pointed out and he will be judged harshly by voters he drove away if he does. The question for all regarding Trump is whether he is so imbued with self he cannot take advantage of the big tent the GOP has finally constructed.
Meanwhile, Covid allowed Democrats to learn to play Chess while the GOP is still into Checkers

It has always been evident that Biden is a racist and a mean spirited, bullying politician. Now we have learned he might also be a crook as he knowingly was aware of what Hunter has been doing and may have been the direct recipient of his son's activities.
"POP" Biden was able to get his media friends to bury these facts and ,worst of all, get the FBI to hide the revelations from Hunter's Lap Top so he could become president.
If the way he presided over the Thomas Hearings does not convince you then nothing will.
Biden played the roll of a shill for the hateful, racist side of The Democrat Party and he continues to do so. His demonization of the Republicans in the mid-terms was both blatant and pure Biden.
It is comforting that after about 100 years the American voter is possibly wakening up to the fact that Democrats have particularly taken blacks and other minorities for a ride all along and have purposely kept them deprived of a decent education for fear they would discover how they have been duped. and unable to break away from Democrat bindings that have held them back.
The Teacher's Union earned billions of dollars as they played their part in this role and COVID was used as another convenient excuse to further enrich their coffers at the expense of all American children.
How utterly cynical. I do not understand how Biden can sleep at night. Perhaps that is why he naps in the day and hides in basements.
The stench in D.C is not limited to Biden and the $64 question is can the GOP investigate and reveal the fact that the Potomac is a cesspool without turning off voters?
In truth, the serious problems America faces cannot be resolved without removing the cover of corruption. They are twin matters attached at the nation's hips and it will take a great deal of investigative political surgery.
Will the GOP be adept and will the American people be patient?
