Unrealistic New Year's Resolutions vs America First Solutions
While many pundits, commentators and show hosts will take you down paths outside of conservative domestic and geopolitics, have we expanded our horizons to a point where glaring items go unresolved?
New Year’s resolutions have never been my thing. I’m either too busy, with the kids and the family, or with what was once school has become work, now with the podcast and even writing these.
There’s just no time.
Setting a resolution suggest that you’ve been putting off or unprioritizing something in your life that you know needs attention and should at some point, be resolved.
Whether it’s the rigors of the daily grind or just the way life comes at you, sometimes you drift away from the items in your orbit that are of the most importance and spend some time on the new, cool, shiny distraction.
And before you know it, you’ve lined up many new items in front of, or as replacements to your priorities which allow the Christmas holiday season and the incoming New Year that opens the door to, said resolutions.
If I suggest or at least, hope for a blanket resolution to the conservative community and the America First movement in the New Year, it wouldn’t be for us to get some more rest, to eat healthier or even incorporate exercise into our daily routines.
Be big boys and girls and make those a part of your day.
No, sadly my resolution request would be for everyone in this movement to reprioritize their messages and curb their egos because in case you haven’t noticed, our country’s currently in the ICU and on life support.
In the world we live in right now, messaging means a lot, but delivery is what keeps you relevant. Anyone in the business of marketing the message to, “right the current course of the country” for personal gains, growth or exposure has wandered too far off of the path that they used to gain prominence and are now leading this movement in too many different directions.
The “look at me,” or “I’m speaking the loudest, therefore, I must be right,” and the “what I do,” or, “what event(s) I host is better” narrative has watered down the meaning behind the populist, nationalist movement, to almost a point of creating a disconnected caste system. We all have at one point or another, fallen right into the radical, progressive lefts trap; where it seems like pundits, commentators and even political figures would rather compete amongst each other, rather than remaining focused on the task at hand together.
It’s a task most haven’t done a good job of tackling since the fall of 2018, quite frankly.
As the MSM and print press died at the hands of the “Trump is finished, and the walls are closing in” narrative, current and former political figures, pundits, commentators and social media influencers took to the web and under the cover of covid-19 gave our movement a new voice and fresh start. Podcast, op-eds, investigative and citizen journalism was reborn in a fashion I can only compare to a historical juncture where the print press, national evening news shows and eventual 24/7 cable news outlets rose to prominence as the accepted ways we received our coverage and remained informed in our daily lives.
But because of the advancements in this technological age, the rebirth of news coverage in a digital age sped up the growth process to a point where many outgrew their messaging and eventually their britches behind massive grassroots followings and now have pretty sizable control over much of everyday operational talking points within this movement and it’s gotten to a point where it’s becoming problematic.
Not problematic because you should take up personal discontent for some of these pundits, politicians, influencers and internet sensations (although many of them have grown into quite the greedy, slimy, two-faced hacks they claim to be fighting against), but because their many mixed or even combined messages have led us to running aimlessly in circles with no end in sight.
The fact of the matter is, we need solutions.
Right now, many if not most in the conservative new media are offering a lot of broad talking points, chest puffing, loads of empty promises and even heavy doses of hopium that builds up the movement, then breaks it down, and then the same pundits offer themselves as the only pathway back to the solution that we haven’t been gaining any ground on.
In my opinion, and moving forward, we must huddle and reprioritize our method of attack while still allowing for items that still bare great importance to be discussed, just not in such a weighted manner. Meaning, if we are ever going to restore this country to a level of normalcy that will lead us down the path towards reclaiming American Greatness again, then we should it in fashion where, attacking one major issue or point of relevance leads to a consequent domino effect into another connected item.
For instance:
We can’t control the narrative, spin, views or platforms of the Democrat Party, however we can in fact, control the direction of our own. We have become so complacent in accepting the often telegraphed and deep-rooted leadership figures within the Republican apparatus that many have come to terms with “keeping the lights on,” or, “what will be will be, I (or we) can’t do anything about it.”
This goes for both the heroes and villains within this almost Broadway-level production that the happenings within the Beltway have become.
The continuing rise of China and the CCP, the origins of covid-19, how Russia, and its failure to want to negotiate any kind of geopolitical normalcy grows, and the military industrial and pharmaceutical complexes are probably the biggest distractionary items that we’re fed each day which have prevented us from correcting a lot of the agenda we set to correct since 2017.
That’s not saying that these items aren’t some of the largest and most impactful ever to affect our planet, especially following the global pandemic, having ended military operations (for the most part) in Iraq and Afghanistan and newly set precedents regarding medical freedom and abilities worldwide. Our lives are different and ever changing, now more than ever because of these intricate pieces of the larger picture.
While many ask, how did we get here; embarrassingly retreating from Afghanistan, tanking the global economy by shutting the world down for over year, the damage done to children, (not) in the classroom because of distance learning and medically with vaccines, masks and mandates.
How do we get to the bottom of who was really behind the Fedsurrection when the sham, Unselect January 6th Committee was able to operate for an entire year?
And we have moved as a society further away from God, while inching closer to transhumanism.
So duly noted, that these broad rungs of issues aren’t one’s that we should simply ignore, disregard or not be taken with the utmost seriousness.
But there is one undeniable fact, and one widely known figure within the Beltway who you can trace back to an overwhelming majority of the root causes to all of the conservative underperformance and regression:
Kentucky Republican Senator, Mitch McConnell.
Shocker, right?
Now for how much easier it is to blame establishment RINO Republicans, the RNC and how they’ve become a national extension of the K Street club and Congressional Mafia, Ronna McDaniel, Kevin McCarthy and the countless other letdowns within the conservative movement -
It’s time to address this issue once and for all.
When the relationship between then President Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell died after the 2018 midterm elections, Republicans as a whole began losing and haven’t recovered since. Not only did the feud between Trump and McConnell spill over into the House of Representatives and the larger RNC, but it also consequently spilled over through two consecutive election cycles now, while threatening to cement Joe Biden’s legislative legacy while looming over the incoming 2024 Presidental Election cycle as well.
But McConnell, really? You’re telling me he’s in some way, shape or form connected to the entirety of the setbacks and non-winning that we’ve been experiencing for the past several years?
Yes.
After McConnell assisted in losing the three Seante seats during the 2020 General Election cycle (including the dual Georgia runoff seats), he was able to return to the background and use the power of his influence to dominate the direction of the party since.
What blatant lack of support of senatorial candidates, regardless of who endorsed them during the 2022 midterms was more on display - thanks to McConnell’s complaints, pessimistic rhetoric and lack of financial assistance costing us at least two, but most likely more senates seats leaving the balance of power in the hands of democrats, and after we were able to reclaim the House by a slim margin in November.
But that’s just scraping the surface with McConnell’s quest to erase the Trump Presidency and end the America First movement.
As of January 1st, 2023, the McConnell backed delegation in the U.S. Senate has helped Joe Biden confirm 1 Supreme Court Justice, 1 SCOTUS Associate Judge, 97 Article III Judges, 68 Judges to the U.S. District Circuit and 68 Appellate Judges in his first two year.
Those and although those numbers are forecasting that Biden will fall short of Trump’s reshaping of the Judicial Branch (with 3 SCOTUS appointments, 177 District Judges and 54 Appeals Court appointments), Joe Biden has had a historically pleasant time confirming many more judges than being denied.
Legislatively, McConnell’s influence has been more than contributive to cementing Joe Biden’s legacy (thus far) as a historical juggernaut when it comes to passing bills, regardless of how “America Last” they are.
In his first year, and coming out of the pandemic, a split nation and the manufactured Fedsurrection at the Capitol, you might think the Republicans would show somewhat of spine and stand firm in the face of the radical, progressive, globalist, Democrat majority that would now control the Executive Office of the President, and the U.S. House and Senate following the conclusion of Trump’s first term.
Not a chance.
In his first two years, McConnell was instrumental in leading a faction of never-Trump Senators who helped Joe Biden easily pass the American Rescue Plan, the bipartisan Infrastructure and Jobs Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, the Inflation (non) Reduction Act which basically took the widely rejected “Build Back Better” bullshit and sprinkled it over several pieces of legislation that have now been signed into law.
Adding trillions and trillions of dollars to our national debt if executed to their legislative potential.
So not only is McConnell purposely tanking elections and trying to water down to eventually make irrelevant the populist movement, but he is also leaving such a legislative mess in his wake that even if he chooses not to run for reelection again in 2024, McConnell has left an incoming Republican President a mess the likes we have not seen since the end of World War II, if ever when you consider the current trending (down) direction of the domestic and global economy’s which should confirm that we are in a recession (we’re already in one) officially by the end of FY 2023.
Most recently, McConnell supported the Democrat drafted Omnibus Bill that will fund the federal government this year. The proposed 1.7 trillion-dollar disaster has the ability to reach nearly 10 trillion dollars in wasteful and unregulated (mostly green) potential if weaponized to its fullest extent. Some of the more vocal Republicans, like Rand Paul and Ron Johnson in the Senate offered objections and the usual suspects in the House of Representatives like, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz and Tomas Massie unsuccessfully suggested that the budget should be kicked to the 118th Congress that will be sworn in on January 3rd of this year so that since they’ve won power, they can reappropriate the 2023 budget and remove a majority of the wasteful spending while drastically reducing the amounts allotted for both the military (45 billion total) and dare I say it, Ukraine (over 47 billion, not including the Patriot Missile Battery Systems).
No dice.
McConnell was able to whip most of the usual suspects for the Omnibus, and since the word’s “military” and “war” are written throughout the bill, was able to recruit weak sauce Senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Tom Cotton of Arkansas to sign on and take the 2022 budgetary purse away from the incoming House Republicans, ensuring that the U.S. Southern Border will remain a wide open and free for all this, when it’s suggested that over 5 million illegal migrants are set to cross just this year alone. It also showed that the frontrunner for (and not our choice) the Republican Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy had zero influence or political capital to push back against his likely Senate counterpart, just as the Paul, Hawley and Ron Johnson delegation failed to do just the same.
Are you coming to terms with this narrative yet?
While we are making inroads in places like the electorate at the grassroots level, cleaning voter rolls and hiring election managers who can make a dent in the larger, national apparatus that came to be decades and decades ago and has been fully operational since the 2020 presidential cycle, we aren’t going to be able to rectify this disaster the country has become until we fully address the Mitch McConnell problem that we currently have up on Capitol Hill. it’s become apparent after a failed leadership grab was made by Florida Senator Rick Scott in November that we don’t have the numbers or the horses in the Seante to finally flip the McConnell, Romney, Collins, Thune and Murkowski led worst (re)Avengers Assemble grip on the party.
If it’s America First legislation, then it’s DOA in the Seante because McConnell game will just side with the democrats until we call them out and vote them out.
Not call them out when they vote, or the day before or after the bills are presented or passed. Not talk about leadership candidacies a month or two before votes, talk about it from when an official is selected until the next damn Election Day.
Every. Single. Day. Of. The. Week. Until. They. Fold.
McConnell saved Murkowski this cycle by pushing for RCV then weaponizing against a legitimate challenger was primed to take her seat and it cost us a 40-year republican safe House seat in the process.
If McConnell is allowed to play the same unadulterated politic in the 2024 Presidential Election cycle, he will in turn assist the democrats in defending an indefensible number of seats nationally, while hurting the Republican nominee for president, presumably Donald Trump in his quest for a second term in the White House.
What’s the most comprehensive solution to this problem that’s grown so large that we have nearly reached a point of no return? With McConnell viably only likely to serve one more term, his personal choice for his RINO replacement, John Thune of South Dakota (the Senate minority whip) would make it as if McConnell was still there unless we act now.
Having amazing congressmen and women who can lead committees with great strength while hitting all the talking points on Boomer Sweats Sean Hannity or the Botox Queen, Laura Ingram’s show every night is cool, but only goes so far.
These congresspeople in both the House and the Seante have failed us resoundingly, and especially over the last two years as Joe Biden skated to victory after victory as an old, weak, feckless, empty suit they’ve done little but talk.
Sorry Rand Paul. Sorry Chip Roy, and Matt Gaetz, Marsha Blackburn, Josh Hawley and all of the others up on the Hill who said a lot of the right things, but in the end have failed us when it comes to slowing down current Seante majority Leader Schumer, outgoing Speaker Pelosi and the keystone of all the problems:
Mitch McConnell.
Having the balance of power in either chamber means nothing; McConnell has been able control this chaos for years now both as the Seante minority and majority leader. The money, power and influence against the America First movement is growing each day, so much now that the same huge financiers who usually back McConnell (the Murdock’s, Griffin’s and Singer’s), are leading conservatives to believe that more establishment-back picks are healthier alternatives to Donald Trump.
Right after McConnell did nothing to stop the release of Trump’s personal tax returns to be released (which turned out to be another in the long line of nothingburgers).
Is the message coming in louder and more clear now?
We want our kids to be protected from the deviant sexualization of the trans movement. We want to know the origins of the pandemic, and how our government collaborated with the CCP to cover it up. We want justice for the 13 Marines who died in the botched Afghan retreat. And with the constant revelations coming from the twitter files, we want the federal government unweaponized against us and doing their actual jobs.
The solution to these issues and more is not solved at the ballot box, through legislation and open debate, or because democrats currently control two of three branches of the government, and we’ll get em next time.
Mitch McConnell has bended the knee to Democrats therefore he has exclusive access to use the weaponized Administrative State against his political foes.
Whether you follow politics as much as we do or casually as is the norm for most, everyone can see the long telegraphed, next big legislative move in the Mitch McConnell, Joe Biden love story that’s wrecked the nation:
The Biden Amnesty Bill.
That’s why the start of the solution comes when our Republican elected officials stop voting for democrat-sponsored legislation, stop shilling for Ronna McDaniel and Kevin McCarthy and start taking our Mitch McConnell problem head on -
24 hours a day. 7 days a week. Until we get the ole tortoise to fold.
