What was surprising to me is that literally a few hours after it became clear the Dems would take back both houses, they had already abandoned their campaign promises to lower taxes and prices. The first words out of the mouth of Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) \u2013 who is the expected chair of the House Oversight Committee \u2013 was a two-word message to Republicans: \u201cLawyer up.\u201d Across the country, lefty politicians and influencers immediately called for investigations and impeachment of Trump (and other hated Republicans) as soon as they assume control of both houses in January 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s going to be wild ride for the next two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has no one to blame but himself. His insane war on Iran was largely responsible for the increase in oil prices, reflected at the pump. It\u2019s what happens when you abandon your base and violate your campaign promises. In my opinion this was not a vote for Democrats as much as it was a rejection of Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The American System of Economic Growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most other respects Trump has been doing a good job of implementing the American System: attracting hundreds of billions of dollars of investment into high-tech chip, automotive, and steel plants into the US. This long-term investment will create hundreds of high paying jobs. Ancillary companies will &nbsp;hire thousands more workers to support these industries. Tens of thousands more service industry jobs will be created to support these companies, including restaurants, cleaning services, tech support services, engineering and mechanical services, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the American System: use American know-how and tech brilliance to create new technologies, then let them expand creatively into the economy. In this way a new spirit of hope and elan will flow throughout society. Prosperity will spread across the economy, prices will lower, and the middle and working classes will be restored. Education will also improve, as thousands of new technicians will be required to support these growing industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To his credit, Trump understands this and is consciously implementing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compare that to the dark, dead, no-growth agenda of Democratic Socialism and communism on the left, with their stagnant command and control, centrally planned economy. The left has no answers for the coming boom. Their outdated agenda is based on seizing and maintaining power (the dictatorship of the proletariat). That power must be supported by force using the surveillance state, and by clamping down on new ideas that violate the left\u2019s tiresome and silly political propaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Implementation of the American System allows the US to become more independent economically. It will also benefit the person who wins the 2028 election, for these plants will be in operation, if all goes well, during the new president\u2019s first term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integrity and the Shift in human consciousness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The (very rapid now) shift in human consciousness is rewarding integrity, honesty, and openness and punishing grifting, lying, and corruption. That does not bode well for the Democrat agenda of smashing Trump during the next two years. It did not bode well for Trump in the midterm elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strap in folks and watch as psychopaths in both parties come to the forefront during the next two years, promoting their personal agendas for power and influence disguised by gaslighting, lies, and propaganda. It\u2019s inevitable because psychopaths have only one gameplan: personal power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately for We the People, these nutjobs will be easily identified, just in time for the presidential election in 2028! I almost can\u2019t wait for that. In the meantime, break out the popcorn and enjoy the show as much as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And remember, all endings are happy endings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The party in power usually loses seats during the off year (midterm) after a presidential election, so the Democrat win is no surprise.
