This is the last day of 2024 and, as a popular song from years past said, “There’s reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the last.”
Tomorrow begins the mid-point of the 2020—a decade that began with COVID-19 and marched straight forward through five full years of misery.
The Deep State convinced President Donald Trump to shut down life as we knew it for just “15 days to stop the spread” but, as Dr. Deborah Birx admitted, they immediately began plotting to keep you and your family locked up for good.
Your health deteriorated. Your kids forgot basic skills and started to see the pool of their learning begin to dry up and their rates of depression went up and up. Your loved ones got sick, wasted away, and breathed their last without seeing your face, holding your hand, or sometimes getting a proper burial. Dr. Anthony Fauci told you to wear your mask, roll up your sleeves, and get your shot.
While the Deep State worked its number, the blue states locked you down tighter than ever while they partied it up at beauty parlors, vacation homes, and gourmet restaurants with names like “The French Laundry.”
As the decade rolled on, the hits just kept coming: questionable elections, mask and vaccine mandates, inflation, a fentanyl crisis, an administration that gave 100% of the jobs to immigrants and deported almost 0% of illegal aliens, a vice president who laughed about you having to quit your job to watch your kids, and a president who dozed off at summits and faded off into the sunset…also at summits, as puzzled world leaders gazed at him with confusion.
As Joe Biden prepares to go to one of his many mansions—and soon, no doubt, to go the way of Jimmy Carter—he’s signing off on every check to Ukraine he can, because he knows his time is running out.
In just six days, Congress will have to certify Donald Trump as president-elect of the United States. In 20 days, he will put his hand on the Bible, take the oath of office, and become the 47th president of the United States.
In the new year that begins tomorrow, a new tone, a new focus, and a new clientele will direct our country and its future.
The best changes begin at the top, when America exchanges a senile embarrassment of a president for a man who is able to lead the country on his own. Biden was too weak to stand up to world leaders. In his first term, Trump would physically yank other countries’ prime ministers out of place, if that’s what it took, to put the American president in the front of the group. Trump campaigned on America First, and he’ll try to govern that way.
Biden gave foreign nations sweetheart trade deals. Trump will slap tariffs on countries that don’t open their hearts and their markets.
Biden handed out loans. Trump will start calling in favors.
Biden checked his watch at the funeral of U.S. soldiers killed by foreign terrorists and told their parents about the bravery and heroism…or his son, Beau. Donald Trump will keep us out of wars and tell anyone who threatens us they’d better check their watch, because their time is up.
Not only is America trading Biden for Trump, but we’re trading him for a better version of Trump. In his first term, President Trump fought Deep State leakers and insiders as a newcomer with no firsthand knowledge of how the D.C. game worked. Those days are over.
Not only will America get a better president, but we also replace an incompetent vice president with an ingenious vice president.
Unlike the current vice president, no one will assume Trump chose him as a diversity hire. (No one ever questioned whether Kamala Harris was a diversity hire, either. No one had to.)
Unlike a certain previous vice president, Vance won’t spend his time in office using his (young) children as conduits for foreign dictators to bribe their way into making U.S. policy.
Kamala Harris has no impression accomplishments to her name. J.D. Vance wrote an acclaimed, award-winning autobiography about growing up poor and disadvantaged in Appalachian Ohio. If the billionaires forcing their way into Mar-a-Lago get the president’s ear, Vice President Vance will make sure the ordinary people from his hometown are never forgotten.
The new administration will make a clean sweep through every policy in the country. Trump promised to close the border “on day one,” cutting off the flow of illegal immigrants, deadly fentanyl (often disguised as prescription medication), and human trafficking victims into American neighborhoods. Mass deportations will open up jobs to American workers. A recent report combed through numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and found that 2.9 million immigrants entered the U.S. workforce between 2019 and the end of 2023, while 183,000 fewer U.S. citizens are holding down jobs.
Trump will also end the huge spending-sprees that brought inflation to 40-year highs in the Biden administration and cut the taxes Biden promised to raise.
More factories opening in America, and more Americans workers paying lower taxes, means a more prosperous country lies just over the horizon.
The new administration will wipe out liberals high and low.
On the high end, the rules and the shots that the World Health Organization wants to force on the whole world are out—and we might just be out of WHO, too. Let the Chinese lie to us about their lab-created viruses for free.
On the low end, the social media influencers and transgender TikTok personalities who got featured and “platformed” at every Biden administration event will have no place in the Trump-Vance administration.
Out are men who believe they’re women, exposing their false “breasts” to the entire country on the White House grounds. In will come a group of commonsense Americans who believe in God and will cover the president in prayer.
At the local level, say goodbye to teachers insisting that first graders deserve to change their name and pronouns without their parents knowing it. Parents will have sole responsibility over their children.
America will have a president who doesn’t love George Floyd as much as George Washington.
We will have an American president—and, maybe soon, the America we knew and loved—back again.
Happy New Year!
