Great piece. For lifelong conservatives, it has been decades of speaking these self-evident truths to power. We are happy, however, to have new allies in Elon, Marc, Bill, et al.

The future is bright. The contrast between what these two administrations will bring could not be more clear. Get out and vote for Trump/Vance people!

The Dems have perfected the scheme of warehousing their believers in high paying NGO positions and funding them both generously and anonymously.

The NGOs perform actions that are often not authorized by US law. They are the chief drivers in prepping illegal aliens as to how to travel to and how to enter the US illegally and then are funded to deal with them after they do enter the country.

The Biden admin has used them to create this flood of future Dem voters with taxpayer funds.

It is corruption and nothing else.

Joe, this is an excellent piece because it bridges the gap between the abstract and the concrete. Dogmatic ideologues do not believe until they see. You shake them out of their imaginary world by pointing out the concrete reality. Well done, and more, please.

I subscribed because I was told what a genius you are, and it's probably true, but you bored me most of time. However, I remained a subscriber because you never know when someone smart will say something really smart. This is the second piece I found worthy, the first was the interview with Phil Gramm which I linked to an article of my own, and this one, which I will be linking and quoting from in a future article.

There is one thing I find interesting is your view we are on the verge of a "Golden Age" if we can escape the swamp. Crushing the deep state and the leftist fever swamps will make a huge difference admittedly, but a “golden age”? I doubt that.

I've always believed in historical cycles, and read three books on the subject, and while the writers all have their own terminology and odd ways of creating coherence through connectives, they all come to the same conclusion. We’re in an end cycle, and all end cycles involve massive economic downturns, and violence.

The world’s government are in debt to the tune of almost 310 trillion dollars, and many of these nations are in capable of repaying that debt, and the debt holders are incapable of collecting it, and I include China.

There are six things a nation needs to be self-sufficient. The ability to feed itself, fuel itself, arm itself, defend itself, created its own internal market, and pay off their national debt. There’s only one nation on Earth that can do all six, and that’s the United States. The international debt will destroy the world’s economy, except for America.

While international trade is an important economic factor, it’s not life saving for the United States. But there will be no golden age, just national survival, while the rest of the world breaks up into semi to totally autonomous states, which is Europe’s foundational social paradigm, as well as China’s, and the Middle East and Africa will break up into tribal states. South America will mostly remain as it is because the geography is so difficult, but they will all be broke.

One of the most important reasons why this election matters is the potential for the US to become enmeshed in a large scale regional or global conflict.

The Biden admin has made foreign policy blunders -- withdrawing and failing to enforce the Iran sanctions thereby funding Iran's vast portfolio of terror proxies resulting in the regional conflict now underway in the Middle East -- that have moved us closer to a great power conflict.

The current war in the Middle East was caused by the Biden admin and a Harris admin promises more of the same.

Joe, I'm embarrassed for you. Your bias supersedes your self described intelligence many fold,

Ditto! One-sided propaganda. I prefer to read what the 23 Nobel Prize-winning economists have to say in their letter about Harris’ economic agenda. I have to ask this. Who are you going to get to work all the labor and service jobs in this country? Immigrants are the only ones who will work cleaning your hotel rooms, washing your dishes and preparing meals in your restaurants, working in warehouses and supply chain jobs, cutting your grass, building your homes, and all the jobs no Americans want to do? Without them, businesses are going to have to pay people a lot more money and that increase is going to be passed along to consumers. What does that do??

America needs immigration. On that subject we agree. We currently admit approximately 2MM legal immigrants annually.

America has a program of legal immigration including guest worker programs. That is the way immigrants should enter the country -- legally. On that subject we, apparently, disagree.

Legal immigrants are vetted. Illegal immigrants - also approximately 2MM per year under the Biden/Harris admin - are not. The failure to vet illegal immigrants injects chaos, crime, and terrorism into our society.

You support criminal activity. I, and many other law abiding citizens, do not.

Why do you aid and abet criminal activity? To have your grass cut at a lower price? Is that worth the crime? The murders? Your grass cutting price?

Shame on you.
