A new country, some new norms





 "America - in January we will have a new type of America with new norms. But this 'new' will be all good. America will be great again. And greater again. And healthier again. And stronger again. Are you ready for it? I sure am!" 


Hang on to your britches during this strong political windstorm folks - things are about to change. Like what? The projected trifecta. The red team having the White House, the Senate and the House. The good news is I read an article which showed the chances of the Republicans having control of the Senate for years to come is very good. Why? More red states than blue states, and now most of the Democrat Senators in red states have been vanquished. Gone. Now the bad news - the control of the House might slip away (by one vote) to the Democrats. Ouch. Will that derail the Trump Train? No, but it will make things a whole lot tougher.

We now have 45 days until Donald Trump is sworn in. Less than a month until the new Congress is sworn in. Guess what is happening in the meanwhile? A whole lot of posturing and negotiating. Trump and his team are working hard with the new Senate to ensure his cabinet picks can get through the approval process and get through fast. But something else is going on. Back channels and social media. Even though the Trump Administration is not official as yet, America needs a president. And as most of us know, Joe Biden or Kamala are not up to the task. With the world walking on eggshells right now, there needs to be a voice of clarity to our friends and foes alike. 

We might as well face facts. With the White House being nothing more than a resume machine right now, with maybe some pardons on the horizon (at best), the real "White House" is located at Mar-a-Lago. That is where all the action is. That is where the new policies are being formulated. That is where our yet to be "official" president lives. This is where our allies are getting their new hope, and the world's bad guys are getting their last warning. For anyone who thinks there is not a new sheriff in town, better get their heads out of the sand. To quote Wyatt Earp from the movie Tombstone, the message the world's baddies need to understand is this - "I am coming and bringing hell with me!" This is especially true for anyone holding American hostages.

Last night was the Freedom Awards on Fox. This year they were different. There was joy in the air and a spring in everyone's step. Donald Trump won the "Patriot of the Year" award. Well-deserved in my opinion. This is a country bursting with patriotism right now. A MAGA infestation if you like. What was one of the deciding numbers in the past election? Donald Trump's base. 97% of his base (which makes up half the country), stood by him. Why? They knew things were better when he was POTUS. Most of the 97% that I have met are hard core patriots and citizens. Not RINOS, not tepid voters - these are the red, white and blue true believers.  

 America - in January we will have a new type of America with new norms. But this "new" will be all good. America will be great again. And greater again. And healthier again. And stronger again. Are you ready for it? I sure am!
