Election reflections

Posted

After the election results of Nov. 5, it’s difficult to decide what to talk about this week.

Let’s start with Kamala’s vote in Osage County. She received 13% of the vote, which is exactly what Hillary Clinton got in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020. Considering Kamala’s role in hiding Joe’s mental and physical condition and the situation with the border, not to mention inflation, crime and out-of-control spending, I’m a little surprised she racked up 13%.

Trump’s performance was truly a surprise to me. I was hopeful he would win, but I would never have thought he could win by the margins that have come in. Winning all seven swing states was incredible. The margin of the win in the Senate was almost as incredible. If we can keep the House, we should be able to get our country back.

There will be a huge amount of action to watch unfold in the coming months and years. With Trump in the White House there will be non-stop action, most of which Americans will enjoy.

I’m anxious to see how Vice President JD Vance grows. I hope and literally pray that he develops into the kind of leader the American people want to have head this country after Trump’s term is completed.

I’m also excited to see what kind of contributions Elon Musk and RFK Jr. will be able to make. Musk has already said he can cut $2 trillion from federal spending. That would be something to watch. RFK Jr. faces a daunting challenge, if he’s allowed to take the toxins out of our food system and fix Americans’ health. I think it can be done and I can’t wait to see him get started.

Part of what RFK Jr. will have to do is connected with how we deal with our soils and climate change. The Democrats were prepared to spend $92 trillion on their Green New Deal. How America deals with her soils and how others around the world are dealing with soil issues is a matter of grave concern, but is also a matter of great interest. I strongly urge you to google two videos, “How the UN is holding back the Sahara Desert” and “The Forests of Lilengo.” The UN is proposing to spend $33 billion dollars to create a barrier of trees and other vegetation across the entire continent of Africa, a distance of almost 3,700 miles. Compare that price to the Green New Deal. The second video deals with land in Australia that is being reclaimed from the desert.

Trump alone will be enough to keep our attention, but his appointment of Tom Homan as border czar will provide a great comparison of government by Republicans versus government by Democrats under Mayorkas…not to mention some very interesting material.

The Democrats are not going to be left out. They will continue to provide examples of absolutely horrible behavior by government employees on their watch. It will be interesting to follow the story of the FEMA official who told employees not to assist hurricane victims that had Trump signs in their yards. How deep will this story go and how many similar stories will surface?
