Don’t underestimate the effectiveness of the latest form of lawfare currently being waged by anti-Trump prosecutors and leftist federal judges. The Democrats currently have no effective platform that their voters or their representatives in Congress can rally around enthusiastically. Thus, like an animal backed into a corner, their only play has become rabidly attacking every policy of the Trump Administration. The court system has become their weapon of choice.
For context, there were a total of 14 nationwide court injunctions issued against the Biden Administration during the first three years of Biden’s term in office. A total of 15 nationwide injunctions have been issued against the Trump Administration in just the month of February alone. That follows more than 120 lawsuits having been brought against the Trump Administration in just the first two months of his 2nd term. By adhering to traditional norms of law, and engaging in this legal charade, the Administration is unwillingly granting it a degree of legitimacy that only further empowers the perpetrators.
Throughout the news media, even the conservative media, the Dems have managed to create a narrative that there is an appropriate legal basis for the record number of lawsuits and nationwide injunctions being brought against the Trump Administration. For the most part, the Administration is responding to these actions in regular legal fashion. In the process, however, they have fallen directly into the trap laid by Chuck Schumer and the 235 activist progressive judges he recently bragged about confirming to the federal bench (watch Schumer here).
All this legal wrangling has captured an enormous portion of the news cycle. The bigger context of why Trump was elected can easily get lost in the noise of this lawfare. This, of course, is exactly what the Democrats want, and what Republicans and the Trump Administration must steadfastly avoid.
To focus back, Trump’s two main campaign promises were:
- Getting our border under control and immediately deporting criminal illegal aliens, especially gang members.
- To rid the government of the culturally and fiscally destructive deep state -progressive subversives buried within the federal workforce and the judiciary.
The Administration is making astounding progress on both these fronts, despite all the seditious actions from leftist judges and deep state operatives.
It is dangerous work finding, apprehending, and removing alien criminal gang members. It will take time, but we are confident the superb team Trump has assembled for this task will finish by the end of his term.
Solving our fiscal nightmare and restoring our culture is more complicated. This is where we are seeing the most lawfare resistance.
On the fiscal front, Elon Musk has placed himself and his DOGE team at the pointy end of the spear. He is uncovering rampant waste and fraud so fast, it is impossible for the Dems to hide all their clandestine flows of taxpayer money going to legions of progressive interests.
As a result, the Dem’s have decided to go “full Hitler” on Musk, doing everything possible to cast him as an evil villain everyone should despise. Their loathing of Musk’s exploratory surgery on the federal bureaucracy is so profound, they see themselves as justified in destroying the greatest innovator and brilliant mind of our time. Elon must continue to shrug it off and stay focused on the amazing work he and his team are accomplishing every day.
The effort to return our culture to traditional values and norms started with the eradication of all things DEI from the federal government. However, our culture spreads far beyond government, and for any change to be lasting it must permeate through the education system. Several generations of our young have been brainwashed with progressive tripe embedded in the public school system. This has doomed many of them for the competitive real world.
Here is just a sampling of things that need cultural realignment:
- No, there are not more than two sexes.
- No, raging antisemitism on college campuses is not free speech – it is pure hate bordering on terrorism.
- No, this country did not begin in 1619, it began in 1776.
- No, it is not in any way appropriate for men to be in women’s locker rooms or compete in women’s sports.
- No, we are not all inherently racist, nor is there systemic racism throughout this country.
Most importantly for our culture, children must learn at a young age that while everyone is entitled to an equal opportunity, no one is entitled to an equal outcome from that opportunity. Success must be earned through merit and hard work. Our schools should teach critical thinking and civilized debate instead of Saul Alinksy-type activism, gender identity and racial ideology.
Finally, it appears that we are about to have a WWE-style fight over authorities between the Judicial branch and the Executive branch. Per the media’s marquee, that bout will begin in courtrooms this week. Our bet is that the Executive branch will triumph, but it may be an ugly battle getting there.
