 Interesting facts. The first session of the U.S. Supreme Court was held on Wall Street. Alexander Hamilton’s law office was on Wall Street as is his grave at the little Episcopal church, one of the oldest preserved buildings in Manhattan. Wall Street housed the strongest voices urging Lincoln to a violent attack on the South. Given the decisive unelected power of big financiers on our country one is tempted to say that the strongest power in the U.S. is located on that same street. We South Carolinians have longed and hoped for a strong challenger to Lispey Graham in the next Republican Senate primary. Andre Bauer has announced his candidacy. This is not what we hoped for. Bauer is a deep-dyed Establishment Republican, although he now claims to be “a conservative fighter for President Trump.” In the last Republican primary for governor he got 12.4 % of the vote. A conspicuous lack of charisma and of anything other than a mainstream Republican record. The destruction of Confederate monuments is not only an atrocity against history, it is an atrocity against American art. And carried out by mob rule and by politicians who have never done anything constructive even for their own people. America’s big cities are now corrupt and deteriorating. Nobody who knows anything about the true history of “Reconstruction” should be surprised. The world I grew up in was very far from perfect. But we have since added evils that could not even been imagined then:

 We can never fail to thank him for the courageous change he has made in American politics and public discourse. He spoke openly about threats to the American people that every Republican congressman and presidential hopeful was too shallow and cowardly to even acknowledge the existence of. This is a revolutionary event in U.S. history that we can hope will have long lasting effects. He seems to have made a start toward correcting the immigrant crisis and reducing the monstrous federal bureaucracy. We don’t really know how far these reforms have gone and how far they will be able to go. We actually do not know what is happening now with these reforms. Can they really be solved definitively? We already see opposition by the “mainstream” Republicans, wedded to government spending and avoidance of real issues. The issue of the “Big, Beautiful Bill” seems strange and incomprehensible. Has he sold out to the Establishment Republicans (always his greatest obstacle) and abandoned his populist base? What is he after? Is there something we don’t understand going on? Trump’s defect in personalising disagreements has caused him to attack some of the strongest and most important figures that have inspired his movement. This is bound to bring confusion to his base. It has certainly lowered my estimate of his capacity for statesmanship. And, of course, most saliently is the “forever war” question. Trump’s stand on this accounted for much of his support, but we now find him making criminal and unconstitutional attacks on another country on flimsy evidence - just like his predecessors. It is like George W. Bush’s dishonesty if not stupidity again. Has he sold out completely to the Zionists? Or is he trying rash acts in hope of bringing them under control, something which is likely not possible for any U.S. President? And what about the deceitful suppression of the Epstein material? Why? And will the administration prosecute the crimes committed by the CIA and other government powers? Or will these crimes be forgotten from the Republican desire to keep the government respectable? Trump brought decent America some hope. At this date we do not know whether we were conned once again. We do know that MAGA and its promise of reform has been seriously damaged. If Trump does not fulfill his declared mission, that leaves us with the truth that electoral politics can never save us from the evil Yankee Empire. |
