Election 2024: Restoration, Not Just Maintenance or Managed Decline

We are down to the wire. November 5th, here it comes.

The polling is up and down and all around. According to many polls, Trump is ahead of Kamala Harris by one or two points in all the swing states. Yet the lingering fears of voter fraud and election tampering remain high among the MAGA faithful. Vigilance and early voting are important, but ensuring that the Democratic machines cannot manufacture ballots is also necessary. Has anyone paid attention long enough to prevent that gross corruption? We shall see.

To the credit of the RNC and its new leadership, Republicans are proactively fending off voter fraud issues and election integrity problems. Still, I agree with Evan Power, Chairman of the Florida GOP: every state should adopt the Sunshine State’s flawless, effective, and smooth voting procedures. Once a state synonymous with crisis-level counting problems (Elections 1876, 2000, 2018), Florida has become the hallmark for sound election procedures—and across two time zones!

I have my fingers crossed that Donald Trump will win, whether by a little or a lot. But the fight will not be over, not by a long shot.

Our country is bitterly divided. The fact that Americans are so invested—nay, obsessed—with the Presidential election is contrary to everything that the Framers hoped for. The presidency has become too oppressive and omnipresent in our lives. I wrote “The Presidency” and not “The President.” As Greg Greenwald has observed, the United States government has been functioning without a functional president for the last six months, the perfect evidence that the Deep State is real and needs to be eradicated root and branch.

The federal government spends too much, does too much, is too much.

I welcome Elon Musk and retired US Congressman Ron Paul’s cost-cutting proposals. Forget the Office of Government Efficiency. Just go “Javier Milei” on the federal government and start shutting down all the useless, unconstitutional executive departments. I would start with the Department of Education, but Housing, Transportation, the Interior, Commerce, and others should be on the chopping block ASAP.

But I want to make a greater plea from our next President and our remaining resilient citizenry, regardless of who wins the Presidential election this November.

I am tired of managed decline, and I do not want the hastened, woke decline of Kamala Harris and Company. Aren’t we tired of the specter of Communism becoming a little more concrete with every passing year? Aren’t we tired of the next generation struggling with deeper mental issues and steeper financial problems?

Since the end of the Cold War, post 9-11, we have seen nothing but the casual, then accelerated erosion of our constitutional Republic. Though I have a slight, cautious optimism that Trump will win the election, I fear that he will continue to lose the war: the war against cultural Marxism, the fight against moral decline, and the battle against unconstitutional oversight and overreach.

It’s not only his failures from his previous four-year team. George W. Bush relished the surveillance state, and Barack Obama fed the Military-Industrial Complex as well as fomented government intrusion into one-sixth of the American economy (Obamacare).

We, the People, can no longer neglect or ignore the burgeoning, ballooning national debt. From the erosion of the dollar to skyrocketing costs for food and fuel, unconstitutional indebtedness must be savagely savaged. No more excuses!

Will President Trump step up and change course from his previous four years? He cut the regulations; he allowed energy production to flow unhindered. There were generous economic improvements. However, the spending, the immigration issues, and the Swamp all remained stagnant or malignant. We can no longer tolerate Trump-like half-measures as a people or as a country. Four more years of managed decline and tapering the excesses of the political Left plus the Woke DC bureaucracy won’t cut it. And We, the People, should not tolerate it.

It saddens me that I must look to once-backward foreign countries like Argentina and El Salvador for hope and guidance. Nayib Bukele has cleaned up his country, locking up all the gangs and improving public safety to such a level that his Central American nation is safer than the United States! He is expanding business, investment, and international prestige for his once-pariah state. He turned a gang-invested hell-hole into a must-visit destination.

Then there’s libertarian President/Rock Star Javier Milei. This man has taken a chainsaw to every government program. He is privatizing at the fastest clip in modern history. He hasn’t just tapered but flattened inflation. And he embraces cultural restoration, as well. He educates the next generation about the Right to Life. He has lectured Globalist Cesspools like the WEF and the UN that their collectivist visions are myopic dystopias.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not just winning another war on terror, but he wins with such assiduousness. No prolonged battles, and terrorists in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Iran are on the run. He puts his people first. He stops illegal immigration and stands up for the rights of Christians, though they are a minority in his country.

Why can’t we have good things, too? Shouldn’t the President of the United States make these broad, bold moves? Trump should follow the example of his international peers. But will he?

Above all, the United States must be re-united around our constitutional republic, Anglo-American legal traditions, Judeo-Christian heritage, and most importantly, Revolutionary Legacy. Right now, these historic accolades are not just under attack but in disrepute and disarray.

I welcome Governor Ron DeSantis’ reminder of the Vision of our Founders during his RNC 2024 Speech. The American People need to revive that vision, for where there is no vision, the people perish (Proverbs  29:18). It is time for us to cry out, “Restore, Restore” (Isaiah 42:22) as opposed to settling for the maintenance of the status quo or managed decline.

President Trump, Restore America’s greatness and make it stand the test of time!
