To-Do List for President Trump

We wait in joyful hope for the beginning of the New Dispensation. Roll on January 20th. If you're talking or writing to the Donald, please pass on Walt's suggestions for things he should do on Day One... or Days Two through Six. In no particular order...

Start finishing the Wall. Cancel Senile Joe's sale of the building materials and get the contractors working 24/7... pronto, Tonto!

Start rounding up the illegals, especially the 1000s of criminals among them, for deportation ASAP. Texas has offered a tract of land on which to build holding camps for them. Why should they live better here than in the shitholes they came from?

Cancel all federal funding of NPR and PBS. Why should taxpayers have to pay for anti-American, woke propaganda? Let them raise their own bucks with a never-ending "pledge week".

Authorize the refurbishing and public display of statues, flags and symbols of the Confederate States of America. Maybe Mr Trump didn't actually say there were good folks on both sides of some recent unpleasantness, but when it comes to the Glorious War of the Secessaion, that's the truth!

Make it illegal to display flags or symbols or any country or political group or "social movement" at odds with America and American values. No more "pride/progressive" or ISIS or Russian or Iranian or Communist flags, especially on American campuses or public buildings.  

Drill, baby, drill! Reverse the Dumbocratic cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline, and let the Canadian oil and gas flow freely to promote energy security for the US of A.

Restore Presidential Prayer Breakfasts. Let Dr Franklin Graham lead our leaders in prayer. If some politicians are uncomfortable with that, that's good!

Get transgender "men" our of women's sports, and vice versa. God created two sexes... only two... et vive la différence.

So also with the military. Women do not belong in combat roles in the armed forces. Putting women on the front lines with men has been a disaster from the get-go. Putting the LGBTQ types anywhere in the services weakens our fighting forces. Let American men... ONLY... fight for America!

Invite, on a Be-There-Or-Else! basis, Presidents Putin and Zelenskyy, and Prime Minister Netanyahu and Hassan Ben Sober (or whoever is leading Hamas at the moment), to Mar-a-Lago for compulsory arbitration. Lock them in a room and bang their heads together until they agree to stop fighting.

On Day Seven, President Trump can rest.

That's my list... for starters. Readers are invited to click on the headline to open the "Comments" window to add more. 

Recommended reading: In Trump and the American Future, written before the 2020 election, New Gingrich asks: Will...President Trump lead us back to strong economic growth, a foreign and trade policy of putting American interests first, dismantling the deep state, and dramatically reforming the bureaucracies? Four years later, that's still a good question, to which we look for an affirmative answer. Mr Gingrich's book is available, in a Kindle edition, on Amazon.

President Trump decries removal of statue of Robert E. Lee

In his prescient novel 1984, George Orwell describes the "woke" society which the liberals and loony left have created for us in this century. A quote: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute." 

The endless process of trying to make the past conform to the liberal vision of the present and future continued this week, as the great monument to General Robert E. Lee, hero of the Glorious War of the Secessrion and (some would say) the Greatest Virginian of All Time, was lifted off its plinth in Richmond VA.

You can erase the images of history. You can obliterate the images and statues that commemorate great events and great people. But, try as you might to pretend that these things -- people and events -- didn't exist, you can't change history. They did exist, and until you can lobotomize the entire population [Don't think they wouldn't do it, if they could! Ed.], some people will remember, and will pass on their memories to others.

President Donald Trump remembers who General Lee was, and what he stood for, and has issued a statement denouncing the removal of the biggest Confederate statue in the US of A. He called General Lee a "unifying force" who was "ardent in his resolve to bring the North and South together through many means of reconciliation and imploring his soldiers to do their duty in becoming good citizens of this Country." 

He went on to say the US would have benefitted from having Lee leading the war in Afghanistan. Could be. General Lee's orderly withdrawal from Richmond saved the city from further destruction, and saved the lives of 1000s of his men. More important, it brought the war to a close without one final bloodbath. 

"If only we had Robert E. Lee to command our troops in Afghanistan, that disaster would have ended in a complete and total victory many years ago," wrote President Trump. "What an embarrassment we are suffering because we don't have the genius of a Robert. E. Lee."

Well, the ultra-woke iconoclasts encourage by the Democraps and their Antifa and BLM allies have succeeded in hauling General Lee from his pedestal. In other cities, statues of Washington and Lincoln have had the same shameful treatment. But it's a long road that has no turnings. What has been torn down can be erected again, once Americans recover from their temporary insanity. Selah!
