There’s no time to waste
Harry Hopkins was FDR’s most essential aide. He lived in the White House down the hall from the president, whose wife was often traveling.
When Winston Churchill arrived at the White House as a house guest on December 22, 1941, to plot war strategy, he laid down on every mattress in every bedroom until he found the one that suited him.
I share these tales because I wonder what bedroom Musk will take, or will he lease in Blair House across from the White House?
Perhaps he will choose to build on the crater where the Washington Post once stood. Jeff Bezos isn’t a dilettante, but he has a taste for dilettantism. Perhaps he thinks he will be recalled as a great lover and sailor, but the truth is that the entrepreneur turned monopolist and union buster will be remembered primarily for one thing: sinking the truth, along with the newspaper. Under the Bezos regime, “Democracy didn’t die in darkness,” but rather, in broad daylight under the leadership of one of Rupert Murdoch’s shady British scumbags, who interfered in a criminal investigation by destroying evidence. The foundation of The Washington Post was integrity, and it is more than cracked when it is needed most.
Like I have said, the newsroom coda will soon be, “Have you been nice to Trump today? Show me how.”
It will be despicable, frustrating and heartbreaking to watch, but from collapse will come the green shoots of renewal.
The Atlantic, The Guardian, Puck News, The Free Press, and new names will carry on and forward, using the First Amendment as a shield and sword to defend what must be defended to the last.
We live in a free nation. The government serves the people. There is no place to compromise on this point. None.
Donald Trump has put forward a cabinet of startling and magnificent strangeness. There has not been a convocation of equivalent human oddities since Mr. Ripley and Mr. Barnum threw up their first big tops.
Yet, the media, according to Trump, has been “tamed,” and he is mostly right.
The 119th Congress will convene shortly, and immediately erupt into chaos, lunacy, recrimination and spasms of idiocy.
Meanwhile, the Biden era will gasp to its end.
The cost of the gaslighting, corruption, denialism, and sycophancy of his aides and corrupt media figures, like Associated Press executive editor Julia Pace, who got rich writing a crappy hagiography about Biden’s wife that sold less than 2,500 copies, but guaranteed her access for four years will be painful for the American people. The deal that she made guaranteed what was obvious would never be reported, at least not by the Associated Press.
How did that work out for the American people?
I’m going to write more about the rottenness of the AP and its top political editor and reporter leading up to the inauguration.
It is important to comprehend what is real and what is not, and unfortunately, much of the American media — but not all — cannot be trusted to tell you the truth.
It is essential to talk about honesty before Trump’s inauguration because it is the most powerful tool against him.
It is important to acknowledge that the opposition has been laid low by dishonest grifters, charlatans and cynical people who tried to ride the Trump tiger, who treated him as a prop, as opposed to a threat, and in the end, lost an election to the most prolific liar in American history because, compared to them, he was seen as the honest one.
Facing this is necessary.
It is urgent.
Trump will face no serious threat until he faces a decent opposition. When that forms is anyone’s guess.
I’m sick of it. Are you?
During the next days I’m going to talk about what is required to form a ferocious, disciplined opposition that can win.
Four years from this moment, the year will be 2029. We will stand 20 days away from the next inauguration.
There is no time to waste when it comes to preparing to win.
The very first thing that needs to happen is reflection.
What does a decent opposition look like?
I will tell you the truth on this platform. You may not like hearing it, but I thank you for being a part of The Warning community, where I invite discussion and debate. It is a place where Americanism will be celebrated and defended. No matter what, there will never be a day where a punch is pulled out of fear or favor. Ever.
Happy New Year.
Some people say we shouldn't play "what if" about Joe Biden's hubristic and foolish decision to run again after essentially promising not to. But I say, we must address what happened with complete and brutal honesty if we are to have any chance at a renewal. It starts with calling out the lies and hypocrisy, from whatever camp from which they come. For example, I remember Bakari Sellars and so many other democrat grifters saying Biden would win, even after the debate.
They only did that because they thought their path to power and money within the party required them to blindly prop up our own "dear leader". In America, there is no dear leader, on any side! There is only the constitution and those elected officials who temporarily get the privilege to serve the people from time to time.
I have lost nearly all respect for Joe Biden. I remember telling my wife in 2020, after I saw him in person at a fundraiser, that he looked very decrepit but I was counting on him and Jill to know and say when it was time to step aside. How naive I now seem to believe this. Trump is an inveterate liar, but he appeals to low information voters because he looks honest by comparison to the media and many in the democratic party machine.
Let's rip off the bandaid and stare into the abyss if we are to move forward after this debacle. We must stop coddling Joe and Jill Biden's ego and any other person in the democrat party who only cares about their power and money. They must be exposed and rooted out. And I say all of this as a Democrat!
Looking forward to reading you every day in 2025. The first post by the incoming POtuS of 2025 about the horrific incident in New Orleans contained a LIE about crime being out of control in the USA! Part of his plan that only he can “fix” it!
