Commentary: Give Me Fertility, or Give Me Death

American Greatness
Liberal Women

For an estimated two-thirds of America’s unmarried, childless women, the November 5 election was about rejecting a candidate who exuded “toxic masculinity,” along with rebellion against a Supreme Court that overruled their right to “reproductive health care.” And while these childless women and their candidate lost the election, they’re winning a bigger war. They are leading us to extinction.

We now have tens of millions of American women who think unrestricted access to abortions is more important than prosperity, security, freedom, and world peace. And in alarming percentages, these women are not having babies. What this portends transcends politics and strikes to the very future of civilization.

Every few months, a sanitized report appears on the post-presidency activities of Barack Obama’s public advocacy.

FEMA Supervisor Who Allegedly Directed Staff to Avoid Homes with Trump Signs Claims It Was a Widespread Practice Due to ‘Political Hostility’

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supervisor accused of directing workers to skip hurricane-ravaged homes in Florida with Trump signs, claimed in an interview Monday that the policy was widespread and that she was being scapegoated.

Marn’i Washington was fired on Saturday after whistleblowers told the Daily Wire that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were passed over at the end of October into November due to the guidance, depriving them of the opportunity to qualify for FEMA assistance. She had worked for the agency since 2019.

There are a lot of post-mortems on the election at the moment. Many who predicted a Kamala Harris victory are now trying to explain how Donald Trump was elected.

“Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves.” – William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

“They had learned nothing and forgotten nothing.” – Often attributed to Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand

The Democratic election postmortem immediately descended into public blame-gaming—as expected. When Joe Biden was forced off the ticket in late July, the conspirators issued a party line that he was to be praised as a veritable George Washington—in the spirit of Washington’s farewell address of 1796 about why it was a good thing for the first president not to run for a third term.

Commentary: Making America Safe Again Will Be Donald Trump’s Highest Priority as President

American Greatness
Donald Trump

In my opinion, the most important of all of Donald Trump’s promises during the 2024 presidential campaign was to “make America safe again” by restoring American leadership and peace through strength.

This is because Joe Biden will leave Trump with grave national security challenges around the world. U.S. weakness under Biden, Biden’s frivolous foreign policy that designated climate change as the top U.S. national security threat, and major foreign policy failures have caused U.S. and global security to seriously deteriorate since 2021.

Best of all, he won a resounding popular vote victory, the final numbers of which will come in the days to come.

The thing that Democrats, Republican NeverTrumpers, and their media cohorts hate most about Trump has nothing to do with his rhetoric, policies, morals, or personality. Rather, they despise Trump’s highlighter. They respected Obama’s pen and phone, but when Trump first wielded his brazenly bright, blondish-orange highlighter on the 2016 primary trail — shining a politically incorrect light on issues like immigration and international trade policies — it terrified them.

He also mentions that there were no spelling tests, students didn’t practice handwriting of any kind, cursive or otherwise, and didn’t learn the 50 states and their capitals, let alone world geography.

Aldeman is very concerned by this shift, arguing that her educational experience has “reduced instructional time devoted to science and social studies and emphasized isolated skills such as critical thinking or reading comprehension over teaching students a coherent body of knowledge and facts.”
