Incoming Trump administration to bring hope for America — and the world

Recent machinations of our current administration remind me of cockroaches darting into darkness when exposed to light. Beginning with Joe Biden’s preemptive pardon of son Hunter, radical Democrats are scurrying for cover, speculating preemptive pardons for corrupt bureaucrats, and for 20 million illegal migrants! Blanket absolution without confession and repentance? While immigration laws were violated, this administration fueled and funded drug and sex-trafficking resulting in over 320,000 children missing, raped or killed. Now politicians want immunity from prosecution which only demonstrates their guilt. They fear the same treatment they devised against Trump.

Meanwhile, there is anything but the promised smooth transition of powers. Long range weapons sent to Ukraine risking global war, preemptive extended contracts to prevent Musk and Ramaswamy from reducing a bloated bureaucracy, and maligning Trump’s cabinet appointments as inexperienced, rapists, or evil. If the Epstein and Combs records became public, much of DC would have reason to resign.

Now there is hope for America and the world. The Trump administration plans transformation for the good. Let’s cut the corruption of fat, fraud and waste like studies of sexy goldfish and AI toilets. Let’s return our military to formidable defense and schools to quality education rather than being laboratories for indoctrination and gender changes. Let’s have true science regarding gender identity and climate history, change and projections. Let’s end weaponization of three-lettered agencies against citizens, praying at Planned Parenthood and exercising their 1st and 2nd Amendment rights. Let’s make government accountable and give Donald Trump a chance.
