Two and a half days of post-democracy
Never mind the declaration of war or the authorization of force, never mind the national debate or the campaign promises; now that The Party need not fear the press or the law or the people, they've dispensed even with announcing the war: among the Establishment's first orders of business for the fraud Joe Biden, signing whatever it is they place onto his desk and repeating whatever it is they whisper into his earpiece, was the ordering of hundreds of troops into Syria. The forces were rolled in and choppered in all of 24 hours after the inauguration, and the people were left to discover our latest war effort days after its ordering, second-hand from Syrian and other Mideastern press. Lest it be doubted that this is a Mideastern entanglement wanted by no-one but the Establishment, they never let on about it before the election, then the instant the inauguration is past them, they give the order and don't trouble themselves even to acknowledge it to the country and the world.
(Update to paragraph hereunder, December 2024: Of course by now we know, the object of this re-occupation of Syria was more sinister than the cover-story I had consumed; evidently we're in Syria to kick up a new Syrian War, for "regime change", and to open another front in the globalists' war on Russia.)
This new Syrian entanglement is a war without an enemy or a point. The question had been settled by Trump diplomatically, with the scantiest of deployments and not a shot fired -- Trump who is the only commander-in-chief in 40 years to not launch a new war. The object of American intervention in Syria as it was claimed to be at the time of Trump's withdrawal from Syria, is that the United States Armed Forces occupy the middle of some territorial dispute between the Turks our allies and the Kurds our friends: tell me who I'm supposed to shoot at. There is no threat in this to the United States, no fear of terrorism or nuclear proliferation or Islamist fascism, and not even is there a shooting war to pacify, making it maybe the most pointless military effort in memory. Not to mention, America just now is in the middle of a civilizational collapse and losing a cold war against China -- China which has only just deliberately demolished 188 countries and come out the other end with scarcely a cross word against them.
And it gets worse. Also among those first orders of business for Biden was re-cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta; there's tens of thousands of jobs wiped, direct and indirect, and the United States left to import instead from Russia and Venezuela. A moratorium on leases and permits for oil and gas on federal lands. Then there was the re-commitment of the United States to the Paris Climate Suicide Pact, notwithstanding that the global temperature has risen all of 0.9 of a degree Celsius in a century, that CO2 is the innocuous stuff we exhale and oxygen to the plant kingdom, and that the principal producer of CO2 in the world is exempt from the accord, namely China. So there's that much more manufacturing packed up and shipped away to China, and America that much more hobbled, for a lie. And Biden's press secretary added helpfully on Inauguration Day that the abolition of fracking is to follow, fracking being the single greatest technological advancement making for America's exporting more energy than we import for only the first time since the 1950s, under Trump.
Of course the puppeteers behind Biden's big chair in the Oval Office ordered an end to construction on the border wall, wiping another 10,000 jobs in a stroke, suspended deportations of illegal aliens, ordered the 14,000 mostly convicted-criminal illegals in federal custody released into society and in toto, and commanded that illegal aliens shall be counted in the 2020 Census, which not coincidentally has the effect of piling up Congressional seats and electoral votes for Democrats. And the promise was renewed, of a "path to citizenship" for the estimated 20-million-plus illegal aliens, with expedited voting rights inasmuch as that's the object of the exercise, packing the electorate with tens of millions of spare Democrat votes to rescue The Party from the murderous rage of the people coming for it at the next scheduled election and to reduce the republic ever after to one-party state. Lest it be doubted that they fixed the last election, they're fixing the next one while we watch, complete with a scheme to forbid Trump from standing again for president and even from holding rallies.
Biden mandated masks on federal property, and a matter of hours later broke his own darn mask law. Thereafter Biden read a speech shrugging that as it turns out, there's not a lot he can do about "COVID". Also there was an executive order on "racial equity"; I've no notion of what that means but I know well enough it's a declaration of war on whites. And among the very most pressing business for Biden, he somehow took onto himself the authority to compel school sports for girls to admit boys who claim to be girls, onto the field and into the locker room, swinging the wrecking ball of leftism now into girls' sports, in the name of "transgender rights".
No element of this Bidenian program is popular or makes the country independent or self-sufficient, or strong or safe, or rich or free. The country repudiated all this on Election Day, before the visitation late Election Night by the Vote Fairy, and even a great many of the ones who did vote Biden -- and there is such a thing as a living, legal voter who really and truly did pull the lever for Joe Biden -- never signed on for this. The Democrat skews in the polling can't rescue Biden's job approval, and he walks into the White House at sub-fifty.
The Biden inaugural was a sham and an abortion. Looking like some North Korean observation of the founding of the dynasty, and about as democratic: tens of thousands of troops and maybe a couple thousand people, with mass ranks of uniform flags where the people ought to have been. The most memorable bit of Biden's address may've been Bill Clinton's dozing off in the middle of it, then as if to enact a screenplay about a doddering old buffoon installed in power as a puppet, Biden said out loud "Salute the Marines," instead of saluting the Marines, mistaking the direction in his earpiece for dialogue.
And then the inauguration developed into a disgusting scandal and outrage: Democrats first accused the white males who constitute something on the order of 90% of the National Guard, of plotting an "insider attack" on the sham inauguration they were ordered to secure, and subjected them to three layers of investigation on suspicion of conspiracy; then it turns out the Democrats provided for no accommodation for the Guard, reducing the men to sleeping on a cafeteria floor. These would be the same Democrats who when the National Guard rescued Washington from smashing up and burning down last summer in the Black Lives Matter riots, turned Guardsmen out of their hotels. Now it turns out that 5,000 troops ordered to stay on after the inauguration for no good reason, were left by the Democrats to sleep on the floor of an unheated parking garage with one bathroom and as many electrical outlets.
"This is how Joe Biden's America treats soldiers," pronounced the source in the Guard who smuggled out the truth and accompanying photos. Trump saw the outrage and at once he opened his luxury Trump Hotel in Washington to the troops; they've forbidden Trump from tweeting to the world and from e-mailing his supporters or raising funds, and somehow they've even closed his personal bank accounts, among other "depersoning" of the Last Elected President by the unelected Establishment, but they haven't yet confiscated his properties.
And that is an accounting of but the first two and a half days in our Age of Biden. But these are democratic arguments in a post-democratic age, arguments like we might've made in the holiday-from-history Clinton '90s or in the punishing and brutalizing, bleak and grim barrenness that was the the Age of Obama, persuading the people to vote Republican in the midterms. 2020, as the advertisers say of it, changed everything: in 2020 we won the argument and won the votes, but lost the election. Already we're winning 2021; Democrats aren't winning the argument but neither are they trying. The Party in 2021 have transcended politics and persuasion: anymore they only cram it down our throats, and fix it to where we can't say peep about it.
January 16, 2021
"If you need all this to protect your inauguration from the people, maybe the f'ing people didn't f'ing elect you!"
I can't improve on those, the words of a bluecollar worker in the national capital on the weekend before the first post-democratic presidential inauguration. For the first time in 53 years the Democrat Party have discovered an application for armed force that meets with their approval: enforcing against the civilian population their seizure of total power for remaking America into Venezuela, and playing a part in the party pantomime to impress on us all that those people who dissent from The Party are dangerous and murderous "insurrectionists" and "seditionists".
25,000 National Guard complemented by hundreds of specialized regulars, plus city and Capitol police -- several times the numbers deployed today to Afghanistan and Iraq and Syria put together -- licensed to kill civilians at their discretion. A Green Zone and a Red Zone as in wartime Baghdad, military checkpoints for entry to and exit from the downtown, bridges to the capital closed, and the perimeter secured by twelve-foot razor-wired fencing. And still The Party blame "security threats" for the abortion that is their inaugural ceremonies, and the dirty FBI "vet" the patriot National Guard. The commander of the Guard for the District of Columbia subjects his men to three layers of investigation, on suspicion of plotting an "insider attack", and a senior Democrat helpfully explains that it's the white male Guardsmen who are suspect, which is to say something like nine Guardsmen in ten.
Mass censorship and mass criminalization of the political opposition are well along even before The Party assume total power formally, and the "depersoning" of the opposition already is complete. The Last Elected President is to depart the capital on the morning of Inauguration Day without attending the ceremony or meeting the successor as was the custom of the republic, when it was a republic: the outgoing president cannot concede defeat because manifestly he won a historic landslide, and he cannot congratulate or acknowledge the incoming president who can't make second in a two-man race, even in an establishment poll, for most-admired. Secession is under discussion already, and language like "civil war" is common enough. And the theme of the inauguration: "America united", as if to plop the cherry on top of the fiction, and for all the world to see.

The Sixth of January
First they censored us; then they stole our votes; thereafter they denied us our day in court; next they dismissed our thousand sworn witnesses and whistleblowers and The Law pronounced that there was "no evidence of fraud" and would be no investigation; and finally they refused us even a stay of ten days, to audit and reconsider for only the first time the most spectacularly obviously stolen election in the history of the free world.
And then when we did all that they had left to us to do, confronting our national legislature unarmed to shake awake the country and the world, at the business end of what was among the largest peaceful political demonstrations in the history of the republic, conspicuously unreported by the press, they clubbed us and gassed and maced us and shot us, preemptively and without a declaration of unlawful assembly or so much as a warning. By the end four of our number were dead* including a small, unarmed woman 14 years in the service of the United States Air Force, she having bled to death where she fell from a bullet to the neck. Within hours they declared us enemies of the state and determined to "cleanse" the country of us, "cleanse" being the prescription of a network news director. But we are the country, 84% of it.
A revolution is an uprising of the people against the powerful; 2020 was a coup d'etat, by the powerful against the people. The Sixth of January in 2021 was the completion of that coup, and time will tell if it was also the Boston Massacre for a Second Declaration of Independence.
-----
* - Four patriots rallying for Trump and the Republic dead, one known to have been shot unarmed by police; one Capitol policeman dead, not as claimed by The Party by violence with a fire extinguisher but evidently from heart failure; then two Capitol police in the days after the 6th dead by suicide, and I leave it to the reader to infer from that. That accounts for the Big Lie of the "seven dead" promulgated by The Party, who would have you imagine Trump supporters as murderers with the blood of seven against their souls, when not one died of deliberate violence by Trump's patriots, and the patriots themselves accounted for four of the five dead on the day.

The truth out of both barrels
December 16, 2020
The best of them shrugged
Now they tell us. Now they tell us, Trump was right, hydroxychloroquine is safe and effective against coronavirus, after shrieking that Trump was "killing us" with chloroquine. Now they tell us, Trump was right, we have our vaccine by the end of the year, after calling him a liar and taunting us that no power on earth could produce a working vaccine for a novel virus in a matter of months. And now they tell us, Trump was right, Biden is corrupt and compromised, after assuring us the story was "Russian disinformation".
So we can only expect that once they've pushed Trump out of power on fake votes they'll tell us, Trump was right, the election was stolen, after rolling their eyes that there was "no evidence of fraud". Once it's safe, after they can't do a blessed thing about it but talk. Maybe they'll hold hearings, maybe they'll even open investigations -- more likely investigations of the sort that run discreetly for two years before being retired without charges -- and surely they'll appear on the talking heads shows, talking about it. But when they might've done something about it, when they might have exposed the fraud and expunged it, the best of them shrugged and the worst of them lied, until not only was the election stolen but the criminals had got clean away, and in the confusion the republic was switched for a one-party state.
What Trump forgets about his last four years, in a couple hours of talking about it, would itself amount to a great presidency, but that president of whom Egypt's President al-Sisi observed, "This is a man who does the impossible," is to be pushed out into the wilderness on fake votes. And a senile, corrupt, lying old fraud with an unpopular and unworkable Billionaire Bolshevik program, is to be installed on those same fake votes in total power.
If the fraud were exposed and expunged, and Trump's rightful victory restored, the Democrats would scream murder, they'd smash up and burn down the cities -- again -- and America would be staring at something like a second civil war. But if the Republicans are robbed of their rightful victory and the republic itself abolished in the process, they only grumble a little and slump away, then "congratulate" the fraud and tell us how "proud" we all are of the "first female vice president", never mind that most of us voted for the man on the ticket. So the legal challenges are dismissed unheard, the witnesses to the fraud are censored by Big Tech, and the Big Press assure us there's "no evidence of fraud", while the clock ticks away to the ratification of that fraud and with it the abolition of the republic. Run out the clock, let the baby have his bottle, and kiss the ring: not a one of which cliches are found in the hearts of great and good men.
"The center cannot hold. ... Everywhere, the ceremony of innocence is drowned. The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity." That was Yeats on Europe between the world wars but it might just as well be America in the terminal two months of this annus horribilis assoluta of 2020. The trouble is, Yeats' observation was followed by rather a bad patch.
December 13, 2020
Clean as Pilate's hands
Dismissed unheard, dismissed unheard; more votes than voters and a thousand witnesses to the theft, but every plea to the law is dismissed unheard. They censor our speech, they steal our votes, and at last to complete the injury with insult, they deny us our day in court. And still we don't riot and loot or smash and burn or batter and kill: we're Americans and Christians, not Democrats and animals.
The witnesses are censored by Big Tech and the statistics blockaded by the Big Press, while the black robes play out the clock, ticking down the weeks and days until the fraud is formalized: the case of Donald J. Trump and the People of the United States v. the anti-democratic Democratic Party and the abolition of the republic, is hereby dismissed unheard.
Yet another shrug by the Roberts Court, yet another plea for sunlight on this stolen election, dismissed unheard. It's the way with Chief Justice Roberts, to search a case for some technicality by which to deliver to the Democrats the political victory they demand, without conceding the law, and here that technicality was standing: to shrug that Texas and those states which joined it as parties to the lawsuit hadn't the standing to bring the suit, and dismiss the case unheard. No evidence and no argument, no facts and no law, no decision and no judgment, no truth and no justice -- but no mess. The Roberts Court is kept as clean as the hands of Pontius Pilate.
Election law was rewritten in the states in question to make of the voting and counting a pig's breakfast of fraud, by officers of the state other than the state legislatures, which legislatures are invested by the United States Constitution with unitary authority to write and rewrite election law. Then to compound the unconstitutionality, the administration of the voting and counting was applied unequally, in keeping with the unequal treatment in all things circa 2020: Democrat counties and Democrat voters and Democrat votes afforded gracious accommodations denied to the unapproved classes, which the Supreme Court held in the presidential election of 20 years prior -- when the double-standard was niggling as against the sewer that is 2020 -- transgressed the Constitution's "equal protection" doctrine. So to hear the suit would have been to find for the plaintiff, and that would've been frightfully messy, displeasing every person of power and influence from New York to Beijing, whose black little hearts are set so on a "Biden presidency".
The state legislatures in five of the six states corrupted by big-city Democrat machines are Republican, the state legislatures are invested by the Constitution with authority on remedies for corruption in elections, and those five legislatures may yet act to put right what's gone wrong, but they hadn't the fortitude to act and were wanting a prod from the Supreme Court, and instead the high court has signalled the stand-down. Weak as water, weak as water, in the words of Mrs. Slocombe.
It is now not a preposterous proposition, that within these next months and years we may be witness to the fall of America as the last godly power on earth and as a country even recognizable as America. The Democrat Party have got away with stealing a national election, sheltered even by certain weak-sister Republicans despite that the Democrat votes are statistical impossibilities -- 174,384 votes in Michigan alone that don't tally with the voter rolls -- and we can only expect that they'll move now to institutionalize the fraud in American elections as well as to pack the electorate with tens of millions of spare Democrat voters from the Third World. And if Trump is pushed out on fake votes for at least four years then there'll be no leader left to stand against China: China this year has wrecked 188 countries with impunity, and come out the other end the stronger for it; in four years of "China" Joe Biden, China might easily be master of the world.
The thing now is to pray and to fight. To hold the line in the Senate -- and if the Democrats can't cheat then they can't win those two runoffs for Senate in Georgia January 5 -- followed by a rearguard campaign against this coup d'etat, lawful obstruction -- legislative and judicial -- at every turn, and the light of righteous truth, showing Biden for the corrupt, senile old fraud he is and showing the Democrats for what in 2020 they've become, the party of political violence and partisan censorship and election fraud: vicious and violent, anti-democratic and un-constitutional, and un-American.

Shadows of things that may be
They tell me it's Thanksgiving. And of course the day after Thanksgiving is the unofficial first day of Christmas. Well, the second-best-known Christmas story -- not to say there's any great Christmas feeling in me just now -- proposes that visions may be "the shadows of the things that will be, or...shadows of the things that may be, only," and hopes for those things that may be. And in that spirit I pray God that my visions of late are shadows only of what may be.
It's not science but it's political science: Trump won, and he won big or else the fraud wouldn't be so spectacularly obvious, with more votes than there are voters in swing-state dirty-Democrat big cities. For proof positive I can't improve on this, that the state of Pennsylvania issued 1.8 million absentee ballots, but counted 2.5 million. It's a fix.
Trump swept handily the principal perennial swing states of Ohio and Florida which decide every other presidential election and where the voting and counting are clean, but somehow lost; Trump carried 18 of the 19 bellwether counties which project every other election for president, but somehow lost; Trump excelled his popular vote from his electoral-vote landslide of four years prior by not less than 11 million votes, for the greatest gain by an incumbent president in the history of the republic and far and away the most votes for an incumbent, but somehow lost; Trump carried 84% of counties, a greater preponderance of the map of the United States than any losing candidate for president, but somehow lost; Trump won a greater share of nonwhites than any Republican for president since 1960, doubling his black vote after being damned daily for four years as "racist", but somehow lost; and Trump carried great gains for Republicans in Congress and the state legislatures, 27 toss-ups for House out of 27, in defiance of the junk polls and clueless "experts", but we're meant to believe the man at the top of the ticket who carried those down-ballot Republicans on his coattails, somehow lost his re-election.
There is no accounting for those and any number of further irregularities and anomalies and impossibilities, save for Democrat Party election fraud.
It was a refrain with me these four years, that everything and everyone are against Trump but the people, but in America the people are enough; what I hadn't reckoned on is that the people aren't enough if the votes of those people are washed out in a fetid ocean of Democrat fraud.
They say this election is stolen and manifestly it is that, but it's worse, it's the latest and maybe the last of many phases in a four-year, unremitting coup d'etat, the Russia hoax and the impeachment-without-a-crime and the other, lesser entries in the day-and-night campaign to overturn Trump's election and now also to veto his re-election with fake votes by the millions. But more even than that, this stolen election is the abolition of the republic: the anti-democratic Democratic Party have fixed it to where they can't lose; when they're repudiated by the people in a great reckoning, they walk away claiming a great victory. In the space of one election cycle they've reduced the United States to Venezuela, reduced the Great Republic to a one-party state. They've done to America as Hugo Chavez did to Venezuela, and complete with his "Smartmatic" system.
Elected office was all we had left: unelected power and influence are monopolized like never before since modernity, by the Left. Big Tech and the Big Press, the culture (or rather the debased counterculture which supplanted American culture half a century past), Big Business, the bureaucracies including especially the Deep State, institutional education, etc., etc. -- generally the institutions and the establishment and the elite in America, 2020, are doctrinaire leftists and partisan Democrats using and abusing their power and influence day and night to promote Democrats and destroy Republicans.
And for the Left in America, 2020 there is no God and no law and thus there is no restraint. The Left are post-Christian, and disdain as fairytales that there is a God, a Heaven and Hell, a cosmic right and wrong and an eternal reward and punishment. The great monsters of history are un-Christian or pre-Christian or post-Christian. And today also the Left are untouchable to law enforcement: a Democrat administration spying on and conspiring against a Republican presidential campaign, or a looter and rioter and arsonist whose crimes are in support of a national Democrat political campaign -- for Democrats in America, 2020, there is no law. And so we play Marquis of Queensbury because we're Christians and patriots, while they get away with murder. In this black month of November, 2020 the Democrat Party dumps millions of illegal ballots onto a national election, to claim total power and enact a Bolshevik revolution they never let on about in the campaign, and why wouldn't they, when for them there is no God and no law?
Even in easier times I don't know which way to turn except to appeal to history, but there's no very obvious antecedent for 2020, not in four centuries of American civilization. In former times we'd be girding by now for civil war; I don't expect a second civil war, but for the first time since 1865 a second American civil war is not a preposterous proposition.
There is a silent majority: they endure the abuse that's heaped on their heads daily by the elite, and they keep their heads down and their mouths shut; they observe their laws and pay their taxes and mind their manners -- but they vote. The one power left to the silent majority, until sometime after Election Day 2020, was the vote. So what are the silent majority to do, when that one power left to them, is stolen from them?
November 24, 2020
The once and future president
I write this on November 24 in the lengthening shadows of Democrat judges dismissing unheard Trump's legal challenges to the spectacular fraud in Biden's marginal and fictional victories across six states, any three of which would flip the election: the cases go unpresented, discovery unordered, fact and law undecided, and above all the audits of those mountains of fraudulent votes go uncalled, all while the clock ticks away to December 14 and the meeting of the electoral college. But if Trump is pushed out on fraudulent votes in January then I take for granted that in two years he'll again declare formally his candidacy for president, that the Grand Old Party which he rebuilt and which he owns will again nominate him, and practically by acclaim, and that Trump will as Laura Ingraham has observed in not so many words, tower over the feeble old fraud occupying Trump's rightful place in the Oval Office, Trump as not only a president-in-waiting but a champion and hero, savior and martyr to The Forgotten Man, and a Rushmorean colossus, casting a long shadow over and dwarfing the pretender to the presidency.
In that event Trump may in those two years before he campaigns again for president, campaign for cleaning up the dirty Democrats' comprehensive corruption of our elections, indicting and hounding those rotten, thieving machine-Democrats in the six states that stole his election and getting up campaigns against them. Trump may well determine the Republican primaries for the 2022 midterms starting in not much more than a year, and months later campaign for Republicans in the general elections which on the level of House districts are not so easily rigged by the dirty, anti-democratic Democratic Party. It may even be that Trump sets himself up as something of a shadow president, a true and rightful once and future president, daily dashing Biden's brains. It's not inconceivable that Trump who is after all a multi-billionaire businessman and master of mass media, might in those years found an alternative media empire to break the Big Media monopoly. And on his way out the door Trump must set in motion an independent investigation of this stolen election, of the sort that can't be conveniently retired.
I take for granted that a Biden presidency would be four years of pain; Biden has promised America a "dark winter", which may be read as a metaphor for his would-be presidency beyond its grim gray January and February: at home punishing economics, a fusion of big government and big business, lording over the law-abiding but lawlessness in immigration and criminal justice, "woke" hectoring and political and cultural persecution, etc., etc., while abroad Biden brings a glorious summer for Xi and Kim and Putin, the Ayatollah and the international jihad, as in the eight years of Obama-Biden before the advent of Trump and America First. That the Biden program is anti-populist and unpopular was confirmed by the Biden campaign's not letting on what he'd do as president: Naomi Wolf -- feminist leftist, partisan Democrat, and elite's elite -- wrote on Biden's approach to coronavirus that had she known what Biden would do as president she never would've voted for him, and one suspects she's not alone.
Joe Biden is a rumor of a man filling out a narrow-shouldered bespoke business suit at the top of the Democrat ticket, who says nothing and does nothing but what is scripted and stage-managed for him. Biden always was a buffoon; anymore he's a senile buffoon. Biden is as feeble and frail as his arthritic toddling. By dollar value at least Biden was far and away the most corrupt vice president in the history of the republic, his policy for sale to any crooked character from Beijing to Burisma, and the truth of his corruption will not be denied by Big Tech censorship and Big Press blockades. Biden's program is the Bolshevik Revolution of Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez which had been repudiated in the very Democrat presidential primary. Biden's campaign was a lie and his program is anathema to the people. Biden can't command the respect of his party or the love of his voters. Biden concedes that he's unfit to complete two terms, and more Americans than not aren't confident he'd make it even so far as four years. And that Biden's fictional victory has been won for him by big-city Democrat-machine ballot-box-stuffing grows more spectacularly obvious by the day, washing out the will of the people in a fetid ocean of Democrat fraud.
As I come to the end of this writing the news comes over the transom that for only the first time in these three weeks since Election Day, the Trump campaign will be permitted to put its case of a stolen election to a court, that court being a state court in Nevada. Also the Trump campaign has announced public hearings on the corruption of the election before the state legislatures in three more of the six states in question, the state legislatures being invested by the Constitution with sole and unitary authority over elections, and five of those six states having elected Republican legislatures, because the dirty Democrat big cities can't rig the elections in all those little legislative districts. It may of course be that it's too little, too late, the clock is ticking and the fix is in, but it must be said, at the risk of mingling my metaphors: they never have beaten Trump yet, not after nine innings. We may be into the ninth inning by now, but the ballgame has a few plays left in it, and Trump's not one to go down with the bat on his shoulder.
And by way of a postscript, this is highly speculative, but assuming Trump is pushed out on fraud and mounts his return, I'd prefer for his vice president to see Senators Tom Cotton or Josh Hawley. I esteem Vice President Pence and adore him, he's a fine veep and a fine man, a vice president and governor and Congressman and Congressional leader, and a good Christian and great American; but what Mike Pence is not is a force of nature, where Hawley and Cotton are forceful, intellectual young Trumpians with the fire in the belly, who might be expected to fight harder and fare better in the election of '28. I'd be perfectly contented with Pence for veep in Trump Mk II, but I'd sooner we set ourselves up for another presidency with a young lion.

Winning the election after the election
Addendum, November 11: It’s as Mark Steyn concluded, the United States general election of 2020 is the greatest electoral heist since the advent of democracy. And as of November 11 the scale and weight of the theft are crashing over the press blockade. It was some days before Trump and his captains found their feet and assembled the first tranches of evidence that the election was heisted, but a week after the day, the case is coming together, and the Trump campaign are demanding not recounts but audits: throw open the ballots, all of ’em, examine them, compare them against the voter rolls, and expunge the fraud.
Biden’s margins in half a dozen swing states are tenths of a percent, the fraud in those states dwarfs the margins, any three of those states would flip the election, and every fraudulent vote is a vote for Joe Biden. In the swing-state dirty-Democrat big cities which Biden owes for his unofficial and fictional victory, voter turnout runs as high as an impossible 90%, as compared against 50-60% elsewhere -- i.e., there are more votes for Biden than there are voters. It's a fix.
The thing now is to pray for Trump and his lawyers and at least as much for the Republican officers and volunteers and the witnesses and whistleblowers in the half-dozen states in question, that they have the head and the heart, the will and the wherewithal to expose the fraud and expunge it. Keep the powder dry and keep the faith; Trump is in the White House and he means to get comfortable there.
Trump won and he knows it. He knows too what he's up against, but they never have beaten him yet, not after nine innings, and he's halfway there already: he took on all comers and won the people for the presidency. Now if he can smash the rotten system that stole his victory, he'll be a two-term president as big as Mount Rushmore, and the republic will stand. God bless Donald Trump and God save the Republic.
Addendum, November 8: Before the coming of coronavirus, some jurisdiction in New Jersey went over to voting by mail, and in one election there the ballots were opened and examined, whereupon it was concluded officially that forged, fraudulent ballots amounted to 10% of the vote. Then came coronavirus, which was taken by Democrats as license to do as they'd wished to do anyhow and institute voting by mail, in states enough to decide the election for president. And now that the Democrats and the press (but I repeat myself) have declared the election for Biden -- unofficially, marginally, and after four days of counting -- if the dodgy ballots are opened and discovered to be fraudulent in numbers sufficient to overturn the unofficial, fictional declared result, we'll be looking at civil war: the cry would be that Trump is a "tyrant", abolishing democracy, when of course he'd be insisting on faithful democracy over election fraud. They've fixed it to where if we win the election, we lose the country. Still, the country that voted Trump know they voted Trump, and they won't be told by Wolf Blitzer or Chris Wallace that they wanted Joe Biden for their president.

Something is rotten in the state of Pennsylvania, and in Michigan and Wisconsin and Nevada and Georgia, if not also Arizona. They're winning the election after the election, as they had planned and we had feared. It does not stand to the reason of political science that President Trump should lose his re-election, in consideration of the following:
-Trump excelled his popular vote from his electoral-vote landslide of four years prior by something on the order of 10 million votes, for the greatest gain by an incumbent president in the history of the republic and far and away the most votes for an incumbent
-Trump swept handily the principal perennial swing states which decide every other presidential election, namely kingmaker Ohio and third-most-populous Florida -- where the voting and counting are clean
-Trump carried 18 of the 19 bellwether counties which project every other election for president
-Trump carried 84% of counties, and no candidate for president has yet lost his election, who won so great a preponderance of the map of the United States
-Trump won a greater share of nonwhites than any Republican for president since 1960, doubling his black vote after being damned daily for four years as "racist"
-On his coattails Trump's Republican Party carried 27 of 27 toss-up races for U.S. House, dropping not a solitary incumbent, and coming within something like 21,000 votes out of 150,000,000 of knocking Pelosi off her perch after just two years
-On his coattails Trump's Republicans held the Senate despite drawing the lion's share of the defending contests in the cycle, and against a nationalized Democrat campaign prepared to throw $108 million at one little old seat (see January addendum below)
-And the president's party flipped three state legislatures, with not a Republican legislature lost
The incumbent Republican president who manages all that, wins his re-election. It's not science, but it's political science. So how is it that several days after the vote we are assured confidently that this incumbent Republican president has effectively lost his re-election? Surely if Joe Biden had rightfully won the presidency then he'd have swept Ohio and Florida and carried the bellwethers, he'd not have surrendered his party's overwhelming advantage since the '60s among nonwhites, he'd have carried along with him a Democrat Senate and a majority in the House at least as big as the one he started with, and he'd not have dropped state legislatures. And so it only follows that suspicion should fall on the corrupt Democrat big cities in the critical states which is where Biden has run up his marginal, fictional lead, after Election Night and over charges of fraud which already have mounted into a mountain.
But in the worst case wherein Trump loses the election after the election, eked out by big-city Democrat corruption, and on the strength of Big Tech censorship and Big Press blockades, Deep State conspiracy and sabotage, and more generally the unremitting labors for half a decade of practically every living elite, every man and woman with power and influence, using and abusing that power and influence day and night to destroy Trump utterly and to drag Joe Biden's decrepit carcass over the finish line like some ghastly enacting of Weekend at Bernie's -- if after all that Trump is finally eked out by election fraud in the dirty Democrat big cities, then surely they'll not have seen the last of him. He shall return.
Trump is eligible for two terms as president and they need not be consecutive terms; he wouldn't be the first president to serve nonconsecutive terms. And Trump alone has founded a mass movement and built the Grand Old Party up and out, and it's on his coattails that Republicans overperformed down-ballot. Trump owns the people of the Republican Party, even if the party muckety-mucks hate his ever-living guts, and if Trump declares again for Republican nominee for president then the man hasn't been born who can stand against him.
And Joe Biden always was a buffoon -- his vote on the bin Laden raid was "No" -- and now he's a senile buffoon, dumb and feeble, pristinely without principles -- he's been on both sides of every issue over his half-century in national politics -- by dollar value at least he's the most corrupt vice president in the history of the republic, his policy was for sale including to the Beijing regime and he's compromised with China and lesser bad actors, and what is worse, Biden sits now at the top of a Billionaire Bolshevik program, unworkable as policy and unwinnable as politics: as president and commander-in-chief Joe Biden would be a wreck.
And anyhow Biden is pledged to stand down if elected after four years, not to say Democrats ever are held to their promises. So if Trump is pushed out then he'll be breathing down Biden's neck from Day One, and a couple years thereafter Trump may well declare his candidacy for president. And I'd venture one further: president or ex-president, in the 2022 midterms Trump may well get up a campaign against Democrats at the state level, to clean up the corruption in our elections: "Kick out the rotten, anti-democratic Democrats who steal your votes."
I pray for President Trump and his captains and foot soldiers and for the Republican officers and volunteers in the swing states, and above all I pray for truth and justice: every corruption exposed and expunged.

Addendum, January 2021: For some time after Election Night the country and the world took for granted a Republican Senate, but as ever the counting continued until the Democrats got their way, and Georgia's highly unusual twin elections for U. S. Senate were kicked to runoffs on January 5. If the Democrats picked off both Republican incumbents, and if their stolen election for president were upheld, then they'd seize total power to remake America into Venezuela in just the first months of 2021, with the barest majority possible in the U.S Senate of 50-50 with the tiebreaker to the vice president.
Georgia's elections in November had been easily the crookedest in the country, with more varieties of fraud than in any other single state, but extraordinarily not a solitary reform was enacted before the elections in January. And it was a good deal worse than that: when on New Year's Eve, for instance, a state Senate subcommittee by unanimous vote at last ordered an audit of the Democrat dummy ballots in Fulton County -- i.e., the dirty Democrat big city of Atlanta -- the ballots in question were hauled away in rental vans and literally shredded, within hours of the order and before the order could be executed. Then when Homeland Security seized the shredded ballots, the FBI re-seized them, and re-shredded them. Because America now is Venezuela.
And so it was with a sickness in our stomachs that patriots watched Election Day and Election Night, and the morning after, when the November heist was reprised note-for-note, complete with the inexplicable and impossible deductions of large, round figures from the televised vote tallies for the Republican, and with even the banishment of Republican poll-watchers from the counting in Fulton County. When the Republican Defense Committee secured an emergency order from the nearest superior court judge, commanding the dirty Democrat county to honor the law and assure a clean count by permitting observation by the accredited partisan poll-watchers, the decree was disregarded, and there's an end to it.
Then Michigan is one of those six to ten states claimed for Biden but won rightfully by Trump, and in Michigan the Republican for Senate polled ahead of Trump, presumably because he's a black Detroiter and appealed to some number of black Detroiters who wouldn't also pull the lever for Trump. But Senate elections are statewide elections, as are elections for president, and the Republican for Senate was washed away with Trump on the ocean of Democrat fraud. Making at least three stolen Senate seats and making all the difference, between power and total power.
