The triumph of Donald Trump is not the time for us to spike the ball. Our votes for Trump were a condemnation of a Leftist, WOKE country that has been evolving for the last 50 to 75 years. The Left was successful in first indoctrinating academia, then went to work creating a country full of young people who hated America and were anxious for us to become a socialist version of our origin. Trump’s four-year term, or even eight years of a President Vance to follow, will not be enough to complete the transition back to the middle and normalcy. It will take many consecutive Conservative terms to reverse the radical indoctrination and undo the damage that has been done

Our task is to break down the ideology and egos and produce results. Let’s start with the end. We need to get into colleges and middle schools. This is a two-headed monster: the students are the easy part, and the system is the challenge. Between the feckless Department of Education (thank you, Jimmy Carter) and the teachers’ union, we have a tough nut to crack. This is where Elon Musk may come into play. Most of the country will cheer the end of the Federal grip on a failing education system. If we can finally reverse the trend on falling test scores, we may be able to convince some our way is better. Egos are tough. Egos prevent people from changing their minds and seeing things from a different angle. The liberals will dig in their heels, and most will be immovable. The ideology is the most difficult obstacle. These people have lived their beliefs, and a complex system has fortified them. This will take time, lots of time.

Legacy media has committed suicide. They went all in on Kamala Harris and did everything in their power to disparage Trump and his supporters. In unison, they exercised a display of synchronized lying. Now that their worst nightmare has come true, they have lost all credibility and influence. Their credibility has been gone for some time. The fact that not even liberals will buy what they are selling has destroyed their plan. Heads will have to roll. The numbers are in for election night, and FOX News blew away every other option. Fox had 13 million viewers, while no other outlet exceeded 5.5 million.

The mid-terms have to be a priority. It looks like we have a clean sweep of all three executive and legislative branches, and we have to hold them in 2026. Should the Democrats regain the house, it will not only slow the process, but injects the impeachment factor, and you know they are licking their chops to start impeaching Trump, again. Don’t worry about charges, Swalwell, Raskin and Schiff are already putting together charges. Schiff is drooling to get back on the Sunday talk shows.

Trump has hit the ground running, and his staff is taking shape. He is putting together a Dream Team of loyalists who can think. Problems will be solved quickly, and the first six months should be a frenzy. Trump has said he will fix everything Biden/Harris broke. The to-do list is long.
