By Ray Cardello for December 28, 2024, Season 30 / Post 42

When I was compiling my thoughts for today’s article, I remembered the famous line Ronald Reagan used when debating Walter Mondale years ago. It was one of the funniest lines ever uttered by a politician. He declared that he would not make the race between him and Mondale about age; after all, it was not Mondale’s fault he was so young and inexperienced. Even Mondale had to laugh at the beautifully delivered jab. That is how I felt today when I listened to David Carlucci as he appeared on FOX NEWS. Carlucci was the youngest person ever elected to Congress in 2010 at 29. He has not matured yet. I think they only have Carlucci on when nobody else is available.

The discussion was about Trump’s plans for his first day and Biden’s actions in his final days to prevent Trump from taking action on the border or economy. The Democrats still hold onto the idea that Biden’s actions are good for America even though the people said otherwise by giving Harris and Biden a beating in November. The Left will not acknowledge a mandate because the popular vote was relatively close, and it was, but here are the facts to prove them wrong. Trump won the Popular Vote, the first time a Republican has done that since George Bush. Trump trounced Harris in the Electoral College, winning 312 to 226, and most importantly, Trump won all seven key swing states. It was a beating and a mandate. Joe Biden also has a 34% approval rating, which is the worst for an outgoing president. There is no desire for any of Joe Biden’s policies.

One of Carlucci’s claims was that America wants more of Joe Biden before he leaves. Not even Biden believes that. But he went on. He claimed that Biden was busy working for the American people while Trump was just tweeting whatever thought hit his head. The truth is, and we touched on it yesterday, that Biden has never worked for anyone but the Biden Family since he was sworn in. Biden has not been our president, and the country has been run by Biden’s underlings. He may be signing the orders, but they are not his thoughts. Trump has had one of the most active post-election periods ever and has actually been the defacto Commander in Chief in Biden’s absence. Carlucci would not stop. He had used all the old material, and nothing stuck, so he went to the new line of all Dems and media; Trump and Elon Musk are co-presidents. It’s such a lame line.

First, Musk is a lifelong Democrat who aligned with Trump because he saw his vision of America as compatible with Trump’s. He has volunteered to work with Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy to trim the excess out of the Federal government. Any president should be thrilled to have two brilliant patriots like Elon and Vivek on their team. Anyone who has any knowledge of Trump and his ego knows that nobody will threaten him for the top spot. Ahh, Carlucci is so young and has so much to learn. Today was a good lesson for him, should he see how a FOX holiday fill-in took him down. That is no knock on Julie Banderas. She was humble in victory.

Until the Democrats are either charged and convicted for the coup they pulled on America or publicly confess as a group, they cannot draw any comparisons or criticize the behavior of Donald J. Trump, who is the most potent singular force in American politics in our lifetime. Trump will be successful in his second term and is gearing up for the most active first day in modern history. His first 100 days will be amazing to watch as he and his team of exceptional talent work to correct the damage inflicted by Biden/Harris. David Carlucci would be well served to take a seat and take good notes. He has so much to learn.
