Donald Trump’s Pragmatic, Successful
‘America First’ Doctrine

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 4/5/2024 8:08:27 PM

Donald Trump’s “America First” doctrine encountered stormy weather in the community of American globalists who characterize it as a mix of nationalism, unilateralism, and xenophobia. The substantive disagreements could not be more explicit: globalists see American commitments as implicitly limitless and irreversible, and Trump, driven by effectiveness, not ideology, believes the existing commitments are not eternal and are limited by resources. Therefore, we must define our national interests to shape our commitments, not allow existing commitments to define our interests. The “my country first” concept is not a new approach to international order. It originated in the 17th century with a Frenchman, Armand-Jean du Plessis, known as Cardinal de Richelieu.

I believe we can Make America Great Again. President Trump's first term proved that. True, the spoiled children have really trashed the house, but we can clean up the mess and begin again. The house still has "good bones". Under Trump's executive acuity we will be able to lay the groundwork. Here is it crucial who he selects for his vice-president; for that person will have to be same caliber of man, with leadership experience to fully implement and cement the MAGA agenda within his two terms.

Letting prior commitments shape national interests versus using national interests as a framework for shaping policy. There couldn’t be a starker difference between Trump and globalists. But what percentage of voters think at that depth? My guess is 10%.

Every national leader has the right--the obligation!---to put his own nation first. The fact that Joebama does not do that, proves he isn't fit to lead, and Balack Osama never was either.

Donald Trump has raised $50.5 million at a Florida fundraiser for his 2024 re-election campaign - the highest amount ever raised at a single event. Saturday's $250,000-a-ticket bash was held at the $110 million Palm Beach home of Trump supporter John Paulson. The enormous amount is almost double the $26 million Joe Biden's campaign recently raised at a New York City bash which boasted the added star-power of former Democrat presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. 'It's clearer than ever that we have the message, the operation, and the money to propel President Trump to victory on November,' Team Trump told AP.

President Joe Biden is using the Baltimore Bridge disaster to smuggle illegal migrants into Maryland’s politics, saying, “Six [men] lost their lives: Most were immigrants, but all were Marylanders.” There is no evidence the migrants were legal migrants — and much evidence that they were illegal migrants.Biden’s solicitous speech in Baltimore on Friday shows that his administration is doubling down on its welcome for the huge inflow of at least seven million southern migrants since 2021.

Things are bad when sports journalists and former professional athletes find ways to talk more sensibly about the country's top issues today than our leaders. Okay, I admit—the bar isn’t that high. But while Charles Barkley is a hall-of-fame NBA player, he’s seldom the voice of reason in a political debate. Also, Barkley doesn’t want to be a commentator on social issues, though he hasn’t shied away from it. He has a show with Gayle King on CNN. Put it this way: he’s more open about some political issues, but he will never be selected to moderate a presidential debate,

The city of Madison, Wisconsin, appears to have found a rather creative way to use its allotment of COVID-19 funds. The local government has reportedly been funneling the money to illegal immigrants and asylum seekers, a move that is expressly forbidden in the American Rescue Plan. Republican State Sen. Duey Stroebel sounded the alarm on the misuse of funds and is currently seeking answers from the city’s leadership. Wisconsin state Senator Duey Stroebel, R-Cederberg, sounded the alarm Thursday after learning of a decision in the state’s capital to aid migrants with pandemic relief funds.

John Paulson’s Palm Beach mansion, near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, will host a private evening fundraiser that will double the $25 million haul from Joe Biden’s March 28 event in Radio City, according to organizers.

Democrats want former President Donald Trump “confined to a courtroom” instead of on the campaign trail, but that will not be the case, Karoline Leavitt, national spokeswoman for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday. “Jack Smith is a henchman for Joe Biden and for Merrick Garland. He has made a living off of targeting Republicans throughout his entire career,” Leavitt said during her appearance on the show, noting that this case of lawfare is nothing more than another attempt by Democrats to “interfere in this election and attempt to weaken President Trump.”

The attack, if it happens, is expected to come as soon as next week.Senior US officials currently believe that an attack by Iran is “inevitable” – a view shared by their Israeli counterparts, that official said. The two governments are furiously working to get in position ahead of what is to come, as they anticipate that Iran’s attack could unfold in a number of different ways – and that both US and Israeli assets and personnel are at risk

One of the things that frustrated me about Trump’s (first?) term was his seeming complete indifference to #TheResistance that manifested before he even took office. Unelected bureaucrats working in the ridiculously invasive executive branch’s many agencies, publicly declared war on him, and he . . . well, he did nothing. Until the final year of his presidency when he seemed to finally take aim at the problem in his own branch of government–we can call it the deep state, the resistance, the entrenched bureaucrats who oversee far too much policy in America and who are, apparently, answerable to no one. Not the voter, not the president. So then-president Trump launched

I have long predicted that normalizing transgender surgeries would be followed eventually by doctors intentionally disabling patients with Body Identity Integrity Disorder (BIID). These patients obsess that their “true selves” are quadriplegic, or amputees, or blind, and they yearn to be made that way. It is a real and anguishing condition. Some are now even calling the affliction “transable” (get it?). Well, here it comes. A doctor in Quebec “treated” a BIID patient by amputating two of his healthy fingers. Otherwise, the patient was threatening to mutilate himself. From the National Post story: The fact that there were only two fingers involved in the Quebec case, as opposed to

There are probably few people who have sold their soul more in the Biden administration than National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby. He's not stupid or incoherent like some on the team. But, he so often fails to give a straight answer when asked.Kirby did an interview with Fox's Martha MacCallum on her show, "The Story." The subject essentially was the Biden team throwing Israel under the bus with the things the Biden team has said. Kirby protested, saying that they stood with Israel, but they wanted changes to dealing with civilian casualties in the wake of the accidental killing of the aid workers in an Israeli strike in Gaza.
