Of Course Trump Won Iowa

Dov Fisher speaks his mind:

There has been only one truly great country in the entire world these past 150 years, the United States of America. 

[. . .]

America’s great secret always was equal opportunity. It remained a step behind its fullest potential as long as it denied equal opportunity to some of her citizens: Italians, Irish, Germans, Asians, Jews, Hispanics, Blacks. But America got past it. By the 1980s, equal opportunity went without saying anymore. That is how Obama got into Columbia with whatever grades he had. That is how he got into Harvard Law with whatever grades he did or did not have. That is how he got to be the president of Harvard Law Review without ever publishing a law review article, something all but unheard of. He became a law professor, building on a resumé that was sketchy. Blacks in America had all the opportunity in the world by the 1980s.

Obama changed America to focus on equal outcomes. Not opportunity that entails great risk but offers enormous reward, but outcomes that guarantee mediocrity for everyone. The Brave New World of Equal Outcomes applies everywhere except in areas where Blacks excel, like professional basketball and football. Notice that there is no affirmative action or DEI or equal outcomes in NBA basketball. Why not? If there is DEI in medicine and medical school, where lives are at stake, in law firms and in Disney, in Hollywood and on Broadway — why not in the NBA? Why not open the NBA to more Orthodox Jews? There is not a single one, although there is one who is competitive. Why not more Irish? More Germans? More Italians? More Plain Whites? If Whites are 76 percent of America, why isn’t the NBA 76 percent White? The NFL?

Obama destroyed America.

So I come to Trump. There is absolutely no one else on the horizon strong enough to — maybe — get things turned around and Make America Great Again. Trump #47 will be better than Trump 45 because he has been there, done that. He won’t lose two years with an attorney general more suited to antebellum America when a gentleman from Dixie could rise with elegance and meander. He won’t be fooled by the next Paul Ryan. Last time, he talked about draining the Swamp but had no idea how deep the Swamp was. None of us did. He knew the FBI was polluted, but no one knew how corrupt it is. The most patriotic of us always emphasized that we are condemning only James Comey and the Top Crooks, but not the brave and loyal men and women in the FBI ranks. Now we recognize that we honestly don’t know who in the FBI is on America’s side and who are the Swamp. Trump is the only candidate out there with experience as to how bad it is and with a personal stake in cleaning it up this time. If he does not, he will spend the rest of his life after his next term fighting indictments.

Trump knows he can get indicted every day somewhere else, while Hunter Biden walks on air, walks on water, and — bottom line — walks. Lock up Hillary? (Lock Her Up! Lock Her Up!) Heck, we can’t even lock up Hunter. Instead, that crook shame-facedly sells “paintings.” What genius crookery! Instead of taking bribes and pay-offs, sell paintings. Buy a pack of crayons: 32 in a box if charging under a million per painting, 64 in a box for more sophisticated renderings of Felix the Cat and a square — and sell for millions.

America so desperately needs to return to the pre-COVID Trump days: gasoline at $2.50 a gallon, food prices reasonable, almost no unemployment, booming economy, lowest unemployment numbers ever for Blacks and Hispanics, no foreign wars, demonstrable action on closing down the border and building the long-promised wall. He had the foresight to try keeping out immigrants from hate-America Arab and Muslim dirt holes. He had the insight on advancing normal education and supporting Israel and pro-America Arab Muslim regimes. He had Putin’s number, and we had no trouble with Pootie for four years: no wars, no invasions. No need for a big bright red “Reset” button. Just some quiet talk in the back rooms. He had the North Korea Doughboy’s number. He got the cheap, stingy, penny-pinching Europeans to pay up to NATO. He got death-grip sanctions in place against Iran.

What fair-minded American, without a personal political stake in this, would not want to return to those days? Remember how he obliterated Qasem Soleimani, leaving behind only a ring finger for a souvenir? Remember how he rubbed out Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi? Dead as a doorknob. Remember how he obliterated ISIS?

Can you imagine how quickly he would have pulverized the Houthis into Tutti-Fruitis if they shot missiles at our ships? If they dared under a Trump presidency — as if they even would. Instead, we got Biden with that disgraceful Afghanistan retreat, and allowing the Houthis to grow in power and actually close down Red Sea shipping. This is crazy: the freaking Houthis? They close down world shipping? We can’t stop them? We need an international “force” of wimps and wusses to stand with us to show how, all together, they cannot stop the Houthis? So we spend millions per anti-ballistic rocket to shoot down one of their $100 drones? Again and again, dozens and scores of million of dollars to knock down some drones they could have assembled from parts purchased at a Target or Walmart? How about a better idea: bomb all of Yemen into rubble.

Oh, I miss Trump. Indict him a dozen times, a hundred times, a thousand times. Convict him a hundred times. He cannot be put into a hundred prisons. There is only one of him. He will appeal. In the meantime, he either will be elected president or not. If he is, he will pardon himself, and the wheels will begin turning to lock up one Biden after another, starting with Michelangelo Van Gogh Crayola Biden and ending with The Big Guy. And if he loses, he will not be the only one sentenced. This entire country will be facing the death sentence.

I am with Trump, one hundred percent. I have “Nazi Radar” because I am a Jew who has no agenda, left or right, when it comes to antisemites. This man is a good man. G-d knows he could conduct himself in much more elegant ways, but he is a good man. He talks plain because real people talk plain, and he is real people. He refers to certain people as vermin because, by golly, they are. He wants to keep bad people from bad places out of our country.

Of course Trump won Iowa.
