In 1976, Ronald Reagan lost a tough nomination battle to then sitting President Gerald Ford. It looked like Reagan was finished. He was already 65. The consensus opinion was that he’d be too old to try again by the time 1980 rolled around.But Reagan knew the truth: fate isn’t fashioned by consensus. According to historian Lee Edwards of the Heritage Foundation, he wrote to a supporter: “Going on with what God has given us, confident there is a destiny, somehow seems to bring a reward we wouldn’t exchange for any other.”And famously, when he spoke to his disappointed staff, he quoted an old Scottish ballad

If we don't do something about higher education then we're just whistling past the graveyard. Our youth are being taught to accept malfeasance on the part of the Progressive left because it's 'for the better good'. Our selfish, individual rights must take a back seat to the needs of the majority. Until intelligent, conservative, and Constitution loving voices are allowed back on campus we're fighting a losing cause.

Elegant testimony by one of the 300. The question is "If Trump loses, who will reform the election system?"
Even if Trump makes good on his pronouncement that he'll be back in 2024, could he overcome the fraud? Biden is lining up Big Tech as bastions of his administration, and Washington is awash in their (and China's) lucre. The atmosphere will be controlled and the system rigged. We've been fools to avoid laughing in the face at people who claim that voter ID is racist, or that mail-in ballots are essential to "Stop the spread!" We insisted that people in 'primitive' cultures insure voting integrity by dipping their finger in dye while maintaining that we're way too sophisticated and honest to force the same measures on our own people, ignoring the universality of human nature.
No, Trump must win!

The real challenge goes well beyond cleaning up our electoral process. We have to salvage the education system which currently breeds untold numbers of corrupt politicians, entertainers, educators, journalists and deep staters. Integrity is lost. And so is the country. Have we just gone past the point of no return? We'll know in a few weeks.

I love Drew Klavan almost as much as I love the Donald, but I'm about to ''warsh his mouth out'' about all that gloom and doom. Over on the Daily Wire Island of Sanity, I spend a lot of nights listening to wit and wisdom of all the dear DW columnists and their podcasts. Klavan, just bring the wife and kids over and lets chat about the key of David. I'm about to bring your happy level up where it needs to be.

In a Presidential election the incumbent President has the 'home field advantage'. A reasonably successful President is expected to win reelection, based on historical precedent. By any measure Trump has been quite successful: no new wars, a strong economy in spite of the so called pandemic, strong gains for minorities, excellent peace measures in the Middle East (Nobel Prize worthy), finally facing up to an increasingly belligerent China, and a passionate electoral base at home. If the collectivist left/Democrats have the Presidential election process rigged well enough to force out a successful, sitting President, what makes anyone think that same person could win the election as a challenger, especially a challenger against a sitting Democrat? And doubly especially after the electoral base has had four more years of university educated collectivists added to it? I'm sorry to say this but it ain't happenin'. Unless something changes I'm afraid the collectivists finally have this in the bag. Say goodbye to the Constitution.

I wish I could be as optimistic as Andrew. I can't.

Obama put the clamps on the economy with increased taxes and regulations, and the economy stalled, for 8 years. Trump reversed that and the economy soared, creating jobs, wage increases for all and healthy retirement plans. Now Biden would reverse Trumps accomplishments and we will go back to the awful Obama years. Is that too had to see? But the dems, the left media, big tech, deep state, academia and Hollywood actually want that...for every one. Boggles the mind.
