It’s obvious to me that during the four-year hiatus from the White House occasioned by a stolen election, President Trump gave thoughtful consideration to what had to be cleaned up domestically and internationally. It’s equally clear that he mapped out how he planned to do that, and despite media, congressional and judicial intransigence, he plowed ahead. We are at a point now where the blueprint is now obvious, It’s a continuing, ascending trajectory. Having hoisted Maduro out of Caracas to stand trial here for his crimes, the U.S. made it perfectly obvious that Russian and Chinese security personnel and military equipment were no match for a determined U.S. military.

A powerhouse article.
While the 2020 election was a debacle, the Left shot itself in the head through their actions. An immediate second term by Trump would never have had the trajectory that his current term has had. He had 4 years to review the Left's actions and build powerful, effective strategies to blow them out of the water. Meanwhile, we had 4 years of Bidet to prove that the Left was incompetent and evil. Beyond that, Trump envisioned a globally resurgent United States and a path to make it happen.
Now, everywhere, the forces of opposition to the US are in retreat and have already been diminished to bit players on the world stage. Some of them are trying to strut around like they have other options, but it is shear bravado without any basis. Think about a world where the evils of Venezuela, Iran (and Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis), Cuba have all been defanged and declawed. Think of a world where the feckless and corrupt UN is become inert. Think of a US where law and decency are ascending.
THANK YOU President Trump, for leading a war for American Freedom from the evil forces of the world, not unlike the war of Independence Declared 250 years ago.

The Armed Forces were always there. What was missing was the political will and resolute leadership. We have that now.

Excellent piece by Clarice. She pulls it together with her last sentence -
FTA - "Trump is the ultimate builder, and those titans who accompanied him to Beijing are the people who built Silicon Valley, the AI labs, the startups that make prosperity and peace more possible for more people, not the Europeans who conjured up every bad idea in recent centuries."
This in a nutshell is why the dims, the left, the msm, and the globalists all want President Trump gone. They want the exact opposite - despair, violence, and misery for all.

Clarice's article is eye-opening, and she deserves praise for compiling and writing it. Her article is revelatory in part because she highlights and quotes from Jeff Childers's outstanding insights found in his recent article which can be found at https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/revealing-mysteries-saturday-may. It truly is worth a read.

I agree that this is a powerful column - - but it really doesn't matter - - because in three years the entire human race will be wiped out by catastrophic man-made climate change.
I'd make a big bet on that - - but what's the use? We're all doomed.

Seconding what #5 said about the Coffee and Covid blog. Mr. Childers posts every day and is well worth reading.

Officer (?) Fanone needs to be drummed out of service, lose all his retirement benefits and spend some time in prison. As a supposed LEO, he's a disgrace to any uniform. All the people that he hurt by his testimony should be allowed to sue him and the Capitol Police for everything they can get!

Great article.
FTA:
And just as the 2020 election legerdemain becomes apparent, the evidence that J6 was a setup, involving Nancy Pelosi, the FBI, the D.C. police department, and the media, is no longer being hidden. In the latest development, a judge finally unlocked the body cam worn by Officer Michael Fanone, and it substantially contradicts his sworn testimony, testimony that was used to justify imposing severe criminal penalties on mostly innocent people who walked into the Capitol (often at the invitation of Capitol police).
Much more from this paragraph needs to be highlighted and exposed so those who seem to have simply believed Nancy and the Democrats will realize they were duped, lied to and gaslighted.
Sure sounds like a conspiracy.

So, we can actually blame three French authors for creating the (billshirt) basis for wokism. What a black mark on the whole of French culture.
