With the end of their convention, the Republican Party and Donald Trump have reached what in military theory is called the “culminating point.” “The culminating point of victory,” according to the Modern War Institute at West Point, “is the threshold when military advantages peak and then rapidly turn into disadvantages.”
As an infantryman, I was taught that the culminating point is a paradox; it’s a moment of maximum vulnerability at a time when you believe you are at maximum strength. Let’s say your platoon has just taken a hill. Exhausted and jubilant, you’ve achieved your objective. Your troops have sent the defeated enemy fleeing down its reverse slope. You stand triumphant atop that hill. Psychologically, you’re vulnerable to believing two things: that your victory is complete and that your enemy no longer poses a meaningful threat. The temptation then becomes to destroy the last of your enemy, to take more ground. If you do this, if you don’t recognize your culminating point, if you try to remain on the offensive too long instead of setting up a good defense, you become dangerously exposed to a counterattack by a regrouped enemy.
…To win, Democrats must regroup and counterattack.

You watch they’re gonna try to cheat and put this cackling hyena in the office but when she fails the evil RATS and the mediapukes are gonna rile up the BLM HAMAS along with the pussy hat nags etc etc…you name it to March in DC and riot against Trump. Power is a nasty drug! Our nation is in a world of hurt and if I was China that would be a perfect time to invade Taiwan. If I was Russia that would be a perfect time to invade Ukraine. Iran Afghanistan and all the Middle East nations this would be the perfect time to go full force against Israel . The demon worshipers in DC are licking their chops to get an opportunity to destroy this nation in half. Again evil never sleeps and power is very addictive to those POS swamp creatures. It’s not about the American people anymore that’s a bygone afterthought now it’s all about power and greed. Yes our nation is in a horrible situation with all our leaders in the DC swamp
Silly, just silly. It is wishful and bad political analysis with a slathering of military terms applied like gravy over a sketchy slab of meatloaf in a prison serving line.
Please, it is entirely my prediction and others like me (sobering thought). We pray it won’t happen but would be incautious to not expect and prepare for something like this.
The current rating is at the top according to the Homeland Security of FBI reports.

FBI Director Wray: to Congress April 11, 2024
When I sat here last year, I walked through how we were already in a heightened threat environment.
Since then, we’ve seen the threat from foreign terrorists rise to a whole other level after October 7.

Mayorkas could not confirm that every suspected terrorist that crosses the Southwest border illegally is detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), while Wray admitted that the FBI is still attempting to locate certain individuals on the terrorist watchlist who have crossed into the United States.

I agree with you on this. There has never been a presidential year quite like this one. I thought 2020 with COVID and the summertime riots was eventful, but 2024 will top it. The Democrats and the media are trying to present a narrative today that the party will unify and coalesce behind Kamala Harris especially after Biden’s endorsement, but we know the convention will be hectic. Too many inflated egos in that party won’t sit still with Harris getting the nod. The real fireworks haven’t started yet.
Trump should have waited until after Biden was nominated to debate him.
Blinken just announced Iran is within two weeks of acquiring the materials needed to make a nuclear weapon. What we have been trying to stop for years is now becoming reality.
What will Israel do? Who will make the decision on our side to stand back and let it happen or to neutralize it (if we still can)? We don’t have a president with a functioning brain. Will Israel attack Iran? Will there be some kind of nuclear exchange?
We are in a perilous position, the worst in my lifetime and I’ve been here for quite a while. How do we survive until January with the Democrat clown show in Washington as those traitors do nothing to secure our country?
Pre debate the mass media was viciously attacking anyone who said Biden was senile.
Now he is out as a candidate because he is senile.
The mass media has shown they can turn on a dime.
Kamala is a stunningly idiotic person—and every time she opens her mouth she makes a complete fool of herself.
If the mass media wants to plant their flag with her....good luck with that.
Whistling past the graveyard.
2020 Biden voters who have this year - for whatever reason - changed their vote to Trump are not going to change it back. This article is an attempt to talk the demoralized Democrat base into staying engaged.
Trump should be running ads right now showing the Laughing Hyena calling for more violence in the streets during the “Summer of Love.” Remember her saying that the rioters who killed cops, destroyed property, beat up innocent civilians, etc., had every right to do so and should continue?
Run the ad over and over with her own words coming out of her toothy, laughing pie hole. That should finish off her candidacy before it gets out of the gate.
Yeah ... we always take our political advice from MSN.
🙃
You could argue Trump did beat him. Ran him out of the race.
Post of the Thread.
When has Trump ever stopped fighting?
“Translation: The Steal will be more plausible without Biden on the ballot.”
It takes a while to build millions of fraud ballots and now that Biden is out, they not only have to get rid of the fraud ones with his name but they have to wait for a new canidate to even start with the new ones.
I think it will be harder to steal it now, as the limited time will be a factor.
They need Kamala around long enough to spend the scores of millions that were donated to Biden-Harris. When that’s gone, after a few quick signatures, so will Kamala be... first augmented by “another black woman,” Mike, but then replaced by HRC/Mike.
(Even Mike is not so dumb as to be the only one standing between HRC and the presidency.)
But sorry, HRC, PDJT’s popularity makes the coming election TOO BIG TO RIG!
I get that. But if you are the heavyweight champion of the world and lose your belt to some nobody. You want a rematch with that guy not someone who took it from that nobody.
It is personal.
Understand.
I don’t think there are that many actual Biden loyalists. They are Democratic Party loyalists - Vote Blue No Matter Who.
