Back to the Beginning
American Thinker ^ | 2 Jan, 2024 | J.B. Shurk

So it begins: a new year, a new presidency, and, for America, a new lease on life. Yet it feels as if we’ve been here before, doesn’t it?

Political juggernaut Donald Trump has ascended like a Musk rocket and vanquished the Obama-Clinton-Deep-State machine. Authoritarian members of the medical community are panicking about “bird flu” and demanding masks, lockdowns, and experimental “vaccines.” National debt continues to rise, and the rusting, sclerotic Establishment offers only war, climate taxes, and central bank funny money as lead-weighted “life buoys” to keep the financial system afloat. The people are finding their voices, and because Western authorities somewhat secretly despise free speech, governments and technological powerhouses are all clamoring for more censorship and A.I.-managed algorithms capable of isolating and punishing dissent. It’s 2025, but as Yogi Berra would say, it’s déjà vu all over again!

Some things are different, though:

(1) Hollywood has been mostly silent since President Trump’s electoral triumph. Aside from D-list has-been Mark Hamill’s whiny tantrums over Trump’s return (a tired role for a tiny man desperately seeking a spotlight), the opinionated nincompoops have little to say. Did the Democrat Consulting Class forget to write Tinseltown some new lines for this season’s soapy political drama? Or are many “stars” from the Walk of Fame too busy chasing bit parts in pharmaceutical commercials and Hallmark Christmas movies to risk pissing off what’s left of their fan base?

What happened to the “brave” thespians who promised eight years ago that Trump would never assume office? I think they all ended up taking co-hosting gigs on The View. Remember when the forgotten cast from The West Wing and some of Rob Reiner’s favorite pod people starred in commercials arguing for the Electoral College to ignore the 2016 results and install unlikable Hillary? So very insurrection-y!

There is still plenty of time before the inauguration for leftist tricks.

Surely we should let bygones be bygones and look to the future, correct?

Trump might, but hopefully very few others will. There are far too many people who have committed far too many crimes, to simply let bygones be bygones. That is a recipe for more of the same in the near future.
