At first glance, one might not see the connections between the Gipper, Ronald Reagan, Justice Clarence Thomas, President Donald Trump, and Soviet President Vladimir Putin. Yet over a 40-year period, these four have combined to radically transform the world, ensure—-over time—-greater prosperity, re-establish national sovereignty, and elevate life and family.
Ronald Reagan came into office in 1981 with the two-fold mission of restoring the American economy from the pre-Joe Biteme, the hapless Jesus Carter. In just four years, Carter took a bad economy and made it terrible; took relatively competent foreign policy and made it bumbling; and took American pride and self-image and dragged it through the streets of Tehran.
Carter’s military policies swung from canceling every weapons system in sight to moralizing against our allies. How’d that work out for him? Enemies such as the Ayatollah Khomeini laughed at Carter while holding Americans hostage for over a year. The Soviet Union ignored him entirely by invading Afghanistan. Soviet military policy actually began contemplating first strikes with nukes against American targets on the assumption that Jesus Carter was too weak and inept to respond.
It took Reagan less than six months in office to rectify most of these wrongs. He immediately announced production of the B-1 Bomber and a new “stealth” follow-on, the B-2; he deployed the MX missiles that Carter had dithered over for four years; and he (though not of his own doing) was able to put to sea the new Trident submarines, each capable of laying waste to the entire USSR by itself.

“Jesus Carter”
I get it, Larry’s knickname for peanut head, just like BiteMe for the current vegetable.
Ping.
Quite the history lesson. Thanks Larry Schweikart!
As far as Putin pushing families and entrepreneurship, you don’t give credit for doing “the right thing”, for the wrong reasons/motives. China has pushed capitalism, so they can be economically stronger TO DO EVIL. They are now pushing bigger families, for the same reason.
Schweikart should have stopped while he was ahead. By including Putin in with those great men, that’s beyond wrong. It’s repulsive.
Schweikart seems to admire Putin because Putin is neither a communist nor a globalist. Well, Hitler was also neither a communist nor a globalist.
I actually checked to see when this article was written. I thought maybe Schweikart wrote it before the invasion of Ukraine. But nope. It was written earlier today.
It’s about anti-globalists - nationalists - sovereignty
Donald Trump promised, with much skepticism, to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade. Indeed, for many voters, judges were the sole issue on which they voted for Trump. As President, Trump and his advisors first and foremost sought out judges who would make war on the Deep State. Steve Bannon told me, as I referenced in Dragonslayers: Six Presidents and their War with the Swamp, that their first criteria was the judges responses to questions about the Chevron case, which dictated that that, unless an agency's interpretation of a statute is clearly erroneous, courts should defer to that interpretation because the administrative agency has more expertise in that specific area than do courts.
Kavanaugh and others were not picked because they were social conservatives, he told me, though that is what they turned out to be.
Trump immediately banned abortions on federal properties abroad and issued executive orders on other pro-life measures. In a short time, he had far exceeded what either Reagan or Bush had done to curb abortion.
Beyond that, though, Trump began to withdraw the U.S. from international entanglements such as the Paris Accord and the TPP agreement. He threatened China with tariffs for using predatory pricing due to its slave labor. In short, Trump began to upset the Globalist Apple Cart from day one.
And when the fight came to confirm Brett Kavanaugh,the hardest of the three of his nominations due to the last minute Thomas-like hit job concocted by DemoKKKrats about a college party to which there were no witnesses,Trump stood by his man even though most other presidents would have urged Kavanaugh to withdraw from consideration. In three short years, Trump filled one-third of the Court. When Ruth Ginsburg died, it created a firestorm of venom against DemoKKKrats from the left, who argued she had stayed long past her shelf life and had destroyed any chance Zero (Barack Obama) had of replacing her. At any rate, it proved a Godsend for Trump. Barrett, by becoming the 6th conservative on the Court, ended any hope Roberts could again be a swing vote. This could be seen in the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, wherein Roberts, in a lengthy concurrence to the majority opinion, made clear were he in charge there would have been a much more mushy, pro-choice decision. But confronted with a majority who didnt need him, he figured to get his licks in via the concurrence.
Meanwhile, Alito delivered a meticulously argued decision for the majority relying heavily on history and exposing the utter dross that was the Roe and Casey decisions. If anything was clear after the last week, it was that this is not the Roberts court. It is the Thomas and Alito Court.
Just the previous day, Thomas delivered a tour de force on gun laws in America in overturning New Yorks requirement to have a special permission to carry a firearm.
There is one more case lurking the EPA case that promises to severely hamstring the Deep State, which has already been wounded (perhaps fatally) by the Fifth Circuit in Jarkesy v. SEC which held that SEC administrative proceedings are unconstitutional. Lawyer Robert Barnes said that decision may have been the death knell for the Deep State. We will know on Monday.
You should change your name to Leaning Left.
Just checking in to see how the Putin Puffers are doing. lol

Actual Communists since Stalin and Mao had and have little use for LGBTQ, CRT types and Muslims, except as useful idiots. Once the Communists take total control they are liquidated.
Great article Larry! I agree with you 100% on Putin.
With Trump out of office, Putin is the globhomos’ main obstacle to their new world order.
Larry is always a great read

Wow, thanks Larry - someone who high level sees the world as it really is.
