David Horowitz's new book takes us behind the scenes of the real war.
Fri Jul 10, 2020
[David Horowitz's new book, Blitz: Trump Will Smash the Left and Win, has made the NY Times Bestseller List. Order it: Here.]
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
As the country seems to be spinning into chaos with cities burning and businesses shutting down, one question is on the minds of the media, the establishment, and the nearly 36 million Americans whose votes made history in the 2016 election.
Can President Donald J. Trump pull off a win one more time — in 2020?
That’s the question of the year that bestselling author David Horowitz tackles in his latest book, "Blitz: Trump Will Smash the Left and Win." In his previous book, "Big Agenda: President Trump's Plan to Save America," Horowitz had laid out the strategy and the stakes for the struggle consuming the last three years. Now, in "Blitz," he tackles the climactic battles for the next four years — and the future of America.
"Blitz" refers to both the war waged against President Trump by foreign and domestic adversaries, from Communist China to Marxist mobs in the streets, as well as his relentless defense of the Republic.
This is the year our commander in chief was emergent as a "wartime president," defending not just the moral integrity of the White House, but its very physical structure against radicals determined to burn it to the ground.
As the threat to this nation has reached unprecedented levels, so has Trump’s defense of it.
From Obamagate to impeachment to leftists bringing fire and fear to within sight of the White House, the material attacks on the Trump presidency have escalated from surveillance to lawfare to violence.
Meanwhile the moral attacks, the character assassinations and 24/7 defamation, have been used to license this unprecedented campaign to bring down our nation's 45th president by any means.
What the left fears is no secret.
The media has spoken the dreaded word again and again — Populism.
The forces that have run this country into the ground are terrified of a man who fights for the people, instead of implementing the radical agenda of leftist think tanks, activists, and their media mouthpieces.
As Horowitz writes in "Blitz," "Trump was not only not one of them, he was their worst nightmare — disrespectful toward everything they stood for — politically incorrect."
The information war waged by the media seeks to convince the public that President Trump is politically incorrect because he’s a bad man.
The truth is that the media sees him as an evil man because he is politically incorrect.
"Blitz" delves into the media’s determination to destroy President Trump by spinning and smearing his efforts to reach out to African-Americans, to heal the wounds of a divided nation, because it feared that a new revolutionary Republican leader might succeed in undermining Democratic racial divisiveness.
"As soon as Trump became the Republican nominee, he showed that his candidacy posed an existential threat to the Democrats' inner-city monopolies," Horowitz writes.
As one of the visionaries who had advocated for just this kind of Republican outreach to inner cities, the former leftist understands exactly what is at stake in the struggle for the soul of the inner-city constituencies on the Democratic plantation.
Trump’s unexpected maneuver panicked Democrats who responded by calling Trump a racist. This was not an offense, but a defense against any effort to liberate voters trapped in failed Democratic systems.
"That is the dirty secret that Democrat campaigns and slanders are designed to protect. If Democrats were to lose their control of these cities," Horowitz notes, "they could not win another election."
Both in and out of office, Trump expertly zeroes in on the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of his political opponents. He knows the Achilles heels of Democratic Party ruling elites and moves quickly to exploit them. That is the quality that has infuriated and frightened those elites into launching the "resistance."
As Horowitz sums up in one title in his book, "the impeachable offense is Trump himself."
Trump’s tactics are not unprecedented. As Horowitz understands better than anyone else, these are the tactics of the left. A refusal to take prisoners, a keen eye for vulnerabilities, and a determination to win at all costs by taking the fight to the enemy have been the qualities that are the hallmarks of the left.
They are what we are seeing on the streets, not just in 2020, but in the generations of national decline.
Leftists have fought ruthlessly and been opposed fecklessly by a Republican opposition that all too often fought only to secure a short-term compromise instead of a long-term victory. President Trump frightened the radicals because, for the first time in a very long time, Republicans were playing their way.
The rush of judicial nominations and executive orders were not unprecedented.
They were how the Obama administration had done business on everything from nuking the filibuster to Obamacare. But the Democrats had assumed that no future Republican occupant of the White House would start playing the game by their rules.
But that is President Trump’s strength. He doesn’t pull his punches either, as Horowitz details, on Twitter, or when it comes to the bare-knuckled brawls of policymaking:
"Trump will not ignore the left’s war on America," Horowitz boldly concludes. "By his actions over the course of his first White House term, Donald Trump has shown Americans that in the war the Democrats have declared on him—and through him, on their country —he can lead them to victory and secure a better future for all."
Reflecting the vigor of the man who is its subject, Horowitz’s book is both a stirring call to action and a ringing defense of President Trump’s quest to both Make America Great Again and to keep it that way.
As our nation approaches the pivotal crisis of a national election, the radical forces that turned federal law enforcement into their own private Watergate spy system sending mobs into the streets last time around, are pulling out all the stops in a campaign to bring Trump and America to their knees.
But, as "Blitz" documents, Donald J. Trump has not given up and is not about to abandon the fight.
2020 is a year of promise and peril, of fear and hope, of aspiration and violence —nationally.
"Blitz: Trump Will Smash the Left and Win," more than successfully captures that promise and peril as our nation's 45th president and the nearly 63 million men and women, of all races and creeds, who stood by him, face the fury of the storm.

DESTROY the Democrat party forever. It is the enemy.
Trump should have the electricity turned off in both bodies of Congress. He will turn it back on when his budget is approved.
I think the announcement about the “Path to Citizenship” is a tactical battle Trump is setting up. I think that path is going to be extremely limited and will require the illegals to go back and line up. The process could take years, even if given an expedited place. It would also get rid of the dopers, gangs, and worthless scoundrels. With the wait and having to return I would imagine that not many illegals will accept the offer.
The demonrats will whine and say it doesn’t go far enough. Trump is setting the demonrats up to defend drug dealers and gangs.
And dangerous Muslims too
As Horowitz writes in “Blitz,” “Trump was not only not one of them, he was their worst nightmare — disrespectful toward everything they stood for — politically incorrect.”
1) He is a self-made man who owes nothing to anyone;
2) He IS one of them: Ivy League educated, born and raised in the heart of the elites, NYC, etc.
3) He KNOWS these people very well - he got invited to their parties, donated to their campaigns and causes, pal’d around with them; and
4) In the final analysis, he absolutely HATES THEIR GUTS and knows all of their weaknesses. That he is as smart as a whip, is driven to defeat them, doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks of him, and is thinking of newer and better ways to defeat them literally while they are sleeping - all of that absolutely chills them to the core of their dark souls. He is St. George, and they the dragon.
I am actually hoping that the path will not require returning. If we suddenly remove that many productive people from the US our economy will surely suffer.
I would prefer no felonies, maybe one or two misdemeanors, but no drugs, English proficiency, high school graduate minimum, extra points for college and military service, pay all the taxes due -- even for under-the-table jobs, and no illegal voting.
This is a much narrower gate than you think, but we have been aborting enough citizens that we need someone to pick up the slack in tax paying.
Great ideas.
The plan is still the same. Steal the issue from the left and make them defend obvious criminals
L8r
They have voided their membership in the real of reason
They have invented crimes that are not codified
They have contrived on the level of adolescent sophistry to create moral arguments when there is foundation for hunting witches
They seek to empower themselves the imprimatur of control over our lives
They have given broad license for unlawful and immoral destruction of property and to decimate the lives of the innocent
They have demonstrated their moral bankruptcy of contorted policies seeking to limit the American voice of dissent by peaceful means, while proving complicit in illegal means to transform society by undermining the equal rule of law
Rant off
Coetus Democratorum delendus est.
>> Trump should have the electricity turned off in both bodies of Congress.
The DOJ should pry the MSM from the wicked hands of the federally licensed telecom providers.
This first Trump term has been largely spent trying to survive the savage attacks 24/7.
“I think that path is going to be extremely limited and will require the illegals to go back and line up.”
The path should require a signed agreement that there will be no chain migration of any family members whatsoever.
This is a family matter between the parents of the colonizadors and their kids. We have nothing to do with it as a country.
I would agree with that.
If you are talking about an educated, working, productive person, with a US citizen spouce, maybe aged parents but not sister, brother, aunt, uncle.
And I say this as someone with non-US citizen relatives who have asked if we would sponsor them to the US. We said no because they had no real ability to live here
That’s Trump!
.
Thanks.
We'll know soon if black citizens want to continue living on the democrat plantation or if they want to finally want to join with the rest of us.
In other words, Trump has out Alinskied the left.
