The Rise of Weak Men is Killing American Innovation and Prosperity

Donald Trump failed at business…a lot. USFL, Tour de Trump, Trump Resorts, Trump Airlines, Trump University, etc. Leftists love to point that out. But that’s not the whole story. Trump had great successes as well. Not only has he developed world-class properties around the globe, but he was also produced and starred in one of the most popular television shows for more than a decade. Most telling of all was his renovation of the Wolman Ice Rink. New York City had spent $13 million and six years trying to renovate the Central Park icon when, in 1986, NYC admitted it had failed and must start from scratch. Trump offered to do the job in six months and under the $3 million budget. Reluctantly, the city gave him the contract and he finished in 4 months at a cost of $2.25 million. In just four months Donald Trump demonstrated exactly how dysfunctional government is!

But it’s his failures that provide the life lesson that leftists never get: Whether in business, love, or most non-government-related things, failure is the sign that someone was willing to risk the consequences to try and accomplish something. I say “non-government related” because government is one of the few areas of life where failure is the rule rather than the exception and it rarely results in soul searching.

Proof abounds! From a failed fifty-year War on Poverty to the abject failure of government schools to twenty-year wars that end exactly where they started, government continues to grow and accumulate more power year after year, regardless of its demonstrable and perpetual lack of success.

But government is not the nation. Government is not the people. Government is supposed to be a mechanism by which citizens protect individual rights and defend the nation—but that’s not what it is today.

The federal government has grown so large as to be an entity unto itself.

Question it and it attacks you with their not-so-secret national police (FBI) and their Brownshirts (antiFA).

And thanks to Biden voters, we are about to experience some hard times. In 2022, we will remember fondly how good it was in 2021. But what the hell, that is what they wanted. And what they voted for. We already have $ 3.00 a gallon gas in Alabama. heading towards $ 4.00 a gallon. Groceries are going up every week. Why should [Biden voters] care? They just get their food stamp allot However, the high gas prices cut down on their allotment increased. The increased gas prices does cut down on the money they have to spend on dope. They have to steal more each night to make up the shortfall.

Blaming “Biden voters” presumes the few who voted for him had any impact whatever. It’s clear to anyone watching Brandon was soundly rejected by the voters. as is nearly every lame brain leftist idea. The corrupt machine stole and is in the process of stealing the “election” and our country. Buy lead futures.

American men need to :

1) Turn off the propaganda media.

2) Ridicule, then completely ignore the shit throwing monkeys of feminism, faggotry and communism.

3) Get off leftist social media.

4) Get involved locally with your religious and political leaders. Local is where it starts.
