The welcomed counterrevolution is one of restoration. No one knows quite what is ahead, but all know that it is at least better already than the current nightmare.
Never in U.S. history has a president-elect been welcomed as the real president before his January 20 inauguration. And never has the incumbent president so willingly surrendered his last two months in office and all but abdicated—to the relief of his nation and the rest of the world.
One reason so many are welcoming Trump’s return is the universally desperate hope that his election spelled an end to a collective madness at home and its ripples abroad during the last four years. And why not?
Nations overseas had never quite witnessed anything like the lethal August 2021 American flight from Afghanistan. That utter humiliation and impotence of the U.S. military likely signaled to Russia there would be no consequences if it invaded Ukraine—and it did; to Iran that it could now unleash Hamas and Hezbollah on Israel—and it did; and to China that it could daily threaten Taiwan and send a spy balloon across the United States with impunity—and it did.
The result was the current global chaos perhaps not seen since the late 1930s when a confused United States was similarly a bystander to the rise of bellicose regimes and wars. The Biden administration shrugged that the Red Sea, the Black Sea, the South China Sea, the Straits of Hormuz, and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea all became dangerous to the U.S. Navy and unsafe to world shipping.
A disparate group of nuclear and near-nuclear powers—Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran—are either at war with Western allies or threatening war with them.

The Biden-era cultural revolution has done great damage to the United States. The U.S. border was systematically and deliberately destroyed to allow some 10-12 million illegal entrants to pour into the U.S. without legality or background checks. Never has an outgoing administration spitefully sold taxpayer-purchased border wall material for pennies on the dollar—rather than see it used for the purposes for which it was purchased.
Never had the U.S. experienced such an immigrant surge. And never had more than 50 million, and over 15 percent of the resident American population been foreign-born.
Why did Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas erase the border? What madness and hate drove them to dismantle federal immigration law? Was it sheer nihilism? Or a desperate but calculated effort to alter American demography for political purposes?
Summed up, the welcomed counterrevolution is one of restoration—to dream again that nothing is impossible, and the dreary age of stasis, envy, cynicism, and nihilism is ending, replaced again by a world without limits. No one knows quite what is ahead, but all know that it is at least better already than the current nightmare.

Please note that the Biden administration will borrow $1 trillion during this new fiscal year - and President Trump hasn't even taken office!
It isn’t over yet.
The subversive elements behind Biden are still walking free.
All of this is part of the illegal Kenyen pResiden, Broke Insane Obummer, and his attempt to “transform America”. Treason at the highest level!
No, the madness will not end so long as those “in power” think that it is the system that did the damage. It is individuals. Get rid of them and the problem will go away for a generation or two.
Name them. Shame them. Shun them.
And arrest them where warranted, and I think that list is long
Thank the gods for getting Trump elected!
You can see the other countries leaders responding to a real man and leader. Imagine what they think of Biden and Harris!
Biden is a pedophile and committed incest with his daughter. He stole the 2020 election. He is a traitor and taken bribes since he was in congress. He brought in all kind of FREAKS when men dress as ugly women and we were told that it is normal!
The democrats are socialists and communists and will destroy this country if not punished. Trump cannot say he does not want to lock up Bidens son or the Clintonsor Pelosi or McConnell. Stop being nice and enforce the laws we have now!
Everything Biden and the democrats did was to weaken and undermine the United States. The old media is very corrupt and has been for decades. The companies broadcast licenses must be revoked as punishment.
The owning of great numbers of radio and tv stations limited. No more 6 media companies controlling 90% of what we see and hear but dozens or hundreds. We are seeing this now with internet media companies forming and taking viewership away as far as news is concerned.
Agree completely
“Why did Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas erase the border? What madness and hate drove them to dismantle federal immigration law? Was it sheer nihilism? Or a desperate but calculated effort to alter American demography for political purposes?”
I think the simple and true answer is, “White people bad.” If they couldn’t wipe out the Untermensch whites in camps, then they would wipe them out by making them a permanent and ever shrinking minority. I’m hoping the self-destructive craziness is over. Last night I watched a group of talking heads discuss this subject. They pointed out that the answer to every problem brought up by the Democrats came down to being solved by things like putting Tampons in men’s restrooms and the people said, “No.”
This just about wraps it up:
<><>Biden is a pedophile
<><>he committed incest with his daughter
<><>he stole the 2020 election from Trump
<><>he is an outright traitor
<><>he’s taken bribes as an elected official
<><>he corrupted congress for fifty years
<><>He flaunted FREAKS in govt and gave them our tax dollars
<><>he told us men dressed as women was normal
<><>he corrupted justice, keeping his crackhead son out of jail
<><>he made the Biden Crime Family rich
<><>he lied about his no-account wife’s origins.
I say this as a political observer, not an aspiring prophet or evangelist: There will be no restoration without bringing the country back to Christ.
Muesli Brains might have disappeared for the last couple of months but this did not stop the deep-state from sabotaging everything it can until the morning of Inauguration. Including as giving employee unions perks (like staying home) to starting a war with Russia.
And Biden will pardon himself for the last 12 years would be a good bet.
You think it’s going to end? ROFLMAO!
That was just the warmup act!
Another GREAT article by VDH. Thanks for posting. BUMP!
I just hope we don’t get nuked in the next month or so. The drones worry me.
The vindictive little weasel Biden is doing anything BUT willingly surrendering, rather he (or those who pull his strings) are going scorched earth on the way out of office.
From petty things like selling southern border wall parts to more consequential things like pardoning everyone in sight, to manipulating the bureaucracy to embed favored deep state actors in government to flooding cash grants out to envirowackos.
No, the people controlling our White House right now are certainly not surrendering - they're doing everything they can to waste Trump's time undoing their last minute power spree - if he can.
The answer is no.
Not until the die hards are dead will America be free of the Progressive cancer knawing at it’s innards
Buden’s just a stooge.
It’s the people who installed him who pose the threat.
We’ve won a battle, not the war.
Not yet.
Correct, and if anyone thinks they’re done, I’ve got news for them.
These Communists are driven. I don’t think they’re real smart, but they are in lockstep, and too dumb to quit.
Look for them to double down on stupidity, and try some very drastic measures, going forward.
We’re under 40 days to inauguration, and they are hell-bent to prevent it.
