Chemotherapy can be a life-saving though sometimes toxic effort to eliminate lethal cancer cells before they kill the patient. As such, it can serve as a bitter metaphor for the often-controversial efforts of the Trump administration to undo the metastasizing damage caused by the Biden administration. The left and the media, however, wish to convince America that the remedy for four years of either catastrophe is worse than the catastrophe itself.
Take the border. It was literally destroyed over the last four years. After welcoming in some three million illegal aliens per year—none with legal permission, health audits, or criminal background checks—there was no sign that the then-current or a second Biden administration was ever going to stop radically altering the demography of the U.S.
It was apparently not enough for Biden and his puppeteers that there were a record 50-million-plus foreign-born U.S. residents, comprising nearly 16 percent of the population, among them likely more than 30 million illegal aliens. What number would have been sufficient for a putative eight-year Biden administration—40, 50, or 70 million illegal aliens?
How could any subsequent lawful administration ever undo such nihilism? Would anyone try to round up 500,000 likely criminal aliens, house by house?
Ferret out violent illegal aliens from sanctuary cities, our modern version of nullificationist Confederate states defying federal law?
How does one even find 12 million people illegally admitted under Biden?

After all, fueling the lawlessness only required passivity, but restoring lawfulness mandated arrest and occasionally force.
The media did not cover the rapes, murders, and assaults of illegal aliens. Nor did it care about poor American citizens vying for swamped social services amid the illegal flood of illegal aliens. It fixated only on the unpopular chemotherapeutic task of belatedly enforcing the law, securing the border, and deporting the illegal entrants.
It was likewise easy to allow the cancer of appeasement and laxity to spread abroad. That was an effortless matter of dropping sanctions to beg theocratic and terrorist Iran to reenter the “Iran Deal.” Or asleep-at-the-wheel appeasement meant a quick skedaddle from Afghanistan, without worry about the mayhem, chaos, and billions of dollars of weapons abandoned to the Taliban—or the signals it sent to Vladimir Putin or communist China.
The cure may be painful, but it’s the cancer—unchecked borders, foreign appeasement, DEI overreach, and green delusions—that’s killing the patient.

Government grows constantly without concern for the host, with taxation serving as the angiogenesis fueling the cancer at the expense of the host -- until death if unchecked.
If the current chemo is unsuccessful, we face radical excision or collapse.
Pray That Dr. Trump and his team of surgeons are successful.

November 2024 was supposed to be the last election. USA was supposed to turn into California. One party state.
WHATEVER it takes!
MAGA!
Awesome article by VDH. Nothing factually new. But a great analogy of detail by detail what Biden did and how ugly but necessary it is to undo those thing.
Fantastic article by VDH! Please add me to your ping list.

I don’t think there is enough time or money or manpower to ferret out all these illegal vermin. The surface of finding and moving 500,000 or more of the worst criminals is just beginning. One of the most shocking factors of that group is that many have been tried, convicted, jailed and released already; some more than once.
This is not disparaging of Trump. I am doubtful though that he will manage to remove a significant number of the invaders before he is forced to stop or someone else is elected to repeat what bidet did.
Obama and bidet have nearly destroyed the republic. The current kerflffle over the russia conspiracy will do nothing to reverse the massive damage that they have done even if they go to jail, and they should. More than jail is justified to me. I would enjoy a good hanging and would pay to see it.
