If they can pull of a complete end to the income tax and go back to funding by tariffs only it would be a major step forward. People living in states with income tax would notice and perhaps start demanding change there too.

As a starter, even without Congress, Trump can issue blanket federal tax pardons so that no person or corporation gets in legal trouble for not filing their taxes. Do it for 1 year, see what happens. Do it again the next year. See what happens.

“You cannot tell from appearances how things will go. Sometimes imagination makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be done. Those people who are imaginative see many more dangers than perhaps exist, certainly many more than will happen; but then they must also pray to be given that extra courage to carry this far-reaching imagination. But for everyone, surely, what we have gone through in this period — I am addressing myself to the School — surely from this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”

- Winston Churchill........

No matter how you feel about the candidates, we must support Trump and give him a GOP Congress.

This is our last shot before the shooting starts.

I would ask anyone who says they’re voting for Biden to name even one aspect of American life that is better because of him or his policies. I can’t think of any.

Even those he caters to like the LGTBQueers, climate alarmists, anti-Israeli and Trump haters don’t seem to be happy - they’re always complaining or protesting.

The only people who seem to be smiling are those one the right who are optimistic that Trump can become President again and turn things around.

I’ve said for years that if Trump ran on one issue only: “$2/gal gas” - he could win.

Absolutely we need to vote republican/conservative.

By the grace of God, it can be reversed, but I fear that it will only prolong the inevitable. But we can’t not try because if the dems maintain power (not win because when you cheat it’s not winning) they’ll have four years of free reign to finish their job and destroy our country.

I suspect that the only thing holding them back is the election. Once that’s over, either way we’re in for a rough ride because they won’t take a Trump win lying down.

Sadly, for us, its a lose/lose situation.

That is an awesome list.

Great job!

Now is the time to be optimistic and planning for the future.

Pres Trump is now a 5/8 fav to win-his lowest odds yet.

GOP is a big 1/3 fav to win the Senate.

GOP retaining House control is close.

This is the most anti-business admin in US history.

It should be easy to get the economy rolling again.
It is our greatest weapon and will instantly restore some degree of normalcy to the nation and the world.

Defunding entire agencies and reducing the federal workforce. Start at 10 percent. You could ratchet it up to at least 30% in subsequent years.

Defund all but one intelligence agency - and take full control of staffing the one that remains. Stop all activity of this one remaining agency within the United States. Defund and eliminate the FBI. Replace it with a different internal police agency under direct control off the President with close oversight of Congress. The New Agency Director is appointed only for a 4 year maximum term at the pleasure of the President.

Prepare for Lawfare, Malicious Prosecution and Cancellation.

You and FR are prime targets for the Swamp, and there will be Swamp Assisting Republicans, too.

Godspeed.

Prohibit immigration from muzzie countries.

Deport foreign muzzies and shut down mosques that promote violence.

The 1st Amendment isn’t a suicide pact.

“Cut the government, cut the spending, for the first time ever.”

***********

The key to saving the republic IMO. It all starts there. The bigger government gets, the smaller the people become.

The Founders tried to warn us about the dangers of government power; they knew what it would lead to but we didn’t heed their advice.

Unfortunately the GOP is unlikely to cut spending or reduce the size of agencies in any meaningful way. So the expansion and spending will probably continue until something breaks.

The barebones first wobbly steps to the long, long road to recovery of the Constitutioonal Republic needs to begin, at a minimum, with:

The MOST important items in his first 100 days are:
1. Immediately deport 60,000,000 MIVs;
2. Undo every single obama-biden E.O.;
3. Flush the military and Pentagon of every single pervert and all DEI rules;
4. Order a 40% reduction of the federal workforce to occur in 2025;
5. Disarm ALL federal agencies not part of the military, CIA, or FBI;
6. Move all agencies back to their 1999-defined agencies...
7. Abolish all agencies associated with environment, DEI, education, and banking;

Worry about the other 1000 important things upon completion of the above...

Jim, you know that Anything that requires Congressional input is not happening.

Remember the Rinos arguing about him using DoD funds to try to build the wall?

It will take more than just Trump to accomplish this. Yes, he can fire all appointees, etc., but it will take both the senate and the house to legislate long-term solutions, cuts in government spending, etc.

Trump can whittle away at this stuff like he did last time. Every little bit helps. I think many of us have been sobered by the last 4 years. I know I’ve lowered my expectations a lot.

At least we will see Trump EOs and replacements of SC justices. Businesses will have a bit more confidence with potential for resumed economic growth. Like with Reagan the people will have a bit more confidence too despite the dogged media.

Not sure Trump will get much of a majority in Congress to do much of anything there but we’ll see.

That is a great summary.

Add to it the elimination of he Department of Education transferring all the responsibilities back to the States.

Require every department, agency and bureaucracy - every entity receiving taxpayer money to justify their existence.
