The man hasn’t lost a step. )

“President Trump with a Republican House and Senate...”

ALL THREE of these things have to happen, and still, saving the republic will be quite an uphill climb.

It can turn clockwise or counterclockwise. But yes, there is still hope.

We need enough of majority in the House and Senate where RINOs like Murkowski, McConnell, Collins and rest can't cripple Trump's agenda and ability to pick his own cabinet.

Very doable if the base votes like the country's survival is depends on at and Lara Trump can succeed in countering voter fraud.

We need to cap the ability of Democrats to buy votes by a middle-class income tax cap in the federal constitution.

Fighting for such a middle-class income tax cap now in Congress would add the electors of several deep blue states to Trump’s total and make Congress turn deep red come November.

[perhaps]
Federal income taxation shall be capped as follows, on personal income:
below the average yearly apartment rent in the District of Columbia, 10%,
below the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 22%,
below the average employee compensation of the 100,000 best paid federal full-time civilian employees, 30%,
below the average employee compensation of the 10,000 best paid federal full-time civilian employees, 40%.

[Note: All percentages to include employee FICA. They would not fully include self-employment tax, so people that pay SE tax might choose to voluntarily invest in the SS system or otherwise arrange for their own retirement funding.]

[Anything that the IRS would as of January 1, 2024 legally be able to collect income tax on if provided to any person would be considered compensation.]

The Republicans in Congress should try to send to the states a constitutional amendment that would cap middle class property taxation, such as:

Property tax on any residential property of less than 2799 square feet of finished space shall be no higher the 2019 dollar amount on the property, or for a newer or since resold property what a similar property in the same area would have been taxed at for 2019 if it lacked owner specific tax breaks, increased by 3% per calendar year since 2019 and by any percentage increase to its finished living space.

Fighting for such a property tax cap now in Congress would add the electors of several deep blue states to Trump’s total and make Congress turn deep red come November.

Even devoted Democratic voters do not want to get taxed out of their homes.

A few things that President Trump with a Republican House and Senate can do to immediately stop the downward spiral:

I just explained to a neighbor that if Trump is elected his ability to stop America’s slide into Third-world status will be determined by whether the criminals lose control of Congress.

“Tell the UN, nafta and other world government bodies to pound sand. Again.”

We pay the UN to have a Security Council veto.

We could pay the UK to exercise its Security Council veto if it was not likely to be run by the leftist Labour Party.

Quotes from the Refugee Convention:

Article 23 - Public relief

The Contracting States shall accord to refugees lawfully staying in their territory the same treatment with respect to public relief and assistance as is accorded to their nationals.

Article 17 - Wage-earning employment
....
2. In any case, restrictive measures imposed on aliens or the employment of aliens for the protection of the national labour market shall not be applied to a refugee...who fulfils one of the following conditions:
(a) He has completed three years’ residence in the country;
....
(c) He has one or more children possessing the nationality of the country of residence.

Article 34 - Naturalization [and getting the right to vote (and buy AR-15s)]

The Contracting States shall as far as possible facilitate the assimilation and naturalization of refugees. They shall in particular make every effort to expedite naturalization proceedings and to reduce as far as possible the charges and costs of such proceedings.

https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/convention-relating-status-refugees

Article 44 - Denunciation [getting out from under the Refugee Convention]
1. Any Contracting State may denounce this Convention at any time by a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Such denunciation shall take effect for the Contracting State concerned one year from the date upon which it is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations....

NOTE: I do not trust any politician who has not called for invoking Article 44 to get the US out from under the Refugee Convention.

The Refugee Convention must be removed from the Democratic Party toolbox by invoking Article 44.

“We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land, and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be.”

[from an earlier speech]

“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

Winston Churchill

“And why it’s worth voting for Republicans again.”

Thank you JR, for posting this. There are quite a few here that say “don’t vote”, the Republicans don’t ‘deserve’ your vote. And they’re right, the Republicans don’t, but the country does, our children do, as well as our grandchildren.

As to those saying “don’t vote”, I suspect some are NeverTrumpers, some are trolls, but many, perhaps most, are honest conservatives who are very angry. It’s tough, but I try to tell them that they’re not voting for their daughter’s babysitter, they’re voting for a guy that, with enough support in Congress, will clean up the Courts, build the wall, and hopefully keep us out of World War 3.

It’s not a referendum on Trump or on a particular RINO, it’s our ONLY way to keep this country from becoming another Third World country, and yes, it can happen here, and yes, it WILL happen here, if we keep sitting out elections.

Jim Robinson for Vice-President!

Seriously, tho, the planks in that wish-list platform are solid oak. We all need to pray for success.

I agree.

The very first thing he needs to do is to take a hint from Clinton’s playbook, and fire every Federal Attorney in the country.

Clinton got away with it, and the WhiteWater crimes he and Hillary committed in Arkansas, while Bush got heat from removing only a few.

Yet, Trump will be a lame duck President, so the first thing he should do is fire every Federal attorney working for the Justice Dept. Then we can stop all the illegal criminal cases being waged on innocent Americans.

This is definitely the most important presidential election of my life time.

Biden by any and all metrics has been a horrible president. And Trump has to be more aware of avoiding self-inflected mistakes (bad appointments).
