Dakota Beacon

I am finally resigned to a shabby Republican Party represented by Donald Trump.  Okay.  You all win.  I will be voting for Trump again.  I had held out for the reason that I have witnessed throughout my lifetime - the disintegration of the Republican Party from a party of opposition to Democrat government overreach and a protector of the Constitution and its transformation into a water-carrier for these Democrats and subverter of the Constitution.  After George W. Bush’s shameful reaction to the 9-11 event - his total failure to investigate, in fact his thwarting of any real investigation of the incident which cost the lives of 3,000 innocent American people; his using this act of terrorism to launch an irrelevant war in Iraq on false pretenses of WMDs in that country; his creation and implementation of the unconstitutional so-called “Patriot Act” and the establishment of a department of “Homeland Security”, my utter disgust with the party that promoted such a man and supported his misgovernment and his profligate spending into the bargain, that it was time to stop supporting these creeps.  Unfortunately, we next got McCain and Romney.  

After those two obliterated a party of opposition, and eight years of Obama and the burgeoning of tea party groups across the nation, it looked like the time was ripe for a return to a constitutional government led by a Republican conservative.  No such luck.  Instead we got Trump - an old Democrat with big-government ideas.  I balked.  It didn’t matter - there was no alternative once again.  I had argued with tea party patriots who hoped for a third party - I urged them to reform the Republican Party instead.  When we got a supposed populist in office, he actually did a few things right.  His natural instinct to be “assertive”, shall we say, encouraged better foreign policy and a pulling away from distant and pointless military conflicts.  That was good.  His ambition and interest in business brought about a sane energy policy.  That was good.  His spending was terrible - the worst of any president ever, and his response to the manufactured covid “pandemic” was a disaster.  He also failed to stop the unconstitutional power grab of many rogue governors (such as Governor Tim Walz, MN).  This and the standing down on massive rioting across the nation in 2020 cost many Americans their livelihoods, some their lives and the economy an enormous blow.  Worst yet, he put on a show every day tracing the progress of “covid”, starring the tag team of Fauci and Birx.  He deserved some very mixed reviews.  Still, he was running against a corpse with decidedly socialist overtones in Joe Biden and his communist sidekick, Kamala Harris.  So I strongly supported him in 2020.

His victory was stolen that year.  I don’t dispute this and neither would any other honest and sane person.  Subsequently he was hounded by those who stole from him on one after another irrelevant and insubstantial legal case.  After he was elected in 2016, he should have pursued justice with regard to Hillary Clinton’s “Russiagate” fraud.  Instead he took a sanguine approach, saying the whole “lock her up” slogan was for campaign purposes only.  He found out that taking advice from people like Chris Christie for filling the vacancies in the FBI was a mistake (at least we should all hope he did), and his judicial appointments were also lacking in due diligence, research-wise.  His poor judgment in determining who were the “best people” turned out to be his Achilles’ heel.  

Now that the foolish Republican Party has biffed its chance to put forward a great candidate with a good record and the will to work - Ron DeSantis - we were down to Biden/Harris or Trump.  It looked like more of the same.  In the four years since the election was pilfered, Trump could have traveled state-to-state to meet with legislatures and activists who had the will to try to make future elections secure and honest.  DeSantis worked hard on this in his state.  In North Dakota, an heroic effort was mounted by individual patriots.  They tried without any success to attract Trump’s attention and support.  So once again, Trump failed.

So why am I supporting him?  Because he has announced that he will appoint Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to his transition team.  This means he will be at least hearing some better recommendations for his appointments for cabinet secretaries and heads of government bureaus.  This would be a huge improvement over his last advisor, Christie, for example.  With better advisors and better, more competent research, Trump’s election might not have been stolen, his administration would have been better served and the American people would have been safer.  I supported Kennedy for this reason.  

Obviously, he was one of the people most feared by the tyrants in the Democrat Party.  They have done everything possible (and more!) to keep him from influencing government.  They have revealed themselves for what they really are - despots, tyrants, dictators, the anti-freedom party.  Communists.  They have censored, manipulated and coerced their way into power and plan to continue in order to keep power.  They will destroy America and everything it has represented.  Now, having forced Kennedy out of the Democrat Party process, and prevented him having ballot access in states like New York as an independent candidate through the most egregious breach of our Constitution, they now seek to prevent him from pulling out of the race, just so that he might cause votes lost to Trump, whom he has endorsed.  

So I urge everyone who has agreed with me about the state of the Republican Party and the need for reform through drastic means if necessary, to postpone that dream one more term.  We cannot come back from a Harris/Walz victory.  Harris was bad enough, but the choice of Tim Walz as running mate is a clear indication that we are in imminent peril of losing everything our founders and forefathers bled and died to give us - freedom.  Kennedy, as a valued advisor, gives us the promise of a better shot at draining the fabled swamp, cleaning up our government agencies and restoring some semblance of responsible, honest government through the election of Trump.  Let’s hope Trump means it.  The fact that Democrats want Kennedy on the ballot is a good reason to vote for Trump and not Kennedy in states where he is still on the ballot.  If his presence there blocks a few otherwise Democrat votes, fine.  But if you want to promote the kind of freedom he has been advocating and the responsible spending we need, we must support Trump and hope he will do his utmost best and take better advice from people like Gabbard and Kennedy.  Vote for Trump this time - it’s as close as we can get to a vote for freedom.
