Observations From the Back Row

By Rich Kozlovich

 

Since FDR there's been this touchstone for accomplishment called the first 100 days.  Well, Trump has been President for 84 days, and what he's accomplished in that short time has been by far greater than any administration in history, and will go down in history as the most effective 100 days, while facing the most resistance to any President in history, including FDR.

 

The Democrat party is full of people suffering from a serious case of weird compounded by a massive infection of hubris. Universally deluged with big egos, bad attitudes, uncontrolled pettiness, unparalleled incompetence, unbounded arrogance, ignorance without parameters, intrepid stupidity beyond measure. 

The big difference between the resistance FDR faced and what Trump is facing is the Democrat party was still the "loyal" resistance, but no longer.  There's a reason they're called the party of treason, and it's because they are, and just like all the leftist dictators that ever lived they're doing everything to corrupt the rule of law to destroy Trump and all who subscribe to the traditional social paradigms that are foundational to American culture. 

Before the election they corrupted the rule of law, commonly called "lawfare", to prevent him from running for President.  That failed.  After the election the "lawfare" continued to in an attempt prevent him from ending the corruption of the vast administrative state.  That's failing and there's going to be some long term kickback over this corruption.

• Conservatives Shut out by ‘Big Law’ Have Little Sympathy as Firms Face Major Upset Under Trump

Finally it's gotten so outrageous it's causing the Congress to finally exercise their constitutional right to reign in these corrupt political hacks who've appointed to the federal judiciary.  But make no mistake, it will not stop.   Another Federal Judge Orders USDA to unfreeze funding to Maine as trans athletes dispute continues.  And again, the Trump administration intends to go forward with terminating Maine’s federal K-12 funding over this issue, and in the end, they'll win.   At some point I believe Trump may just say this is not within their Constitutional purview and take the Jacksonian view to openly defy their rulings.  

These are judges who seem to think was perfectly reasonable to shut down churches over this false covid pandemic, but it violates some imaginary constitution right when raided for harboring illegal immigrants.   There is no "Horns of the Alter" provision in the Constitution. 

One really big thing in his favor is it's becoming abundantly clear no matter how much the left rants and screams about these DOGE investigations,  DOGE keeps finding corruption and outrageous spending that has gone on at levels that is far beyond anything the so-called ''Conspiracy theorists" believed in, all of which the American public is shocked at.... on a daily basis..... and who believe the federal judiciary needs to be reigned in. 

• Illegal Immigrants on Terror Watchlist Received Medicaid, Unemployment Insurance: DOGE Many of them also received student loans, tax refunds, and food stamps, according to the Department of Government Efficiency. 

The left has screamed about freedom of speech forever, mostly based on the fact sane people don't want to hear what they're saying, but we now know it's all hypocrisy.  They hate freedom of speech that resists the latest leftist narrative of the moment, such as the idea that men can claim to be women, and women must accept it. Female students at George Mason University  are being punished for daring to question the right of men who claim to be women using women’s restrooms.  And even worse if female athletes dare to question the idea men can compete with women in sports. 

One profile in courage is female fencer Stephanie Turner, who "refused to fence against a man pretending to be a woman, and was "black- carded—fencing’s most serious sanction--and in an act of spite, tournament officials ejected her from the venue..... Turner knew her refusal to fence men would badly damage her ability to compete."  And why does USA Fencing support this fallacy?  According to their fencing coach, these trans need a “athletes a sense of belonging and a will to live is more powerful than medals and competitive glory.”

 

So, the purpose of sport is to give mentally ill men “a sense of belonging and a will to live?” Sport, particularly fencing, has nothing to do with “medals and competitive glory?” 

This isn't going to go away, and while there are no federal funds involved, they may lose their accreditation as "they are the National Governing Body (NGB) for the sport in the United States........the organization must comply with federal law........or risk losing (NGB) status........."  Have no doubt this needs fixed or they will destroy women's sports......Two Dudes Will Compete in National Fencing WOMEN’S Championship

There seems to be one court that has it's head on right.  The North Carolina Supreme Court Rules Most of the 65,000 Questionable Ballots Must Count in Hotly Contested Judicial Race.  Voter fraud is still a massive problem, and that must be the focus of conservatives.  A matter of lawfare in reverse, only having their facts in place, and it can be done with AI, just as DOGE has shown in their investigations.   

So much of all this starts with education and the leftist corruption of thought in our universities, and America is now all in on ending funding for these corrupt institution, especially those who've supported radical antisemites who aren't even Americans, but jihadists who hate America, Jews, Christianity, and western culture, and who, just like the Taliban believe this kind of violence is foundational to Islam.    The intifada in Germany claims another victim, and while it’s true not all Muslims are violent, but the fact is those who are swim in a sea of acceptance.  

• The Maximum Support Act: A bipartisan push for Iranian democracy and human rights

There's been a lot of kickback regarding regarding Pam Bondi and Kash Patel as to when  are we going to start seeing arrests:

 

But what truly caught fire online was the growing frustration from conservative grassroots. One user, reflecting the sentiments of millions of Americans sick of the two-tiered justice system, posted an image of high-profile Obama-era officials with the simple caption: “When is accountability coming for these people?”

1. Barack Obama – President during the weaponization of intelligence agencies.
2. James Clapper – DNI who misled Congress.
3. John Brennan – CIA Director who allegedly politicized intelligence.
4. James Comey – FBI Director at the helm of the Russia hoax.
5. Sally Yates and Loretta Lynch – Key DOJ officials during the anti-Trump operations.
6. Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce and Nellie Ohr, Andrew Weissmann, James Baker, and Stefan Halper – a cast of deep-state actors and informants involved in surveillance, leaks, and disinformation.

Well, the President has been in office a mere 84 days, Bondi has been there 71 and Patel 62 days, with both of them having to purge their departments massively.  Given the massive levels of corruption that the FBI and the DOJ must investigate, I don't know how they could possibly meet everyone's expectations.   First, they have to fire a host of people at the FBI and the DOJ, and then replace them with first rate, real law and order agents and prosecutors.  That's time consuming, and I have no doubt the hours they're putting in to accomplish that is draining, emotionally, physically, and intellectually.  Investigations take time, and putting together documentation and witnesses for this cases that will be effective is time consuming, if they actually want convictions.  

 

For the time being they merit a benefit of the doubt.  What I expect seeing is a "bit's and pieces" theme, such as  this Corrupt FBI Official Behind Russiagate and Hunter Biden’s Laptop Cover-Up FINALLY Placed on Administrative Leave, but these "bits and pieces" will expand and grow, but it takes time, and these investigations are going to work their way up the ladder, Russia Collusion Doc Drop: Why Did Crooked Hillary’s Lawyers Meet With the FBI Guy Who Started the Fake Probe?, all the more reason to take the time to do it right.

 

As we've watched the Obama and Biden administrations destroy the quality of the senior officers in the military it's stunning to realize the rest of the military wasn't on board, watch what happens when plans for restoration for Jesus painting at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.  Is that a theme playing out at all the military academies?  I don't know, but we're going to see the end of racial preferences in admissions at all of them, and I expect to see a serious change in attitude, especially as all these senior military Woke/DEI personnel Obama and Biden put in place are fired. 

 

Finally, this piece is really worth your time: 10 Environmentalist Myths.  We are not in a climate crisis, there are not too many people, we are not running out of fossil fuels, bio fuels will not replace traditional fuels, wind energy is a loser, renewable energy is a farce, housing restrictions are a prelude to tyrannous control of society, and mass transportation is part of the scheme, and the wilderness is not sacred.

Does it matter that our artistic culture is so bereft of greatness? It is not possible to measure the effect, but as Einstein said, not all that can be measured is important, and not all that is important can be measured. The purpose of society is not to produce great art, and yet a society that fails to do so will subsequently be thought the poorer for not having done so. There is no grandeur to it, only a dull, insipid, and uninspiring utilitarianism, however great its technical achievements. We may be able to communicate faster, more easily, and with more people than ever before—but we have nothing to communicate. - Empty Frames, by Theodore Dalrymple
