Trump’s Fight is Just Beginning

Round One

On the night of November 5th, 2024, Kamala Harris refused to give a concession speech. Instead, the Harris campaign co-chair, Cedric Richmond walked out to say that more votes remained to be counted, and Kamala Harris would speak the next day.

I was watching as the vote totals came in. California and Hawaii were immediately declared for Kamala Harris, before a single vote had been officially counted. There were seven swing states — Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada — and Trump won them all. Nevada and Arizona didn’t declare a winner until November 9th, which is highly suspicious. Trump won the national popular vote by a huge margin. But in the states where Trump was winning by clear margins, any formal recognition of his victory was delayed… stalled… postponed as long as possible. The next morning, Trump sat at 267 electoral votes, just 3 short of winning — and the AP had still not called the race. 

This is as dirty as it gets. 

What this indicates is that some small faction of the Democrats intended to repeat the fraud of 2020, but they were abandoned by significant parts of their coalition. 

On the Joe Rogan podcast interview of Elon Musk, I could see the fear in Elon’s eyes as he was talking about how if Donald Trump lost the election, the Department of Justice and the rest of FedGov would soon be tasked with destroying him.

Elon Musk, Joe Rogan Experience #2223:

“This election is the last chance to preserve democracy in America. 

Mark my words. 

Everything they accuse Trump of, they are guilty of. And if Trump doesn’t win, this will be the last real election in America. If the Big Government Kamala Puppet machine wins, they will legalize illegal immigrants in swing states, there will be no swing states, every election going forward will be a guaranteed Democrat win. 

And it will actually be worse than California. The reason it will be worse than California is because the one thing that keeps California from being super crazy is that you can move out of California. 

…

We’ve got this suffocating, massive federal bureaucracy. Government spending is bankrupting the country. Our interest payments on the national debt now exceed the Defense Department’s budget. And growing every month. America is on a path to bankruptcy. So we have to cut spending, or we’re going to go bankrupt, just like a person would.

But it’s even worse than that. 

We’re spending money on all these government agencies. I actually asked AI how many government agencies there are. The government isn’t even sure how many government agencies there are. So it’s like somewhere around 450, depending on what you call an agency — at the federal level. We’re creating roughly two agencies per year.

…

We can build a rocket faster than they can process the paperwork to approve the launch. So our rocket is just sitting there for two months.”

Kamala ran the worst political campaign I’ve ever seen — she was hiding from interviews, awkwardly laughing at every question, deflecting softball questions from friendly reporters with vapid nonsequiturs. While Donald Trump was out shaking hands and kissing babies, Joe Biden was sniffing necks and biting babies. 

It’s a sign of how damaged America is, how much this nation has been hollowed out and corrupted, that the presidential election was ever in question. 

Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan Experience 2228:

“I think one of the things that we saw during the Trump campaign was the legal system being used against one of the most powerful people in the world. And how they can get away with turning 34 misdemeanors — essentially one misdemeanor, but 34 versions of it — 34 instances of writing in a ledger incorrectly, that's a misdemeanor and is past the statute of limitations… can be converted into a felony. And turned against a guy who's running for president as lawfare. It's just completely using the legal system to try to attack a guy and try to take him out of the race. And also try to label him a ‘convicted felon’. So once you have this label ‘Trump is a convicted felon’, you you heard it on all the talk shows: ‘convicted felon, convicted felon, convicted felon’. 

But enough people had a chance to look at the circumstances of the case and and understand what was actually what he was actually being tried for — paying someone off to not talk about him.”

Donald Trump has been slandered, sabotaged, prosecuted, penalized, and shot. FBI agents were sent to raid his home at Mar-a-Lago, and a judge signed off on permission for the FBI agents to fire on the Secret Service. Trump was shot because a detachment of Secret Service snipers mysteriously abandoned their posts upon the pretext that “the roof was sloped” and “it was hot outside”, while a lone gunman climbed onto the roof — and the security cordon of local police ignored audience members shouting that a man with a rifle had climbed onto the roof. Various women claimed that Donald Trump raped them thirty years ago. When Trump was president, his subordinates betrayed and subverted him, including military generals who disobeyed explicit commands to withdraw troops from Syria. 

It’s worth writing some of these events down, just to articulate how intense and frantic and absurd and surreal and venomous American politics have become. 

This is a high-stakes competition for control of the Global American Empire, during a brutal proxy war with Russia while hundreds of thousands of men are dying. A recent estimate in The Economist newspaper stated that Russian casualties are averaging around 1,200 soldiers killed and wounded per day, and that Russia has lost somewhere around half a million men. Presumably Ukraine’s losses would be similar, or worse. 

Winning the presidency is a good beginning. 

Donald Trump inherits a hostile bureaucracy, a bankrupt nation, and an empire inhabited by an obese, sedated, and psychologically demoralized population. 

The nice thing about having a decentralized, bureaucratic coalition of incompetent mediocrities running America is that they telegraph every move beforehand, because they’re forced to coordinate their decentralized attacks through media and academia. 

Our enemies are soft, and predictable.

In the aftermath of Trump’s election, news headlines signaled the next angle of attacks — to try to prevent Donald Trump from staffing his administration with loyal, competent personnel. 

Their number one, immediate objective is to prevent Elon Musk from taking control of the federal budget and slashing roughly a third of the government’s departments, obligations, and payroll. The media is already telegraphing how they will attack Elon Musk — based on accusations of an unprecedented conflict of interest. An incoming swarm of anklebiters will chant and sing in chorus that Elon is a criminal for financially benefiting from dismantling the regulatory apparatus which oversees Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter. 

Of course, the American regulatory apparatus has expanded from a century of bureaucratic mission creep, to the point that petty regulations intrude into every aspect of mundane life. Everyone is impacted by these absurd, illegal laws which Congress never voted on, and the American President never signed. We have SWAT teams euthanizing pet squirrels, while ignoring tens of millions of illegal immigrants. 

By this logic, any attempt to undo any law is a conflict of interest, because the regulations suffocate everyone. 

But we dream of Mars!

It’s an exciting time to be alive. 

If Donald Trump wants to drain the Swamp, he needs to operate with the surgical maneuvers of a swift, disciplined blitzkrieg. Right now, the Deep State is stunned… staggering… reeling backwards in shock. Unfortunately, it takes a long time to be sworn in and to staff the executive branch, and much of Trump’s current momentum will be lost before the First Day in office. This is by design — the permanent political class of Washington is structured to muffle vibrations, suppress volatility, and prevent any disruptions of the routine inertia of the status quo. 

One smart move that Elon Musk suggested on the Joe Rogan podcast is taken straight from Moldbug/Curtis Yarvin — fire most of the federal payroll, but allow government staff to receive two years of severance pay, and allow them to enjoy double pay if they find a new job. This leniency and generosity, more than anything else, will prevent Antifa riots from reaching a critical mass that could destabilize the transition from global Empire to sovereign nation. 

There’s a lot of ways for Donald Trump to lose from this point. All of these failed paths would be caused by the same kind of mistake — complacency. The worst thing he can do is to stop while he’s winning, try to make peace with his enemies, and blunt his own momentum. Compromise, at this point, would be fatal. And if Trump fails to change America’s current trajectory, the nation would continue to roll forward towards its previous nightmare possibilities — a debt crisis around 2032, followed by a potential civil war. 

But Trump’s a winner, and he’s triumphed against 2 impeachments, 91 indictments, and 34 felony convictions. 

On an individual level, no matter what happens in the long-term, in the short-term a Trump win buys enough time for you to build your life, strengthen your position, and consolidate your accomplishments. 

Genesis 41:17-36:

“Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,  when out of the river there came up seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds. After them, seven other cows came up—scrawny and very ugly and lean. I had never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt. The lean, ugly cows ate up the seven fat cows that came up first. But even after they ate them, no one could tell that they had done so; they looked just as ugly as before. Then I woke up.

“In my dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, growing on a single stalk. After them, seven other heads sprouted—withered and thin and scorched by the east wind. The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads. I told this to the magicians, but none of them could explain it to me.”

Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do. The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years; it is one and the same dream. The seven lean, ugly cows that came up afterward are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind: They are seven years of famine.

“It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do. Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt, but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land. The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe. The reason the dream was given to Pharaoh in two forms is that the matter has been firmly decided by God, and God will do it soon.

“And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man and put him in charge of the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance. They should collect all the food of these good years that are coming and store up the grain under the authority of Pharaoh, to be kept in the cities for food. This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt, so that the country may not be ruined by the famine.””
