in World News Remember, MAGA: This is No Time to Go Wobbly
By Brian C. Joondeph
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once reprimanded President George H.W. Bush with: “This is no time to go wobbly.”
A variation of those words, for MAGA now, seem appropriate.
Thatcher’s words occurred in 1990 when Bush considered how to respond to Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait – whether to adopt a military response or not.
Today, there is an invasion of another sort, President Donald Trump, DOGE, and the MAGA coalition mounting a full-on attack on the international deep state, globalists, and New World Order, the latter promoted by that same President Bush.
Trump’s assault spans multiple fronts, both foreign and domestic, as well as economic and social issues.
America’s Southern border is nearly closed.
Axios admitted:
The number of migrants illegally crossing the U.S. southern border plummeted in February to the lowest level seen in decades.
Illegal aliens are being deported, with a special focus on criminals and those affiliated with groups labeled as terrorists by the U.S., even while on student visas. Taxpayer-funded food, housing, education, and medical care for those illegally in America is coming to an end, as Trump promised long ago.
Trump is attempting to unravel U.S. involvement in what seems to be Russia’s attack on innocent Ukraine for no clear reason. However, a recent New York Times investigation reveals that America was more intimately and extensively entangled in the war than previously understood.
Trump campaigned on withdrawing us from such messes, particularly those proxy wars instigated by U.S. intelligence and diplomatic agencies.
Then there is the economy, another key factor contributing to Trump’s reelection.
As CNBC notably acknowledged:
Inflation rate eased to 2.8% in February, lower than expected.
Promises made, promises kept.
Jobs are back as well. As NBC News reported:
The U.S. added 228,000 jobs in March, beating forecasts.
On the social front, Trump, through executive order, is ending: “Radical and wasteful government DEI programs and preferencing.”
Another executive order is titled, “Keeping men out of women’s sports.”
Universities that ignore antisemitism risk losing federal funding, as Columbia and Princeton are discovering.
At a public school level, Trump warns: “Eliminate DEI programs or lose funding.”
These are all issues that Trump campaigned on and which the MAGA base, along with most Republicans, overwhelmingly support. It’s the Trump Doctrine of national security through economic security. And of common sense.
