Nothing Has Really Changed

THE DEATH OF EUROPE by John Stossel Nothing has really changed by Daniel Gardner, Special to the Gazette

You know that war over there that nobody talks about over here? Yeah, the second war Biden botched during his first year as president. Nowadays everybody’s talking about President Trump ending that war with a press conference in the oval office. In just over a month, Mr. Trump has closed our borders with Canada and Mexico, renamed a mountain in Alaska, and created a new body of water on our southern border. He has simultaneously baffled every woke person in America with whirling dervishes.

First, this is really nothing new. For the past nine years Mr. Trump has been the brunt of hundreds of malicious lies as well as the target of dozens of elaborate gambits by our own federal government. The presser in the Oval Office last Friday was just another day on the job. Here’s the short version. Big dog nation attacks little dog nation generating a reflexive reaction from a clueless president who’s flush with other people’s money. He and his people throw hundreds of billions of dollars at the little dog who appears to be whupping the big dog.

Then Americans elect a new president who has a strong track record as a leader. He inherits the three year old dog fight and develops a plan to break it up. By now the little dog believes the world loves him because he’s beating the big bad dog that everybody hates. The self-emboldened little dog growls and circles around the new president just like he did with the old president hoping to get guarantees of winning along with his usual prizes. After all, little dogs deserve things like that when big dogs attack them. “It’s a rule of war!” The new president hates the dog fight and wants it to end. The big dog bidens his time just like before, but the new president won’t give the little dog what he believes he deserves. So, the new president tells the little dog to “Get out of here!”

Both dog nations live in tough neighborhoods and have nothing to offer America. Why did the old president get into this fight? Because he’s clueless. Why didn’t the new president end the fight? Because neither dog wanted peace. The new president returned to work like no other president before him using imaginitive tools and techniques not only to repair trillions of dollars of damage, but also to lead the nation into prosperity for everyone.

Nevertheless, his detractors continue to harrass him with dozens of lies that have been debunked and the most vile ad hominem attacks ever levelled at an American president.

Why do President Trump’s detractors treat him like this? He has become one of America’s most popular presidents because he’s attracted followers who love America and freedom. He has developed a strong connection with everyday hard working citizens. And, frankly he has a high level of common sense that disappeared long ago among the legacy establishment who now call themselves “woke.”

Fortunately for Americans, woke folks are completely disorganized. They have no leader or leadership. They have only one guiding principle: “Trump is always bad!” Their secondary principle is almost as dispicable: “Trump’s supporters are not as intelligent as woke folks.”

With continuing support from common sense Americans, President Trump will succeed in leading us all into prosperity. Page A2 Thursday, March 6, 2025 MAGNOLIA GAZETTE
