Will 2026 repeat 2020?

So far 2026 has begun to look a lot like 2020. President Trump has thoroughly confused democrats and detractors with his actions here at home as well as around the world. He is wickedly unpredictable! None of his detractors could imagine moves he planned, much less how these moves worked in concert with other moves. It's hard to believe he's already served about 17 months this time around.

This year President Trump has been leading the country in celebrating our 250th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution and the beginning of our nation. Unlike Biden's and Obama's administrations, Trump's administration has included elements of faith that Democrats and other detractors have dismissed as unconstitutional based on separation of church and state.

In January 2025, President Trump shut down the border and ordered the Department of Homeland Security to deport the "worst of the worst" immigrants who had entered America illegally. Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) spread like a deadly pathogen through the ranks of Democrats, media, and other detractors. Nevertheless, Trump directed federal law enforcement to work with state and local law enforcement to quell crime and violence that sprung up in urban areas governed by weak-on-crime local administrations supported by weak judges and district attorneys.

Pockets of rioters have become more active across the nation as the weather has warmed. Immigrants who entered America illegally have been tied to many of these activities. And then, the Southern Poverty Law Center was outed as an organization that paid informers and activists to instigate racial violence. That's a nice gig if you can get it: instigate the very crimes and lawlessness you're organized to uncover.

State and local agencies that receive funding from Washington have managed to spread the wealth to government officials and fraudsters alike ... and I mean alike! Minnesota, California, and New York in particular have made government employees and community organizers richer than ever with our tax dollars. Billions of these dollars have found their way across the oceans to partners in fraud. The FBI, CIA and other federal law enforcement agencies are investigating federal agencies as well as members of congress.

Look for the summer of 2026 to reflect the summer of 2020 with daily riots in our cities. Blue cities and states are more likely to attract young rioters paid by notable woke millionaires and billionaires.

We're still dealing with the ever-volatile Middle East. Even though President Trump is barely into his second term trying to clean up all the mess left by Biden at home and in Ukraine, he has automatically become the source of all bad decisions in world politics and wars. Meantime nighttime comics have lost their jobs, or at least their rankings because of low ratings compared with various reruns of just about any other shows.

Fox comedian Greg Gutfeld continues to dominate the usual woke political commentators who have failed to develop any new ideas.

On the other hand, Americans should be able to find quality TV and Cable shows celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the greatest nation on earth today. The United States of America has a rich history of growing from 13 British colonies into a dominant nation of more than 330-million citizens. So far, the only competition are news shows about how bad we are.
