AMERICAN SPIRIT/TRUMP/MAGA WORLD-Not Just Surviving but prevailing
NOTE 11/8/26: This Dittoville/Michelle-Antoinette mailing is limited to just the American Spirit post below, leaving the other usual observations about America Under Siege for later in the week. I and probably most of us need to let the dust settle a bit.
Our flag is still there.
UPDATE 11/8/26: The news is pretty bad, catastrophic actually, and the finger-pointing has begun in earnest. A Dem Party super-majority in both the House and Senate almost guarantee a Trump impeachment and removal from office not to mention passage of every threat they’ve been making of late: statehood for PR and DC, abolishing the Electoral College, total nationalization of healthcare (Medicare For All), a packed Supreme Court filled to overflowing with radical Leftists paving the way for every other item on their long, subversive, radical agenda. Borders opened wide again to millions of New Democrats and solidly red states like Texas and Mississippi gone deep blue make future national elections a rigged farce, GOP power a thing of the past. The list of other consequences of complete Dem/Socialist power is detailed and scary.
The mind reels, and true patriots feel a real fear for America. As difficult as it is to hear, it’s hard to take issue with almost anything Matt Walsh expresses here.
Was it Trump losing touch with his base, betraying his America First promise? Was it Israel pushing war on the Mullahs? “Affordability” and inflation, the resultant high gas and general living costs? Is Matt unreasonable to state that the potential damage done to us by far Left totalitarianism dwarfs anything a nuclearized rogue state could inflict? Think of the popular analogy drawn between Hiroshima and Detroit, the former once a nuclearized ash heap, now risen phoenix-like into a capitalist paradise; the latter once the ultimate capitalist paradise, now a hellhole barely fit for human occupancy.
There’s no escaping the grim reality of the present. But imagine the reality of George Washington’s time and his thoughts:
“We should never despair, our Situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth new Exertions and proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times.”
(Letter to Major General Philip Schuyler – Tuesday, July 15, 1777)
Likewise, imagine Churchill’s dilemma, most of the European continent conquered, London under nightly bombing attacks, totally leveled in spots. His thoughts written in retrospect:
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” (The Gathering Storm, 1948)
We must honestly face the mistakes made and waste minimal time blaming our deaf & blind fellow citizens, millions of voters who have taken to the most suicidal ideas, entrusting their lives and ours to the worst power-mad scoundrels. For the solitary, individual soul, there must be the courage to determine the facts and firmly embrace the truth in our perception of a world gone crazy and make that truth the lens through which we live our lives and choose our leaders. This is not romantic sermonizing but actually the way real people in war, on the battlefield or within the safety of their homes, have managed to hold on to hope. And, this IS war and must be waged as such, with unrelenting, ideally non-violent debate and, when all other means (including enforcement of law) are exhausted, with the gun & sword. Things could be much darker for most of us at this point; and God willing, there will be encouraging lights yet to glimmer with increasing intensity down what is going to be a long, dark tunnel.

In the end, it is human frailty that allows us to stray from the path of truth and righteousness. But we are all great when drawing upon the best that is in us.
