Yeah, the jet deal looks kind of bad, but so does the Pres riding around in a 40-year old plane... The real scandal here is Boeing's failure to deliver a new Air Force 1.
Applying your theory to deportations, it is entirely essential to show the strength and vigor of the President and his team to the wrongs that Americans endured for an entire four years of enabling import of aliens into our land, removing the border patrol from their positions of vetting and preventing illegal entry and paying for their needs. A President who fights against wrongs endured has the respect of his citizens. Those who allow contempt for the wellbeing of the nation deserve contempt likewise. Chris- the “knowledge class” is nonexistent as a separate class, as is “educated” class. We’re reading your work.
I really like the ‘Do More. Say Less. Way Less!’ I was just thinking last night about how much Obama did, say on deportation, that wasn’t even questioned, simply because of his style. I think it was Thomas Sowell who remarked on how ‘pretty’ Obama talked. Trump is the opposite. He’s loud and blunt and often crude. While this is downright refreshing to many, it also creates a huge backlash that creates obstacles and delays. I absolutely get the point about wanting to change the ‘feminization’ of the culture. It is maddening. But it’s a reality and we need results to address how crazy things have become. Honestly, it’s starting to look like all the DEI crap and related GroupThink is so deeply imbedded, it will be impossible to root it out, even if Trump could do subtlety
Yes. It will. You can even say it is. Present tense. But exactly how do you propose accomplishing that? It’s not just ‘feminization. It is the propaganda fed to those who have lost (if they ever had) the ability to think critically, independent of what they are told by the group with whom they align. Remember ‘common sense’? Well, it has become increasingly uncommon.
And here’s the piece that really gets me. This didn’t just happen. It’s been going on for decades, well funded, starting in the universities, and spreading out to all other institutions, including government. By the time I realized something was happening, it just seemed silly. The pronouns. The modern areas of study in higher education. Liberalism run amuck. But only very recently did it become crystal clear that this isn’t a joke. It is deadly serious. So again, how exactly do you root it out?
I agree the damage is significant. But human beings have an amazing ability to bounce back or be "reborn." If JD Vance, or a similar Republican, success Trump and we have 12 years of the same concerted policies, people will change, and the new generation may start off on a new path
Here are the things needed:
1. Law and Order. If you commit a crime, the response should be immediate.
2. Strong campaign for MLK Jr's vision: We become color blind, and sex blind etc. Racism is doting on these factors and seeking some form of compensation.
3. Meritocracy: None of this DEI nonsense.
4. Reducing the Number of laws: The laws we have created just feed the insanity. My first mortgage in 1976 was perhaps 6-7 pages. The last one was 150+ pages. All this allows is for lawyers to live well. It has been said that the culture / values of a country can be judged by the fewer laws there are; that the citizens are trusted to do the right things. A good example: Japan.
5. I would vote gladly for term limits for elected representatives. 10 years of public service, maximum.
He’s effective. That’s all that matters. Remember Obama using Prosecutorial Discretion often to keep aliens from deportation. If I’m not mistaken, catch and release was in effect then, and again in the Biden administration.
Well stated.
Less showmanship; more concrete action.
Getting the Jet from Qatar - bad idea.
Picking on reporters - why? Just tell them to be quiet, Move on.
On deportation: time to move on. Just deport. Ignore the judges.
Do more, say less. Much less.
Your work is of profound importance Mr. Rufo. Thank you.

On deportations. I think they are making them ‘YUGE’ on camera to send a strong message to others that coming to America illegally is a VERY bad idea.

We have no choice; it must be rooted out. Otherwise the country will be destroyed.
