We’re back home.
I spent the weekend in Memphis with my friend James Edwards breaking down on The Political Cesspool the whirlwind of news that was President Trump’s first week back in office.
After what we saw last week, I don’t see how anyone in the movement could argue that Trump 2.0 isn’t off to a much better start than Trump 1.0. I’ve been following American politics for 25 years now and maintaining this blog for over 15 years. I don’t remember any president getting off to a stronger start. The blanket January 6 pardons alone was an extremely bold, aggressive and unexpected move.
Christian Secor, a pardoned January 6 prisoner, was on in the second hour to describe his experience. I spent the first and third hours with James and Keith trying to recap all of the news. We spent much of the weekend speculating about whether the past 25 years of being an underground movement is over. The Unite the Right rally in 2017 was a premature coming out party. It destroyed the Alt-Right.
This feels like a very different moment. “The Resistance” has collapsed. No one is brawling with Antifa. There are no free speech rallies or gladiators fighting with sticks engaged in pointless street theater. Instead, the action is coming from government agencies like DHS and ICE, and most of what we were calling for back then is now part of the mainstream political conversation.

I still think that Unite the right was a worth and brave act. Yes premature and yes it helped to destroy the alt right but still a good moment to be proud.
The big mistake was trusting a Jewish mayor to impartially enforce the law.
Big mistake was having an informant in their midst.
If Kessler hadn’t been informing ANTIFA it would have been a spectacular success.
The list of EOs has been undeniably impressive. It’s an impressive start and well beyond 2017. They came out so fast the gaslight media hardly had time to do much apart from their typical point and splutter. Good move and superbly played.
The enemy is now starting to fight back. That’s where we’ll get to see how serious the EOs are. Lady G is already whining about the January 6 pardons, the bloated governor Jabba of Illnoize sez he’ll have the poh-leece resist the fed agents sent to deport his loyal voters. If Trump uses his power to send in fed units to arrest Jabba and haul the creature’s enormous arse out in cuffs, it could be a sign he means business.
A 2025 supercar engine is useless if it’s mated to the transmission of a 1986 Honda Civic.
A saying in radio science is that the antenna is ten times more important than the radio.
In the analogy, personnel is the antenna and the transmission, and ideology is the engine and the radio.
Now everyone is finally starting to see what I’ve known for awhile, what these “Projects” that everyone was supposed to be hysterical about. It was all about personnel. There were legal reasons why these “Projects” had to lead with agenda and make it out at least on front street that they were all about agenda. When their real purpose was personnel (as policy).
“The Resistance” and Antifa have collapsed because the Gaza issue divided the left.
As long as Trump’s actions are more pro-peace than Kamala’s would have been, the left will remain weak and divided.
But if Trump does something stupid, such as support (with actions, not just words) a full scale ethnic cleansing of Gaza so that Kushner can build profitable waterfront settlements, then a new left-wing resistance will come roaring into life, far stronger than the old resistance ever was.
To prepare for this eventuality, we need to be crystal clear about our own antiwar bona fides. The moral high ground is our ONLY asset. We can never compromise on this, not for Trump or for anyone else.
Screw the left. Right now theyre looking like a bunch of female orangutans wringing their hands and bawling cause the alpha male just got toppled by a stronger coalition.
Trump is back, and this time he seems to understand leverage, which is the crux of all political power. You cant control a country properly when a bunch of ninnys have all the artillery. Obongo knew this, and Trump seems to have finally gotten it. Hegseth is a solid appointment, and the DEI slashes are great as well. All he needs to do to solidify his power is slash legal immigration from dark countries completely and its dusted. Greatest president of all time, other than perhaps Jackson or Coolidge.
Stay strong, brother.
Yes indeed, screw the left.
The best way to do that is by being true to our own nationalist ideals, especially immigration restriction and an America First foreign policy.
If we Trump delivers on those two objectives, he will deliver what Democrats can only promise:
Higher wages
Lower housing costs
Lower taxes at the state and local level where taxes are necessarily regressive (thus a tax system which is, as a whole, more progressive).
World peace and justice for the Palestinians (Israel would agree to a fair deal if we stopped subsidizing their Jewish supremacy and expansionism).
When Trump decided to concentrate on the “peace candidate” theme in the last week of the election, he guaranteed his victory, especially in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
When he retweeted the Jeffrey Sachs video, he threw the establishment off balance.
When he forced Israel to accept a ceasefire (to the dismay of Itamar Ben Gvir, who resigned in protest) and prevented the ADL from censoring TikTok, he fully exposed the establishment Democrats for what they really are: Jewish supremacists.
Basically, there are two types of leftists – sincere egalitarian leftists who trace their roots to the French Revolution, and Jewish supremacists who spawn leftist political and intellectual movements as a strategy for strengthening Jewish power (see Kevin MacDonald’s Culture of Critique for full details).
When Trump took a bold stand for peace and free speech, he brutally exposed the contradiction between these two types of leftism. That is the explanation for HOW the new alpha male took charge.
Very happy what Mr Musk is doing with British/ European politics!
Win!
God Bless Dixie!
Just wait.
He did that Roman Salute and the knives are being sharpened. Watch banks start pulling his loans and his company financial structure to crumble. Watch for lots of coordinated bad press , also.
