Why Did Donald Trump Win?

1 Comment

Of late there has a boat load of conjecture by a bevy of analysts as why the impossible happened. The MSM has even resorted to blaming us, the people, for lying or deceiving them about who we were for, which led them to happily assume “H” would move to the White House again. I have even posted some of my assumptions as to why this historic event played out.

A friend sent me this open letter via email, which I believe explains it in terms that maybe, just maybe, our participation trophy-trained generation might be able to comprehend. But then, maybe not since they know better because their parents raised them that way. You decide. I can’t wait for 1/20/2017, but I will begrudgingly have to —   sixty-two days and counting!

The letter comes from

Chris Bitterlin, Mooresville, NC 28117

Dear all,

Four years ago, I sent along my View from the Porch after Mitt Romney lost to President Obama. I had suggested that the Republican party needed to reinvent itself due to changing demographics in the electorate. I did not envision a candidate like Donald Trump emerging as the nominee for the party and I seriously doubt that anyone else did either. I had always felt that the great American experiment called Democracy had, at its core, the ability to straighten out the snake when it weaved itself too far left or right. As of last Tuesday evening as late as 10PM, I also thought that the snake had veered so far off course that it was hopelessly lost.  Two hours later, the wisdom of those who designed the republic 240 years ago emerged as the people chose a new leader. To those who could never vote for Donald Trump because of the public comments about women and others, I get it and many others do as well. This election, however, was clearly about far more existential issues than distasteful and politically incorrect comments by one candidate or the other.

I have no data nor have I researched such regarding the underlying miracle behind the Trump election but I am offering my opinion. I think that it goes much deeper than low voter turnout for Hilary.

The miracle I believe lies in a fictional character whom I am going to name Clarence (our dog’s name and also a wonderful character in a movie we all know). Clarence is a guy who lives in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, or North Carolina. He gets up every day and transports our goods, fixes our broken pipes, erects buildings in the middle of winter, maintains our power plants, operates a small business that is struggling to survive, patches our roofs in freezing temperatures and, in addition to working 60 hours/week, really contributes to our tax base. In years past, Clarence may or may not have participated in the electoral process because he was either too busy scratching out a living on election day and he could not make it to the polls or was simply too tired to go at the end of the day. Clarence is the heart and soul of our great nation, Donald Trump knows that and Clarence decided to participate and vote for him on Election Day. Clarence was also motivated by his questions about and objection to the far left direction that Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid had taken the country and other things that he did not understand or agree with as follows:

1)  Clarence is trying to figure out for what Black Lives Matter is asking. Juries similar to the OJ trial, reparations 160 years later, their more convenient version of the truth? Even Hilary on a hot microphone asked BLM the same question. And, he is trying to figure out what Al Sharpton wants other than chaos.

2)  The coddling of students at Yale, Berkeley and other institutions of “higher learning” who demand “safe spaces” for protection. Clarence does not have a safe space when he is welding steel 20 floors up in January in Cleveland. And, Clarence’s good friend in the Navy Seals does not have a safe space in the mountains of Afghanistan either while he fights to defend the First Amendment right for the Yale student to speak his/her mind.

3)    Why is he paying more and more for his healthcare while Obama brags about the number of new Obamacare enrollees who are covered but who pay nothing for premiums nor contribute to the tax base?

4)  Why is he struggling to make ends meet, paying his taxes when 50% of the population contributes nothing and expects everything? He found the time just recently to learn about how that worked out for Greece and he thinks it can certainly happen here as well. As smart as he is, he cannot get his arms around $20 TRILLION (and rising) in national debt.

5)  Why do we have sanctuary cities who create a safe harbor for those who break the laws that we have? Clarence doesn’t want to raid every house in America with illegal immigrants, just those who are felons and drug dealers.

6)  Why was he a victim of hate when he chose to wear his Trump hat to the local school play in which his kids were performing? Contrary to what the left had screamed, Clarence does not hate Hilary supporters, black people, Hispanics, women or Muslims (unless you are an Islamic terrorist in which case he does hate you). He is too busy working, supporting his family and paying his taxes to be filled with hate.

7)  He does not care what LeBron, Jay Z, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Robert DeNiro, Barbara Streisand, Rosie, Tom Hanks and Colin Kaepernick think about anything. Just shut up and play, sing or act.

8)  He has no idea how protesters and agitators have the time and the money to disrupt civil society. He presumes that they are very young, have only heard one point of view their entire lives and pay little or nothing in taxes. By the way, he does not hate them either unless they block his route to work to earn his paycheck.

9)  Clarence dismisses those who push us to Socialism and despises those who support the KKK. This year, he found the time and energy to watch the major networks, MSNBC, CNN and Fox News. He wondered why there was a disparity in presentations of the candidates. And, for the life of him, he cannot figure out why so many are so diametrically opposed to listen to an opposing point of view. He remembers that Nancy Pelosi actually had proposed to shut down conservative talk radio. Clarence would oppose equally any desire by the elites (who try to tell him how to think and behave) to shut down Rachel Maddow or Sean Hannity.

10)  He took the time to ponder the cumulative impact of the academic class running the country, many of whom had never signed a paycheck for another worker nor created a single job. Law professors, community organizers and career politicians simply do not understand the responsibility nor reward in doing that. They all talked about “helping” Clarence but the policies did the exact opposite.

11)  He does not hold a grudge against billionaires unless they are hypocrites, supporting the Paris Agreement and crisscrossing the country in their G-5’s. He likes the billionaires who build things, start businesses and hire guys like Clarence to complete those projects, make those businesses successful and to whom all the credit is given.

12) And, FINALLY, he is hoping that some degree of fiscal sanity and deregulation will ignite the economic engine that will propel Clarence to have a better life for him and his family.

So, those of you and your friends who may be “terrified or scared” (I have heard both since the election) with a Trump presidency, I can only remind you of how the left branded Ronald Reagan as Ronnie “Ray Gun” back in 1976 when Gerald Ford was the Republican nominee. I think that he was the greatest American President in my lifetime and, like no other post WW II, one who turned around a country going nowhere at the time. Given his affinity for President Reagan, I suspect that a President Trump will be a lot more like him and less like Donald the campaigner. We all owe my friend and Trump voter Clarence and President-elect Trump an open mind and certainly patience as he navigates his way through the Washington swamp.

Many in this country judge the quality of our people by where they went to college, how many degrees they might have, how much money they have made, etc. That is all fine and many on this email have passed that “test”. Donald Trump, however, made it very clear and said many times that guys like Clarence, members of our military and our veterans among others who work hard, may have little or no higher education, have not accumulated great wealth and, most importantly have taken care of their families are “great” people. The billionaire with a degree from Penn understood that and Clarence believed him. That is why he won the election. Thanks for the indulgence and, God willing, I will chime in again in 2020. In the meantime, fingers crossed.

Love to all and God Bless America,

Chris

Dear College Cupcakes

3 Comments

Once again Mr. Starmann presents us with a superb piece filled with facts, not innuendos, or suppositions. Our college grads, in general are pussies, pampered spoiled children who lack an educational foundation to enable think logically; they have been stained by a system that tells them they are important and have been given participation trophies all their lives. And now they are unable to grasp what has just happened. The MSM convinced them she was going to win, and the pollsters even added to it. Now OMG, what has happened to my world, I do not know what to do is their cry. Someone lied to me and told me I am loser for the first time in my life, and I cannot  handle it.

None of the historical events to which Mr Starmann speaks means squat to these kids — they were never taught about them by their Kool Aid drinking teachers nor their do-good, helicopter parents. I doubt that many of them can even identify what the first and third photos depict. What a shame, and it’s frightening to think unless there is a dramatic 180 in our education system and the treatment of these un-gifted zombies, they will be the leaders of tomorrow. America, we have our work cut out for us.

An open letter to America’s college cupcakes on Veterans Day

By Ray Starmann

Dear College Cupcakes:

America has watched for the last year or so, as our nation’s universities have been consumed by a new strain of left wing totalitarianism that has all the traits of the haunting Marxist dictatorships of the past.

Free thought and expression and discussion are disappearing from college campuses and being replaced by behavior and lexicons out of 1984.

In the greatest arenas of free speech across this land, you shriek and howl and cry and stamp your feet like two year olds when someone disagrees with you.

You have mental meltdowns when reading passages from the world’s greatest literature that somehow offend you in every conceivable way, shape or form.

You feel oppressed and terrorized when viewing someone in a Halloween costume that you dislike.

You are triggered by opposing views from Presidential candidates, who do nothing more than say things that you may disagree with.

When triggered by every imaginable word, phrase and action on this planet, you find it necessary to retreat to so-called safe spaces, where you will be further coddled by counselors, Play Doh and Bubble Guppy videos.

Like raving martinets, you accuse anyone you disagree with of being a racist, a rapist, a sexist or any other derogatory term you can create to soothe your tender and warped psyches.

You have been told for your whole lives how special you are and these fantastical words have been reinforced by the ridiculous behavior of helicopter parents and idiotic teachers who found it necessary to control every facet of your lives and ensure that each of you precious little snowflakes received a trophy, even though many of you only deserved a kick in the behind.

Your latest irrational tirades concern the election of PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP. Inspired by the lunatic behavior of your socialist professors, you are the laughing stock of the rest of the country as you hold cry-ins, need therapy dogs and hide under the covers in your dorm rooms because a man was elected President.

Today is Veterans Day, when we honor those who served, which I have no doubt none of you ever have. The nation particularly honors our combat veterans who drained deep the chalice of courage and who fought against real racists, like the Nazis; real boogeymen like the Imperial Japanese Army, the Chinese, Victor Charlie, the Republican Guard and the Taliban.

Today, at this very moment, as you tearfully meltdown because Donald Trump is our next President, our current military is in harm’s way in Mosul, fighting real sexists who call themselves ISIS.

King George, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Saddam, these were real threats, some of the greatest madmen the world had ever seen and our veterans fought and defeated them in hot and cold wars.

dirty-grunt

Our veterans, men and women, many of whom were your age at the time they served, never had the luxury to wallow in self-pity over imagined nonsense and monsters.

Their threats weren’t created in the hallowed ivory towers of Harvard Yard. Their threats were created in the British Parliament, in Bavarian beer halls, in jungle outposts and jettisoned across the globe to cause havoc and death. The only thing that stopped them, the only thing that prevented the world from descending into darkness was the US military and our veterans.

There were no safe spaces on Iwo Jima or Omaha Beach. There were no cry-ins on Bunker Hill or at the Frozen Chosin. There were no counselors in the Ia Drang Valley or at Khe Sanh. There was no time to protest imaginary enemies at Fallujah. The enemies were real and were doing their damnedest to kill Americans and destroy our way of life.

As I stated, our enemies were fighting against Americans who were mainly your age. I and many Americans have serious doubts that you aggrieved marshmallows could rise to the occasion and fight anyone, much less the Redcoats or the Waffen SS.

revolutionary-war

How and why America has gotten to a point where being a wimp is looked upon as normal behavior for young people is the subject of another article and a disgrace in itself.

Instead of claiming half the nation is racist for voting for Donald Trump, you precious little snowflakes might want to get off your asses and read about men who overcame real prejudice and racism and fought for their country; like the Tuskegee Airmen.

Instead of being offended by words in books, you precious little cupcakes might want to step out of your safe spaces and read about American matadors at places like Trenton, the Wheatfield, Seminary Ridge, the Meuse-Argonne, the Bulge, New Guinea, 73 Easting and Tal Afar.

As for the election, get used to saying President Trump.

Suck it up buttercups.

FINALLY – a beacon of sanity?

duncan-hunterI don’t want to boast. . . . .  er . . . . . . yes I do. What else would you expect from a Marine? He’d make a great SecNav or even DOD. Personally, I just like him to be SecDef so he could overturn all the idiotic things that Ash and Trash Carter and POS Ms. Mabus instituted during their watches. They have not done one thing that improved the fighting abilities of our men and women. Everyone of their initiatives was nothing but  social engineering of the military and to weaken them.

Trump adviser says military needs counter-revolution, reverse social engineering policies

A key congressional supporter of Donald Trump says the president-elect’s defense secretary should move quickly to reverse a number of social engineering policies adopted in the Obama years that “have cut down on the warrior mentality.”

Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, told The Washington Times that the armed forces need a counter-revolution.   It should reverse at least three policies: women in the infantry, open transgender troops and the near-banishment of the word “man” from Navy and Marine Corps titles.

Mr. Hunter, a high-profile member of House Armed Services Committee, was one of the first in Congress to back Mr. Trump. He co-chaired the New York real estate magnate’s congressional leadership committee and promoted Mr. Trump in op-eds and media interviews.

The Trump transition team is considering Mr. Hunter for Navy secretary or even secretary of defense, a huge stepping stone for a 39-year-old former Marine Corps major.

Here is Mr. Hunter’s Pentagon agenda:

  • Reverse the December decision by Defense Secretary Ashton Carter to open direct land combat jobs in the infantry and special operations to women.

Mr. Hunter said Mr. Trump should follow the recommendation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford.

Gen. Dunford was the Marine commandant when he recommended continuing the gender ban for infantry and special operations forces, citing Corps studies that show mixed-sex units are inferior to all-male. Mr. Carter and Navy Secretary Ray Mabus rejected his advice.

“Chairman Dunford has been in multiple combat tours,” Mr. Hunter said. “Probably the smartest person in the military, period, and he said leave special ops and infantry out of it. What’s happening now is, again, we’re taking our eyes off the ball and going down on these side roads.”

The Army and Marines are in the early stages of trying to mold women into the infantry. No woman has applied to be a Navy SEAL, and one failed at becoming a Green Beret.

“It doesn’t do anything to further our capacity as war fighters,” Mr. Hunter said of adding women in direct land combat roles. “It doesn’t do anything to make us more effective or efficient at getting the job done and killing our enemies and protecting our allies. It’s just a distraction. It’s not like there are thousands of women getting into the infantry now. It will never be that way.”

  • Nullify the June 30 decision to open the ranks to transgender service members and fund their sex-change procedures.

The Pentagon issued a detailed transgender manual that dictates the responsibilities of medical staff and commanders to shepherd troops through the counseling and medical process.

“Ridiculous,” Mr. Hunter said. “Overturn it immediately because it doesn’t make any sense. How does that help you fight and win wars? That’s what I think Trump is going to bring to this — some common sense. Period.”

“Having transgender operations paid for by the U.S. taxpayer is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard of because it doesn’t do anything to help America project power or to fight and win its wars. Nothing. There’s no upside to it whatsoever,” the congressman said.

  • Overturn the liberal agenda of Mr. Mabus, a Democrat and former governor of Mississippi.

In particular, Mr. Hunter said, the Trump team should revoke Mr. Mabus’ September order to remove historic job descriptions, such as hospital corpsman and yeoman, from Navy enlisted ratings. Mr. Mabus also removed the word “man” from titles, though he left the rating “seaman” for the bottom three enlisted ranks.

Under Mr. Mabus’ edict, the Marine Corps also ditched the title of “man,” converting infantryman to infantry Marine.

“It’s the politicization of the Navy and trying to chip away at the war-fighting mentality,” Mr. Hunter said. “Liberals like Ray Mabus are offended by the war-fighter mentality. You can call it ‘manliness.’ You can call it ‘roughneck,’ kind of people who fight America’s wars. I think they offend liberal sensibility, the liberal sensibilities of the Obama administration and Mabus in particular.”

  • Ship naming.

Mr. Hunter also has been a persistent critic of Mr. Mabus’ theme of naming warships after liberal Democratic activists, such as farm labor leader Cesar Chavez and gay rights advocate Harvey Milk. He said it is not too late to remove those names in favor of naval combatants or trailblazers.

“There are a lot of great people you can name ships after that would give the sailor pride to sail on that ship. Harvey Milk isn’t one of them,” Mr. Hunter said.

“Why not go the Medal of Honor route?” he said. “If they are going to break tradition, why not go, ‘OK, we’re going to name them all after war fighters or great sailors or great leaders within the Navy or great explorers — people that had an impact when it comes to ocean-going?’ There’s plenty of people to name ships after.”

The Obama administration defends its emphasis on social change in the ranks.

Chicago Cubs are being forced to give up their World Series title.

Cleveland  Indians fans have rioted across the country in protest of the 2016 World  Series. Despite knowing the rules of the game prior to playing, they were  unhappy they lost and demanded the outcome to be changed. They could be  heard chanting “Not Our World Series Champion” all across  America.

Even though the Cubs won 4 games and the Indians only won 3, since the Indians scored more total runs throughout all 7 games, they  are being declared World Co-Champions.

When questioned,  Commissioner Manfred stated, “We felt as though it was the right thing to do  for the nation. What kind of example would Major League Baseball be setting  if we expected the adults who play this game, and their fans, to gracefully  accept defeat? Instead of creating a bigger divide between the Cubs and  Indians, MLB is confident that the Cubs will gladly share their victory with  the Indians.

Flush the Cesspit

Always did like Robert Davi, now I like him even more. Wow, he sure hits some great points.

 

Actor, singer, and Breitbart News contributor Robert Davi dropped in on Tuesday’s Breitbart News Daily for what SiriusXM host Alex Marlow described as a “victory lap” after Donald Trump’s election win.

robert-davi-twDavi described the election as a “cultural, emotional, spiritual shift.”

“It’s the soul of America,” he said. “It’s what I said, I think, June 16th, when I wrote the first article about Donald Trump, right after he gave his speech at Trump Tower, and he came down, and he announced that he was running. Everyone else thought it was, you know, either a joke or ridiculous or whatever that was – except a bunch of us. This is a battle for the soul of America, Alex – as you can see, even in terms of what’s happening now in the media, the attacks on Steve Bannon.”

Davi said it was “powerful and wonderful” to see Donald Trump’s presidency fulfilling Andrew’s “what’s happened, what the Democrats have done, they’ve gerrymandered the whole election process by breaking us down into special interests, unweaving the tapestry of E Pluribus Unum into this kind of separatist thing,” he said, tweaking the Democrats for their current obsession with gerrymandering as an alleged Republican tool for rigging elections.

“And then education, starting with Bill Ayers,” Davi continued. “The whole dictum of Bill Ayers in the sixties was bringing down every institution, meaning law enforcement. They were blowing them up at the time. Now what they’re doing is, they blew them up from inside.”

“The subversive infiltration that our youth has had is astounding. I’ve got five kids out there, Alex. I’ve seen how education has been indoctrinated over the last several decades. My twins that are 15 now, they go to private Catholic school, but still when they go to public school – my one son went to public school for a couple of years – it was astounding to me the indoctrination that they were receiving,” he said.

“We will lose this country. This was it. This was our shot,” Davi warned. “Now, I believe we have to attack education, not only the media again and expose them for what they are. I’m in Toronto right now because I have to do a concert Friday night, and they don’t have Fox at this hotel. They had just CNN. And I’m gonna tell you, I’m watching that news network – if I just had CNN, if I didn’t have Fox, you’d be so drugged into a kind of absolute brainwash, that they do one after another after another. Even their pundits that they have, to take the opposing side, are nice people, but their positioning, or the way that they combat the other announcers, is very weak.”

“So we’re having exactly what Andrew had said. We’re seeing that come to fruition now. It’s been exposed over the years. This is what we have to battle for,” he said.

Davi’s travels gave him reason to worry about America’s standing in the world and hope that Trump might be able to restore it.

“I was in Turkey just a couple of weeks ago. I gave a concert there for their Academy Awards,” he recalled. “They had a lot of American stars there. I was sitting at lunch, and they knew; they were hip. They knew that I was for Donald Trump. And a lot of these reporters were talking to me about it. Then they secretly said, ‘You know, we like Trump a lot; we’re for him, too.’ And they wrote a story that just came out two days ago in Turkey, three days ago, that was very favorable. But the odd part about it all is when Erdogan, when Turkey had the coup attempt, Trump has property there. People that worked on that property told me what a great guy he was.”

“This happened to me everywhere I traveled, in Germany and different places: Italy, Estonia, Latvia, Sweden, Budapest. The worldview that Hollywood gives of how certain other countries perceive America is so biased. They’re not getting the real story,” he said.

In a recent column for Breitbart News, Davi discussed how Donald Trump can “revive Reagan’s informed American patriotism.” Marlow asked him to define that brand of patriotism and how America can get back to it.

“The final speech that Reagan gave America, when he left the White House, and the final point he wanted to make, was that he was worried that the new American patriotism that his administration, his eight years had engendered, and the feeling of that – in other words, all these Trump rallies, this America First feeling, for the first time we’ve had that in, I don’t know how many years, we’ve had a feeling that America can come back,” Davi said.

“That feeling is what Ronald Reagan left the country with,” he explained. “He said that he was worried that through education, are we doing enough in education around the dinner table, in our public discourse, in our culture? Will we continue to do enough to not be besieged by an American amnesia? Because we’ve been indoctrinated. The kids have been confused. Again I go back to, just look at the news on CNN, or MSNBC. It takes part of history, distorts it, and then lobotomizes or removes the other aspect that would balance it out. It’s almost like what radical Islam does. It’s another form of radical Islam, what the Left does, in a politicized way. It’s just the gutting out of a nation,” he contended.

“So how do we get back to that? Donald Trump has already started to do that. It’s amazing what the movement has done and what Breitbart has been doing over the years. That’s been an informed patriotism. Absolutely that. But then you’ve had other offshoots of that. I’m astounded that the Glenn Becks of the world, and the Dana Loeschs of the world, just because of their own prejudice – you see, the networks don’t even tell you Former This of That. They don’t give you a background on who’s speaking about what,” he complained.

“We have to get into education. If Newt Gingrich was – let’s put it this way – special adviser to education, and Newt Gingrich along with Donald Trump created a program of education from preschool on, of American history, American civics, to put back into our universities and to our schools – our high schools, our elementary schools – starting from preschool, so we can have this new informed patriotism,” Davi advised.

He compared the problem of mass immigration without assimilation to the ocean being contaminated by an oil spill, since the two fluids will not blend, but neither can they be easily separated.

“By not having an immigrant population assimilate into our nation, they can’t vote correctly. They can be indoctrinated and lied to,” he contended. “And that’s what’s happening to the youth. That’s why we have these riots, besides the ones that are being paid. It’s because these kids at an early age have been taught and have been indoctrinated. I call it the feminization of America. It’s not just a gender thing. It’s not just a male-female thing. I mean, the strength of America has been taken away because of this lack of American exceptionalism, that they just want to talk about warts and all.”

Davi recalled an eighth-grade orientation speech he attended with his daughter a decade ago at a “good private school,” in which a teacher made it sound as if the focus of the “warts and all” American history curriculum would be on the warts, and the teacher was very much looking forward to dwelling on them.

“I couldn’t hold myself back any longer,” he recalled. “I said, ‘Excuse me, when you say you’re going to look at America from all angles, and then warts and all, it’s like you prefaced that as if that was going to be the main thing.’ I says, ‘America is an exceptional nation.’ This is now eight or nine years ago with my daughter in school. And he said, ‘Well, well, well, what I meant was, we’re gonna take a look at this and that and the other thing.’ I can’t tell you how many parents came up to me and said quietly, ‘Thank you for speaking up because that got us concerned.’”

“That’s what they’re doing in our education,” Davi warned. “It’s … concerted – make no mistake about it. It’s absolutely just the same thing they’re doing in media. Van Jones and these guys that are coming on these CNN shows with such a bias. They should have a tattoo on their foreheads, so this way, when someone speaks, we can see where they’re really coming from.”

Davi stressed that American culture was in need of repair, along with the education system: “Back in the day, you had TV that had family values. There was family values. Now we have the deconstruction of family values in popular culture. That’s what’s hip and easy. So they deconstruct family values, over and over again, and people are confused.”

Davi said many in Hollywood are not taking the election results well, citing Robert DeNiro’s outburst that Trump’s victory made him “feel like I did after 9/11,” and Bryan Cranston’s heated reaction to Election Day (although Cranston has reportedly changed his stance and now wishes Trump “success” at “unifying our wounded country”).

“And Bill Maher – I mean, look at this absurdity, look at this absolute absurdity. I did not agree at all with President Obama when he was elected. I did not agree philosophically, but I respectfully disagreed. I wrote about it on Breitbart. I wrote about it at the Hill. I met President Obama. I said, ‘God bless you, Mr. President.’ There was not one bit of vitriol or wanting to see him fail. I didn’t want to see him fail. These guys are calling for subversive action against our President-elect of the United States,” he said incredulously.

“They misread him since Day One, which was astounding,” Davi said of Hollywood. “And now, they’re attacking Steve Bannon. Now, they’ve got to find something to attack. It is such a cesspit. It’s a cesspit that needs to be flushed in some way because they’ve been indoctrinated. There is something so infecting, and what I think it is, Alex, they’re pure globalists, you see.”

He noted that Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin has purchased six major Hollywood studios, accelerating a globalist trend that benefits top Hollywood talent and financiers, but leaves the many lower-level people involved in film production out in the cold.

“He just bought Dick Clark productions. He already owns a lot of it. They’re building an $8 billion studio in China. Now, that’s all good for Bryan Cranston, and de Niro, and myself. They can hire me for a film, and I can fly there. But what about the key grips? What about them? What about the makeup artists? What about the transportation guys? What about the set builders? What about the dry cleaners, and the restaurateurs?” Davi asked.

“There are two big exports America had: wheat, and American entertainment, besides the car industry,” he observed. “So they’re globalists, you see? And all the studio heads and the directors, all the above-the-line guys, can go anywhere. They’re needed. They don’t give a red rat’s ass about the American worker.”

He said the Republicans were clearly becoming the party of the forgotten American worker, in what he described as an “amazing shift.”

“What Donald Trump has done is, he has just extended this whole Republican party. He’s rejuvenated the Republican Party. He’s given it a rebirth. Believe it,” said Davi. “I left the Republican Party. I became an independent, more than several years ago, because of the frustration. I had gone on Hannity many years ago, saying that both the Left and the Right have failed America. I wrote O’Reilly an email before 9/11 saying we need another Boston Tea Party because the frustration that I saw happening in our government, slowly, this incremental frog – put the frog in the pan and turn up the heat – no one had done anything. No one had said anything.”

He saw this frustration as the genesis of the Tea Party movement and saluted Andrew Breitbart as one of the few who saw and understood Americans’ growing disenchantment with their political class. However, the signs were there long ago, for those who cared to look, as Davi recalled reading a New York Times article about mass layoffs in the steel industry that “scared the hell” out of him because the laid-off workers were expected to deal with the loss of 25-year careers.

“And then my own dad lost his job after 20-something years, and he had to go do something else,” Davi recalled. “So I saw that firsthand. It started slow, the dissolvement of the American worker and our industries and everything leaving America, being sold, whatever it was. Globalism was on the march.”

“This, to me, is why these Hollywood types, they have no concern. They don’t see past their nose. They don’t see past their cultural little circle.
