Dodged the collapse of the dollar.

Note Putin has apparently changed his tune and stated that Russia's BRICS effort would change.
That is if these reports are accurate:

The Supreme Court. Dems wanted to pack the court, with three to six additional justices, all on par with the leftist idiots already there- Sotomayor, Kagan and that ultimate DEI hire, Ketanji Brown-Jackson.

In my opinion that was the biggest bullet we dodged Para. I was prepared to choke down a Harris victory (due to your thread A message to all members and readers of the forum, regarding the upcoming election). Packing the court would have been a real problem for our Constitutional Republic. President Trump left a long lasting effect with his appointments that could have been terribly diluted. Every day I wake up I am seeing where he has learned how to improve on his first presidency.

Bald1 - This is one of the things I feared most with the Biden regime. Glad to see that Trump's re-election has tamped down that tendency with the Russians...

Amazing what happens when the adults are returned to power.

Thank goodness the RNC leadership was replaced by sensible folks and the election more closely represents the actual sentiment in the country. (Still looks like some shenanigans have gone on, but not nearly as much as in 2020).

Looking forward to some common sense in US leadership!

Puerto Rico and D.C. getting 2 senators each. And hopefully the bankruptcy of our country. Numbers are in and 250 Billion deficit in the FIRST month of the fiscal year. Elon better pull that brake hard and fast.

Complete overhaul of Dept of Education, specifically. It was a record amount of young people who voted, and much of that was because of Charlie Kirk and Turning Point.

Continued and expanded surveillance of MAGA supporters; leading inevitably to what is going on in the UK: being sent to prison for "hate speech" such as we indulge in here day in, day out.

Good lord, that is incredible, more than outstanding. Leadership and power yielded righteously is an amazing thing.

The ground game in PA, OH, and MI. For example:

In PA registering conservative voters

Picking an OH senator as running mate. Not only that, he is passionate and is skilled in media relations (thanks Marine Corps).

Gen Z came out huge for Trump. We can thank Charlie Kirk partially for that.

What I'm referring to was the cheating . All sorts of things went on last time . You're not hearing it this time . At least not nearly as much .

Laura Trump is the reason. She deployed over 230,000 poll observers and workers. 500 attorneys in every battleground state. Per her tweet on Nov 4th.

Making the European countries pay their share of NATO.
We rebuilt Europe after WW2 and have been paying a premium ever since, even after Germany and others had become modern and prosperous countries.
Now they need to step up.

For the last year or two, gas has been bouncing around between $2.69 and about $3.09. Today it was $2.47!

agreed,

Ronna McDaniel aka -Mitt Romney's niece, was a piece of crap that did nothing to stop it or even question it - worse decision, ever, putting her in charge of the RNC
