American Revolution 2.0: the shot that changed it all
World wars have started for far lesser reasons, what half an inch means to America and the rest of the globe. A great leader gives people heart.
About nine months ago, I was having lunch with my friend in the fight, Jeff Clark, who should be the next Attorney General or hold some other lofty position in the DOJ to completely restructure the judicial system. Clark served as Assistant Attorney General from 2018 to 2021 and has empirically experienced the abuses and overreach of the weaponized DOJ. He is a frequent guest on Steve Bannon’s War Room.
As I peppered him with numerous questions, my final one was, "Who is Trump picking as his VP?" At that point, Vivek, DeSantis, Haley, and other contenders for the GOP nomination were in full campaign mode. Jeff's unequivocal answer was: "Someone who does not get him killed." The VP pick had to be someone even less palatable than Trump, lest the shadow government perform a JFK on him. His response ruled out a plethora of candidates since most were establishment types.
Prior to Monday, I knew nothing about J.D. Vance, but I will make it a point to watch the movie based on his bestselling book, "Hillbilly Elegy." Given his underprivileged beginnings, he embodies the American dream. Elected in 2022 and sworn into office last year, his limited political résumé may actually come as a breath of fresh air. He is known to be smart, articulate, and red-pilled. A former Marine, Ohio State and Yale Law graduate, venture capitalist, wealthy businessman, and young father, his background should give us great hope for a potential VP. A successful businessman without political baggage is exactly what this country needs to restructure its failing institutions. Moreover, given his close relationship with Don Jr., it wouldn't be unreasonable to think he could continue the Trump legacy beyond POTUS 45-47. Vance brings youth, energy and buzz. The fact that the left and neocons are up in arms over his nomination warms my heart.
A few days ago, we came within half an inch of a Civil War. While many of us still believe the country's issues can be addressed through the ballot process, we are continuously frustrated by a corrupt FBI, DOJ, FDA, CDC, NIH, and other three letter agencies. If Trump had not survived the attempt, the belief that a kinetic revolution is the only way might have been confirmed. Lest we forget, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand by a lone radical started the First World War, and it’s understandable for everyone who is aware and cares to be at the end of their rope.
The puppet masters would love a civil war and chaos; there's never a better time to implement draconian and dystopian measures to exert more population control. Though Americans are heavily armed, the conservative and generally pro-Trump cohort chooses to remain temperate, prayerful, and hopeful. In fact, what did the crowd do while the attempt took place? They were concerned about Trump, they cheered when he fist pumped, and they prayed. Later they watched the news, they donated, and are organizing flag waving rallies. We are not the violent people they wish to portray.
This is in stark contrast to the other side, which calls for, condones, and funds violence—lest we forget the travesty of the summer of rage with Antifa and BLM demonstrations and devastation. The population that is brainwashed will riot, burn, destroy property, and kill.
PS: I always find the character in the circle quite fascinating but that is a topic for another rabbit hole 😉
Elon's tweet fully endorsing Trump for President, Tucker’s proclamation (min14:20), the outing of former closeted Trump supporters, and the electric exuberance of the RNC convention should encourage us that the nation has turned a corner. I find it fascinating to observe the journey of former skeptics such as Naomi Wolf, Megyn Kelly and even Dr. Robert Malone, who have now crossed the Rubicon and stand in our camp—maybe at the edges, but certainly over the line. Dastardly as it was, the assassination attempt might have just been the catalyst that brings the country together while identifying and marginalizing the true deplorables.
Personally I have been at ease for a long while. Insiders in the next administration provided certainty—months ago—that Trump would prevail. (For a real pulse of the electorate, I suggest you look up Richard Baris, his home is on Locals). Rest assured, for well over a year, a well-equipped infrastructure is being assembled to administer this country and rectify wayward government so that when Trump takes office, he will be ready to govern from day one.
A Trump victory will course correct the direction of the country, shrink the federal government and curtail its overreach. These are exciting times but we must ask: Who is legislating at the state and county level? Who is your sheriff? What curriculum is your school board choosing? Only with the participation of the population at large will the societal change needed in every community be achieved. Only by electing constitutional conservatives will we preserve our freedoms and secure them for the next generations. Local action will translate into national impact.

Father God,
We continue to be incredibly grateful for Your favor upon President Trump and for the hedge of protection that You erected around him to keep him alive. Years of prayers have been answered.
Lord, infuse J.D. Vance and his young family with courage and peace as they step into the new roles and paths that lie before them. Bless this nation with good leadership that holds Your vision for America in their hearts and minds. Protect them from opportunists, evil council, and those who would seek to harm them.
Lord, we are grateful that many eyes have been opened by this moment in history, and we are thankful to be witnesses and participants in these historic and momentous times.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
