Daniel showed us what is below the surface of the iceberg our Titanic (Sanity) is close to hitting Is it too late for Trump to avoid hitting it? I only know that we don’t know what will be Trump’s checkmate move. Sometimes we see pawns being sacrificed as necessary to get there. We have no choice but give Trump all the support we can. I repeat Elie Weisel warning: “Silence is NOT an option” on every insanity we see.
Someone or ones are clearly advising Trump to "go wobbly" like George. It's arrant idiocy. Time to deport Omar and Mandami back to Africa. Arrest and prosecute anyone who so much as blows a whistle at ICE. Investigate the hell out of theft by pirates in Democrat satrapies and finally, punch in the face anyone shrieking about "Whipepo," "stolen land," "fascists" and other lunacy. All it's going to take is one citizen freaking out about being stopped and running down the lot of the savages or empty a magazine of 9mm bullets into them to light the flame. And do not despair because the rage is palpable and growing and it will happen.
Thank you. I fear the country has passed a tipping point. Each day, I wonder if there's a contribution to make by people like me... and I'm stymied, other than trying to write cogent commentary and make exposures. With the Admin's removal of 700 agents from Minneapolis, my vote obviously means close to zero. The Dem Party has all the earmarks of a domestic terrorist organization - and it's smashed right into all of our faces. I'm politically Independent (as registered). I'm not a Christian, so I don't fit the molds that the Left tries to apply. I'm certainly not a Nazi, but was called that repeatedly when I tried to engage "protestors" with rational conversation at a No Kings Rally. Try talking to some of those people sometime - formerly, I had only seen clips. It'll sober anyone up real quick, who isn't a manchild Leftist or Karen, and it is very distressing. This country might already be gone - I hope I'm wrong.
And all this in the context of the US being the western nation with the largest number of patriots and sane people, but still this is happening. The media have created this even more than the official Democrats have.
All true and yes, it needs to be said so thank you! While I agree that clamping down is needed, our liberal US judges stop or try to stop any attempt to stop this madness. Oh, and this part is so well-written: "The efforts against Brexit showed that ordinary people were not supposed to ever escape the networks that had been established, and not supposed to exercise a different choice."
I agree that things are bleak but I support Trump in his “slowly, slowly catchee monkey” approach. He has to take time to make sure that things don’t go off half-cock. Pending major actions include:
Criminal cases against the Dem-condoned massive frauds in Minnesota, California and elsewhere; indictments against the RussiaGate conspirators, most notably Obama and Hillary Clinton (plus UK involvement); criminal cases against the stolen 2020 election fraudsters, including Soros-linked UK involvement; action against the likes of George Soros (his team say they know who is funding the insurrections).
Despite being cautious (he says he never gambles), Trump has achieved huge success already.
"Like most people on the Right I’ve always wanted freedom, but freedom that allows communists, globalists and Islamists to operate as they are operating now is the certain path to the end of freedom for the rest of us."
That really does say it all. They are a cancer that has threatened our whole society and it needs to be removed. It would be nice if it were possible to do so through civil society, but I am afraid that ship has sailed. Force is now required.
History teaches a hard lesson: societies don’t slide into catastrophe because people are calm and rational. They slide when institutions lose legitimacy, language stops meaning anything, and citizens are told to accept lies as peace offerings. That’s when pressure builds—quietly, then all at once. 1789 and 1939 weren’t born from prosperity; they followed moral inversion, elite contempt, and the criminalization of dissent. When lawful remedies are mocked, when truth is punished, and when order is treated as oppression, instability becomes inevitable. The danger isn’t despair—it’s denial. The task now is channeling resolve into lawful force, reform, and clarity before history decides the timetable for us.
There is no measured response available to Trump. The TDS is so extreme, well, I don't need to spell it out for your readers.
So, in a world where every utterance is met with legal action at best and violence at worst, might as well go Full Metal MAGA, including on the feckless GOP. There is no downside to Just Doing Things (we're in a perpetual downside) there is only determined action to stave off the end.
For some reason depressed people or depressing essays, the "woe unto us" and "all is f*cked up" type, appeal to me and raise my spirits. It's always been my nature to see the bright side of most anything, probably because in essence I am simple minded. I like to simplify things, like the song "Accentuate the Postive," the best version of which is one sung by folksinger Dave Van Ronk, one of my favorites. If you can show gratitude for every breath you take, you can at least be content if not happy. One doesn't appreciate the pleasure of breathing until one suddenly chokes or has difficulty breathing. Deep breaths Jupp! Enjoy each one and consider the gift Hashem has given us by making it automatic, we needn't remember to draw breath, Hashem knew if each breath relied on conscious memory it would become a burdensome chore, the pleasure would be gone, until we forgot.
There lives in me this little flicker of hope: that the perpetrators of this evil exist in a Venn diagram that is virtually a circle within a circle. That the admin is working feverishly to create a Rico type Guiliani style takedown of all of them in one fell swoop.
Any prosecutions must be hermetically air tight. They are not only fighting imbedded bad actors they may not have even id'd yet, judges have been allowed to run amuck and effectively cancel every action taken so far and SCOTUS has done nothing to stop it.
On top of all of that, many were late to be confirmed, they are on a very steep learning curve for a job they've only been doing less than a year and the clock is ticking. All of this while under the microscope and tainted by the corrupt media and the waning enthusiasm of conservatives that hoped for a complete reversal of Biden's destruction in a very unrealistic timeline.
It's hard to keep the faith. But I'm choosing for now to give a little grace that we don't see it all and the reckoning is surely coming.
Yes those are fair points, but sadly doing everything exactly by the book is just as damaging for us as acting rashly, perhsos more so. Every minute of delay sees their Insurrection and insurgency increase.
That's coming, but first the tares must be exposed for the fire, and you're seeing that now. Before they can be destroyed, they must be flushed out of the woodwork, and they come out of the woodwork when they think they've gotten the victory.
Since January 2025, I have admonished the administration and its advocates to review the history of the responses of Abraham Lincoln to the challenges of his era. Obviously, they have not.
Terrific article Daniel. you're in your early 50s but I'm 82 and remember life in the 1940s/1950s/1960s when socialism was the hope for many after that devastating and costly war and imbued 'a right' to state dependency but personal freedom was still sacrosanct. Nationalised industry and services soon began to fail badly but limped on with liberal Conservative politicians until Margaret Thatcher blew it all away. We rejoiced at having a phone installed in days rather than months from the P.O. and a choice in gas appliances (see the Monty Python 'new cooker sketch' that perfectly encapsulates the state run gas board) but, sadly, in doing so, she also blew away manufacturing, the conservative restraints on rampant money-grubbing capitalists and lawyers, and respite from commerce on Sundays but by then, Fabianists occupied all the important public positions, levers, and influencers including the state broadcaster. Enter the vile young toothy Blair creature promising a clean sweep of Conservative corruption, greed, and failure. After 27 years the Blair cabal and the destruction of English life is now exposed to even the most blind with the odious Peter Mandelson disgraced and ostracised but the corrupt Marxist/globalist totalitarian power he helped to cement into Britain remains firmly in place which is like a chess game where the black side owns the board and can move any piece in any direction and number of squares but the infiltrated performative white side observing the rules but secretly dedicated to keep Blair's legacy intact with a young population unknowing of the past and the prison they are making for themselves and now China has a stake in the chess board. Nigel Farage performs well on stage but he's no Trump.
Thanks Derek. Yes Farage is weaker than Trump, and even Trump may be too weak to do what is needed now. David Starkey sees the Blair years as pivotal to this current dominance of evil in the UK, and he and you are right on that.
I’ve read his stuff now and then. Everything I’ve read is good from him but I haven’t had time to follow every piece. I hope the optimistic view is correct.
The best thing about this piece for me, is knowing that I'm not the only one who feels like things have gone very fucking wrong.
Tolerating the intolerant and 'the suicidal empathy' of universal human rights is destroying the West. I doubt this can be reversed democratically.
The sad truth is that it can’t be reversed unless we do to them what they have done to us.

Yes he still deserves our support, absolutely.

I'm angry. I'm a vet. I've removed toxic leftist family members and friends from my life . I carry everyday. RITC. plainsenseandsanity.substack.com.
I think vets have more right to be angry over all of this than any of us. Thank you for your service.

Thanks and yes judicial activism is one of the key blocks to action.

I hope you are right and we see those things. At the moment, we don’t.

I think they have been flushed out for years by now.
Since January 2025, I have admonished the administration and its advocates to review the history of the responses of Abraham Lincoln to the challenges of his era. Obviously, they have not.
Very true. Lincoln was a lot more brutally decisive. And in some ways with a lot less prior justification than Trump has had.

Great piece - thankyou. I recommend you follow Jeff Childers (Coffee & Covid) who is a bit more optimistic about where Trump's tactics are leading.
What if Epstein were to bring down the Clintons, for instance?
I’ve read his stuff now and then. Everything I’ve read is good from him but I haven’t had time to follow every piece. I hope the optimistic view is correct.
