[Order David Horowitz’s new book, America Betrayed, HERE.]
Most Americans believe it is unhinged to deliberately destroy the border and allow 10 million illegal aliens to enter the country without background audits, means of support, any claims to legal residency, and definable skills. And worse still, why would federal authorities be ordered to release repeat violent felons who have gone on to commit horrendous crimes against American citizens?
Equally perplexing to most Americans is borrowing $1 trillion every 90 days and paying 5-5.5% interest on the near $36 trillion in ballooning national debt. Serving that debt at current interest exceeds the size of the annual defense budget and may soon top $1 trillion in interest costs, or more than 13% of the budget.
Why would the United States suspend military aid to Israel as it tries to destroy the Hamas architects of the October 7 massacres? Why would it lift sanctions on a terrorist Iran? Why would it suppress Israel’s response to Iran’s missile attack on the Jewish homeland? Why would it prevent Israel from stockpiling key munitions as it prepares to deal with the existential threats posed by Hezbollah?
Why would the Biden administration cancel key pipeline projects and put vast swaths of federal lands rich in oil and gas off limits to production, even as it further drains the strategic petroleum reserve? Why not pump rather than drain our own oil from strategic stockpiles?
Why would the Biden White House’s counsel’s office meet with Nathan Wade, the former paramour chief prosecutor in the Fani Willis Fulton County prosecution of Donald Trump? Why would the third-ranking prosecutor in the Biden Justice Department step down to lead Alvin Bragg’s Manhattan prosecution of Donald Trump? Why would the Biden Justice Department under Attorney General Merrick Garland select Jack Smith as a special prosecutor of Donald Trump—given his past failures as a special counsel and known political biases?
Nihilism only explains so much. A better explanation is that the Biden administration and its handlers knew that there was a good chance that most of their policies would prove unpopular and might even jeopardize Biden’s reelection.
But they also were confident the changes were of such magnitude that the United States would either become—in the infamous phrase of Barack Obama—“fundamentally transformed” or force the next Republican administration to adopt such tough medicine that it would prove untenable politically and the malady would still prove mostly impossible to undo.
After all, how would a Trump administration deal with 10 million illegal aliens who entered the US without audit or legality? Where are they? How would they be found and deported? How many court suits in blue-jurisdictions before blue judges would have to be overcome?
The country has become accultured to a nonexistent border. And so, the left assumes, it would be expensive and difficult to finish the wall, to stop catch and release, to insist refugee status must be obtained before entry, and to deport what is likely now 20-30 million illegal aliens in toto. In other words, the Biden administration may sigh, “Our work is done. Whatever you think about our illegal methods, we forever changed the idea of immigration and the demographics of the country.”
All presidents—Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden—have run deficits and vastly increased the debt since the Bill Clinton-Newt Gingrich compromises that resulted in a temporary period of balanced budgets. But in the case of Biden, there was no need to keep up the multitrillion-dollar deficits, especially as interest rates on the national debt tripled and the service costs now approach $1 trillion per year.
Biden, after all, inherited a recovering economy, flush with post-COVID-19 lockdown stimulatory dollars, pent-up consumer demand, and ossified supply chains. And then he stupidly poured gasoline on the explosive mix by dousing the country with even more federal spending. Now we have the worst of both worlds: high interest rates and nearly $36 trillion to service.
But in the leftist mind, it was worth it, given that left-wing constituencies received vast expansions of entitlements that will be hard to prune back. And unprecedentedly vast debt at levels like our current burden of 123% of annual GDP prove unsustainable. And the historic correctives are brutal: 1) major cuts in entitlements and redistributive spending programs; 2) tax hikes at a time when state, local, federal, and gas, sales, and property taxes—and other “fees”—already take over half the income of most middle-class Americans; 3) hyper-inflation to pay back what is owed with cheap funny money, with the added leftist fillip that those who have dollars lose wealth and those who don’t gain greater access to them; 4) renunciation of debt. We already saw in the Obama era that liberal bureaucrats and courts often reversed the orders of creditors in bankruptcy hearings. When debt becomes unsustainable, historically arise cries of “Why should the poor suffer more when the rich already have enough money and don’t really need to be paid back?”; and 5) efforts to “confiscate” private wealth by giving, in exchange, government “credits.” For example, there have already been floated ideas that 401Ks could be absorbed into the insolvent Social Security system for credit in government benefits.
Most Americans poll strong support for Israel. They oppose the Biden effort to triangulate by revisiting the old Obama nihilist agendas of emboldening the Iranian/Hezbollah/Hamas/Houthis axis to play off against our traditional allies of Israel and the more moderate Arab regimes.
By failing to prosecute nine months of domestic violence committed by pro-Hamas lawbreakers, by allowing leftist campuses to normalize anti-Semitism and pro-terrorist advocacy, and by destroying the once close alliance of Israel and the United States, the left feels it will be almost impossible to go back to the pre-Obama/Biden years. Their legacy, they hope, is a mendicant Israel utterly dependent on U.S. largess—a condition itself predicated on essentially destroying the idea of a secure Jewish state within its present borders.
The Biden administration sought to curb oil and gas production—save for brief periods before the midterm and reelection campaigns, when it drained the strategic petroleum reserve. The point was to acculturate the public to high gasoline prices, to make inefficient solar/wind/EVs projects competitive against artificially costly fossil fuels, and to institutionalize policies that will make it difficult to reopen closed fields, to reboot federal oilfield leasing, and to dismantle costly subsidies for inefficient green fuels.
That Americans paid hundreds of billions of dollars more for their fuels under Biden, that the auto industry is stuck with vast inventories of money-losing electric vehicles that the public does not want, and that the entire economy has been shackled by counterproductive green mandates were considered worth the cost of alienating the public.
The left knows that neither Alvin Bragg, E. Jean Carroll, Letitia James, Jack Smith, nor Fani Willis would have gone to court against Donald Trump if he was either a leftist or had bowed out of the 2024 presidential race. They know no one has been tried on such pseudo-charges, and no one will again be so charged after Trump. And they accept that no republic can long survive if the opposition party seeks to remove the names of its political opponents from the ballot.
But they also know that the left has now established a valuable precedent: oppose woke progressivism, and one will either become bankrupted by indictments or land before a blue-city jury eager to nullify evidence to ensure the accused is jailed and broke.
So the left believes that its new lawfare was well worth the destruction of the entire tradition of equality under the law: 1) Donald Trump has lost a half-billion dollars in fines and legal fees; 2) a court-bound Donald Trump was robbed of weeks of valuable campaign time; 3) Donald Trump can be forever now libeled as a “convicted felon”; and 4) the left has played chicken with the American Constitution and believes it has won, given conservatives would never enter into a destructive cycle of tit-for-tat.
The Biden years did the country great damage and rendered Biden himself one of the most unpopular incumbent presidents in American history. But his agendas may have fundamentally changed the country for decades, if not longer—and will require tough remedies that may be almost as unpopular as the wreckage they wrought.
There’s nothing crazy about the Democrats’ agenda: Every Democrat policy is designed to build the party’s voting coalition: https://daveziffer.substack.com/p/theres-nothing-crazy-about-the-democrats
the dirtbagocraps agenda to lie and confuse with the main sleaze media is totally lunatic – This is proof what happens when humans sell their soul to the devil – the devil pulls the rug out from any fool that falls for the lies – and imploding the demoncRats are doing – their karma is going to be big and bad as their actions have been big and bad for the nation and the world and for their most ardent fool supporters
“DirtBAGOCRAPS”,……lOVE IT. Thank you.
The “MainSleazeMedia.” Right on again. Perfect.
Thank you SO MUCH.
Totally accurate.
Yes, those are good terms.
A voting coalition whose only stake in America is plunder.
And oppression and failure
The total destruction of freedom and The USA .
If the USA goes,…freedom dies everywhere.
People are so stupid.. Dumb animals following a blind animal..
Many people don’t want to be free. Too much work and responsibility.
Freedom is scary for many of the world’s peoples.
They still need their mommies and daddy’s.
Cowards and robots. Mindless idiots.
“Who Is Really Behind our Illegal Immigration?” https://daveziffer.substack.com/p/who-is-really-behind-our-illegal
To quote Dennis Prager “would you want to fundamentally transform your wife or husband?”
I feel that you are looking too closely at America and you’re missing the point, this is a global problem, led by the UN.
Take a look at IOM.int which is owned by the UN.
Look what happened in 2020 caused by the WHO owned by the UN.
Look at the climate engineering in your sky and notice that the IPCC is owned by the UN.
The International Court is condemning Israel, it too is owned by the UN.
The people that are making billions out of this deliberate debt all gather together in Davos under the umbrella of the WEF whose logo is the same colour too.
Defund the UN now, and NATO while we’re at it and the world can return to some semblance of normality.
They are a part, but only part, of the globalist cabal seeking to “bring America to its knees.”
I’d like to fundamentally transform my ex-wife.
“…or force the incoming republican administration to adopt such tough medicine that would prove untenable politically ..”
This happened in Australia. In 2012 newly installed Right wing premier Campbell Newman of Queensland set about to undo the harm that years of the leftist Labor Party had wrought. The people found it needed such a massive change and change quickly which they found hard to take, so they voted him out at the next election. Sadly, Labor has been in power ever since and the damage they have wrought will never be undone. Stupid voters!
Assuming DJT wins the election, it will take years and another conservative president after him, to fix the hot mess the country has become. Those will be hard times. “Saving the country” is not going to be a quick fix. People need to recognize that. Still better than where the Leftist Marxist communists are proposing to take the country.
I disagree – this mess since the rigged and stolen 2020 election can be turned around in one year – then the foundations to ensure this cannot happen again and USA is back on top will be done simultaneously – Lives and properties that have been lost cannot be replaced – but to secure peace in the world and defeat jihad and to get USA economy back on top where it was before the coup d’etat of the rigged and stolen 2020 election will this time be cemented in foundation. President Trump has learned the hard way about those he appoints to be in his cabinet – and hopefully this 2025 – 2029 batch will be blood loyal and the VP Trump picks will not be a back stabber like the last one and go on to implement Trump MAGA plans and win 2 consecutive elections after President Trump’s final term. I hope that VP choice will be Kari Lake.
Agree. Just the relief felt by millions of happy people. Children will be safe at school. The pure joy of ridding ourselves of the sick malevolent left and especially Obama and his pals is enough to make the country buoyant with optimism. Small businesses opening up. Race baiting minimized. No more mayor and governor endorsed Antifa fascist muslim leftist street attacks of Jews with zero police support. Criminals receiving fair consequences. Fewer lies.
We can solve our problems. We know who made them. We know we can fix it.
It almost hurts with longing to imagine a saner world.
To begin the turn around of the so-called education system from the present indoctrination system to a genuine education system will take at least 12 years.
There is no reform of the government monopoly called “public education, and there is no reform of the government “public” schools. Government includes federal, state, and local government. The public schools are dinosaurs from the 19th century, and they’ve become nothing short of Marxist indoctrination centers. Abolish each and every state’s compulsory attendance laws. That’s just the start.
IMO Tulsi Gabbard would be a smart choice for VP.
Well, the Left has been telling us for years, “By any means necessary” but we didn’t listen. Instead, we pretended the Dems were just a normal U.S. political party that shared traditional values, even if it differed at the margins on means. The party has instead been taken over by the far Left, opted out of our social compact, and become a revolutionary party that seeks to destroy our institutions and systems of government and economics.
Very well stated. Thank you!!
…just a normal U.S. political party
They were until O and his crew of internationalists.
The deliberate harms being inflicted on our citizens, institutions and culture are really forms of treason.
We need to replace the Department of Homeland (creepy name) Security with a new Deportation Force run by the generals that Obama removed.
Mexico and the Mexican government are the enemy of America and US citizens.
Mexico is manufacturing the fentanyl drugs in Mexico.
And Mexico is distributing the fentanyl into America across the Mexican border.
This is all done with the approval and encouragement and facilitation of the Mexican government.
It seems to me that attention should be focused on Mexico’s aggression against America and US citizens.
More than 100,000 US citizens per year, mostly young people, are being murdered by Mexico …. .
Not to mention the INVASION of millions and hordes of illegal aliens and violent criminals from across the Mexican border.
Therefore, Mexico is the enemy of America and US citizens.
Mexican president Obrador is a mass murderer of US citizens.
Doesn’t that count for some defensive and protective actions to be taken against Mexico by America, by the US government and the US military ?
Let’s be honest and clear about this … Mexico is the enemy of America and US citizens.
Russia is not murdering more than 100,000 US citizens every year.
Mexico is murdering more than 100,000 US citizens every year.
For God’s sake …. America … preserve protect and defend yourself against your real worst enemies …. Mexico and Islam.
A 25% tax on remittences sent to Mexico and Central America will correct many problems.
AND…. no foreign aid to our enemies. (Which is ALL Islamic nations.)
The Road ahead will be hard for many people – mostly useless Gov’t ee’s and illegals! From DAY ONE, PRESIDENT TRUMP needs to have WEEKLY Programs featuring EXPERTS who will bring EVIDENCE and SOLUTIONS to the MANY problems the DEMOcrats have caused! An IMMIGRATION Expert could show just how many have INVADED, the COSTS of providing for them, and LIVES LOST due to their lawlessness! They could also show how large a FORCE it would require to PHYSICALLY REMOVE those who do not self deport! There will be sob stories galore, but it must be done! When the public learns that there will be tremendous savings and a correlated increase in AVAILABLE JOBS for every level for AMERICANS in addition to RELIEF from the HOUSING ISSUES – high costs and availability!! Each week could feature a different topic! Imagine how people would react to learn how much MONEY is WASTED by the Dept of Education! When THAT monstrosity is ended and the savings distributed (some of it) to the STATES to improve their schools there should be more people wanting improvements in THEIR areas of concern! The MILITARY should also be a TOP PRIORITY! There should be a FIRM and COMMON SENSE policy! ANYONE in UNIFORM is EQUAL and expected to MEET THE STANDARDS!! When the obese lard asses can’t qualify physically they can be given a “remedial boot camp” to get into shape. The biggest improvement would be to state that Our MILITARY is for ONE PURPOSE – to PROTECT THE USA! Trannies will need to either wear SEX APPROPRIATE UNIFORMS and ACT ACCORDINGLY or LEAVE! Ending all expenditures for “climate change” and “social justice” would add BILLIONS to the POT! I’d suggest keeping a spreadsheet that people could access that shows the SPENDING (WASTE) for the last four years and the SAVINGS from operating in a SANE, COMMON SENSE manner! Feelings might be hurt, but we have a NATION to SAVE!
I like it, except “experts” — anyone who can do math can figure out the benefit-loss statements of illegal immigration, etc. “Who are you — some kind of expert?” has helped ruin the country.
Thank you. If only something as sensible and workable like this could be implemented.
A U.S. financial collapse is not very far off in the future. Once the Federal Government default on its debt, no one is going to be concerned about the donkeys’ and elephants’ policies, whether foreign or domestic, are when the country falls apart.
The destruction of the US is not an accident. Militant Islam wants to destroy the Great Satan. Joe Biden is the puppet of the real President, who is a member of the Islamic Brotherhood. He says he is a Southern Baptist who just happens to say that the Muslim call to prayer are the sweetest words he has ever heard. I’m sure you don’t need three guesses.
“After all, how would a Trump administration deal with 10 million illegal aliens who entered the US without audit or legality? Where are they? How would they be found and deported? How many court suits in blue-jurisdictions before blue judges would have to be overcome?”
Simplify the deportation process. No passport means immediate deportation without hearing. Eliminate the appeal proceedings in the U.S. so no jurisdictions would be “overcome” and appeal could only be made from country of origin. Get a digital I.D. of the criminal prior to deportation to be used for permanent banning from U.S. soil in the event of re-entry. Applications for entry should be paused until deportations are rare. Applications for entry should be based upon the best interest of American and her heritage populations. Eliminate birth right citizenship.
KH. One-Hundred percent agree with all.
Birthright is a joke. It happens no other countries.
“But they also were confident the changes were of such magnitude that the United States would either become… ‘fundamentally transformed’ or force the next Republican administration to adopt such tough medicine that it would prove untenable politically and the malady would still prove mostly impossible to undo. ”
This is the problem of democracy in empire (which is what we now have). The best interests of Americans can no longer be decided by appeasing the various competing interest groups having no history, culture or relationship to heritage Americans. We MUST make some unpopular decisions now if America is to be saved.
In the past, we were unified by shared experiences and suffering. A little wave of that was felt after 9-11, but I do not think it is possible now. We owe apologies to all the veterans of our wars fought to make our homes, families and nation safe. We invade, create hatred and resentment, then invite them to live among us.
“And then he stupidly poured gasoline on the explosive mix by dousing the country with even more federal spending…”.
Depends what angle you are seeing this from. From ‘their’ angle, OBiden/Obama, ole Joe has been a roaring success. ‘They’ have singlehandedly destroyed America, way past the point of no return. The party is over, the fat lady has sung, and God’s 6,000 year plan for mankind is almost over. The next 6 months will be hell on earth.

How about Dana White. He’s a ruthless businessman, and we’re going to need someone who knows the fight business.
In other words, America is fucked, has been since Alzheimer Joe Beijing Biden was installed by vote fraud and will be for a very long time.
We may not be able to do anything about all the illegals in our country. But we can identify the perps who not only allowed, but caused it to happen, and see to it that their remaining time here on earth is nasty. Or short. Or both.
We keep saying “Biden did this, Biden did that”
After watching the debate can we officially put a fork in those statements?
From the very beginning the Vegetable in Chief has done nothing by his own efforts. He has been on a leash the entire time. Guided here and there. Told when to sit, when to stand.
He is living proof fully half of this country is ignorant beyond belief. That or they are willfully complicit and blind in our country’s destruction.
If even possible this will be a long slog back to any semblance of normal.
Every action Biden took with his pen can be reversed the moment President Trump takes office. Every action that depends on continued spending could be stopped by a principled Congress. Every agency ruling made in anticipation of Chevron deference can be defeated in court. President Trump can fire every federal attorney and commute or pardon every J6 demonstrator. The President has legal authority to deport every foreign invader. America can be saved. Will it?
Feeble minded people voting for feeble minded administration
