D. Vance won his race primarily because Donald Trump rescued him from Vance\u2019s own earlier statements calling Trump reprehensible.\u00a0 Whether Vance really regrets his earlier statements or is following his political self-interest is very hard to know.\u00a0 But even if it is the latter, it is a sign that politicians are awakening to the reality that almost all Republican voters, most Independents and even some Democrats are completely fed up with the madness that has been going on at the behest of the Left for the last few years.<\/p>\n<p>And that is good.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s good because if politicians think that their self-interest is tied to the America First movement then some progress will be made.\u00a0 And more important than this carrot will be the stick.\u00a0 The fate of the Republican congressional representatives who voted for Trump\u2019s impeachment will be an object lesson for the rest of the Congressional Clowns who suckle at the Federal Teat.\u00a0 Seeing these \u201cbrave patriots\u201d losing their cozy offices on Capitol Hill and forced to look for honest work will send chills of panic down the spines of their fellow congress critters.<\/p>\n<p>Who knows it might even energize mavericks like Mittens Romney to suddenly see the light and discover their hidden love of all things Trumpian.\u00a0 Stranger things have happened.\u00a0 But that would be a shame.\u00a0 There is nothing I would enjoy more than seeing Romney successfully primaried out of office in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>So, what we may be seeing is the beginning of the reaction to the 2020 debacle.\u00a0 It won\u2019t be 100% effective.\u00a0 Phonies will masquerade as friends.\u00a0 Crooks will sneak in as they always do but even they will begin to vote the right way.\u00a0 These people can tell which way the wind blows and they\u2019ll join the winning side at least for the moment.\u00a0 What\u2019s more important will be to see if any effective plans are made by our \u201cleaders.\u201d\u00a0 Blocking any further Biden judicial candidates is a no brainer.\u00a0 Investigations into things like the Biden laptop could produce useful headlines in the run-up to the 2024 election season.<\/p>\n<p>Most important is to deny Biden anymore funds for his Climate Change boondoggles.\u00a0 The trillions of dollars that have been poured into the coffers of phony green energy companies is the source of all the corruption that the Democrats feed on.\u00a0 Cutting off that supply is critical to saving our economy.\u00a0 Unfortunately, many of the Republicans feed at that same trough.\u00a0 It will take a long time before the McConnells of the Republican Party are finally booted out of Washington.<\/p>\n<p>But the single biggest thing that the 2022 mid-terms can provide us with is the spectacle of Joe Biden going through an impeachment.\u00a0 It\u2019s 99% sure he won\u2019t be convicted but performing the trial will provide a powerful image of all the things that were swept under the carpet in 2020 being put on display.\u00a0 All of the obvious evidence of Joe Biden\u2019s complicity in Hunter\u2019s influence peddling will be exposed.\u00a0 And all the other failures of the Biden administration can be tacked on too if there is a good way to present them as malfeasance or even incompetence.<\/p>\n<p>So, this is all just foreshadowing what I hope to see as the results of a successful 2022 election cycle.\u00a0 But I will confess there does seem to be more energy than I anticipated.\u00a0 Could we be seeing a really big change this time?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we are in the 2022 Primary Election Season.\u00a0 Last night J.
