This is the reason the president was elected and maximum effort should be made to realize this goal.<\/li>\n<li>Much more effort needs to be made in deporting illegal aliens wherever they can be found. \u00a0This is especially true of all dangerous criminals.\u00a0 To this end the Mexican drug gangs need to be disrupted and kicked out of the country as soon as possible.\u00a0 And even non-violent immigrants cause financial harm to the country.\u00a0 To this end the recent Supreme Court decision allowing the federal government to block green card access to any immigrants who are receiving government support benefits is a useful tool.\u00a0 Those coming here to live off our government programs need to be stopped.<\/li>\n<li>The President needs to rein in the Silicon Valley thought police. Facebook, Twitter, PayPal, Amazon and most of the other internet gatekeepers need to be brought to heel or broken up.\u00a0 These monopolists use their positions to disadvantage and silence the Right wherever and whenever they can.\u00a0 This is a high priority for the President\u2019s constituency.<\/li>\n<li>The President has got to get William Barr to drain the swamp. If he is unwilling to take on Comey and Brennan and Clapper then he should step aside and let someone else get it done.<\/li>\n<li>The President needs to move the swamp out of Washington D.C. and cut back its size well below current levels.\u00a0 That would have the added benefit of possibly flipping Virginia back into the red state column.<\/li>\n<li>If the President gets a Republican Congress then he should request legislation to:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Further reward corporations for employing Americans and punish ones that move their operations overseas.<\/li>\n<li>Rescind the Patriot Act<\/li>\n<li>Lower the legal immigration quota to a fraction of its present value<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>But the most important thing President Trump\u2019s administration can do<\/strong> is advocate for the re-litigation of all the unconstitutional affirmative action laws and judicial decisions that we have been afflicted with for the last fifty years. \u00a0The Solicitor General has as his responsibility to push forward to the Supreme Court\u2019s attention, cases that revolve around unconstitutional conditions.\u00a0 In my view, nothing could be more unconstitutional than the inequality at the heart of the various racial and sexual preference legislations that have been imposed on the country in the name of equality.\u00a0 The last time these programs were litigated in front of the Supreme Court it was admitted that these were unconstitutional laws but the Court stated that the remedy they were meant to provide had not yet been achieved.\u00a0 Well, considering how much time has now passed it seems high time another review takes place.\u00a0 Hopefully once President Trump replaces Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we\u2019ll be safe from John Roberts meddling with constitutional issues on the basis of his delicate feelings.<\/p>\n<p>So, that\u2019s quite an ambitious agenda.\u00a0 If even half of these things are accomplished it would be a revelation for our side to see.\u00a0 The important thing to remember is that an agenda is a checklist and needs to be hammered away at until it\u2019s finished.\u00a0 If politicians are shown to shy away from providing effective support for a goal but instead provide excuses for why it can\u2019t be done then you know it\u2019s time to find a better representative for your agenda.\u00a0 The Bushes were the classic case of politicians who gave lip service to being conservatives but failed to support a single conservative goal.\u00a0 This needs to be remembered after President Trump\u2019s second term ends.\u00a0 We\u2019ll have to ask ourselves whether Mike Pence is up to the job he\u2019ll be called on to perform.\u00a0 A fearless and effective leader has now been shown to be the key to getting stuff done.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll send this list into the President. \u00a0I know he\u2019s busy right now but hopefully he\u2019ll have some time after the State of the Union Address to chat with an important and influential thought leader such as myself. \u00a0I\u2019ll let you know what he has to say when he calls me back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I\u2019ve already assumed the President will be re-elected.\u00a0 The freak show that the Democrats have assembled for candidates is unmistakably a sort of bad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6],"tags":[143,2314,2315,16],"class_list":["post-9820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","category-trump","tag-drain-the-swamp","tag-right-wing-agenda","tag-the-next-five-years","tag-trump"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
