Political Musings 2028 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

In politics, as in life, most people tend not learn from their mistakes let alone even try to rectify said mistakes. Some people even continue making the same mistakes over and over thinking that eventually they will be proven right and that everyone else was wrong all along. Oh how foolish some people, some politicians, and political parties can be. But thankful a caveat exists in that politically, both in 2026 and in 2028, the Democrats sure to be continued mistakes will become Republican victories once again.

“If I think I could offer something...I would certainly consider that.” - - 2024 VP candidate Tim Walz when asked if he is considering running for president in 2028

So here let's begin by my saying have you noticed how much air and press time Minnesota Governor and Kamala Harris' 2024 VP running mate Tim Walz has received of late. I most certainly have as it seems the man even more disliked then Kamala Harris is now one of a handful of those being “groomed,” if you will, to be the possible 2028 Democrat presidential candidate.

And if the thought of Tim Walz isn't bad enough there's the ever infamous Alexandria Ocasio Cortez...or AOC as she's more commonly known...now being seen by some as a “leading star” within the Democrat Party, thus making her a possible 2028 contender for the party's presidential nomination. In fact, an early March CNN poll showed that AOC was the “top politician” amongst both Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents when asked which “one person best reflects the core values” of the party, with her scoring even higher then Kamala Harris who, unfortunately, will remain in the Democrat's presidential nomination mix until she herself says...or Barack Obama tells her to say...that she will not be running for the office of president in 2028.

Now also add these five, in no particular order, Democrat names into the cauldron as possible nominees starting, in my opinion, with: 

1. New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, the Democrat who even The New York Times named as being the “third most liberal senator” based solely upon his voting record...a record that clearly shows he is in full support of affirmative action, same-sex marriage, a single-payer healthcare system, the call for “reparations” for descendants of slavery, and far left economic reform regarding supposed race based “wealth inequality” being at the top of his priorities list. An easily manipulated and controlled Democrat party loyalist who easily meets certain must be checked off boxes, Booker does rake in the dollars when running for offiice...something the Democrat hierarchy loves.

2. 
   Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, the man who constructed his state's agenda of “defending Pennsylvanians fundamental freedoms” by using “common sense,” which, to me, means that he is the best of possible Democrat nominees to date. Why so...because Josh Shapiro understands the importance of bipartisanship, and worked with Republicans to invest more monies in PA's public educational system, has hired hundreds of new State troopers, and invested millions in economic development to help create jobs in communities previously ignored. Shapiro could be a formidable rival if Democrats get over the fact that Shapiro is both Jewish and a supporter of Israel.

3. 
   Michigan Governor Gretchen E. Whitmer whose main agenda continues to encompass increasing women's rights, adding more legal protections for both abortion rights and LGTBQ+ rights, with a small dose of increased educational funding and monies for road and infrastructure repairs thrown in for good measure. But, the bottom line is that the woman who promised to “get things done that will make a real difference in people's lives,” still sees her priority being the social issues which, while it helps to check off certain key boxes, it's still not enough for her to secure her party's nomination let alone the presidency.

4. 
   Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey who not only sued the Trump administration more than 100 times...a plus checked off for the far left...but she is the one who relishes in vocally deeming that Border Czar Tom Homan has a “fixation” on Massachusetts. A “climate change” advocate who wants Massachusetts to become a “world leader in combating the climate crisis,” Healey wants the entirety of our nation's economy to become solely “clean energy” driven, And not to be overlooked is her want to turn unused state owned land and public property into affordable rental housing within a year's time...a hoped for vote garnering operation that will go nowhere.

5. 
   And lastly, California's water rationing, “I basically was fiddling while Los Angeles burned,” Governor Gavin Newsom rounds out the list of whom I think are the most likely leading Democrat possibilities for president come 2028. The governor whose poorly designed and executed economic policies not only destroyed California's what once was a thriving manufacturing industry, but saw it leading to record high housing and energy costs, sky high taxes, failing public schools, and homelessness becoming an acceptable new norm. Yet he remains the party hierarchy's “golden boy.” Why so...because Gavin Newsom has, for better or worse, enough national name recognition and clout to draw the party defectors back into the Democrat fold.
   

But know there could be others as well, others who while not having enough name recognition to pull votes away from top name contenders, but who could easily become the pivotal wrench thrown into what would be a spoiler mix. Names like former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, New York's nursing home/covid disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Obama loyalist and former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel whose name not so unexpectedly always seems to pop up on the political radar just around election time.

And so Tim Waltz who recently was not only asked about his 2028 political ambitions, but asked why he believes the 2024 Democrat presidential ticket failed, answered the first part by using a football analogy. Saying that, “In football parlance, we were in a prevent defense to not lose when we never had anything to lose because I don’t think we were ever ahead,” a truth many of us knew all along as the public momentum needed to win this race was never behind the Harris/ Waltz ticket. Also, Waltz continues to ignore the fact that “We the People” simply did not believe that neither he nor Harris championed American values and ideals or that they would fight for right over wrong.

Now as to the specifics of exactly why their ticket failed, Waltz answered because, “the Democrats played it too safe during the cycle,” by their not being“bold enough' to stand up for diversity, equity and inclusion and immigration.” Oh how wrong Tim Waltz is as America...as Americans...as a whole, is fed up with and tired of all the race baiting distractions that are the hallmark of both the DEI rhetoric and unfettered immigration... simply what I consider to be even more infamous “Obamaisms” now sadly come back to haunt.

And so Tim Waltz, who loves to state that he never lost an election before last November, needs to understand that his chances are slim to none of his ever becoming the Democrats 2028 nominee for the political baggage he carries will only get heavier if he tries to continue on this course.

So who then do I think might become the Democrat 2028 presidential nominee?

But before I tell you the answer to that and why, let me begin by saying that many on both sides of the political aisle still think it will, in the end, be CA. Governor Gavin Newsom, And why so...because of Newsom's national name recognition; his still being able to swing political clout; his self-anointing of himself as the leader of the fight against Trump and his agenda; and the fact that Newsom has mastered the all-important, much needed to win an election skill of what I call the sometimes dirty “art of political deflection.”

How so? Here's but one key example. Remember after the devastating Los Angels wildfires how, as governor, Newsom successfully shifted the bulk of the fire blame game off of himself putting it squarely on the shoulders of Los Angeles' Mayor Karen Bass, who rightfully must share in the blame. Only a true politician obsessed with himself and with a dedicated cause would be able to do that. And besides, the narcissism that drives Newsom ever forward, also finds this man possessing the trait of single focused “self-determination”... as in no one best stand in the way of what he wants. Remember, Gavin Newsom has been laying the groundwork since mid-2023 for a 2028 presidential run that he deems should rightfully go to him.

So with all that said, plus the fact that American's from both sides of the aisle made it clear last November 5th that they're fed up with all the illegal/border nonsense, the social issues in general, DEI and trans/he-she /pronoun nonsense that's being forced down our collective throats, coupled with all the wasteful government spending and mandated must do nonsense, Tim Waltz still continues to spout off that what the Democrats need to win in 2028 is to double down on said nonsense. A foolish man indeed for it's but a sure way for Democrats to lose yet again, as well they should.

However, if the the Democrats are serious in wanting even a chance to win in 2028...which by the way they won't do as Trump's successful “America First” four years will see to that...at least they won't go down like they did in 2024's humiliating election defeat if they chose a more palatable candidate...a more moderate, more centrist, candidate whose vision for America is more aligned with “We the People's” wishes.

And for me, a least this far out from 2028, I believe Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro would be the most sensible choice for the Democrats because he is more of a JFK style Democrat in that he has successfully worked and continues to work with Republicans to get things done in his state. Putting his state's needs before what is his party's leftist agenda sends a powerful message to all voters. A centrist Democrat who puts his country first...like did JFK...would at least be somewhat palatable to our Republican side if by some outside chance he were somehow to win, which thankfully I seriously doubt.

But even with that said, I know that Gavin Newsom could well still become the Democrats nominee for Newsom is one thing that Josh Shapiro is not...a Catholic and not a Jew. You, dear reader, figure it out as the sad times we're now in speak for itself. Case closed.

One Movie's Foreshadowing Reality

By Diane Sori / The Patriots Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google.

...But, why exactly do I bring up this particular movie, and why now when other movies do broach a similar subject, and how exactly does this relate to the now “thankfully” almost over four years of hell our country has been going through courtesy of the Biden/Harris administration? Why...because what happened in England in this movie's violent plot line in what was deemed to be the near future actually was starting to happen here, in our own country, while President Trump was finishing up his then first term in office, albeit minus the drama of a post nuclear war background. 

Coming in the guise of what I call “veiled violence” as opposed to actual “physical violence,” I take this to mean it's when those in power willfully strip away “We the Peoples” rights and freedoms never mind that no blood is shed. How so? One needs only look to both the totalitarian and authoritarian policies of the Biden/Harris administration in regards to our southern border and the covid pandemic...policies directly in violation of not only our Constitution...for nowhere does the Constitution say that we must take in or give refuge to criminals, and nowhere does the Constitution give authority to start initiating what still seems to be a deliberate yet somewhat veiled “culling of the American herd.” Read entire article here.

One Movie's Foreshadowing Reality

By Diane Sori / The Patriots Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google.

“People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.” 

 - a line from the movie “V for Vendetta.”

As we close out 2024 with new found hope for our beloved America, thanks of course to Donald J. Trump being elected as our nation's 47th president, I can't help but reflect back on certain key happenings under the Biden/Harris administration...happenings that caused great harm to our country and to “We the People” as well. Cleverly orchestrated and highly manipulative in nature, what unfolded “policy wise” these past four years seemed to be done so as to cause the most harm to as many Americans as possible.

Policies deliberately enacted to cause harm made me think back to a British movie called “V for Vendetta.” Released here in the U.S. on December 11, 2005, this movie...originally written as a graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd back in the 1980's...saw its main character “V” being somewhat based on Guy Fawkes and his failed “Gunpowder Plot” against the British monarchy. The main story line itself revolved around the aftermath of a “global nuclear catastrophe” that left much of the world uninhabitable and in chaos with its main character“V” hoping to serve as the conduit to get the people to “wake up” and take a stand against what had become unabashed “totalitarianism and authoritarianism”...sort of like the stand the American people took this past November 5th.

Simply, while the movie shows England having survived the aforementioned nuclear catastrophe, its now ruling powers took away from the people what were once their “freedoms” and replaced those “freedoms” with a “police state”...a fascist/Marxist style government if you will...a government replete with resettlement camps and the killing of all those they alone deemed to be undesirable. In fact, in their quest to do so, said powers manufactured a biological weapon to help fuel internal conflict and strife within the masses as the means by which they could justify what would be their upcoming “power grab,”...a “power grab” they claimed was done solely in the supposed best interest of the people. Sounds a bit too much like Dr. Fauci and crew now doesn't it...maybe it was this particular movie that gave them an idea or two.

And while, as expected, there were government resistors in England...resistors not unlike today's what many call “freedom fighters”...the movie's main focus remained on one rebel/vigilante known only as “V”...a man forced by dire circumstances to use “terrorist tactics” to fight back against those who demanded both absolute power and total unyielding control over the people. Sounds kind of like certain someones behind today's Democrat party scenes...can you say puppet master Barack Obama, his sidekick Nancy Pelosi, and their ever replenishing money bags George Soros...people who not only call the shots in today's Democrat party but who, along with their minions, remain laser-focused on destroying one man alone...one man as both their and what they believe to be America's public enemy #1 if you will. And who is that man but “America proud” Donald J. Trump...a now and forever thorn in the Democrats side just as “V” was to the fascists in power.

But, why exactly do I bring up this particular movie, and why now when other movies do broach a similar subject, and how exactly does this relate to the now “thankfully” almost over four years of hell our country has been going through courtesy of the Biden/Harris administration? Why...because what happened in England in this movie's violent plot line in what was deemed to be the near future actually was starting to happen here, in our own country, while President Trump was finishing up his then first term in office, albeit minus the drama of a post nuclear war background. 

Coming in the guise of what I call “veiled violence” as opposed to actual “physical violence,” I take this to mean it's when those in power willfully strip away “We the Peoples” rights and freedoms never mind that no blood is shed. How so? One needs only look to both the totalitarian and authoritarian policies of the Biden/Harris administration in regards to our southern border and the covid pandemic...policies directly in violation of not only our Constitution...for nowhere does the Constitution say that we must take in or give refuge to criminals, and nowhere does the Constitution give authority to start initiating what still seems to be a deliberate yet somewhat veiled “culling of the American herd.”

First, those entering our country illegally are indeed committing an overt “criminal action” simply courtesy of their very presence on American soil for they knowingly and willingly broke our “on the books” immigration laws in coming here...with the Biden/Harris administration not only allowing this to happen but encouraging and egging this action on. And whether they admit to it or not in Biden and Harris basically opening our southern border... opened our country...to a free-for-all invasion...we see a willing invasion that reeks of their “aiding and abetting the enemy”...an all encompassing “criminal element” type enemy...which constitutes treason of sorts if you ask me. In fact, the very act of putting criminal invaders wants and needs before the wants and needs of American citizens...the very act of willingly and knowingly putting American lives in danger...can be nothing less than treason what with Trump's first term “America First” policies now having been manipulated to morph into “America Last” policies...this is a crime in and of itself.

Now as for the covid pandemic...a pandemic and scare tactic all rolled into one neat little nasty package...a Democrat politically manufactured and propagandized pandemic that came replete with assorted greedy and willing government officials going along with a handful of corrupted doctors all in the name of money, power, and control...we see a pandemic not unlike the government manufactured bio-weapon in “V for Vendetta” with the only difference in our case being covid's victims were “We the People.” Simply, “We the People” became the recipients of not only a virus that actually needed an antidote and not a vaccine, but of forced mask mandates, lock downs, and a vaccine that is now proving to having possibly done way more harm than good. Just another example of the Biden/Harris administration seeming to parallel the fascist regime in the aforementioned movie.

Remember, like those in power in “V for Vendetta,” today's Democrats quest to hold onto the reigns of power by any and all means possible is all consuming, as they alone, once Trump left office, set the rules as to how we were to live our lives...our Constitutionally given freedoms be damned...just as they were for the Brits in “V for Vendetta.”

Thankfully not all of us complied.

Also,“V” himself being a masked operative was now the key jump off point for England's “freedom movement”...a movement to overthrow what had truly become an all-encompassing fascist regime...a movement that started slow and was only now gaining a bit of momentum. In a way “V's” fictional movement, along with “V” himself, was actually not unlike both Donald J. Trump the man and the MAGA movement he helped to create in what was the here and now. How so...both the fictional “V” and Donald Trump the man successfully rose up against the stacked against them political odds along with the propagandists and naysayers of their respective times, while the movements they started continued to grow. And while“V” lost his life fighting for the cause he believed in, thankfully Trump survived the assassination attempts on his life...and know there indeed was more than just one such attempt.

But the true bottom line in all that I've just said not only shadows the famous line “absolute power corrupts absolutely,” but also shows that while make-believe can sometimes be a mirror into reality, reality itself can either be manipulated to meet a political agenda or it can be the catalyst to open up an opportunity for change. In the case of the movie “V for Vendetta,” we will never know the final outcome of what the call for change did or did not bring, but in the case of both Donald J. Trump and our beloved America the call for change was sealed this past November 5th with our country now thankfully moving decidedly to the right.

Does this mean that we as a nation are now home scot-free, and that these past four horrendous years can now be forgotten? No, it most assuredly does not for to forget the bad does not erase what was but could actually negate and alter one's history...a very dangerous and far reaching scenario indeed. I kind of know what Donald Trump would say as he gets to live to see history unfold, leaving me to wonder what “V” himself would say if he had so lived. Case closed.
