What 2025 may bring

At Breitbart, a look towards 2025 and some of the real, and tough issues facing the incoming Trump administration:

President Trump will not have an easy time controlling inflation, a problem that has historically only been solved with economic pain. Securing the border will also be an extremely difficult task, not to mention the question of what to do with millions of people who have entered the country illegally in the past several years.

There may be opportunities for peacemaking in the Middle East, but there will also be new challenges: the Syrian rebels who ousted the Assad regime, for example, include hard-core Islamic terrorists who are already threatening Christians and other minority groups in the region. Russia and Ukraine are still at war, and China is still a growing threat — not just in the western Pacific, but elsewhere.

More broadly, we have long-term problems — the debt, the declining birthrate, the epidemic of loneliness — that will require sensitive approaches. We have elected a president who prides himself on being a disruptive force; the challenge of rebuilding will be our own.

Inflation is indeed going to be a tough one to tackle. The money printing that has happened over the last 4 years make it especially tough to overcome quickly. But the energy policy and the immigration fixes (especially deportation) will definitely have a faster impact than fixing monetary and fiscal policy. That will help for sure. 

While wars are a big problem, I have less concern about Trump's ability to broker deals and I think he will make relatively quick work of solving those issues.

With respect to the long term issues mentioned in the article, those are things that will take longer than a single presidential term.  JD Vance will need to step up in 2028.

Kamala Harris vs. Everybody

I hope, I HOPE, Democrats decide on Kamala Harris as their nominee for 2028. I really hope they do.

Tim Pool unleashed

Tim Pool unleashed on uninformed leftist Luke Beasley with facts, and deservedly so. Nothing needs to be added to this, it's a takedown worth it's weight in gold.
