Tom Homan is a crusty guy. Doesn’t smile a lot and is serious most of the time. When he was with us in Gaithersburg earlier this year he teared up when talking about rescuing kids from the cartel, kids that were his children’s age. He made us all cry when he talked about carrying one dead boy out of a loaded truck the smugglers had abandoned and left locked in the hot sun.

President elect Trump has named him to Vice President Harris’ position as “Border Czar.” Kids, women and most immigrants will be safer because of it. It’s not some ethereal problem about stuff far away. It happened again over Thanksgiving. While I was shopping in Germantown there was a man and two really young children begging for money in the cold on the corner as we all left the shopping center. Immigrants they said, please help.

Last night, while writing this in Gaithersburg, about 30 miles away at the White House in Washington DC President Joe Biden also had a pen in hand and signed a full and complete pardon for all the crimes that his son Hunter Biden had committed since 2014. As part of his explanation he said that the justice department had weaponized the law and used it for political purposes, this time against his family. Sound familiar?

Were you surprised? After all, he had said repeatedly that this was something he would never ever do. I however always thought he would, in fact I thought if he didn’t President Trump would have pardoned Hunter Biden too. Pardons are important for Presidents.   Many years ago when I worked for Gerald Ford he told me that the reason he lost reelection was because he pardoned Richard Nixon, and that if he had to do it over again he’d do the same thing, ‘cause it was the right thing to do for the country.

Over the course of history, we have seen ordinary human beings take on difficult tasks, often facing adversity and then achieve success. We owe our freedom to such people. Having just celebrated Thanksgiving, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for those Americans past and present who have persevered through challenging times. Some of them are our local volunteers who turned an idea into a reality. All have a role to play, whether large or small. All faced challenges of varying degree.

As Calvin Coolidge once said, “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

“The minute it became clear that Harris had lost, reporters and panelists began offering explanations—explanations so obvious that you had to wonder why they hadn’t seen the loss coming. Of course they were correct: The results proved that millions of people don’t want to see an apparently endless flow of undocumented immigrants entering the country; they loathe the way DEI absolutism empowered an army of bureaucrats to mete out mysterious punishments for ridiculous offenses. They don’t want to hear anyone’s pronouns; they don’t want to be told that crime is down when they’re busy getting carjacked; and they never, ever want to watch The View again.” “These various social causes helped win Trump the election. His narrative didn’t pass most tests of logic or economic theory and yet it was constructed on a foundation of grievances that rang true to millions of Americans, and Democrats met it with no narrative at all. It was as though the party had spent a quarter century running a very large tab, and on Election Day, the whole thing finally came due.”

MCGOP Chairman

Memo to Mongomery County friends of the Republican Party from Peter Huessy, President of Geo-Strategic Analysis of Potomac, Maryland

Why did the election go the way it did? I think there were three factors. (1) The arrogance of Fauci and Collins and the lockdown lies. (2) The huge growth in human smuggling across our open southern border. (3) The horror of forcing surgeries onto minors who suffer from gender dysphoria and the related craziness of allowing men to harm women in sports and invade women’s private spaces.

These three issues are covered here. Then we give our weekly dose of California foolishness plus another chapter in the climate crisis and energy. Plus a cartoon from Michael Ramirez and a satirical look at North Korea. 

The holiday party for the Leisure World Republican Club is Wednesday, December 18th @ 1:30 pm in the Chesapeake Room/Club House 1.  The room will be set up for dinner and you order food from the menu at your own expense. Please rsvp to me HERE so we can plan for the right amount of place settings and seating. Let me know if you're coming.
