Four More Years!

Your favorite Peasant is making an endorsement for 

the presidency, and it is not a difficult choice to make.

President Donald J. Trump has compiled a record of 

accomplishments in one term than most presidents 

have been able to do in two. I know, I remember

when he was nominated by the GOP four years ago

I was shocked and filled with dread. Your then-

fretful Peasant was contemplating a pair of awful 

choices for the White House; a swaggering, ultra-

cocky, bragadaccio-spouting New York billionaire

or a former First Lady with an outsized ego and an 

even larger lust for power who would run over her 

own mother to gain even a smidgen of power.

I chose the least awful of the two awful choices,

figuring that Trump was a question mark while 

Hillary Clinton was without a doubt the epitome of 

elitism, corruption, and downright vileness. 

She was, and is, more crooked than a spine with 

scoliosis. 

Thank God that Donald Trump won that election,

one in which Clinton was favored by almost everyone

on both sides of the political divide to win (even by 

your faithful Peasant; I figured she'd win by some 

shenanigans such as electoral fraud, a' la John F. Kennedy

in 1960), but oh, the shock and horror exhibited by the

Democrats attending their victory parties (Gee, this wasn't

supposed to happen!) and the amazement mixed with joy 

at the Republicans' parties, including the one I attended

in downtown Milwaukee! As soon as Donald Trump 

was inaugurated he hit the ground running, and here

is but a few of his accomplishments in fulfillment of 

his campaign promises:

1) New Jobs

In the first two months of 2017, Trump's first two months

of his first term, President Trump helped create an economic 

climate which made possible the creation of 238,000 jobs

in the private sector. Wages grew during this time by an 

average of 2.8% while unemployment dipped to 4.7%.

Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have all benefited from 

historic employment gains. People who lost their jobs

during the Obama years, many of whom had given up 

on finding new jobs returned to work in brand new jobs

at decent wages. 

2) Reduction in the National Debt

When Trump's predecessor Barack Obama left office he 

left the country a debt load of $19.947 trillion. President 

Trump cut that figure by $68 billion. It was the first time 

in decades that the nation's debt didn't increase under a new

president.

3) Manufacturing Jobs Come Back

U.S. manufacturing jobs made a comeback, according to the 

Philly Fed Index which measures how well manufacturers 

are doing. The index shows this field having its best numbers

since 1984 when President Ronald Reagan was in office.

If we re-elect President Trump we could very likely top that

mark in his second term.

4) Companies from abroad are planning or are already 

planning to or are already investing in U.S. production.

Samsung, for one, will be among those overseas firms which

will be hiring and/or transferring production to our country.

What a nice change from having our companies and our jobs

moving from our country to companies in other countries!

5) The Stock Market Sets New Record Highs With 

Astonishing Regularity

With the growing confidence of businesses big, medium and

small, it's no wonder that stocks are on a rocket ride.

6) Trump Saved the Coal Industry from Being Regulated Out 

of Business

President Trump rid this industry of the crushing regulations 

imposed upon it by President Obama, who had it in mind to

eliminate coal as an energy source and therefore the very

industry itself. Hillary Clinton promised to continue this 

terrible policy if elected. Trump saved many jobs and 

kept an option for the American people's energy.

7) The Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership is Gone

President Trump removed the U.S. from a trade pact which 

was of no real benefit to the county while giving other 

countries in the pact an upper hand over us, causing the 

loss of many jobs.

8) The Repeal and Replacement of Obamacare is Underway

The so-called Affordable Care Act (ACA), an Obama creation,

with its Individual Mandate and Obama's and the Dems' con job

in selling it to the American people ("If you like your doctor, 

you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan ...")

is going away thanks to President Trump, who is working on 

creating a replacement which will be truly affordable and 

will be market-based rather than bureaucratic and intractable.

9) The Appointment of Conservative Supreme Court Justices

Three new justices, all conservatives, are now on the United States

Supreme Court, and will be a strong bulwark against the liberal

justices and their judicial activist mischief against the Constitution.

All chosen by President Trump.

10) President Trump is the Most Pro-Life President Since 

Ronald Reagan

President Trump also chose the conservative justices for SCOTUS

for their being pro-life regarding an unborn baby's right to live and not 

be hideously killed via abortion. This raises the bar of respect and 

reverence for human life in our country, especially within its govern-

mental functions and operations.

And although the economy had taken a hit in March from the 

Coronovirus pandemic, sending it into recession, it came storming

back, breaking out of the recession while registering a historic increase 

in GDP (7.4% for the 3rd quarter of 2020; 33.1% for 2020 so far!)

Nothing like this had ever happened in our nation's history. Your joyful

Peasant could go on with mentioning still more of President Trump's 

accomplishments --- all made during one single four-year term --- 

but I would well be at it until Saint Patrick's Day. Suffice to say, 

my wonderful readers, that this most unlikely of people, this 

true political outsider, this fantastically wealthy fellow who could

simply have opted to continue to run his real estate empire and

gradually wind down his career, lolling around in his money and

his opulence had taken it upon himself to seek the highest office

in the land with the goal of rebuilding our economy and revitalizing

our country --- at a frightful cost. The hate thrown at him like 

sacks of burning excrement, the brickbats coming at him, 

his family, and his administration from many places including

but not limited to the media, the Democrats, the radical feminists,

even people in his own party does not make for a peaceful life.

This endless torrent of hatred bedeviled President Trump 

ever since he was elected, let alone inaugurated. But there 

are many, many, many of us who appreciate what he has done 

for us in repairing our country, and we must, and we shall,

vote for our courageous president on November 3 (that is,

those of us who were able to vote early in their states.

Your eager Peasant voted on the first day of early voting

here in Wisconsin!). Many people have said that this 

election is the most important election yet, but all of our 

past elections have been important. How could an election

NOT be important, for your vote is your voice in how we

are to be governed and by whom. But this election is going

to determine more than that, much more. Our election

is going to be not just the choice between which presidential

candidate, the choice between which party is to control

the House and the Senate, but also will be the choice between

which kind of country we shall have; will we continue to 

have the country that our Founding Fathers meant for us to

have --- toiling and sacrificing so much, including fighting 

a long and especially bloody war against a then world power

to gain our independence and to live as free people without

the diktats of a huge, overbearing government micromanaging

all that we say and do, or will we have exactly that type of

government which our Founding Fathers wanted to avoid,

where we will be intimidated into censoring ourselves when-

ever we want to speak our minds about what we see is lacking

in our government and our society; to be expected to adjust

our day-to-day lives to fit the rules and regulations mandated

by our government officials on high (elimination of "Hate 

Speech", the Green New Deal, etc.), to have "Open Borders"

coupled with "Sanctuary" laws across the country

allowing all to enter our country without following our 

longtime laws regarding immigration, even especially

violent criminals and international terrorists who would then

wreak havoc and make mayhem against us with impunity;

to have welfare programs the likes and scope not yet created

and implemented, all of which would crush anyone and every

entity (especially businesses) who pays taxes with taxation

beyond anything our country has ever had. And as for the

respect and sanctity of human life, forget it folks because 

we'll all be expendable and devalued in Orwellian ways.

And there will not be another opportunity to take back

and restore our country as we've always known it for a 

horribly long time. Want to know what would happen to any

dissidents who would try to begin that process? Just look

at China to see what they do with their dissidents. Open a

history book and see what Russia, in their Soviet Union days,

did with their dissidents. Do you know that the CPUSA

(Communist Party USA) has not nominated a candidate for

President in recent years, this year included? That's because

they have publicly announced that their stands on the issues

of the day are so much in allignment with the Democrats

that they are simply recommending to their comrades that

they vote Democrat. They found political commonalities with

Barack Obama and with this year's Democrat nominee

Joe Biden, and with the Democrat platform. This illustrates 

how far the Dems have sailed leftward, they are now that 

extreme in their politics and therefore cannot any longer be 

trusted with power. 

Your serious Peasant is not going to offer any Halloween

bromides, no such humor, this Halloween day, as there are

so many serious issues for us to deal with. Let us pray that

we can once again engage in levity and laughter after

November 3.

So, there's plenty of reasons and plenty of motivation to 

vote in this election. Vote as if your country, your freedom,

and your lives depend on it. Because they do. 

Vote Trump. Vote Republican. Vote freedom.
