In Las Vegas for work so this is going to be memes, tweets and about 5 minutes of rant. The timing works because it’s mostly a ‘nothing’ week other than the current lame duck Administration and Permanent State doing everything they can to start World War 3. Whether this is a last Hail Mary to prevent a peaceful transfer of power, or just the ultimate “I’d rather watch it burn than be ruled by someone else” move, it’s pretty unprecedented in modern history.
If there were ever a moment to question the competence—or sanity—of the current administration, it’s now. Reports confirm that NATO, likely with U.S. approval, has crossed another dangerous line by facilitating missile strikes inside Russian territory. This is no longer about Ukraine defending its borders; this is an overt escalation into direct conflict with a nuclear superpower. Biden’s strategy—or lack thereof—risks dragging the U.S. into a catastrophic war that no one voted for and no one wants.
Let’s be clear: launching missiles into Russia does nothing to end the conflict or bring peace to the region. Instead, it emboldens Putin, galvanizes the Russian population against the West, and increases the likelihood of retaliatory strikes that could spiral out of control. What’s the endgame here? Are we willing to risk New York or London for Kyiv? Biden’s proxy war has already drained billions from the U.S. Treasury while accomplishing little beyond prolonging suffering on all sides. Now, with this latest move, he’s gambling with global stability.
And here’s the real kicker: we don’t even know who’s making these decisions for the administration. Biden was spotted aimlessly wandering around the Amazon this week, looking like he was three cups deep into an Ayahuasca ceremony. Meanwhile, Vice-President what’s her face—who no one has seen or heard from since getting stomped in the election—is apparently vacationing in Hawaii. You’d think launching missiles into a nuclear power’s backyard and risking escalation or outright retaliation would be the sort of monumental act requiring the President or Vice-President to be actually at work. Yet, the administration feels more like a rudderless ship, with critical decisions seemingly left to unelected advisors or bureaucrats operating in the shadows.
This isn’t just poor judgment—it’s reckless brinkmanship. History will not look kindly on a U.S. president who turned a regional conflict into a global one through hubris and incompetence. And let’s not forget the convenient timing: this escalation distracts from Biden’s mounting domestic failures, from spiking inflation to the ongoing border crisis to the historic stomping of not just the party in power’s hand picked candidate, but to their entire Woke World ideology. It’s a classic wag-the-dog scenario, but this time the stakes are existential.
And let’s not forget NATO’s role in this whole debacle.
Once a defensive alliance, NATO has morphed into an unaccountable war machine that serves the interests of a few at the expense of many. What started as a mission to protect Europe from Soviet aggression has become an excuse for endless expansion and intervention. This latest chapter in Ukraine exposes the alliance’s dangerous trajectory. Instead of fostering dialogue and de-escalation, NATO has become a vehicle for perpetual conflict.
The reality is that most NATO countries aren’t even meeting their defense spending obligations, leaving the U.S. to foot the bill for a war most Americans don’t support. Europe, with its energy crisis and economic woes, is hardly in a position to lead. Meanwhile, the Biden administration’s insistence on doubling down in Ukraine ignores the growing discontent at home and abroad. The American people are tired of endless wars that enrich defense contractors while bankrupting the middle class. It’s time to bring NATO back to its original purpose—or rethink its role entirely.
Moving Forward
As we move forward, Trump’s priority should be preparing for a seamless transition to his administration. This means building out his team, filling critical roles, drafting executive orders, and being fully prepared to hit the ground running on day one. The groundwork for change must be laid now.
Logan Act be damned, thankfully Trump has been effectively using his platform to influence policy and urge leaders at home and abroad to exercise patience and start acting in the best interests of their people - especially with regard to the spiraling conflict in Ukraine/Russia. His bully pulpit is already shaping the narrative for what’s to come.
Domestically, Republicans need to stay laser-focused on the races still being contested. Let me be blunt: if votes are still being counted three weeks—or even 72 hours—after Election Day, there’s almost certainly foul play. It doesn’t take that long. Trump must continue hammering the message that his first DOJ Task Force will aggressively investigate election fraud in 2024, then move back to 2020 and beyond. Those who undermined the integrity of the vote must face justice.
Simultaneously, pressure must be maintained on RINOs like Murkowski and Collins. If they refuse to align with Trump’s mandate, then a PAC—backed by Elon Musk and others—should be launched immediately to fund challengers in the 2026 primaries. Treat them as the uniparty operatives they are, blocking real progress.
The time for half-measures is over. This is about restoring trust, accountability, and power back to the American people. Let’s keep the momentum.
Meanwhile and elsewhere, remind me of Einstein’s definition of insanity again?
As we head into the final months of 2024, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Biden’s reckless actions in Ukraine have brought us to the brink, while Trump’s emerging vision offers a path back to strength and stability. American liberals and leftists will soon face a choice: continue down the road of endless wars and internal decline or embrace a new era of leadership that puts America First.
The choice should be obvious. Let’s hope the mental crowd agrees.
Until next time, stay sovereign.
Daniel Penny
Keep Daniel Penny in your prayers this week. The defense has rested, and his fate will soon be in the hands of the jury.
Pray for common sense. Pray for sanity.
If New Yorkers—or the jury—needed a stark reminder of what happens when Good Samaritans like Penny are vilified and prosecuted, they didn’t have to look far. Another homeless madman murdered three innocent people in broad daylight this week. This is the inevitable result of a society that punishes those who step up to protect others while allowing chaos to run unchecked.
When you remove Good Samaritans from the equation, the predators aren’t deterred—they’re emboldened. What’s left is exactly what we see now: a city where law-abiding citizens fear intervention, and the vulnerable are left at the mercy of those who exploit the system’s weakness. Daniel Penny’s case isn’t just about him; it’s about the kind of society we want to live in.
The jury’s decision will speak volumes—not just for Penny, but for every New Yorker who still dares to hope for a city where courage is honored, not criminalized. Let’s hope they get it right.
