There are so many takes on the 2024 election and so little time.

Over at Fox News I listed my top 10.

Right now, I’ll just note one: Our national security.

Americans know our national security is endangered by China-Russia-Iran-North Korea’s axis of dictators and we don’t like the prospect of being #2 or even tied for #1. “Peace through strength” is the best option for the President-elect to follow—and to do so with a sweeping set of goals.

The rapid expansion of our fleet, especially under the seas, should be a priority along with the on-going development of asymmetrical weapons and systems.

The selection of Florida Congressman—and Green Beret—Mike Waltz as National Security Advisor and Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense indicate that the Team Trump is serious.

These are good men—and they are serious men. I hope all his senior appointees at DOD commit for the entire four years.

The nation needs them.

There’s a catchphrase in political and media commentary: Never go full Hitler. Comparing anyone to Hitler is over the top, given the historical depth of Hitler’s evil.

But Democrats and the legacy media did it. They went full Hitler on Trump—comparing our next president to the Führer.

Look no further than Joy Reid of MSNBC:

“We've laid out the stakes in this crucial election where one side stands for freedom while the other meets the textbook definition of fascism. Namely a far-right dictatorial regime like Hitler's Germany or Franco Spain, or Mussolini's, Italy.”

We see the results of that strategy in TikTok meltdowns of pitiful souls.

The left will pay a price with its base for its deceit. The rest of America has already seen through all the Democrat hoaxes when it comes to Trump.

Look no further than President Biden who has now hosted the American Hitler for lunch. Really? Americans are seeing it clearly: they have been cynically exploited.

This transition can’t happen soon enough.

There are many reasons to celebrate Donald Trump’s victory, but perhaps none greater than this: It marks the end of the Obama era.

We’ve heard a lot about “norms” in recent years. No one broke a bigger “norm” than Obama in 2016. Rather than leaving the nation’s capitol like every other president, he stayed in D.C. and effectively established himself as a shadow president.

He knew Russiagate was a hoax, and yet he quietly encouraged it. And even in the waning days of the last presidential campaign, Obama was peddling the discredited “very fine people” hoax—deliberately lying about what Trump said about the Charlottesville protests.

Barack Obama’s presidency ushered in an era of hard-left politics and racial division that has left our country more bitter and more divided. Trump’s win was a repudiation of him and what he stands for. It’s about time.

Congratulations to President-Elect Trump, the most unlikely figure in American history in many a generation and one who will be fascinating biographers and historians for decades and decades to come.

If you are shocked, blame legacy media and the deeply dysfunctional blue bubble which Team Trump should absolutely ignore. Cancel your subscriptions. We aren’t buying their nonsense anymore. There’s a new and alternative media out there.

Wednesday morning, indeed, was morning in America again. The sense of relief concerning our national security is immense for me and I’m sure for many of you.

I hope that President Trump’s Second Inaugural draws heavily from President Lincoln’s First, especially these lines: “We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”

Well, he did it. In one of history’s great political comebacks, redemption arcs and hero’s journeys, Donald Trump has risen like the phoenix to reclaim The White House.

Beyond the sheer triumph of the human spirit, Trump’s victory represents a stunning repudiation of legacy media and the permanent Washington establishment. Both these elite communities sought to make support for Trump not just unpopular, but unthinkable.

But in the end, the common sense of the American people prevailed. They saw through the hysterical rantings of a self-important, self-anointed elite. And they realized that the elite’s hatred of Donald Trump wasn’t because he was a dictator, or a criminal, or Hitler. It was because he threatens the cozy status quo that benefits the elite—but not much of anyone else.

And then Americans went to the polls, and they handed Donald Trump a clear cut and indisputable mandate.

And how sweet it was!

We won!

Common sense and moderacy and the repudiation of socialism won. This is a week of celebration, with a parallel to V-E Day; for on V-E Day an ideology was also defeated …. but this time the mechanism was ballots and not bullets.

Yes, what we’ve been watching—slowly and steadily and unapologetically—implanting itself here has been a revolutionary movement inspired by Marxist Socialism … complete with the marginalization of the political opposition, conspiratorial theories, fear mongering, exploitation and propagandization of children, and that old devil moon of each and every socialist enterprise: antisemitism.

The idea that America is not great and shouldn’t be great was repudiated. The idea that nature—indeed human nature itself—can be overcome was repudiated.

And: the conviction that the American experiment is exceptional was vindicated.

But: This win is just a beginning, a beginning to the restoration of common sense, perhaps a sunrise … Morning in America?

We just witnessed the greatest comeback in American political history. I’m not talking about Donald Trump, although it certainly applies to him too. I’m talking about the American people and their mandate to end lawfare as a political tool.

Democrats spent the last two years piling indictment after indictment on Trump, from shady local DAs to the Department of Justice, all to stop Trump from running again.

And with each indictment, voters became attuned to what the left was doing—and they rallied to Trump’s side, turning him into a more powerful political juggernaut. Trump barely won in 2016 and barely lost in 2020. This time, he built a new coalition, flipping Rust Belt and Sun Belt states by firm margins—even winning the popular vote, something no Republican presidential candidate has done in a generation.

The American people just acquitted Trump with a mandate—sending a message to future officeholders to stop using lawfare as a tool to win elections.

It's a win for Trump … and the American people.

As our nation sorts the results of another tense and even acrimonious election, Iran has been—once again—threatening Israel.

The mullahs in Tehran would do well to take stock. After the previous round of the conflict, Iran has been left essentially naked. Israel’s fleet of F-35s flew in and out of the Islamic Republic of Iran, destroying the mullahs’ strategic air defense.

The old “strong horse” versus the “weak horse” paradigm remains strong in the Middle East, and Israel has emerged as a very strong horse indeed.

The entire conflict ought to be considered as the first Israel-Iran war—and hopefully the last. Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government showed the world that if it is provoked by Iran it will no longer accept the hushed urgent appeals from appeasers around the globe including those in the United States. The Israeli Defense Forces can strike anywhere in Iran and with precision.

Whatever happens in this lame duck period, the Biden/Harris team ought to make it unequivocally clear: The U.S. stands with Israel.
