The Calm Before the Storm

Hope is the anchor that holds us steady in the storm.

The older I get the faster time goes by. Except lately. It’s only been a couple of weeks since the 2024 election, yet it feels like the inauguration is so far out of reach. It’s like being in the movie The Matrix watching Keanu Reeves dodging bullets in a long black trench coat. Everything is spinning around him as he’s in slow motion. Time is standing still.

My mind is both everywhere and nowhere these days. For the first time since 2017, I feel at peace with the world of politics. That alone makes me feel like something is up. I have been hyper focused on President Trump and the world around him for the last eight or more years. Suddenly though, I seem more focused on life than on politics. While it’s a welcome relief, it also makes me suspicious. It feels like the calm before the storm.

A lot has changed since the last time President Trump was allowed to become President. There are no chants of “lock her up,” allegations of Russian collusion, or spying on campaigns. Some things remain the same though as the lunatics in ugly pink hats are planning their march for January 18th. A National Day of Action is planned for January 20th. And of course, since the inauguration falls on MLK Day, Reverend Al Sharpton is getting his crew ready for an honest day’s work. Even though Madonna may not be around to threaten to blow up the White House, I don’t think we’ll see the nonsense we saw in 2017. That inauguration was chaotic and stressful. Luckily, this time it’s just a normal guy who won a normal election and we’re going to have a normal Presidency.

Sure.  

Just like any normal president-elect would do, President Trump has been announcing his nominations for Cabinet positions. They’ve been all over the board. Some are exciting. Some are confusing. Little Marco Rubio, who Trump once said couldn’t get elected as dog catcher of Florida, is his pick for Secretary of State. I’ve never done any research on Marco Rubio because I don’t find him that interesting. Anything I know about him comes from his presidential run in 2016. He strikes me as a RINO, not overly intelligent, and not a very stately man. There are theories being tossed around that President Trump picked him so that he would be removed from the Senate, placed into a position of employment, and could then be fired. This would then rid the country of Marco Rubio’s government power while freeing up a Senate seat. This way of thinking causes cracks in my brain. Are we done believing in election fraud? Weren’t people like Marco Rubio placed into the Senate by way of a fraudulent system? Is appointing people to civilian positions the only way to save us from fraudulently elected officials?

Another theory surrounding Marco Rubio is that his removal from the Senate would allow Lara Trump to take over the vacancy and put a true MAGA conservative in that spot. Is removing someone from an elected position into a government job the workaround for fraudulent elections? Rather than fix the fraudulent system, we just shuffle people around so we get the right representatives in office? That’s putting a Band-Aid on a gaping wound that I don’t think any of us should be comfortable with.

The most interesting nominee for me was Matt Gaetz. Whether he is qualified to serve as Attorney General is beyond me, but it sure got people talking. The news was filled with stories about Gaetz as the House Ethics Committee considered releasing a report on his sexual misconduct allegations. They ultimately decided against releasing the report since it was probably unfounded. President Trump had to know those allegations would be an issue and would cause turmoil in a confirmation hearing. Why did he nominate him? The mainstream and social media spent a lot of time discussing Gaetz and his nomination, only for him to withdraw his name shortly after. Was this a serious nomination or just another way to distract us?

As conversations surrounding the confirmation process for Trump’s nominees continue it sounds like we’re still in the “before we woke up and realized just how rigged our elections are” world that we’ve been in our entire lives. Talking about the confirmation process lends validity to the election process. It’s like saying that the nominees chosen by our legitimately elected President are going to be confirmed by illegitimately elected people. It’s asinine and makes no sense. Will non-America First people in government have the power to stop President Trump from getting the results he’s worked years – if not decades – toward achieving for our country? If so, why did we have to suffer through the last eight years?

I don’t see the Justice Kavanaugh-type confirmation circus hearings happening. Those were a disgusting display of American Marxism that should never be allowed to happen again in this country. (And Christine Blasey-Ford should be prosecuted for her role in it.) Maybe I’m naïve but I honestly trust The Plan and The Patriots. I believe the work is done. The Marxists are no longer relevant and they have no power. Most Americans just aren’t aware of it yet. But they need to be. The level of ignorance of so many of our fellow Americans is shocking and concerning. There are people who honestly believe they would rather leave this country than live under the dictatorship that the television told them they would live with under President Trump. That has got to change.

The nominations and confirmation discussions are more distractions keeping our attention elsewhere. What are we being distracted from? Hopefully, it’s from the disclosure that has to be coming.

Where is President Trump? We went from nearly daily rallies to a handful of appearances since the election. The Agenda 47 videos that are popping up on social media are not new. Many of them are from 2023. While he seems to be keeping a low profile, he has made a few appearances.

On November 13th, Joe Biden welcomed him to the Oval Office to talk about “a transition that’s so smooth it’ll be as smooth as it can get.”

On November 14th he hosted a gala at Mar A Lago.

On November 17th he attended a UFC fight where the love for him was on full display by the crowd and the fighters.

And on November 20th he attended a SpaceX launch with Elon Musk. (I love the man but this version of him looks like something from Madame Tussaud’s wax museum.)

Other than these appearances, he has been relatively quiet.

With two months to go, I find it hard to believe that we are going to waltz into the inauguration like we have so many times in the past. (2020 doesn’t count.) Things are too quiet, too…normal. But nothing has changed. The 2020 election was stolen, and it still hasn’t been addressed. Will the 2020 election be swept under the rug as we move forward into the Golden Age that he’s promised us? What was the point of waking so many of us up, of the Q operation, if we’re just going to move forward without justice?

President Trump may have won, but there are still many inconsistencies in other races. In Now What?, I said that I believe that the cheat was overcome in 2016, allowed to continue in 2020, and overcome again in 2024. President Trump posted the following to Truth Social on September 7, September 8, and again on October 25.

He warned them and they did it again. I don’t think those warnings were centered around the presidential election. His win was guaranteed. There was no way the Patriots were going to allow them to steal it from us again. Our country’s future was at stake. Those cease-and-desist warnings were for the down-ballot races, governors’ races, etc. I suspect those are the arrests that we will witness.

Those who participated in the election theft in 2020 have probably already been addressed. Will the theft of the 2024 election be the one that educates the public on how fraudulent our elections have been? Will the Supreme Court issue a ruling between now and the inauguration that will confirm the 2020 election theft? Will some type of constitutional crisis develop that will engage the military? Will it be something similar to J6, only recreated in our favor? I’m having a difficult time believing the peaceful calm surrounding us is going to remain.

For now, Americans are being lulled into thinking that there will be a peaceful transfer of power between Biden and President Trump. When Mike Pompeo was asked in November 2020 if there would be a smooth transition from Trump to the Biden administration, he responded, “There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration, all right. We're ready. The world is watching what's taking place here.” The transcript of that clip on YouTube goes on to include, “We're going to count all the votes / when the process is complete there'll be electors selected / there's a process / the Constitution lays it out pretty clearly / the world should have every confidence that the transition necessary to make sure that the State Department is functional today / successful today and successful with the President who's in office on January 20th a minute after noon.

Joe Biden was sworn in at 11:47 am.

The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution states that the terms of the President and Vice President end at noon on the 20th day of January. President Trump was still President when Biden was sworn in. What happened in those 13 minutes between terms? Who was the real President at a minute after noon as pointed out by Pompeo?

At the meeting with Joe Biden on November 13, President Trump said that it would be “a transition that’s so smooth it’ll be as smooth as it can get.”

During a normal transition period, the new administration uses the time before taking office to fill 4,000 government positions. Yet many media outlets are reporting that President Trump’s team has not signed the agreements required to formally begin the transition process.

Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on November 21st, "Our teams continue to stay in touch" and "as of now... the Trump-Vance transition team has not yet entered into the agreements with the White House and the General Service Administration (GSA)." 

By not signing the agreements, the government can't provide security clearances and briefings to incoming administration officials. The agreements also provide office space, IT equipment, fleet vehicles, and compensation. I don’t think the Trump Administration needs these agreements from a fake administration. They’re either already in place, or the peaceful transfer of power that we're being led to expect from Biden to Trump is not going to take place as planned. I’m banking on the second option.

It's more than likely that there was a peaceful transfer of power in January 2021, only it wasn’t to Joe Biden. As President Trump told Glenn Beck, it was to the “committee of people, and they might not even know who the committee is. They may not even know themselves…a group of people that are in different levels of D.C., and they surround a man that was not the most capable person. By the way, never was, but certainly not anymore." Some refer to this as Devolution and it’s the only thing that makes sense.

My hope is that the next transition will be rocky for some people, but we will embrace it. It will be the re-entry into the new world that was promised to us not by Clinton, Bush, Obama, and their New World Order, but by President Trump and the Patriots. It has to be this way. We need 90% of the people on board to rebuild our country and restore us to American exceptionalism. As Americans, we should all strive to achieve that.

An informed patriotism is what we want. And are we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world? Those of us who are over 35 or so years of age grew up in a different America. We were taught, very directly, what it means to be an American. And we absorbed, almost in the air, a love of country and an appreciation of its institutions. If you didn't get these things from your family, you got them from the neighborhood, from the father down the street who fought in Korea or the family who lost someone at Anzio. Or you could get a sense of patriotism from school. And if all else failed you could get a sense of patriotism from the popular culture. The movies celebrated democratic values and implicitly reinforced the idea that America was special.
