In a previous column, “Making
Sodom and Gomorrah Great Again,” I warned about the left-ward drift of
the Trump for president campaign. It has gotten worse. He is now promoting
legalization of dope.
Some say it doesn’t matter, that they will support Trump no matter what. They
say only Trump will save America from communism. But if Trump is adopting
elements of the communist agenda for America, moving left on dope, gays, and
abortion, many conservatives will start having second thoughts about whether to
support him. If they perceive he wants to win at any cost, without regard to
the moral issues that grip the nation, he will lose many votes, perhaps
millions from Christians and conservatives.
At a time when the new
Reagan movie is gripping the nation, providing an opportunity for Trump to copy
Reagan’s politically successful playbook, Trump has decided to jettison one of
the main legs of Trump’s three-legged stool of foreign policy, economic, and
social conservatives as a strategy of winning. Trump has decided to appeal to
Cultural Marxists by embracing legalized marijuana.
David G Evans, Senior Counsel for the group, Cannabis Industry Victims
Educating Litigators, told me in a statement, “We are very disappointed that
Trump has caved into the left-wing drug legalization scam funded by
George Soros. Marijuana legalization has caused increases in addiction,
mental illness, crime, and violence. Trump is acting in ignorance of the
damage that has been caused in those states that have legalized marijuana. We
get many calls from parents about how marijuana has destroyed their children.
Trump has now come down on the side of addiction for profit. Not even Biden has
come out in favor of legalization.”
As Evans indicates, Trump’s dramatic turn in favor of legalized marijuana
doesn’t make sense politically. Historically, it’s stupid for a Republican to
pander to the stoners and the Soros-supported legalization movement, which is
backing the Democrats.
In we examine history, especially Reagan’s strategy of having a “three-legged”
stool of political support from fiscal/economic, foreign policy, and
Christan/social conservatives, we quickly realize that, on this basis, Reagan
was elected for two terms. His second win was a landslide.
The culture has changed
for the worst, to be sure, but this is no time to abandon the fight to the
marijuana industry, the abortion business, and the “gay” lobby, now in a new
phase that inevitably leads to acceptance of pedophilia.
Yet, in that previous column, I noted that Trump’s wife Melania, a Catholic,
was raising money for the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay activist group that
supports homosexual “marriage” and other radical LGBTQ agenda items.
In addition to this betrayal, Trump has already embraced liberal abortion laws,
abortion pills, and now, in his own Truth Social Account, has endorsed the
so-called “recreational” use of marijuana in his home state of Florida. He
claims it is inevitable.
It’s only inevitable if principled conservatives allow it.
In addition to drifting to the left on abortion, gay rights, and marijuana,
thereby alienating conservatives and Christians, he is being surrounded by
figures who have a history of advocating sacrificing Ukraine to Vladimir
Putin’s Russia, jeopardizing the “peace through strength” element of the
Republican coalition that was prominent under Reagan.
Those figures include Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, and RFK Jr.
None of this will concern the so-called “MAGA Media,” or even such Fox News
personalities as Greg Gutfeld, who, on the abortion issue, once declared that
it has “become an acceptable evil” in America and we will just have to live
with it. He advocated taking abortion “off the table,” which he claimed would
enable Republicans to win votes and “be in power forever.”
This seems to be the new
Trump position on abortion, gays, and now dope.
In another previous column, Trump
Campaign Embraces Abortion and Homosexuality, I
noted that the Trump for president campaign was signaling that the
anti-Christian social order is too strong for Trump to overcome and that he is
making a deal with the devil to win the November election.
With his endorsement of legal dope, he is apparently trying to appease the
Soros-funded drug legalization movement.
But Reagan never would
have agreed with this dangerous drift to the left. He didn’t have to deal with
the homosexual problem, but his wife Nancy was a great proponent of the “Just
Say No” campaign against marijuana and other dangerous drugs.
Now, Trump is saying “Yes” to legal dope, on the grounds that many people want
to smoke the drug and get high. He wants to cede ground to those wanting to
addict our young people to a mind-altering drug.
Trump’s turn on abortion was bad enough, and that betrayal demonstrates his
lack of knowledge of the communist menace.
In the new Reagan movie, Reagan is shown reading the book, Witness, by
ex-Communist Whittaker Chambers, in which he discusses going from pro-abortion
to pro-life.
Chambers said, “There were Communist doctors who rendered that service
[abortion] for a small fee. Communists who were more choosy knew liberal
doctors who would render the same service for a larger fee. Abortion, which now
fills me with physical horror, I then regarded, like all Communists, as a mere
physical manipulation.”
In 1933, when his wife became pregnant, Chambers said that he and his wife
immediately knew that, as faithful communists, their immediate option was
abortion. But his wife came over, took his hands, and burst into tears, saying,
“We couldn’t do that awful thing to a little baby, not to a little baby.” It
was the instinct of a mother.
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner once provided the dirty secret behind abortion – it
keeps women sexually available to men. That’s why he funded the “abortion
rights” movement.
When he ran for the first
time, Trump was considered pro-life, and his supporters carried signs that
said, “Make Unborn Babies Great Again.”
Now his pro-life supporters are alienated and sickened by his turn, for crass
political reasons, in favor of death and suffering for the unborn (under
limited circumstances and certain time limits, he claims). His reasoning is
that he wants the votes of women who find giving birth inconvenient to their
career plans. He buys the feminist argument that babies up to a certain
point are not human beings.
Under Trump, the 2024 Republican platform has not only dropped support for a
human life amendment to protect the rights of the unborn but has dropped
opposition to so-called gay marriage. Now Trump wants legal dope.
Trump sometimes compares himself to Reagan, but it was Reagan who wrote “Abortion
and the Conscience of a Nation,” about his conversion to the pro-life
point of view.
Chambers’ book Witness, which had such a profound impact
on Reagan, was about more than abortion. It was about an even greater struggle
between the forces of darkness and light, of which communism versus freedom was
just one chapter.
Trump says he opposes communism, like Reagan, but moving into alignment with
the forces of darkness on matters of life and death just so he can win an
election is not Godly.
The only thing Truth has going for Him in this world is us.
The restoration of Truth = Reality in the hearts and minds of men is now totally dependent upon you and me; if we don't do it, it won't get done.
Pray for a strategic alliance between President Trump and excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano against the common conspiratorial criminality in the American and Catholic political parties.

From your pen to Trump's eyes.
I well remember the Reagan re-revolution as I called it. The "Silent Majority" he inspired was a whole lot bigger than the forgotten and ignored majority Trump has already inspired.
Today's silent majority has another silent majority within it. And this other silent majority does not include the contraception-minded, abortion-compromising, none-of-our-business dope and gay culture accepting post-VII Bergoglio Catholics, Evangelists and Protestants who are already solidly in the Trump camp.
In Reagan's era the Church, Evangelicals and most Protestant denominations were much more united on the moral issues; today that is no longer true among Christians any more than it is true among the whole American citizenry. Because the moral majority has been split in two.
No one can tell what the real numbers may be, but my gut tells me that there are a whole lot more of not-voting or hold-their-nose voting old time Catholic Trads, old time fundamentalist Protestants and old time Bible-believing Christians of all descriptions out there who,
If Trump could tap into that silent majority within a silent majority, he would, in my opinion, gain many, many more votes from them than he would ever lose by supporting national constitutional amendments legally blessing anything immoral.

Vic

It is our Bishops who betrayed us. American Bishops don't want their diocesan priests to preach against contraception, abortion, marijuana, drunkenness, or fornication, adultery, LGBTQ or against Communist.
Catholic Conservatives don't understand the difference between Church and State. "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's." (Mark 12:17)
You are expecting secular politicians to be holier than America's Bishops. It is your Bishops who betrayed you!
Donald Trump is, by far, the lesser of 2 evils. And before you gripe about that, try #REALITY. We have never had a righteous Catholic president. We have always had to choose between the lesser of 2 evils.
Bad-mouthing Trump and complaining that he is not holier than our Bishops, just helps Kamala Harris, and she is much worse!

I'd be happy if Trump became half as holy as Reagan was, even if only for political reasons, and Reagan wasn't even Catholic. And so would a whole lot of currently not voting Catholics.
