Donald Trump easily carried both the popular vote and the Electoral College in this last election. He was aided by three trends that the GOP should understand well if they wish to have what the Democrats had from 1932-1952, an era of total dominance in federal elections. (more…)

There are many good reasons to oppose a Kamala presidency, chief of which are open borders, her support for disarming lawful citizens, and the fact that we can expect more anti-white diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies from the ultimate DEI hire.

Creating & Expanding the Solid South
The end of Reconstruction did not immediately lead to segregation or the disenfranchisement of sub-Saharans in the South or any other part of the country. In 1878, segregation and sub-Saharan disenfranchisement seemed impossible — especially since the South had just barely thrown off a military occupation government. In parts of the South, in fact, sub-Saharans outnumbered whites. South Carolina even had a white minority. (more…)

The Fourteenth Amendment, Foreign Policy, & Commander-in-Chief Grant
With the South under the United States Army’s heel, the Radical Republicans turned the Civil Rights Act of 1866 into the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868.

The money will especially go toward canvassing, paid advertising, digital marketing, and research and analytics. Efforts will be made to convince black men in particular to vote for Donald Trump and the Republicans in November. (more…)

But what also stood out and magnified those other aspects were his new ideas, or at least ideas that both sides of the political establishment had tacitly agreed to avoid. (more…)
