Trump has finally taught Republicans how to fight
Trump defiant
One of the biggest complaints conservatives have had about the Republican Party for decades is that its politicians just would not fight. At the slightest hint that a Democrat was offended or disagreed, they’d fold like a house of cards. And their fear of the propaganda press made them so timid that Democrats could literally do anything and get away with it (as we are now finding out in the USAID scandal, which became a money laundering operation funneling taxpayer funds to partisan leftist organizations and media outlets).
Well, no more. Donald Trump got elected the first time and the second time because the one thing that stood out about him was his unwillingness to back down, and to “Fight! Fight! Fight!” As time has passed and he has been subjected to these same kinds of Democratic Party slander games, instead of folding he has grown stronger and more defiant. And his unwillingness to bow has taught the new generation of Republicans to fight as hard, to not back down, and to stick it right back at Democrats when they try this game.
Today congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) demonstrated she is part of this new generation. In questioning several witnesses about USAID’s absurd and corrupt funding of queer projects in foreign nations, she bluntly used the correct but shortened term for those who like to cross-dress, “tranny” for “transvestites.” This did not sit well with one Democrat, congressman Gerry Connolly (D-Virginia). Watch and be entertained by her response:

She not only refuses to bow, she stuffs the word back in Connolly’s face, and adds most correctly, “You want penises in women’s bathrooms, and I’m not going to have it. It’s disgusting.”
This has always been the correct tactic, but the establishment Republican Party that has failed us for more than three decades always refused to do it. They were either too cowardly, or in league with the Democrats (as we continue to find out) and thus did not want to fight.
That establishment party however no longer controls the Republican Party. In fact, it is largely gone, which explains why Trump and the Republicans are finally getting things done now to reform and clean up the federal government.
May this trend continue for years to come, because it is going to take years to fix the problems and corruption that past cowardice allowed it to take over our government.
More important, this is how you convince people to vote for you. You stand strong on your principles, and fight back. Considering the utter idiocy of present Democratic Party positions, fighting hard against them can only mean more election victories in the coming years.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Ha ha, I bet those flowers went in to a Level 1 clean room for in-depth forensic analysis!
Have you noticed that Elon Musk is absolutely key to this entire process? No doubt he has been advising the Trump team at every point. His own team is uncovering the USAID tendrils enfolding and feeding the bad actors in our government (including some Republicans, apparently) and the $millions in kickbacks to Politico, AP, Reuters, NYT, and surely more to come. The multiple Goebbels of our time. We are seeing the greatest shakeup in American governance since the Civil War. It’s only going to get yuger.
The GOPe cry (whine) always was “That’s not who we are.” Direct translation: “We are losers.”
It is time to give as good – or bad – as the other side does.
And it’s possible that the USAID audit—like many more to come—was simply impossible prior to the combination of AI computing power, and a crazy genius willing to use it against a vast, previously unaccountable governing class on behalf of The People. Musk has been my hero for a long time, even before he opened his eyes about political reality. My feeling of vindication is beyond description. At the same time, I fear his life, Trump’s life, and our nation.
It is a political fantasy fulfilled.
And it is only day 15.
But, do not underestimate the treachery that the both the Democrats and the “Deep State” will go to to throw a monkey wrench in the works.
Let us not be naive.
