Well, there’s little more than a week until the most important election in most of our lives. And yes, I know we live in Australia and this is a U.S. election but if we want to turn back the tides of mass illegal immigration, suicidal Net Zero policies and the enervating of Western culture from within then the U.S. is ground zero. And we need Trump to beat the most left-wing Democrat candidate ever in Californian Kamala. Joe Biden turned out to be the second most Lefty Presidential Democrat ever, despite selling himself as a centrist in 2020. That’s not least because he took office and immediately repealed over 90 of Trump’s Executive Orders that were making the border more secure – in Biden’s first year numbers went up 10 times on a yearly basis. Somewhere between 10 and 20 million illegal aliens have illicitly come into the U.S. under Biden/Harris. And a good chunk of those were not from South America but from the Middle East and China. Then there were the culture war sallies by Team Biden on the transgender athletes in women’s sports front, wokeness in the military, the many attacks on free speech. And don’t forget the steroidal spending under the laughably misnamed “Inflation Reduction Act” that has made the dollar you had in your hand the day Biden was sworn in worth less than 80 cents today. Real wages have not come close to keeping up with that sort of inflation. (To be balanced though, the U.S. economy is still doing better than ours what with our six straight quarters of per-person-GDP-decline recession. What with our woeful productivity numbers. What with our democratic world’s near highest electricity prices that back in 2005 were the lowest. What with our also world’s virtually highest minimum wage laws. Put bluntly, yes it is much easier to start a business, grow a business, attract capital and top people, and all the rest in America than here, Sleepy Joe’s administration notwithstanding – which is why all Australians should be mightily grateful to the mining sector and farmers in this country who deliver world class results.)
As I write this the betting markets have the Don at a 60% implied chance of winning the election and the polls look good. That’s about a week before many of you will be reading this. If the trends continue as they have been then, fingers crossed, Trump will be doing even better as you cast your eyes down this column.
