Heroes and Zeroes of 2024 (Trump Reelection Edition)
Hope for the future skyrocketed like an Elon Musk spacecraft at year’s end with the election of Donald Trump. Which heralded not only bright prospects for the greatest nation on Earth, but a blow to the leftist delusions long undermining it. That America is an irredeemable construct of past and present racism, xenophobic borders, environmental damage, toxic men, superior yet somehow still oppressed women, and, most recently, transphobia. A movement based on common sense and patriotism, MAGA, beat the lot of them. Below are its top five MVPs, followed by the electoral year’s biggest losers.
That cackling dull-witted empty pantsuit Kamala Harris was even a contender … indicates how low the country has fallen.
Heroes
Donald Trump. Only Trump could have survived the unprecedented attacks on his life, liberty, and pursuit of leadership, culminating in a bullet to the head and defiant courage under fire. How he rose like the Phoenix from the political and legal ashes will be the stuff of history. Whether a factual history or leftist propaganda depends on how successful he is over the next four years in restoring the country and draining the legacy media — the lifeblood of an undead vampiric party. He has a better chance this term, thanks to his new team of the best and the brightest, chief among them …
Elon Musk. Musk is not only the man of the decade, he’s far out in the lead for Man of the Century. Having revolutionized the auto industry, he looked to the stars and is innovating spacecraft to send Earthlings to Mars. He took time off to save America at great personal cost by buying X/Twitter and rescuing free speech from universal media censorship. This drove leftists more insane, even though they’re welcome to rant on the platform. As an extra benefit, he helped get Trump elected and will dedicate the President’s new term to salvaging the U.S. economy.
Scott Presler. The unsung mover and shaker of the last election, Presler fundamentally moved into Pennsylvania for door-to-door political activism. He signed up truckers, miners, and even Amish, who turned out in droves for Trump. The result of his hard, dedicated work was Trump won the state with the best performance by a Republican presidential candidate since George W. Bush’s post-9/11 victory 20 years ago. Now, Presler plans to do the same in New Jersey ahead of next year’s gubernatorial race.
Robby Starbuck. Wokeness became a dominant force after the questionable 2020 death of criminal arrestee turned social justice martyr George Floyd, permeating every aspect of American society from academia through the entertainment industry to the corporate world. While conservative politicians demurred, Robby Starbuck took action, threatening the richest, most powerful companies with public exposure for their DEI virtue-signaling practices. Most folded like Origami — Walmart, John Deere, Harley Davidson, Coors, Jack Daniels, Toyota, Boring, and many others — terminating DEI and transgender sponsorship.
J.K. Rowling. Though definitely not MAGA, the most successful novelist of today has taken on the censorious forces of transgenderism in socialist-ruled Britain, much like her Harry Potter faced down Lord Voldemort. Rowling defends real women from gender dysphoria with aplomb, recently blasting one activist on X. “There are no trans kids,” she posted. “No child is ‘born in the wrong body.’ There are only adults like you, prepared to sacrifice the health of minors to bolster your belief in an ideology that will end up wreaking more harm than lobotomies and false memory syndrome combined.”
Trump’s blowout election despite his also slamming trans madness emboldened even terminally woke HBO to stand by Rowling on their upcoming Harry Potter series. “We will remain focused on the development of the new series,” HBO told Variety. “Which will only benefit from her involvement.”
Zeroes
Joe Biden. Biden ends his single pathetic term with the conclusion of my Star Trek Election metaphor. He should have heeded the words of Mr. Spock in the classic episode, Amok Time: “After a time, you may find that ‘having’ is not so pleasing a thing as ‘wanting.’ It is not logical, but it is often true.” Biden ultimately fulfilled his four-decade long quest for the White House, only to leave it as the worst President in American history. But God is great, and He let the former title holder, Jimmy Carter, live just long enough to escape that dishonor and die in peace.
Kamala Harris. When the Democratic Party delves deeply into why they got crushed this year, they need look no further than their presidential candidate. That cackling dull-witted empty pantsuit Kamala Harris was even a contender — winning non-crazy states like Virginia and New Mexico — indicates how low the country has fallen. Fortunately, enough sanity remained in every former swing state to reject the nightmare of a Harris presidency and make America great again.
Mainstream Media. In his one debate with Trump, the whole world saw what I cited five years ago yet my liberal peers stridently denied — that Biden was a mind-numbed zombie. “F- you if you can’t handle the truth,” declared Joe Scarborough shortly before the debate on his MSNBC show. “This version of Biden intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.” Everyone in the legacy media promoted the same canard, until the truth exploded on screen. They then depleted the last of their diminishing power to promote Kamala Harris as a viable candidate, and their ratings are still in freefall.
Hollywoke Tough Guys. It’s no surprise that late-night comics Kimmel, Colbert, and Fallon aimed 98 percent of their jokes against Trump this year, according to a new Media Research Center study. Or that sensitive actors Mark Ruffalo, George Clooney, Mark Hamill, Jon Cryer, Tom Hanks, and practically every starlet in Hollywoke bashed the next President. What was disappointing were the macho icons like Harrison Ford, Jeff Bridges (White Dudes for Harris), and Arnold Schwarzenegger that surrendered their male role model status to hype feminist joke Kamala while knocking the man who took a real bullet to the head — unlike any of them — then shrugged it off. And in less than a month, also unlike Schwarzenegger, he’ll be back.
