Middle America calls for a resolution to a couple of nagging problems.
Heartlanders tend to pshaw New Year’s resolutions: Country folk are usually too grounded in reality to fall for that setup to disappointment. Instead, Middle America has some resolutions for President Donald Trump. Although the coastal regions may disagree, conservatives, Blue Dog Democrats, and a good share of the libertarian kind are ready to oust those responsible for major fraud in Minnesota and the giant sucking sound coming from Ukraine.
Obama’s Legacy of Hate
“The Somali community has ALWAYS been a part of my Minnesota,” Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan beamed as she sported a hijab while creating a selfie video in an Islamic-only neighborhood. Despite her and Governor Tim Walz’s perspective, however, people in the heartland are ready to help Minnesotans reclaim their state.
David Jackson in the Sooner State had something to say about that: “I think Sven and Ollie would disagree.” And in Georgia, Robbie May pointed out the switcheroo tactic that the Democratic Party is famous for: “Did she just appropriate their culture to try to score a political point?”
Well, she went into a public market in broad daylight in case the pandering went sideways. And Bernie Lane of Mobile, AL, had something to add: “Walk around down there at night by yourself.”
In Cincinnati, Jeff Yount reminded us: “I never heard of Jesus dressing up like a Roman to prove his love for them.”
And then the Daily Caller published an article titled “Seven People We Want to Deport for the Holidays,” which sparked too many discussions and comments to print. But here is a taste.
Jan Čermák of Fort Worth pondered how they sorted the many folks that should be on the list: “Seven? I could easily find you 7000 just in Tarrant County, TX.” Jan was referencing the push to build an Islamic-only town.
Kevin Roberts, who grew up in the great Gopher State, said: “I’m thinking probably the whole state of Minnesota. Just saying.”
Charlee Thompson of Lanark, IL, may have had the best idea, though: “Give Minnesota back to the citizens of MN.”
But Joseph Fuller in Indiana brought some Biblical wisdom to the equation:
“Deuteronomy 28:43-44 (but read to verse 53!)
“43 Foreigners who live in your land will gain more and more power, while you gradually lose yours.
“44 They will have money to lend you, but you will have none to lend them. In the end they will be your rulers.”
Nobody wants that.
Trump and the Eastern Europe Landmine
After several rounds of so-called peace talks, Presidents Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine and Vladimir Putin of Russia are still at war. It’s beginning to look like Trump won’t win with the art of the deal in this case.
“The President’s team sees that stark reality but also envisions a golden future for Ukraine once the fighting stops—a prosperous, strong, independent nation could rise from the ashes we see today,” Morgan Murphy, former Trump White House official and current Republican Senate candidate in Alabama, told the Daily Caller. “To get there will take a deal that likely leaves all parties—Ukraine, Russia, and Europe—unhappy when they leave the negotiation table.”
Heartlanders are ready for Ukraine to stand on its own and for President Zelensky to ditch the short pants and make a deal. The billions of dollars forked over since Biden allowed the war to break out in 2022 should be plenty. The good folks in the small towns, cities, and rural America pay their bills and are tired of funding a puppet show across the pond and beyond.
Just ask Troy Hamilton of Seabrook, TX, who said: “Stop sending money and arms, the conflict will be over in a matter of minutes.”
Well, Mr. Trump, there are the resolutions for your 2026. Believe you me, there are plenty more to resolve, but we’ll start with the obvious.
Happy New Year From the Back Forty folks!
