“AND SO IT BEGINS!”
Donald Trump’s dramatic, four-word salvo on Truth Social just before midnight Tuesday means he knows the honeymoon is over.
After thumping wins by radical Democrats — a tautology now, of course — the battle lines are clear.
The president knows he has just one year until the midterms to fireproof his agenda and safeguard future elections against Democrat fraud.
That’s why he wants to end the filibuster.
The 60-vote Senate threshold is strangling Republican priorities and is allowing Democrats to shut down the government for the fifth week while blaming Trump.
Yet too many Senate Republicans don’t know what time it is.
They are clinging to outdated niceties that Democrats are itching to blow up as soon as they get their hands back on the reins — which will be soon if the GOP old guard doesn’t wake up.
Trump has always known what time it is, from the day he glided into history aboard his golden escalator and was targeted for destruction every which way for the last 10 years.
That’s why in every election they contested Tuesday, Democrats used Trump as their bogeyman.
One year ago Trump scored crushing victories across the board, winning the Electoral College, the popular vote, the House, the Senate, and every swing state, and gaining ground in nearly every demographic and region.
America rejected Democrats’ menu, even after Dems jettisoned Joe Biden: the DEI liberal Kamala Harris and her running mate, the conservative-coded, gun totin’ liberal dad Tim Walz.
Two new leftist flavors
But this time Democrats offered two new flavors: a Muslim immigrant communist for the big blue city and white liberal “national security moms” for the white-flight suburbs.
They had one thing in common: hating Donald Trump.
“Here in New Jersey, we know that this nation has not ever been, nor will it ever be, ruled by kings,” said Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a former federal prosecutor and Navy helicopter pilot in her victory speech after winning the race for New Jersey governor.
Sherrill was the mirror image of Abigail Spanberger, the former CIA officer who won Virginia’s gubernatorial race and helped her AG running mate Jay Jones over the line, despite his fantasies of murdering a Republican rival and his children.
Their national security credentials, pleasant middle-aged suburban-mom appearances, and moderate-sounding rhetoric reassured voters alarmed by rising crime and the Democrat embrace of sexual fetishes.
Of course both candidates, despite having daughters, are in favor of males in female change rooms.
In Trump’s hometown, Zohran Mamdani pitched himself as the president’s worst nightmare.
It won him a squeak over 50% of the vote, despite his humble-brag admission that he is “far from the perfect candidate. I am young . . . I am Muslim. I am socialist. And most damning of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this.”
In his coldly triumphalist victory speech in Brooklyn’s Paramount Theater ballroom Tuesday night, Mamdani dropped his smiley mask and addressed Trump directly.
“Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: turn the volume up,” he shouted, to the roaring delight of his supporters.
“New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant.

“So hear me President Trump when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”
Right out of the gate, the anti-cop mayor-elect has set the table to challenge Trump on law and order.
He joins Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, and a cabal of Democrat leaders, like our own Gov. Hochul, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom in opposing federal immigration enforcement operations in blue sanctuary cities.
The president threatened to cut funding to New York if Mandani was elected and send in the National Guard to enforce immigration law and combat crime.
And so he should.
Sadly for those of us who did not choose this fate, the president should show no mercy to his hometown.
Why should voters in Missouri pay to bail out New York?
Trump loves New York and is loath to hurt it — but if Mamdani won’t work with him, he has no choice.
Let the Mamdani experiment sink on its own and be an object lesson for the nation.
Mamdani will blame Trump for his policies not working either way.
The city’s affordability problem is due largely to Democrat policies.
Virtual decriminalization of shoplifting makes groceries more expensive, overregulation strangles developers, landlords and small business with red tape and crippling taxes.
Exhibit A is Hochul’s congestion tax.
Mamdani won the biggest margins with immigrants who have moved to the city within the last 10 years and don’t have much skin in the game, and with voters under 45.
Burning down the house
You can hardly blame young(ish) people for voting for Mamdani.
As Democrat voters all they see is octogenarians squatting in power.
They were lied to about Biden’s senility and then the “Nazi” they were told is an existential threat to humanity won office.
Why wouldn’t they want to burn down the house.
They can’t afford to buy their own house, settle down and partake of the American dream.
The alternative — Andrew Cuomo — was more of the worn-out same.
The only demographic that did not majority-vote for Mamdani was white men.
That’s why they have been demonized and demoralized and relegated to the margins.
That process will only accelerate, with AI set to destroy millions of jobs within a decade.
Affordability was Mamdani’s magic word, though his ideology ensures he will never deliver.
Affordability needs to become the Republican mantra, too.
No more Bidenesque gaslighting about how we are living in a golden era. People don’t feel it.
Trump got the memo, addressing a business forum Wednesday to trumpet news from Walmart that the average cost of a Thanksgiving meal is 25% lower than last year.
“We’re making America affordable again,” he said.
Vice President JD Vance echoed him in a tweet: “We inherited a disaster from Joe Biden, and Rome wasn’t built in a day. We’re going to keep on working to make a decent life affordable in this country, and that’s the metric by which we’ll ultimately be judged in 2026 and beyond.”
That’s why the filibuster must go, so Trump can turbocharge his promised economic boom and protect the rest of the country from Democrat destruction.
