In a world where too many people “want what they want when they want it” and expect the world to respond accordingly, a reality check is necessary. Sorry, but the real world simply doesn’t work that way. Instant gratification only works in story books and movies.

I am finishing up my 79^th orbit of the sun. In my most recent 25 or so trips around the sun, I have come to realize some things that seem to be missed by too many people. Instant gratification is an illusion pushed by liars who are trying to control people. Yes, that would be the socialist left and their toadies in the mainstream media. As an example, the left’s latest mantra “affordability” and why isn’t Trump making the economy better faster?

The affordability issue is an easy one to answer. Affordability is a major problem only in cities and states controlled by socialist Democrats who for decades have been pushing the false narrative of “cost effective and efficient green energy.” Renewable green energy has proven to be neither cost effective nor efficient. Affordability has been crushed in these blue state jurisdictions because the population had the actual cost of failed green energy inflicted on them whether they wanted it or not. Those who live in these socialist run blue states are victims of nearly 100 years of fearmongering lies by people who only wanted to control them. It worked for a while, but you can never ever fool reality. In 2025, the green energy piper now has to be paid.

The question about why President Trump, in only 11 months in office hasn’t fixed the American economy is a little more complicated but has always occurred when there is a political party change in the White House. The policies and regulations of an outgoing administration is like a highspeed train or a super-carrier speeding through the ocean. It takes time and distance to turn those things around. My observations suggest that it sometimes takes up to two years for an administration to undo what the previous administration has done in regard to the nation’s economy.

Today (12/12/2025) I see that gas prices are down another six pennies. Late last week I saw that egg prices were down below $2.50 per dozen. Now that fuel costs are down, this reduces the cost of transportation for food, and food prices are slipping down across the board, in red states. By the first anniversary of Trump’s second inauguration, things will be even better than they are today, and fuel and food prices will, no doubt, be even lower than today.

However, patriot ladies and gentlemen, if President Trump is to maximize his efforts in the next three years, he will need more than just our patience. Every one of us needs to be active players to get good honest people elected to Congress in the 2026 mid-term elections. Many of the Congressional swamp creatures, both Democrat and Republican, are choosing not to continue their corrupt-criminal swamp activities. No doubt many, if not most of those retiring, fear the continued uncovering of corruption inside the Washington Beltway criminal enterprise known as Congress. It is my deepest desire to see accountability for corruption dispensed massively in the next few years.

It is important to remember that President Trump has far more information than you and I, and even the talking heads of the fake news media. Patience Grasshopper and watch Trump magic happen again, before your very eyes.
