Imagine If…
Kevin McCullough


Imagine if Kamala Harris had won.

Imagine what we wouldn’t know. Imagine what wouldn’t have happened. Imagine the jobs never created, the energy never unleashed, the borders never secured, the enemies never deterred, and the schools never reformed.

Now imagine what has happened under President Trump’s return to the White House—and ask yourself just how much better off we really are.

In just the first 100 days of Trump’s second term, the U.S. economy added over 345,000 jobs. That’s not bureaucratic inflation either—more than half were created in heavy-lift sectors like mining, construction, and manufacturing. Remember those? The industries Harris promised to “transition away from” with a smile and a bullet-pointed climate plan.

Had Harris been sworn in, U.S. Steel would not be in the middle of a $14.9 billion partnership with Japan’s Nippon Steel, a deal expected to create as many as 70,000 jobs and revive America’s industrial backbone. She would’ve strangled it in red tape and environmental virtue-signaling before it left the boardroom. Instead, Trump stood in Pennsylvania and declared that America would build again.

There was a definite choice between GND and DEI handwringing with all the weakness it would bring versus restoring industrial strength, energy security, and utilizing our own resources rather than being dependent.

Rome may have been a great trading nation, but in the end it was dependent on its outlying provinces--on products from elsewhere. That dependency eventually broke the empire.

We were at a similar crossroads, deciding to be a dependent for the foreseeable future, or whether to track back toward self-sufficiency. This is the right direction, and I pray we can keep this up.

The lesser evil argument... The choice was poor either way, and the things that are now undefended  are the reason for it. Look at what's being swallowed whole in that 'Big Beautiful bill', because 'our guy' is doing it.

It wasn't the dependency per se... it was that Rome thought itself too important, and above all that.. It's wealth drove a decadence that produced an elite class that weighed it down big-time with frivolous crap, and they were just as over-lawyered as we are. And over-lawed... Their senate was ridiculous by the end.

That dependency was all the money flowing in to support that evil core... And the change to the Holy Roman empire made little in the way of difference. The Church fixed it for a minute, but (and forgive me for it) the corruption entered the church instead, and soon enough....
