United States President Donald J. Trump has just scored another victory for world peace by getting Tulsi Gabbard appointed as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) after passing through a US Senate confirmation vote. Gabbard is a former anti-war Democrat and decorated military vet.
Gabbard’s background would suggest that she stood capable of winning bipartisan support from the US Senate, but that had proven false, since only Republican senators voted in favor of her nomination. The vote tally - 52 to 48 with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) voting against.
Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Health & Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.), is pending for a Senate confirmation vote. He’s a pro-green, anti-Big Pharma and pro-peace former Democrat, who will likely pass confirmation, but with only Republican senators supporting him.
Trump nominating both Gabbard and RFK Jr. to prominent roles in the administration demonstrates his firm resolve to sweep out neoconservative influence in the Washington Beltway. The neocon agenda endorses American exceptionalism, US engaging in never-ending wars, promoting the US Military Industrial Complex and embracing globalism to enforce American hegemony to all corners of the globe.
Neocon thought leaders and influence-peddlers are employed in the Deep State, US State Department, the Pentagon, US foreign policy think tanks, mainstream media outlets, lobbyist firms and weapons companies. They are the voices. who spark public hysteria to benefit US weapons’ manufacturers.
Think of neocons like sales people and marketers for US defense contractors. When US Congress and White House approve increased US Defense spending in annual budgets, the neocons are raking in bug bucks for themselves and their pay masters - US weapons companies.
When neocons are succeeding that means world peace is failing. Accordingly, President Trump is reforming the US government to shift away from its ‘war time economy’ mode. The ‘new economy’ seeks for peace and prosperity in our world with ‘America First’ as the driving force.
President Trump is moving fast forward to ending the Israel-Gaza War and Ukraine-Russia War. He wants Americans to look inward, to fix the US domestic economy, culture and politics and to stop the madness of neocon globalist warfare and regime-change schemes.
By crushing USAID, we see neocons entering panic mode. We discover that USAID appears to be a money laundering racket and CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) front to fund corrupt US government officials, while subsidizing instability in our world. By destabilizing other sovereign governments that makes many countries beg for military security protections from the USA. Paying for protection costs a lot of money.
Ironically, you would think that Democrats and peaceniks would be praising President Trump for ensuring world peace. They should be shouting from the rooftops, hailing a new era of harmony in the international community.
Nevertheless, Democrats are delivering speeches, declaring war against the Trump administration for halting USAID payments and tackling the US Military Industrial Complex. The biggest supporters of the neocon agenda today are Democrats and their peaceniks’ allies.
How did politics get so insane? What has happened to the Democrat Party? Well, they had gotten taken over by the Clinton, Obama and Biden families. The new Democrat Party serves on behalf of Big Business, Big Pharma and US defense contractors. They have merged with neoconservatives.
Former US Vice President Kamala Harris, Democrat nominee for President in 2024, was endorsed by former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz Cheney. The Cheney family represents the heart and soul of neoconservatism. Harris even invited them on the campaign trail.
Meanwhile, President Trump and his supporters have become the anti-Cheney Party. The GOP is the pro-peace Party, while the Democrats are the pro-war Party.
Old school ‘Kennedy Democrats’ should feel shocked. There was a time when Democrats supported the Forgotten Man and Woman in America. They were anti-Big Business, anti-war, and pro-Labor. But the Clinton family - President Bill Clinton and Hillary - had corrupted the Democrat Party.
The Clinton family grabbed power in the White House in the 1990s to enrich themselves and to make the Democrat Party beholden to Wall Street, Fortune 500 corporations and US defense contractors. By selling out their souls to the highest bidders they turned the leadership of the Democrat Party into neocon war profiteers, while former President Barack Obama kept that pro-war trend ongoing.
So it seems odd that President Trump, a Republican, is breaking the Democrat Party, while supporting world peace.
The Clinton family transformed the Democrat Party and turned them into greedy and war-hungry villains, while Obama accelerating the process.
President Trump is the driver of world peace and he might inspire Democrats to turn against their Party and support their pro-peace mission yet again.
