CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 1, 2024
HAPPY NEW YEAR IS THE EXPRESSON, BUT IT HAS ALL THE WEIGHT OF SAYING “HAVE A NICE DAY.”
THE PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES FROM 2023 WILL CONTINUE IN 2024, EXCEPT THEY WILL LIKELY GET WORSE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NOVEMBER ELECTION AND ALL THE EVENTS THAT WILL TAKE PLACE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. THIS INCLUDES THE TRIALS OF AN EX-PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF “IFS” THAT COULD HAPPEN THIS YEAR. IF TRUMP IS CONVICTED, WHAT THEN? IF HE WINS THE PRESIDENCY, WHAT THEN? IF REPUBLICANS LOSE THEIR THIN HOUSE MAJORITY AND HAKEEM JEFFRIES BECOMES SPEAKER, WATCH FOR MORE IMPEACHMENTS OF TRUMP.
IF THE BORDER STAYS OPEN, WHAT THEN? IF TRUMP WINS, WILL HE CLOSE IT AS PROMISED? WHO WOULD SERVE HIM GIVEN THE CHAOS, INCLUDING RETRIBUTION, HE HAS PROMISED? WHO WOULD WANT TO BE HIS VICE PRESIDENT GIVEN THE WAY HE TREATED MIKE PENCE?
IF GOVERNMENT REMAINS DIVIDED AND NOTHING SUBSTANTIVE IS ACCOMPLISHED, IT WILL BE THE FAULT OF VOTERS. IF WE DON’T LIKE THE GOVERNMENT LEADERS WE HAVE, REPLACE THEM WITH LEADERS WHO WILL SERVE THE CONSTITUTION, NOT THEMSELVES. SADLY, THAT’S NOT WHERE WE ARE AS A NATION AND WE GET THE LEADERSHIP WE DESERVE. SO, HAPPY NEW YEAR AND GOOD LUCK. I’M CAL THOMAS.
