Another invitation to add my two-cents to TheHustings.news

Posted By on January 16, 2025

Last year I was invited by a longtime automotive writer and friend, Todd Lassa (photo),Todd Lassa to help with writing right column commentary for a political news site — TheHustings.news. The network of writers and journalists he taps into skew politically left for the most part … and he felt my Republican right-leaning (and pro-Trump/Vance) views as a long time reader (and commenter) might help balance right-column content. I obliged after the VP political debate and after the presidential election, even though I’m NOT really a writer … although I pretend to be one by blogging. 😊

This week after he posted a “Twisted Logic” comment from a reader for the left column, he asked if I could perhaps offer a right-column perspective or comment. Again, I took the invitation as if it were a school assignment and they posted my Let’s Start With a Clean Slate this week (for the blog, I also tinkered with a new voice on ElevenLabs to see if it has improved reading ability — it does!)

For those raising alarm about alleged threats to “democracy” while ignoring the blatant overreach of unelected bureaucrats and activist judges against President-Elect Donald J. Trump, it’s clear you’ve succumbed to a narrative driven by Democrats and the biased media. The weaponization of government institutions by partisan actors has exposed just how fragile our republic has become under the influence of radical leftist ideology.

For years, Democrats have leveraged every tool in their arsenal — be it impeachment attempts, endless investigations, or politically motivated indictments — to undermine those who challenge their grip on power. This lawfare isn’t about justice; it’s about silencing dissent and punishing anyone who dares stand in their way.

The Constitution and rule of law are meant to serve as safeguards against tyranny, yet they are being bent and twisted to suit the whims of a political elite that cannot abide opposition. Conservatives and independent thinkers should take heed: today’s targeted leader could be tomorrow’s silenced citizen.

As Americans, we must demand accountability, transparency, and an end to the misuse of power for partisan ends. Without these, the freedoms that define this nation risk becoming relics of a bygone era, sacrificed on the altar of political expediency. Let’s start with a clean slate next week and give President Trump an opportunity to prove his competence and ability to lead America and all our citizens towards a brighter tomorrow.
