Do you feel the winds of change?
Ever since the election there’s been a sea-change, an atmospheric something that’s a bit hard to describe but has the whiff of possibility. I think everyone feels it to a certain extent. The left dreads and fears it, and perhaps it will go sour not just for the left but for everyone. But right now, the feeling is of hope that, finally, America really is on the path to becoming Great Again.
And truth seems stranger than fiction. Donald Trump still seems an unlikely figure to spearhead this kind of renewal, even if we’ve gotten at least somewhat used to him occupying the Oval Office. A great many people would probably date the more recent change from July 13, 2024, when he survived an assassination attempt that came within an inch – literally – of killing him. That was followed by so many other events it could make a person dizzy: the removal of Biden and the temporary elevation of Harris, the campaign in which podcasts became tremendously important, the disgrace of Nancy Pelosi, the post-election grin of Biden, and in the Middle East exploding pagers and targeted assassinations proving that Israel knows exactly where its enemies hide and is newly determined to take them out. Now we have a government in which not only Trump, but Elon Musk and RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy will have a place.
And now, world leaders seem poised on the edge of the change, too, for better or for worse – for example, in Ukraine. Jack Smith’s day in the sun may be over. Javier Milei, the change agent of Argentina, visited Trump, who called him a “MAGA person” as in “Make Argentina Great Again.” The MSM has egg on its face, and now Joe and Mika (of all people) have also come to see president-elect Trump as MSNBC’s rating have dropped precipitously.
And maybe it’s time for a little Bee Gees:
Sort of a resentful retreat on the part of the left. Covering their retreat with yet more insulting fabrications but….obviously with no effect.

Only five??
Star Wars IV: A New Hope, just ending.
Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back, begins soon.
Will Trump survive to lead Star Wars VI: The Return of the Jedi?
As to your question, it is the common belief in freedom of speech that is uniting people across the political spectrum (except maybe the left), lead by Donald Trump, which is revolutionary in itself.
I would call it a miracle.

The word “literally” is greatly overused these days. However, your use here of “literally” is entirely appropriate.
The DC uniparty is going to do their best to sabotage some of Trump’s cabinet selections, e.g. Democrats will vote 100% against RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard for their disloyalty to the party, and enough Republicans will vote “no” just for spite. Gaetz will be blocked, but there is talk that if that happens DeSantis will appoint him to fill out the remainder of Rubio’s term.
Winds of Déjà vu bringing signs of Republican disorder?
Made a comment this mourning about Sarah Palin – Et tu, Sarah – hinting at she had expected a Cabinet job. Missed that sign, then the ‘Flow’ directed me to another this afternoon:
Elon Musk blasts ‘mole’ in astonishing dinner blow-up at Mar-a-Lago as Trump’s golden boy is targeted by green-eyed aides
Bad Signs early…?
Possibility of real and lasting change? Yes, but I’ve felt that before. After Reagan’s success, the Wall comes down, and a popular Democrat is in the White House saying, “The era of big government is over,” And then, in what seemed to me pretty short order, it was all just as bad as ever.
Re: Do you feel the winds of change?
Yeah, well, I toldja so, even before Trump was elected.
