A New Time for Choosing
By Isabelle Redfield
Over the last ten years, I’ve been fortunate enough to be in “the arena” with political powerhouses. Personally, professionally, and online, I have supported allies, mentors, peers, and bosses in the effort to “Make America Great Again,” which today — and I say this sincerely — means defeating communism in America. However, none of these experiences has compared to my time at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
A few notes on my week there before we get into why this is unequivocally the most pivotal election in American history, why we must proceed with caution and resolve, and why you should care.
In one word, the party’s meeting in Milwaukee was glorious. It was a confluence of vibrant personalities who were fired up to share their love of country and their enduring appreciation for a man who never quits: Donald J. Trump.
For a million and one reasons, the 2024 convention was distinct from any other. The GOP infighting that characterized the 2020s had disappeared. The buzz was palatable from the moment I landed in Wisconsin. On the road from the airport to the city center, billboards of DTJ quips and one-liners welcomed convention-goers. Uber drivers hummed around the perimeter of the venue in anticipation.
And then it happened.
The assassination attempt. The viral photo. On the ground in Milwaukee, there was little disruption. After it was confirmed that the president survived, the news was, oddly enough, anything but earth-shattering. As dismal as this may read, highly political people who have given their time and treasure to this movement and this president are immune to nearly everything. We pray for the best but anticipate the worst from our enemies. The fact that President Trump wasn’t shot sooner is thanks to the brave agents in his security detail, although they faced a close call on July 13.
The threat was always looming.
The timing, of course, a mere 30 hours before the RNC, and the fact that we have so few answered questions weeks later, continues to fuel conspiracies. But I reiterate that as soon as we knew the president was alive, the team in Milwaukee was more prepared, enthusiastic, and grateful than ever to finalize his nomination.
Another badge of honor. President Reagan famously chirped, “Missed me!” but my favorite new line that came from Trump’s first rally post-convention: “I took a bullet for democracy.”
Following the attempted assassination, avoided only by a gust of wind and the grace of God, the RNC was the most successful, historic, and uplifting of our political era. The coordination of local agencies and staff to sign in some 50,000 VIPs, monitor late-night after parties, and host epic concerts, the First Family, dignitaries, and Tucker Carlson himself was a feat like no other. The event was spectacular and seamless. The finale was exquisite. (You can see further RNC coverage from the floor here.) The energy and, frankly, the divine love I witnessed throughout the week gave me an ironclad impression that we are taking 2024 hand over fist.
We were confident that we had already defeated Joe Biden. But just like the way he hid in his basement in 2020, Biden was squirreled away by his handlers again. Rumors… intrigue… and BOOM. Fellow Americans, turn your attention away from the GOP’s success and welcome Kamala Harris.
Kamala is laughable at first, no pun intended. But as I emerge from the fanfare, I recognize a Kamala presidency could become reality. I don’t need to convince any loyal TC girls why Harris is an extraordinarily unlikable and unacceptable character. After all, the Democrats just dismissed 14 million voters to install a nominee who never made it past the Iowa primary in 2020.
But as a party, and as “influencers,” we need to recognize there is a significant contingent of people, particularly young voters, who have no real political interests or material needs and who psychologically equate their purpose in life to cheering on ‘social progress.’
Kamala is their candidate.
I am speaking to those women who are not politics aficionados. Those women who see the manufactured media hype around Kamala and believe it’s a historic opportunity for a woman to shine. Maybe you drift closer to the Left on abortion because you imagine yourself in that high-stakes scenario, despite abundant birth control access, and you don’t know who to believe.
Harris, like Hillary Clinton, does not deserve to be the anointed one by default. Those who agree are not “misogynistic” or racist. Harris may relish the spotlight and capitalize on a media moment, but her fake stardom does not make her fit to lead our nation.
We are in a moment of peril. What is our moment? Government persecution of political opponents, turmoil, rot, the destruction of our national sovereignty via an open-border, international conflict, lost hope in our economic future, and mounting assaults on our constitutional system.
Harris’s record proves she is 1) incapable and 2) has no intention of leading America to peace and prosperity. She is a radical that wants to solidify and expand communism’s foothold in this country. She is the type of authoritarian who lies about her past policy positions to get elected then steamrolls her agenda once in office. She commands virtually no respect on the world stage. She is the preferred US candidate for dictatorial regimes who harbor terrorism worldwide. She is a deep-state bureaucrat who champions corruption. Harris is friendlier to those who demonize this country than those who love it.
In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Ben Carson aptly noted:
We need to recognize that we’re being manipulated. And this goes back a long way. There have always been people who have not been happy with the United States and with the way that we do things. And, you can go all the way back to 1963 and look at the Congressional Record. January the 10th, 1963. Congressman Herlong of Florida read into the record the 45 goals of Communism in America and how they plan to fundamentally change our society. It was derived from a book called The Naked Communists by W. Cleon Skousen, who was a CIA agent.
And I had done a lot of study on communism and its effect. And you look at those 45 goals, it was things like gaining control of the public school system and the teacher unions, so that you can indoctrinate the kids, gaining control of the news media and Hollywood so that you can manipulate the opinions of people, denigrating the role of the family, denigrating the role of the church, getting into the churches and changing the real gospel to the ‘social gospel,’ making sexual perversion normal, natural, and healthy. I mean, just right down the line, all the things that are happening in our society right now. And we, the American people, are the pawns who are being manipulated.
And it’s one of the reasons that Khrushchev was so confident when he talked to Eisenhower and said that your grandchildren’s children will live under our system. We won’t have to fight a war. Because we think we won the Cold War, but they had a much better plan on how to actually change us. And we’re falling for it. And we, the American people, have got to wake up before it’s too late.
We’ve got to understand that part of the the goal to overcome us is to divide us on the basis of race, age, income, gender, political affiliation, religion. Yeah, because a house divided against itself cannot stand. Jesus said it. Abraham Lincoln reiterated it, and it’s absolutely true. And you look and you see what’s happening to our society. You know, we are neighbors and friends and coworkers and colleagues. We are not enemies. And look at the first letter of each of those words. We Are Not Enemies — W.A.N.E. We’ve allowed hatred and division to wax for a long time. Now it’s time to let it wane and come together once again.
Now, and every day until November 5, is a time for choosing. It’s time to reinstate common sense. It’s time to be proud citizens and daughters of this great nation. It’s time to Make America Great Again.
The Trump campaign is prepared to run against any challenger. Their organization is built for their candidate, not their opposition. Their tactics and resolve, running on Trump’s outstanding record, remain steadfast. Take a close look at the trials Trump has triumphantly overcome since he first came down that escalator in 2015.
Impeached, arrested, convicted, shot – Still fighting. Ask yourself why he has been relentlessly targeted, never quits, and continues to prevail. The deep state, the regime’s media machine, and our adversaries are scared for their lives. We the people have nothing to fear but fear itself.
Let’s save America. Trump 2024. Start by sending this to someone who needs to hear it.
