HALF-FULL REPORT 12/27/24
Well, here we are at the last HFR of 2024 as we say Goodbye to a historical year. This was the year America finally decided to climb out of the abyss of despair and degradation it had dug itself deeply into, choosing instead to stand above ground in the sunshine of freedom and hope.
Next Friday’s HFR on January 3 will be the first of 2025. We’ll be only 17 days away from America Reborn on January 20. What to expect will be in clearer focus by then. Let’s now discuss where we and the world stand at this year’s end.
We’ll start with a moment of true schadenfreude. On Christmas Eve (12/24), Fox News host John Roberts had three Democrat strategists explaining why the Democrat Party is on the verge of actual collapse.
Clinton advisor Gloria Romero: “I believe that in history we are seeing a major inflection point, the complete collapsing of the Democratic Party. This party refuses to recognize that it has lost its way, it is gone with the wind. Whether a new party emerges out of this remains to be seen.”
Advisor to both Bill and Hillary Clinton Doug Schoen: “Democrats have created the greatest deficit in history. And it’s ultimately what cost Kamala Harris and the Democrats control of the White House and the Congress. We need a fiscally prudent Democratic Party that focuses on people’s economic concerns, not woke ideology.”
Founder & CEO of Latino Wall Street Gabriela Berrospi: “The Democrat Party, I cannot recognize it. I’m a former Democrat. Latinos voted in this election with their wallets. We didn’t vote for pronouns. We voted for our paychecks. We voted for safety. We voted with our Catholic values. And the Democrat Party does not represent that. They’ve really lost us.” Watch:

The DINO
It’s unlikely the Democrat Party will cease to exist, like the Whig Party of the mid-1800s that eventually morphed into the Republican Party. Yet it’s clear that Dems have to give up their Woke-DEI-Tranny Worship lunacy, with its advocates increasingly marginalized. To remain players in Washington, the Dem Party will most likely be run by DINOs.
Those of us who are of a certain age recall an earlier pejorative than RINO for GOP squishes: “Me-too Republicans.” They were non-scary moderate-and-mainstream folk supportive of FDR’s New Deal expansion of the Administrative State who promised voters they could accomplish Dem goals more efficiently than the Dems.
Barry Goldwater was their enemy – and the hero of all conservatives like me in the 60s. The quintessential Me-too Republican was Illinois Congressman Bob Michael, in Congress from 1957 through 1994, House Minority Leader 1981-1994. His motto was, “You have to go along to get along” with the Democrats. He was eclipsed by Newt Gingrich, who in 1994 led the House GOP to their first majority in 40 years.
Joe Biden well deserves to be excoriated as “the worst president is US history,” especially as he continues in his last White House days to solidify that infamy. Yet we can be magnanimous and thank him for giving his party no choice but to apologize for all the lunatic damage it has done to America – thus no choice but to become Me-too Democrats who pledge to “go along to get along” with their GOP colleagues.
At first, they will be bitterly and vociferously condemned as DINOs deluged with death threats by Marxist-Fascist wackos. It will take some time for wackos to realize they have no recourse but resentful retreat. And all during that time we can enjoy Trump making America America again.

The Dem party and media cover-up of Joe 10% For The Big Guy as the most corrupt and criminal president in US history is being vividly exposed. On Monday (12/23), America First Legal released photographs, obtained via a FOIA lawsuit from the National Archives:
The founder/president of America First Legal is Stephen Miller, one of the brightest guys in T45’s White House and will be T47’s White House Deputy Chief of Staff. Talk all over Capitol Hill is that T47 AG Pam Bondi will be considering appointing a DOJ Special Prosecutor to investigate Joe’s overt corruption. Hunter will be called to testify under oath, for which, given his pardon, he can’t take the 5th.

None of this Dem devastation, however, will prevent the looniest inmates in the Dem Asylum from taking their TDS to the limit.
Early yesterday morning (12/26), The Hill – which has become the voice of Trump Derangement Syndrome for Dems on Capitol Hill — ran a plea by two demented Dem lawyers: Congress Has The Power To Block Trump From Taking Office, But Lawmakers Must Act Now.
You won’t believe how clinically crazy this is. They are arguing for an insurrection against Trump because he is accused of fomenting the Jan6 “insurrection” forbidden by the 14th Amendment. Read it, there it is in black-and-white. But it’s not too crazy for Congressidiot Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee.
Watch as Raskin calls for “civil war conditions” to prevent Trump from being president next month:
🚨 The Hill is calling on Congress to use the 14th Amendment to block Trump from taking office.
Earlier this year, Rep. Jamie Raskin urged Congress to block Trump using Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, warning of possible “civil war conditions” if this course was pursued.… pic.twitter.com/5iTdAISh7v

Note that Section 3 of the 14th applies to any office holder of the United States, including Members of Congress. It is Raskin, obviously, who should be imprisoned for insurrection against his country.
Note also: One of the authors of The Hill hit piece, David Schulte has known Obama since Yale Law School, is a Chicago investment banker, and owns the Martha’s Vinyard estate the Obamas vacation in. This crazed attempt to block Trump from the presidency has Obama’s fingerprints all over it.

OK, what about the rest of the world?
In addition to shooting down civilian passenger jets causing dozens of deaths – Russian Air Defense Shoots Down Azerbaijan Airlines Plane In Deadly Crash – and lies about it like shooting down MH17 in 2014 killing 298, Putin’s Russia is again trying to reconquer sovereign Georgia.
After seizing parts of Georgia in 2008 – Abkhazia and South Ossetia – with armed force like he’s trying to do in Ukraine, Putin has rigged Georgian elections to put in his stooge. Georgians can’t wait for Trump’s response.
Meanwhile regarding Ukraine: Russia Tells Trump: You Must Move First to Improve Ties. Smart negotiating tactic – tell Trump what he must do, that always works with him, right? Gotta love it, Putin’s clown foreign minister Lavrov couldn’t say anything more designed to laugh and shrug him and his boss off.
From the London Financial Times:
“During his White House campaign, Trump vowed to cut off aid to Ukraine, force Kyiv into immediate peace talks, and leave Nato allies undefended if they failed to spend enough on defence — spooking European capitals. But in a boost for allies deeply concerned over their ability to support and protect Ukraine without Washington’s backing, Trump now intends to maintain US military supplies to Kyiv after his inauguration.”

The biggest problem Trump and NATO have is not Putin who won’t last out 2025, but fellow NATO member state Turkey run by an outright Islamofascist dictator Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He sponsored ISIS in Syria which T47 is very proud of defeating as T45 by his supplying aid and weaponry to the Syrian Kurds.
Now Erdogan is sponsoring the successors of ISIS to defeat Assad in Syria and promising to genocide millions of Syrian Kurds. He doesn’t stop there. On Sunday (12/22), he declared he wants to wipe out Israel: Erdogan Repeats Old Claim that Turks and Muslims Own Jerusalem.
Obviously, the solution starts with suspending Turkey’s membership in NATO until the Erdogan dictatorship is replaced with a real democracy. Over to you, Donald.

Lots more to talk about, like the Panama Canal and Greenland, when we kick off 2025 in next Friday’s HFR. For now, let’s enjoy that we will soon have a President and First Lady to be proud of. And enjoy this trio of headlines from today’s (12/27) Daily Mail.

On Christmas Eve (12/24), Elon Musk posted this on X simply commenting, “Very wise words.” It’s a clip of Ronald Reagan with Johnny Carson in 1975. Wisdom and humor from a beloved American.
