The America First Plan

Twenty Republican Points to Make America Great Again
On July 15, the Republican Party Convention, meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, passed and published its 2024 Republican Platform. The Republican Platform of 2024 is not pep rally hubris. It remembers and exalts the history of America’s foundation and the struggle and sacrifices of generations of patriots in overcoming enormous difficulties, striving to become not only a great nation but a shining example of government guided by truth and dedicated to justice. However, it also warns us that forgetting our history and abandoning the truths and values that made us a great nation are severely undermining our future.

A Failing Grade on Truth
Most of the media and political commentary, especially since the June 27 Biden-Trump debate, has focused on President Biden’s mental competence. This is indeed extremely important. Moreover, there is a vast record of previous television and video material over the last several years that raises many serious questions about an apparent decline in Biden’s mental agility. It appears to many that he is suffering from some disease or injury that is causing a significant degeneration of capacities critical to any position in leadership, especially the American presidency.

Many EU and NATO Leaders Horrified that Putin Consulted
On July 5, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban traveled to Moscow and spoke with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin on possible solutions to ending the Ukraine conflict. Two and a half years of war have devastated the Ukrainian economy, resulted in over 7.0 million refugees, and resulted in the combat deaths of more than 600,000 Ukrainian soldiers and as many as 50,000 Russian Federation soldiers. The Ukrainian Army is currently suffering 1,500 to 2,000 casualties—killed and seriously wounded—per day! Initially outnumbering Russian forces more than two to one, Ukrainian combat forces are outnumbered more than four to one, and the Russian advantage is growing. The Ukrainians are running out of men, munitions, and equipment.

Huge Ukrainian Losses Changing Outlook

On June 15-16, Switzerland hosted a global Peace Summit for Ukraine. Russia was not invited and because of that many countries declined to attend. The absent list included China, India, and many other great powers. Volodymyr Zelensky’s strategy was evidently to get the world to condemn Russia and force a peace plan on Russia. Nevertheless, 86 of 193 United Nations member nations and four international organizations sent representatives. Seventy-eight nations and the four international organizations signed the final communication. Nine more states indicated their approval of the communication after the event. Those rejecting the invitation were particularly numerous in the “Global South,” where US influence in waning and public opinion is no longer favorable to the US and NATO narrative about the Ukraine War. Zelensky’s 10 point peace plan was more propaganda than a reasonable framework for negotiated peace. Zelensky undoubtedly also raised much needed additional funds to operate the Ukrainian government and relieve military weapons and munitions shortages.

Plans for “Decolonization” of the Russian Federation

The major and scandalously dishonest propaganda theme of the lawless Biden regime and its Deepstate, NATO, and Western establishment-media allies has been that the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, was “unprovoked” aggression. The truth is that at least since April 2019, but probably before, the US and its closest NATO allies had been provoking the Russians to take military action in Ukraine. This is easily documented by US planning records and 2022 Ukrainian artillery attacks against civilians in the Russian-speaking states of Donetsk and Lugansk in southeastern Ukraine.
