Election 2016- Should the Hammer Fall…

Hillary Final Nail in Coffin

While we have been predicting that businessman and real estate developer Donald J. Trump would be elected the nation’s forty-fifth president of the United States, since the autumn of last year, we must also consider the ramifications should he lose this election to Hillary Clinton.

Certainly, the mainstream media, the political “experts,” the professional pollsters, and politicos of all stripes have been in lockstep unity on what they perceive as the likelihood, if not certainty, of Hillary Clinton’s victory in November, 2016. Despite the fact that, while Hillary Clinton draws hundreds of supporters to her well-orchestrated events, as compared to the thousands of people routinely showing up at Donald Trump’s events, none of the talking heads on television, nor so-called journalists in the country’s major newspapers and magazines, are even suggesting the possibility of a Trump victory…none.

So, let’s assume for a moment that all of these so-called experts are correct, and let’s consider the ramifications of a Hillary Clinton win. What’s next? Well, based upon what we know of Hillary Clinton’s political history, and the statements that she herself, has made during the course of her campaign, we can easily predict the following:

Taxes- Taxes on businesses and corporations (already the highest in the industrialized world) will go up, urging more large corporations and businesses to leave the United States and move their operations overseas, resulting in more and more job losses to the private sector. The same will hold true for estate taxes, which will continue the trend towards the loss of family farms and other small businesses, due to the punitive taxation assessed by the government on the passing of individuals who have already paid taxes on the money they have earned during the course of their lifetimes.

Public Safety- Hillary’s embrace of the Black Lives Matter movement and her well-documented disdain for law enforcement here in the United States, will bring about more attacks on police officers, which have almost doubled in the past year. Given the fact that there are more than 100,000 fewer police officers today, than there were when Barack Obama took office in 2009, the dwindling numbers of law enforcement officers will continue to make our communities less safe- especially in the poorest sections of our cities, where those of color fall victim to ever-increasing violence at an alarming rate.

Radical Islam- Hillary’s intent to continue the policies of the Obama administration, with regards to Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorism and the administration’s fecklessness in dealing with, and its stubborn refusal to correctly identify Radical Islamism for what it is, will result in ever-more terrorist attacks both here at home, and around the world. Her stated desire to increase refugee resettlement from Syria, by a factor of 550%, without properly vetting these refugees, will import to our country the very same problems that have been witnessed in Belgium, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and all over Europe. With her aide Huma Abedin, expected to replace Valerie Jarrett as Senior Advisor to the President, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood will continue to wield a greater degree of influence in Hillary Clinton’s White House than ever before.

Foreign Policy- The pay-for-play corruption that is the essence of the Clinton Foundation will put the foreign policy of the United States up for sale to a degree not even seen during the Obama administration. Essentially, our foreign policy will be determined strictly by the level of financial support that the Clinton Foundation will enjoy, and the Justice Department will abide in this corruption, leaving our foreign policy the end product of such racketeering. Our allies will continue to feel that they have been betrayed by the United States, and our enemies will be emboldened by the ease with which they can escape consequences for their misdeeds by simply writing a check to the Clinton Global Initiative.

Education- With ever-greater federal oversight of classrooms, from pre-kindergarten through post-graduate education, the standards of excellence in education will continue to decline in order to promote “fairness” and ‘inclusiveness,” and the United States will continue to lose ground with regards to competitiveness with the rest of the industrialized world. Union membership will be nationally mandated for all teachers, as it already is in several states which have no right-to-work laws, and public schools will become the exclusive domain of teachers unions across the land. Private and parochial schools, assuming they continue to exist in the face of creeping regulation and ever-more onerous accreditation requirements, will be the only way students are able to acquire a quality education and, in the absence of charter schools, will only be affordable to the very rich, thus creating an effective caste system in education, itself.

Medical Care- With the already-in-progress deterioration of the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), as private insurers continue to drop out of the exchanges providing coverage, the intended consequence of this deterioration will result in a single-payer system of national healthcare, where healthcare is rationed by the dictates of the federal government. As private corporations in the medical and pharmaceutical industries face ever-higher taxes and more stringent regulations, the requisite innovation and technology in which the United States has led the world will cease to exist, and the quality of healthcare in this country will take on the trappings of healthcare as that which exists in the Veterans Administration, only worse.

In short, should the hammer of Hillary’s election should fall upon this nation, and the former first lady and Secretary of State be elected president, it will prove to be the final nail in the coffin built by Barack Obama, and it will be the United States of America which will be thus rendered asunder.

But at least, in the end, we won’t have a president who merely says mean things…
