Expect plenty of political earthquakes to rock New York State and the United States of America as we begin 2025, a new year with a new President who will gleefully consume an unlimited supply of liberal tears as President Trump returns as Commander in Chief.
Not since Grover Cleveland in the late 1800’s has a United States President served two non-consecutive terms.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were such trainwrecks of a President, Vice President, and candidates for Commander in Chief, so much so that they helped drive a popular vote and Electoral College victory for President Trump.
Buckle up, because 2025 is going to be one of the most earth-shattering, seismic-shaking times in the history of the United States of America.
Here’s what I see happening in Washington D.C. in 2025
PRESIDENT TRUMP PARDONS THOSE CONVICTED OF JANUARY 6TH RELATED “CRIMES”
The events of January 6th were not a threat to democracy, it was not an insurrection, nor was it ever an attempt to overthrow the government. Far from it.
What is not democratic is sending senior citizens, grandmothers, and grandfathers to federal prison for many, many years for simply walking inside the Capitol.
PRESIDENT TRUMP PARDONS PRO-LIFE PROTESTORS
There are also senior citizen Catholics who the Biden Administration charged and sent to federal prison. Their “crime?” Protesting at abortion clinics. This is terribly ironic, since President Biden states he is a practicing Catholic.
One of those serving time: 75-year-old Paulette Harlow who fought for the lives of the unborn at a Washington D.C. abortion clinic.
It is despicable how the corrupt Biden administration weaponized the Justice Department to engage in lawfare to politically persecute their so-called enemies, including President Trump, January 6th participants, and pro-life protesters
VIVEK RAMASWAMY AND ELON MUSK TAKE A CHAINSAW TO THE BLOATED BUREAUCRACY IN D.C.
In full disclosure, I served as Vivek Ramaswamy’s spokesman and Deputy Communications Director for his Presidential campaign. Now with that out of the way, the deep state has no idea what it’s in for. Vivek and Musk and D.O.G.E (Department of Government Efficiency) are going to inflict massive amounts of pain on the bloated bureaucracy in Washington D.C.
On the campaign trail, Vivek worked incredibly hard on a comprehensive plan to slash the federal government by 75%. I’ll save you the suspense: he’s going to follow through and do it.
Vivek’s budget-busting plan which was released in September 2023 involves gutting and reforming multiple “three-letter” agencies across the federal government, including the FBI. It cuts massive amounts of red tape and federal regulations that handcuff businesses and the free market.
Two interesting initiatives Vivek and Musk will implement that will force the hands of federal workers to quit the workforce:
End “work from home” policies and bring federal workers back to the office
Move federal agencies out of Washington and spread them around to major metropolitan cities across the country.
RACE FOR NYS GOVERNOR
Yes, the race for Governor takes place in 2026, but the multitude of candidates running and gunning for Kathy Hochul will more than likely make their intentions known this year, in order to raise money, build a political operation, and be in a position to fire away at the incumbent and her unpopularity.
William Floyd graduate, former Congressman, and soon-to-be EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin lost to Hochul in 2022 by roughly five and a half percentage points.
This was close compared to the 2018 landslide where former Governor Andrew Cuomo defeated soon to be former Congressman Mark Molinaro by more than 23 percentage points.
On the Democratic side of the aisle, it appears Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres is going to challenge Hochul in a primary. Shockingly, Hochul’s biggest challenger could come from within: the New York Times just featured Hochul’s own Lieutenant Governor, Antonio Delgado, as another potential Democratic challenger.
On the GOP side of the aisle, Congressman Mike Lawler would be a formidable opponent against Hochul. Remember, there’s going to be a bruising primary where Hochul is going to have to spend boatloads of campaign cash to keep Democratic opponents at bay.
Congressman Lawler would have a “honeymoon” period where he can raise money 12 hours a day while Democarts are at each other’s throats in a brutal primary. Then Lawler could open the floodgates of fundraising spoils while the winner of the Democratic primary would be damaged goods and broke as a joke,
If there’s ever a chance for a Republican to reside in the Governor’s mansion for the first time since 2006, it can happen in 2026.
