D.L. Gardner: Will 2026 Repeat 2020?

 So far 2026 has begun to look a lot like 2020. President Trump has thoroughly confused democrats and detractors with his actions here at home as well as around the world. He is wickedly unpredictable! None of his detractors could imagine moves he planned, much less how these moves worked in concert with other moves. It’s hard to believe he’s already served about 17 months this time around. 

 This year President Trump has been leading the country in celebrating our 250th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution and the beginning of our nation. Unlike Biden’s and Obama’s administrations, Trump’s administration has included elements of faith that Democrats and other detractors have dismissed as unconstitutional based on separation of church and state. 

In January 2025, President Trump shut down the border and ordered the Department of Homeland Security to deport the “worst of the worst” immigrants who had entered America illegally. Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) spread like a deadly pathogen through the ranks of Democrats, media, and other detractors. Nevertheless, Trump directed federal law enforcement to work with state and local law enforcement to quell crime and violence that sprung up in urban areas governed by weak-on-crime local administrations supported by weak judges and district attorneys. 

Pockets of rioters have become more active across the nation as the weather has warmed. Immigrants who entered America illegally have been tied to many of these activities. And then, the Southern Poverty Law Center was outed as an organization that paid informers and activists to instigate racial violence. That’s a nice gig if you can get it: instigate the very crimes and lawlessness you’re organized to uncover. 

State and local agencies that receive funding from Washington have managed to spread the wealth to government officials and fraudsters alike … and I mean alike! Minnesota, California, and New York in particular have made government employees and community organizers richer than ever with our tax dollars. Billions of these dollars have found their way across the oceans to partners in fraud. The FBI, CIA and other federal law enforcement agencies are investigating federal agencies as well as members of congress. 

Look for the summer of 2026 to reflect the summer of 2020 with daily riots in our cities. Blue cities and states are more likely to attract young rioters paid by notable woke millionaires and billionaires. 

We’re still dealing with the ever-volatile Middle East. Even though President Trump is barely into his second term trying to clean up all the mess left by Biden at home and in Ukraine, he has automatically become the source of all bad decisions in world politics and wars. Meantime nighttime comics have lost their jobs, or at least their rankings because of low ratings compared with various reruns of just about any other shows. 

Fox comedian Greg Gutfeld continues to dominate the usual woke political commentators who have failed to develop any new ideas. 

On the other hand, Americans should be able to find quality TV and Cable shows celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the greatest nation on earth today. The United States of America has a rich history of growing from 13 British colonies into a dominant nation of more than 330-million citizens. So far, the only competition are news shows about how bad we are.

“ Unlike Biden’s and Obama’s administrations, Trump’s administration has included elements of faith that Democrats and other detractors have dismissed as unconstitutional based on separation of church and state.”

Are you referring to him sharing a photo on his social media page portraying him as Jesus? Or is it the golden calf statue of himself that he erected at his golf club? Could you possibly be talking about his demeanor towards the pope? Or profiting off of his Trump Bibles?

Your continued use of God to justify your support of what this President has been doing is a mockery to Him and is a stumbling block for others. The Bible has a lot to say about those who mock God, as well as “stumbling blocks.” Have the day you deserve.

Trump walks around with a drawing of a ballroom folded up in his pocket. He takes it out and shows it to anybody he meets, talking about how great it’s going to be.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
