I was considering Dept of FAFO until I saw Can of Whoopass!🤣 too good Don. And of course Queen Latifah. Cleaning up DC is yet another 80/20 issue that Dems look like the idiot fools they are for choosing the 20 side——crime and filth.

Whoopass is a Sylvester Stallone/Bruce Willis version, whereas, FAFO is the George Washington crossing the Delaware on Christmas day version.

Both work really well.

Oh I agree. Trump does have a moral compass of some sort. My comment was more based on despite all the years the GOP has supported Israel, it hasn't translated into Jewish support for the party. It will be interesting to see if the clean up shift DC from a 96% D city.

Leftism is a mental illness that many Jews are not immune to; which mystifies Jews on the right.

I would hope that the GOP’s support of Israel is grounded in history and morality, and not as a political calculation.

The saying that where you have two Jews you have 3 opinions still holds true, both in America and Israel. (That’s a Jewish maxim, btw)

A military can of whoopass is a plane full of Marines on their way to demonstrate why American foreign policy includes less of certain categories of world leaders. It cannot be used in broad terms because we have the air force, space force, and some elements in the Army and Navy that couldn't whip cream let alone whoop ass.

"The nation’s capital is, after all, a tourist town. Why should they have to step aside junkies in pup tents?"

While there is some good shifting in the "national conversation" in response to Trump's bold moves executed at the speed of light, he is still the LONE RANGER. He needs help.

The Republican party could join this bold stand and win the war against communist takeover but they are silent. They are invisible.

The things Trump is taking on are no-brainers and are undoing the iterative deterioration of our society by the communist left. Trump is taking on the deep state government and now the deep state against our safety in society.

I've always been a do-it-yourselfer (DIY) and have taken on some really big refurbishing and building projects - beyond what I knew how to do. It took a lot of studying, learning some new skills to prepare for the work, and then a TON of work to do it. When those projects were cleaned up, polished up, and ready to use, there were few rewards as satisfying as stepping back and appreciating the accomplishment. It made me respect the greater works I would never have the possibility of duplicating. Trump has done greater projects like this his whole life and he is doing it to America on so many fronts.

Working almost alone, Trump is the DIYer for our nation in preparation for our 250th anniversary, the Olympics, and FIFA.

He needs help if we want this change to remain forever. Those five Texas House seats are essential but we need a super majority in both houses and a Congress executing a Trump vision so all of America can look and feel like Wards 7 & 8 in Washington, DC.

I agree.

I’m encouraged by what I see from JD.

And it’s possible other Republicans are doing more than we hear about, but the media is silencing it to kill any momentum.

Kelly Ann often said in DJT 1.0 that the greatest power of the media is the power to ignore.

Expand full comment
Shrugged's avatar

Yes, JD is the heir apparent - and a good one at that!

Whatever is being done behind the scenes isn't enough though. We need to see a full Choir signing their parts in many harmonies simultaneously to achieve what Trump is doing alone.

We need an army of vocal supporters so Trump isn't always looking like the single-voiced dictator the left accuses him of being.

Many hands (voices) make light work.

Messaging is CRITICAL!! And Republicans have always sucked at it, particularly Congress critters - until Trump’s campaign. He had some truly great people running that show. (The garbage truck! Working at McD’s!)

That’s what we need to replicate for the midterms.

But if you go on X all the cabinet heads and Trump administrators are constantly posting their wins and efforts to restore sanity. It’s a start but we have to overcome the legacy media’s megaphone and control the narrative LOUDLY!!

Department of War is something I’ve thought for years, so when Secretary Pete (ours, not theirs) said it I thought he was definitely the guy for the job. As for DC, I’m curious how long the changes will last after President Trump’s 30 days are up. I’d be pleasantly shocked if CONgress votes to terminate home rule, but I can dream - not that I’d waste much time dwelling on the fate of the District of Criminals. Want to permanently eliminate crime there? Send all the CONgress critters home, return to The Founder’s intent and make CONgress part-time again, implement term limits and slash their pay drastically. Oh, and bring back tar and feathers. As for the second poll question? Sorry, I don’t want to see a female president, let alone a black one. Think of me what you will. Whoever passes this milestones will have to earn the position, and not because of how they’re plumbed or painted.

Agreed. I skipped the second poll. My only run in with Condie was an actual run into one another; years ago at the Rose Bowl for a college game; exiting out of the stadium after the game; me going straight ahead; her approaching from my right side and she flat collided with me. I stayed upright and said immediately, "Hi, Condie... nice to meet you"... she said "Sorry, nice to meet you" and she smiled and went on her way; me too. Classic.

When I worked as a Village Administrator for a small town of 4,300 we did at least one street renovation project every year. It would consist of new pavement, curbs and gutters, new storm, water, and sanitary sewer mains, and in some cases buried electric, phone, and cable. What I noticed over 20 years was once the projects were finished, property owners who had previously had sloppy yards and peeling paint began to take pride in their properties, painting the older homes, keeping the yards trim and tidy, and generally keeping things looking good, even in the older lower income neighborhoods.

For most folks if your neighbor has a neat yard and well maintained property, you want to do the same.
