"Biden" does this. "Biden" does that. For the love of Pete, people, stop saying, writing or believing that Biden is doing, has done or plans to do ANYTHING! "He" is not home; his train has left the station; his deck contains less than fifty-two cards, etc., etc., etc. He hasn't been "president" for at least the past three years, and prior to that, all he did was take orders from the Obama cabal who remained in the actual seat of power despite Obama's personal absence. Have you not read the WSJ article? Have you not seen or heard the "insider stories" that portray Biden as a mere shell, whose only accomplishments were mouthing words he was told to say and signing bills and executive orders that were shoved under his doddering, dementia-riddled nose? As the Pythons once comically told us, "He is an ex-parrot!"

Dec. 25th is my Christmas but Jan. 20th will be a celebration like I imagine VJ Day was in 1945. Victory over Democrats and Rinos. Or at least a major step forward in the battle.

Most people don't know when "VJ Day" is celebrated. It is August 14th; my birthday. Dad came home from WWII from his ship that he commanded (an LST) which was in Tokyo Bay. He arrived home on November 14th and I was born the next August 14th. Do the math.

Item 3: that MA Democrat’s statement says absolutely all you need to know about our so-called Representatives in Congress. They can’t stand us. We are nothing more than annoying pests to them.

Meanwhile, They’re clamoring on about Elon being a pretend President when they’ve had one for four years!!

All Elon did was open the floodgates for the voices of the people to be heard loud, strong and resoundingly clear.

THAT is what they hate.

Well, it’s a whole new ballgame now. Get with it, or get out.

Indeed. The Swamp needs to be reminded on an hourly basis that the doing of business as usual is unacceptable.

I really dont think they care. Talking about it and doing are far apart. The only thing that will change that culture is action.

As far as the poll goes: Christmas isn't about receiving gifts, it's about celebrating Jesus: God's gift to us. Jesus is who I put my faith in, not Trump or anyone else. And you should be careful not to fall into Satan's trap of hating the leftists so much that you make a false idol out of Trump, politics, vengeance, or any of the other snares of the world. As CS Lewis said:

He (the devil) always sends errors into the world in pairs – pairs of opposites... He relies on your extra dislike of one to draw you gradually into the opposite one. But do not let us be fooled. We have to keep our eyes on the goal and go straight through between both errors. We have no other concern than that with either of them.

Good advice

Expand full comment

I was thinking the same thing this morning. A pendulum always goes fastest as is crosses the center, and we must guard against becoming exactly like those we claim to oppose. Given how this "administration" has resorted to show-trials, starchamber committees (The Unselect Committee, starring Liz Cheney), and the secret police (FBI and all the other 3-letter agencies), my first instinct would be revenge, but we can't do that. Retribution - a very different thing - and justice? Yes. And all necessary - but not revenge.

Having closely followed Trump's tribulations and eventual triumph, especially that ear-shot, has shaken the very foundation of my lifelong atheism. If there is a God, I wish He would stop f-ing around and letting The Greatest Country That Ever Was get to the very brink before intervening. My heart can't take much more of it.

Expand full comment

Donald Trump has stated that his revenge will be a successful Presidency. That is paraphrased but it is the essence of what he said.

That said, draining the swamp may be seen as vengeful but is is necessary.

If we had started decades ago the fixes would have been easy. Now they may be insurmountable. The only people who can fix this are in government because we put them there. Time to demand they get busy regardless of whether or not it hurts their re-election plans. Some things are worth the sacrifice.

As to the Continuing Resolution, there was a clip of Jesse Waters interviewing Senator Mike Lee., who said there were 4 people behind the plan to pass the original draft of the CR--Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, Hakeem Jeffries, and Mike Johnson. Mike Lee kept referring to those 4 as the "the Firm", the deciding (and colluding) players.

But the only person we on the MAGA side seem to be angry at is Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson is probably the most innocent of this poisonous foursome. First--why is Mitch McConnell still so involved? I see that John Thune doesn't take office as Republican Leader until January, but good grief, there McConnell still is right now calling the shots on the CR. Is Thune going to be 'his own man', or just a puppet for McConnell?

It also bothers me that we are so heavily focused on going after the RINO's, and yet we are doing NOTHING against Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. I haven't heard a single report of any fire being launched directly at Schumer and Jeffries. Where is the outcry against these Democratic leaders? We seem to have just accepted that they are snakes and we leave them alone to do their damage.

Yes, of course we have to go after the RINO's, but it is way past time to also start a strong, strategic, and relentless public PR offensive against these poisonous Democratic leaders, and their second and third tier Congressional partners-in-crime--who get so little attention that I don't even know their names (except for Dick Durbin). They attack us relentlessly. When are we going to start putting the spotlight on Hakeem Jeffries and other specific Democrats, and take the fight to them?!?

Expand full comment

Hakeem is a big threat and someone to watch carefully along with the vicious women compadres in DC. They are scary. VERY scary and determined. Never underestimate a woman with hate as their motivation. Maybe after Jan. 20 we won't have to hear the word "racist" ever again. It has no actual meaning.

Expand full comment

We all need to start by calling people out when they assign a racist title to us. Otherwise they will keep doing it.

It may be "rope-a-dope". Jefferies and Schumer are both from New York. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see very well funded republican running against Jefferies in 2026. He's a clone of the "Magic Negro".

Think any Republican going after Jeffries or Chucky is a waste of time. And yes, there was reservation of Thune being McConnell's butt-boy.

It is not a waste of time because it sways the public. We need to be waking up the half of the country that voted Democratic. Going after their leaders may not change those leader's actions, but it WILL change the public perception of them.

IDK... really don't know how you would get through to anyone who would vote for a Biden or Harris. Obama was good at what he did. He was a charlatan and a chameleon. So I could see how some would get easily fooled. But FJB and Cackles? These two were right there out in the open.

I think Don is right that Trump is a highly skilled strategist, and that we may indeed be seeing it in operation on the CR. And so long as Trump supports Mike Johnson, we should too.

A month or so ago Don made a comment about "John Barron"--whom I looked up on Google, and discovered that Trump has from to time over the years used a pseudonym to get points across in the media! That made me truly believe that Trump is indeed a 3-D Chess player.

The odds are greater than zero that Johnson reported back to the Trumpster everything the firm was planning. If he gave that intel to Trump who gave it to Elon, that would partially explain why exposing what was in the bill was accomplished so fast.

Another factor is that Ramaswamy actually read the bill. Let’s not leave him out of the kudos.

Item 22: they are wrong. It has long been customary in times past, for Appointees from prior administrations to offer a letter of resignation, not according to law, but out of custom and consideration, and leave it to the incoming President whether to accept or reject it.

The Dems had their chance to '25th Amendment' Joe out of office a long time ago, but they chose to cover up his serious mental decline.

Loved the fight over the CR. Dems say they beat Trump. He didn't get the debt ceiling lifted. Trump never cared about the debt ceiling. That was his starting point of making a deal. The Dems starting position was a lipsticked pig. The Trumpster and Elon exposed to the country how awful the bloated pig was. To get a new cleaner (not clean) CR they had to give up most of the pork. 1500 pages of pork to 118 pages. Now who won that fight???

The chances are greater than zero that the Trumpster knew a long time ago this was coming and let it happen because he knew he had the stronger hand. Johnson may have been in on it too. He called in Chip Roy and let him in on the secret. More fun to come.
