Try thinking about how much better it could be if district judges just stayed in their lane.
I wouldn’t want to be the nincompoop who leaked the “intelligence report” about how ineffective the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities were. That person has biggly problems in his/her/its future.
Find that leaker and apply the full measure of the law for a treasonous enemy within our government. Obtain their messaging and communications links related to the leak - including any legacy media that was aware the leak was classified information - and prosecute everyone that was knowledgeable and complicit. Make the trial public.
They look bad and the Trumpster looks and acts Presidential. He might be giving them enough rope to hang themselves. He's pretty good at strategy and winning.
Use the NSA powered snoop system hooked to the phone of that traitorous fake news babe on CNN…anyone she spoke to, texted or who was in her cellphone’s orbit that had access to that satellite photo is snatched up quicker than you can say Eliot Ness. The visions of bare lightbulbs dangling from the ceiling of a dank room peopled with the likes of Dan Bongino and Kash dances like sugarplums in my head. And put the CNN bitch in handcuffs, too.
"It is too early to declare victory for Trumponomics, but America seems to be rid of the covid era and is back in business."
Everything is going in the right direction - Halleluiah. Now, can we get our Congress to stop spending like drunken sailors and return to 2019 pre-COVID levels? All the DOGE and wasteful spending we cheered is still in the budget until the BBB is passed intact.
Drunken sailors refers to my dad’s generation and earlier. Since Covid & Rush’s awareness of the baseline budget effects…Congress(wo)men spend like out-of-their-mind Crackheads this generation. The effects of living with modern chemistry. A $2 Trillion annual deficit - everlasting SHAME on the eternally-reelected Morons and their disgraceful families for what they have done in Congress.
They just don’t like being hurt in their personal pocketbooks. I can’t tell who is screaming most - the pols, the local school boards, education “consultancies,” Pharma and their advertising minions, or the government unions. The school establishment especially wants to keep on keeping on the “free” Covid money. That they actually spend on weird sex stuff. It’s nauseating.
Their collective 'screaming' from every committee and hidden corner of their dark alleyways is music to my ears - as good as a church choir - because it means we are hitting them in what sustains their corrupt existence. Let's set a goal of raising the pitch of their screams each of Trump's four (or eight) years.
Interestingly, the $6K figure that Don cites above was, iirc, the increase in real incomes for lower middle class and middle class families in Trump's first term. Symmetry?
Seems of note that Trump is using tariff negotiations to attempt to get Spain in line with Nato spending too.
The Art of the Deal applied broadly. We are the beneficiaries, as is the world.
What the liberal, stupid, ignorant a**holes don't understand is that the world as we know it has changed dramatically in the last several years, and unless you are on top of the game, you are the house 'sucker'. Yes, it's important to be a military giant; but the world runs on MONEY - currency, jack, gold, crypto, platinum, dollars, pounds, yen, "money for nothing and your chicks for free". Wake the '***k up people. War is BAD on just about every level! Understanding how money works and how to control your interests regarding it, your business interests, and your country's interest, is CRITICAL to the success of each and all. Finally, and it's hard to keep from shouting - WE have a businessman in charge, a billionaire, a "You're hired" and "You're fired" kind of guy, a "Lead, follow, or get out the way" guy. All the wimps want to point out his faults, flaws, and shortcomings. How about this - He's a billionaire, and he's making a difference in the WORLD. Do we, the workaday, hopeful, flag waving majority of the people in this big, beautiful country understand all that is going on? NO. I missed my last CIA, military, and world economic meeting - I overslept, and so did you. But guess what - a lot got done without our input. Someone on OUR team is calling plays that make us better. And the head of every successful business knows more about the overall business direction than the people who work there; and head of the most powerful country in the world knows more about where we correctly should be headed than anyone else out there.
“Abortion advocates tell us they want government out of our bedrooms. How about we kick it out of our bathrooms first? Let toilets flush all the water you want, and increase shower power too. Why is it the government’s business to save water or for that matter, save energy?
Less regulators, less regulations. Why are we hobbling industry by imposing ridiculous rules that even the communists in Red China won’t do? Stop publishing the Federal Register for a year and watch the economy grow.’
‘Economic freedom is freedom. Anything less is slavery.”
We should all ask ourselves, "Why does the government spend so darn much?" The asnwer is multifactorial, but the biggest reason is that "we, the people" demand it. Now, before you all get angry at me and deny this, let me excuse those who would be willing to sacrifice some or all of a government benefit that they currently enjoy. Hello? Anyone there? Bueller? Of course, a responsible citizenry would vote responsibly and the people elected would do likewise. There are quite a few states whose governments are, relatively speaking at least, fiscally responsible, but the biggest and most irresponsible government, i.e., the Federal one with headquarters in Washington, DC will effectively cancel out any savings the several states might achieve. Remember, it is only the Federal government which has the power to deficit spend, so their profligacy is never checked by the need to raise taxes to match spending. That is why are are currently at THIRTY-SEVEN TRILLION DOLARS in the hole, and getting worse every day. Democrats love this, because they love tyranny--as long as it is they who are empowered to tyrannize. The democrat party has become the enemy of "we, the people," because they decided to become socialists, if not outright communists, whose goal is to destroy what remains of traditional America. Although I doubt the possibility, should anyone out there in Surberland still support or vote for any democrat, whether on the local, state or national level, you have become America's enemy. You should be treated as such. Limbaugh was right; there is no possibility of peaceful co-existence; your defeat is a necessity.
And the income tax is their perpetual gravy train.
I truly feel Trump’s long view - or dream - with the Tariff implementation is to ultimately end the federal income tax once and for all, forcing Congress to live within its own means as originally intended by the Founders.
“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”
Exactly what government benefits do I enjoy? Medicare? It’s more expensive than our non-Medicare policy and much worse insurance. The private roads in my neighborhood are in much better shape than the public ones to get there. I can’t think of another example of anything the government actually does for me. So count me out.
"a democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury".
Deficit spending is endemic in blue states. The feds pick up most of the slack or the cost of consequences. The message to New York and others should be to spend whatever the socialists want but you're on your own. When the bills come due and you're out of OPM don't come to us for help.
Way overdue-'Trump Sues All 15 Federal Judges in Maryland Over Their Unlawful Practice of Issuing “Automatic Injunctions” to Stop Deportations of Criminal Aliens'👍🤣
Well ,I don't know if this was tariff caused or not but my Folgers went $13+ to $19+ in a little over a month. Congress needs to get cranial rectum extractions and do the job they sought. Work FOR the AMERICAN VOTERS they promised solutions. Tax cuts ALWAYS increase revenue to the government but then the hogs feel more spending is needed.PDJT is trying to wean old hogs .
That’s what irks me most about how the “economics” work downstream.
Inflation may recede, but prices never seem to follow. I haven’t seen prices come down for most things from the exorbitant highs they surged to during the last four years. In addition, many products no longer even go on sale as they would from time to time during that same period.
A candy bar once sold for 15 cents is still rising no matter what overall economic figures change.
Wages always have to go up because nothing else ever seems to go down.
Manufacturers seem to just turn that inflated price into their new baseline price, pocketing the extra profit they benefit from due to their now lowered costs to produce them, instead of passing it onto the consumer.
Whenever It costs less to build a house, or produce coffee, due to more favorable economic and energy conditions, the price for the product never really does come down.
If inflation goes down, why don’t prices?
Why does that never change? It’s a glitch in the system if you ask me.
I was pleased to note that gas prices declined 6 cents today—noticed that they went from $2.54 to $2.48 during the time that I went to the orthopedic doctor this morning. Right here in Tyler, Tx at the Walmart Neighborhood Market. They were at $2.59 one week ago. So down 11cents in one week! I only fill up every 6 weeks or so but most people will notice the decline!
Gas prices operate on an entirely different system, primarily the price of global crude oil, other than regular consumables, like groceries etc. But everything manufactured is affected by the price of energy, which, when lower, affects the bottom line for manufacturers as much as every day consumers.
We just never get to see that benefit manufacturers receive reflected in a lowering of prices for their goods. They just remain at their high point high energy prices forced them into. They always only go up. Never really come down.
"Predictions from economists are worse than TV weathermen. "
Reminds me of a cartoon I saw many years ago. An economist is in the bow of a small boat. He's looking ahead and comments it is clear sailing, but inches from the bow is a huge rock.
"If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years there'd be a shortage of sand.”
We’re seeing right now what happens when you put a businessman in charge of government who governs with common business sense. It’s the exact opposite of what we had for the past four years. All the last guy did was run us out of sand. Trump’s got sand, and grit, and isn’t afraid to use both.
Rolled into my fav Chevron/ regular had jumped to $4.09 so I asked how could this be when crude dropped two days in a row. He said my thoughts[ its bullshit ] .
While the price of gas may have dropped, it'll be going up in Illinois on July 1st due to the Democrap legislators and our fleshy governor, J.B. "Prickster", rising the gasoline tax. Most of the tax will go to the Chicago schools, controlled by the Chicago Teachers' Union.
Thanks Don for posting Monday’s column today. We needed a break from nyc’s horrendous demon rat primary result. Make New York Great Again, starting with Re-electing Eric Adams as Mayor
There is a third choice, and Curtis Sliwa could turn out to be the Jesse Ventura of mayoral politics. Unlikely, for sure, but much crow was eaten in the days after Ventura's upset as literally no one believed he could win. Adams is incompetent, or ineffective at best, and Mamdani is certifiably nuts and dangerous. Voters may decide they have little to lose by taking a chance on Red Beret Man.
With six million or so voters it's likely a significant number remember, and voted for Rudi Giuliani. His recent problems notwithstanding, most New Yorkers probably view his tenure as the good old days.
I understand your rationale, I would love to see that many leftists hit rock bottom. My fear is what we see nationally with what the Dems (and RINOs and Old-line GOP) have done to America. That is, provide so many 'giveaways' the voters and leftist population are captured in the grift and won't/can't give it up.
This islamic America-hater candidate in NYC wants a caliphate and is in the biggest city in the USA to pull it off. If he gets his snare of 'free stuff' implemented who will ever be able to take them back?
He needs to go - along with Ilhan Omar. Their view of life is dangerous and incompatible with our way of life, including our Constitution.
Yes, they need to go but the voters determine these things in our system--Until the "voters" hit rock bottom things don't change. The fact that the Dems and RINOs can't understand what happened with the election, rivals the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei take on the recent attacks on Iran.
I'm afraid that, if the NYC voters hit rock bottom, NYC will STAY at the bottom. Remember, Detroit was an industrial powerhouse with a nice downtown until the riots in the late '60's brought it to rock bottom and it's still to the rock bottom to the present.
I am a New Yorker as is our president. And I lived in New York during its dark ages and in my own small way helped bring on Rudy Giuliani and a pretty good turnaround. What goes down frequently goes up again and maybe that can be true for our fair city and maybe it’s up to us.
Not wishing it but believing it more every day , I expect the largeest blue cities will have to be turned over to a executor ( Federal of course ) in order to repair said communities . Local bureaucracy will not allow it . Will be painful but necessary .
I think the biggest gain we have in Trumps Admin is Trump himself. Without his confidence and the air of strength that follows him none of the stark changes would be possible. God Bless that man…
The ridiculous "experts/economists" are almost always wrong in their predictions. The word "unexpectedly" has become a standard adjective in most reports about economic results. Jobs were unexpectedly higher, inflation was unexpectedly lower, etc. My theory is that most of these learned fools are using a static model much like the erroneous climate models (e.g. Michael Mann's famous hockey stick) and never understand the true dynamics of the economy that affect the results. At the same time, a canny businessman named Trump seems to have his finger on what actually drives economic growth. Funny thing about how the real world is something that the Phd ivory tower folks never seem to grasp.
So far, very very good.
Try thinking about how much better it could be if district judges just stayed in their lane.

And then do the same to everyone who had any connection at all to the guy/gal.
Might be a Congressman or Senator involved. Never a dull day.
Perhaps. Either party, they hurt our MAGA President and should be removed from serving, possibly prosecuted.
More important is, they hurt our COUNTRY.
I am trying to imagine what Roast Leg of Liberal might taste like, Bitter, most likely.
Well, their Dem mascot is a donkey so I would expect it to taste like roast donkey leg, or Leg of Ass.
Bet there wasn't a leaker. The media likes to say that while making shit up. It's easy to dupe a nation of idiots.
Amen and Plays finished my thoughts before I could.
Or you could look at it as look how well he's doing inspite of the judges, AND media
They look bad and the Trumpster looks and acts Presidential. He might be giving them enough rope to hang themselves. He's pretty good at strategy and winning.

Drunken sailors everywhere are offended by your comparison to Congress. We had a drinking budget, and stuck to it.
And, you were spending your OWN money doing it. Not so for Congress, although they think it's their money

Except the actually cutting screamed over hasn’t actually happened. So I’ll be on pepto until something actually is thrown out.

Loved seeing Trump humiliate Spain at the NATO summit - called them out to their face in front of the world.
If they don't want to pay their fair share then the committee has an obligation to remove them. They can defend themselves by themselves.
Congress can't cut spending. Too many "constituencies" to pay off. They'll never do it.

Thanks Don for posting Monday’s column today. We needed a break from nyc’s horrendous demon rat primary result. Make New York Great Again, starting with Re-electing Eric Adams as Mayor
Did you ever think you would be urging people to vote for a DEI incompetent because he is the lesser of two bad choices?
I've been voting for the lesser of two evils nearly all my life. The 2016, 2020, and 2024 Presidnetial Elections being the only exceptions.
There is a third choice, and Curtis Sliwa could turn out to be the Jesse Ventura of mayoral politics.

Someone commented yesterday on X, “who wants to wager Trump runs for Mayor of NYC after his term as President expires?” Hah!!
That would be a hoot!
Time to build that wall around NYC, a la “Escape From New York.”
