It will be same old s**t show. Dems will be lock-step united and there will be those couple of RINO's holding on for dear life to the to good old days before MAGA... and Chuckie Schumer will end up with the big smile -- same as he always does. Don't think the SWAMP is going to cede power this easily. And BTW, compromise to DC is increasing the national debt by $3.1 trillion instead of $3.5 trillion.
I understand your pessimism, however, I am optimistic that many positive steps will be accomplished only for the reason that we, as a country, have no other choice. Sure, the Dems will fight against anything that the Trump administration will push for, but again, those same Dems lost a lot of ground in November and the voters will be watching and taking notes.
Politics is a dirty game. The alphabet agencies have a lot of dirt on everyone. If a politician won't go along, Trumps team will drop a dime on them. Epstein island list anyone?
Schlichter has a good article in Townhall this morning regarding the great need for Kash Patel's management and cleaning out of the current losers in the FBI
Yes, thats how they think. Save a few billion dollars that isn’t borrowed, not a few billion that is cut from programs that have no sunset dates. They “save” nothing.
When I tallied and reported cost savings in manufacturing operations it only counted as a cost reduction if you stopped writing a check in response to the change. Otherwise, it was a cost avoidance and didn't count. It was still a good idea, but it didn't hit the cost reduction metric and nobody got a gold star from the boss.
My biggest fights were with managers who padded their annual budgets with money they never really planned to spend just so they could give it back as a "cost reduction" - so they could get their bonus credit for it. When I said 'no deal, it is a cost avoidance instead of a cost reduction' it got pretty nasty.
Ya'll need to suck it up , the sun ain't even up on this day's work . Life isn't easy when times are good . This journey is just starting. Having expectations for lefties and D-rats is not rewarding .😁
Of all the thousands of Deep State Swamp creatures, Bill Barr might be the most disappointing. The only explanation for the extent of his back-stabbing has to involve a closet overflowing with skeletons.
…Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III…outstanding Senate coward that ceded the field from fear before the battle had even begun, and allowed his commander to be harassed for his entire term of office and 4 more years after that….
The charge against DJT’s first term as chaotic was just another calumny promulgated by the propaganda arm of the Marxist/Democrat/Hate America Party, otherwise known as the MSM. Whenever DJT fired someone for their incompetence, the MSM called it chaos. The real chaos in addition to Don’s list is the FJB administration who’s only firing was the guy in charge of nuclear waste. You remember him, he’s the “guy” with a beard who wore dresses and stole woman’s luggage from the airport luggage returns.
He never was jailed. I am not sure his crimes made it to trial. I think he plea dealed but I need to look. The net kills that story when ever it is written so someone is paying to have it killed.
I for one am very glad Trump called the recalcitrant Congresscritters. I want to know he will be very involved with the first branch of government. I don't think was sufficiently involved in his first administration, and if the Congress in not on board with the President's policies, nothing much gets done. I hope he continues to call them all regularly, and to meet with the Republican Caucus on Capitol Hill from time to time. It's a good stroke of their ego to go to their office once in a while and let them know he wants them on board with his policy priorities.
Trump has overcome that steep learning curve he faced during the first term. He's ready & raring to go this time around and is assembling a good team - now to get them all approved - that's another bunch of phone calls!
Another “plus” heading into Trump’s 2nd term, is that a far greater majority of the population has been awakened, vocal, and activated like never before.
The DC blob and the media will attempt every conceivable type of attack and resistance, but, by the grace of God, if the people will stand unified in their support for restoring the Rule of Law and their President’s efforts, we might have a chance, a last chance, to save this country.
Don, I totally agree on the Stones song that epitomizes the task ahead. The Dems and the legacy media want "Paint it Black" as in "I see a red door and I wanted painted black." The next year will either be a watershed moment for America or a lost opportunity. I hope that on Jan 6th of 2026 we can look back and say that we are proud of what our Federal government has accomplished.
Ah, yes, the New York Times, Politico, CNN. All dependable sources of deracinated, deranged anti-Trump "news". You forgot to include The Hill, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and pretty much the rest of the corporate media in today's post. Of course, I understand that even The Great and Powerful Surber can stomach only so much of this dog vomit, so we're grateful for even the smallest effort in order to keep informed as to the latest in enemy troop movements. Happy Monday, and to all your Orthodox readers, Merry Christmas!
As the Trump administration “hits the beaches” this month in DC, where the enemy is formidable, dug in and fully arrayed against him, the battles are going to be many and fierce.
That city that must be conquered is riddled with evil and corruption throughout, and it is essential that many if not most of those responsible are brought to Justice, sending a clear and unequivocal message to all that such corruption will no longer be tolerated and will be punished to the full extent of the law.
Crimes, real and egregious crimes have been committed by those in positions of power, even treason. It will be one thing to reverse their policies and acts which have wrought so much destruction upon this country, but it’s of even greater import that these criminals also face the consequences for their disloyalty to this country, its Constitution and its people, so that it can never happen again.
Anyone who believes Mike Johnson is going to suddenly be a tough guy and make his caucus tow the line is crazy. Not going to happen and as this becomes apparent to his membership they will once again blow-it. Too many “Mike Johnsons” in the GOP.
johnson owes a few people as a given but i happen to have an in which means someone who knows the speaker very well. mj is a maga guy and will not disappoint those who understand the process. if you're looking for a revolutione' perhaps you may find everything is going to come up short but progress is going to be made.
I hope you're right, sir. At the very least, Johnson now knows the wind is blowing in Trump's direction, AND maybe he feels safe from 3-letter agency threats on himself and his family.
here's how to play the next 14 days. read a 1000 page book. any book. the book of your choice. check surber, american thinker, truthsocial and watch old b/w movies.
everybody' s useful. i remember when i was a fledgling co-manager in my mid-twenties. i got transferred and my new manager asked me how i liked working for my last manager. i was hesitant to discuss it and he knew why. so he just looks me in eye and says: "you're always learning, no matter who is doing the teaching".
I've had such experiences, also in my twenties. And there was some recent research that concluded guys are mentally not fully grown until about age 25/26. Made sense to me, although to be honest for me the age might be higher.
It's unlikely I could get up if I knelt to pray, since today marks my 83rd year without a Bentley. That said, IIRC, Rush had mentioned a hope that Obama would fail, and I don't remember it being a racist remark. I am praying for Trump and his cabinet at nite-nite and morning supplication. Lying about my age since I was 4, today is the oldest I have ever been. And I am happy to see the day and the promises of better days. I now recall the term "rich as Croesus" and wonder which state elected him Senator-for-Life? Anybody have a copy of Plutarch's Lives, or as we called it, the class of 1960.
Americans are tired of CHAOS. They hired Trump for normalcy. He's managed to unite Republicans on Mike Johnson. Keeping them united for Americans for the next two years will be critical, as the Dems are anything but pro-American. Let's see who votes against Certification today.
Prayers that our cute cockroaches show up in DC ‘in the midst of the “most polarity vortexy snowfall from man-made global warming/climate-change-need-more-carbon-taxes-to-solve” with a quorum to approve PDJT47’s Electoral Votes today…
“Affirmative Action,” a/k/a “D.E.I.” ≈ Racial or sexual discrimination in hiring incompetents.
"Chaos" ≈ unaccustomed decisiveness.
“Climate Change” ≈ ‘Global Warming’ that died of a bad cold.
“Communist” ≈ A word never to be applied to the Left because it fits.
“Controversial” ≈ Something hated by the Left and its media allies.
“Convicted Felon” ≈ A disturbingly successful politician convicted of a made-up crime by a crooked New York court.
“Experts disagree — off the record — anonymous sources —unconfirmed reports” ≈ Made-up stuff we want you to believe
“Far Right”, a/k/a “Fascist”, a/k/a “Racist”, a/k/a “Nazi”, a/k/a “Hitler” ≈ Any vocal opponent of insane leftist ideas.
“Gender-Affirming Care” ≈ Drugging and butchering brainwashed Public School children into eunuchs and infertile women.
“Honor Diversity” ≈ Worshipping weird shit, the weirder the better.
“Insurrection” ≈ An unarmed protest egged on by the FBI and criminalized by politicians who ignored nationwide Antifa riots and arson.
“Multicultural” ≈ America bad, Rest-of-the-World good.
“Pro-Choice” ≈ Protect only the woman, not her baby. (See “Women’s Health Care”)
“Progressive” ≈ Regressing to ever-crazier political ideas, like mandating invented pronouns.
“Social Transitioning” ≈ Initiating Public School children, without parental consent, into the transgenderism cult in order to prepare them for “Gender-Affirming Care” (see above).
“Undocumented migrants” ≈ Criminals who broke American immigration law so they could draw American government benefits.
“Women’s Health Care” ≈ pre-birth homicide (not available in all U.S. states).
Get ready for all these words to be prominently displayed in the “news”. Chaos, seize, controversial, ‘people who spoke off the record because they are not authorized to speak about it’, unconfirmed reports, alleged, without evidence, widely debunked, experts disagree, (depending on what will make republicans look bad) republicans and even some democrats agree or democrats and even some republicans agree, intelligence sources are saying, etc, etc. I am sure I’ve missed some.
What I think scares democrats and the left wing media the most is that Trump is a lame duck with an attitude and previous experience. My advice to Trump, ignore the msm. Foster relationships with people that accurately report what’s going on. Scrap the daily briefing in its current form and remake that briefing room to reflect where most people actually get their news from. The ratings and subscriptions show it sure ain’t cnn, abc, nbc, cbs, nyt, wapo.
I'm waiting for another series of whimpering fools crying in the Inaugural snow storm about how sad they are, and how afraid their food stamps will be cut and the baby-daddy will be deported.
The Biden/Obama admin has exposed the massive amount of evil that has been working in the world for decades. I'm particularly looking forward to Dr. Fauci et al getting prosecuted for crimes against humanity. Think it'll happen? Jenner Furst, in an interview with Tucker, discusses the bio-arms race with China, who's at fault for Covid and the great cover up (there are so many now!). Furst has a documentary: called "Thank you Dr. Fauci" - the title coming from yard signs in blue libtard's yards. This is an interview worth checking out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCn0OYE1Z8E

the voters are swayed by expensive TV ads...they don't have a brain.

pray that DOGE will take their chainsaw to that foolishness!
I never tire of watching the Milley video snatching various gov't dept titles off of the white board, and saying "afuero" (sp?)
What a mensch!
Our mensch is similarly determined!

I hope DOGE is ready to kick some ass.
DOGE has too. and yes, cost avoidance needs to be cost reduction. We have to get the debt down and quit subsidizing China with interest money.
It's Schmuck Schumer.
That's "FU Schumer" to you... thank you, Rush.
Chuck U.
Chuck U-Cheese might have more of a ring. Or would that be non-kosher?
Chuck U
Ya'll need to suck it up , the sun ain't even up on this day's work . Life isn't easy when times are good . This journey is just starting. Having expectations for lefties and D-rats is not rewarding .😁
missing from the #2 poll, Bill Barr. Two words...The Big Lie
Of all the thousands of Deep State Swamp creatures, Bill Barr might be the most disappointing. The only explanation for the extent of his back-stabbing has to involve a closet overflowing with skeletons.
…Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III…outstanding Senate coward that ceded the field from fear before the battle had even begun, and allowed his commander to be harassed for his entire term of office and 4 more years after that….
Mike Pence is right up there at the top
And a bank account overflowing with other people's money.
Never trust a deep stater.

You remember him, he’s the “guy” with a beard who wore dresses and stole woman’s luggage from the airport luggage returns.
I wonder whatever happened to that guy?
He works in an airport as a baggage handler. Union job.
Now that's funny!
He never was jailed. I am not sure his crimes made it to trial. I think he plea dealed but I need to look. The net kills that story when ever it is written so someone is paying to have it killed.
He's hanging out at airports. I think it's a mustache and not a beard that he has.
2nd poll should have included Dominion software as an option

Agree completely about the steep learning curve.
I'd have put Obama in place of Beelzebub. All of the choices have merit.
Don, I totally agree on the Stones song that epitomizes the task ahead. The Dems and the legacy media want "Paint it Black" as in "I see a red door and I wanted painted black." The next year will either be a watershed moment for America or a lost opportunity. I hope that on Jan 6th of 2026 we can look back and say that we are proud of what our Federal government has accomplished.
I pray you are correct, Jim. I am a skeptic of any real change in Congress. It loves itself and it's ability to obfuscate and spend.
Chaos is giving presidential pardons to your coconspirators ensuring that the treason goes unpunished.
Ah, yes, the New York Times, Politico, CNN. All dependable sources of deracinated, deranged anti-Trump "news".

that makes sense to me. 13 days.
Thanks , DBW . I'm sorta tired of this bellyaching about Mike Johnson . Faith in one is a great motivator .
That'll make vespers a bit easier from now until the first joint Congress meet-up.
Trump will be busy pulling Johnson's strings.
Yup, Chucky will piss down his back and tell him it's raining. And bow-tie boy won't even put up his umbrella.
If that's the case, I'll settle for his just running scared and looking alert.
here's how to play the next 14 days. read a 1000 page book. any book. the book of your choice. check surber, american thinker, truthsocial and watch old b/w movies.
you're welcome.
I suggest "Atlas Shrugged."
I suggest the Bible.
Ayn Rand doesn't seem useful where we're at. She derided politics and compromise, which are the only tools we have.
Bless her heart (southern saying of dubious honor).
everybody' s useful. i remember when i was a fledgling co-manager in my mid-twenties. i got transferred and my new manager asked me how i liked working for my last manager. i was hesitant to discuss it and he knew why. so he just looks me in eye and says: "you're always learning, no matter who is doing the teaching".
made sense to me and that was 51 years ago.
I've had such experiences, also in my twenties. And there was some recent research that concluded guys are mentally not fully grown until about age 25/26. Made sense to me, although to be honest for me the age might be higher.
those studies are mostly put together by females i'm pretty sure.
Very likely, but don't you agree that the younger people marry, the more unfinished growing-up they have to work out?
It's unlikely I could get up if I knelt to pray, since today marks my 83rd year without a Bentley.
