And to think, BHO got a Nobel Peace Prize because the color of his skin and the crease of his pants sent a collective thrill up the leg of the Euroweenie Nobel committee.
Trump comes from a different world. He's cut from different cloth than your standard fare politician--lawyers. Trump is a real estate developer--a builder, a do-er. He accomplishes things in a world of substance. Things you can see and touch. Physical reality.
Lawyers are talkers--mostly of abstractions. Mental gymnastics. You can't see or touch what they accomplish, it's amorphous, ethereal, or procedural--like jumping hoops and hurdles.
Trump is a business man. He understands the need for 1)action, 2) practical solutions and 3) that second best is sometimes the optimal (achievable) option.
Wish the do nothing Congress could grasp that.
MSM is past reformation in either truth telling or grasping reality.
I just wish Trump could start a tariff war on weak-mindedness and reality denial. Some of the limp-minded readers of the mainstream media might develop critical thinking skills.
Lately I've developed the opinion that a lot of seemingly fixed attributes are not so fixed after all; and while God blesses us all with different gifts, common sense is something He gives far more of to those who fear Him.
We are supposed to both fear and love Him, since our love is not perfect like His. To love God is to keep His commandments (1 John 5:3). Perfect love drives out fear, for fear is of punishment (1 John 4:18). Since we cannot perfectly obey, we should work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12).
As for the gifts to those who endure, read the letters to the 7 churches in Revelation chapters 2–3. Some of them are cryptic. For example, "a stone with a name written on it that no one knows except the one who receives it." (Rev. 2:17). I believe that the reason only the one who receives it can know it is that "know" is used in the Biblical sense of experiential knowledge. Only you will be able to become the name given to you. I used to worry that Christ's command to "die to self" and John the Baptist's "He must increase and I must decrease" meant we would lose our personality. But this gift indicates the opposite; God has unique plans for us all… it is the desires of the flesh that must die.
And yet the only "news" that the corporate media and its paymasters in the democrat party believes to be worthy of discussion is getting a temporary replacement Air Force One from Qatar. As if the guy who already owns a Boeing 757, a Citation X and three Sikorsky S76 helicopters is going to be swayed by a used 747. No matter how much you hate the democrat media, you don't hate them enough.
“Wall Street reacted to Red China agreeing to a 30% tariff with all the grace of a water buffalo in heat.” That has to be the best Surberist descriptor of all time!
My old boss was a brilliant interventional radiologist and an ardent zionist. He was also easily the smartest man in the building and took great delight in lording it over the myriad Arabs the university had seen fit to employ, no doubt in some DEI scam or other.
When one of them had a case that didn't go well, he would invariably say: "Raj, (for example) you have all the grace of a camel rolling down a hill."
Well done on the poll Don, all of the above but especially economy flying. Maybe you should start a separate substack that lists media predictions and then circles back the next day/week/month to expose them as the shams they are. Krugman as the tippity-top stupid liar of all time, but he has a New York audience so he squeaks by. Isn’t it wonderful to feel happy that we’re not on the edge of war or collapse with Dems in charge?
Alice, I know we all love Surber, and soak up his great articles, but don't you think he already has quite enough responsibilities without adding more to his to do list? Give the man a break! Yes, it is wonderful to feel happy that we're not on the edge of war or collapse with Dems in charge!
“Lincoln’s protective tariffs helped lay the groundwork for the Gilded Age 30 years after his assassination.”
And the Guided Age of the late 19th/early 20th centuries led to 1913: the worst year in American history that created the 16th Amendment (Income tax), 17th Amendment (dumb people electing senators instead of the many voices of the state legislatures so dumb people like Kamala Harris could be a senator) and the Federal Reserve Act (private banking cartel of the less than the 1% that would never be audited since it’s a private entity). Jefferson warned us about allowing banks to rule over us.
That did not work out well for the generations that would follow. But, what is the answer?
Epictetus said it best about what true wealth means. "Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants."
Do not forget the China tariffs from Trump 1 administration. My Texas public school math tells me that makes it higher than 30%. These "tariff wars" are much more exciting than the Dems playing like they are protesting outside an ICE facility.
Exactly A-Dub. IIRC those were in the vicinity of 20%. Which, btw, the Biden administration never revoked despite all Biden's claims about tariffs being counterproductive.
The MSM tariff stories are myopic ideology driven drivel. The real story is not about ever changing numbers. MSM hacks don't understand (or ignore) political and economic power and market access. They don't inform their consumers about the relocation of manufacturing and ending American dependence on Chinese goods. Don and his readers understand. The hacks can't report the real stories without placing Trump in a favorable light. So they don't. *** Trump is diminishing Xi's power at home and abroad. He is ending the world's dependence on China for rare earth minerals and pharmaceuticals. He is cutting off the means by which China has avoided paying tariffs/maintained market advantages. Lifting up Chinese competitors India, Pakistan, Vietnam and others further weakens China. The real story is that Trump is implementing a long term campaign to diminish China's international economic and political power. Diminish China and you diminish all of the bad actors it finances.
Thank you. Normal political change occurs on the margins over long periods. Team Trump has adopted tactics akin to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He has initiated a worldwide political and economic revolution generating changes that will last long after he exits the stage.
I hope you're right (that Trump's influence will be long lasting). But never underestimate the Republicans' ability to snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
Your point is easily proven by events post Reagan's administration. The good news is that the Dems seem hellbent on stealing the Stupid Party title from the Republicans.
Ha! that is true. It's been amazing how poorly the Democrats have handled their defeat. But they had thrown "merit" and "performance" out the window, and enshrined "polemics" as their "raison d'etre".
So the Dems don't have any accomplishments to present, and everyone is tired of their preachy polemics. No wonder Trump is rolling right over them. But if the Dems are left behind in the dust, it is purely their own fault; and good riddance.
The media will never like Trump, what he accomplishes or anything else.
If he fell down dead they would criticize him.
Listening or watching the media makes one realize that what they say is true isn’t and what they leave out is true or more relevant than what they say. Believing the opposite of what they say gets you closer to reality and what is true.
Just asked Grok instead of McGoogle the reply-Mainstream media would likely split into two camps. Outlets critical of Trump might frame it as a stunt, questioning the authenticity or suggesting it’s a distraction from policy failures—think headlines like “Trump’s Water-Walking Claim: Miracle or Mirage?” or “Is Trump’s Latest Act Just Smoke and Mirrors?” They’d probably dig for scientific explanations or accuse him of exploiting religious imagery for political gain. Sympathetic outlets, meanwhile, could amplify it as proof of his larger-than-life persona, with phrases like “Trump Defies Physics, Critics Stunned” or “A New Miracle for MAGA?” Some might lean into the spectacle, debating whether it’s divine or just great branding. X posts would show a similar divide—skeptics calling it CGI or a shallow pool, fans hailing it as godly. No hard data on this hypothetical, but that’s the vibe based on past coverage patterns.
It is wonderful to have a president that is working for the good of the american people, not the crooked dipwads we have had for the last 50 years or so. The Pakistan vs India negotiations are a thing of beauty. I hope the participants are smart enough to stay the course and end the recriminations.
Trump laid good groundwork with India in his first term. And sent J.D. Vance and family to cement the relationship. Unlike all the "wise" NGO/foreign policy gurus in Washington, Trump understands the strengths/weaknesses of various countries. His insights are also putting a vise on the Europeans.
To wit, first deal with the U.K., and even Starmer is now backing down on his excessive leftist comments.
Plus, Rubio and J.D. Vance have shamed Germany into revoking their "lawfare" against AfD (they had categorized it as a "far right radical organization, hence subject to surveillance.
Journalists wonder why we hold most of them in such low regard. What had Trump wanted from the start - a 10-15% uniform tariff load - now appears to be in place everywhere. That rate will now be a floater in bilateral trade relations between us and other countries.
I don't expect this to be the last hurdle, nor the last disruption. My buys at the dip have increased in value between 15-20%, with only one hanging around single digits, and I liked the stocks so I'm holding. But if you get some more investment cash hanging around, be ready for the next dip to buy some more deals. It will be coming. And when that happens, and China understands it can't go back to the status quo, I expect all the journalists to scream about it again. Because when it is always Trump's fault, that means they are just making it up.
"Journalists wonder why we hold most of them in such low regard. "
The media empire hasn't built their market and revenue stream on the multitude of individual listeners' loyalty. They must have other streams of money coming that are more important than their 'consumers'. Hopefully, the identification and elimination of the hidden money laundering DOGE has accomplished will dry up some of their sources. And, hopefully, listeners who have abandoned them will not return when media has to change their ways to survive.
PS: Referring to them as 'journalists' is giving them way too much skillset and ability. They are professional liars for a price. People who lie for money are propagandists.
Truth to legacy media- and to leftists- is like sunlight to a vampire.
Since you are a ‘Rev’ I can share that I have prayed to cast out demons in God’s name but the way it’s going, it won’t be long before we start casting out Democrats in God’s name.
There are days where I can’t tell the difference between a demon and a democrat.
"Rupert Murdoch’s MarketWatch served up the Democrat talking points..."
That is the part that is always makes my stomach curl; the Blob is just waiting for him to leave so they can re-start giving away America to line their pockets.
Stay strong folks and on top of so-called republicans like Thom Tillis. People like him are narcissists who have never done anything in life. From Wiki:
"After high school, Tillis worked at Provident Life and Accident Insurance Co. in Chattanooga, Tennessee, helping computerize records in conjunction with Wang Laboratories, a computer company in Boston.[10] Wang eventually hired Tillis to work in its Boston office.[10] He spent two and a half years there before being transferred back to Chattanooga, and then Atlanta.[10] In 1990, he was recruited to work for accounting and consulting firm Price Waterhouse.[10][11] In 1996, Tillis was promoted to partner.[6] In 1998, he and his family moved to Cornelius, North Carolina.[7]
PricewaterhouseCoopers sold its consulting arm to IBM in 2002[12] and Tillis went to IBM as well.[6] Tillis began his political career in 2002 in Cornelius, as he pushed for a local bike trail and was elected to the town's park board. He ran for town commissioner in 2003 and tied for second place.[7]"
When you have the whole of the government Blob and Judiciary working against you things get a whole lot tougher. Look at the 'rights' they are simply invoking on illegal scumbags - it moves cases to a whole other level of difficulty.
Imagine if you start digging into orgs that get billions of your dollars - things get dangerous.

Mine is that he got that because he wasn't W, more than anything else.
I just wish Trump could start a tariff war on weak-mindedness and reality denial. Some of the limp-minded readers of the mainstream media might develop critical thinking skills.
Alas, you can't fix stupid.
Can we sweep it under the rug and pretend it's Europe's ugly step-child?
Since it's commie, that is kinda true.
I think that is exactly what he is doing.
Still waiting for them to come to the table… 😅
Could it be that some are born with critical thinking skills? Others can merely fake it till they make it.
Lately I've developed the opinion that a lot of seemingly fixed attributes are not so fixed after all; and while God blesses us all with different gifts, common sense is something He gives far more of to those who fear Him.
Oddly enough they call the most uncommon commodity, "common sense."
What do you think he gives to those who love rather than fear him?
We are supposed to both fear and love Him, since our love is not perfect like His. To love God is to keep His commandments (1 John 5:3). Perfect love drives out fear, for fear is of punishment (1 John 4:18). Since we cannot perfectly obey, we should work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12).
As for the gifts to those who endure, read the letters to the 7 churches in Revelation chapters 2–3. Some of them are cryptic. For example, "a stone with a name written on it that no one knows except the one who receives it." (Rev. 2:17). I believe that the reason only the one who receives it can know it is that "know" is used in the Biblical sense of experiential knowledge. Only you will be able to become the name given to you. I used to worry that Christ's command to "die to self" and John the Baptist's "He must increase and I must decrease" meant we would lose our personality. But this gift indicates the opposite; God has unique plans for us all… it is the desires of the flesh that must die.
I missed the fear part. Thankfully He has lovingly corrected my course throughout my long life by making it better. No fear only gratitude and trust.
I can’t remember which disciple said “I die daily.” Paul? You have a good command of the Bible. I’ve looked and it eludes me.
Or don’t make it and live in mommy’s basement?
"President Trump is negotiating. This is not nuclear science. He asks for the stars and settles for the moon."
The naysayers and clowns in the press still don't understand that the moon was the goal all along.
And they never will....
And yet the only "news" that the corporate media and its paymasters in the democrat party believes to be worthy of discussion is getting a temporary replacement Air Force One from Qatar.

No matter how much you hate the democrat media, you don't hate them enough.
Amen 1000 times !!!
Too true Steve.
Somehow the MSM missed that the "gift" is being made to DOD/Air Force and that we will spend around $100MM with a domestic contractor to retrofit it.

I hear Don is part the redneck branch of Serbians…
I don’t know about that. I haven’t seen him at the meetings…lol
And is it practically spiritual in its truth!
Well done on the poll Don, all of the above but especially economy flying.

I voted for the media dying with the thought that, the more the media dies, the more everything good in the US flies. Soars. Skyrockets.

Moi aussi.

Nah, he's a natural multitasker! He can make a list from his regular columns where he constantly skewers them.
No rest for the weary!
Row well and live, Don.

Trump's entire strategy on all of this is marvelous, and you've given an excellent capsule summary of it.

If Trump could walk on water, the media would accuse him of trespass.
Just asked Grok instead of McGoogle the reply-Mainstream media would likely split into two camps.

So true, especially the part about what the media leaves out. It's very often more important than what they report.
I like to use [ lying by omission ] to describe evening news.
The power of the media is the power to ignore.
My favorite criticism of the Left is : "If Trump endorsed oxygen, the Left would stop breathing."
It is wonderful to have a president that is working for the good of the american people, not the crooked dipwads we have had for the last 50 years or so. The Pakistan vs India negotiations are a thing of beauty. I hope the participants are smart enough to stay the course and end the recriminations.

China moves slower than the Vatican. Trump's draconian tariffs woke up the Panda. Thirty days later China agrees to 30% tariffs. Historic.
I will spend the day trying to interject “like a water buffalo in heat” into as many conversations as possible. Thanks, Surbs! 😁
You are a true zoologist! Welcome to the jungle.
I can wallow in the muck with the best of them. 💩
I don't know, I think the you know what monkeys takes top prize...where is the hysterical laugh emoji when I need it???

If RFK, Jr. can end the Big Pharma advertising on TV, much, much more of the media's filthy lucre will dry up.
It may get so bad that they'll have to start telling the truth in order to earn a buck!

I prefer presstitutes.

Failing upwards.
Me thinks Trump is triangulating on these low-T GOP losers. Primary them all. House and senate.
Agreed. He is using these issues to 'out' folks. No Ed Martin? Okay, fine. There are hundreds of equals or betters to send out.
Also, I believe Bondi and Katel are in those positions to protect the administration only; the sub level types are getting the real work done.
If true, they aren't even doing THAT job very well. Curry Breath and the Non-Atomic Blonde have yet to demonstrate any value to the administration.
Agree, but when nobody checks the imperial Judiciary(John Roberts), I guess I am unsure what they can do.
What has Patel done? He seems to be invisible as far as I can tell, I was expecting big things....what am I missing?
Check out recent FBI arrests of child traffickers in multiple states.
And bringing various cases requires a lot of prep...takes time.
When you have the whole of the government Blob and Judiciary working against you things get a whole lot tougher. Look at the 'rights' they are simply invoking on illegal scumbags - it moves cases to a whole other level of difficulty.

Tillis currently married, and was previously twice married and twice divorced. Just sayin'.
God willing Tillis will be primaried.
It has occurred to me that the same people that say Dubai gave Trump a 400M airplane also say you own the money in your Social Security account.
