They made ships once called Junks I would suggest most everything made in China is still junk, including their ships, aircraft, military assets, and the country itself.
01/08/26: The Japanese 1970s-1990s lost @ 10 billion dollars (back when that was a lot of money; today it's Somali pocket change) buying up American real estate.
I thought I saw the same pattern when the Chinese started punching the Uncle Remus Tar Baby by buying the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in Manhattan.
Nope. We now know that China's real estate investments were in Venezuela. Oh dear. Kaboom. All gone.
Maybe Xi can do some Cracker Barrel TV ads as a paid model to recover some of the dough blown up by the same people who will blow him up if he FAFO's with Taiwan.
Chinese bought some office buildings about 15 years ago here in Dallas, when sold about 4 years ago, they had used industrial type chemicals to clean the 20 stories of toilets, ALL the sewer pipes in the building had t/b replaced over a year or two.

01/09/26: Long ago, I read about an airport, possibly in Shanghai, when a British supervisor irately stated that the Chinese baggage handlers would casually smoke within feet of highly explosive cannisters.

At 77 I donβt care about any one else other than out Hemisphere and our allies elsewhere that help to keep us safe.
As a matter of fact, in order to not appear terminally selfish let me fine tune even that, I only care about the northern part of our hemisphere.

It is now clear that America's real enemies actually reside within its borders. The democrat party and its lickspittle apologists in the corporate media have been hoping for a crazed lunatic being killed by Homeland Security and it has now happened, with the usual result: chest-thumping by democrat politicians, amplified by the media looking to foment another George Floyd episode and willing idiots, malcontents, weirdos and losers to carry out their marching orders. I hope that Trump reacts just as vigorously to our domestic enemies as he has to the foreign ones. Weakness in the face of militant opposition is not the appropriate response.
That has been known for some time....I maintain that Pelosi, behind, with others, J6, retired to put herself more beyond the reach of punishment for what she did that day.....I wish that Trump were more vindictive...he needs a bad guy (well, Steve Miller is one) to do his dirty work....
Yes...I was having difficulty with the correct adjective....He plays a tough guy persona but avoids showing the soft side. People like him need a hatchet man.
Pete is exactly where he belongs.....Re Bondi: Hard to tell whether there are many things going on behind the scenes in which she is involved as foundations are laid....the DOJ is infested with true believers left over from Obama and Biden...you can't fire or replace them all at the same time and getting rid of recalcitrant lower level civilians used to operating as loose cannons is even harder....
Hard to tell....when you are in a vipers nest, some snakes are poisonous but there may be some non-poisonous ones. It's hard to tell who to trust...it's a process of elimination....
That's already known which organizations are behind these protests....EpochTimes, Racket News, KlusterFuck Nation, and a host of others have already published the names of the organizations..
And following the money trail back leads to the WEF whose goal is to destroy the United States and burden us with crippling debt.
Here we are, trillions under water and borrowing money which we then hand to foreign despots and to NGO's who then send suitcases of cash to fund terrorism abroad, or worst of all, an imposter in the White House who sent pallets of cash to Iran.
Actually, burdening us with crippling debt, per se, is not a direct goal of the WEF....imho...overwhelming the system with worldwide open borders, concentrating first on western countries....yes....they are not worried about communist countries....those are already where they want them to be...the goal is global communism....akin to global Islamic caliphate....the question is who, if either, will win and are they compatible....
Bill Gates has said that their goal is to reduce the population of earth to under one billion people. War famine and poison are tools he gladly employs to reach that goal. They want a total dictatorship with their supreme council running the ahow and us replaced with People who easily accept living without luxury and barely any necessity. Serfs who will labor for fifty years then die from some plague or maybe malnutrition while they live in luxury and elegance.
america needs 10,000 more donald j. trumps and 10,000 LESS of aoc, waltz, newsom, whitmer, schumer, collins, murkowski and other assorted useless twits.
Four dead in Ohio. One dead in Minnesota. Tampon Tim says he will activate the Minnesota National Guard to protect citizens against DHS ICE. BUCKLE UP. Should be fun. I am betting on The Donald and Kristi. π
01/08/26: In my comic punchlines, yes. In reality, running a business, no. They had no idea that Verizon's new routers were destroying FanDuel's client's electronic ability to connect to the FanDuel website to wager.

01/09/26: An hour or so later the news came in that their parent company is close to bankruptcy after Major League Baseball cancelled all their contracts with FD. Wouldn't be at all surprised that when the dust settled, we'll find Somalians running the operation (a bust-out).
Whackopedia is spreading disinformation about the award winning poet. Of note, she moved to Canada after the 2024 election, her "wife" claimed they recently moved to Mogadishu from Colorado. They say she was just a bystander, but also claim she was a legal observer.
If you think you can stomach it, check out the garbage passed off as poetry. It's titled "on dissecting fetal pigs".
01/08/26: This do-it-on/to-yourself "medicine" is really quite remarkable. And no doubt, the Wikipedia profile of The Dead Lesbian Driver is brand new (why else would anyone have noticed her miserable existence?)
We also have 277,000 Chi-com spies on our soil. They are here on student visas, military aged men and women, most already members of their army or from families connected to the top of the Chinese government. That this event happened in a region controlled by a governor with deep ties to Xi and that he is under fire for mismanagement of government funds, look for things to escalate swiftly if Trump doesn't stay on top of things.
01/08/26: The exact same thing occurred to me today. A dead black lesbian would have re-started the hellfires. The one that died died a nobody and concern about her fate, being merchandisable, will flicker out in about another 20 minutes. Ah, if it had only been H. Rap "Andrea" Brown...
I don't understand why everyone seems to pay homage to that rag as if it is some kind of gold standard of journalism or some prescient oracle imparting its wisdom from on high! They aren't that at all, and never have been. They shouldn't even be allowed to exist. They are an open latrine souring everything that comes near them with their stench.
I don't care what they have to say about anything and if they disappear tomorrow it will be a great day.
It certainly opens ones eyes to think just how ineffective these wimps have been in running our country's national security. It is even scarier to think what will happen if we can't keep this administration going through 2026, 2028, and beyond.
And it displays for all to see how absolutely wrong the MSM - especially the NYT, WaPo, CNN, MSNOW - are in their βanalysis. Itβs so bad that their comments can only be viewed as Russian/Chinese propaganda!
It is amazing. Technology hurt them. And of course they drove half the readers away deliberately by lying to them. I guess all that consolidation wasn't so smart after all.
I don't recall ever having read much from the Pittsburg Post Gazette. I know Philly is a hard core Left pit ("city"), but is Pittsburg too? And was the Post Gazette also just another typical far Left rag?
I think the right-leaning paper in Pittsburgh was the Pittsburgh Press but it went under, or was bought by the Post Gazzette. I left at a fairly young age so my perceptions may not be accurate (I'm sure Mr. Surber knows all the newspaper history) but Pittsburgh was dominated by union democrat voters who were NOT the present day leftist lunatics. they worked hard for their pay, voted for what is today America First policies, and were probably not in favor of today's liberal social crap. Basically, a Pittsburgh union worker isn't far from a Trump supporter in attitude and belief.
Those here with more knowledge, please weight-in.
The suburbs were growing fast with wealth and more conservative views and have diluted the union democrat image especially when steel and smoke left the city. The city isn't what it was when I was there in 1970.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is no longer considered a left-wing paper; it has shifted to a right-center editorial stance, particularly after 2018 when its editorial operations were consolidated with its conservative-leaning sister paper, The Blade of Toledo.
As of recent years, the paper has endorsed Republican candidates, including Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, and its opinion content has increasingly favored right-leaning perspectives.
The Post-Gazette historically supported liberal causes and Democratic presidential candidates, not endorsing a Republican for president since 1972 until its 2020 endorsement of Trump.
Wasn't '72 the year Nixon won 49 states (which is why the left had to take him out)? I'm sure Trump has won 49 states at least once - but we'll never know because of vote fraud and leftist "journalism".
01/08/26: In fairness, a comments section can be fifty times more trouble than it's worth and I've seen one news site remove the option because they were spending too much time on monitoring and deleting deranged comments.
I don't like to be the skunk at the picnic, but we are in very deep and troubled waters. Trump has just given us a little breathing room. But he is one of a kind and as talented as his cabinet is, I don't see anyone there with even close to the capability or charisma that Trump has. Look how disgracefully pathetic and limp his support is coming from his own feckless Republicans. They really are disgusting and if we truly are in battle with them as our military, they are all nothing but deserters. They won't even pick up their weapons and fight. They let Trump do all the work, then they get on the phone and ask for donations for doing nothing. And they all can't wait for Trump to be gone so they can all get back to business as usual.
No, we are in very deep trouble once Trump is no longer in charge.
That's why our esteemed forefathers placed " We the People " as the command authority of our Republic. Don't " blame " Trump for future shortcomings we might face-build from his examples. Hint - start locally.
01/08/26: Rubio, Vance, Noem, Hegseth and others whose names escape me at the moment can carry on the job with roughly the same degree of success. And Musk has the cash, and if he refrains from his 2025 childish outbursts, that's one less problem.
Ineffective? What makes you think that FJB or Austin or Milley were on Team USA? That open border and the influx of China with BRICs happened for a reason....it was wanted and allowed. I hear both sides of the argument about McCarthy (the other one) but I have been saying for years "where's McCarthy when you need him?"....The election of Mamdani, a communist as is AOC and friends, will embolden these people to up the schedule of converting this country into a communist paradise....It's been over a hundred years in the making....Trump is just holding his thumb in the hole in the dike...we need people to take his place....
All of them would be clueless and cross-eyed if they ever had to orchestrate a military attack - totally ineffective.
Yes, I agree everything under Obama/Biden was intentionally done to destroy our Republic. They are enemies of state and I have said this repeatedly in my posts here.
I have been screaming about the mid-terms being the biggest issue in front of us because the left is salivating about taking one or both Houses of congress to stop trump and possibly impeach him. That threat is as big as any war threat.
Our war is with a Congress - both parties - who don't like trump and want him gone. We can count on one hand the republicans who are truly Trump patriots.
That is scary and we all forget how little footing Trump has with his colleagues in DC. 98% of them are just 'waiting him out'.
This is so true (about Congress); it continues to be a corrupt cesspool that hates Trump and isn't supporting his policies - MAGA - at all with significant legislation that would clean up Washington.
Trump's next high stakes invasion needs to completely expose and neutralize them like he's just done to China, Iran and Russia (throw the EU in there as well).
If anyone doubts what you say, refer to the headline yesterday (I did not read the piece) claiming PDJTs βmarginβ was close and closing β¦because a Republican congressman died. Talk about inhuman. Nah, just call it evil.
Great take. My first thought was that Mamdani, and his partner in crime Hochul, would turn NYC into such a failure that it would be so obvious to everybody. But then I thought about the people who voted for Biden and Newsome.
And once again DJT is playing 3D chess while our domestic and foreign enemies are still wiping their collective behinds from the diarrhea caused by their angst over our fearless leader. Trump has decided that itβs time now to flush our enemies down the drain.
He's setting them all up like duckpins so as one gets knocked over it rolls around on its side and knocks a few more down along with it.
This is a geopolitical masterpiece the likes the world has never seen before. When any of our wretched Democrats dares to open their disgusting mouths we need to scream at them to shut the hell up and go sit down. You've screwed us up so much in just four years it's lucky we're still kicking. The adults are in charge now so STFU before we stomp you into the ground.
So what's the Trumpster going to do for an encore. He thinks bigger than anyone. Cuba might be next. Their Russian equipment has been exposed as worthless. Cuba's is probably pretty old like their cars as well. Marco is itching to tell his relatives that they can go home now.
I donβt know about Andy, other than a great movie, The Lost City, he made about 20 years ago about the fall of Cuba in 1959, but - Gloria and her husband can leave America anytime but should not be permitted back in Cuba. They hosted a fundraiser for Oblahma in 2010 where they let him try to influence other Americans of Cuban descent. Loved a lot of her music 35 years ago but I canβt respect her intelligence since it appears she votes Democrat.
She tries to play it safe - just like Michael Jordan, but it's obvious she's a lefty:
Gloria Estefan is not officially affiliated with any political party, including the Democratic Party. She has consistently stated that she is not a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, emphasizing her dislike for political labels.
While she has supported Democratic initiatives and candidatesβsuch as hosting a fundraiser for President Barack Obama in 2010
and expressing enthusiasm about Kamala Harris being the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee in 2020
βshe and her husband Emilio identify as non-affiliated and work with both Democrats and Republicans
USA! USA! USA! President Donald John Trump is Making America Great Again. Trump 2.0 is nearly everything we have been hoping/waiting for, for years. There is no reason for the USA to pussy foot around. Next up Somali extracation.
Amen--full blast on the Somali fraud, all over America. And publicity and convictions of Democrats in state government who were co-conspirators and accessories. Nothing will help the midterms more than Americans realizing the extent to which the "Democratic" Party has become a RICO criminal cartel.
I'm for convicting every crooked Republican as well - they are also "enemies of the people" and they need to go down, hard. It's the only way to fix the Republican party - the only party that's (potentially) fixable.
In the Wile E. Coyote/Road Runner cartoons Acme was the name of the company Wile E. bought all his contraptions from to thwart the Road Runner that never worked out. Temu Mao could register the name in Chy-na w/o trademark infringement in the US. Plus they steal everything of ours anyway.
With the exception of Reagan, all of our previous presidents and political leaders talked ceaselessly and poetically about all of the dangers in the world and what had to be done about them. They talked and talked, and then talked some more. They held conferences and formed new organizations where they could talk more formally. But everything always remained the same and nothing ever changed.
Trump suffers none of that. He identifies a problem and always sees the opportunities that accompany it. He determines his course of action, and then he does it. It is over before most people even know it happened. Trump is a force in this world unlike anything witnessed in modern times. We don't know how lucky we are to have him on the stage at this point in history.
Yes! And interesting wording you used in this sentence: "He identifies a problem and always sees the opportunities that accompany it."
I think your statement gets at an important underlying truth--that problems (some form of evil or simple "badness") ALWAYS, by definition, include some weaknesses. We tend to be impressed and intimidated by evil and "badness", but we forget that they are always fatally flawed because of some underlying false premise.
I think Trump is fundamentally not as intimidated as most people are by evil; probably because he has already seen and overcome so much of it (as a real estate developer in NY dealing with the Mafia (now demised, thanks to Guiliani) and hardcore NY liberals).
So Trump does go straight to recognizing the weaknesses--"opportunities" and exploiting them ruthlessly to bring down evil.
Today I could easily see the obvious choice (making PDJT look good), but I think that's more for the brainwashed herd of DementoRats and most of their dumbest politicians and of course all their "journos."
I think the power brokers behind the scenes might be more worried about setbacks to Temu Mao (one of the funniest monikers ever!).
The Klaus Schwab crowd has been counting on the CCP for years to take the USA and all of Western Civilization as we know it down for them. And up until this year the CCP seems to have been succeeding.
They were also counting on machine fraud assistance with the midterms.
And Schwab and his WEF are too stupid to know how lucky they are that Trump is neutering the CCP. They actually thought China would clear the field for them so they would be in charge!!!!! China would smile at them, thank them for their help, and then put them up against a wall and shoot them. As Churchill tried to warn others about Hitler, you might get the crocodile to eat someone else first, but he will eventually circle around and set his sights on you!
I still think we need to kick out every βChinese studentβ out of every college in this country.
We all know they are required to spy on us and this wack-a-mole approach to catch them is both time consuming and costly plus you get a case of espionage in front of some wacky liberal judge and the outcome is in serious doubt.
Same with the Somalis. Send them back. Cost effective and it would free up a lot of houses for Americans to purchase.
Poll choices all great, all true, but gotta pay more protesters wins the day! Trump and team outsmart all malicious actors with speed and awe. Itβs not even fair to compare decent Republicans to Trump, much less feckless Democrats. My heart sings thinking of Obama/Brennan/Comey teamβs daily torture!
It never went awayβtheir βbreakupβ was designed to save Elonβs company, and it appears to have worked. Heβs had his DOGE guys working diligently to trace the funding schemes of the democrats. Without their taxpayer funds and foreign donations, they canβt do a thing.
IDK, Dat- I prefer a little less conspiratorial explanation. I think it was an inevitable explosion naturally occurring when two world class megalomaniacs occupy the same space.
I see it as an evolution in their relationship, between a father and a son. I doubt Elon will be as quick to go off on Trump again.
So Chinese air defense systems work as well as Chinese Christmas lights.
Probably not returnable either.
Lmao ππππππΊπΈ

It is now clear that America's real enemies actually reside within its borders. The democrat party and its lickspittle apologists in the corporate media have been hoping for a crazed lunatic being killed by Homeland Security and it has now happened, with the usual result: chest-thumping by democrat politicians, amplified by the media looking to foment another George Floyd episode and willing idiots, malcontents, weirdos and losers to carry out their marching orders. I hope that Trump reacts just as vigorously to our domestic enemies as he has to the foreign ones. Weakness in the face of militant opposition is not the appropriate response.

All these astroturf events are using the same signage.

While itβs true that a crazed lunatic was killed, she doesnβt fit the presstitutes favorite narrative.
Had she been black, cities would be burning.
I somehow doubt inner city thugs will give a sh*t about a dead white lesbian. In fact Iβd bet they are smoking their blunts and laughing.
She punches another ticket, lesbian. Had her six year old boy been transgender, we'd be in a war now.
01/08/26: The exact same thing occurred to me today. A dead black lesbian would have re-started the hellfires. The one that died died a nobody and concern about her fate, being merchandisable, will flicker out in about another 20 minutes. Ah, if it had only been H. Rap "Andrea" Brown...
The nicest aspect of Trumpβs mission to arrest Maduro is that it got NYT a chance to look even more stupid and irrelevant than usual.
I don't understand why everyone seems to pay homage to that rag as if it is some kind of gold standard of journalism or some prescient oracle imparting its wisdom from on high! They aren't that at all, and never have been. They shouldn't even be allowed to exist. They are an open latrine souring everything that comes near them with their stench.
I don't care what they have to say about anything and if they disappear tomorrow it will be a great day.
They do make great fish wrap. ππ
Might contaminate the fish.
Don't forget the wingnuts at The View.
I think we passed warp speed on their irrelevancy some time ago.
We're now in plaid.
but they're so forgettable jake.
And that is almost impossible... but there is WaPo too.
βWaPooβ
"Just wait 'til it hits the streets" could be their motto.
WA POO cost Bezos $250,000,000. That's it. A FACT is the punchline.
Can you even imagine FJB or his DEI SecDef, Lloyd Austin, even contemplating what Trump has accomplished?
It certainly opens ones eyes to think just how ineffective these wimps have been in running our country's national security. It is even scarier to think what will happen if we can't keep this administration going through 2026, 2028, and beyond.
We've won a battle but the war rages.
And it displays for all to see how absolutely wrong the MSM - especially the NYT, WaPo, CNN, MSNOW - are in their βanalysis. Itβs so bad that their comments can only be viewed as Russian/Chinese propaganda!
It isn't worth my time to read or study anything posted or published by mainstream media, especially newspapers.
BTW: The newspaper I grew up with (Pittsburgh Post Gazette) just went belly-up. Kane posted it in his CFP stack today.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/business/media/pittsburgh-post-gazette-closing.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ClA.YWqQ.pVmXs-zfPBrm&smid=url-share
May the NYT and all others go the same way.
It is amazing. Technology hurt them. And of course they drove half the readers away deliberately by lying to them. I guess all that consolidation wasn't so smart after all.
I don't recall ever having read much from the Pittsburg Post Gazette. I know Philly is a hard core Left pit ("city"), but is Pittsburg too? And was the Post Gazette also just another typical far Left rag?
I think the right-leaning paper in Pittsburgh was the Pittsburgh Press but it went under, or was bought by the Post Gazzette. I left at a fairly young age so my perceptions may not be accurate (I'm sure Mr. Surber knows all the newspaper history) but Pittsburgh was dominated by union democrat voters who were NOT the present day leftist lunatics. they worked hard for their pay, voted for what is today America First policies, and were probably not in favor of today's liberal social crap. Basically, a Pittsburgh union worker isn't far from a Trump supporter in attitude and belief.
Those here with more knowledge, please weight-in.
The suburbs were growing fast with wealth and more conservative views and have diluted the union democrat image especially when steel and smoke left the city. The city isn't what it was when I was there in 1970.
It used to be a far-left rag:
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is no longer considered a left-wing paper; it has shifted to a right-center editorial stance, particularly after 2018 when its editorial operations were consolidated with its conservative-leaning sister paper, The Blade of Toledo.
As of recent years, the paper has endorsed Republican candidates, including Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, and its opinion content has increasingly favored right-leaning perspectives.
The Post-Gazette historically supported liberal causes and Democratic presidential candidates, not endorsing a Republican for president since 1972 until its 2020 endorsement of Trump.
Wasn't '72 the year Nixon won 49 states (which is why the left had to take him out)? I'm sure Trump has won 49 states at least once - but we'll never know because of vote fraud and leftist "journalism".
01/08/26: Today, it is a no-wing paper. It is gone.
Thanks--interesting. So I guess I'm sorry to hear of its demise.
Itβs also why they donβt allow comments.
Exactly
01/08/26: In fairness, a comments section can be fifty times more trouble than it's worth and I've seen one news site remove the option because they were spending too much time on monitoring and deleting deranged comments.
And cowards.
I don't like to be the skunk at the picnic, but we are in very deep and troubled waters. Trump has just given us a little breathing room. But he is one of a kind and as talented as his cabinet is, I don't see anyone there with even close to the capability or charisma that Trump has. Look how disgracefully pathetic and limp his support is coming from his own feckless Republicans. They really are disgusting and if we truly are in battle with them as our military, they are all nothing but deserters. They won't even pick up their weapons and fight. They let Trump do all the work, then they get on the phone and ask for donations for doing nothing. And they all can't wait for Trump to be gone so they can all get back to business as usual.
No, we are in very deep trouble once Trump is no longer in charge.
That's why our esteemed forefathers placed " We the People " as the command authority of our Republic. Don't " blame " Trump for future shortcomings we might face-build from his examples. Hint - start locally.
I hope not.
Actually, right now, while I don't agree with everything, I think the next best hope is Rubio....
01/08/26: Rubio, Vance, Noem, Hegseth and others whose names escape me at the moment can carry on the job with roughly the same degree of success. And Musk has the cash, and if he refrains from his 2025 childish outbursts, that's one less problem.
Ineffective? What makes you think that FJB or Austin or Milley were on Team USA? That open border and the influx of China with BRICs happened for a reason....it was wanted and allowed. I hear both sides of the argument about McCarthy (the other one) but I have been saying for years "where's McCarthy when you need him?"....The election of Mamdani, a communist as is AOC and friends, will embolden these people to up the schedule of converting this country into a communist paradise....It's been over a hundred years in the making....Trump is just holding his thumb in the hole in the dike...we need people to take his place....
All of them would be clueless and cross-eyed if they ever had to orchestrate a military attack - totally ineffective.
Yes, I agree everything under Obama/Biden was intentionally done to destroy our Republic. They are enemies of state and I have said this repeatedly in my posts here.
I have been screaming about the mid-terms being the biggest issue in front of us because the left is salivating about taking one or both Houses of congress to stop trump and possibly impeach him. That threat is as big as any war threat.
Our war is with a Congress - both parties - who don't like trump and want him gone. We can count on one hand the republicans who are truly Trump patriots.
That is scary and we all forget how little footing Trump has with his colleagues in DC. 98% of them are just 'waiting him out'.
This is so true (about Congress); it continues to be a corrupt cesspool that hates Trump and isn't supporting his policies - MAGA - at all with significant legislation that would clean up Washington.
Trump's next high stakes invasion needs to completely expose and neutralize them like he's just done to China, Iran and Russia (throw the EU in there as well).
If anyone doubts what you say, refer to the headline yesterday (I did not read the piece) claiming PDJTs βmarginβ was close and closing β¦because a Republican congressman died. Talk about inhuman. Nah, just call it evil.
Great take. My first thought was that Mamdani, and his partner in crime Hochul, would turn NYC into such a failure that it would be so obvious to everybody. But then I thought about the people who voted for Biden and Newsome.
We can, we will, we must. Courage!
The lefty press is boosting communism and trying to defeat Americanism, ie freedom. They deserve to go down and I hope they do.
FJB is waaaaay beyond contemplating anything. As to Lloyd Austin, he's too busy polishing his medals.
Sully, bllinkin.
.and nodding off. What s team
Xiβs latest fortune cookie says sum ting wong.

Nice to have a smile while contemplating tough scenarios!

And once again DJT is playing 3D chess while our domestic and foreign enemies are still wiping their collective behinds from the diarrhea caused by their angst over our fearless leader. Trump has decided that itβs time now to flush our enemies down the drain.
He restores meaning to national sovereignty.
A bit scatological for me this early in the morning, but right on (as we used to say).
Trump not only built a wall securing our southern border. Heβs building a wall securing the US around the entire Western Hemisphere.
Stunning.
Heβs no longer playing chess, heβs setting up a domino chain leading all the way around the world, tipped over from the Oval Office.
Great analogy!
He's setting them all up like duckpins so as one gets knocked over it rolls around on its side and knocks a few more down along with it.
This is a geopolitical masterpiece the likes the world has never seen before. When any of our wretched Democrats dares to open their disgusting mouths we need to scream at them to shut the hell up and go sit down. You've screwed us up so much in just four years it's lucky we're still kicking. The adults are in charge now so STFU before we stomp you into the ground.
Amen!
So what's the Trumpster going to do for an encore. He thinks bigger than anyone. Cuba might be next. Their Russian equipment has been exposed as worthless. Cuba's is probably pretty old like their cars as well. Marco is itching to tell his relatives that they can go home now.
No. Never!!!! Gloria Estefan and Andy Garcia stay. lol ππππ
I donβt know about Andy, other than a great movie, The Lost City, he made about 20 years ago about the fall of Cuba in 1959, but - Gloria and her husband can leave America anytime but should not be permitted back in Cuba. They hosted a fundraiser for Oblahma in 2010 where they let him try to influence other Americans of Cuban descent. Loved a lot of her music 35 years ago but I canβt respect her intelligence since it appears she votes Democrat.
She tries to play it safe - just like Michael Jordan, but it's obvious she's a lefty:
Gloria Estefan is not officially affiliated with any political party, including the Democratic Party. She has consistently stated that she is not a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, emphasizing her dislike for political labels.
While she has supported Democratic initiatives and candidatesβsuch as hosting a fundraiser for President Barack Obama in 2010
and expressing enthusiasm about Kamala Harris being the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee in 2020
βshe and her husband Emilio identify as non-affiliated and work with both Democrats and Republicans
Maybe she turned lib because in all those great tunes from many years agoβ¦sheβs always getting dumped. lol πππππππ
USA! USA! USA! President Donald John Trump is Making America Great Again. Trump 2.0 is nearly everything we have been hoping/waiting for, for years. There is no reason for the USA to pussy foot around. Next up Somali extracation.
Amen--full blast on the Somali fraud, all over America. And publicity and convictions of Democrats in state government who were co-conspirators and accessories. Nothing will help the midterms more than Americans realizing the extent to which the "Democratic" Party has become a RICO criminal cartel.
TPG - that is exactly what the commiecrats are. Thousands of them deserve prison sentences. Unfortunately many Republicans have gone the same way.
I'm for convicting every crooked Republican as well - they are also "enemies of the people" and they need to go down, hard. It's the only way to fix the Republican party - the only party that's (potentially) fixable.
βThe only person in their showroom now is Wile E. Coyote.β
OMG! π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
Surber spray alert ??
I guess TEMU needs a name change. How about ACME?
π€£π
Nope! ACME is all-American.
In the Wile E. Coyote/Road Runner cartoons Acme was the name of the company Wile E. bought all his contraptions from to thwart the Road Runner that never worked out. Temu Mao could register the name in Chy-na w/o trademark infringement in the US. Plus they steal everything of ours anyway.
With the exception of Reagan, all of our previous presidents and political leaders talked ceaselessly and poetically about all of the dangers in the world and what had to be done about them. They talked and talked, and then talked some more. They held conferences and formed new organizations where they could talk more formally. But everything always remained the same and nothing ever changed.
Trump suffers none of that. He identifies a problem and always sees the opportunities that accompany it. He determines his course of action, and then he does it. It is over before most people even know it happened. Trump is a force in this world unlike anything witnessed in modern times. We don't know how lucky we are to have him on the stage at this point in history.
Yes! And interesting wording you used in this sentence: "He identifies a problem and always sees the opportunities that accompany it."
I think your statement gets at an important underlying truth--that problems (some form of evil or simple "badness") ALWAYS, by definition, include some weaknesses. We tend to be impressed and intimidated by evil and "badness", but we forget that they are always fatally flawed because of some underlying false premise.
I think Trump is fundamentally not as intimidated as most people are by evil; probably because he has already seen and overcome so much of it (as a real estate developer in NY dealing with the Mafia (now demised, thanks to Guiliani) and hardcore NY liberals).
So Trump does go straight to recognizing the weaknesses--"opportunities" and exploiting them ruthlessly to bring down evil.
I love it!
Today I could easily see the obvious choice (making PDJT look good), but I think that's more for the brainwashed herd of DementoRats and most of their dumbest politicians and of course all their "journos."
I think the power brokers behind the scenes might be more worried about setbacks to Temu Mao (one of the funniest monikers ever!).
The Klaus Schwab crowd has been counting on the CCP for years to take the USA and all of Western Civilization as we know it down for them. And up until this year the CCP seems to have been succeeding.
They were also counting on machine fraud assistance with the midterms.
It's been a great start to the new year!
And Schwab and his WEF are too stupid to know how lucky they are that Trump is neutering the CCP. They actually thought China would clear the field for them so they would be in charge!!!!! China would smile at them, thank them for their help, and then put them up against a wall and shoot them. As Churchill tried to warn others about Hitler, you might get the crocodile to eat someone else first, but he will eventually circle around and set his sights on you!
How right you are!
I still think we need to kick out every βChinese studentβ out of every college in this country.
We all know they are required to spy on us and this wack-a-mole approach to catch them is both time consuming and costly plus you get a case of espionage in front of some wacky liberal judge and the outcome is in serious doubt.
Same with the Somalis. Send them back. Cost effective and it would free up a lot of houses for Americans to purchase.
Poll choices all great, all true, but gotta pay more protesters wins the day! Trump and team outsmart all malicious actors with speed and awe. Itβs not even fair to compare decent Republicans to Trump, much less feckless Democrats. My heart sings thinking of Obama/Brennan/Comey teamβs daily torture!
I forget to take a little time to enjoy the infuriation PDJT causes our Democrat Communists, thanks for the reminder! And Go Rebs!! π
GO REBS!!!
Nah, paying more protesters is easy when you can use the public treasury.
'Tis true that, but it wins bc it's funny!
Speaking of paying protesters, how close are we to MOABing the money sources?
Trump just clipped the wings of 66 organizations that we have been funding. No doubt much of that money was laundered back to the Dems. Delicious.....
Perhaps dinner with Elon last weekend came with an assignment, or he was more likely giving a report.
You know it was not without significance. Bout time Trump reharnessed that energy.
It never went awayβtheir βbreakupβ was designed to save Elonβs company, and it appears to have worked. Heβs had his DOGE guys working diligently to trace the funding schemes of the democrats. Without their taxpayer funds and foreign donations, they canβt do a thing.
IDK, Dat- I prefer a little less conspiratorial explanation. I think it was an inevitable explosion naturally occurring when two world class megalomaniacs occupy the same space.
I see it as an evolution in their relationship, between a father and a son. I doubt Elon will be as quick to go off on Trump again.
