How amazing is it that a business man and Wharton graduate set our country on a path to prosperity, but the money grubbing politicians and imbecilic voters have chosen to erase every financial benefit and utterly despise the man who did all that? "What a country" has been replaced by "What a shitshow.." We must have Trump back in the White House.
And that should beg the question: If those who opposed Trump’s efforts to buoy the US economy, (note how many supposed conservative Republicans were/are on that bandwagon!), never were truly interested in elevating the economic power of the US, then what is it they’ve actually been interested in?! Quite revealing. Certainly not America First.
Has anyone been noticing all the retirements from Congress? A recent article stated about half or more of the Democrats are retiring to seek higher office. However, most of the Republicans are just hanging it up and going home. Some of them cite the fact that things have changed for the worse. They say they are tired of the in-fighting. BoooHooo
To this I say, then you were never cut out for politics because this country was founded on a fighting spirit to do things right. It was not founded on back-slappers and good 'ole boys having a two martini lunch and crafting policy that keeps both parties happy. To these RINO jerks I say GO HOME LOSERS.
It's an opportunity to primary them and put a MAGA in their place.
Don't forget EVERY ONE of Trump's Administration, in the past, and in the future, has to get through the Political Gate in the Senate. Without a revolution in the Senate, they will hamstring him again. And 100% of the Bureaucrats will be throwing sand and boulders into the gears.
With 45 votes in, I’m trailing the field with my horse “June is Bride’s Month”. But my money’s on it! It’s sheer genius and something I could never have thought of. I got out at E-4. Surb, you sir are a field general, thinking three moved ahead.
Name calling belongs in the pig sty, and then it just irritates the pig. Taking back June for the good guys & gals, not from the troubled souls that paraded, but from Barack & his fellow Marxists behind the curtain, is a kill shot.

But I agree with Trump, who said, “China had a crash yesterday in their stock market. You know why? Because I won Iowa.”
A perfect example of the distinction I make between great megalomaniacs and wannabes. He stood down NY union bosses. He’s kicking China’s ass from exile.
It's time to fight back. Reversing the tide by tagging the LGBTXYZQ group as perverts offers several advantages.
First, people may wake up to the fact, as recent headlines support, that this group sexually abuses children for sport and pleasure. Without small children to groom, they only have their mirror to look at.
Second, it may help to minimize the protests they use (and used by the deep state) to cause street violence, confuse issues, distract society, and make them look more influential than they are.
Third, it may assist with a return to traditional family values since the classic values won't be drowned out almost daily with the painted-face evil the sick groups promote.
If someone wants to live as any of the letters in LGBTQ+, this country and Constitution allows them to do so. It DOESN'T allow them to take over society with outward destructive demands and behavior. DO IT IN PERVERT PRIVACY!
Yes, they are related. DIE is just institutionalized perversion toward society and especially children. The left loves to babble about institutional racism because the concept infers it will never be fixed. They have a permanent issue to complain about. DIE is just institutionalizing perversion in the same way.
There is a lot more to China's decline than just tariffs, although those tariffs play a part. China is burdend by a shrinking, top-heavy population and a generation capable of reproduction that no longer wants to reproduce. Sound familiar? After generations of propaganda, as well as actual governmental proscription against reproduction, China is now only producing about 1.6 children per woman, less than the required replacement rate of 2.3, even though all restrictions against child bearing have been removed and incentives have replaced them. China's economic system is heavily dependent on its real estate market, which is a chimera, a government created and sponsored Ponzi scheme in which about a quarter of all residential properties are vacant. And for good reason. Google "tofu dreg." Chinese workers are no longer quite as willing to toil for long hours at low pay, and many young Chinese see no point in even trying. Google "lying flat." None of this is to say that China poses no threat; to the contrary, the internal turmoil is more than likely to lead to aggressive moves toward actual conflict in order to galvanize support for the government with appeals to "patriotism." Again, sound familiar? The fact that there are millions of "surplus men," created by years of selective abortions of female babies created a huge surplus of disposable potential warriors. Because China so closely monitors and heavily controls its internal and external communications, we here in America seldom see the truth. Of course, the fact that many here in America and The West in general are nothing more than apologists for totalitarian governments adds to our problems. Many of them are currently sporting about in Davos. We who know the truth must remain vigilant to guard our position and do all that is required of us to protect ourselves and our posterity. That includes voting, but is not limited to voting. Donald Trump is our best available option, but he is not our savior. We have only one Savior, and He already came; it is our responsibility to recognize Him and do as He told us. Deus vult!
Steve, thanks for the insight into Red China's rotten core. As was seen in the old Soviet Union, communism is a failed economic system and wholly unsustainable despite authoritarian rule. The only reason China has done somewhat well is that it adopted some Western business practices and allowed some entrepreneurs to gain wealth. But half measures generally, in the long run, lead to disappointing results. It took 70+ years for the Soviet Union to finally collapse. Coincidentally, Red China has existed about the same amount time. I think their run will outlast the USSR, but it too will meet its demise, in my opinion.
Love it. Deus vult negates every policy, rule, law, or other scheme any of us can come up with. I have a coffee mug with this on it from Sarah Cain's podcasts.
I find it amusing that China, who’ve been pinching Western technology for years particularly military software, are now finding out that much of whats been stolen is seeded with self destruct code when used against the west.
The inflection point for China prosperity was the takeover of Hong Kong. Before that, Western investors figured China understood capitalism and respected ownership. Since Hong Kong, capital is fleeing. When there is no certainty you can get your money out, you don't send any in.
China still has to import food. Absent trade for finished goods, Chinese starve. The first to go will be those furthest from domestic agriculture along the coasts.
I'm certain the state will take from the midlands to bring food to the coasts. But you are correct, they have a serious food issue, which is why they won't be moving against Taiwan. The embargo on selling food stuffs to them would be significant.
I wonder what Trump's strategy is for dealing with the "resistance" after his re-election? I don't fault him for not foreseeing the all out war from the left and from public employee union members (which must be eliminated if the swamp is ever to be drained). But he knows what to expect now. How does he plan to deal with it?
I read not long ago that his transition team has been making lists -- of whom to fire, and what to abolish right away -- which is what they should be doing to avoid a repeat of the earlier, massive obstruction by the Swamp creatures. And I hope it's a very, very long list. As far as the public employee unions are concerned, that's more of a state-level problem, though it's a bad one for sure.
Couldn't agree more. Abolish the FBI, which has a sordid history of abuse going back to the 1930s. And cut off the head of the DOJ. Plus its neck. Plus its shoulders. And while you're at it ...
You are right. This can’t be business as usual. We are fighting against a coup. My fear is all of it will setup the left’s scenario of dictatorship, fascism. Nazism, etc. they’ve already cast the mold for him to walk into. The transition needs to be re-invented, but steer wide and clear of appearing brutal.
There are some good concepts to be copied in the story of the development of the first nuclear submarine, USS Natilus, and the tactics that Cpt. Hyman G. Rickover had to adopt in order to get it built.
I agree. I was just wondering how he would deal with Resistance 2.0 since he didn't seem prepared for Round 1. Guess I wondered what ya'll thought he should do. There are some good ideas outside government. Maybe he ought to assign some folks to keep an eye on Ole Don and see if he or folks here come up with any good ideas?
I believe there are two major federal employee unions. I also believe they are large in number and paid far beyond their abilities which leaves them a lot of extra cash to donate to the people who gave them their jobs for life. I can't believe Washington, Adams, Jefferson and the folks who put our experiment in writing ever imagined public employee unions, at any level, but certainly at the federal level.
I bet the number of government employees fired for incompetency is pretty close to zero. This is likely just as true of public employee unions at the state level, but the only damage they can do is to the state that allows them. Federal employee unions damage the whole country.
Remember the air traffic controllers union....when Reagan was president. FAFO
Not hoping for that, just speculating and hoping that he has a better plan than he did in 2016. I don't fault him too much because no one in their right mind would have done what the resistance did during his last term. He knows now. I suspect he won't be as trusting and perhaps a bit overconfident.
I know a lot of people who could have warned him about Barr. Dr. Atlas was a good pick. I didn't realize our system of public health had no expertise beyond political hackery. I wonder how many of his cabinet and close advisors told him Fauci was a dishonest, corrupt swamp monster. He doesn't just need a good plan to deal with the resistance. He needs better help....or perhaps he just needs to listen to them?
I don't think he needs to telegraph anything. He just needs to do a much better job dealing with the real domestic terrorists.
I believe you are right. I notice is it only lib places like MSNBC and Microsoft who are telecasting what they "think" trump will do. He did not get where he his by showing his cards. Today, he is with Melania at her mother's funeral.
I can count the number of times Trump has clearly been wrong on one hand. I can't count high enough to account for the times he's been right but declared wrong by the screeching harpies of the left. Nobody is perfect, but I have no doubt Trump loves our country and seeks what is best for it. Biden always seeks what is worst. Nobody can be wrong 99.5% of the time like he is by accident.
Let's not go there. Although...the administration does have one known skirt hiding testicles, and dismissed a bald one with lipstick who ran into trouble at an airline luggage carousel.
I promise you Trump knows damn good and well the shit big pharma pulled on him (and the world) in 2020. How could he not know in retrospect? My hopes is he is remaining silent on the issue because talking about what he plans to do about it would not be productive.
The truth is Big Pharma already had a grudge on him for aggressively negotiating drug prices with the buying power of the US public sector. Another of the big institutions that permanently damaged themselves due to TDS.
Commendations are in order for you, Don, for another excellent article. Today is war day 104. May I suggest that what is happening now is a realignment, which goes so much slower than a wave. This phrase was suggested by kellyanne Conway. Another thing that goes slowly are the wheels of justice. Someone somewhere said the wheels of justice turn very slowly, but they grind very very fine. Things are happening, but we are like Elizabeth Taylor standing in front of the microwave and telling it to hurry up. That's a Joan Rivers joke. We're impatient for God's justice to be done quickly. The souls under the altar cried out to God How long is this going to take? And God responded be patient.
That’s why I never set foot in Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, or Dollar General and I rarely buy tools from Rural King or Tractor Supply. Their supply chains are almost exclusively China made, except for foodstuffs.
Chairman Xi is about to unleash a new and "improved" WuFlu on the world. Its reported that the WuHan lab is working on a GX variant of the WuFlu which is "100% fatal to humanized mice" in the lab. This is the "Disease X" that WHO and WEF have warned us about. Just in time to cause another pandemic panic to disrupt the general election. Thats the back up plan in case the Left's lawfare against Trump fails to stop him and their Lee Harvey Oswald/Sirhan Sirhan fails to appear on the scene.
Borders - North & South, are wide open. Risk is, Texas'll bus’em to a lot of Blue City’s straight from the border - kind of a Fast Spread early warning defense. (Maybe like that ‘unknown person at Reagan airport yesterday that had Measles??). Biden better let Texas be, and work with the Canucks.
I can tell you the northern border is pretty well shut. What is happening is that illegal migrants are flying in from the U.S. and elsewhere and claiming asylum. They are also coming in on planes on 6-month visas and when their visas expire they are claiming asylum/refugee status. And guess where they are flying into up north -- Montreal. Quebec is taking in the most illegal migrants/visa applicants, who want to never leave, in all of Canada. Keep in mind that the schools and social services and free health care are already overwhelmed. Plus, we have to integrate the ones who don't go to Toronto into the French language. It's a nightmare. No one wants what is happening to irreversibly change North America's only French-speaking society. However, we do get a lot of French-speaking Muslims. What is happening here is only on a small scale compared to what is happening in the U.S.
Most Americans in my view are not capable of thinking critically. And are especially triggered by DJT and MAGA successes. And there are a lot of successes. What has FJB accomplished? Hyperinflation, shortages of all kinds, prosecuting trespassers as hardened felons, persecuting parents at school board meetings, trying to jail his political opponent, allowing approximately 10 million illegal aliens (and possibly terrorists) to enter our country and more destructive policies.
Red China is on the downward cycle in economic terms, isolating them further will push them against the wall and we need a tough leader to handle what comes next.
And I clicked on the wrong item in the poll. Happy Thursday!
"As president, he slapped Chairman Xi’s dictatorship and his slave-driven economy with tariffs and a new trade agreement with Mexico. The story begrudgingly acknowledges President Trump’s role."
Yes, thank you, President Trump.
Unfortunately, the deep state had been advancing gain-of-function research to weaponize an otherwise benign virus that Communist China could unleash on the rest of the world giving the left in the US cover to tamper with elections to execute a coup d'état and install a meat puppet as president for 0bama's third term.
Kevin Williamson thinks, reasons, speaks, and clearly writes like a man with a paper bag over his head.
"Suddenly, the left is concerned about taxes."
Who says sarcasm can't be conveyed in writing?
Y'know, preserving the rights of these leftist institutions that are the foundation of the Donor Class in this country is no longer a priority of any value to me, and I couldn't really care less what the fallout or downstream effects may or may not be.
I would love to see a cooperative senate and HoR enact legislation that all but destroys the non-profit sector - force every single non-profit to draw down to $0.00 its principle annually and require reporting to an office of the US Treasury so onerous that each organization ala The Carnegie Foundation for International Peace determines that continuing as a going concern is simply not worth it.
"A million Americans died with covid (1 in 328) but we never learned how many died from covid."
...and we never will. That is one state secret that will be kept because you can bet it was never recorded.
"But I agree with Trump, who said, 'China had a crash yesterday in their stock market. You know why? Because I won Iowa.'"
Can you imagine what China's stock market will suffer with a Trump election?
"The less we rely on Red China, the freer we are."
My preference would be a return to isolationism - but even if that were to occur, I'd STILL want Texas to reclaim its independence as a sovereign nation - The Republic of Texas.
I'm all for calling a spade, a spade. Let's be radically and ruthlessly honest and call LGBTQRSTUV*&%! what they are - perverts, deviants, and any/every other accurate pejorative.
Tariffs are an imperfect diplomatic tool. They exist because most diplomats ……..“aren’t”. Tariffs, the imperfect tool, sometimes keep us out of shooting wars though. When Trump was president, a lot of our diplomacy was handled by him in a blunt straightforward way. No sense talking in nuanced language or beating around the bush with tyrants and dictators. They see it as weakness. One could argue though that decades of tariffs and economic isolation did little to bring Cuba around. But it did keep other countries from using Cuba as a military base in any meaningful way. When Trump met with the little fat guy from NoKo it was earthshaking because for the first time in years we practiced in person talks between the US and NoKo leaders instead of just using “diplomacy by sanction or tariff” and calling the the dictator names. Trump “gets it”. When he talked bluntly to Putin it sent a clear, non-confused message to Russia. It worked for four years. I have always wondered why presidents jump to impose sanctions and tariffs without face to face straightalk first. Its clear to me that a certain segment of society does not want to bring NoKo or Russia closer. They need a boogeyman and Putin and Kim are perfect foils. I’ll take Mr Trumps way of communicating over Biden's any day. With our weakened economy and staggering debt, sooner or later we are going to need new markets for our goods and both countries are prime for that purpose.
I was refreshing to see a president take a proactive position with our old adversary's and try to meet them half way instead of continuing the mindless and lazy diplomatic “we good, you bad” diplomacy of his predecessors. Trump has no illusions of either two countries suddenly becoming our friends, he sees them as opportunities. Diplomats and politicians are in the business for careers, Trump is in the business to fix things.
How amazing is it that a business man and Wharton graduate set our country on a path to prosperity, but the money grubbing politicians and imbecilic voters have chosen to erase every financial benefit and utterly despise the man who did all that? "What a country" has been replaced by "What a shitshow.." We must have Trump back in the White House.
And that should beg the question: If those who opposed Trump’s efforts to buoy the US economy, (note how many supposed conservative Republicans were/are on that bandwagon!), never were truly interested in elevating the economic power of the US, then what is it they’ve actually been interested in?! Quite revealing. Certainly not America First.
Has anyone been noticing all the retirements from Congress? A recent article stated about half or more of the Democrats are retiring to seek higher office. However, most of the Republicans are just hanging it up and going home. Some of them cite the fact that things have changed for the worse. They say they are tired of the in-fighting. BoooHooo
To this I say, then you were never cut out for politics because this country was founded on a fighting spirit to do things right. It was not founded on back-slappers and good 'ole boys having a two martini lunch and crafting policy that keeps both parties happy. To these RINO jerks I say GO HOME LOSERS.
It's an opportunity to primary them and put a MAGA in their place.
Wish McConnell would take retirement especially before he pushes that stupid a** border bill though.
prophets have called for his soon removal.. God is not happy with "mitch the B**tch" (my nickname for him)
He is more interested in keeping his wife happy, usually a good thing. But his wife's family is CCP.
HEAR, HEAR!!
Spot on Shrugged.
Good riddance!
Don't forget EVERY ONE of Trump's Administration, in the past, and in the future, has to get through the Political Gate in the Senate. Without a revolution in the Senate, they will hamstring him again. And 100% of the Bureaucrats will be throwing sand and boulders into the gears.
You are right, Kam. If we win the senate, McConnell will be as bad as the dems. for stopping Trumps picks.
With 45 votes in, I’m trailing the field with my horse “June is Bride’s Month”. But my money’s on it! It’s sheer genius and something I could never have thought of. I got out at E-4. Surb, you sir are a field general, thinking three moved ahead.

I'd like to see Republicans during the election months use a tag such as: "American citizens...Please put the Biden crime family out of business."
I voted to end DIE, as it would take care of the LGBxyz problem at the same time. “Intersectionality”, don’tcha know!
It is easy to spell DEI DIE because we all want it to DIE!!!
That was my vote.
Yes, they are related. DIE is just institutionalized perversion toward society and especially children. The left loves to babble about institutional racism because the concept infers it will never be fixed. They have a permanent issue to complain about.

Just like the first to go here would be the coastal liberals who can’t even change a light bulb.
The Chinese have been buying US farmland and food processing plants for a long time Now you know why.....
That practice should be banned.
I'm certain the state will take from the midlands to bring food to the coasts. But you are correct, they have a serious food issue, which is why they won't be moving against Taiwan. The embargo on selling food stuffs to them would be significant.

Job 1 the FBI and DOJ. They neutered him badly in his first term....
Couldn't agree more. Abolish the FBI, which has a sordid history of abuse going back to the 1930s. And cut off the head of the DOJ. Plus its neck. Plus its shoulders. And while you're at it ...
Circumcision...
From head to rectum Rev.
We may need to rethink the term “transition team”.
Quite so, and screen ruthlessly for Swamp creatures eager to help out.
You are right. This can’t be business as usual. We are fighting against a coup. My fear is all of it will setup the left’s scenario of dictatorship, fascism. Nazism, etc. they’ve already cast the mold for him to walk into. The transition needs to be re-invented, but steer wide and clear of appearing brutal.
HaHa!
👍👍👍
I like the Javier Milei method.
Where's my chain saw?!
…or it could be a short list with just one entry:
Fire Everyone.
There are some good concepts to be copied in the story of the development of the first nuclear submarine, USS Natilus, and the tactics that Cpt. Hyman G. Rickover had to adopt in order to get it built.
A great leader doesn't tell you battle plans in advance.
I agree. I was just wondering how he would deal with Resistance 2.0 since he didn't seem prepared for Round 1. Guess I wondered what ya'll thought he should do. There are some good ideas outside government. Maybe he ought to assign some folks to keep an eye on Ole Don and see if he or folks here come up with any good ideas?

I feel PDJT and his closies are heads up and ready for all out purging this time around.Maybe time for calculated reprisals ala triage centers.
"not" at the federal level.
Sorry.....don't know how to edit, but I ain't too old to learn.
One step at a time. Trump is not likely to publicly telegraph that yet.
Not hoping for that, just speculating and hoping that he has a better plan than he did in 2016. I don't fault him too much because no one in their right mind would have done what the resistance did during his last term. He knows now.

I don't think he needs to telegraph anything. He just needs to do a much better job dealing with the real domestic terrorists.
He needs Flynn and Grennell to start with and build from there.
Two excellent choices.
I believe you are right. I notice is it only lib places like MSNBC and Microsoft who are telecasting what they "think" trump will do. He did not get where he his by showing his cards. Today, he is with Melania at her mother's funeral.
Do the import numbers from Mexico include all of the people pouring in over the border, or just goods? Asking for a friend.
Good one, Mr. L!
I can count the number of times Trump has clearly been wrong on one hand. I can't count high enough to account for the times he's been right but declared wrong by the screeching harpies of the left. Nobody is perfect, but I have no doubt Trump loves our country and seeks what is best for it. Biden always seeks what is worst. Nobody can be wrong 99.5% of the time like he is by accident.
Can you imagine the bill for fumigation in the White House after the asshole gets voted out of office?
with Bidenomics, it will be much higher after Obama.. *wink* couldn't help the pun
Worse than the Lewinsky-Clinton Oval Office decontamination project?!
Let's not go there. Although...the administration does have one known skirt hiding testicles, and dismissed a bald one with lipstick who ran into trouble at an airline luggage carousel.
I can't remember any time that Trump was wrong. (recently)
The cat raised the bar today.
Thank you Donald Trump.
Agreed. Don must have cut off its catnip.
I promise you Trump knows damn good and well the shit big pharma pulled on him (and the world) in 2020. How could he not know in retrospect? My hopes is he is remaining silent on the issue because talking about what he plans to do about it would not be productive.

Things are happening, but we are like Elizabeth Taylor standing in front of the microwave and telling it to hurry up. That's a Joan Rivers joke. We're impatient for God's justice to be done quickly. The souls under the altar cried out to God How long is this going to take? And God responded be patient.
The Chinese sell us junk. We can live without junk.
That’s why I never set foot in Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, or Dollar General and I rarely buy tools from Rural King or Tractor Supply. Their supply chains are almost exclusively China made, except for foodstuffs.
Better add Lowes and Home Depot as well as Amazon to that list.
Amazon especially! You may as well be shopping in China!!
Chairman Xi is about to unleash a new and "improved" WuFlu on the world. Its reported that the WuHan lab is working on a GX variant of the WuFlu which is "100% fatal to humanized mice" in the lab. This is the "Disease X" that WHO and WEF have warned us about. Just in time to cause another pandemic panic to disrupt the general election. Thats the back up plan in case the Left's lawfare against Trump fails to stop him and their Lee Harvey Oswald/Sirhan Sirhan fails to appear on the scene.
Bring it on.. God wins.. they can shove their "X".
Listening to the current prophets, they are doomed, even this clown in the WEF is warning of their demise..
GOD WINS.. PERIOD
even if I fall.. I win.. this place isn't much fun anymore
We only kneel to God. Keep up the fight.
Borders - North & South, are wide open. Risk is, Texas'll bus’em to a lot of Blue City’s straight from the border - kind of a Fast Spread early warning defense. (Maybe like that ‘unknown person at Reagan airport yesterday that had Measles??). Biden better let Texas be, and work with the Canucks.
I can tell you the northern border is pretty well shut. What is happening is that illegal migrants are flying in from the U.S. and elsewhere and claiming asylum. They are also coming in on planes on 6-month visas and when their visas expire they are claiming asylum/refugee status. And guess where they are flying into up north -- Montreal. Quebec is taking in the most illegal migrants/visa applicants, who want to never leave, in all of Canada. Keep in mind that the schools and social services and free health care are already overwhelmed. Plus, we have to integrate the ones who don't go to Toronto into the French language. It's a nightmare. No one wants what is happening to irreversibly change North America's only French-speaking society. However, we do get a lot of French-speaking Muslims. What is happening here is only on a small scale compared to what is happening in the U.S.
The death delay is 8 days. Enough to make it spread from what I can discern. Unlike Eboli which shows enough symptoms that it stays very localized.
Most Americans in my view are not capable of thinking critically. And are especially triggered by DJT and MAGA successes. And there are a lot of successes. What has FJB accomplished? Hyperinflation, shortages of all kinds, prosecuting trespassers as hardened felons, persecuting parents at school board meetings, trying to jail his political opponent, allowing approximately 10 million illegal aliens (and possibly terrorists) to enter our country and more destructive policies.
Red China is on the downward cycle in economic terms, isolating them further will push them against the wall and we need a tough leader to handle what comes next.
And I clicked on the wrong item in the poll. Happy Thursday!
Xiden’s accomplishments are as a world class destroyer.
There are no wrong items in the poll, only less better ones.
"As president, he slapped Chairman Xi’s dictatorship and his slave-driven economy with tariffs and a new trade agreement with Mexico. The story begrudgingly acknowledges President Trump’s role."
Yes, thank you, President Trump.
Unfortunately, the deep state had been advancing gain-of-function research to weaponize an otherwise benign virus that Communist China could unleash on the rest of the world giving the left in the US cover to tamper with elections to execute a coup d'état and install a meat puppet as president for 0bama's third term.
Kevin Williamson thinks, reasons, speaks, and clearly writes like a man with a paper bag over his head.
"Suddenly, the left is concerned about taxes."
Who says sarcasm can't be conveyed in writing?
Y'know, preserving the rights of these leftist institutions that are the foundation of the Donor Class in this country is no longer a priority of any value to me, and I couldn't really care less what the fallout or downstream effects may or may not be.
I would love to see a cooperative senate and HoR enact legislation that all but destroys the non-profit sector - force every single non-profit to draw down to $0.00 its principle annually and require reporting to an office of the US Treasury so onerous that each organization ala The Carnegie Foundation for International Peace determines that continuing as a going concern is simply not worth it.
"A million Americans died with covid (1 in 328) but we never learned how many died from covid."
...and we never will. That is one state secret that will be kept because you can bet it was never recorded.
"But I agree with Trump, who said, 'China had a crash yesterday in their stock market. You know why? Because I won Iowa.'"
Can you imagine what China's stock market will suffer with a Trump election?
"The less we rely on Red China, the freer we are."
My preference would be a return to isolationism - but even if that were to occur, I'd STILL want Texas to reclaim its independence as a sovereign nation - The Republic of Texas.
I'm all for calling a spade, a spade. Let's be radically and ruthlessly honest and call LGBTQRSTUV*&%! what they are - perverts, deviants, and any/every other accurate pejorative.
There will be a world wide meltdown of the WEF crowd when PDJT is re-elected.
That would be an excellent start!
Tariffs are an imperfect diplomatic tool. They exist because most diplomats ……..“aren’t”. Tariffs, the imperfect tool, sometimes keep us out of shooting wars though. When Trump was president, a lot of our diplomacy was handled by him in a blunt straightforward way. No sense talking in nuanced language or beating around the bush with tyrants and dictators. They see it as weakness. One could argue though that decades of tariffs and economic isolation did little to bring Cuba around. But it did keep other countries from using Cuba as a military base in any meaningful way. When Trump met with the little fat guy from NoKo it was earthshaking because for the first time in years we practiced in person talks between the US and NoKo leaders instead of just using “diplomacy by sanction or tariff” and calling the the dictator names. Trump “gets it”. When he talked bluntly to Putin it sent a clear, non-confused message to Russia. It worked for four years. I have always wondered why presidents jump to impose sanctions and tariffs without face to face straightalk first. Its clear to me that a certain segment of society does not want to bring NoKo or Russia closer. They need a boogeyman and Putin and Kim are perfect foils. I’ll take Mr Trumps way of communicating over Biden's any day. With our weakened economy and staggering debt, sooner or later we are going to need new markets for our goods and both countries are prime for that purpose.
tariffs are a starting point to say "whoa".. then you can talk as to "what's up" gets their attention
and gets a conversation started
With Kim and Putin, Trump practiced the old adage, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer..."
...a different version of "read my lips"...
I was refreshing to see a president take a proactive position with our old adversary's and try to meet them half way instead of continuing the mindless and lazy diplomatic “we good, you bad” diplomacy of his predecessors. Trump has no illusions of either two countries suddenly becoming our friends, he sees them as opportunities. Diplomats and politicians are in the business for careers, Trump is in the business to fix things.
