No comment from Sundance on the bad jobs report.
Not wise for POTUS to now be threatening Cuba when we don’t even have Iran or Ukraine locked down. Noem imploding with grifter Lewandowski.
The Independents aren’t with him, oil surging, bad jobs report, GDPNow estimate dropping.
Still no action on $220 Billion in DOGE-identified waste, fraud, and abuse cuts (22% of goal) via rescission bill.
I know, 4-D chess. Sure.
P.S. Iran now threatening nukes on Tel Aviv.
Some say the axis mundi is the omphalion in Delphi, or that it is Babylon, or that it can be found in Cusco.
None of these are true in 2026.
In 2026, the Axis Mundi is the Straight of Hormuz.
From it flows gold and oil. Oil is money. Oil (transformed by the banking wizards into fiat currency) is (still) the river upon which the central banks float, seeing all, stealing all.
Stop the flow, stop the world. Seize the flow, seize the world.
Welcome to the Breaking of the World.
Welcome to The Break.
Alea iacta est.
Les jeux sont faits.
Did you think the Cabal wouldn’t play all its cards? Nukes, worldwide currency and economic collapse, continued demoralization – this is what they have left.
If POTUS has left the fake elections this long (into the primary season now) – and he has – then there are three possible conclusions
– we will soon be in a world in which midterms don’t matter
Or
– He is going to continue with the fakeness of it all, for his own purposes.
Or
– He is somehow going to pull real elections out of a not yet seen rabbit hat (don’t ask me how)
I guess we will find out which.
What is clear though, is that the bombers launched off the flight deck and are headed for Tokyo. So maybe stop griping about whether there is a cost to be paid, as the world hangs in the balance.
I hear you, but your comment will fall on deaf ears. People actually voted for all of this… and they celebrate it.
Are you nuts? Did you vote for Kamala? Would you rather another four years of Obummer? Do you seriously imagine we could survive that?
This is not some fantasy where you get to make the world whatever you want just because you want it and if you don’t get it handed to you, you fall on the floor and scream.
Anyone who thought they voted for perfect is living in a foolish dream.
That’s the last bridge dweller that crawled into the forum recently 😉
Here’s a newsflash for many:
Most Independents are really Democrats in disguise.
Republicans are not afraid to register as such. But many Democrats feel that the radical left has hijacked their party and don’t want to be associated with it, but will still vote overwhelmingly for the Dems.

Or, we can also just go with a picture is worth 1,000 whiny words.

Both the unemployment rate, at 4.4 percent, and the number of unemployed people, at 7.6 million, changed little in February.
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (4.0 percent), adult women, (4.1 percent), teenagers (14.9 percent)…showed little or no change in February.
Both the labor force participation rate, at 62.0 percent, and the employment-population ratio, at 59.3 percent, changed little in February.
The number of people employed part time for economic reasons decreased by 477,000 to 4.4 million in February. These individuals would have preferred full-time employment but were working part time because their hours had been reduced or they were unable to find full-time jobs.
Employment in health care decreased in February, reflecting strike activity. Employment in information and federal government continued to trend down.
Employment showed little change over the month in other major industries, including mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction; construction; manufacturing; wholesale trade; retail trade; financial activities; professional and business services; leisure and hospitality; and other services.
The actual report is NOT a “bad jobs report”, when one goes beyond the “we hate PDJT” media headlines.

Wut? Go beyond the TBGADS narrative. Shirley you jest…
Cornyn runs 6 minute digital attack ad against Paxton…
‐–
Grok’s response, when asked if accusations are true:
Let’s start running ads with all these Cornyn positions against Trump, Republicans, and Texas:
From his vocal opposition to Trump’s presidential campaigns and defense of the lawfare waged against Donald Trump to his sabotaging of the America First agenda, Cornyn has consistently turned his back on Trump when it mattered most.
Instead of defending Trump against efforts to bankrupt, defeat, and even imprison him, Cornyn attacked him and justified the actions of the radicals engaging in politically-motivated lawfare:
• When asked about the indictment and charges against President Trump in special counsel Jack Smith’s document retention case, Cornyn forcefully chastised Trump and blamed Trump for the lawfare, stating, “He’s created a circumstance for himself, which is I think very, very serious.”
• He added, “This one is basically something that he’s admitted to on the material facts, and we’ll have to see what the judge and jury does… this is out of the hands of politics now. It’s up to the courts to make the decision.”
• Cornyn condemned House Republicans for investigating Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s lawfare against Trump, stating, “I would hope they would stick to the agenda they ran on when they got elected to the majority.”
• Cornyn reacted to the verdict in the E. Jean Carroll case by trying to undermine Trump electorally, saying,“The fact is, I do not think he could win the presidency.”
Cornyn Opposed Donald Trump’s Presidential Campaigns and Worked to Undermine His Political Career
Cornyn tried to stop Trump from winning the GOP nominations in 2024 and 2016 – elections when Trump was not currently in office and held little leverage over lawmakers.
• In May 2023, Cornyn said Republicans “need someone as an alternative” to Trump, he couldn’t win a general election, and that his “time had passed him by.”
• When asked about calling for the GOP to move on from Trump in 2024, Cornyn defended his remarks by saying, “In politics, unless you can win an election you’re pretty much irrelevant… I have concerns about the President’s ability to win in November.”
• In December 2022, he said, “I think [Trump is] less relevant all the time. Again, even if you capture all of the Trump voters, you may be able to win a primary but you’re not necessarily going to win a general election.”
• In February 2016, Cornyn said he was concerned Trump would be an “albatross” for down-ballot races and that “I think [Trump] certainly is a controversial figure. I think we need someone who can unify the party, as opposed to divide the party.
• As he did for Trump, Cornyn now attacks Ken Paxton as an “albatross” who cannot win a general election.
In several key moments before and after the 2020 election when Trump was president, Cornyn betrayed him.
• In December 2020, John Cornyn criticized Attorney General Paxton for leading a challenge against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin’s election results, which Paxton argued were rigged due to unconstitutional and unlawful last-minute changes. Cornyn said, “I frankly struggle to understand the legal theory of it.”
• In November 2020, Cornyn stated Biden would likely be inaugurated and condemned President Trump for taking action that he said added “to the confusion and the chaos.”
• Instead of defending Trump, Cornyn called the impeachment vote against him a “vote of conscience.”
• In October 2020, Cornyn said President Trump “let his guard down,” caused “confusion,” and “got out over his skis” on the coronavirus pandemic, creating a negative national story just weeks before the election.
• Cornyn also called Trump nemesis Anthony Fauci a “national treasure” on video.
Cornyn Worked Against President Trump’s Agenda and Conservative Priorities
The four-term Senator has consistently been one of Trump’s greatest critics when it comes to securing the border and building the border wall.
• John Cornyn slammed the idea of Trump’s border wall as “naïve,” stating, “[t]his idea that all you can do is build some obstacle and people won’t go come over it, or go under it, or go through it is naive.”
• Cornyn said that, “A new, giant wall between the United States and Mexico from sea to shining sea makes no sense whatsoever,” that President Trump’s border wall would rate “very low” among Texans, and that “I don’t think we’re just going to be able to solve border security with a physical barrier because people can come under, around it and through it.”
• When asked if he thought Donald Trump understood the border issue, Cornyn said, “[t]hat’s certainly not my sense.”
Cornyn sided with President Joe Biden and the radical left instead of Trump to pass the largest gun control package in decades.
• Despite Trump saying that the bill “will go down in history as the first step in the movement to TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY,” Cornyn still led the charge to pass it.
• Biden called the bill the “most significant gun legislation in nearly 30 years” and specifically praised Cornyn as one of two GOP Senators who deserved credit for it.
• Cornyn implied he wanted to go even further in future gun control legislation, calling the bill a “good start” and saying the agreement was reached because he “found space for compromise.”
• He also admitted to just following Biden’s directions, saying, “President Biden said do something, and what we knew we had to do is something that would actually pass.” Cornyn also dismissed NRA opposition to the gun control bill, saying they can’t “veto good public policy.”
Cornyn’s long record of undermining Trump and the conservative agenda is coming into focus as the eyes of the nation look to Texas for the runoff. As Cornyn’s critics blast him for betraying Trump whenever he deems it politically advantageous, as well as betraying Texas voters on the issues they care about most – including border security and the Second Amendment – more about Cornyn’s record is likely to come to light.
The runoff is May 26.
A major hat tip to your attentive assessment.
So while I expect few to see an addition, or take note, nonetheless add a note:
Cornyn routinely votes to raise the debt ceiling, and in particular in March of 2025, voted against codifying the DOGE budget cuts. Just about any quick analysis of this sell-out’s behavior turns up odious action. His stench is overwelming.
Were I a Texan, any endorsement – Trump or otherwise – is irrelevant. It is not in my DNA to vote for someone who has spent 24 years stabbing me in the back.
