In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Whenever the possibility presents, throw sand into the machinery…

Truly appreciate you all! This is the very best list of actual news curated by people that hold my values. TYVM!
So, what are the America First priorities? Glad you asked. 1-3
1. PRO AMERICA – Globalists need no apply and/or leave the party
2. PRO BILL OF RIGHTS – This means what it says is what it means. No diluting these rights to get around them. These rights keep the govt off our backs.
3. PRO TERM LIMITS – Public Service means serving the public and then leaving it behind for the private sector.
Actually, I think America First, begins with making ALL Public policy decisions,…ALL based on “What is best for America and Americans?”
Energy dominance?,…good for America and Americans.
Secure borders?ditto.
Economic Security IS National Security, ditto.
Parental rights? Ditto
Using tariffs to reverse the exfiltration of wealth, ‘level the playing field” with mirror tariffs, and bring manufacturing BACK to America? Ditto
Quit stupid, endless wars and deal with countries based on our National interest, understanding they are negotiating based on theirs.
Put America First, in all public policy decisions, and you MAGA, it really is that simple.
Thank you well said, Sir.
Yes, Dutchman, an excellent list of what the America First Movement is all about! I wish this could be spread far and wide so people understand what it is. Also, possibly add that it’s should be Common Sense governance, not Ideology Driven governance.
If it is not good for Main Street it will not be done
Bring God back into the school curriculum. Without God there is No USA .
Eliminate the Department of Education and let the States decide the curriculum.
Yes! To quote “Nefarious Plot”, there isn’t a political solution to a spiritual problem.
Outstanding list. I’d add:
Congress follows all their own laws. Small things like insider trading, family receipt of funds
Every department HQ moved at least 500 miles from Washington DC
It simply goes like this:
“If you do not put [your_country] first, no one else on Earth ever will – after all, why should they? They’re all busy putting [their_country] first!”
Duh.
If you want to know what makes Donald Trump “tick,” go re-read The Art of the Deal. I have it in hardcover. He spells it all out very simply and plainly, and he makes perfect sense.
No emergency exceptions to our freedoms.

I can see the future.
Musk. Like him or not, I have to give him credit. Tries his hand at something new and shakes up the world.
McTurtle threw a slipper at the T.V. on that one…
Lol 😂
It was when she insisted on Ukraine “winning” that I realized what a shallow person she is; those who’ve gone to war usually end up saying nobody wins in war, it’s just a matter of who comes out of it less damaged. She talked like it was a game.
Yes. She definitely made the point that she’d like to see more people die just to claim victory. Majority of the audience clapped for Trump’s response.
“War. Is. Hell.” – Gen. Sherman.
“There’s no such thing as a win-na-ble war. It’s a lie we don’t believe anymore.” – Sting, The Russians.
This will be heard around the world. Great great and honest answer. Vintage PDJT.
Beautiful. Couldn’t give a better answer.
World leaders know that Trump is an honest and forthright man who speaks for himself. They know that they can trust him. Whereas, the Russians wasted many years in what was to them “good faith” negotiations … twice. Only to finally be told what they had already concluded: that the people they were speaking to were deliberately lying through their teeth, stalling for time.
At this point, Russia (for very obvious reasons) is not going to “sit down at the table” and give their opponents more time to re-arm and come back at them again. They are going to matter-of-factly press this military operation to its military conclusion – which is not “to conquer all of Ukraine,” although they could easily do that.
Pres. Trump as always hits the nail on the head. For Ukraine to win, Russia must lose, but before that happens it must escalate into a European Land War the likes we haven’t seen in almost 80 years.
And for Ukraine to lose, Nato will escalate to defeat Russia… and that would result in a Land War the likes we haven’t seen in almost 80 years.
The only way to avoid EVERYONE losing is a settled peace made by someone who has a history of thinking outside of the box — and that’s Pres. Trump.
Then again the folks in CNN defintely won’t have any skin in the game as their children DEFINTELY never joined the military and they’d most certainly dodge any draft as effectively as Pierre “Mittens” Delecto’s father did for him.
EU/USA/NATO does not have the capability to win. They cannot “escalate,” because they would very quickly run out of ammunition and very basic supplies if they tried.
“Conventional war against a first-class industrial enemy” is not like fighting desert tribes. It consumes every kind of resource in prodigious quantities. It requires three fundamental things, none of which EU/USA/NATO now has nor can readily get:
(1) An abundance of trained personnel – not just soldiers.
(2) “Bottomless” domestic industrial production capacity – not just “military.” Rust belts need not apply.
(3) The logistics necessary to get the materials to where they need to go, under hostile conditions.
Wunderwaffen and “tactical nukes” also need not apply. A billion(!)-dollar missile system burns up just as quickly as anything else does.
Russia spent six years in “good faith negotiations” only to finally be told that their counterparts were in “bad faith.” A limited military response was finally what had become appropriate. They’re still toying with Ukraine, using only a tiny fraction of their military power and with great patience.
Loved President Trump’s response. The “moderator” was trying to get President Trump to go against the Government Narrative and he was having none of it.
They were trying to get him to pick a side, or make a statement they could twist to imply he’s a . . . wait for it . . . Russian Agent.
Peace Is The Prize.
Can’t lose with that stance backed by the most credibility any American President has had in generations.
What always get’s me about the whole “Russian Agent” garbage was that as President, Donald Trump almost destroyed BOTH the Economies of Russia and China by making the United States Energy Independent to the point we were a NET Exporter of Energy!
Had the Great Cheat never been hoisted upon us, a continued Trump Administration would have Russia BEGGING Europe for ANY Gas Contracts and China would be BEGGING US for favorable Trade Deals.
And we’d never have ALL the machinations we see from Ukraine and Taiwan, because BOTH China and Russia would be tied up trying to make Ends Meet! But we got Brandon and instead WE’RE the ones trying to make Ends Meet!
Make Love not War!
Just for old time sake.
Great and right answer President Trump.
I remember that slogan from back in 1967. I was still in high school. My, how times have changed.
I hope she ruined her career with that nastiness and disrespect.

IIIIIIIIITT’SSSS…
triad | ˈtrīˌad |
noun
1 a group or set of three connected people or things:
2 a secret society originating in China, typically involved in organized crime.
America has its own homegrown Triad under federal protection.
It’s all coming out now!
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has alleged that the CIA was behind the assassination of his uncle, US President John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1963, and likely involved in the murder of his father, US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, who was shot dead in 1968.
Speaking during an interview with WABC radio host John Catsimatidis on Sunday, Kennedy Jr. said “There is overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in [JFK’s] murder,” describing it as “beyond a reasonable doubt at this point.”
“The evidence is overwhelming that the CIA was involved in the murder, and the coverup,” the candidate continued, describing efforts to discredit this theory as a “60-year coverup.” Kennedy cited the book “JFK and the Unspeakable” by James Douglas as the best compilation of evidence on the subject, though dozens if not hundreds of works have been written about the assassination and the CIA’s alleged role.
The official US government explanation, published as the Warren Commission report the following year, holds that US Marine veteran Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting the president while his motorcade was passing through Dallas on November 22, 1963.
Oswald was famously murdered before he could stand trial, though he managed to tell journalists he was “just a patsy” shortly after his arrest. The alleged lone gunman was shot dead by nightclub owner Jack Ruby (real name Jacob Rubinstein) while being transported from Dallas Police Headquarters to the county jail.
Speaking to Catsimatidis, Kennedy added that there was “very convincing but circumstantial” evidence the CIA was involved in the 1968 assassination of his father, Attorney General and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy. He described the official story of the assassination, which was pinned on Palestinian horse groomer Sirhan Sirhan, as physically impossible, arguing Thane Eugene Cesar, a security guard at the hotel who was concurrently employed by military contractor Lockheed, had actually fired the shots that killed Kennedy.
I can’t help but think the third assasination they never talk about, that was the sketchiest of all, Martin Luther King jr. HAS to have been ordered by the same people.
MLK seems to have been memory holed, other than a monument or statue that looked like a hand holding a pe,…phallus or something.
Seems like Liberals want to forget about King, probably because he was a lifelong Republican, just like they want to pretend like all those Generals monuments they are so eager to tear down, were Democrats.
Actually, it seems to me RFK wasn’t the first, the ground was well softened up beforehand.
This might be why the usurpers don’t want any talking heads talking about it – remember… nuthin’ to see here… and we don’t have to talk about what’s covered up…
{ MLK’s Family Feels Vindicated – CBS News } 12/1999 “… Justice Department Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder says the report is almost complete and could be released within weeks. But Holder says he doubts the report or the Memphis case will lead to any criminal charges….”
((so trustworthy, yes?))
{ MLK Day January 16, 2023: Remember MLK: Memphis, Tenn. Court Decision … } Documents, transcripts, etc…
“… From the King Center on the family’s civil trial that found the US government guilty in Martin’s assassination: …”
I think the memory hole-ing is because the “co-conspiritors” don’t want to be outed. Isn’t that usually the reason for sins of omission?
The uncensored Zapruder film (which shows President Kennedy’s face being obliterated) shows that his head is flung backward by a gunshot that MUST be coming from in front of him.
Oswald was stationed behind and above the President at a window in the book depository.
The full uncensored Zapruder film was not shown on tv at the time.
So much has been written about the ceeeyea involvement and yet still, a Kennedy speaks what has been widely said for years by many is profound news.
What took RFKjr until NOW to jump on bandwagon. Why not shout this long before, defending those saying it, writing about it, researching it?
Why now when moved from “conspiracists” saying it to being informed and cool does he doth speak?
Big deal. A Kennedy speaks what others in past have had their lives destroyed for saying.
Since he is digging into his family history, ask him about Mary Jo? Has he studied that “unfortunate event” and what he thinks about that cover up?
I would not vote for RFK Jr and please we need to stop this silly talk making the rounds in the conservative blogosphere about making him Trump’s running mate. Outside of his opposition to COVID vaccines and the pharmaceutical companies, and leaning pro-Life, he is still a diehard LIBERAL!
That said, we should root for him to make some noise in the Democrat primaries. He’s a common sense liberal, not an ultra-left America hater. If he starts connecting with the Democrat electorate maybe he can instill some bit of sanity to a political party that has completely gone off the rails.
If he can do well in the early races he will panic the party leaders and maybe he gets the rank and file voters to start taking a look at the misdeeds of their own party. It’s Democrat voters that are doing real damage to the country. They keep electing the same corrupt and crooked people who are destroying our nation time and time again. They need to “wake” up! Maybe RFK Jr starts changing the minds of some of these people.
Kennedy tweeted that there is no way he would team up with Trump because they have too many opposing beliefs.
Glad he said that, but I’m sure Trump has never thought, “Hey, I should make that Kennedy guy my running mate,” especially after having already had one traitor as VP!
Put RFK2 in charge of the FDA and NIH. That’ll fix them!
Of course he’s liberal and I don’t expect you to vote for him but it was his uncle JFK and father RFK that were murdered by the United States government and that’s the same people who are going after President Trump.
So why is he?
The RFK “kill shot” went into the back of his head. He turned around and grabbed the necktie of his assassin before he collapsed. Sirhan was a patsy.
I always asked myself why would Jackie O be so enthralled with an aged shipping magnate? I persnonally believe it was for safety of her littles….

‘Heavy Gunfire at U.S.-Mexico border as Biden’s Crisis Explodes’:
https://gellerreport.com/2023/05/heavy-gunfire-at-u-s-mexico-border-as-bidens-crisis-explodes.html/?lctg=39520494
Biden wanted a war at home, now he’s got one. What idiot(s) taunts millions of illegals with a free border crossing, then pulls the rug out from under them just hours before? What were TPTB thinking would happen? What are they hoping happens?
Breitbart reported that it was Mexican Army vs. some Cartel.
The only thing I ever go to Breitbart for is Border Chronicles. Very accurate.
They also had an article about Abbott bussing illegals to sanctuary cities. Recently, there were 360 busloads that went to just 4 cities: DC, Philly, Chicago, and NYC. More taxpayer dollars to destroy our sovereign nation.
Catholic Charities in Texas has been given 40 million recently to aid the destruction.
Yes…very sad that Catholic Charities is enabling any of this.
“Mercy Rule”: CNN Abruptly Cut Trump Town Hall Short by Twenty Minutes
CNN cut short the network’s town hall with President Trump Wednesday night by twenty minutes after Trump, backed by a wildly supportive audience (hand picked by CNN), took control of the forum from anchor Kaitlan Collins right from the start and never let up.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/05/mercy-rule-cnn-abruptly-cut-trump-town-hall-short-by-twenty-minutes/
We unfortunately turned it on after it was underway but I thought there was going to be more time and then they were into the “Analysis” . . . not a good look, CNN! President Trump goes into the lion’s den and it turns out they were scaredy-cats . . . that is really bizarre . . . do they have someone at the top who pulls the plug? Who made the decision? Any comment by Jake Tapper? He has had that worried expression for a long time now.
President Trump said it best, way back when he tweeted: “BULLIES DON’T FIGHT.”
They don’t. They intimidate. But when push comes to shove, they scatter like cockroaches.
They had a plumbing issue and had to stop counting the………sorry wrong event.
Same event, different day.
Gipper, what an excellent reply.
Trump’s CNN appearance was freakin’ brilliant. He was so far ahead of his CNN talking head that the interchange quickly became comical. Bottom line: Trump controlled the entire CNN interview, turning an intended hachet-job into another Trump victory. The progressives don’t have against Trump. GO TRUMP!!!!
‘Absolutely Reckless’: NIH Allows EcoHealth Alliance to Resume Coronavirus Research
The National Institutes of Health this week reinstated a controversial federal grant to EcoHealth Alliance to study the risk of bat coronavirus spillover, sparking criticism from lawmakers and bioweapons experts.
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/nih-ecohealth-alliance-coronavirus-bat-research/
But, Fauxi is supposed to be RETIRED!
When I was watching the Westminster Kennel Club show for 2023 (on youtube), I just love all kinds of dogs but when I see those darling little rugged Beagles, so loyal and smart, I get so mad at that guy, Fauci!
One of my Grandmothers had these plates in her breakfast nook, paintings by Norman Rockwell, four seasons of a boy with his beagle (I still have the plates) . . . just so what we used to call “All American” . . . a boy fishing by the creek, with the dog for company . . . oh, all four . . . to think of that little creep Fauci experimenting on these precious creatures! He is America’s Mengele.
Perhaps the best thing RFK Jr. Has done was write the book about Fauci and pharma.
How Fauci can show his face in public and still work behind the scenes is disgusting. Pure blatant arrogance and not a half step backwards. Let alone a shred of apology. Just more bullying and spite.
The pharma/vaxx/lockdown approach was the most successful tool of totalitarian control ever devised and executed. And it remains in the arsenal for using again with more tweaking.
Anything RFK Jr. Can do to deflate and dismantle this form of brainwashing and enforced spread of poison would be a lasting legacy benefitting mankind.
He is actually the only candidate that has explicitly fought the narrative. And has done the deep research.
Ultimately this is an issue more ominous than anything else. At any time it can be revisited and revived. Bringing everything else in life to a shuttering halt! Not to mention more death and disease from more future vaxx poisoning.
Republicans would have us just move on. I see it every day. It makes me sick.

The No-Agenda Breakdown of the NYC Subway Choke-out

Thanks for clearing that up, we were on pins and needles for a nano-second there . . . wait . . . nope, just gas.
Interesting how Jr. felt compelled to use those CAPS. Wonder what his own “approach to governance” is, but I don’t care enough to look it up on his website.
Yeah-RFK Jr. sort of flatters himself with that comment.
well that will shut some dumbasses up (hopefully; perhaps not)
Really? I’m a dumb ass now? Gotta be able to have a discussion without calling me someone else’s rear end.
Do you not see that RFK Jr is an anvil in the Uniparty machine? Just his running disrupts the Grand Plan. His message helps PDJT as confirmation that the government is corrupt from the left.
They will try to grind him to oblivion. My hope is for him to divide their voters. No longer on an America First ticket but now as a 3rd party.
If voters are offered a Trump vs Kennedy choice, you have two candidates, both claiming the government is corrupt. Do you pick the one who made things better or the one who says he can?
The Lion, PDJT is the only choice.
His main motivation for running was to stop the Faucis of the world from ever doing something like this again.
It was just plain stupid of Roger Stone to think he could be bought off with a VP offer. Why would he want to be the Pence?
Some people are motivated by principles.
Well, it did provoke talk of rfkjr being President Trump’s vp, as in not winning the WH, and being the second fiddle. It started an orchestrated talking point for Double “D’s”(DeSantis Donors) for support for rfkjr as could beat President Trump. All the chatter forced rfkjr to come out and prematurely state this.
“Camelot” isn’t coming back, Bobby …
Just to quell any speculation, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I vote for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“Doncha” know, that after yesterday’s CNN Trump town hall mini-rally, the Doubting-Thomases and Negative-Nellies of the left are screaming about they are losing everything to President Trump and his MAGA/America First movement….. and they are right.
If you are MAGA, you are on the winning side…… if you are not MAGA, sorry charlie.

The more I see of Byron Donalds the more I like him. Donalds and The Donald!
I like it that he’s a black man who can stand on his own two feet as a VP pick. In other words, not just for the optics, as that is playing their game.
Having said that, I just love the optics, don’t you?
Awwww, love 😍 that!
I think we won’t be hearing much from Chris Christie any more either
Just a note to Tucker.
Get Elon to eliminate all the backdoors to twitteeeee bird that the feds and “who-knows-who-else” uses to get access to his data.
Shut and lock the doors and then replace the doors with walls.
Knowing the feds run in background of Twit, as Tucker surely realizes, is he actually signing on to be on their “network”?
Makes you wonder doesnt it. Feels like a trap.
More for us than for Tucker.
Or a set-up (as Digestive Bitters says) to entrap the audience
Yup, that is why I brought it up.
If he plans on a “subscription model” for his funding, the list certainly would be a great target for the feds to hack….. especially if they were just down the digital hallway hiding behind the “green door.”
Tweettteeee bird needs to “shut the door and lock and latch it” to keep the “five eyes” out.
What’s behind the Green door?
“Joe sent me.”
Perhaps we should just have Tucker stand at his back door and make a speech. Twitter has the most access. Stop bitching.
Trump just beat the 💩 out of CNN. They got such a whooping that they had to pull the plug early and cry, “Uncle!”
It was hilarious!

President Trump did an excellent job.
But, there was only one person on that stage wearing an ear piece and it wasn’t President Trump.
So, her fellow coworkers, bosses and her company made her look like an idiot and she is too stupid to realize it. 🙄
Be careful Laura you may get some blood/adrenochrome sucking swamp rat all excited. /s
Exactly. He’s here via the providence of God.
“Good vs Evil”
Is that it? That’s the CNN brain trust? A pants suit wearing ( HRC deciple) 1/4 wit? Up against a genius- she was sent to slaughter plain and simple. IDK, her career is either finished or she’ll be taking over the network- could go either way.
Sounds like CNN thought repeating Megyn Kelly’s abuses from 2016 was the way to go, just with more abuse.
She had no chance from the start. So wrapped up in her bubble of hate and fake narratives she was blinded to the fact she was making President Trump into a hero for the American people.
One has to wonder what CNN was thinking putting this naive girl on stage to try and debate Trump. When he pulled out that paper of tweets and fact checked her on live TV this thing was over for CNN and she became irrelevant and background noise to the rest of the event.
They couldn’t pull the plug on that rally fast enough.
Did you see the look of hate on her face? She may be young, but she’s not naive. She was going for the kill and instead was hoisted with her own petard.
She had 8 weeks to prepare for the Town Hall event. She was probably so wrapped up in her smugness and insulated in her Trump hating bubble that it made her ill-prepared to the task of taking down The Man. Hubris on display.
President Trump should send her a Trumpy Bear to comfort her.

Episode 2104 Scott Adams: Biden Criminal Enterprise Outed, Trump Proves Justice System Isn’t, More
Real Coffee with Scott Adams
10 May 2023
“The other thing RFK Jr has against him is that the pro-vaccination people think he’s a nut and you think to yourself well there’s no way you can right that ship, right? There’s no way you can go from being the one who seems like anti-science against kids vaccination. That’s just too big of a thing.
But you’re wrong because I’ve watched him do it. I watched him actually move that battleship. He actually turned the battleship in real time while I watched. Here’s how he did it. “I never said there’s a definite link between these vaccinations and autism. I said the correlation is super high and that the way they’re tested is insufficient because they didn’t do randomized controlled trials. They did abbreviated trials because they had legal cover to do it. They just didn’t have to do the work so they didn’t. So, I think that they should have to do the work.”
Now what part of that do you disagree with? You think about it. You know, I never really paid much attention to him before when he was talking about childhood vaccinations because I thought he was a nut. Honestly, I just dismissed it because the news told me he was that and that he was being anti-science. So, at the time this is my simple, stupid, earlier me, right?
Now, I’m a little wiser. Now, I know that it’s all made up. Now, I know that pretty much all of our medical data is just made up. But I didn’t know it at the time or I didn’t know the extent of it the time I knew some was, but now that you know it’s all corrupt when you hear the guy who who knew it from the start. He knew it was all corrupt from the start. So, he for me he turned the battleship around like it was a figure skater.
I mean I saw this immovable impossible to change thing, “I’m anti-science because I was anti-vaxx.” How in the world do you change that Battleship when it’s already moving in One Direction and then he said they’re not tested sufficiently and I’m not saying I that I proved a connection I’m saying it’s really really high and if you’re not looking at the correlation you’re not doing your work. You’re not protecting children and suddenly I’m completely on board.”
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.” – Marcia Angell (2009)
“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.” – Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet (2015)
Why Most Published Research Findings Are False
John P. A. Ioannidis – 2005
https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124
There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false. The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field…Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias. In this essay, I discuss the implications of these problems for the conduct and interpretation of research.
MAY 21, 2021
A new replication crisis: Research that is less likely to be true is cited more
https://phys.org/news/2021-05-replication-crisis-true-cited.html
Papers in leading psychology, economic and science journals that fail to replicate and therefore are less likely to be true are often the most cited papers in academic research, according to a new study by the University of California San Diego’s Rady School of Management.
In psychology, only 39 percent of the 100 experiments successfully replicated. In economics, 61 percent of the 18 studies replicated as did 62 percent of the 21 studies published in Nature/Science.
In real science, such articles would be easy pickings for anybody wanting to make a name by destroying such failed research. Then the failed research would fade into oblivion.
I watched cold fusion and that sort of happened, but as it faded from standard disciplines and publications, a whole new world of ‘science’ grew around it. Specialized conferences, specialized journals.

Countries with the highest RFP proportion are Russia, Turkey, China, Egypt, and India (39%-48%), with China, in absolute terms, as the largest contributor of all RFPs (55%).
Yes, today’s “scientists” decide on the solution, then do the research proving their hypothesis.
Somebody didn’t want President Trumps autism commission to happen. They didn’t want it, real bad, and it never happened.
Why would anyone not want us to know what is causing all the autism in America’s children?
I can think of no benign reason.
The American spirit still lives in many of us…………….
Morning Treepers……….be well

Core CPI Stuck at 5.5%-5.7% Range for Fifth Month, Now Higher than Overall CPI, as Used Car Prices Suddenly Spike Again
by Wolf Richter • May 10, 2023
Inflation Whac A Mole. Housing Inflation may be peaking at 8%+, but rents re-accelerated.

The Fed’s Interest Rates Are still Fueling Inflation rather than Dousing it, and People Getting Used to this Inflation
by Wolf Richter • May 11, 2023
Turned upside-down since late 2008 with QE and interest rate repression, it still hasn’t been turned right-side up.

The Fed has now raised its policy rates by 500 basis points in a little over a year, with the top of the range now at 5.25%, and with the Effective Federal Funds Rate at 5.08%. But “core” CPI, which excludes the volatile food and energy components, has gotten stuck at around 5.5% to 5.7% for the fifth month in a row. There wasn’t any progress at all with core CPI in five months. Inflation intensity is simply shifting from one category to another. As inflation temporarily subsides in one category, it resurges in another.
Buenos Dias!! Good Morning. Living our best. Lives. Returned from Cancun to Mérida, Yucatán. Ride a wonderful bus. We witnessed construction of Tren Maya. 120 miles of construction. 150,000 workers. Biggest project in the world at this time. 1000 miles when complete in January 2024!!
Viva Mexico!!!
Judging from the outrage headlines on MSM websites, President Trump’s townhall was a success.
I guess today is the day the Biden administration allows hundreds of thousands of newly minted white supremacists to invade our country.
It probably has been posted. But as good as the president was last night, Byron Donald’s was equal to the task on cnn. About 3 minutes and worth your time if you haven’t seen it. The guy is an up and coming star.

Know someone who is not happy with our govt? How about someone who may have posted pro life statements. Check out the DHS video series program that shows concerned Americans how to spy on these radicals.

Just my personal, warped view; but the last two years could not have happened with elRushbo still on the air.
Not trying to be smart, but 8 years of Obama happened with him on the air.
Point well taken. I quit Rush after Nov 2015 and the Cruz crap. I only turned him back on slightly before his announced lung cancer. Not a fanboy but was thinking the lawless lawfare may have been more in check with the millions “informed” by him though he would have been the likely first target.
He did a lot of damage during his Trump denial phase. His blinders came off but a little late.
As much as I enjoyed Rush and his attempts to educate people. I stopped listening to him when he defended GWB’s weak comebacks when being attacked by the Left. I now understand why. It was political theatre to keep us from recognizing the Uniparty.
He was still in love with “republicans” and still thought the republican = conservative = America First.
Tried watching the run-up to the Town Hall on CNN last night (first time I watched that channel in DECADES) and I lasted less than 30 seconds the way they insult the intelligence of the people who watch that pap.
Tuned in again at showtime and literally laughed out loud several times, learned a lot and was simultaneously entertained.
Then they cut it short and went back to the condescending girlie-men who immediately and nervously proclaimed Trump a liar and that was it, mo more CNN.
Like they say:
Conservatives get mad when they’re lied to.
Leftists get mad when they’re told the truth.
