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 Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Isn’t it time for President Trump, JD Vance, Mike Waltz, Marco Rubio and Tulsi to tell Americans the truth about Ukraine…
A: The three Eastern Provinces of Donetsk, Kerson and Lugansk are Russian speaking and broke away from Ukraine in 2014 and formed their own government.
B: The CIA and Victoria Nuland funded the violent overthrow of the President of Ukraine in 2014 because he allowed Ukraine to be neutral.
C: The UN monitored elections in the Eastern Provinces who voted to break away from Ukraine.
D: The region that the Russian Army entered haven’t been part of Ukraine since 2014.
E: The CIA and DIA top secret documents leaked by Massachusetts Air National Guardsmen Tiexiera revealed that Ukraine was losing troops at an 8-1 ratio versus Russia!
Why are they dancing on the head of a pin and going along with the false narrative that Ukraine is the victim???
Zelensky was acting in bad faith – that means to me, no rewritten deal not even for more for us because any agreement with Zelensky is worthless – more radioactive than Chernobyl.
PM Starmer was acting in bad faith – so ANY deal that he has ANYTHING to do with should be radioactive and be setting off the dosimeters!
Anyone promoting either of these people’s ideas about Ukraine needs to be looked at the same way – useless, faithless and again – radioactive!
Absolutely correct. I am certain that is how Putin will view any future negotiations with Zelensky as well.
Zelensky and his supporting cast have made clear that they will abrogate any agreement if they see an advantage for the violations.
And Trump has exposed which Europeans are worse than worthless as partners.
Keir Starmer needs a beef with a foreign enemy as a means of distraction for the British people so that they won’t concentrate on the miserable mess the political class has made of UK domestic affairs.
If Ukraine does not prevail in its war with Russia, Sir Keir can try to deflect all blame by asserting that the US failed to be properly supportive in Ukraine’s hour of need.
Politicians must be spending too much time wining and dining at world government meetings. They forget their purview. Starmer’s is the UK. Global dealing should happen only in the context of representing the best interests of his people. I’d love to hear him explain- beyond the slogan of defending alleged democracy in Ukraine- how he is serving the country of his elected authority. President Trump can defend himself on those grounds. Starmer can’t, and his people hate him.
That was the “Zelensky should resign” part of VP statement, also “you have no cards” he had one and didn’t use it. His masters overestimated.
Something is totally off…just like the Covid crap.

F: It was all funded through USAID.
Speaking of USAID funding:
MSNBC Host Jen Psaki’s sister worked for nearly a decade at Population Council International, a recipient of hundreds of millions of dollars from USAID.
The group even lists USAID as one of its official partners.
Why does Jen never disclose this!?
Population Council International sounds ominous. ‘Final solution’ anyone?
Soilent Green
“Why does Jen never disclose this!?”
Because, like most Democrats, Psaki is a consummate liar both in her spoken word and in her strategic silence.
Yes – Psaki is lying by omission and is almost certainly partaking in her sister’s loot.
Exactly!
While they are telling the truth about Ukraine. How about telling the truth about Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, and all the other wars we Caused, Started and Supported.
Shhh! We can’t have people understanding banking and money.
Sure!
Love to know the details of Vietnam, spent better part of 2 calendar years there; we do know CIA killed Diem.
Thank you for your service.
My father did 2 tours as a 1st Lt. He said they were all rotten and it was grift.
And about the drug supply-chain. Golden Triangle.
Thank you. God Bless.
THEY….made me spend my teen age years @ war. 1967- 1970. Git out one month before my 21st B Day. List many friends . Por Nada!
I had my 22nd Birthday in Vietnam.
And politically assassinated Goldwater, and lterally assasssinated JFK, because neither would have gone along with their plans to escalate it, whereas Johnson would.
You are 1000% correct. Trump needs to lay this all out there NOW. Stop making the POS little runt dictator and his POS Ukraine people innocent in all of this.
That’s the only way to stop the MSM TDS frenzy and the globalists’ march to WWIII. President Trump has to be brutally honest and spell out.
The UKs gung-ho ‘whatever it takes’ reminds me of the incident that occurred during the discussion of Poland’s situation in WW2. Stalin brought a proposal about Poland but Churchill objected and said “The Pope would be very displeased”. Then Stalin turned to Churchill and asked: “How many divisions did you say Pope has?”
The UK can barely muster 3 divisions but has 213 Generals.
The UK has no control over its borders and expenditure on disability benefits exceeds defence spending. Yet it expects to defeat Russia?
People need an urgent reality check.
These People are so far gone out of their minds, they couldn’t find REALITY if it hit them right between the eyes, as it has happened but they can NOT and wish NOT to see it It’s incredible!
Time for brutal honesty.
The honest, simple answer is because they want war. War brings money and power.
I do believe after today WH meeting VSGPDJT reveal it all …or perhaps tommorow in the most important session /speech to CONgress since 1871……all must be there…
POTUS says the speech tomorrow will be lit.
Especially after the President rips up a picture of Nanzi.
From your keyboard to God’s eyes!
Can hardly wait. Winning !
Absolutely – the only reason they are probably holding back is that the public is not ready to hear that yet given the depth of the brainwashing they have been exposed to. The MSM still has enough pull to take that and repurpose the Trump-Putin conspiracy narrative. Given the above context, cognitive dissonance is a very powerful construct.
When will they be ready??
It is mind numbing to know there are those who still believe the MSM. No clue how their eyes do not see and their ears do not hear how fake and biased the MSM messaging is.
Just the tiny bits of clips I see here that Sundance highlights it is obvious to see the talking head’s facial expressions and body language ooze of fake and pretending not to know!
It is all utter madness what we are living.
Yes it is mind-numbing and frustrating on a macro level, and even in my orbit on a micro level. I have friends and family that upon hearing me say the Russians are the good guys, their reactions range from leaving the room to getting angry and calling me names.
I think the money train going into the MSM to push the narrative has to be cut off, and we need to clean up the election fraud mechanisms. The latter is needed so that even if there is a reaction from what I called the “unwashed middle of the political spectrum”, the globalists won’t be able to push the election results back in the other direction.
The idiocracy only has a voice because they have enough of a critical mass to be levered into power with election fraud.
A fraud so longstanding that it has lost its mojo and cannot reconstitute a century of machinations currently being dismantled and discovered before the midterms.
Nix the Fix
**2026**
The MidTerms will defy all “Historical” “Trends.”
All that came before were lies and frauds.
Our voices have been suppressed and misrepresented for decades if not centuries.
Too Big To Rig won over their Machine, it was the only way.
Soon, they will have no Machine, and our unsuppressed voices will shake the Heavens.
I really hope you are right. There doesn’t seem to be much being communicated on election integrity initiatives, but maybe they are doing this under the radar?
The list of lies we’ve been told is miles long..
Yes it is way past time to speak these points loud and clear. I also wonder why this is never pointed out.
He doesn’t need to do that. He can make it very much simpler by repeating a few inescapable facts.
the war never should have happened in the first placethe US should not get involved in another country’s civil warthere has been a drumbeat to escalate the war and force the US to go to war with Russia ever since the invasion in 2022Zelensky canceled elections, so we don’t even know if the people of Ukraine support continuation of the warYou can skip all the (true) conspiracy stuff and make it about one very, very, very, simple fact:
Zelensky and the Europeans don’t want to keep the peace. They want the United States to go to war with Russia, and that has never changed or softened. If you want your kids sent to war with Russia, you would have voted for Sleepy Joe Biden.
We don’t need to give history lessons. This is really quite simple: Zelensky and the Europeans want to escalate the war and we are not, 100% NOT, getting US troops involved.
To make his point, Trump should:
order all DoD and CIA troops out of Ukraineorder a review of “Five Eyes” programs to determine whether our systems might be exploited by Europeans to conduct combat operations in Ukraineorder a review of NATO’s Article V charter and whether the US is obligated to come to the defense of nations that engage in hostilities against Russia.
He can shut this down very, very, fast.
President Trump has a conundrum.
He is railing against a war US started.
IOW, this is not Trump’s first rodeo.
The difference this time is that he is rooting out the troublemakers and warmongers inside the US.
And, he’s giving them new targets to pursue: border control, drug cartels, iron dome, etc.
lol. Awkward. But so what?
Bingo, and tradition says”Country that starts war, pays for reparations.”
To answer why President Trump hasn’t gone farther than he has, in calling B.S. on the false narrative of Russia engaging in an UNPROVOKED attack,….
First off, he DID “go there” once, recently when he said Z and Joe talking about NATO membership for Ukraine was what started the war.
Beyond that, listen to Macron and Zalenski, and their motive becomes clear, and also why PDJT is dancing carefully around this.
“International Law” says that countries not a party to the conflict (England, France, the U.S., etc.) can freeze the assets of a Country they percieve as being the aggressor to a conflict.
During the conflict, they may not touch the principal, but can syphon off any earnings or interest,..and at the conclusion of hostilities they can take the frozen assets, and apply them as reparations.
If Russia was provoked, than those frozen assets go back to Russia.
And, if Joe, as POTUS provoked the conflict, than perhaps the U.S. is responsible for paying reparations.
Bottom line is, as COVID was for “45”, the HOPE the Ukraine war will be, for “47” a trap…and their long term goal renains regime change, balkanisation of and looting of Russia.
Best post ever!!!! 1000 likes!
President Trump has been so careful in his wording
Vance slipped a bit in the Oval when in the middle of a comment he used the words “Russia invaded.” The dim wit dems tried to turn that into Vance agreeing it was Russia’s fault, which of course was not Vance’s intention.
President Trump is a genius at seeing all threads in a situation, past, current, and future threads, and managing them all at one time.
Our President has opened and is opening so many cans of worms and yet he manages to leverage them all in the best possible way.
I’m not happy with Bondi (and so far not Kash either) but it is understandable when others can’t keep up. They need figure out how to work in Trump time.
A person doing a good job in general and with wording is Rubio. Rubio seems dialled into the President’s wavelength.
Saddam and Gaddafi were trying to do right by their people, but the CIA beat and hung them. UKraine does wrong by their people, and they are worshiped! The murder of the former caused mass migration around the world. The UK virtually became Afghanistan!
Z … do not have a religion of SADDAM and Gaddafi….big different……
Won’t be necessary if Elon follows through on the troll and pops the hood on Zelensky’s laundromat
Hmmm….. Tuesday report to congress?
California Joe, there is more to the story:
A: The three Eastern Provinces of Donetsk, Kerson and Lugansk are Russian speaking and broke away from Ukraine in 2014 and formed their own government.
In 2024 the US and the UK were involved in a coup d’etat to overthrow the duly-elected President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, who opposed NATO membership. He had been elected despite routine U.S. election meddling. This coup was said by some to be the most blatant coup in history. Aseniy Yatsenyuk, handpicked by Clinton appointee Victoria Nuland, became prime minister. Russia refused to recognize the government he headed, stacked with NATO supporters. And Obama named Biden as point man on the Ukrainian crisis.
It was in the aftermath of this coup that the people of Donetsk and Luhansk declared their independence. One impetus for this move was the vote of the Ukrainian policy abolishing the law that permitted Russian to be used as the second official language in those regions that were Russian speaking… Once the Donbas “republics” declared their independence, the Ukrainian Government declared them terrorists and dispatched its army to take control of the region.
How Obama And Biden Installed Neo-Nazis In Ukraine
https://www.kanekoa.news/p/how-obama-and-biden-installed-neo
The article discusses the role of the U.S. government, specifically Obama and Biden, in the Ukrainian Coup. It discusses how the US was likely involved in the Maidan Massacre. It highlights the involvement of neo-Nazi groups, such as Svoboda and the Azov Battalion that committed war crimes against the Russian-speaking Ukrainians. It reveals that Ihor Kolomoysky, the Ukrainian billionaire oligarch, who funded the Azov Batallion and other neo-Nazi militant groups, was not only the key man behind the Odesa Fire Massacre, but he was also the key man behind Burisma Holdings, the corrupt gas company which paid Hunter Biden $83,000 a month. The Pandora Papers revealed that President Zelensky, is financially entangled with Ihor Kolomoysky via off-shore bank accounts.
How many Americans realize that the U.S. government aided neo-Nazi militias in overthrowing the democratically elected president of Ukraine in 2014? How many Americans realize that neo-Nazi militias in Ukraine have been shelling the Donbas region for the last 8-years in violation of the Minsk agreement killing thousands of innocent civilians? How many Americans know that Obama and Biden armed and trained Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov Battalion who are guilty of committing ‘ISIS-Style’ war crimes?
This wasn’t the first time the corporate media and the U.S. political establishment covered up for what Obama and Biden had done in Ukraine. Back in 2019, the political establishment impeached President Trump for asking questions about what corrupt American policymakers had been doing in Ukraine.
On February 24, 2022 when Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukrainian territory on a stated mission to “demilitarize and denazify” the country, the western propaganda machine went into overdrive to cover up how Obama and Biden installed these neo-Nazi factions in Ukraine.
Setting the Record Straight; Stuff You Should Know About Ukraine
http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2023/february/08/setting-the-record-straight-stuff-you-should-know-about-ukraine/
“On February 16, 2022, a full week before Putin sent combat troops into Ukraine, the Ukrainian Army began the heavy bombardment of the area (in east Ukraine) occupied by mainly ethnic Russians. Officials from the Observer Mission of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) were located in the vicinity at the time and kept a record of the shelling as it took place. What the OSCE discovered was that the bombardment dramatically intensified as the week went on until it reached a peak on February 19, when a total of 2,026 artillery strikes were recorded. Keep in mind, the Ukrainian Army was, in fact, shelling civilian areas along the Line of Contact that were occupied by other Ukrainians.”
Is the bombardment and slaughter of one’s own people an ‘act of war’? We think it is. And if we are right, then we must logically assume that the war began before the Russian invasion (which was launched a full week later) We must also assume that Russia’s alleged “unprovoked aggression” was not unprovoked at all but was the appropriate humanitarian response to the deliberate killing of civilians. In order to argue that the Russian invasion was ‘not provoked’, we would have to say that firing over 4,000 artillery shells into towns and neighborhoods where women and children live, is not a provocation? Who will defend that point of view?
No one, because it’s absurd. The killing of civilians in the Donbas was a clear provocation, a provocation that was aimed at goading Russia into a war. And –as we said earlier– the OSCE had monitors on the ground who provided full documentation of the shelling as it took place. This, of course, is a major break with the “official narrative” which identifies Russia as the perpetrator of hostilities. But, as we’ve shown, that simply isn’t the case. The official narrative is wrong.
This Twitter thread, which includes the topic of US bioweapon labs in Ukraine, is interesting too:
Now that I have everyone’s attention, allow me to address why US establishment politicians are sending tanks, jets, weapons, equipment, and $100+ billion to Ukraine. It has nothing to do with Ukrainian citizens, and everything to do with Deep State assets/secrets in Ukraine.
All of the above is true.
Joe-my Dad’s name-I’m not so sure how long you’ve been posting at the Treehouse but I know many Treepers have been butting antlers with you in the past year.
You are spot on here. The American public, in this address tomorrow night, must be made aware of what this CF means for Peace going forward.
Thank you, Stev! Steve is my brothers name. 😉
Tulsi Gabbard Identifies Biggest National Security Threat, and It’s Not What We’ve Been Told
MAR 2, 2025 5:00 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER
“…Well of course. The top terror groups worldwide are all Islamic. On Sept. 11, 2001, Islamic jihadis carried out the largest-ever terror attack on American soil. Numerous other Islamic jihad attacks have taken place in the U.S., at Fort Hood, the Boston Marathon, San Bernardino, New Orleans, and numerous other places. The Biden regime caught numerous people on the terror watch list crossing into the U.S. from Mexico and released at least 99 of them into the country. Gabbard was therefore making an entirely reasonable assessment.
Gabbard said: “We look at the past four years of open borders, where we had tens of millions of people coming across our borders, many of whom we don’t know who they are or what their intentions are, very specifically the threat of radical Islamist terrorism here within our country is higher than it’s ever been before, not only because of Biden’s open borders, but because of his and his administration’s fear of being called Islamophobes.”
For Gabbard to speak of “radical Islamist terrorism” was not quite accurate, as there is nothing “radical” about Islamic jihad violence. It is mainstream and deeply rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah. And “Islamist” is a phony word that corresponds to nothing in Islamic theology. It is just an attempt to distance Islam from the crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings….”
https://jihadwatch.org/2025/03/tulsi-gabbard-identifies-biggest-national-security-threat-and-its-not-what-weve-been-told
In a real world islam would be declared a terrorist organization, which of course it is. I’m not an expert but I have a quran and have read it. An easy read. Smite them at the neck comes to mind.
Islam is a political movement masquerading as a religion.

Did you know that Thomas Sowell was a communist as a young man? He understood. I cherish his writings.
So was David Horowitz of Frontpage Magazine.
“Inside Every Progressive Is A Totalitarian Screaming To Get Out” —David Horowitz
https://www.frontpagemag.com/
Lol. Reminds me of the truthful saying that inside every fascist is a communist screaming to get out.
His autobiography is Radical Son. Read it during the Obummer years. He was a “red diaper “ baby. Turned Republican during Reagan presidency.
I did know, John.
Both he and Clarence Thomas developed mature views after following youthful ideologies when they tried to reconcile those beliefs with life’s evidence which inarguably showed them the flaws in their thinking….and switched horses.
I can’t tell you how much I admire them both for the strength of their characters.
Such people are rare. So rare in fact that I cannot name another in the public sphere since who has followed their examples.
I have held both men up early and often on to my three nearest to me grandchildren. Their wisdom must not ever be lost nor their names forgotten.
God bless them both.
Yes, honest men should be upheld and revered.
Walter Williams is another.
Sigh….
“Don’t live for your presence to be noticed, but for your absence to be felt.”
~Bob Marley (of all people)~
Dr Williams’ voice and good humour are very much missed.
Agreed. I love truth-tellers.
Dr Williams used to fill in for Rush. Sometimes he would have his good friend Dr Sowell call in for a good conversation.
I’m smiling, remembering…😌
If you are not liberal when you are young you have no heart.
If you are not conservative when you are old you have no head
……..or something like that.
Churchill… but apparently not.
https://winstonchurchill.org/resources/quotes/quotes-falsely-attributed/
I don’t care who said it, Mycroft.
This short quote says much about how one’s political maturation should progress.
It was different then.
ALWAYS Thought that it was Winston Churchill – BUT
Evidently it was a Spin OFF Of
What THOMAS JEFFERSON Attributes To
JOHN ADAMS
” Thomas Jefferson preserved this quip, writing in a 1799 journal that Adams had said: “A boy of 15 who is not a democrat is good for nothing, and he is no better who is a democrat at 20.” ”
https://freakonomics.com/2011/08/john-adams-said-it-first/
PROBABLY a PHILOSOPHY QUOTE that JOHN ADAMS Was TAUGHT in His CLASSICAL TEACHINGS during HIS EDUCATION ( jmo )
SAD That WE Have LOST That Firm Linkage to The Classical Teachings That ONCE WERE REQUIRED…
He did clear cut with his past…..to became with Patrick Buchanan as one of best thinkers of USA…….
And the most succinct. He uses few words to impart his views and wisdom. Which make them more memorable and powerful.
Not one superfluous word comes out of his mouth.
(Unlike one particular ex presidential candidate I could name who belches out word salads in which there isn’t a single worthy thought.)
Thank you Betsy..
You are welcome, my friend 🤗
I am so disappointed that DOGE cuts won’t be made until NEXT YEAR. Why???
…because Republicans already happily voted to pay them this year!
Could you pls elaborate? I had thought the cuts were already being made, on an ongoing basis. So what have I missed?
SOH Johnson rather do yet another Continuing Resolution than make necessary cuts:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-house-looks-pass-stopgap-145539784.html
And guess what they’ll vote to do at the end of September again????
Many of us would rather they SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT than give up 11 days before the March 14 deadline. We also predicted they would do this.
Expect the spending to continue. It’s the only way to keep the illusion of prosperity alive. They literally cannot not spend or the whole charade will be exposed. “We” are bankrupt. Prepare wisely..
TERM……….LIMITS…
Consider the source.
Old habits die hard.

I about froze to death inside my home for the 2nd winter! NOT ANOTHER PENNY EVER AGAIN TO ANY CHARITIES , except something like T2T and our Tree House <3
We did, too, wolvybat…mybgosh!! Still the bills!!!
Layers upon layers and of clothing…
Perseverance and endurance to see how low we could go.
Scott of the Antarctic would have been impressed.
It sounds like “Julie Donuts” is trying to create an argument centered around “let’s blame the government”.
I look at her list, and to my eyes, those items boil down to making sound financial decisions.
That’s a personal problem, not a government problem.
It’s weird that the rubes are agreeing with her.
We’ve always been prudent and careful, never knowing what is coming, but knowing the “what” will surely come.
We cut our cloth to our circumstances. Circumstances which are not of our making.
Of course there are those who make unfortunate decisions.
But I’m equally sure that there are millions just like us.
If she actually had money she should be free to spend it on a few treats for herself. Who peed in your cornflakes?
You’re wrong. She’s noting the effect of Democrats and Biden’s energy policy, which was essentially “stop producing energy” had on the daily cost of living.
It is because there is no budget yet. They are still going through the reconciliation with the Senate on the “big beautiful bill”. Once that is done, then they have the framework to do the rest of it. Unfortunately, because it takes forever for them to do their job, there is no time to get the budget done before they run out of money.
So, this should be the very last CR. Sadly, it is necessary in order to get to the cuts in spending.
DOGE locates and finds areas that can be cut, contracts that can be ended, and make recommendations of what can also be done – it is up to Congress to follow through on those recommendations though I suspect contracts that were concluded yet still receiving payments is something the Treasury Secretary can take control of.
They are stopping a lot of money now, especially at US AID.
What does Mike Lee know, I wonder.
This sounds rhetorical…
Zelensky offered Lindsey Graham Ukrainian citizenship after the Oval Office debacle –wonder why?
Lady Lindsey should rightly and justly be hanging from a rope in public.
Please release that list.
It’s in a queque of lists yet to see daylight.
Please publish.
Beyond Lee’s question I haven’t seen anyone yet attempt to answer his question about Ukrainian Passports. Curious, is it not?
I want the list of every Congressional family member making 100K plus for an NGO, and their educational background.
Personally I’d like to start with Tom Cotton, forever preesenting himself as a paragon of virtue.
We know he “sits on the board” of an NGO, but claims he is not “paid”.
Lawyerly obfuscation methinks.
Why do any of us need that? Not trying to be antagonistic, but if a person is making, say, $150k/yr, but has a net worth of, say, $20 million, it’s safe to assume they’re feeding at the trough. No need to complicate the matter.
.
Some people who run for office already have money, businesses, spouses/parents with money. You can’t just look at their salaries.
.
Certainly.
However if you hear hoof beets in America think horses and not zebras.
Some like mcconnell were purchased outrigtht by China.
.
His wife and father-in-law.
.
SIL was/may have been murdered.
Wonder who send and what was the message??
That is such a great metaphor! Never heard that before.
If it walks and quacks like a duck, dont overthink or rule-out it being a duck all along.
To shame them, John. If such a thing is possible, which I doubt it is.
This plus their insider trading for which they are exempt from prosecution…for which we’d all be sitting in prison if we did it.
What they do with these NGOs, they do apparently as a second job when they’ve been “hired” to work for us.
Why is that?? Do they have something to hide?
And that is morally reprehensible to me. Then they have the nerve to accept the honorific “The Honourable” in front of their grubby names.
I’m sorry, you’ve unwittingly hit a nerve here. I have nothing but contempt for all of them who profit off their positions.
Because Ukraine is where their embezzled money is located, in bank accounts that are discreet. One way to reduce the risk of getting caught during embezzlement in Ukraine is to leave the money there, rather than trying to bring it all to the US.
And the way to end it is to publicly hang or execute 1-2 high-level people that are guilty of sedition and/or treason. That act would end any incentive lower-rung people may have. If the issue reoccurs, rinse and repeat.
.
The legal definition of treason is levying war against the United States, adhering to war enemies, or giving aid and comfort to war enemies within the United States.
Note the requirement of WAR, enemy in WAR.
The legal definition of sedition is conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the U.S. government, levy war…, or oppose by force the authority… or the execution of any law of the United States…
Note the requirement of FORCE.
Could we please stop throwing these words treason and sedition around. They don’t mean merely being a dishonest, corrupt, bribed, or thieving asshole.
.
Anything subsidized increases. Hanging prevents recidivism.
Jug ears Boosh declared a “war on terror” that went on for decades in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. That qualifies the Russia! Russia! Russia! conspirators as TRAITORS, at the very least.
And if the 2020 blatant election fraud and the subsequent arrest and detention of peaceful demonstrators isn’t a “forcible” coup de etat, I don’t know what else it could be!
Treason and sedition are perfect descriptors of these enemy combatants within the gate.
Now give the official/military/legal definition of 4th & 5th Generation WAR.
We’ve been WARred upon by domestic enemies for a long time now; never mind the foreign ones.
Then give the definition of Torture – it also fits what’s been imposed on We the People under the definition of FORCE.
Knowing what the words *actually mean* gives us our remedy already in the LAW.
Treason & sedition have been satisfied many times over by many domestic enemies.
I USED to make that argument, and point out that hanoi jane fonda was never prosecuted for her betrayal, because legal scholars contended that since Congress had never declared WAR against N. Vietnam, she was protected by First amendment.
Eventually, I gave up, but glad to see you continueing the effort…I just don’t have the energy, any more..
Hope you get your mojo back soon. Spring is almost here. Maybe it would feel good to sit outside in the sun? I enjoy your posts.
Maybe dumb questions but curious enough to ask anyway …..Was “War on Terror”considered official declaration of war? Was it officially ended? If not, then couldn’t those giving aid and comfort to terrorist be charged with treason? Drug cartels (now classified as terrorist) and US officials who enable and profit from them?
One could make a very good argument, based on what we’ve been learning…and enduring…that the United States itself is a terrorist nation. And that their War on Terror has been inflicted in great part on its own citizens.
And for clarification, I do make a distinction between the United States and America.
👍 I understood the distinction. So then argument would be – “our nation, along with others, has been overturned by global terrorist network in Act of War”?
I believe we are caught up in the same spiritual war which has been raging in the heavens, my friend. I believe that the prince of this world is at the heart of what we are seeing now and learning day by day what has led us into these chaotic times.
In other words, the nexus of the terrible atrocities and tragedies in all their forms is satan himself. And he has coopted soldiers to do his bidding…not one, but many who wish to separate us from Almighty God.
Further, I believe they’ve been installed in many heretofore Christian nations in positions of power and within churches of all denominations to accomplish his one desire.
So yes, an Act of War…against all that is good and beautiful and holy.
I imagine that’s not the answer you were expecting.
But with all my heart it is the only answer I can give.
No. Not what was expected but definitely worth considering. Thanks 😊
Having traveled outside the US and taken the time to learn another language the US looking in is absolutely a terrorist nation.
One story I heard. A private yacht of another country was crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean when hailed and ordered to stand down for boarding and inspection by the US Coast Guard.
Said boat points out it is not American not subject to American law and in international waters so no thanks.
CG says heave to …or else.
Yacht says FU and firewalls the throttles and being a private yacht with very big engines it zooms away.
At the very least that is thug behavior and on the open seas could be construed as terrorism.
Now there you go again, arguing law instead of emotion.
Embezzled money…and much else besides which makes my skin crawl, which they all know about.
I know…
They cannot not know.
And on thinking about it, I can feel myself wincing.
Another reason seeing those profiting by venal and secretive means on the backs of death and destruction viscerally turns my stomach so badly that I cannot bear to look at any of them.
Same reason they’d have a passport for any other country (Costa Rica, for example). You need it to do “business”.
Wouldn’t you have a US passport with a Ukrainian visa if you are American? Don’t you need to be a Ukrainian citizen to have a Ukrainian passport?
no extradition? (IDK)
If I had to guess, at this point very probably not.
One of the Vindeman Twins ran for Congress IIRC. I am certain they have dual citizenship or at least a Ukrainian passport.
Oh bet on it, annie.
Mike Lee trolls like Elon Musk and I’m so here for it, now that DOD is FINALLY under the DOGE magnifier
Ex: Wuhan ain’t got jack-crap on eastern Ukraine
2024 Uk army has more horses (~500) than Main battle tanks (~200). Good luck with your new security guarantor Zelensky!
The UK has more horses. Because Horses perform better in battle than British tanks.
That’s the way I have always felt about British cars.
What you don’t like Smith electrics?
The Royal Navy has more admirals than warships!
I hope they never decide to do away with them like McCarthur.
Starmer promised not just boots on the grounds, but airplanes, …lol.
Good luck with that, without U.S. Satellite and GPS data…
The British has had very good war planes. The Vulcan, Harrier and Spitfire. Also the S.A.S are no slouches. Unfortunately the leadership have been very happy to have the U.S. do the heavy lifting so they can take care of illegal immigrants. By the way, people fought wars for years without GPS and satellite. It is called navigation.
How many people nowadays can actually read a map?

My favorite bit from this new Unreported Truths
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/volodymyr-zelenskys-massive-blunder
“Putin is bad. He is Dr. Evil.” I seem to hearing the same thing about another President…
I have read and watched a number of Putin’s speeches and he strikes me the paragon of sanity and reason.
Completely agree.
My post should have read – I seem to remember hearing the same thing about another President.
I understood youu intent.
Same. I was surprised how much I can agree with him on some issues…. desire to protect national sovereignty against global cabal being one.
Me too. I’m especially grateful he didn’t go off the rails based on all the attacks on him in the last ten years.
Wonder what kept him from “going off rails “?
So this is where we are at with Ukraine. The globalists are NOT going to end this war ever. They need there cash cow. So it will come up to whether President Trump has the balls to say NO more aide and NO US troops for Ukraine. AND STICK TOO IT.
At that point the Globalists will blame President Trump for letting Putin take over the whole of Ukraine. Book it.
Except, President Trump will negotiate a settlement with President Putin and Russia will not advance beyond the line agreed upon with President Trump. Once the $$$ is cut-off to Ukraine it will fold like a cheap suit!
So why should Putin stop?
.
Because he’s not actually interested in expending resources to control people who oppose him or rebuild territory that will not benefit him? Because he’s more interested in having unimpeded shipping access, and a neutral buffer that is not in NATO, and not having Russian ethnics under constant Nazi persecution? Just guessing.
.
If he doesn’t stop it would tell us what his intentions are.
I think because he’s had enough of the war too.
And he trusts a handshake deal with President Trump.
Putins problem is not with Trump, its with who comes after.
Given this is a 20 year project of NATO expansion to Russias border, followed by the euromaiden coup, and provoking Russia (“poking the bear”) and all the rest, all to bring about “regime change”, and then balkanisation of Russia in order to loot and pillage, and given that it is the only hope the bankrupt EU Countries have, given PDJT’s reciprocal tariffs, they are NOT going to let this go.
Hence, Putins only security guarantee that extends beyond PDJT’s term, is if the EU is pretty much destroyed financially, and or if the US pulls out of NATO?
And, maybe THAT is the security guarantee that PDJT is offering Putin?
It’s costing money and lives.
Why should he continue if deep state provocation stops?
So? Nobody gives a rat’s a** what they say.

That would be a dream come true. I love driving my old 4×4. No FN TV screen in the dash!
Its very simplicity make it a joy to drive.
Seems I recall Ohio legislature passing a law require Ohio to by autos with the highest % of American made parts. Turns out that was Honda. People got really upset abot that one.
I’m starting to see why the left had an epic meltdown over Matt Gaetz as AG and not a peep about Bondi.
The “problem” with Gaetz is that he’s not an Israel-firster. If you don’t get on board with Israel, you don’t get a chance to represent.
There are a # of problems with Gaetz, but thats not even on the list.
First off, Matt is all about Matt.
Secondly, he is a bomb thrower, divisive as hell and enjoys being a lightning rod.
Thirdly, which means if he had stayed in the House, it would have been impossible to get the R caucus to work together, and give PDJT his legislative agenda.
Your slip is showing.

Someone else has to do the investigation, analysis, and strategy and tell her to do it as well as to whom to delegate the work. President Trump is busy doing other things.

Hmm,..perhaps ‘someone’ (Lee Zeldin?) HAS.
DOJ/FBI announce launch of investigation into the $20 BILLION the Biden admin parked in Commercial banks, hoping to conceal it.
Latest article at TGP.
Something happening there,…what it IS, …ain’t exactly clear!
I suspect they are up to their ass in alligators and wish people would back off for a few weeks. I would prefer they trace the money before anything else.
I was listening to most recent Rogan/Musk podcast and surprised to hear Rogan say he just ‘learned James Comeys daughter Maurene is Asst US Attorney for SDNY’. Most here know she was lead prosecutor in Ghislane Maxwells trial as well.
Thats important information for public to know. So are Bill Barr’s family connections – and not just his father Donald Barr but Barr’s 3 daughters and their husbands too.
Anyway…makes me wonder…
Is it possible for DOGE to track nepotistic connections between US Departments/Agency’s /Contractors/etc and then release that information to public? Seems like that would be great resource for public context and oversight.
….and what could be better than fully informed public for government efficiency?
It’s been common knowledge here that Maureen Comey is at SDNY and working on Epstein and Maxwell trials among others like Adams and Bob Menendez!

Thank you.
Didn’t Face Book do/is still doing almost the same thing?
🫠Wouldn’t it be something if …….
at the end of his address tomorrow
President Trump announces that the
Epstein Files
has been posted on
The White House website.
Better: President Trump withdraws the U.S. from NATO, effective immediately.
Epstein Files
could possibly turn NATO
on its head.
And then announces we are bringing our troops and equipment home from Europe.
I think Congress passed a new law (in the last NDDA signed by Biden) that basically removes the ability for the President to remove the USA from NATO without their approval.
Interesting. Time for Congress to declare war not the president. But they are coward and will not put their name on it. All greedy weasels…
I bet he can reduce our payments to them to about zero.
Which has not survived Constitutional challenge to SCOTUS.
Besides, as PDJT pointed out as”45″, most of the EU countries have not met their NATO obligation of 2%, for many YEARS.
It is a CONTRACT, with a simple quid pro quo, as all contracts MUST have, in order to be valid.
“You spend 2% of GDP on your military, and IN EXCHANGE, an attack against one is an attack against all.”
Sure, when PDJT said he wouldn’t defend them if they were delinquent, they ponied up, but as sokn as the 2020 steal, they stopped paying, and got behind again.
And, as CiC and Cheif Executive, POTUS Trump is certainly empowered to insist the other signatories to any treaty with the U.S., live up to their obligations, under the treaty.
Otherwise, as they are in breach, we have no obligation, because THEY violated the treaty.
how about a work around?
PT announces the U.S. will not contribute another dang dime to NATO until
all other members pay their current obligation in full, and ALL other monies owed in arrears.
I would be fine with this, but this strategy doesn’t do anything about UK or European nations putting their troops into Ukraine for use as an Article V trip wire, forcing us into World War 3 against our will.
F’ing foreign entanglements. The founders were right.
ah yes, there’s that.
thanks for being 100% correct….and depressing.😉😂
If so, perhaps we can just stop paying our dues without actually removing the USA?
Unconstitutional on its face.
Violates Separation of Powers.
That WOULD BE A Treaty and Require the Senate – I Believe – BUT Can Be Argued
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S2-C2-1-10/ALDE_00012961/
Yes. DO IT. Don’t announce it’s going to be done. DO IT.
Not interested. Would be better if he announced the USA is no longer funding UKR, NATO or the UN. Now That would be epic.
“America Will Not Put Up with It For Much Longer!”
The globalists’ forever wars propaganda, manipulation, brain washing and deceit is about to break as reality meets their schemes.
Little Hitler knows nothing, The war will end when Russia says its over. No sooner no Later.
As someone stated in another post, something seems off about all this. The arrogance from Zelensky is as if he knows something big is going to happen. They have been lethal,powerful weapons distributed, sold in every corner of the world. Does he know a big boom will go off in a certain location and turn the world upside down.
Not without US$$$, it isn’t.
He needs edification via natural consequences.
Commies always double down.
Great article by Julie Kelly:
https://open.substack.com/pub/juliekelly/p/the-real-problem-with-hampton-dellinger?r=b7nwz&utm_medium=ios
Julie Kelly above is a
Must-read.
According to Fox News’s Peter Doocy, the Ukrainian President performed several disrespectful gestures for about half an hour that Trump could not see but Vance was aware of.
“The thing that really set the vice-president off was 30 minutes of head-shaking, smirking, and eye-rolling from Zelenskyy,” Doocy explained. “The president couldn’t see it when he was addressing the press.”
“But the rest of the top staffers saw it. It was the body language as much as anything…The ball started rolling down the hill way sooner.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/watch-fox-newss-peter-doocy-reveals-exactly-what/
He did that eye roll sh!t when President Trump first met with him after he said lil’ z “would be happy to help get to the bottom” of Burisma corruption. I hated him for that in the days of yore. My attitude of him never improved.
I saw it too. It was really upsetting because President was being his usual gracious self and this guy was shaking his head no, grimacing, smirking and rolling his eyes. So denigrating to this country and President Trump.
Definitely high school stuff coming from a supposed leader of a sovereign country.
He obviously leads *nothing*… he’s a minion & a pawn, incapable of doing anything except what he’s told by his puppeteers.
He’s a pathetic *actor* – pretending to be what he is not… it’s why he was selected…
yet he’s not good at it whatsoever.
I’m astonished anybody was ever fooled about that.
I *loved* seeing our POTUS & VP drop the pretense & speak Truth decisively & soberly.
JD Vance is an attorney, they learn a lot about how to read body language.
I’m sure he was fuming sitting there watching it all..

To the Great Farmers of the United States: Get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold INSIDE of the United States.
Tariffs will go on external product on April 2nd.
Have fun!
I am on it, Mr. President, Sir! I guess we won’t need an EO on Country Of Origin on food packaging because all the dodgy goods will jump in price over their Bidenflation highs!
The “dodgy goods’ will definitely *not* jump in price; US producers produce those.
I’ll wait for the law restricting all food toxins banned in other countries being imposed here.
RFKII has the real uphill climb of that to accomplish.
Our crops & food supply are extremely toxic – even though American companies make/produce foods for sale internationally to a much higher standard of ‘safety’… foreign countries won’t buy them otherwise
(because nations that pay for their citizens’ medical care {all countries but the US, btw} don’t want them sickened by the food being sold to them).
Big Ag/Big Food is basically a domestic enemy of We the People because of their toxic BigChem impositions into our food supply.
Not so for all US food producers; those with integrity are proud of their products’ quality & label them appropriately – just buy those.

Paid “troublemakers” are attending Republican Town Hall Meetings.
It is all part of the game for the Democrats, but just like our big LANDSLIDE ELECTION, it’s not going to work for them!
Wonder how many of these troublemakers were recently retired by DOGE?
Good question.
in 2009, people naturally went to town hall meetings to
mention no interest in
-government health care (lower quality health, bureaucratic, one size fits all, ‘health’ care)
-nor being mandated (taxed) to pay for it
-a media that would not accurately report it
-mis leadership that would sell it as a mandate (not a tax) to the people, and then defend the law in court as right to tax people
-raising national debt for increased entitlements (large government)
Eventually something called Taxed enough already (TEA) group started
and looked to find existing office holders, and new candidates to support limited government.
Here we are 2025, a second term with a President that supports we the people and limited government etc.
[ and a pretend democratic that wants to play pretend, and secretly pay people to un-naturally protest. Want to guess how the fake media will choose to (miss) report it? (supportive of wokeness) ]
hmmm…
p.s.
Recently a Patient went to a doctor for a 2 month shoulder pain, that patient was treating with ice
and was diagnosed after an X-ray, with a partly torn rotator cuff.
The doctor prescribed a pain medicine and suggested rehabilitation service.
It was good to know that the shoulder was structurally sound. (cost $350, including insurance)
The patient declined the prescription and suggested rehab. (the cost with insurance coverage would have been into the thousand$)
The ice treatments and tender loving care (tlc) was continued.
The shoulder healed (without drugs or added care by others).
When there is a will, then there is a way. It does not need to cost multi-thousand$.
p.s.
A Vietnam War veteran and spouse, after over 40 years of trying to get VA help
with Agent Orange contamination,
just recently got o.k. by VA to have it treated.
They are not happy about the government bureacracy
-neither in the war mis managment,
-nor in the Agent Orange treatment.
[ but, a North and South Vietnam was created – “after” a lot of unnecessary harm and expenses for years. ]
While a cease fire and then peace is sought out over time,
Will there become a West and East Ukraine,
or a whole new country name (and leaders, hopefully not the pretend democracy / tyrannical type)?
I do not know
I also had a shoulder injury, and an honest Dr.
He said normally I should reccomend surgery, and I know you have no insurance, so I’ll let you in on a secret.
Buy a sling at the drug store, and USE it, so your shoulder is not supporting the weight of your arm, at all.
It may take a month or more, but your shoulder WILL heal. MOST people nowadays don’t have the patience.
I did, and it worked just fine.
You do have a good Dr.
Hope your doing well.😊

Europe has spent more money buying Russian Oil and Gas than they have spent on defending Ukraine —BY FAR!
So glad President Trump is educating the public on this EU hypocrisy.
Europe virtual signals it cares about Ukraine, while it funds the Russian side of the war. Europe is sending Russia MORE money than they send Ukraine. The Emperor Has No Clothes.
That would be a GREAT TOPIC for POTUS to highlight in both his ‘negotiations’ and his next address to We the People. That was a ‘sneak-peek’ I think.
What an excellent fact.
Wonder what the actual $$$ amount. My understanding is that the EU is down to 15% gas imports from Russia, down from 50% in 2022.
“The end of the war with Russia is very, very far away!” says Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Not ‘very far away‘ but “very, VERY far away“…the ultimate self-fulfilling prophesy of doom from this little man, who shares his globalist mentors delusions!
They say reality bites and the reality is that Zelenskyy’s countrymen are dying in droves in a war he is losing, while the Western European powers bluster about supporting him but offer a pittance of what the U.S. was providing under Biden and dither at assembling a European army of 5,000 men as peacekeepers for a peace they seem determined to scuttle.
ALL of them should be desperate for the peace Trump is trying to broker!
But they’re not, and that’s the delusion!
The globalist elites at DAVOS and in Brussels thrive on pretending…climate change, green energy, Build Back Better and the great reset are their gods, offered up at the altar of Greta Thunberg!
But without U.S. support all their high-flying plans are coming in for a crash landing!
As Mike Tyson says, “Everybody’s got a plan until they get hit in the face!”
Immediately stop our miliary and financial aid to the Ukraine and “the end of the war with Russia is very very close!” Now that’s a fact!!! Just do it President Trump!!!!
I think that will be the outcome!
This is why the federal government needs to be careful the monies it sends to the States:
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5172145-hochul-seeks-to-recruit-laid-off-federal-workers-with-ad-in-washingtons-union-station/amp/
Cut federal employees … only to later pay for them in a different role … doesn’t help the bottom line.
Yes it does …. the States decide how to spend their Federal Grant Money, at their own peril. If a state “hires” fired Federal Workers for some nebulous job … that means money is being subtracted from another part of the State’s Federal Grant, “authorized by Congress” for another purpose.
Time for President Trump’s Team to actually REPORT on each States Federal Grant composition per the “Congressionally Authorized” budget line items requested … then let each State Governor and Mayor explain where the money really went.
It still comes down to that pesky “reprogramming authorization” that CONGRESS writes into the LAW.
😂 😂
Is that for when you are calling SSA? I am having one heck of a time getting signed up for retirement… ticking me off!
My experience…if you have an office nearby, go visit them. That made a huge difference for me…I called and the robot said my wait time was 119 minutes. Luckily the office is close to me. I took care of my issue in less than an hour.
Unfortunately, my local office doesn’t handle SS signups… I have to go to another town and it is a long way away. Also, you have to make an appointment. If only it would let me do it online…
Such a pain!!!!
Ouch! As DOGE has shown, lots of abuse and fraud so am guessing that’s why?…Personally, I would rather sit in the SS office than the DMV. In any event, I hope things go smoothly. It always seems that average folks are most inconvenienced by the govt offices or departments policies and procedures for operations (like the VA?).
It might be because my records were part of that OPM hack a few years ago…
Thanks for your words of encouragement, Aggiegirl!
Still waiting for the call back… that 20 minute wait has been 2hrs now.
Ah…your welcome and good luck! The call morphing into that long is just not right. Hoping all works out for you.
Sorry to hear that O SC ! Several years ago, when it was my time to be able to sign up, the S.S. office reached out to me via letters and email. All was done fast, without a hitch. I think you may have to take up
Aggies advice. Make an appt. and go see them in person. Also write down all other questions you can think of to ask them since this will be a once in a long while opportunity. Good luck! Not a sarc.
When we signed up 10 years ago, we called, busy, gave us a time when they’d phone back, which they did…
I’ve read of recent experiences just like yours. Whatever standards they had then worked, which is probably why tue have dropped them.
The process is the punishment…for bothering them and actually requiring their union members to earn their pay and work efficiently.
…and there is a “process effect” that hits the process all the way down, because of the millions of illegals and millions of under-65s who are signed up for SSI and in the offices screaming for more.
When my late husband and I signed up for SS benefits back when we turned 65, it was a process (walk-in) that took all of 15-20 minutes.
When he died 11 years ago and I had to go to the local SS office here in Oregon, that was a nightmare. There were at least a hundred people waiting to push in when the doors opened. Most of them were in their 30s or 40s, had a pile of kids with them, were angry that there was no one to “watch their children”. I think there were one or two others like me who were age-eligible and HAD to be there with our paperwork in hand to get things done. It was horrible.
I was the one selected to be searched. The guards took my purse and went through it in some detail. I very nearly started using my outside voice, but didn’t want to get shot.
They were obviously afraid of the slugs and robbers who were there. They were not afraid of me. So in order to do their job, they searched my personal things.
All I wanted to do was get back home and take a bath and eat a cookie.
Dear glory, Sharon!!
I knew it was bad but… !!!!!!!!
Stressful enough for you at the time for the reason you had to go. I don’t know where you found the strength. Jobsworths and sadists…I’m certain those who are hired to work in an SS office (or at DMVs, VAs, anywhere where there are “clients” to be served) all fit the profile.
My oldest recently remarried and had to go to change her name.
She gathered all her documentation (she thought and according to a proscribed list). Went, waited, and was asked for her divorce decree from 5 years ago….which wasn’t mentioned on their list.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
If President Trump ordered this miserable, dehumanizing agency to straighten up and fly right (so to speak) and it were done, I’d start carving his face into Mt Rushmore myself.
Sometimes where a person finds the strength is simply-lack of options. I think a lot of people on these threads are dealing with lack of options these days and that is a considerable percentage of what keeps them going.
Lack of options equates with the forgotten men and women?
They are surely a part of the group.
I know they are, Sharon. Whenever I read comments, I make a note of the people who tell their stories…one foot in front of the other, one second at a time. Which is why when “outside voices” are sometimes used here, my first thought is always we have no idea what this person has or is going through or facing…or how close to breaking they may be. I understand…
The hour I spent at the SS office…I thought I was in either Mexico or Mogadishu…take your pick.
I am still waiting on the call back… 🙁
I think I am just going to bite the bullet, drive to the office and drop off my application in person!
Mine is in downtown Ft Worth. A *itch of a place to get to especially if I had to go early. No chance.
Another near is easier to get to but the waiting is similar.
Cut off Ukraine and build more offices. They are needed.
Or use the empty but lease paid for post office buildings.
And to assign to the citizen, what is rightfully theirs.
Dang it BJ!!! You are moving up in the world…
Now don’t forget your little Treehouse friends 😎
Hahahaha!!!!
I certainly won’t, girl.
And I won’t pull the ladder up after me 💕
Honda to ramp up production of popular car in USA instead of Mexico over Trump’s tariffs
https://flvoicenews.com/honda-to-ramp-up-production-of-popular-car-in-usa-instead-of-mexico-over-trumps-tariffs
I know this will not be a surprise to anyone here, but I’m pretty disappointed with Bondi. She seems completely out of her league to me. For this role, I feel like President Trump needed someone highly intelligent, persistent, logical, and astute. To me, she is none of those and her media appearances don’t help. As Trump would say, a total lightweight.
I’m wondering if the Patel, Bongino, and Bondi are there for distraction right now so he can take care of other business more important to him and the is economics and sovereignty.
or,
as new leaders establish the better way forward,
that there is a parallel interactive way of sorting / sifting through the competence of 40,000 person agencies
to determine whom is helpful, or a hindrance.
[ there, cover was provided in case someone wants to use it …no extra charge ]
But, repetitive boo – boos need to have a short leash…
[ because, there is A LOT at stake to attain equal justice for all,
and erase -or make accountable – the prior double standards that are unjust. ]
imho
How about managing a 40,000 person agency, where about 39,998 of the people want you DEAD?
JUST RELEASED: Trump more popular than ever!
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14455729/donald-trump-poll-approval-congree.html
Remember this, whenever any commenter says “historically, the party that wins the Presidency, loses majority of the House in the midterms”.
Because, historically President Trumps popularity ‘SHOULD’ have gone down, since the election.
Oh my…..
This tells me one of 2 things, maybe both.
1 – The Atlanta Fed predicted that the real FJB economy will be honestly reported.
2 – FJB’s economy was propped up with trillions of borrowed money and it was counted towards the GDP. Now that DOGE is cutting debt, the phony GDP is numbers are getting in line with reality.
All the numbers released for the last 4 years are lies. Our good economy got dropped in the bowl the first part of 2020.
Then flushed in 2022 with all the sanctions on Russia.
Its going to be a rough ride for a while.
EVERY Report issued under Sock Puppet JoeBama Biden was “adjusted” to the BAD by 50% or more. that was 4-Years of worth of reports.
The same was true under the Obama regime … 8-years worth of “adjusted” false reports … to make matters even funnier … Obama used the false reports as the basis for his “magic” wand quip, in 2017.
Now we get “honest reporting”. On the bright side … 6-months from now when the economy starts to move forward again … the base line will actually be an honest one for use in comparison.
So it’s true that the Biden Crime Scene covered up the true state of the economy with continuing resolutions, endless slush funds and NGOs creating useless jobs and bounteous woke employment. That’s the air going out of that balloon.
I read where the massive amount of gold being brought in would impact GDP 1Q
I hope these jobs won’t be filled by H1B:
President Trump just announced that Taiwan Semiconductors, the biggest chip manufacturer in the world, will be investing $100B in the United States, building new factories in Arizona, and creating 20,000+ new jobs.
doesn’t chip manufacturing require a great deal of water? Why arid Arizona?
It takes less than the farmland they are building on.
<doesn’t chip manufacturing require a great deal of water? Why arid Arizona?>
Might be located in northern AZ near Hoover Dam?
Before it was offshored, a LOT of chips were made in southern Arizona.
My wife worked for Burr-Brown in Tucson in 1980 building DIPs.
Americans first!
Trump is recycling old news TSMC has been building plants in AZ since 2022.
https://www.tsmc.com/static/abouttsmcaz/index.htm
He just made the announcement formal.
Our rightful governor didn’t win it … we’ve got a nasty mess of criminal usurpers in position here – currently under investigation yes, but that needs to get sorted so that considerable chunk of Taiwan money stays out of criminal hands.
I like to think those of us yelling about this here had an effect.
Suddenly, Leaving NATO is on the Table!
Ron Paul
Over the weekend, President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk made quite a stir with just two words posted on his social media platform, X. Responding to a post that, “It’s time to leave NATO and the UN,” Musk replied, “I agree.” The comment immediately made the rounds on social media and also on mainstream and alternative media.
Was this the Elon Musk who owns X speaking, or was it the Elon Musk who has become one of President Trump’s closest advisors? Does it even matter? Having someone so close to the US president who advocates finally extracting the US from these international organizations is a significant and very positive shift for the United States.
https://ronpaulinstitute.org/suddenly-leaving-nato-is-on-the-table/
President Trump has certainly laid the groundwork for such a move,…he said “if you don’t meet your financial obligation, the US won’t defend you.” and while there was an infusion of Billions to NATO, that stopped in 2020, and most are currently behind on their obligations..
Abd now, of coarse its obvious they are hoping to abuse article 5, by sucking us into a war with Russia.
I suppose withdrawing from Nato would trigger calls for impeachment, court challenges and much gnashing of teeth,…
and would be cheered by most Americans, almost as much as dropping out of the U.N.
Dutch. No need for grand announcements or official statements. Just reduce our funding to NATO. Match the avg of other members. When it comes out eventually give the same excuses other members have been giving for 70 years. Not even sure what excuses they give but I’m sure it’s fine. Works for them
The decision to leave NATO still comes down to one simple question or point of logic.
Why is the US needed to DEFEND the EU, which out numbers Russia by more than 2:1 in population and has an economic GDP nearly 10 x Russian GDP??
… Especially given ALL the claims by EU governments and media that the Russian Economy and Military are collapsing fighting an inferior Ukraine.

DOGE structure, authority emerge as biggest DC mystery under Trump
https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5170326-doge-structure-trump-mystery
Seems like they are trying to keep DOGE in a legal nebulous zone so they can claim it’s one way when they want power but another way to avoid checks and oversight. Specifically, they’re arguing that they are not subject to FOIA requests, while at the same time claiming they’re an office of the executive.
They’re also trying to shield Musk from being subject to oversight rules by claiming he’s not in control of DOGE.
I’m fine with that.
Sounds great! Thanks for posting!
Honest answer from AI: “Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements attached to the CHIPS Act are causing delays and complications for semiconductor manufacturers, leading to frustration and postponed factory plans in the U.S. Critics argue that these DEI initiatives are hindering the act’s goal of boosting domestic chip production.”
DEI killed the CHIPS Act
7 Mar 24
https://thehill.com/opinion/4517470-dei-killed-the-chips-act/
The Biden administration recently promised it will finally loosen the purse strings on $39 billion of CHIPS Act grants to encourage semiconductor fabrication in the U.S. But less than a week later, Intel announced that it’s putting the brakes on its Columbus factory. The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has pushed back production at its second Arizona foundry. The remaining major chipmaker, Samsung, just delayed its first Texas fab.
This is not the way companies typically respond to multi-billion-dollar subsidies. So what explains chipmakers’ apparent ingratitude? In large part, frustration with DEI requirements embedded in the CHIPS Act.
The law contains 19 sections aimed at helping minority groups, including one creating a Chief Diversity Officer at the National Science Foundation, and several prioritizing scientific cooperation with what it calls “minority-serving institutions.” A section called “Opportunity and Inclusion” instructs the Department of Commerce to work with minority-owned businesses and make sure chipmakers “increase the participation of economically disadvantaged individuals in the semiconductor workforce.”
The department does not call speed critical, even though the impetus for the CHIPS Act is that 90 percent of the world’s advanced microchips are made in Taiwan, which China is preparing to annex by 2027, maybe even 2025.
Handouts abound. There’s plenty for the left—requirements that chipmakers submit detailed plans to educate, employ, and train lots of women and people of color, as well as “justice-involved individuals,” more commonly known as ex-cons. There’s plenty for the right—veterans and members of rural communities find their way into the typical DEI definition of minorities. There’s even plenty for the planet: Arizona Democrats just bragged they’ve won $15 million in CHIPS funding for an ASU project fighting climate change.
Wanna’ bet what the “certain conditions that do not align with President (Donald) Trump’s executive orders” are?
DEI isn’t even mentioned by name in this:
Exclusive: Trump prepares to change US CHIPS Act conditions, sources say
February 13, 2025
https://www.reuters.com/technology/trump-prepares-change-us-chips-act-conditions-sources-say-2025-02-13/
“The CHIPS Program Office has told us that certain conditions that do not align with President (Donald) Trump’s executive orders and policies are now under review for all CHIPS Direct Funding Agreements,” GlobalWafers spokesperson Leah Peng said in a statement to Reuters.
Then there is still the problem that. All these chip makers dont pay well enough to make a decent living.
Will the government have to subsidize Chip makers so they can pay decent wages and still compete in the global market?

Get well soon. hydroxychloroquine, quercetin, B50 complex, Zinc, ivermectin. Chicken soup even if canned.
Did some research recently…do you know what has the most calories, per tablespoon?
Chicken fat is right at the top, with over 900 calories per tablespoon.
Could be one benefit of chicken soup, as calories = energy, and it takes energy to fight a virus?
Hey Dutch, just a fact check…
there are 900 calories in 100 grams of chicken fat and
about 115 calories in 1 tbsp of chicken fat.
Still good stuff!

President Trump Makes an Investment Announcement
How to address the threat of China invading Taiwan?
Move the chip manufacturing to Az.
Already calling north Phoenix (I-17 and the 303 Loop “little Taiwan.”
Less than 30 minutes from where I live.
Fab #1 operating with#2 under construction and #3 planned.
Noticable culture shift as the area absorbs “temporary” Taiwanese workers and their families.
Community colleges offering trainin programs, an TSMC partnering with Arizona State U.
Several hundred Taiwanese students added to the school district, different foods stocked in Costco and supermarkets, several Pho and Taiwanese restaurants.
Tons of new housing units, primarily single family rentals, town homes, apartments.
Displaced wildlife is moving northward and more rattlesnakes are turning up at the shooting range where my husband volunteers and burros turning up in backyards.
Makes me sad. Love my desert oasis. “Progress” happens.

Spoiling for a Fight: Why the Administration’s Loss Last Night May Be Not Just Expected But Welcomed

That is why Jackson’s opinion may not only be expected but welcomed by the Trump Administration. It is hunting for bigger game than Dellinger and Judge Jackson just gave it a clear shot for the Supreme Court.
This EVIL, leftist (but I repeat myself) lawfare needs to be CRUSHED forever. Here’s how:
“Until very recently, federal judges were so reluctant to raise this Constitutional issue that they almost never issued such injunctions. They issued injunctions only for their own circuits and left it to the Supreme Court to resolve questions about nationwide application.
But nationwide injunctions in contentious cases have become more common recently, and it is likely that the Supreme Court will be forced to address whether inferior-court federal judges do in fact have nationwide authority.
I think it is quite unlikely that the Supreme Court will affirm this. [since oversight of NATIONAL issues is THEIR job – W]
I am not addressing here the question of whether I think Trump and DOGE’s authority to block Treasury payments should prevail. I am predicting that it almost certainly will prevail.” – Eric S Raymond
Warfare on Lawfare
Feb 10, 2025
https://www.kunstler.com/p/warfare-on-lawfare
Excerpt:
The DOJ under Pam Bondi can designate the US Solicitor General to petition the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) for certiorari — to expedite the resolution of this constitutional issue as to whether Mr. Trump, as chief executive, and his bona fide appointees, can carry out executive functions. The arguments against that appear to be weak.
It is the President’s duty to see that the laws are faithfully executed, meaning that the departments under him do their jobs correctly, which would give him inherent authority to audit and restructure agencies like USAID. Both judges Nichols and Engelmayer are arrogating executive and legislative functions on policy-making to themselves, triggering a separation-of-powers dispute that the SCOTUS must adjudicate promptly.
What matters most in these cases is that SCOTUS has an opportunity to put up new guardrails against the hijacking of the federal courts for the purpose of lawfare — that is, for political dirty-fighting under color-of-law. The law is slow-moving, arcane, and incomprehensible to most non-lawyer citizens and that is why the Party of Chaos has misused it so liberally.
First, we need to get a strong AG and Bondi is not it.
What. The. Actual. @#$%. was that!?!
The results of shuttering the insane asylums back in the 1960s.

True dat.
That’s no act , that’s a real leftist orange man bad therapy session .

Not sure, but I AM sure they paid good money for that… BTW, they should really be wearing eye protection when whackin’ those sticks around like that..

The wife and I are making President Trump’s State of the Union address must see tv.
If it’s half feisty as I think it’s going to be, the meltdowns and pearl clutching by the Conmunist Racist Demoncrats and the Propaganda Parrot Media will be epic.
RFK Jr wants a bulleted list of 5 ways you had your popcorn for President Trump’s SOTU address. May I suggest.
1 – Popcorn with sea salt
2 – Popcorn with butter
3 – Popcorn with parmesan cheese
4 – Popcorn with 1,2 and 3
5 – Popcorn with nothing on it, so you can throw it at the TV when the dims spew out their reply.
Spray lightly with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with Turmeric, Mrs Dash, or other low sodium spice.
RFK will be happy.
If I listened to their reply I would have to go buy a new tv.

Trump on suspending military aid to Ukraine: ‘I haven’t even talked about that right now’

Brits on the street have just learned about Starmer’s backroom deal with Zelensky for 100 years of protection.
WARNING: Strong language ahead
LINK
For a second, forget about the post war “security guarantees” and which countries will have boots on the ground to “keep the peace” aka instigate WW3.
Zelensky is offering rare Earth minerals he doesn’t actually have in exchange for reconstruction. Think about that.
The “mineral deal” is a House of Cards on its own
The lure of rare-earth deposits in Ukraine is a placebo for giving them billions more US money!
