TRUMP HUMILIATES DEMOCRATS IN SPEECH TO CONGRESS – BEST SPEECH OF HIS LIFE?
(MAGA Mark Dice)
I think, IMHO, that Trump was not there to “humiliate”, but to “encourage” anyone with sense to support the speedy adoption of his America First Agenda. The fact that Democrap reaction was so juvenile only showed them for the sore losers they are.
BTW, nice vidclip from Mark Dice.
I agree. He was very considerate and honest as he talked to them, sometimes directly. The only flare was when the dolts were clapping for all the money sent to the war in UKR and he took them to school. Especially Pocohantas. He was angry then that people could oppose peace efforts. Otherwise he tried to bring them in with him and everyone else. They just plain refused like the immature idiots they are. Not to clap for the people in the gallery and their stories was a huge mistake on their part. They also showed how they will never stand alone against their party bosses even if they want to. Weak, lame, unable to process or comprehend the will of the people. All on display.
Actually, he pointed out the futility of trying to please them, fairly early in his speech, saying if he cured Cancer or whatener, there is NOTHING he could do, that would please them…
And then, by their Juvenile behavior, they CONFIRMED exactly what he was saying, for the whole world to see.
It WAS a beautiful thing to watch, a Masterful performance.
Trump did recently slash funding for Cancer research, though.
https://democrats-appropriations.house.gov/news/press-releases/trump-team-dismantles-efforts-find-cure-cancer-and-other-deadly-disorders-and
No, he was slashing the PERSONNEL so that more of the money could go to the actual research.
Citing the D talking points and linking to THEIR press release????
I’ve seen 2 comments from the Quacker-sorry, I meant Quaker, both today.
Welcome to your new school!
Facing death, or coming back from it…changes a person. I have had many a cardiac arrest survivor tell me, the experience changed them for the better, whether it was last week or a half a century ago.
Our society has become very cold, in seeing some of those responses on Tuesday night.
Amen, AG! All it takes is for a person to see that their selfish ways are going to land them where they do not want to spend Eternity during one of those unplanned trips to the Spirit World!
I have seen non believers, become amazing believers. As I type this, I get chills…knowing some cold hearts, have warmed.
Really?
Really.
Romans 12
9 Love sincerely. Hate evil. Hold on to what is good.
Yes, Lord Jesus!
Amen! And there is so much good to hold on to!
But the left would take that verse and point out they believe PDJT is evil, so their hate is warranted by God. There is no winning with these “people”.
‘Listening to Bannon the day after, he maintains that the difference between MAGA and democraps can never be resolved. It’s the difference between good and evil….He called them unhuman…
He’s right. They are devoid of a soul. Disgusting people.
Group think/herd mentality; doubling down on their arrested development and toxic lives, working out their unresolved childhood issues in the public forum instead of the privacy of the therapist’s office.
They’re unserious and have forfeited their right to be heard.
There is a hard divide in our world view from those who want constant war, open borders, ubiquitous depravity, and destitute Americans.
For the longest time I assumed this divide was the natural result of attending to different sources of news, or fake news, as the case may be.
It’s more than that; several studies, including a notable one done by and reported on by the NYT, found that leftists are more emotional. We intuitively know that, but often don’t verbalize it consciously.
It is that emotional state which makes certain people more manipulable, more easily gaslighted, more likely to fall for the faux virtue-signaling, and which also makes them less able to correct with new facts, or hearing both sides.
Because of this emotional investment in the side of “we’re the do-gooders,” no matter how falsely, these people can rarely be reasoned with. Hence the futility of trying to offer a reasoned argument, trying to offer facts.
Examples? Al Green, Ilhan Omar, AOC …
Yes! The Democrats humiliated themselves. It was just a couple of decades ago that the minority party was the Loyal Opposition. With President Trump it became RESIST led by Hillary Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer, and many others including the media.
They say they hate Trump, his personality, his rudeness, combative nature, etc. However he was a rock star that the left loved before he ran for the Republican Presidency. That’s when the wealthy NY icon that they all loved became a demon.
I think they created TDS to blame their hatred toward him personally instead of arguing policy. The leftist and Democrats are a Marxist, Globalist driven party that really hates America and our traditional culture. They blame President Trump for getting in the way of their obsessive movement.
They hate him for that. Not who he is.
IMHO
One thought on TDS…aside from being an outsider, he is running the country like a business, a failing business that he is trying to make successful again.
That is something the swamp mostly does not really understand…they cannot make peace with the idea of “a new business model” also known as a ‘public administration type of model’. Their machine is no longer chugging along as they know and understand.
And there are many filled with pure hate.
And overall, people like AOC and others…the swamp does not know how to run a large profitable business.
The swamp and rats only know how a highly regulated globally fascist bureaucracy works and using the forgotten men and women as their perpetual ATM machine—because they know there are enough of us to keep attempting to have their families survive their perfidy.
Still healthy….
Democrats humiliating themselves…
Assumes facts not in evidence. In order for them to feel humiliated, they would have to be self-aware. They are not.
What they are is very dangerous.
I think that he dumped a whole lot of Truth and Reality upon them- and that was his goal.
The truth can be ugly.
The Democrats, with the support of the RINOs and a whole lot of Republicans, they’ve literally been on a crime wave using our money to terrorize the planet !!
He exposed this truth..
PT has said 3 times……..some of the fraud they have found he will not mention because it is so bad. JMO I would guess it is under investigation. I am anxious to find out the details but we will just have to wait.
The D/Hamas reactions are coming from the “useful idiots” faction of the “regime”…
As to the “tossing gold bars” levels of blatant {hands in the cookie jar} theft of the public Monies…
Tony Heller has an old Monty Python skit with Lenin, Marx, Che and Mao, on his site that is coincidentally apropo for this time…
“No one leaves the show empty handed…
So we’re cutting off their hands”
DOGE
In God We Trust
Trust God
Fear not
The Democrats showed themselves to be anti-woman and anti-black!
And anti-mothers!
And anti-dads for that matter – their treatment of DJ’s Dad as well as their vile treatment of DJ!
I believe President Trump’s address served as an excellent “exposure” operation. It showed just how crazy the Dems are and how they should no longer be taken seriously. It was planned to do just that. Otherwise President Trump wouldn’t have mentioned “these people won’t clap or stand for anything” in his pre-written speech.
Like many situations, there is a front story and a back story.
The front story of the speech was President Trump citing all the great achievements of his admin so far in such a short span of time moving the country in the right direction.
The back story was how the Dems won’t cheer for anything and have no plan.
One of these groups wants to Make America Great Again. The other, not so much.
The speech showed a clear and wide separation between these two groups. Adults vs. Children.
America is overwhelmingly choosing the Adults. The ones who actually have a plan and a positive path forward.
My thanks to you and J O’Donnell
Add my thanks too…
This is surprising.
This someone saw the Democrats as foolish.

I will mention again that Ukraine ‘meddled’ in our 2016 elections, 2020 elections (Ukrainian Neo-Nazis violent agitators on j6 with their FBlie agents “Offduty” (sarc)), and 2020 elections which included attempted assassination (s) against our President Donald J Trump. The true foreign nation “collusion” was not PDJT & Russia, it was our internal enemies/DNC-Uniparty with Ukraine. Now does how the grift/money laundering/DNC-Uniparty falling all over Pee Wee Herman Zelensky and all things Ukraine make more sense? The only applause they gave at President Donald J Trump’s Epic speech to Congress & us was for Ukraine. Does this love affair by our enemies with Ukraine really has deeper purposes as I have attempted show? (illegal Bio-labs also) (along with my posts about the Serbs & the Russia Orthodox Christian collapsing the Deep States Soviet Union Project?)
After the completion of a military tribunal, put him before a firing squad.

This is not about ‘Continuing A War”.
The war is the excuse!
What they really want to continue is all that is going on there like this, like what is happening in bio-labs, and who knows what else.
They are making money off the war..
I mean understand that the “War” is the label slapped upon a whole lot else that is going on that they want to continue with.
Looking at the photo of Z with all that cash reminds me of seeing his family exit a private jet to go skiing in Switzerland at one of the most expensive ski resorts in the world. Then we had Tucker Carlson at a posh Swiss Alps resort reporting that the majority of clients were Ukrainian. We paid for that lavish lifestyle.
Carlson, a former Fox News host and a vocal opponent of US support for Ukraine, described his visit to a pricey resort in the Alps, where he discovered that “the whole town is Ukrainian.”
“All the visitors are Ukrainian, and they’re rolling into Hermes, and dropping a million dollars in an afternoon. It’s all through Europe you see this. The richest people are the Ukrainians,” he said, adding that the money they’re throwing around “belongs to me and you and every other American taxpayer.”
The contrast between the amount of assistance for Ukraine and the affluence of some Ukrainians in the EU has fostered resentment in countries such as Poland, which has welcomed nearly a million Ukrainian refugees since the conflict escalated in 2022. In an interview last October, Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said Poles are appalled by “the sight of young men from Ukraine, driving the best cars, spending weekends in five-star hotels.” Opinion polls suggest a shift in public sentiment against Ukrainians.

Here’s the scenario : You live in rural Ireland, one of the most peaceful places on planet Earth. It’s so quiet, you can hear the birds chirp. You know all your neighbours, many are family members. It’s a tight-knit community. One day, the government announced that they would open a migrant camp in your village and fill it with strange foreign men. State forces arrive, push you aside, and bully you in your own home. They erect walls and create a military like compound with CCTV pointing at you, not the migrants. Then the roads are blocked and you can no longer access parts of your village you frequented for decades. In the end, you’re left terrified and anxious, with hundreds of migrants wandering around your community calling you racist and acting like it’s their home now. This is reality in Ireland.

This is a concerted attack against all Western Christian nations to destroy and replace the Western Christian peoples. Orthodox Christian Russia and its allies are the only ones not being invaded and destroyed. Strange huh? Conspiracy? Some suggest this war against us goes back thousands of years.
Here’s Why Zelensky Really Came To America This Week
(MAGA MarK Dice and the Replacement Invasion, in their own words)
The Irish people unfortunately didn’t resist when they could have. They elected the globalist candidates, not the Irish ones. Until there is a huge resistance to all this, it won’t change. Where are the Irish who fought so bravely for generations to keep their homeland free from the British? Where are the Irish who love their country and its rich heritage? Seems they have gone away or are living in fear. Very sad.
Serious question…which came first? Globalists or abortion?
Aggie I’d say that if you look back at history, the creation of the Fed, the banker robbers, the Globalists came firt.
Abortion is a tool they use..
This one world government plan goes back much earlier than many understand..
That’s a good question. I’d suggest they may have come at about the same time. Check out http://www.the1916project.com.
The Globalists and the abortionists are at least cousins if not brothers and sisters.
NH and Heart of…I just had a brief memory of the global Christian outrage when Ireland approved the abortion issue…
“Any country that accepts abortion, is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants.” Mother Theresa. She had much to say on the topic.

I often wonder about NWO and who is really at the top of it all…there are so many pushing the agenda…but where, just where does that buck stop?
“PLANNED PARENTHOOD the linchpin of our decaying nation.”
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood was all in on using Eugenics to gain control over society and form a Superior race. Now planned parenthood is used as a tool to m*rder would be United States citizens, and children in the West. There is a very specific reason our birth rate has decreased rapidly, most of those reasons come from Democrat and radical leftist policies and ideologies.
They are now interested in diminishing Heritage Americans and Europeans and yes they want to “poison our blood”.
Communism has been around for a long time. The globalist use the exact same tactics. Abortion is all about promoting the destruction of family, morality, religion, and cultural standards. It falls under the majority of their goals but especially number 32. Support any Socialist movement to gain control over culture. Abortion has been their top priority in Every election going back decades.
******************
“Communist GoalsCongressional Record–Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

Globalists; although both show up about the same time.
Communism and Fabian socialism in the mid-late 1800’s. Abortion in the early 1900’s (Margaret Sanger) as means to control those determined to be undesirable.
Abortion (the modern political variant) became a means to their ends.
They have been rising up against this occupation… but they get arrested and beaten.
There are plenty of videos out there showing that they are NOT taking this.
It was also just part of the Cloward-Piven strategy!!! Overload the safety net social programs and collapse the country into chaos!! It didn’t work Praise the Lord! But the Democrats and left haven’t given up! Evil never rests it just mutates!!! JMO
It’s a Population Replacement.
Until we start seeing that, saying it, fully understanding what they are doing, THEN the people need to deal with this.
But the first thing is seeing it for what it really is..
THIS has a whole lot to do with why they now want to send their natives to war in Ukraine.. it’s a culling.
Our Civil War was a culling as well.
Madison Grant noted that in that one and WWI America’s finest were marching off to die
Yes there is an effort to destroy Western Christian nations.
That doesn’t make Zelensky, and the fact of his being Jewish (btw from all reports he’s a non-observant Jew who celebrates Christmas) responsible for yet another omnibus spending bill.
How long has this crazy spending been going on? Longer than the war in Ukraine, certainly.
Two different commenters, two different opinions about whether zelenskyy observes Christmas. I don’t really care what he believes but let’s please keep it to the facts because one of you has to be wrong.
Don’t remember if it was here or on another site, but a few days ago I viewed
a discussion about the amount of Somalian population that got dumped on the
state of Maine back when. On town starting with “L” in particular. Forgive my senior moments.
Anyway, Maine and Minnesota have one thing in common. Both states HAD the largest
amount of people of Scandinavian descent in the US. Prior to the immigration gift. This
predated Obama. Happpened under Bush. If you were nursing a grudge against white folks,
wouldn’t you want to do it against areas that you would consider the whitest of the whites?
Blond hair, blue eyes, maybe Aryan in some people eyes? So the areas that folks with a grudge
to have against persons of those descriptions got the gift. Way disproportionally to every where
else’s gift. Overseas, where did everybody hear about the rapes and immigrant problems worse
then anywhere else in Europe a few years back. Wasn’t it Sweden? Wouldn’t the existing population
also fit my little observation?
Welp, maybe Starship will fly today, launch window opens at 1830 EST . . . 🤞
Reagan’s Joke Lead To Red Alert | Flashback | NBC News – YouTube
A: We went there when the Left blasted Pres. Reagan for joking about bombing their beloved Soviet Union, and then celebrating when Barack Obiden attacked Moscow with drone bombings and ISIS-K cut-outs.
They really hate it when you leave the Communist Compound and won’t join their One World She-Man Club!
Drunk Russian? Too many Moscow Mules? Too many White Russians on the weekend?
On a serious note…we know they were listening….
Trying to stop the WEF/NWO Globalists EU from starting WWIII is a tall order that I believe President Trump can accomplish. Remember, they want to reduce the World’s population by 7 Billion. They are hellbent on achieving their goals and ruling over the ashes.

This right here could be the most important article you ever read- I’m very up on all this stuff and yet I’d never even heard about this: Black Box Warnings on pharmaceuticals- they can be pain killers, antidepressants, or sleep aids..
There are over 400 medications that are widely prescribed that have such dangerous side effects, that they get a Black Box warning on them.. which can lag behind.
Often, this serious warning doesn’t come until after the drug has been prescribed to millions of patients.
There are many people that don’t even know what this warning system is..
We, as a nation, have become far too reliant and accepting that our answers come in the form of pills.
We need a massive cultural change towards creating good health so that we don’t develop all these problems in the first place!
We need to understand that living a healthy life, prioritizing this, creating happiness in the life choices we make, this is all critical and necessary to good health.
Good health is the number one thing! What do you have if you are suffering with medical problems and forced into the clutches of this filthy ‘medical system’ we’ve got?
This article, about the dangers of some of these drugs, this is something that everyone should be aware of and yet most people are not.. it’s truly scary.
These people in Big Pharma work so hard to destroy us and make us life long customers, don’t become a victim !!
PLEASE read this and pass this information along to all your friends, family, loved ones, everyone..
Do not just blindly trust doctors, do not just take what they prescribe to you assuming that it’s safe, healthy.
Do not even assume that these people even know what they are doing!
I was just at Rite Aid yesterday and it appeared that the entire staff behind the counter were DEI hires..
We’re in a bad situation here with all this, being smart, informed, aware and alert is critical.. failing to do so could destroy your body.
The Drug Warnings You May Never See – Until It’s Too Late
https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/drug-warnings-you-may-never-see-until-its-too-late
Wish the author had listed more than the one drug
The list of all the drugs with a Black Box Warning would definitely be a good thing to get our hands on..
Even the ones pending, if that is possible..
Coprocessor is the only one I was prescribed that had a blackbox warning. I think it was providential that I heard a radio show on the dangers of this drug, that it causes, or can cause tendons to burst even after only one or two doses! As it turned out, I didn’t even need it.
Go do a ‘Brave’ search…up top I think its their ‘AI’….it gives a long list…you have click where it says ‘more’ in order to view them as listed….I don’t know if its all inclusive.
There is a very long list to get you started….the list includes antibiotics, heart and asthma meds…lots to view. Too long for me to ‘copy and paste’….
PSA—Before making any independent decisions on any meds one may be taking, ALWAYS discuss the issue, concerns etc, with your prescribing physician!!!!
Nope. Doctors generally know even less than nurses. Nurses have to worry about medication scheduling and interactions between meds.
Discuss your meds with your pharmacy or any pharmacist – probably good to even check in with more than one.
Trying to find a full list of the 400 drugs is difficult, and I’m using Brave not Gaggle.
Here’s a partial list.
https://pharmafactz.com/list-of-black-box-warnings/
The PDR – physicians desk reference – lists all the black box drugs. At least they used to, haven’t looked at one in awhile.
Just Say No To Doctor Dope
The biggest killer comes from diet. Almost all adult diseases come from metabolic syndrome, and almost all adults have that. You can avoid most of the adult illness by eating a diet of meat. Skip the fruit and veg. Just eat meat, fish, and eggs.
Ever heard of protein poisoning?
If you are going to eat a carnivore diet, it’s critical to know what that animal ate.
High quality protein, grass fed, as local as you can.. this would help.
You need to eat animals that ate all that you need to eat..
Cows eat the grass so we don’t have to.
Bubbles, my mythical bovine of the madcow era, agrees….
You also eat their vaccinations
and the steroids that make them fat.
Naw. Not on my diet which is three-quarters lb. of meat, several eggs and bacon, liver or sardines occasionally, salmon, bacon and enough fat to take you up to calorie requirements, usually between 1500- 1800 a day.
Good.
Protein poisoning is easily avoided. You just need to eat enough fat in relation to protein.
To have no healthy dairy or animal fats in your diet is another of the big lies told and pushed hard to destroy your health – brought to you compliments of the medical/pharma/big ag industrial complexes.
The seed oils they inundate us with, are the most destructive inflammation builders for your body there are. Chronic inflammation leads directly to diabetes, arthritis and several other disorders and chronic diseases.
Soybean oil is likely the worst of the seed oil offenders – I challenge you to find a food that doesn’t have that (or palm oil or some derivative of such) on the ingredient label.
That should tell you something right there about the quality of life they want us to live.
bad idea – load up on good fruit and veggies instead
Eating protein is never a bad idea. Over eating carbs is the bad idea. Our body is a machine that does very well eating 60% animal protein, 20 % animal fats and 20% “good carbs” such as certain fruits and veggies. Lay off the rice, pasta, breads processed sugar and starchy veggies such as potatoes.
Worse idea.
We dig our graves with our own teeth.
Glutamine is essential for strong immune system, gut health and reduces inflammation. One of the most important amino acids and the foods that have the most Glutamine are BEEF and EGGS. Now what 2 animals have been under attack and systematically killed here in the US? Cows and hens. Its obvious .
A list of some of the main black box warning medications is listed in this article:
https://www.singlecare.com/blog/black-box-warning
Now go back into your pharmacy and ask what is in your profile. See if they have your allergies and past adverse reactions listed. All I am hearing from mine is that their program has changed and they cannot put in the complete drug history. One has to be super vigilant and research the drug before accepting it.
The marketing of poison directly to consumers needs to stop. RFK Jr. needs to lead the drive to do away with pharma advertising on TV and put the choice of whether to prescribe or not back into the hands of professionals. As things stand now, consumers see an ad for the latest drug for whatever and run to their doctors, many of whom are only to willing to prescribe.
This would have the added bonus of seriously cutting into TV ad revenues. Where would legacy media be without ad dollars from Big Pharma?
If they are going to market to the public then they should not clam up when asked what is in their product. None of this it’s our secret formula. And schedule their drug reps to go in after business hours. Tired of them getting the attention. Actually have had doctors walk out of my appointment to speak with drug reps.
Took a drug for terrible headaches prescribed by a neurologist. Next day was being seen by a vascular surgeon for leg thrombosis (clot). First thing the doctor asked after finding out the name of the drug was; did I read the black box warning? Of course I did not. I didn’t have any headaches again for several months. Apparently the blood thinner helped relieve the insufferable headaches and clear up the clot issue.
Moral of the clot story: READ THE BLACK BOX WARNINGS YA’LL.
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (i.e. Cipro, Levaquine) are black boxed and have been for over a decade. They are broad spectrum, so are often prescribed for sinus infections and uti’s by ignorant physicians. They are accompanied by so many life altering adverse reactions that they are recommended for use only as a last resort.
Damage can occur immdiately, which at least makes the reaction more easily connected to the fluoroquinolone, but also can occur many months after the fact so it is very difficult to assign causation. Drs and pharmacists will deny any connection, despite growing data being available over the past 15 years or so.
Recent research (which is scarce) points to mitochondrial disfunction which can present in any number of ways, tendon/connective tissue tears and weakness, neurological damage, POTS, aortic dissection, various food intolerence, much more.
As with many antibiotics, fluoroquinolones crash your magnesium and B12 levels, which may result in some of the damage. I discovered this several years after the fact, and after some neurological damage had been done and syruggling to build muscle mass.
You are on your own. The medical profession operates on autopilot.
Don’t forget Dentists. They pushed Cipro on me. After refusing for the third time,I was sent on my merry way. ( drug free)
Was given Levoquin for a UTI. After two doses, I couldn’t bend my knee. Terrible drug.
One of my ‘favorites’ that doctors are always trying to pass off on me, are the bone density drugs that ‘may cause spontaneous thigh bone fractures’.
As if I would ever take that…

Biden Judge’s “Fishy” Order That Led to Supreme Court’s Ruling on $2 Billion in Frozen USAID Payments
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/biden-judges-fishy-order-that-led-supreme-courts/
Constitutional legal scholar Jonathan Turley weighed in after the Supreme Court’s ruling.
“The key here is that this was a controversial move to review a TRO, which is generally not reviewable. What is clear is that there are four justices who were still prepared to do so and would obviously be likely to grant review in the next round,” Jonathan Turley wrote.
this is not over yet.
We are dealing with extremely corrupt judges.
“Judge’s Failure To Recuse Himself From Trump Spending Freeze Case Shows How Court Is Rigged”
Excerpts:
McConnell has held an 18-year leadership role in Crossroads Rhode Island, a $31 million nonprofit that gets over half its funding from federal money. It received more than $18 million in 2023 according to its tax exempt 990 form, first reported by researchers at America First Legal (AFL).
McConnell is a member of the board of directors for Crossroads Rhode Island. Founded in 1894 as The Travelers Aid Committee of the YWCA, Crossroads now builds and manages low income housing. Much of its funding comes through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
AFL reported Crossroads Rhode Island received more than $128 million in federal and state funding by way of federal funding during McConnell’s time on the board.

This little foreigner twerp judge did not come up with this order on his own.
Coney gets confronted to his face. 🤡😆
How It’s Done!
What would happen if PDJT used the powers of his intellect, his personality and his office to call the people of the United States into a time of deep prayer and fasting? More than once, the two greatest leaders of ancient Israel, David and Solomon, used their power to do just that. God honored their efforts. Trump is no different. We got into the shape we’re in as a nation today by tolerating godless public school education and godless government. Trump could really stick it to’em good by calling for nationwide prayer and fasting–and using the powers of his God-given mandate to explain why it is very important.
.
Careful here. The President of the United States is not our religious leader.
“Godless public school education”? Would you be happy if your children were led in Muslim prayers by a Muslim teacher? I wouldn’t be. How about a Satanist. You can’t open the door to one without allowing the other.
.
David and Solomon were not religious leaders. But they knew Who it is that gives them their throne and their power. When things got bad enough, they called for repentance, prayer and fasting. You are confusing the issue. Prayer and fasting are a practical exercise in any moral or religious universe worthy of the name. PDJT is skillful enough to incorporate everybody in the United States in the exercise. Diversity, indeed!

How would you respectfully incorporate “everybody” in a country with First Amendment freedom of religion and many people who don’t believe in God, or don’t pray?
David and Solomon presided over a theocracy in which everyone had the same religion, and the laws of the religion and government were one and the same.
I’m not willing to risk setting a precedent that it would be okay for a teacher to lead my grandkids in Islamic prayer in school on the pretext that all religions are generically equal, but also for that same reason I’m concerned about possibly insulting Americans who are Buddhists, Hindus, Jainists, pantheists, Confucianists, agnostics… etc. as unworthy ot immoral.
.
I’m not talking about a schoolteacher. I’m talking about the President of The United States asking all the people who enjoy the Constitutional Liberty of this Republic to fast and pray to God. If their fasting and their prayers are sincere, whatever notion of “god” they may have will serve the purpose. The living God created all the souls. The living God is everybody’s closest relative. PDJT knows how to talk to everyone all at once and make whatever point he needs to make. God, the Father of us all, gave Donald John Trump a mandate to lead. Leading the people who live within the borders of this nation in prayer is genuine leadership.
He is not our religious leader (as Outside Counsel said). I think President Trump has done plenty to “lead” in faith by example. That is all he needs to do.
Don’t forget, there are MANY different faiths in this Country.
24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, Hebrews 10:24
.
Many governors and Presidents in our history have encouraged prayer.
.
Followers of Jesus walk by faith not religion.
.
Finally, I pray fervently that the USA never has a Satanist in the White House leading our nation as you imply.
No he didn’t imply that at all.
Agree but to me islam is a murderous cult and not a religion! JMO
Correct. It is radical ideology disguised as religion. Their holy book calls for the outright m*rder of nonbelievers. They are most definitely NOT the “religion of peace””

Public Schools Throughout The Nation Mandate Islamic Indoctrination

I agree. Where I lived, when my child was in school, we had far more churches than schools, but for some reason some people wanted lay teachers to lead the children in prayer every day.
We all had to suffer from some jerk on the so-called religious right complaining about having yoga featured at a high school health fair because “yoga is a religion” too.
He wanted religion in school, but only his personal religion.
“He wanted religion in school, but only his personal religion.”
I agree completely. When I was in high school the movie Footloose came out. Our principal was of a particular denomination that banned dancing. He tried to cancel our dances, homecoming and Prom every year. Thankfully, his efforts were thwarted by engaged parents.
Let them open their own schools. I believe we have the right to.
Very true. Here is a perfect example of your argument. They may not be promoting prayer to the Muslim “god” directly but they are certainly pushing their extreme radical ideology. Islam is not a religion. It is a political ideology disguised as religion.
“Exclusive: Qatar’s Influence Network In American Public Schools Has Unwitting Teachers Advancing Its Propaganda”
Excerpts:
Qatari funding of American public education programs could be part of the indoctrination scheme leading to protests on college campuses.
The Qatari government is funding teacher salaries, curriculums, and programming in school districts large and small across the country, allowing the small country to pursue a scheme of indoctrinating America’s youth.
That is what the first batch of public records requests from OpenTheBooks, reviewed by The Federalist, shows. The “cradle-to-graduation propaganda pipeline” includes grooming teachers to advance Qatari influence and talking points, angling soft cultural changes through language and field trip opportunities, and ultimately, as OpenTheBooks points out, creating “the next generation of activists ready to sew chaos on college campuses.”
“Parents and taxpayers have a right to understand what influences could be capturing classroom learning. While China and Russia dominate our global affairs concerns, the small nation of Qatar has become very sophisticated at influencing classroom curriculum, including for elementary school students,” OpenTheBooks CEO John Hart told The Federalist. “Well-meaning teachers who are looking for ways to better their classrooms can’t be expected to suss out foreign influence operations like this, but we can. Open the Books is going to take an exhaustive look at the extent of QFI’s grantmaking and the results.”

Thomas Jefferson knew that we should never let the camel get his nose under the tent. And said so.
Obama blew that up, massively. And in the process ruined Minneapolis aka “Little Somalia.”
President Reagan called for prayer at the beginning of his first term and it changed, CHANGED, the direction of our nation!!
Why did this devolve into teachers and prayer in schools??? President Trump can and should call for a national day of prayer for Americans, too! It would change the direction of our nation!
Ronald Reagan did the same, called Americans to pray, when he was elected President for his first term. It changed the direction of the nation.
This would be a decent start on anti-corruption laws — if the corrupt congress would do it:
No person in the below list shall receive any form of compensation during their term of service of for 15 years after, from any entity receiving federal funds in the form of grants or contracts:
Entities receiving government contracts or grants may not lobby, nor the entities nor its officers may contribute to any candidate or political party.
Penalties include repayment by the entity of all funds received during that period plus 20%, fines imposed on the prohibited government employee equal to benefits received plus 20%, and potential for prison.
Enforced by who? Patel & FBI?
Ban lobbying in DC as well.
See sentence under item 6:
Entities receiving government contracts or grants may not lobby, nor the entities nor its officers may contribute to any candidate or political party.

Legacy media is ignoring the “scam” allegations related to the NGO spending uncovered by DOGE. Musk is right to keep pressing here. This breaks things open nicely.
All of those idiot Dems holding up signs saying, “Elon Musk steals” was a big red flag that they’re all involved in this vast money laundering scam.
” a trillion dollar scam…..biggest ever” – Elon Musk Amen and Amen!!! Sky News gets it but not our IC run mockingbird msm!!!
Biggest scam in history was election fraud in 2020.
Climate change.

The biggest worldwide scam of all time I believe is “Climate Change”. If you take a look at all of these NGOs, non-profits, and universities getting funding there is a vast number of them laundering money in the name of climate change.
How they must laugh with glee knowing they based the biggest fraud and money grab in the History of the World on the premise that a substance like CO2 is destroying the planet, when it is an essential part of the respiratory ecosystem with plants that God gave us-a perfect system.
SCOTUS validates lawfare.

They effectively ruled that an INFERIOR court created by CONGRESS can make a NATIONAL injunction against THE POTUS (that’s the SCOTUS’ JOB!).
That’s why one of the dissenting judges said they’re STUNNED.
The dissent by Justices Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh was extremely strongly worded:
Does a single district-court judge who likely ***lacks jurisdiction*** have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars?
The answer to that question should be an emphatic “No,” but a majority of this Court apparently thinks otherwise.
I am stunned.
———
Today, the Court makes a most unfortunate misstep that rewards an act of ***judicial hubris*** and imposes a $2 billion penalty on American taxpayers.
The District Court has made plain its frustration with the Government, and respondents raise serious concerns about nonpayment for completed work. But the relief ordered is, quite simply, too extreme a response.
A federal court has many tools to address a party’s supposed nonfeasance.
***Self-aggrandizement of its jurisdiction*** is not one of them.
My favorite part of that? Alito calling money that was allocated for work already completed a “2 billion penalty on American taxpayers”. What an absolutely corrupt partisan f-cking hack.
This won’t play well in the polls.
The significance of this HAS VIRTUALLY NOTHING TO DO ABOUT THE $2 BILLION DOLLARS or the validity of paying it!
It’s about the jurisdiction of lower courts created by CONgress being allowed to override the executive branch!!!!!!!!!
Congress created those courts.
Maybe it is time to uncreate some of them.
If you can’t impeach them then just abolish the court.
You don’t seem to like President Trump and now you are calling one of the best SC Justices a slur.
What authority is claiming what work was completed? Has this been verified by an unbiased expert? Was there a legal contract?
The Trump administration needs to draft a sternly worded letter to the courts, referring to article two of the constitution. Administration of the executive branch is the sole responsibility of the president, not the court.
Administration of the executive branch is the sole responsibility of the president, not the court.
But the SCOTUS can overrule that on a national level on constitutional grounds. Unfortunately, this horrible decision sets a precedent that district courts can do that, too, and not necessarily on a constitutional basis.
How are people not getting this? Why else do you think a SCOTUS dissenter is “stunned”?
“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.
I prefer keep it simple. Tell the courts to butt out.
Technical difficulties. Can’t get Harriet Hageman’s video of today, re: constitution article 2, to post.
The Trump Administration also needs to thoroughly investigate every single person involved in receiving that $2 Billion and find out exactly where that money is going and to whom.
If SCOTUS is virtually giving permission for lower courts to override the President of the United States and the citizens of this country, then the AG and perhaps the fib need to investigate them all and then prosecute them for the crimes they are committing…fraud, money laundering, RICO, etc.etc.etc..
Lets wait and see…
Today’s C&C analysis brings things in focus – it looks like the USSC may have hoisted Judge Ali on his own petard. Here’s a sort excerpt:
“To be perfectly clear: my best guess, reading this order, is that all six conservative Justices were working together, and were not, actually, at odds. If I’m right, there is no daylight between them, and they are executing flawlessly. Remember— these are very smart and very politically savvy people.
Some folks will still remain troubled by the seven pages of dissenting opinion. But there’s no cause for concern.
The almost-over-the-top Dissent was as astonishing a bit of legal dressing down as I’ve ever seen. It was so surreal that it was almost performative. It punched almost cartoonishly hard. But it also laid out a treacherous legal roadmap for Judge Ali, charting a path he’ll fear to take but cannot ignore…”
.
That ACB looked perturbed at our VSGPDJT — because she was instructed by Roberts to opine the way she did — lines up with this view . . .
Whether or not she is ‘in the know’ re: that ‘plan’ is another question.

“All their strategies, including the demonizing of Jan 6, say, would have worked perfectly 30 years ago. Heck, they almost succeeded in making Obama a “great president” as they did with FDR, in the press and school books.
“But the information ecology has changed completely. And they can’t adapt. They keep falling on habit, because habit worked so well before.
“It’s a bizarre spectacle, like watching people doing stupid things, convinced there is a curtain in front of them, hiding what they’re doing. And unable to realize what there is is an entire crowd watching them.
“It’s like watching a mouse that was trained to touch a button and get a pellet, and who keeps doing it even though no treat is coming.”
FWIW: There isn’t an ‘Epstein List’
Amid the enduring scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, anticipation has coalesced around the so-called Epstein List—a purported catalog of influential men who abused the financier’s victims. The public fervor, amplified by frustration, targets figures like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi for their perceived inaction. Yet, the deeper, more unsettling reality may be that such a list does not exist, not because these men are innocent, but because the investigation was intentionally limited in scope by prosecutor Maurene Comey. Whether acting under the subtle guidance of her father, former FBI Director James Comey, or the broader influence of President Biden’s administration, Maurene Comey’s prosecutorial strategy strategically sidestepped implicating powerful figures. Consequently, over 500 known victims were excluded from the public record, their abuses concealed under the veneer of procedural efficiency.
Understanding the absence of an “Epstein List” requires examining how carefully tailored investigations can obstruct justice. Epstein’s associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, was convicted on trafficking charges, yet only four victims were highlighted—each directly linked to Epstein’s personal predations. Consequently, there was never an official compilation by investigators and prosecutors of the powerful men who abused the many other young girls trafficked by Epstein. The broader network, connecting hundreds more victims to influential predators, was deliberately omitted from public scrutiny. This prosecutorial myopia is reminiscent of historical efforts to safeguard the reputations of powerful elites, sacrificing comprehensive justice for political expediency.
Maurene Comey’s selection of a limited victim scope appears strategic. By focusing exclusively on Epstein’s personal transgressions, her team effectively shielded the identities of powerful men who benefited from Epstein’s depraved enterprise. Such calculated limitation raises the uncomfortable possibility of undue influence. The FBI, under James Comey’s tenure, has faced longstanding criticism for politicized investigatory choices; thus, skepticism toward Maurene Comey’s motives is well-founded.
Criticism toward Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, therefore, misses the mark. They cannot release what doesn’t exist; the so-called Epstein List was never compiled by investigators and prosecutors, deliberately obscured by prosecutorial design. If justice for Epstein’s numerous other victims is to be achieved, we must redirect our outrage toward establishing a genuinely independent investigative body. Such an inquiry, ideally led by figures like Patel and Bondi—known for their dogged independence and skepticism toward entrenched governmental corruption—would necessarily involve trusted investigators insulated from “deep state” pressures or extortion attempts.
Historical analogies abound: consider the Church Committee of the 1970s, established in response to systemic abuses by U.S. intelligence agencies. Like that era’s entrenched bureaucracies, today’s governmental institutions often resist transparency. Consequently, an Epstein-focused investigation demands similar rigor, independence, and immunity from administrative meddling.
The consequences of continued inaction extend beyond mere political corruption. The trafficking of vulnerable women by Epstein and Maxwell represents a profound moral atrocity. It is vital that legitimacy and trust be restored to institutions like the FBI and DOJ; yet, with the vast majority of Americans suspecting that influential men such as Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and Reid Hoffman have escaped accountability, such trust remains irreparably damaged. A genuine, transparent investigation could either clear their names if innocent or hold them accountable if guilty. Justice delayed is, indeed, justice denied; yet worse still is selective justice, where partial accountability masks deeper complicities.
Since the so-called ‘Epstein List’ doesn’t exist, it is misguided to direct our frustration toward Bondi and Patel, who cannot release what was never compiled. Instead, our energies must encourage them to spearhead a large-scale, independent investigation into the powerful men who have thus far evaded justice. This fresh investigation must boldly challenge systemic corruption without capitulation to power or political allegiance. Genuine justice demands identification, prosecution, and compensation from those who preyed upon Epstein’s hidden victims. These women, numbering in the hundreds, have faced enough betrayal; we must not compound their suffering through complacency or bureaucratic obfuscation.
The Epstein List, as widely imagined, will never surface—not because its subjects are fictitious, but because careful prosecutorial engineering ensured their anonymity. To rectify this grievous injustice, our collective energies must refocus. A comprehensive, independent investigation, untainted by partisan motives or governmental interference, must be our collective demand. Only then can Epstein’s many concealed victims receive the justice, acknowledgment, and restitution they unquestionably deserve.
https://amuseonx.substack.com/p/fwiw-there-isnt-an-epstein-list
There never was a list. Many of us already knew that.
That does not make us “misguided” or make us “frustrated”.
We weren’t promised “the list”. We were promised the Epstein files, which did exist, and Bondi claimed she had them, when she and Patel both had to know that what they had was old stuff that was already available and nowhere near the amount of records the FBI would have had.
I don’t know who this Amuse person is, but don’t talk down to me or tell me where I should direct my energies.
We have a corrupt LIAR as head of the DOJ, and her underling at the FBI is lying too, and don’t try to deflect from that.
Perhaps they need to look at the documents in the Florida case.
All they need to do to compile a list is watch the thousands of videos Epstein and Maxwell made of those powerful men and probably women engaging in sexual activity with sex trafficked young girls.
Today, 550 years ago, the greatest artist known to mankind was born — Michelangelo Buonarroti.

I’ve always found it interesting that all the ancient Egypt things are never really touched. Karnak, Abu Simbel, Sphinx, Egypt Museum, etc. I know they are huge and stone, but could be defaced. You know many want to destroy them. And yes, I know about the terrorism at Hatshepsut years ago.
I’ve always figured those are such tourist money makers those are solid red lines not to cross put down by any government. We will tolerate you, but mess with any of this and you will all be destroyed.
There’s an element of truth to that.
In Las Vegas, oil sheiks are the silent partners in a lot of the construction projects on The Strip. The Sultan of Brunei even has/had a property in SW Vegas where he and his friends could do business in an Islam-friendly environment (no alcohol etc …).
Many believe that is the reason jihadists have not set off a car bomb or some other terrorist act in the symbol of Western decadence. Must not bite the hand that feeds you.
Communism also has the goal of erasing art, culture, and history.
I guess many can all celebrate the judge’s ruling as many did here with the 2B ruling dissented by Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Thomas and Alito. Funny that these four would interpret against the argument, “It’s a completed contract! Pay up!!” What morons they must be. It was so simple.🤷🏻♀️
Obviously the legal brains, Sotomayor, Kagan and Kentanji Brown put them in their place, along with Constitutional stalwarts Roberts and Coney Barrett. It’s such a simple argument and case…..just like this one.
‘A federal judge in Washington on Tuesday issued an order to reinstate the chairwoman of an appeals board and said she can remain in her position until the end of her term, after she was fired by the Trump administration.’

Congress can now end all of this by stepping up and impeaching a few judges, eliminating the DC circuit and passing NGO reform for starters. This could be done this month if they so choose. But they won’t for obvious reasons. The people better get serious about cleaning up local voter rolls in 2026 or we will will take 10 steps backward.
All those things you mentioned would be good, and many may pass in the house, but I don’t see that the Senate has the votes to finalize an impeachment for a judge. Defunding the DC circuit might be possible and definitely defunding NGO’s is a possibility.
I’m sure she would be good at counting staples and paper clips.
If you find yourself in agreement with Judges Jumanji-Brown and the Soda Mayor, you may want to look at your life choices.
Who said it was completed? Show the work!
This is insane! Her term expired decades ago but she won’t leave…. President Trump should win this on appeal, but good grief! These judges really need to be brought to heel. They are acting in a very partisan manner and, I believe, they should be removed from the bench.
They will appeal and win. Sean Spicer’s firing and lawsuit that went before the High Court set the precedent. She will eventually be fired.
I follow some guy on X and this is what he had to say:

You missed the whole point of MY post.
Where did I say I had a problem with Sundance’s post?
I made a comment about Marco Rubio.
Don’t tell me what to do.
Rubio is a political opportunist who goes whichever way the wind blows.
Am loving the guy over on X….
And yet Congress is split 50/50? Fraudulent elections or gerrymandering, or both?
Yes, and the GOP/RNC were not paying attention to the down ballot races. More than several House seats stolen and at least two Senate seats stolen. Which brings us to the 2026 races. If PDJT doesn’t crack the whip and get personally involved in what the RNC is doing (or not doing) then he will lose the House. At that point, his term is over. If he loses the Senate, he will be convicted once impeached by the House. To think that the Dems/Left would ever compromise, just remember the Dems at the SOTU speech.
We lost at least 4 Senate seats in 2022 and 4 in 2024.
Too many democrat megalopali.
Fraudulent elections in 2020, 2022, and 2024 are mostly to blame. If elections were fair, the Senate would be at least R60-D40 and the Housr in 2024 would have 10 more R candidates.
We will win in 2026. I pray some good MAGA Candidates can actually achieve victory in 2026.
The temporary status for 240k Ukrainian refugees is about to be revoked.

It is one thing for the administration to revoke parole for about 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans as soon as this month.
It is another thing to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict.
I am not sure how this can be done once legally obtaining a status to stay in the US, but nothing surprises me anymore.
There you go again…
The Polish citizens and government are extremely disgusted with many of the Ukrainian refugees they allowed in.
The contrast between the amount of assistance for Ukraine and the affluence of some Ukrainians in the EU has fostered resentment in countries such as Poland, which has welcomed nearly a million Ukrainian refugees since the conflict escalated in 2022. In an interview last October, Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said Poles are appalled by “the sight of young men from Ukraine, driving the best cars, spending weekends in five-star hotels.” Opinion polls suggest a shift in public sentiment against Ukrainians.

Hilarious! 😂
Sick, twisted, and extremely funny.
Their little signs that said, “Elon Steals” while President Trump was reading aloud the waste, fraud, and abuse was extremely telling. Do they believe Elon is stealing the fraudulent funds funneled to their friends and family? If that’s the case I hope EM continues to “steal” their fraudulent funds.
Let the fun begin.

An observation and rhetorical question. Why don’t we ever see boys wanting to be on girls sports teams, basketball, volleyball, track in inner city schools? I’m guessing this gender “issue” would be equally distributed among races and ethnicities.
My answer is because the boy would not survive trying to be on a girls sports team at an inner city school. The “people” pushing this issue are avoiding that because their narrative would be destroyed from several directions.
A similar issue, not trans men but.female athletes taking steroids arose in the 1970’s, although it seems somewhat forgotten today. The East German women swimmers were being fed steroids to enhance their performance for the glory of the state, and it worked. From 1973 through the late 80’s East German women dominated sport with world records and wins in every major competition. American swimmer Shirley Babashoff was ostracized by the press for speaking out after the 1976 Olympic games.
Women who are in sports are disqualified or even banned if they test positive for steroid use now. Yet a trans man , born with natural testosterone can compete? The cheaters will always find a way to cheat. Many in sports compete for the best of reasons but those who cheat ruin it for everyone.
https://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/news/an-agonizing-anniversary-50-years-since-the-doping-fueled-rise-of-east-germany/
Drug testing protocol was not in place for every competitor at that time but other athletes knew what was happening.
This brings up the Lance Armstrong cycling, the Mark McGuire/Barry Bonds issue in baseball, this issue has been litigated in many sports for longer than we care to remember. Athletes want to win more than they want to be a healthy sportsmanlike player.
I think this is a “white thing” pushed on young boys by their liberal white mothers and beta dads (if they are even around).
Perhaps it is a ‘Commie’ thing?
Am thinking even the boys don’t want to play against Angel Reece? She dangerous!
The Republican-led Senate voted Wednesday to confirm Mr. Todd Blanche as deputy attorney general.

Such a brilliant move by the president to even further out them all with the “no mas” on Ukraine.

EXCLUSIVE: Was President Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Crooks part of a larger conspiracy? (8:04)

Uh, I can see why this would be. Didn’t do so well with your own kid.
Well, they ARE Crooks
OK, I did chuckle.
Was President Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Crooks???
I don’t believe the official story about this – IDK why people just accept this bit about the guy they say shot Trump being the actual guy who shot Trump.
Because they’d never lie about the identity of an assassin?
I have a major concern after watching the elected officials from NM since the election. They did a redistricting a couple of years back to cancel the votes of the counties in the SE portion of the state. SE NM is Trump country. When Trump toured the state after 2020, he met with the folks up in Ruidoso. The Republicans here did not publicize his visit. Read about it on a Conservative media site as the gathering was happening. What will happen to us the next four years? Will we pay the price from both sides since we are caught in the middle? To say move is easy. It doesn’t fix the problem. We deserve unbiased representation.
MARCH 06 2025
A European air force of 120 fighter jets could be deployed to secure the skies from Russian attacks on Kyiv and western Ukraine, according to a plan drawn up by military experts.
The Guardian reports that Sky Shield would be a European-led air protection zone operated separately from NATO to halt Russian cruise missile and drone attacks on cities and infrastructure, potentially operating as part of the “truce in the sky” proposed by Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky.
It would cover Ukraine’s three operating nuclear power plants and the cities of Odesa and Lviv, but not the frontline or the east of the country – and, according to a newly published paper, it could “achieve greater military, political, and socioeconomic impact than 10,000 European ground troops”.

Before the urgent EU leader’s summit in Brussels, Hungary said it would block any support for Ukraine in the joint statement and the extension of the sanctions against Russia.
Budapest has already blocked the security guarantees for Kiev.
European leaders convene in Brussels after Donald Trump’s administration suspended all military aid to Ukraine and put on audit the US Agency for International Development (USAID), halting its activity for at least 90 days.
Europe and the US are the largest donors of Ukraine since 2022

Volt Party pushes to strip Hungary’s EU voting rights
Members of Parliament from the Volt party have proposed stripping Hungary of its voting rights in the EU due to its blocking of joint decisions.
According to reports from the Politico portal, the plan is now set to be presented to European leaders.
According to Politico, the document consists of nine points, including a proposal to appoint Kaja Kallas as the full-fledged Minister of Foreign Affairs of the EU.
Proposals for changes in the EU
The document includes proposals for establishing a joint European army and revising EU treaties to introduce new defense competencies and prepare for the Union’s expansion.
Hungary has been repeatedly criticized in the European Parliament for violating the rule of law and democratic standards..
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/volt-party-pushes-to-strip-hungary-s-eu-voting-rights/ar-AA1AjFVC
That should be grounds for an immediate release from the EU. Give Hungary back its autonomy.
Meanwhile, their respective Homelands are a fetid brew of toxic and highly combustible Global Jihad… history writes itself, I guess…
People seem to forget that little detail–that those weapons are virtually unstoppable and devastatingly lethal. And only Russia has them. As of today, no country other than Russia is considered to have fully operational hypersonic missiles on par with their current arsenal, particularly the Avangard and Kinzhal missiles; while the United States is developing its own hypersonic weapons, they are still in testing phases and not yet deployed at the same level as Russia’. SO bluster on EU
============================
The next step is basic trust in the circumstances in which the negotiations are taking place.
Ukrainians, all Europeans, Americans, every human heart in the world that does not agree with the war – we all need to feel that the Russians are not deceiving us.
The release of prisoners could serve as a means of establishing basic trust.
This should be based on the understanding that any truce or trust-building measures can only serve as a prologue to a full and fair settlement, to a comprehensive agreement on security guarantees and the end of the war
Ukrainians truly want peace, but not at the cost of giving up Ukraine. The real question for any negotiations is whether Russia is capable of giving up the war.
Be sure that Ukraine will share all the details of peace plans and the talks process with all of Europe. Every European nation that helps must be on board on the path to peace.
I urge you to continue supporting the position that any issues related to Ukraine’s security should be resolved with Ukraine’s participation, just as any issues related to the security of your nations or Europe as a whole should be resolved with your participation.
Only this can guarantee peace on the continent and respect for the interests of all European states.
That is why we are trying to ensure that European interests are represented. Anything that affects the security of Europe should be resolved with the participation of Europe.
Every day and every night, we must protect lives. Russian ballistic missiles continue to strike our cities.
Shelling at the front continues, and Russian sabotage groups are still trying to enter our territory across the border in Sumy and Kharkiv regions.
Moscow is not reducing its investment in death, increasing its army, and making no pauses in trying to overcome sanctions.
Russia now has 220 brigades with war experience, and in five years, they will bring this number to 300. We must respond to this by taking care of lives now, tomorrow, and in the future.
I welcome the European Commission’s efforts to rearm Europe.
The ReArm Europe Plan is the right initiative.
The defense funds under this European Plan should strengthen all parts of Europe, and I call for a significant part to be allocated to arms production in Ukraine – our industrial capabilities are the fastest and most relevant to the current security threats.
I welcome the efforts of my European colleagues to increase national defense spending and modernize national armies.
Everyone in Europe needs this. When we agree on the format of the Armed Forces of Europe, this format will rely on the strength of national armies and on the experience of deploying partner contingents in Ukraine, which is what we are working on now.
I welcome the investments of all partners in the defense industry, both in Ukraine and in your countries.
The industrial base of Europe must grow. Europe should become the place where the most technologically advanced and effective weapons in the world are produced.
This is not a fantasy if Europeans really set themselves this goal.
I’m grateful for the 16th EU sanctions package, and we must continue applying this pressure.
We need a 17th sanctions package.
These sanctions must remain in place until Russia stops the occupation. I am aware that a special European financial instrument for Ukraine’s resilience is being developed—I urge you to expedite this process.
In these circumstances, it is needed to speed up the work of our teams in the negotiations on Ukraine’s membership in the EU.
Currently, the work on the clusters is blocked without any rational reason. We need common sense, we need to unblock the work on clusters, and this can be done at the leadership level.
I am grateful for all the support, and Ukrainians really appreciate that in a time of such great emotions in global politics, European integrity is preserved and Europe is truly trying to do the right thing.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian and American teams have resumed work, and we hope that next week we will have a meaningful meeting.
Ukraine has been seeking peace since the very first moment of the war, and we have always stated that the war continues solely because of Russia.
Ukraine is not only ready to take the necessary steps for peace, but we are also proposing those steps.
I ask for the support of Ukraine and the European leaders who are helping to pave the way for peace. This is what I addressed to the European Council.

As more blacks begin waking up to the decades long scam of the Dem party and living on the Dem plantation, Dems realized they need a replacement class, hence, the illegal invasion (plus also serving the Cloward-Piven dismantling strategy).
I’ve always read about the rumor (but have never seen the authority) that when LBJ signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, he purportedly boasted he’d have “those N@**#@s voting Democrat for the next 200 years”.
Maybe someone might know more about the sourcing of that.
Yes, LBJ did say that, I was in high school back then and heard it with my own ears.

LITTLE RED HENS ☙ Thursday, March 6, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠
SCOTUS outmaneuvers Judge Ali; Dem senatorial embarassment; progressives meltdown over Trump; Dem chaos nears collapse; ActBlue under fire; EU scrambles; Trump’s strategy unfolds; viral ex-Dem video.
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/little-red-hens-thursday-march-6
Another great C&C analytical read. Recommend it – basically, they’ve hoisted Judge Ali on his own petard, with brilliant legal maneuvering. A quick excerpt:
“To be perfectly clear: my best guess, reading this order, is that all six conservative Justices were working together, and were not, actually, at odds. If I’m right, there is no daylight between them, and they are executing flawlessly. Remember— these are very smart and very politically savvy people.
Some folks will still remain troubled by the seven pages of dissenting opinion. But there’s no cause for concern.
The almost-over-the-top Dissent was as astonishing a bit of legal dressing down as I’ve ever seen. It was so surreal that it was almost performative. It punched almost cartoonishly hard. But it also laid out a treacherous legal roadmap for Judge Ali, charting a path he’ll fear to take but cannot ignore…”
I was surprised that so many “bright” minds on the right did not understand what happened here. I’m no fan of Coney Barrett or Roberts but the hatred directed at Barrett yesterday and the ridiculous claims she stared daggers at President Trump from the outrage mob was unfortunate.
I have become increasingly disappointed with the right. So many have become that which they proclaim to fight against.
If people would stop and think before emoting there would be a lot less angst.
U.S. Suspends Costly Deportation Flights Using Military Aircraft
Trump administration had used C-17s to fly migrants abroad and to Guantanamo Bay
March 5, 2025
https://archive.fo/o2Pcm#selection-5745.0-5817.13
The last military deportation flight was March 1, officials said. The Pentagon said Tuesday that no such flights were scheduled for the next 48 hours. A flight scheduled for Thursday was canceled, a defense official said. The pause on such flights could be extended or made permanent, officials said.
The Trump administration has conducted roughly 30 migrant flights using C-17 aircraft and about a dozen on C-130, according to flight-tracking data. Destinations included India, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, Honduras, Panama and Guantanamo Bay.
Three deportation flights to India cost $3 million each. Some flights carried a dozen people to Guantanamo at a cost of at least $20,000 per migrant, the Journal’s analysis showed.
A standard U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement flight costs $8,500 per flight hour, according to a government webpage. Former ICE officials told the Journal the figure is closer to $17,000 per flight hour for international trips.
It costs $28,500 per hour to fly a C-17, which is designed to carry heavy cargo and troops, according to U.S. Transportation Command, which provided the aircraft.
Cheap at any price.

The Biden regime funneled nearly $20 billion dollars into newly founded environmental groups, according to the New York Post.
Kamala Harris handed over a check for nearly $7 billion to a group called Climate United Fund.
The group does not appear in the IRS’s charities database, and has no federal filings.
The non-profit fund had only been incorporated five months before the check was handed over.
The cash for the charity came from a huge $370 billion climate slush fund of taxpayer money overseen by Clinton political consultant John Podesta.

Draft of Trump order seeks to eliminate Department of Education: report
Trump has previously stated that he wants to dismantle the Department of Education, saying it has failed students
March 5, 2025
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/draft-trump-order-seeks-eliminate-department-education-report
President Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order, possibly Thursday, aimed at abolishing the Department of Education, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The newspaper cited several people briefed on the matter and reviewed a draft of the order.
It directs newly sworn Education Secretary Linda McMahon to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Education Department” based on “the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.”
“The experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars—and the unaccountable bureaucrats those programs and dollars support—has failed our children, our teachers, and our families,” the draft order reads.
Shortly after taking her position, McMahon said she would “send education back to the states.”
Trump has long talked about dismantling the Department of Education, saying it has failed America’s students.
“It’s a big con job,” the president said in November. “They ranked the top countries in the world. We’re ranked No. 40, but we’re ranked No. 1 in one department: cost per pupil. So, we spend more per pupil than any other country in the world, but we’re ranked No. 40.”
He’s right, and it’s a good idea to shut down the Department of Education.
It’s what comes after that concerns me.
I don’t think we have the best minds working on this.
I don’t mean Linda McMahon, she has a fine mind and is doing the job she was asked to do.
How in the world would you even know we don’t have the best minds working on this? Kind of ridiculous to state isn’t it?
They will never be able to eliminate without Congress. Death by a thousand cuts here…………
Why does the DOE have contracts with service providers who practice predatory lending? We are victims.
https://protectborrowers.org/advocates-celebrate-first-of-its-kind-class-action-settlement-in-bodor-v-maximus/
This is part of the reason that Biden tried to “forgive” loans, so the criminality would go un-investigated.
The Biden family has a long criminal history with bad lending practices.
Why is the Trump administration not correcting the unfair exclusion of a particular category of borrower from debt relief through bankruptcy?
The reasons given are not reasons at all, but excuses, because any relief granted would be on a case-by-case basis, and individuals claiming inability to pay the moment they graduated could be handled by making a simple rule.
Americans are getting a double whammy, because foreign students are being subsidized and also getting fraudulent degrees, while Americans who did pursue those degrees are struggling to repay loans without the kind of salary that they could afford to pay them back with, and they cannot even discharge their debt through bankruptcy even though they can’t afford to pay their debt off.
Don’t anybody come at me with the ons who can afford to pay their loans but don’t want to. Those are the ones who would not be allowed to declare bankruptcy. That’s how it works.
Unfortunately:
LOL, maybe tomorrow then?
Just to clarify…
Sorry for the dup Winston.
You were quicker to the draw!
When U.S. education was some of the best in the world,
in approximately the 90’s there were sympathetic designed dem political tv advertisements to raise funds for public education, saying in essence “It’s for the kids” [ but they did not say money was for something else ]
Incremental deterioration via funding for education – not – being ‘for the kids’ (it for bureacratic greed and control via applying leverage to quid pro quo…
i.e.
local school gets funding from DC (taxpayers), if the school buys books from ___
local school gets funding from DC (taxpayers), for buses, if the school buys character counts materials (not virtue) from ___
local school gets funding from DC (taxpayers), for computers, if the school buys software from ___
etc.)
Flash forward to 2024, transparently,
“We’re (lower) ranked No. 40 (in education, after being at or near the top, several decades ago),
but we’re ranked very high, No. 1 in one department: cost per pupil.
So, we spend more per pupil than any other country in the world,
but we’re (lower) ranked No. 40 (in educating our children for their future).”
So, whom is providing an honest, first hand, explanation of the deterioration that happened
(inefficient bureaucratic largess, and grifting via ineffective jobs that do not help children to learn truths),
for decades? nea? dept of education?
We have done better – in earlier decades.
Apparently technology, teaching, is not keeping up – with truths?
[ and yes, there are some good exceptions – but no where near enough to move the No. 40 ranking, back up to No. 1 ]
p.s.
Some schools are already finding the limiting cell phone usage during school time – helps students to focus on class, and to interact with other students, first hand.
Oh, good grief – the censure brings out more tomfoolery. Singing a hymn as if they’re demonstrating against 1950s segregated lunch counters. Emotional arrested development on full display.
Or like generals, always fighting the last war.
That’s kind of sick.
The method or NPR making hilariously irrelevant complaints about it?
Anyway, in South Carolina, “A person convicted of a capital crime and having imposed upon him the sentence of death shall suffer the penalty by electrocution or, at the election of the convicted person, by firing squad or lethal injection, if it is available at the time of election…”
I’ve read that some states are having issues with lethal injections, so that best choice may not have been available in which case I think that being shot in the heart is much preferable to being FRIED in the electric chair.
BTW: “Thomas Edison secretly financed the development of the electric chair to discredit his rival George Westinghouse by demonstrating that Westinghouse’s alternating current was dangerous. Although Edison publicly opposed capital punishment, he aimed to associate Westinghouse’s technology with lethal outcomes to undermine his competition in the electrical industry.”
Edison wanted a STUPID for various reasons I won’t get into DC power distribution system whereas Westinghouse wanted the AC system we use today. The electric chair uses high voltage AC. He also electrocuted a large elephant with high voltage AC which was filmed and can be found on-line, but I won’t link to it because it’s horrible to see.
The mind of the NPR person who thought up the article.
Once NPR’s federal funding is withdrawn, they must remove ‘Public’ from their name.
Any nominations for a name that accurately reflects their bias?

I’m pretty confident everyone involved will be using hearing protection.
There will definitely be some ventilation going on
Yesterday, March 5th, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in Bufkin vs Collins, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the ruling was 7-2 with Thomas writing the majority opinion (Gorsuch and Jackson were the dissenters).
Link to the ruling, 40 pages pdf: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/23-713_jifl.pdf
Two veterans filed with the Veterans Administration, one for PTSD benefits and the other for an increase in his PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) benefits and were rejected so sued.
This lawsuits they filed claimed the VA didn’t properly apply the ‘benefit of the doubt’ standard when considering the decisions to approve or deny their claims. They lost in all the lower courts, and also lost in the Supreme Court.
The wording for the ruling is all technical references to the various regulations and rules and standards the VA uses and the wording in the laws that Congress has passed for the VA to use when determining awarding veterans PTSD benefits.
But, hey, we have billions for Ukraine. You know those sneaky veterans, always looking to game the system. /s
.
(Interesting mix of Justices. Dissent by Jackson and Gorsuch.)
There is a lot of abuse with the PTSD disability claims. Read between the lines.
Petitioner Joshua Bufkin served in the Air Force from late 2005 to early 2006. (A few months, doing nothing!) Although Bufkin intended to join the military police, he never received a job assignment because he could not pass the required training classes.Bufkin blamed his poor performance on marital stress. He reported that his wife opposed his service and had threatened to commit suicide if he stayed in the military. Bufkin ultimately requested and obtained a nonprejudicial hardship discharge. Seven years later, Bufkin sought disability benefits from the VA. He claimed that his military service caused several psychiatric conditions, including PTSD…
Petitioner Norman Thornton served in the Army from 1988 to 1991. (Doing what?) After being honorably discharged, Thornton applied for and received benefits for an “ ‘undiagnosed illness.’”… Years later, he sought additional benefits for service-connected PTSD. The VA granted… initially rating his condition as 10% disabling and later increasing the rating to 30%… In 2015, Thornton applied for another increase… 50%. Thornton then sought an additional increase to 70% and underwent another medical evaluation, but the regional office maintained the 50% rating…
.
Thanks for posting the details! Clearly, the first guy’s case was bogus. For the second guy, it looks like he was treated quite fairly.
That struck me too -the mix of Justices; didn’t see that combo of Jackson/Gorsuch on my spreadsheet 🙂

USAID funneled MILLIONS to Black Lives Matter through Tides Center
Tides granted more than $12.6 million from its Black Lives Matter Support Fund to BLM Grassroots following the death of George Floyd.
7 Feb 2025
https://thepostmillennial.com/usaid-funneled-millions-to-black-lives-matter-through-tides-center
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) issued a $24.7 million grant to the George Soros-funded Tides Center, which then funneled millions of taxpayer funds to the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. Tides granted more than $12.6 million from its Black Lives Matter Support Fund to help support BLM Grassroots during the height of the racial justice riots following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. BLM Grassroots is an organization that works with local Black Lives Matter chapters and similar racial justice groups.
The discovery was revealed after the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation sued the Tides Center in California court last year, accusing the nonprofit of withholding $33 million in donations to the foundation. Tides was forced to issue a clarification that the funds were intended for BLM Grassroots, which is a distinct organization separate from BLMGNF, and other racial justice groups. Tides, which manages roughly $1.4 billion in assets, said the amount awarded was $12.6 million, according to a statement issued to Bloomberg.

Hopefully everyone in the picture has been fired.
I remember at the time when the first of the footage was released (body cam or maybe bystander)… I could have sworn that Floyd popped something into his mouth as the cops opened the door and were about to drag him out. It made sense to me that hw would have tried to hide the drugs that he just bought or whatever…
That’s in the EXCELLENT and DAMNING documentary “The Fall of Minneapolis” shown in a freeze frame taken from one of the arresting cop’s body cams WHICH THE JURY NEVER SAW.
In it, you can see white fragments on his tongue, almost certainly drugs he was swallowing.
I watched in real time on YouTube as it happened.
We were told from minute one, that it might not be what it looked like, from the video that people were seeing.
Jack’s coming back with old tweets he made.
Hopefully these RAILROADED cops, Derek was nearly knifed to death in prison, get out with DOJ help and SUE THE LIVING F*** out of everyone involved in that.
Ashli Babbitt’s killer in what would NEVER, EVER be judged to be a lawful killing in a police inquiry should also, finally suffer some legal consequences before any statute of limitation runs out for anything he should be charged with.
BTW, I watch some modern cop shows like “Body Cam” and I see that pinning method used against perps resisting arrest QUITE OFTEN.
The latest news from EU and NATO is that they are going to send their own airplanes to cover the skies of Ukraine means that the EU are now officially participating in the war against Russia. In my opinion this is a disaster for the whole of Europe..
To what end? All for the sake a belligerent, and now unelected, leader who is prepared to force his people and his country into oblivion. Something has to be deadly wrong going on in these governments.
I do hope that President Trump removes the US in any way shape or form from the this coming total destruction of the West as we know it.

I like his way with words.
You can hear Bannon laughing in the background. I did, too. “Tell us what you REALLY think of her, Mike.”
I just looked at a photo of her and she’s not morbidly obese nor does she look like a slob, so methinks Mike really dislikes her for her policies in this case which I don’t blame him for.
There’s a lot of economic “truisms” that are just assumed to be correct. Trump is showing them they are wrong in so many ways. The funny (but sad) thing, is they can’t think outside the box enough to look at what actually happened in the last Trump admin just a few short years ago.
If you want to know what is going to happen economically, the best thing to do is to look at what happened the last time we did the same thing. Biden duplicated Carter’s actions and duplicated his economy. 100% predictable. Trump is duplicating Trump’s actions and will duplicate Trump’s economy.
NO, you just need a president that isn’t part of the FARCE about illegal immigration control spewed by the UniParty for the sake of their corporate buddies wanting cheap, hard working labor that can’t unionize or complain about work conditions whose food and medical supplementation is supplied by the taxpayer.
This may have been posted before. Some of the impersonations are funny even though you won’t agree with the interpretation.
I’m not alone in noticing the double standard for proper attire in the Oval Office, I see.
Elon is not the leader of a country, he’s POTUS’ tech support – vastly different job descriptions with unequal etiquette standards.
Elon is not begging our POTUS for Billion$ more in $contribution$ to kill people with after receiving many tens of billion$ to fund his corrupt gov’t.”s unnecessary war carnage; the two men have a very different purpose for being there.
“Double Standard” is another poor excuse for denigrating Trump & his agenda – pathetic projection, actually.
If the usurping-progressivist-socialists didn’t consistently have Alinsky-esque double standards themselves, they’d have no standards at all, btw.
I can agree to disagree about all this – it isn’t relevant in context.
Vanity Fair is seeking to create a divide between Rubio and the president, even trying to use the look on his face as evidence or something. I’m not sure what they are hoping to accomplish here.
Trump, Ukraine, and the Meme-ing of Marco Rubio
Why the secretary of state’s stone-like posture during the Zelenskyy meltdown might have been exactly as telling as observed.
While Rubio was quick to get in line in the days after the Zelenskyy showdown, the historic confrontation did indeed reveal a fault line inside the administration: Rubio is privately frustrated that Trump has effectively sidelined him. According to four prominent Republicans close to the White House, Rubio, who has been a Russia hawk and Ukraine supporter, has told people he is upset by his lack of foreign policy influence despite being, on paper at least, the administration’s top diplomat. One of the sources said they felt as though Rubio is often the last to know when foreign policy decisions are made in the White House.
According to Republicans I spoke with, Rubio’s unhappiness with Trump was brewing before Zelenskyy’s visit went sideways. Two of the sources said Rubio was caught off guard when Trump appointed nine foreign policy “envoys” with high-profile assignments such as ending the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
“The envoys all have offices in the White House,” one of those sources said, which gives people the impression that the envoys have more access to Trump than Rubio. During his Senate confirmation hearings in January, Rubio said, “The way this will work, and how I anticipate it will work, is these envoys work for the president in coordination with us.”
The source added that Rubio also disapproved of Trump’s decision to revoke former secretary of state Mike Pompeo’s government security detail.
