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.

This might be one of the most cringe-inducing flip-flops I’ve ever seen. This guy went from nonstop hand-wringing about Trump wrecking relations with Germany and bullying poor Zelensky to now groveling with a birth certificate of Trump’s grandfather.
If our economy is held together with gum and tape, Germany’s is held together with starch. I think fear plays a lot in this story.
Stephen Miller was on Charlie Kirk’s show. Go to 29:05 for the Miller part. He goes into depth on the content of the BBB.
http://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1nAKEgQMEvlJL
That is VERY eye-opening! All those ‘big issues’ regarding what the BBB is actually covering and about, are misrepresentations and outright lies.
So sad and tiresome, that so many people are getting sucked into all of that…
Probably battered conservative syndrome – we can’t look objectively at what’s truly written in this BBB and accept this one time opportunity to actually win!
It can’t be broken up into separate bills, as that would then require Dem votes to pass any part of it – Dems who would be demanding pork to even consider looking at it.
The only thing the BBB is financing is our sovereignty, with the border walls and increase in ice agents to work on getting illegals out and back where they belong. There have been NO Ice agent hires since they were first created.
Can you not put even a little trust in PDJT to be looking out for what’s best for our country? He didn’t give up his life to have his life destroyed, be abused and then aim to destroy our country just for a fun time!
If not trusting PDJT, can you not look at God saving his life in Butler, PA and trust God has His best in mind for us and our country? God is not playing a cruel joke on us!
Immigration issues are the last thing our lovely dissenting libertarians have concerns about. They’re only worried about their graft and money continuing to fill their pockets.
The whole AI big to-do is all about an end-run around California and them taking control of everything regarding AI.
All those tech companies that work in all the AI development, creation and marketing are BASED, and so are controlled, there.
California wants to pass laws regarding AI tech that’s controlled only by California edicts and laws – and all will go through and be governed by what California allows.
Wow, what could go wrong with that?
I think that Stephen Miller needs to be seen everywhere explaining this bill. So many people have gotten it wrong and freaking out over it, despite people trying to explain it. Stephen Miller does a fantastic job in this regard.
So it would appear that Elon is wrong too?
Elon is upset because his EV tax break is gone with this bill.
Ron Johnson pointed out on Charlie Kirk yesterday that he was very wrong on one aspect of the bill. I wish I could remember what point. It was a fairly significant one.
Bingo!
Here’s more including some from Stephen Miller.
In black and white it outlines why some things are not in BBB.

That is a very good and informative article. Those are most of the points Stephen Miller described on the Charlie Kirk podcast.
It’s great…
Need help here. Does anyone know what department at the University of. of Michigan the 2 arrested Chinese (arrested for attempting to smuggle in a very bad fungus) were working/studying in?
A number of things are fishy here. I read that they were looking to “study” the fungus at the university. Why University of Michigan? The only “departments” I could find outside of the typical Biology, Microbiology, etc. departments was Plant Biology.
Michigan is not an Ag school and what comes to mind in an Ag school would be departments such as Plant Pathology or Crop Science/Agronomy.
Were they looking to study at Michigan as this was a dangerous to certain crop(s) fungus and the CCP did not want the work done in China? Did they want there to be an “accident” in the lab and it would infect crops here is the US?
Overall, the University of Michigan has a lot of explaining to do. Recall, the “student” who voted in our elections and fled back to China?
Something has to be done to properly vet who all of these international students are. These universities say it is to have a “diverse and global” enriching student population. No, it is simply for the $$$. If proper vetting (which should be paid by the student visa applicant) means, only 10% of the number of international students at universities in the US, so be it.
THIS – Fusarium graminearum – is an ” OPPORTUNISTIC ” fungus that DOES Infect Humans and Livestock along with Crops.
Here are Several Articles about it –

Thank you to both sync and quinn for the info. I did not realize this goes back over a year. Interesting that this news came out now. Sounds like dangerous stuff.
There is a fusarium wilt that attacks tomato plants and there is nothing one can do about it. You have to throw them away and plant next years crop somewhere else.

I’m not surprised with the fifth column media in this country.
Michigan claims the students were doing unauthorized research that they did not know about.
Of course, Whitmer is a dumb as a rock, almost as sentient as FJB, so I’m not surprised in the least.
MSM, legacy media, is hiding this one for sure.
FBI “Prohibited Access” and Nellie Ohr
TECHNO FOG
JUN 05, 2025
“In May 2019, the FBI received a Congressional criminal referral from Mark Meadows alleging Nellie Ohr gave knowingly false statements in her testimony before Congress regarding (1) Nellie’s testimony that she had no knowledge of the DOJ’s Trump/Russia investigation; (2) her testimony that she had no knowledge of the DOJ’s “investigations on Russia.”
The fact that Nellie Ohr, wife of senior DOJ official Bruce Ohr, lied to Congress has been essentially established for a number of years. The Congressional referral discusses emails from the DOJ asking Bruce Ohr if his wife could speak with DOJ officials regarding her Russia research. Bruce asked Nellie if she would speak to the DOJ, to which Nellie emailed “Sure!” Nellie would later provide these officials with her Russia analysis.
But the Congressional referral just scratched the surface. Nellie’s “open-source research”, compiled while employed by Fusion GPS, was passed to the FBI by Bruce Ohr on a number of occasions. Recall that the subjects of her research included Paul Manafort, Carter Page, and Michael Flynn. Based on the timing of the disclosures (December 2016, for example) and internal FBI documents, Nellie Ohr’s research was used to help corroborate the Steele Dossier. Funny how that worked: a Fusion GPS employee corroborating a Fusion GPS work product. But it gets worse – Nellie Ohr’s research also informed and contributed to the Steele Dossier.
And, as we reported before the Congressional referral was released, Nellie Ohr lied to Congress about the date she received her HAM radio license. Nellie testified that she received her HAM license in 2015, stating it was “well before” her employment at Fusion GPS. Records we received via FOIA showed her HAM license was applied for, and granted on, May 23, 2016 – during her employment at Fusion GPS….”

With all the Medicare fraud, waste and illegal aliens getting it as well it could cost us billions??? Epoch Times reports that DOGE has found $14 billion in Medicaid fraud alone!
So why is my wife getting a Medicare Premium Bill Part B of $740.00 for 6/01-9/30/25. We have a Medicare Advantage policy and have never received a Medicare premium invoice in the past??? Anyone else get a similar invoice from Medicare? Just wondering? TIA
I am assuming that it is a bill for the $185 per month premium for her Medicare Part B. If it is not automatically deducted from her Social Security payment, they you are responsible for paying it on your own.
740/185 = 4. Sure seems like it’s 4 months of premiums that were billed.
Mine is billed per quarter. Every three months.
Your wife needs to log onto her SSA account to see if they have been deducting her Medicare premiums. There might also be a communication regarding the sudden billing. Also, check her Medicare account for messages.
Social Security Administration has some guidance on Medicare premiums, which can vary among higher income individuals. If one is not receiving SS benefits and/or is not having Medicare deducted automatically, a quarterly bill is received. It can change for some individuals depending on income changes.

I’m starting to think I can’t believe everything I read about Ukraine.
I have been skeptical about everything coming out of Ukraine, Russia and our state department since this started in 2014 under Obummer.
Russia, the United States and Ukraine are some of the best propaganda artists in the world. The only other nation missing is China.
Yep.
The more I read about Ukraine the more it is clear that the USA/Eu provoked this war for reasons I do not understand.
Russia was cornered and reacted in the only way left open to them.
Barring WW3 , Russia will win this war eventually.
yet another clusterf*ck by the Western elite birdbrains that has cemented the Russia/China Alliance (forever probably).
The first casualty of war is the truth.
The first casualty of a liberal media is the truth.
In my opinion the most effective lie has an element of truth to it. Mockingbird media are professionals at this method of propaganda.
Humans developed this over the millennia because it works. If/when morals become fungible, it works better.
We see examples of some of this behavior from our ‘side’ with the constant ‘next week‘ revelations where next week never comes for that. Time usually reveals all truths but by then the lie is forgotten and they’re on to selling the next lie.
Just saw clips of a shocking CNN news program. It was George Cloony and Anderson Cooper.
I had NO IDEA Anderson Cooper was still employed by CNN!
Apparently, CNN wanted to keep his five subscribers.
I would think he (Anderson Cooper) would be on until the end of “pride” month at least.
Well it finally happened. 47 blinked and he called Winnie The Pooh today to discuss trade and everything else. That’s it. Game Over. Winnie The Pooh has won his honey PDJT has nothing and will try to spin his upcoming meeting with the Pooh Bear as a great success. SMH. The Art of War by Sun Tzu.47 should have read it or asked someone to give him the Cliff Notes version of it.
Seriously?
https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/trump-xi-talk-phone-tariff-battle-continues-rcna211140 Yup seriously the White House requested the phone call. If you listen to 47 the past few months the assumption that the general public has is that Chyna would come running with their hat in hand trying to make a deal with PDJT. BRICS has the upper hand moving forward and that was solidified by the incompetence of the DemonRats and RINOS in the 46 administration. SMH. 47 will try and take whatever Winnie The Pooh gives and Trump will try and spin it as a positive win.
Jumping the gun a little?
You do realize this has been discussed here ad nauseum. Both sides will claim the other side came to them. Nobody will ever know the truth. And if you’re posting an NBC article as your source, gtfoh.
The Whitehouse has not disputed that they called first. You can be in denial and drink the kool-aid.
And the nbc article quotes Chinese state media.
The “seriously” was directed at your doom and gloom and doubting our President.
Your userid suits.
its not doom and gloom it’s reading and analyzing the facts as they are so far. Things can change.

Reading this caused me to wonder how much the drug and medical device industries are subsidized by the government and pushed onto the population for, well, our very lives. Of course we always have a choice. We can die. The Covid op pointed that up.
States have a lot of control unless interstate commerce is involved. On the EV front, easy. State stops registration of ICE vehicles and the fascist insurance companies refuse to insure them. That way only outlaws among state residents drive ICE. That kind of fascism has been around in California for decades with their ‘smog’ programs. I first got a taste of it in 1975.
IMO, the important thing right now is finding a peaceful middle ground to all the bruhaha going on across the pond. This Musk stuff is a sideshow. War is real.
This sideshow is getting tiresome.
JUNE 05 2025 – and now this:
This is such BS. So Biden didn’t leverage that against PDJT? GTFOH
Yeah I agree it’s bullshit- I’ll say it out loud here for us because it such a steaming pile of it.
Donald Trump, the germaphobe, has explained that he hitched a ride or something like this.
We all know that if there was anything there at all to work with, the Democrats and RINOs would have been all over this.
They would have impeached him five different ways by now over this- if only there was even a crumb to work with.
I like Elon, I’m happy in how he’s helped us, BUT he’s on the spectrum and he’s having an episode right now that looks very much like a kid throwing a fit.
I think we all should move on and not let this distract us, there is plenty of very serious stuff that needs our full attention.
We all saw how he reacted over H1B.
Either way it ain’t good. The Leftpuke propaganda parrots will go apesh!t with it, and I can already hear the wheels turning on a Congressional Investigation/‘Peachment Inquiry..
.
Then let them insist on the release of the Epstein crap — then we can see how many of THEM actually went to that island (rather than a trip between FL and NYC as a favor to Trump due to his plane being out of service at the time) . . .
They’ve been doing that all along anyway.
Better still, Obama, the FBI and CIA.
Yeah, he banned him from Mar-a-Lago for creeping on one the young workers.
Howie Carr on Boston Radio was just now on this whole topic.
While he’s very grateful for what Elon has done, he’s also said that Elon is showing us that he’s rather naive about the reality of politics in America.
Howie said there are no friends in DC and he quoted Harry Truman: “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog”.
Howie thinks it’s nuts that Elon thought he’d be ending the gravy train and then be shown gratitude for it.
Things don’t work that way.

Trump attacks Musk as public feud escalates over tax-cut bill
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump lashed out on Thursday against his ally Elon Musk, saying he was “disappointed” by the billionaire’s public opposition to the sweeping tax-cut and spending bill that is at the heart of Trump’s agenda.
“Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore,” Trump said in the Oval Office, in his first direct response to Musk’s criticism. “He said the most beautiful things about me, and he hasn’t said bad about me personally, but I’m sure that’ll be next. But I’m, I’m very disappointed in Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot.”
Even as Trump was speaking, Tesla CEO Musk unleashed a series of critical responses on X, the social media site he owns.
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election,” he wrote. “Such ingratitude.”
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-attacks-musk-as-public-feud-escalates-over-tax-cut-bill/ar-AA1GavmF
KILL THE BILL’
Musk also wrote, “Slim Beautiful Bill for the win,” adding “KILL the BILL.” He followed that up by saying he was fine with Trump’s planned cuts to electric vehicle credits as long as Republicans rid the bill of “mountain of disgusting pork” or wasteful spending.
DOGE gave $200 billion in suggested cuts, the “Big Beautiful Bill” made 5.4% of them. He’s as disgusted as I am about that and doesn’t want to further damage Tesla and continue to get death threats for no actual benefit and I can’t blame him.
I know it’s fun to think of Alberta as ‘the conservative’ province of Canada and to dream of voting it in to the US and think of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith as the next Maggie Thatcher. A different perspective. This has been ongoing for years.

The DOJ sued Texas and Texas Agreed to end a 24 Year Policy which allowed ILLEGAL ALIEN Students to Pay Less than Americans to go to Public Universities.
• Established in 2001, Illegal Aliens were paying less than out-of-state American citizens.
• For example, at the University of Texas at Austin, illegal aliens were allowed to pay in-state tuition for the 2024-2025 academic year, around $11,000-$13,000 annually, while out-of-state Americans had to pay $40,000-$46,000.
• The DOJ successfully argued that allowing illegal alien students to pay these lower in-state rates violated federal law by providing them a financial benefit not extended to out-of-state U.S. citizens, who faced higher costs.
• A federal judge just blocked the law, so now effective TODAY, that shit is over.
• Also in the works… the State Senate advanced a bill to completely disqualify any illegal aliens from receiving any tuition.. and if passed, would require illegal aliens to pay back the difference.

Dude… did we just jump into an entirely new timeline?
BREAKING: The Supreme Court unanimously rules in “reverse discrimination” suit for a straight white woman who was discriminated against in applying for a new role at work.
• Marlean Ames, a straight white woman who worked for the Ohio Department of Youth Services since 2004.
• In 2019, Ames applied for a promotion but was passed over in favor of a lesbian woman, whom Ames claimed was less qualified.
• Shortly after, she was demoted from her role as a program administrator, and her position was filled by a gay man, also allegedly less qualified.
• Ames argued these decisions were made because she is straight, constituting “reverse discrimination.”

– If no one in the US military/intel apparatus knew about the sweeping Ukrainian drone attack on Russia’s nuclear triad that was supposedly being planned for 1.5 years, they’re catastrophically incompetent
– If elements of that apparatus did know and purposely kept it from Trump, then Trump is suffering from the same problems we were told dogged him in the first term, and were going to be solved in the second term
– That is, Trump is being subtly subverted by underlings with conflicting agendas
– As a compounding factor, it could be the case that Trump still lacks the attention, interest, and/or organizational capacity to ensure his chain-of-command funnels such information to the top
– It could alternatively be the case that high-level administration officials, up to and including Trump, did in fact know about the attack in advance. After all, it was only last week that Trump warned on Truth Social that “really bad things” may be in store for Russia…
– In that scenario, Trump and administration officials simply wish to retain plausible deniability for political/diplomatic reasons
– Without dispositive evidence for any of the possible scenarios, the scenario one thinks to be the most likely will inevitably align with their preconceived notions about Trump, Ukraine, and Russia

Epstein comes across as somewhat of a chameleon. I believe many decent upright people were surprised when word and then proof of his slimy behavior surfaced. To be in the Epstein files shouldn’t be taken as proof that anyone behaved inappropriately by itself. I have to wonder if this whole deal is a set up to pique public interest in the Epstein files. We might just have direct evidence of people like BOTH Clintons, Bronco Bama and Chief Justice Roberts committing criminal acts and even Wokesters will be paying rapt attention only to discover that Citizen Trump was on and off Epstein Island in 15 minutes BUT looky who else spent an inordinate amount of time and scores of visits there.
I’ll just wait to see how this whole POTUS – Elon Musk deal shakes out.
Meanwhile … I’m not missing the National Enquirer as much.
We all just watched the p.diddy Freak Off Offenders disappear into the woodwork like nothing ever happened. All these big name people went right back into Holloweird mode natural as you please.
I wonder if the whole schizophrenic rollout of the Epstein nothing burrito was the distraction to make the “Elites” on the tapes of Sean Combs easier to teleport into The Memory Hole?
re: Trump / Epstein files
nonsense
if PresTrump is in the files in ANY consequential or scandalous role (other than simply incidental)
that would have been leaked and used to denigrate PresTrump far, far long ago
I was telling my husband the same thing. They would have miraculously “leaked” Trumps portion of the files prior to the election. No way they would have kept that private.
He will be in the files, because his name came up related to the investigation early on.
All Elon said is that Donald Trump is in the files, because it would be.
Trump kicked Epstein out of Mar-A-Lago once Epstein made a pass at a member’s daughter. That made the papers, which caused authorities to look into Epstein in the first place.
I’d missed this little gem in the Big Beautiful Bill until now:

3.5% tax on all foreign remittances (money sent home by foreigners working here).
Would prefer ten times that.
Then Trump posted on Truth Social—and that’s when the gloves really came off.

My take on Elon Musk:
He’s obviously not averse to getting federal money in the guise of EV rebates.
I think he is classic liberal in the sense of free speech and it would appear that Twitter/X has improved under his ownership.
I think Tesla took a big sales hit when he accepted the DOGE position and he’s trying to gain bona fides and try to staunch loss of sales from utopian, statist grifters.
Bottom line, he’s not a true free market capitalist or constitutional conservative, but there are a few issues, such as, freedom of speech, and South African immigration where our paths may cross ever so slightly.
Looks like knives are out for Ric Grenell:
https://nypost.com/2025/06/05/us-news/how-trump-special-envoys-move-to-bring-tate-brothers-to-us-caught-president-unaware/
FTA: “WASHINGTON — White House special envoy Ric Grenell caught President Trump off-guard when he advocated for the notorious Tate brothers to travel to Florida while awaiting trial in Romania earlier this year, leaving administration insiders frustrated and questioning Grenell’s motives.
In mid-February, Grenell, 58, approached Romanian Foreign Minister Emil Hurezeanu on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference and convinced him to release accused sex traffickers Andrew and Tristan Tate into US custody as they await trial on charges including rape and human trafficking in eastern Europe — without notifying anyone else in the administration, according to multiple sources and Hurezeanu’s own admission.
“We learned about the Tate brothers after the fact,” a high-ranking White House source told The Post last week.”

““This was yet another example of Grenell going outside the chain of command to pursue his own goals, rather than the president’s,” a source close to the White House familiar with discussions told The Post.
On Feb. 27, 11 days after the Munich conference wrapped, the Tates, who were born in the US, touched down in Fort Lauderdale on a private jet.
The same day, Trump hosted British Prime Minister Kier Starmer and was asked whether the president’s administration had “pressured” Romania to hand over the accused sexual predators.
“I don’t know. You’re saying he’s on a plane right now?” a visibly confused Trump asked. “I just knows nothing about it. We’ll check it out, we’ll let you know.”
Shortly after, when Starmer spoke about the brothers facing investigation in the United Kingdom, the president said to him, perplexed: “You’re aware? You’re aware of this? I didn’t know anything about it.””
Lots more in the article about other actions by Ric that the WH was not aware of….
My take on the BBB:
At least here in Commiefornia, the currency and economy are held together with tape and gum. Every statist and globalist on the planet wants Trump to fail. If Congress does not pass this terrible bill, or separate out an extension of the tax cuts, I shudder to think what the consequences may be.
Yes, the debt is perversely astronomical, but pass this bill or at least extend the tax cuts. As I wrote earlier, the statist, globalists want to capitalize on failure.

House committee subpoenas Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Pedo Biden’s WH doc.
Either he testifies that he didn’t see any signs of Biden’s seriously deteriorating mental health, in which case he’s proved he’s blind and incompetent and should lose his license to practice medicine or he testifies that yes he saw Biden’s senility but decided it was better for the country to cover for him, in which case he’s unethical and should lose his license to practice medicine.
Or he was paid for his part in the cover-up, in which case he’s corrupt. And should lose his license to practice medicine.
Every person whose family has been touched by dementia or Alzheimer’s knew instantly what they were seeing.
I am frankly stunned that he did not die in office. (Or, maybe he did …)
I am seeing unconfirmed reports that the Ukraine Military Command is *gone*.

The Epstein Files Obsession, Explained
In a spat with President Trump, Elon Musk invokes the Epstein files, a source of endless speculation and conspiracy.
[…]Simply being mentioned in such files does not necessarily mean much.
Criminal case files are frequently full of victim identities, and the names of witnesses and other innocent people who came into contact with suspects or evidence in a case.
[…]Ms. Bondi and the F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, have enlisted dozens of agents and prosecutors to scrutinize and prepare other Epstein files for release, according to people familiar with the work who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal law enforcement operations.
It is still unclear when “Phase 2” will be released.
[…]there is a possibility that innocent people named in the documents may suffer significant damage to their reputations when the files are ultimately released.
