Praying for more and more blue cities to turn MAGA (not just red) catering less to the poor for handouts, but making opportunities for the poor to become independent, make a living, and be self sufficient — which causes them to pay attention and learn and support government which supports independence.
The US constitutional republic is designed to support independence of individuals, and have the government supporting the ability of an economic engine driven by individual people.
Praying for us as a country to stop fostering dependence and make those who are working wealthy enough to encourage and support the poor, the widows, and children to grow to become independent and self supporting.
Praying that local benevolent programs from churches and individuals will develop to support growth and compassion reflecting the Love of our creator that overpower the the cocaine of financial dependence .
Dear Country Doc,
A lovely post. You have highlighted the most important aspect to prayer. The individual. At prayer. In the quiet inner room where the earnest believer talks one-on-one with God. The most powerful conversation on earth.
Many prayers have been answered by humility and the sure knowledge that God is listening to the individual who takes the time to ask.
Thank you so much for the reminder.
May your upcoming holiday season be full of the spirit of God.
And may our God remain on the heart of President Donald J. Trump to lead America through this tumult.
The Game Plan
Sundance @TheLastRefuge2
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it. He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit.
A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
Unseen1 @unseen1_unseen
Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1B visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough. They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it. You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.
Do not allow them to gaslight you into thinking the good is the enemy of the perfect.
In the real world, most things are never perfect, but if we try real hard, we can get plenty of good accomplished in the coming 4 years.
The purpose and goals of President Trump are plainly visible by his actions and consistent: He is for the benefit first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world. It is validating, even to our battered conservative skepticism.
The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating. He hammers actions based on truth from one direction, then another, and they cannot mount an organized opposition against him.
President Trump is transparent in his words and actions. He is consistent in what he says, what he does, and what he asks/demands of others. His promises are bold and he keeps them like no other president has. He is making massive, nearly overnight changes, not only in our country, but in the world. It is amazing that he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass. This term, he is weeding them out faster. No U.S. president has ever faced so much organized resistance and treason than President Trump
He has chosen to use his intellect and every skill he has to do what is right. He has tremendous faith that he can make a difference in this world. He has a confidence and courage such that he doesn’t care what others think, yet a humility to know he has to do it with the help of like minded people. Those people are the “common” people, and he ridicules those who think they are not common.
He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, and they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.
He believes the United States, with its Constitutional Republic, is the best environment in the world to enable and give opportunity for people to be happy and prosperous.
He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.
He believes the enemy of our country are the stupid, greedy American people who have been selfishly taking advantage of this country; who betrayed the trust and obedience of its people; and who diverted the people’s wealth for their own selfish gain, at the expense of the principles of this country. He’s not going to allow that anymore.
He has cultivated and focused the family of MAGA. Identifying those people whose goodness, industriousness, trust, and obedience have been taken advantage of and abused. He has opened our eyes to this abuse, and the rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us.
He has rekindled the healthy distrust of government and men with too much power held by our founders. He has recultivated the desire to reclaim our freedoms and rights, and is empowering us with a hope and pathway to reclaim our spiritual and economic freedom.
He wants the US to be a light of hope on the hill for all people. He will negotiate win/win agreements with those nations and countries who respect us; who respect the principles and intent of our Constitution. If you do not respect us, however, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness, or share in our wealth at our expense. If you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us, until you show that you value your people as much as we value ours.
He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of whom truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic, which supports the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.
The Trump Train seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth, which reflect the will and design of our Creator, and are the best standard by which we should live. These same principles were what our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation.
Our founders believed that a nation should preserve the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles. They believed that free individuals working together in humility would make a stronger nation than a government which dictates its will on the people. President Trump professes and seeks to lead and restore this nation back to these same principles.
These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum on day 293 of the 2nd term of this very stable genius in the history of the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2025.
Thank you Val.
A Treeper suggested to have trump issue an EO stopping pay to Congress effective immediately. Congress and their staff. That may work, or at least up the ante.
Awesome idea. And funds can be re-directed to pay air traffic controllers and ICE agents.
It’s my understanding only Congress can regulate Congress. See the very last Amendment..
Yes, that EO would be immediately stayed by a district judge and even the conservative Supreme Court Justices would support that.
The other thing is do you really think most of the people in Congress are so destitute that a month without a paycheck would do them harm? LOL!
I sure they won’t be failing to pay the rent or unable to buy food like many of our young married Armed Forces members.
Yup! They’ve got at a minimum lots of lobbyists more than willing to supply any temporary desires, much less needs, they might want.
Read somewhere thru all these shutdowns that the staff goes without pay, shows they only care for themselves.
Have a friend who’s employer is a contractor for probably the most despised gov. agency, as such he does not get back pay, the company does what it can to help.
Subcontractors always get shafted. Ask me how I know.. However, I wouldn’t know how to act in a regular office hierarchy. My work sold me more work on its own.
It’s just collecting after the Net 60, 90 or 120 Days out from completion of big jobs ages one’s self prematurely.
Yep,
Then there is the 10% hold back on EVERY draw that gets held, when finished they always create enough “back charges” as to not pay it.
Employees always got paid first, then gov, deal with the rest.
Ad rem, I can’t type email addresses
Which is why we have no kings in here. The Founding Fathers were making no President could usurp Con-gress. They just prayed that the future Con-gresses would be made of honest and moral men.
How about it if all THREE branches of government have their pay stopped immediately with NO retro pay as soon as either house shuts down the government for ANY reason.
Unfortunately, Congress controls the power of public spending, and the Constitution says that they “shall receive” compensation for their services. The President has no power here, juicy and well-deserved though the idea might be.

BREAKING:
U.S. Supreme Court on Friday night issued an emergency order temporarily blocking full SNAP benefit payments for November after a request from the Trump administration.
https://nitter.poast.org/Osint613/status/1986988712765358415#m
Comments on this post:
Emergency orders like this are temporary by design. The Court is saying the legal questions need to be resolved before policy moves forward. This is the system making sure major decisions aren’t rushed without clarity
The SC just gave Trump leverage. They are creating the power. Open the Government or Society goes to levels we’ve never seen
SUPREME COURT PAUSES SNAP: POOR FAMILIES’ FOOD AID CAUGHT IN SHUTDOWN CHESS
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson just hit pause on full food benefits. The Trump administration convinced the Supreme Court to block a judge’s order for complete SNAP payments while the shutdown grinds on. Translation: hungry families caught between courts playing constitutional ping-pong. Some states moved fast. Wisconsin, Oregon, Hawaii issued full November benefits before the order landed. Now Jackson’s pause could leave other states hanging.
https://nitter.poast.org/MarioNawfal/status/1986993432611483997#m
Colour me surprised
What is Ketanji’s ulterior motive?
3 States f*****d the other 47. Trump planned to legally pay 50% to recipients. First Circuit, could have to allowed time to distribute the 50% so people got something. Instead Article III thought they are Article I and II, order reallocation of funds which may not even be legal.

Bondi RIPS Obama Judge for Forcing USDA to Raid Children’s “School-Lunch Money to Fund SNAP Benefits” – And Playing Dirty Trick with Timing of Court Order
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/bondi-rips-obama-judge-forcing-usda-raid-childrens/
US Attorney General Pam Bondi went off on Obama-appointed John McConnell for forcing the USDA to raid school-lunch money to fund SNAP benefits.
US District Judge John McConnell, an Obama appointee, scolded DOJ lawyers on Thursday during a hearing and ordered the Trump Administration to fully deliver the SNAP benefits to states by Friday.
Nancy Pelosi’s Optics. It looks pretty bad to raid the children’s school lunch fund to pay those to lazy to get a job.
So hard for me to give a rip about Snap. The garbage people can now buy with it and do so anonymously pisses me off every time I think about it. Emergency fund gone full long term gubmint theft.
I check at our local grocery. One customer came through, spent $433 on “food”. Probably 80% was sugary crap. They had some real food in the basket. But most of it was junk, and both the mother and daughter were obese.
By the way did you know ice is now considered food? And energy drinks? Coffee drinks?
I do see some responsible buyer but they are the exception rather than the rule.
This?

Bad for your blood pressure lady. Crackers are high in sodium. Not to mention white people are ‘crusty’ tough, stringy and almost un-chewable even when roasted long and slow.
She should start at my house.
Or my place… She can find out how #4 Buck tastes…
Wow. Lots of delusion out there in la la land.
Interesting. They record on their smart phones in their cars. They have money for tattoos and a ‘Gucci’ purse and justify stealing and violence.
Only the woman in the first video mentions growing her own food. Have at it.
It does not occur to them that someone works to put things on the shelf and pay off their gubmint credit card. They seem to think money falls from the insurance god in the sky.
If those who work quit working, the shelves would be empty. If the stealing gets out of hand, the stores will close. Seldom will you hear preaching on the value and importance of work to sustain the culture. The preaching on charity and giving seem to drown out the message of ‘better to teach a man to fish.’ The clergy in this country is largely at fault for the mentality that anyone who has a fish is greedy. ‘May I?, Please, and Thank you’ have been replaced with ‘Give! and Give me!’!’ Tis the season for shoplifting.
Darkness has clouded many minds. They are filled with envy and hate, misguided self-righteousness; pride. They ignore what is plain to see. They exchange the truth for a lie.
Pity the widows and elderly, but…
Let those who will not work, not eat.
True story.
Three young people come through my lane to check out. All junk food and energy drinks. One whips out his Oregon Trail card (SNAP EBT card) turns to the other two and says:
“I got it. It’s free money.”
I had to fight back the urge to reach across the counter, grab him by the throat and tell him I work so you can have your free money you ungrateful puke.
Some years ago, one of my grandsons had received a scholarship to some state college in New Mexico and excitedly told me, “Grandma free!’
My response, “No, it’s not.; ‘free” means someone else is paying for it. It’s NOT free.”
Very quiet on the other end of the line.
They need to limit EBT cards to real food. Remove sugary and salty snacks, desserts, soda drinks, and energy drinks, etc from being covered.
And no expensive crustaceans!!!
Been seeing that since food stamps thirty-five years ago as a low paid working stiff watching people buy steak and shrimp on our dime. It has only gotten worse. The grocery store nearby had an ICE Free Zone sign posted outside the entrance. My brother who lives in the old neighborhood had zero trick or treaters. Apparently afraid to go outside -makes you wonder who all the kids are at the grade school.
You can thank LBJ and his Great Society plus Obummer and his Obama phones.
dark meat would be better with crackers./s
Remember the old Tarzan movies? I guess they were NOT racial stereotypes.
Perhaps they told her this was necessary to keep the filibuster–until such time as the mask could drop.
She knows that the Trump Administration will be blamed for the food stamp shutdown even though it is caused by schumer and his commie party.
Sure. 90% of the media is against trump and a very large % of poor watch that. Brainwashed.
Those people don’t watch any news. They are spoon fed snippets from the peanut gallery. Ask them anything about government and you will get a blank stare. Honestly …if you were an employer would you want to hire her? Might as well categorize these people as permanently disabled.
Civil unrest that will be blamed on Trump!
they will attempt to use this past Tuesday as the background to appear truthful to LIV
Which States sued The Administration for asking how many Illegals were receiving Benefits inside their Borders?
Judges have no influence over the Congressional power to spend public money – or, as the case may be, to refuse to spend it. Neither can a Judge order someone to pay the bill out of their own pocket. A Judge also cannot redefine any other spending allocations made by Congress. Nor can the President.
These powers simply do not exist. This Judge was merely indulging in “TDS,” and it means nothing.
This is the case in most of these “TDS” rulings…
The President has every right to ignore them and tell these rogue “judges” to ”pound sand”…
I wonder why he doesn’t do it…
Yes it does mean something…..they are idiots.
These judges know that. The point of their blatantly – and coordinated – unconstitutional rulings is “narrative-shaping.” Their campaign will remain effective and rewarding for as long as there are no consequences.
Congress drops the ball again.
Would love to see these insurrectionist judges perp walked by US Marshalls.
Not rushed without clarity? Surely you jest? As I remember Obamacare on a Christmas Eve…
JARED ISAACMAN TELLS NASA: FUND SCIENCE, NOT BUREAUCRACY
JIsaacman called on NASA to restore funding for its leading space observatories, warning that cuts would cripple U.S. science and exploration. In a 2024 letter to Administrator Bill Nelson, he defended his record, saying he’s “publicly defended programs like the Chandra X-ray Observatory” and even offered to fund a Hubble reboost. Jared, who commanded Inspiration4 and Polaris Dawn, said NASA must invest in research, not bureaucracy, to keep America at the forefront of discovery
https://nitter.poast.org/MarioNawfal/status/1987049949767307435#m
How much NASA science money goes to fraudulent scaremongering?
Between that and DEI, there is no money left for the mission. Close the place down.

DOGE: WE TERMINATED 17 FRAUDULENT CONTRACTS AND SAVED $75.1 MILLION “Great to see continued cross-agency coordination on 8(a) fraud by Sec. Scott Bessent. In accordance, USGSA has facilitated the termination or non-renewal of 17 wasteful 8(a) contracts across USDA, U.S Treasury, Energy Dept., and Department of War, with total savings of $75.1M. A lot more work to do, but this is a good start
https://nitter.poast.org/MarioNawfal/status/1987029818068623416#m
A little off subject….but it made me think about all the government jobs and employees….how many can be replaced by AI?

DIDDY CAUGHT MAKING PRISON HOOCH WITH FANTA AND APPLES
Sean “Diddy” Combs went from Ciroc vodka to jailhouse jungle juice. Fort Dix officials busted the music mogul drinking DIY alcohol made from Fanta soda, sugar, and apples fermented for two weeks. The man who claimed he was “sober for the first time in 25 years” in his mercy letter to the judge is now brewing bathtub beverages behind bars. Diddy: “I can’t change the past, but I can change the future.” Apparently that future includes moonshining with commissary items. Four years for prostitution charges, infinite creativity for contraband cocktails.

The United States government cannot be “shut down” forever. It is ridiculous and everyone knows it.
These are the disputes of children !
No further pay for the military?
No food can be bought to feed members of the U.S. military deployed across the globe?
No further pay for air traffic controllers across the USA?
No further pay for any federal employees anywhere?
Contract billings sent to all federal government agencies will never again be paid?
No fuel can be bought to power federal civilian or military vehicles, ships or aircraft?
How will federal offices remain open without paying utility bills incurred at THOUSANDS of those buildings? Telephone, electricity and water bills won’t be paid?
Shutdown is their new Covid?
┐(‘～`;)┌
“This whole shutdown is just another social experiment created and implemented by Congress.
What are they doing?
Limiting food
Restricting travel
withholding pay
Causing public Drama.”

Thank you! I was just going to post that myself. There should be ads portraying this Schumer Shutdown being brought to us by the same people that brought us the Covid Shutdown in 2021. Surely we have some creative people on the Right.
And the sheeple who ate up the garbage coming out of the corrupt MSM about COVID are now eating up this messaging about the “poor Federal workers” as well.
Ya can’t fix stupid.
Excellent observation..

“No further pay for air traffic controllers across the USA?”
Illustrating that air traffic controllers are not considered essential personnel.
Only when you are taking off and landing.
Another one of Maura Healey’s darling violent “Our Immigrants”, a scissors-to-the-neck-stabber of a co-worker, arrested by ICE in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.
Husband, also an illegal, refuses command to take custody of their child, fakes a seizure and only accepts custody when it is noted that his refusal would lead to his arrest for an immigration violation.
Maybe she ought not have stabbed someone in the neck with scissors and thrown a trash bin at her victim? Also, maybe she ought have secured her child in a safety car seat?

Having watched local ‘news’ on the idiot box for the first time in years in Boston a couple times this past month has helped me better understand the cognitive dissonance destroying this country. The ‘news’ failed to explain why this women was separated from her child. There were minutes of airtime providing interviews from outraged locals. The Trump admin can and should be performing better messaging. After making sure that law enforcement officers are safe, there should be prioritization of an accompanying ICE employee explaining why the criminal was apprehended. Plenty of minutes of the ‘news’ allocated about the ramifications of the shutdown (e.g., SNAP, Aviation) but ZERO mentions of why the government is shutdown. An FCC review of broadcasting licenses should be on this admin’s to-do list.
Few if any truly open minded ever watch the MSM..even the indoctrinated fools get bored and no longer watch, one needs just look at ratings as opposed too that of prominent podcasters.
We tried watching Fox a few times while on vacation in the U.S.A. even Gutfeld was tedious.

Thune’s failure to do the same for the republicans is a disloyal act to President Trump and all MAGA / America Firsters.
The fact that his name is even on the following list of 24 RINOs, who refused to eliminate the filibuster, is justification enough for President Trump to ask for a loyal MAGA / America First senator to replace him as leader in the Senate.

I wonder what some of you might think? Julian Epstein, democratic operative, for a better term, came on the Will Cain show on Fox yesterday and said President Trump should make his pledge to the American people in an oval office address.
From a democrat, I thought it was a fantastic idea. I obviously know a lot of people have zero clue it takes 60 votes to end the shutdown. I believe most people hear that the Republicans hold all three branches so they are the reason the shutdown continues. Sorry, good folks here, I have heard this from what I consider intelligent people.
Again, make your case Mr. President. A lot of disinformation that the press would actually almost have to cover. Do it………
It isn’t President Trump’s shutdown.
Nice try though.
Actually, it was a worthy try. Problem is, the diehard Dems wouldn’t even tune in to such a speech by the President, let alone believe what he says — they are so entrenched in their ideology.
No kidding. I guess you missed the point, obviously.
November 8th – 2025 Thank you Sundance, Aman!
Welcome back, Sepp!
not with Shap*ro , Lew*n …..and others neocons….
Good morning Treepers. Steve Baker (the blaze) dropped his report this morning on the pipe bomber. This is awful and as devastating as Glenn Beck said when they teased the story earlier this week. Although none of us will be surprised, the revealing ramifications of this are awful. Let’s hash it out, Sundance!
https://www.theblaze.com/news/former-capitol-police-officer-a-forensic-match-for-jan-6-pipe-bomber-sources-say
No hashing needed. Sundance and Regitiger both proved the FBI planted it as a secondary insurance policy if the FBI embeds in the crowd were unsuccessful in driving people inside the Capitol.
All they have to say is that it was a regularly scheduled exercise.
That has begun and is altogether absurd given the day and goings on.

I think Ratcliff can force her to take a polygraph test. I also think she may have been required to answer certain questions and take an oath prior to being employed by the CIA.

(Salty language warning)
Kash, you’re up.
Kerkhoff’s actions in and around Capital Hill, including inside the building, between November of 2020 and March of 2021 should be on videotape. It is probably the most surveiled ten or so square miles in the world outside of China and the UK.
Did she meet with Pelosi, Schiff, McConnell, Cheney, Kinzinger, etc. personally? What dates?
Is there footage missing now? That would be destruction of evidence is someone wiped the footage to erase her movements, and also show knowledge / constitute accessory after the fact.
So did the blaze really get scooped. What a hoot! This name was on X yesterday.
Now, I’m curious about the mechanics of why they held back this story.
Was it the government? I mean what can be more mind numbingly stupid than for someone who was prosecuted for reporting on J6 to turn to the same people for help in investigating J6? How can anybody expect those who lied about the phone data, who say they know whose transit card was used in the subway, who know what car the bomber drove off the lot, yet deny they know who did it, would actually help investigate who did it? More like help stop you from reporting.
Was it the ownership of the Blaze? The reporter got really nasty with Sundance because Sundance hadn’t known Beck had brought in investors / new owners. But as the conversation rolled on, it became clear that some of those people had it in for Trump.
Also, has gait analysis ever been accepted in court? Used to convict? I keep thinking about that end scene in the movie “the usual suspects”. The one where limping Verbal transforms to Kaiser Soze without the limp. Spacey is a creep, but he is also a great actor.
So, who leaked the info the blaze was using to tease us? Was it leaked from the blaze, upset the government was thwarting them? Or was it leaked from the government, upset the government was covering it up?
There is a huge sideshow here ready to suck us in.
And now the things they did in face recognition software to hide government agents are going to be put in gait recognition software.
The shoes are as problematic as the gait for her. This could be a deeper side of the op, but it’s a DS op that co-opted a large swath of DC police.
Y’know: “It wasn’t ‘a bomb,’ obviously.” So, it shouldn’t be an issue. No one attaches a 24-hour kitchen timer to a “pipe bomb.” I’m not aware that anyone found any actual explosives in them, nor a working mechanism. (For instance: “where’s the battery?”)
If you were shooting an under-budget movie and had no money to spend on props, you might construct something laughable like this. And wait for the rotten tomatoes to arrive once the snickering stopped. 🤡
Don’t start, five years later, looking for a scapegoat and ruining his or her life. This was a theatrical prop, and a comical one at that. Even if an explosion had occurred in some out-of-the-way place, it would not have had any influence on what Congress, miles away, was doing that day.
No one believes you. Leave the poor man alone.
They would have absolutely evacuated the capitol.
Todd Blanche Reveals How Trump DOJ Will Protect Its Attorneys Facing Ethics Complaints From Left-Wing Orgs
https://dailycaller.com/2025/11/07/todd-blanche-reveals-how-trump-doj-will-protect-its-attorneys-facing-ethics-complaints-from-left-wing-orgs/
Excerpts:
WASHINGTON — Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed Friday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) would be taking a new approach when its attorneys face activist bar complaints.
Under the new policy, which Blanche noted is not yet fully in effect, the DOJ will handle complaints against its attorneys “in-house.”
“We’re changing the regulation so that if there is a complaint against one of our trial attorneys or our AUSAs, we will look at it with our ethics department,” he said during a fireside chat at the Federalist Society’s National Lawyers Convention. “The bar doesn’t need to look at it.”
The room erupted in applause when Blanche called the D.C. Bar “one of the most activist, obnoxious bars when it comes to going after conservative lawyers.”
Dozens of ethics complaints have been filed against members of the Trump DOJ, including high-level officials like Attorney General Pam Bondi to Acting New Jersey District Attorney Alina Habba as well as federal prosecutors who are not in positions of leadership. Most have been filed by the same few left-wing organizations.
Deputy AG Todd Blanche on “weaponization” of DOJ during 4 years of Biden admin:
“I’m going to say, it’s a Latin term: batshit crazy.”
“When I read now that we’re weaponizing, I feel like I’m being gaslit. Because we’re doing exactly the opposite.” pic.twitter.com/LAP4Np2CIP
“I hope that time heals wounds and I hope that we move forward as a country, and we will, back to where the Department of Justice is doing justice. And I think we’re doing that now,” Blanche said. “But I take umbrage at the idea that the work that our prosecutors are doing is weaponization because I have receipts. I know what happened the past couple years. I lived it.”
“How Trump DOJ Will Protect Its Attorneys”?
JMO.
Hey, Todd, just a suggestion but you could start by firing all of the multiple thousands of carryover, weaponizing, treasonous biden thugs still working in the DOJ / FBI / CIA.
At day 293, you are almost a year behind schedule in getting rid of the carryover thugs who are still causing harm to President Trump’s administration.
You talk about time heals wounds………. how about it is time to get to work and do what MAGAs expected you to do on 1/20/2025.
Enough of making excuses for cleaning out the DOJ / FBI / CIA. The carryover thugs can be identified, and it will be known if you are still letting them draw a paycheck from the Executive Branch. You can’t sweep them under the commie rug.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
Blanche is a Deepstate Embed.

He’s actually correct… Most can’t stand Shapiro for many years now. It’s why there was an uproar just after Charlie Kirk’s exit– on the idea that Ben would replace him.

President Trump exemplifies America First; Ben Shapiro plays for another team, and so does Tucker Carlson.

The Economist says wanting more American babies might be “an insidious project to create a whiter America”
https://notthebee.com/article/the-economist-says-wanting-to-make-more-american-babies-might-be-an-insidious-project-to-create-a-whiter-america
With Trump and Vance in power, many pro-natalists believe this is the moment to jump-start baby-making. But some critics see pro-natalism as part of an insidious project to create a whiter America
The Economist really published this on Thursday!
Look at the headline:
Americans want to have American babies instead of importing infinity migrants who will rule their country instead??
THIS MUST BE WHITE SUPREMACY!! 😂
(Can’t wait to hear how the Asian, Hispanic, and black Trump voters are white supremacists too!)

After Justice Brown Jackson stopped Rhode Island Federal Judge McConnell’s ruling that the Administration must fully fund SNAP benefits immediately, does McConnell now get the Clown of the Month award? That Judge ruled twice, severely admonished the Administration, provided no path to legal funding and demanded immediate implementation. So, the Rhode Island Obama Judge was stopped dead in his tracks by Justice Jackson, a Biden appointment and the most liberal Supreme Court Justice ever. Sweet irony.
The Courts have and had no such power. And, for that matter, neither does the President. The expenditure of public money is Constitutionally a Congressional power. The power to refuse to spend it is the same.
You cannot turn to “a rich man” and demand that he fork over the money from his own purse – even if “his purse” was big enough. You’re doing it only because of “TDS.” And, arrogance. And, ignorance.
We obviously have a fundamental problem with our Court system. Which, as per Article 3, is set up and managed entirely by Congress beneath the one (Constitutional) “Supreme” Court. Therefore, Congress also does have the direct power to set the rules that judges must live by, and to me this has become “a Congressional matter.” It’s not getting better. It’s getting worse.
Corrective legislation is needed. The SCOTUS is not the only Constitutional body that can dictate judicial behavior and guidelines. Nor is it, in this case, actually the best one. We need policy, not a “ruling.” (Right now, the SCOTUS is being pestered(!) with interventions, which is not their core job.)
Congress creates agencies, consents to their leaders, budgets and authorizes their spending, and hauls them in to report and be examined, but …
Isn’t the actual spending an Executive branch function?
Agencies don’t go on last minute spending sprees because they must spend it all, but because they are afraid they won’t be given as much money next year. (I have been there.)
Our entire system is breaking down. All we get from Congress is grandstanding. No budgets. Very little Authorization. And no real oversight.
Courts are running amok with no restraint from Congress or the Executive.
And they have all been colluding to terrorize We The People
Trump 1.0 couldn’t stop any of it. And it looks like it won’t be stopped by Trump 2.0 either. Can’t or won’t, it is not even clear if they are trying.
And what good are new laws when all the abusers consider each other as above the law, and all their opponents as guilty, and twist the law to make it so?
I know, glad not in Palm Beach County anymore. They’re setting up camp in Boca.
It maybe the bluest of blue in FL, so that won’t change.

Trump is in a lose-lose situation. If the Reps give the Dims what they demand, a one year extension on the “ACA” subsidy the next renewal will become a major issue during the midterms, even more of one than it is now. If they don’t, with no CR to fund military pay and, especially, flight controller pay just before a major holiday, that has also already had negative consequences and the “ACA” subsidy recipients certainly and those traveling by air won’t be behind the Rep’s stand on the issue.
So, why won’t the Reps allow a subsidy extension that takes it well PAST the midterms?:
HOUSE Republicans launch bill to extend health subsidies past midterms
It’s the latest sign the GOP sees political peril in letting enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits expire at the year’s end
4 Sep 2025
But no standalone bill on the subsidies has reached a floor vote in either chamber. Why?
The Rep stand on the issue has already increased the likelihood that the Dims will like take control of at least the House in 2026 and Trump will be impeached again and even more obstructed than he is now with his need to use executive orders to accomplish anything significant. His EOs can be rescinded on day one of the next Dim prez and only a small portion of what Trump has done with EOs has been codified by the Congress. After the Dims take the House, none will be.
Is that what the Senate with over 50% of the eReps in it having D and F Liberty Scores actually wants?
So, there you go. Big picture: government [aka, lobbyists] creates a system, “ACA,” that won’t actually work to the advantage of voters in the way that is presented to them and then takes advantage of the further government dependence it creates.
Hardly.
Which political party lost the most in the elections which just occurred?
Grok 3 AI:
**Republican Party**
The elections on November 4, 2025, were off-year contests, including gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey, the New York City mayoral race, a California ballot measure on congressional redistricting, state legislative elections, and other local and judicial races. These served as an early indicator of sentiment toward President Trump’s second term, amid a government shutdown and economic concerns.
Republicans lost the most overall, with Democrats securing decisive victories in high-profile races and gaining ground in legislatures and other contests. Key losses for Republicans included:
– **Gubernatorial races**: Abigail Spanberger (D) defeated Winsome Earle-Sears (R) in Virginia by 57.5% to 42.3%, flipping the seat. Mikie Sherrill (D) beat Jack Ciattarelli (R) in New Jersey, maintaining Democratic control.
– **New York City mayor**: Zohran Mamdani (D) won over 1 million votes against Andrew Cuomo (independent, Trump-endorsed), with about 850,000 for Cuomo.
– **California Proposition 50**: Voters approved redrawing congressional maps to favor Democrats, potentially flipping up to 5 Republican-held U.S. House seats in 2026.
– **State legislatures**: Democrats retained majorities and expanded to supermajorities in the Virginia House of Delegates and New Jersey General Assembly.
– **Other races**: Democrats ousted two Republicans on the Georgia Public Service Commission and retained three Democratic justices on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, preserving its 5-2 Democratic majority.
Analysts described this as a “repudiation of the Trump agenda,” with Republicans struggling without Trump on the ballot and facing backlash over the economy and shutdown. Trump attributed losses to his absence and the shutdown, but results signal challenges for Republicans in the 2026 midterms. Democrats had no comparable net losses.
### Impact of November 2025 Off-Year Elections on 2026 Midterms
The November 4, 2025, off-year elections—often dubbed “midterm previews”—delivered a significant setback for Republicans, signaling potential headwinds for their performance in the 2026 midterms. These contests, held just 10 months into President Trump’s second term, highlighted voter dissatisfaction with the administration’s early agenda, including a contentious government shutdown and persistent economic pressures like inflation and supply chain disruptions. Below, I’ll break down the key impacts, drawing on the results’ implications for congressional control, party momentum, and strategic shifts.
#### 1. **Congressional Control at Risk: House Flips and Senate Vulnerabilities**
– **U.S. House of Representatives**: Republicans currently hold a slim majority (e.g., 220-215 post-2024), making every seat competitive. The passage of California’s Proposition 50, which mandates redrawing congressional districts to create more competitive maps favoring Democrats, could flip 4-6 Republican-held seats in 2026. This is particularly damaging in a state with 52 House seats, where Democrats already dominate. Combined with Democratic gains in Virginia and New Jersey legislatures (now holding supermajorities), expect more aggressive redistricting efforts in those states, potentially netting Democrats 2-3 additional seats.
– **U.S. Senate**: With Republicans defending 22 seats (vs. Democrats’ 13), the map is already tough—vulnerable incumbents in states like Maine, North Carolina, and Texas. The 2025 results amplify this: Democratic retention of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court (5-2 majority) ensures favorable judicial oversight for voting rights and redistricting challenges, which could suppress Republican turnout in key battlegrounds. Analysts project Democrats could gain 2-4 seats, flipping the chamber if turnout mirrors these off-year levels.
| Chamber | Current GOP Seats | Defended in 2026 | Potential Democratic Gains from 2025 Results |
|———|——————-|——————|———————————————|
| House | 220 | All 435 | 6-9 (CA redistricting + VA/NJ shifts) |
| Senate | 52 | 22 | 2-4 (PA court + national momentum) |
#### 2. **Party Momentum and Voter Sentiment**
– **Democratic Surge**: The decisive wins—e.g., Abigail Spanberger’s (D) 15-point gubernatorial victory in Virginia and Zohran Mamdani’s (D) landslide in New York City—energize the Democratic base, boosting fundraising and volunteer turnout. These races saw high youth and suburban participation (up 12% from 2023), demographics that historically punish the president’s party in midterms. Democrats now frame 2026 as a “referendum on Trump 2.0,” with early polling showing a 5-7 point generic ballot lead.
– **Republican Struggles**: Without Trump on the ballot, GOP turnout cratered (down 8% in key districts), exposing fractures. Trump’s post-election blame on the shutdown alienated moderates, and losses in diverse areas (e.g., Georgia’s Public Service Commission) highlight weaknesses with Black and Latino voters. This could lead to primary chaos, with MAGA vs. establishment fights depressing general election performance.
#### 3. **Strategic and Tactical Shifts**
– **Campaign Focus**: Democrats will invest heavily in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona, leveraging 2025’s judicial wins to protect mail-in voting expansions. Republicans may pivot to economic messaging (e.g., tax cuts), but the shutdown’s fallout—linked to 60% disapproval in exit polls—necessitates damage control.
– **Turnout Dynamics**: Off-year elections typically underperform presidential ones, yet Democrats overperformed by 4-6 points. If this “anti-Trump wave” persists, 2026 turnout could hit 45-50% (vs. 47% in 2022), favoring Democrats in low-propensity voter mobilization.
– **Wild Cards**: Economic recovery (e.g., if GDP growth exceeds 3% by mid-2026) could blunt Democratic gains, but ongoing issues like federal debt ceiling fights risk further GOP erosion. Third-party surges, as seen with Andrew Cuomo’s independent run, might split the right-wing vote.
In summary, these results tilt the 2026 midterms toward Democrats, potentially costing Republicans the House and threatening the Senate. Historical parallels (e.g., 2018’s blue wave after Trump’s first midterm preview) suggest a 10-15 seat House loss for the incumbent party is plausible. Republicans must unify and deliver policy wins soon to reverse the narrative; otherwise, 2026 could mark the start of a Democratic resurgence. For real-time updates, track sources like FiveThirtyEight or Cook Political Report.
### Key 2026 U.S. Senate Battlegrounds
The 2026 Senate elections, set for November 3, will contest 33 regular seats (Class 2) plus two special elections (in Florida and Ohio to complete terms vacated by Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance, respectively). Republicans defend 22 seats in a chamber they currently control 53-47, but the map favors them overall—most GOP seats are in deep-red states Trump won by double digits in 2024. Democrats need a net gain of four seats to flip control, a steep challenge given only two Republican-held seats (Maine and North Carolina) are truly vulnerable. However, recent off-year results from November 2025—showing Democratic gains amid backlash to Trump’s agenda and the government shutdown—have injected volatility, potentially making more races competitive if economic headwinds persist.
The core battlegrounds form a “Magnificent Four”: two Democratic-held seats in Trump-won states (Georgia and Michigan) and two Republican-held ones (Maine and North Carolina). These could decide the majority, with Democrats defending the former and targeting the latter. Other races (e.g., New Hampshire, Ohio special) are emerging as toss-ups, while deeper targets like Texas or Florida remain long shots but could swing in a true “blue wave.” Below is a breakdown of the top battlegrounds, based on early ratings from outlets like Sabato’s Crystal Ball, Cook Political Report, and Reuters (as of November 2025).
#### Core Battlegrounds Table
| State | Incumbent/Status | Party | Key Dynamics and Candidates | Early Rating (Lean/Toss-up) | 2024 Presidential Margin (Trump) |
|—————-|———————————–|——-|—————————–|—————————–|———————————|
| **Georgia** | Jon Ossoff (D), seeking re-election | D | Perennial swing state; Ossoff’s 2020 win was razor-thin. 2025 off-year gains for Dems in GA utilities commission signal momentum. Likely GOP challenger: Gov. Brian Kemp or Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. High Black and suburban turnout key. | Toss-up (D hold) | +2.1% |
| **Michigan** | Open (Gary Peters, D, retiring) | D | Open seat in a state Trump narrowly won in 2024; Dems’ 2025 NY/VA wins boost morale. Dem frontrunner: Rep. Elissa Slotkin. GOP: Ex-Rep. Mike Rogers or Tudor Dixon. Union and Arab-American voters pivotal. | Toss-up (D hold) | +0.8% |
| **Maine** | Susan Collins (R), seeking 6th term | R | Blue-leaning state Harris won by 7%; Collins’ moderation helped her survive 2020 blue wave. Post-2025, Dems eye Gov. Janet Mills or state Sen. Jill Duson as challengers. Ranked-choice voting could split GOP vote. | Lean R (vulnerable) | -7.2% (Harris +7.2%) |
| **North Carolina** | Thom Tillis (R), seeking 3rd term | R | GOP-leaning battleground; Tillis won 2020 by 1.8%. Ticket-splitting history (Trump/Stein in 2024 gov race) persists. Dems: AG Josh Stein or Rep. Wiley Nickel. 2025 VA Dem supermajority inspires NC redistricting push. | Lean R (vulnerable) | +3.4% |
#### Emerging/Emerging Battlegrounds
These races aren’t core targets yet but could heat up based on primaries, retirements, or national trends:
– **New Hampshire (Open; Jeanne Shaheen, D, retiring)**: Northeast swing state with GOP gov. Dem frontrunner: Rep. Chris Pappas (centrist, first openly gay nominee potential). GOP: Ex-Sens. John Sununu or Scott Brown. High civic engagement; 2025 NJ Dem hold adds pressure on GOP. *Rating: Toss-up (D hold)*.
– **Ohio (Special Election)**: To fill Vance’s seat; appointed Sen. Jon Husted (R, ex-LG) faces Sen. Sherrod Brown (D), who lost narrowly in 2024 gov race but remains popular. Buckeye State’s shift rightward (Trump +10%) favors Husted, but Brown’s working-class appeal could force spending. *Rating: Likely R*.
– **Minnesota (Open; Tina Smith, D, retiring)**: DFL stronghold but GOP gains in 2024 pres vote. Dems: AG Keith Ellison or Rep. Angie Craig. GOP eyes Sen. Lisa Murkowski-style moderate. Low GOP Senate win since 2002, but 2025 Dem momentum tempers threat. *Rating: Likely D*.
– **Florida (Special Election)**: Rubio’s seat; appointed interim (likely Gov. ally). Dems desperate in reddening state; potential Rep. Nikki Fried challenge. Trump’s +12% 2024 win makes it tough. *Rating: Safe R*.
#### Broader Implications for 2026
– **Democratic Path**: Hold GA/MI, flip ME/NC for +2 net (still short); need upsets in NH/OH or waves in TX (Ted Cruz, R) or IA (Chuck Grassley, R) to reach +4. 2025’s “anti-Trump” surge (e.g., Prop 50 redistricting) aids turnout in suburbs/youth.
– **Republican Defense**: Protect ME/NC while targeting open MI/GA; expand in NH/MN. Trump’s involvement risks alienating moderates, as seen in 2025 losses.
– **Wild Cards**: Economy (shutdown fallout), primaries (e.g., MAGA challenges in NC), and turnout (midterms average 40-50%). Specials in FL/OH add unpredictability. Analysts like FiveThirtyEight project GOP hold at 70% odds, but 2025 shifts it to 60-65%.

### Key 2026 U.S. House Battlegrounds
The 2026 U.S. House elections, set for November 3, will contest all 435 seats amid a razor-thin Republican majority (219-212, with four vacancies as of November 2025). Democrats need a net gain of just three seats to flip control, a feasible target given historical midterm penalties for the president’s party (average loss of 26 seats since 1950) and fresh backlash from the November 4, 2025, off-year results—where Democrats surged in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City while Proposition 50’s passage in California enables a new Democratic-favoring map potentially flipping 4-5 GOP seats. Republicans’ mid-decade redistricting gains in Texas (up to +5 seats) are offset by vulnerabilities elsewhere, including Virginia’s planned redraw under Democratic supermajorities. Early forecasts from Cook Political Report and DCCC suggest Democrats could net 10-15 seats if economic discontent (e.g., tariffs, shutdown fallout) persists, with turnout projected at 45-50% favoring urban/suburban voters.
Battlegrounds are defined by 2024 margins under 5%, presidential vote crossovers (e.g., Harris-won GOP seats), and post-2025 shifts. The DCCC targets 35 GOP-held districts; NRCC eyes 26 Democratic ones. Below, I focus on the top 10-12 core races (evenly split between parties for balance), drawn from analyses by Reuters, Governing, and Inside Elections.
#### Core Battlegrounds Table
| District | Incumbent/Status | Party | Key Dynamics and Candidates | Early Rating (Lean/Toss-up) | 2024 House Margin | 2024 Presidential Margin (Trump) |
|—————-|———————————–|——-|—————————–|—————————–|——————-|———————————|
| **CA-13** | John Duarte (R), seeking re-election | R | Central Valley ag district; Prop 50 redraw packs more Dem voters, threatening Duarte’s narrow hold. Dem challenger: Adam Gray (2024 foe). High Latino turnout key post-2025 Dem surge. | Toss-up (GOP hold) | R +1.2% | +12.5% |
| **CA-22** | David Valadao (R), seeking re-election | R | Prop 50 targets this Kern County seat for flip; Valadao (moderate) faces Dem state Sen. Jasmeet Bains. Ties to Trump’s tariffs hurt in farm belt. | Lean R (vulnerable) | R +2.8% | +15.1% |
| **CA-41** | Ken Calvert (R), seeking re-election | R | Riverside County suburban swing; new map dilutes GOP edge. Dem: Will Rollins (2024 loser). 2025 economic backlash boosts Dems. | Toss-up (GOP hold) | R +3.4% | +8.7% |
| **NY-17** | Mike Lawler (R), seeking re-election | R | Hudson Valley; one of three Harris-won GOP seats. Lawler skipped gov run to defend; Dem: Mondaire Jones. 2025 NYC Dem landslide inspires challenge. | Toss-up (GOP hold) | R +0.9% | -1.2% (Harris +1.2%) |
| **PA-07** | Susan Wild (D), seeking re-election | D | Lehigh Valley; Trump district Dem hold. Wild’s moderate appeal tested amid shutdown blame. GOP: Ryan McKenzie. | Lean D (vulnerable) | D +2.1% | +4.3% |
| **ME-02** | Jared Golden (D), seeking re-election | D | Rural north; only Dem to back GOP shutdown bill, drawing primary fire. Trump won by 10%; GOP: Austin Theriault. | Toss-up (Dem hold) | D +3.7% | +9.8% |
| **IA-01** | Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R), seeking re-election | R | Closest 2024 House race (6 votes in 2020); Dems eye flip with state Sen. Christina Bohannan rematch. Farm policy fights loom. | Toss-up (GOP hold) | R +0.2% | +10.5% |
| **MI-07** | Tom Barrett (R), seeking re-election | R | Open-ish after John James’s gov run; Detroit suburbs. Dem: Elissa Slotkin ally. 2025 NJ/VA wins signal Dem wave. | Toss-up (GOP hold) | R +1.5% | +2.1% |
| **AZ-06** | Juan Ciscomani (R), seeking re-election | R | Tucson border district; Prop 50 ripple + migration backlash. Dem: Kirsten Engel. Potential most even post-redraw. | Lean R (vulnerable) | R +2.9% | +3.6% |
| **NE-02** | Open (Don Bacon, R, retiring) | R | Omaha metro; one of three Harris-won GOP seats. Dem: Tony Vargas; GOP: Rep. Beth Washington. Bacon’s exit opens floodgates. | Toss-up (GOP hold) | R +4.1% | -0.5% (Harris +0.5%) |
| **CO-08** | Gabe Evans (R), seeking re-election | R | Denver suburbs; freshman’s narrow win. Dem: Yadira Caraveo rematch? 2025 youth turnout surge helps. | Toss-up (GOP hold) | R +1.8% | +1.2% |
| **TX-15** | Monica De La Cruz (R), seeking re-election | R | South Texas; new GOP map protects but DCCC targets Hispanic shift. Dem: Michelle Vallejo rematch. Trump +18% buffer. | Likely R | R +14.0% | +18.2% |
#### Emerging Battlegrounds
These could escalate with primaries, retirements (32 announced, 17 GOP), or national trends:
– **PA-10 (R: Scott Perry)**: Toss-up; MAGA firebrand in Harrisburg, Dems attack Jan. 6 ties.
– **WI-03 (D: Brad Pfaff, open seat)**: Lean D; after Derrick Van Orden’s retirement scandal, GOP eyes rural flip.
– **VA-07 (D: Abigail Spanberger, open)**: Toss-up; Gov.-elect Spanberger’s exit creates vacancy in Richmond suburbs; new Dem map favors hold but GOP pushes.
– **OH-09 (D: Marcy Kaptur)**: Lean D; Toledo, redistricting pending; Trump district vulnerability.
#### Broader Implications for 2026
– **Democratic Path**: Hold 16 Trump-district seats (e.g., ME-02, PA-07) while flipping 5-7 GOP ones (CA via Prop 50, NY/NE Harris seats) for +3 net. 2025’s “blue wave” (Dem +4-6% overperformance) and supermajorities in VA/NJ enable aggressive maps, projecting 6-9 gains. Fundraising edge: DCCC raised $150M by Q3 2025.
– **Republican Defense**: Protect TX redraw gains (+5 projected) and target 16 Biden-to-Trump Dem flips (e.g., ME-02). Trump’s involvement risks moderates; Bacon/Lawler/Fitzpatrick seats critical as Harris-won GOP trio. NRCC focuses on IA/MI/AZ.
– **Wild Cards**: Economy (tariffs/inflation), SCOTUS redistricting rulings (e.g., LA/GA cases), and turnout (midterms punish incumbents). Models forecast GOP loss of 19-28 seats, flipping the House 234-201 Dem. Special elections (e.g., VA vacancy) add volatility.

This is an absolute wall of text. TLDR version?
Yep.. pretty much filled up first thread.
Inquired about that a couple days ago, it was another of our valued members.
Don’t like hall monitors but, dang.
He’s been doing this for years.
I don’t understand why it’ts never been dealt with.
One good thing is he didn’t use italics, which he insists on doing when he posts lengthy blocks. When I see them, I skip to the next post.
I skipped these dense blocks because it would take way too much time to absorb and I doubt the effort would be worth it.
If he thinks he’s doing a service by getting info “in this record,” it seems the polite method would be to give a few sentence of summary at the top.
What did it say?/s I didn’t read it. 😎
How about your own opinion and an abbreviated version? As soon as I see anyone getting answers from an AI source, I immediately tune out.
First of all, an extremely detailed analysis CAN’T be any shorter. And are SD’s columns TLDR?
Facing constituent backlash in rural and red districts (where over half of marketplace enrollees reside), more than a dozen House Republicans have signed letters urging temporary extension of the subsidy. House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledges repeal’s improbability after 15 years of failed alternatives, using vague reform rhetoric to appease the base while hoping shutdown fatigue sways Democrats first, but polling in swing areas shows voter support for extensions.
So, the Reps are claiming they’re taking a “principled stand” which most voters in our easily propagandized, attention deficit political idiocracy don’t even realize they’re taking and only see the obvious negative consequences of a government shutdown caused by the Reps wanting to take away a subsidy which saves them a lot of money.
Democrat strategy bets that prolonged shutdown hardships will boost Democrat turnout for a “blue wave” during the midterms, similar to the one during Trump v1.0.
And the Reps are once again “too stupid” and somehow don’t realize their stand is damaging them far more than helping and didn’t foresee that it would?
Sorry, I don’t buy it and believe this is just another case of the Uniparty in action with the Reps pretending to be the opposition when they actually aren’t and sacrificing some seats in CONgress to damage Trump.
Also, as detailed in this book, this is just another donor extortion effort:

Why are you paying any attention to AI? Stop it. It’s like going to a soothhsayer.
I just did several rounds with some idiot AI. It lied to me. I showed it counter proof. It modified but still lied. Repeat countering lies with proof, get more lies. The new lies always include the proof I forced on it.
But it never admitted being wrong or lying. Even when a statement directly contradicted a previous statement, it never admitted being wrong.
When you recruit AI for your arguments you are joining a bald faced liar.

No Republicans voted for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies when the ACA was first passed. No Republicans supported the final version of the bill in either chamber of Congress.
The ACA, which includes the premium tax credit subsidies for health insurance affordability, was first established in 2010. It was signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010, after passing the Senate on December 24, 2009 (60-39 vote, with all Republicans opposed) and the House on March 21, 2010 (219-212 vote, with all 178 Republicans opposed). A follow-up reconciliation bill (H.R. 4872) passed the House on March 25, 2010 (220-211 vote), again with unanimous Republican opposition and no Senate vote needed due to budget reconciliation rules.
Earlier in the process, one Republican—Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao (R-LA)—voted for a preliminary House version (H.R. 3962) in November 2009, but he opposed the final Senate bill that became law. The subsidies were part of the core ACA framework from the start, though they took effect in 2014.
Why hasn’t a standalone bill on the subsidies reached a floor vote in either chamber? Getting rid of the filibuster has more potentially negative future consequences, so I can see why there is a reluctance to eliminate it.
The 2010 subsidies aren’t at issue.
What is at issue are the Biden Era Covid temporary emergency expansion of those subsidies.
Every Democrat voted to end them when they made them law.
And they renew their vote to end them with each attempt to extend them.
The Obama subsidies are permanent law and will continue.
The Biden expansion of subsidies to the rich and the illegals were scheduled to end and are ending.
It was an antifilibuster trick. By ending them they could sneak horrible spending increases past the filibuster.
Now they filibuster to make those abuses permanent. And they subvert with lies. Quit buying the lies!

I also wanted to tell you kudo’s for your local political reporting buddy. You can fight them and beat them. You just have to gather a handful or more of dedicated patriots, go to their meetings, film them and put up a website documenting their malfeasance. A small group did that and took out a County Manager, 2-3 county reps, County Democrat Chairperson, and brought in allot of concerned citizens to become active in fighting the county Democrat crime cartel. It can be done mate. Slainte
Good morning, Colkitto.
Actually, about 20 years ago, I played a key role in some local battles. That was a different time of my life, when local politics was an extracurricular activity.
At this point, I have other priorities, primarily focusing on an important interpersonal relationship and growing my business. After some work at a client late this morning, I WILL venture back out in the Market Square with my amp and guitar to bring my music to the locals and those visiting town this weekend for the artist open studios.
I expect that to be an enjoyable break from sloughing leaves and what not!
Busy time of the year my friend. I’ve been around music and musicians all my life. Music serves many purposes. I was in a Steely Dan mode awhile back. Now its Ramones.
Be well and of good cheer.
Somewhere along the line, I missed out on the Ramones.
Do you mean like this?
Or like this?
Try their “Road To Ruin” album/cd first. She’s The One is another great song.

Wow. As you noted, great narration.
The raucous sound of women screaming “shame” reminds me of Blue Jays screaming and Crows cawing at a hawk.

Bernie Sanders Just Admitted Trump Was Right About This HUGE Issue & Democrats Don’t Know What To Do
In the Virginia elections, the new governor, Spanberger, flipped 15 counties and cities carried by Youngkin in the last gubernatorial election. Mr. President, you have been sent a message. Start focusing on America First, go at it like you did in your campaign. I believe working with Sec Bennet you can do things via selective enforcement of the tax code. How about skipping tax on capital gains for one year (up to $100k)? I read a suggestion about allow ing capital losses above the $3,000 annual limit. Retirement withdrawals, skip taxes for a year (again, maybe up to $100k). This will give your base (and those not your base) a big tax break just ahead of the mid-terms. Go back to reminding folks about the no tax on tips and Social Security (sort of). Get back on the campaign trail!

Whatever happened to the promised temporary 10% cap on credit card debt?
I just watched “Black Hawk Down” on Tubi. The Somalians are just one group that were brought here to wreck our country and become Democrat wrecking ball voters. That was the idea behind importing them and dropping them in Caucasian Republican states. This is the Minneapolis.Minnesota version of what they did to Newark NJ as Jack Cashill revealed in his “Untenable” book. The destruction will expand outwards and engulf surrounding towns and destroy them just like what happened around Newark.
Deportation would reduce America’s Globull Warming Green House Gases, and globally. Use this against them.
The gov’t officials “at the top” were in on it and getting their cut.
But apparently we don’t investigate top gov’t officials in this country unless it’s President Trump. Not even PDJT’s DOJ touches them. Weird.

The Deep State used the Gay/Trans Patsies on purpose, in order to foment the Usual Left/Right Agit-Prop. There is even a phrase for this playbook, although the term escapes me at the moment. Hate serves their father of lies.
It is the same playbook the Deep State used with Sirhan, the Blind Sheik and Dirty Bob’s 9/11 Hi-jackers. They used Muslims to funnel the blowback elsewhere. That’s how they got the Act Like a Patriot Act and Endless Sandbox.
I’m not saying they were innocent. They weren’t. But it was a Deep State Show.
ps; I doubt Harmeet is even part of this. There are other snakes, and they will be exposed, so be it!

Based on what’s publicly available now, we know for certain the IC, foreign and/or domestic, was involved in the assassination of Mr. Kirk. We know those IC are ultimately responsible for the assassination.
And from what we’ve seen so far, we know the FBI is in coverup mode.
The traitorous intell agencies cross cultural/ethnic/religious/national boundaries. 9/11 is a prefect example of it and their treason. Multiple nations were involved with the object to do a “New Pearl Harbor” so they could launch those Clean Break Wars, a continuation of the Balkan wars against the Orthodox Christian Holocaust victim Serbian people.
So point to consider, what would be the link between nation’s intell agencies that crosses the before mentioned various divides?
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell’s lead down to under 2%

Sorry, I don’t buy it and believe this is just another case of the Uniparty in action with the mostly phony opposition party called “Republicans” willing to lose a few seats in Congress after the mid-terms to harm Trump. They allowed that harm during his first term, did nothing to investigate the 2020 election, and did nothing about the open borders during the Senile Manchurian Puppet’s regime. Why do you think they have suddenly changed during Trump v2.0? They’ll do whatever they can while appearing to be an opposition party to those paying inadequate attention as most voters are considering that Trump won in 2024 by only 1.6% of the popular vote against a clown show commie duo.

The following has been brought to you by Wall Street and their many owned politicians who allowed them to prove the great truth of an old commie adage being the basic message of a much longer Lenin quote, “Capitalists will sell you the rope you hang them with,” those pols not stopping the transfer of our industries to China along with IP, given or stolen without consequences.
Now, after they have more obviously revealed themselves through their actions to be a global adversary having claimed that was their goal in their writings for at least 40 years, we have an adversary we need to oppose while being forced to further strengthen them through purchases of products no longer manufactured here.

Something Doesn’t Add Up in New Jersey’s Election Results — and Pollsters Know It
BREAKING – Conservatives are now pointing to inconsistencies in the New Jersey gubernatorial race after nearly 500,000 new voters appeared from 2021 to 2025, more than double the state’s population growth over four years, with almost all of them going to Democrats.
40,000 mysterious ballots were pulled from Democrat Bergen County after Ciaterelli was declared the winner the last gubernatorial race by 30,000 some odd votes.
Maybe those election results should be challenged due to anomalies?
