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.

Mamdani influence is also in Albany. Proposed Legislation and Wishes of NY Democrat Socialists and Allies
Decarceration and Criminal Justice Reforms:Expand “Less is More” Act (2021): Limits re-incarceration for parole violations (e.g., drug use).
Decriminalize prostitution: “Cecilia’s Act for Rights in the Sex Trade” (S2513/A3251) – Removes penalties for sex workers, clients, and related activities (trafficking/coercion/minors remain criminal).
Eliminate penalties for drug possession: S3600 – Decriminalizes all controlled substances; creates task force for further reforms.
Extend youthful offender status to ages 19-25: S4330 (Myrie) – Seals records, reduces sentences for young adults; builds on Raise the Age.
Education (Anti-Charter Schools):Strip SUNY Trustees of charter authorization powers: S6800 – Leaves approvals to Board of Regents (aligned with teachers’ unions).
Housing and Rent Regulation:Statewide rent stabilization expansion: S4659 (REST Act) – Eases local declarations of housing emergencies using broader data (evictions, homelessness).
Commercial rent control (NYC-focused): S8319 – Caps rents for small businesses; creates guidelines board.
Taxation and Funding:Corporate tax hike: S953 (Hoylman-Sigal) – Increases rate; targets profit-shifting and pass-through income.
Fund “freebies”: Free buses, childcare, etc., via higher corporate taxes (Mamdani campaign proposal: ~11.5% rate).
more reason to consider extending the wall around marxist states.
The gates of hell will not prevail against us.
They will if we don’t grow a set of balls and put a stop to it…
Our “courts” ain’t gonna save us, our “congress” ain’t gonna save us, and unless The President declares an emergency and declares “Martial Law” the Cavalry ain’t gonna come riding over the hill to save us…
All of this talk ain’t gonna save us or our Nation.
Onward Christian Soldiers!
We have different Bibles.
Yep… Mine says: “The Lord helps those who help themselves”…
Also says: “Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weakling say, “I am strong!”…
This is a good time to reread Matthew, Mark , Luke and John, paying particular attention to the words in red.
That’s what I’m doing.
Thank you, good advice.
We are rewatching The Chosen also.
Hope, rejoice always.

Me too.
They’re going to have to eventually create a data base of people that have proven themselves to be here illegally and or are domestic enemies.
Should be check points put in place on all roads entering exiting the states and around cities that are harboring illegal immigrants and that have willingly let Communists/Marxist’s govern their cities. Be a quick way to discourage them from not enforcing constitutional law themselves.
Instead of chasing let them come to you until they do the job themselves.
Show your ID to leave or enter the area.
Most of the kids of Illegals are on Welfare. Wanna get sh!t birds off the teet? Start deporting the whole bunch based of addresses of Benefits recipients.
Bernie Sanders must be very happy!
AOC too….🤢

Who is Eugene Debs?
What was happening at that time….around the World?
The playbook hasn’t changed…just new faces on-Useful Idiots.

The media is trying to lead their followers to believe there is a divide in the Democrat Party …. as if ALL the endorsements by the “moderate and mainstream” democrats never happened.
There is no division in the democrat party … the emerging party is now the New Democrat Marxist Party, which is ironically run by the Financial Puppet Masters who are using the Marxists for population control.
Comical how the fact that those running the Democrat Party (down to the upper end of mid-level management) are rich elites and more in terms of wealth.
Also, comical how there is nothing democratic about the workings of the democrat party. Single candidates are APPOINTED and the faithful just rubber stamp that single offering on election day.
I expect that it won’t take long for this man to discover that the Mayor’s office is not all-powerful, and that it has many unpleasant responsibilities. Likewise, even in Albany it’s one thing to propose a bill, quite another to get it passed. The euphoria hasn’t worn off yet. They don’t yet understand that, when you have a real State and a City to run, that’s not an easy task.
“I’ve been elected! NOW what?” 🤡
Please dont think effectivness will prevent this crowd from actions. Their ideas sound like a plan to destroy the city, and any semblance of the founding US principles, and any family atructure as well. One thing the left does very well is break things.
They really are going to have to wall it off.
To keep the NY citizens in the city? A new iron curtain?
They really are going to have to wall it off.
I lived in NJ in the 70s and went to NYC several times including Harlem. It was fascinating. The Metropolitan Opera House, The Guggenheim , Empire State Building, Broadway, Greenwich Village. I would have loved a Brownstone somewhere. I rode the subways with no fear. It is a tragedy of epic proportions.
NYS is run by the psychopath politicians in the NYC area. The rest of the State has no say.
Not True, the governor has allowed it to happen. She could have easily prevented or removed him from taking office to begin with, and enforced immigration laws, but chose to ignore the law, encouraged some of it to happen, and is doing nothing to stop it.
If we had a separation, in time the more conservative half of the country would be forced to go in to the other half and save them from themselves. If Wall Street moves to Texas, Texas will have to do something about the coming Islamic/Socialist takeover of that state.
Extend youthful offender status to ages 19-25:
That’s the prime age of the most virulent offenders (“teens” and such, even the ones who are no longer teenaged)
Might as well just give a green light to all “teen” criminals, if you gnomesayin’
“Ollie ollie all ‘teens’ in free!”
… if you gnomesayin’
Well New York City (and NY State) is going to be quickly running out of taxpayer’s money as the criminal element, especially teens and young adults, runs the streets where there are no police.

“You Can’t Purge Tucker”
by Scott Greer
“No matter how hard it tries, Conservative Inc. can’t purge Tucker.”
The article discusses the changes with media and some history of previous purges.
https://chroniclesmagazine.org/web/you-cant-purge-tucker/
The choice is easy…
Pro-foreign wars, pro-foreign influence in U.S. politics, pro-foreign influence in Churches, social media and MSM, pro-unfair trade, anti- middle class Heritage American citizens and anti-small business.
or
The wing of the republican party that is more aligned with Tucker Carlson, fair trade and Hemispheric defense strategy.
Of course, I choose Tucker’s side. If there is any division in the Republican party, the anti-Tuckers need to revaluate their priorities and come to the Tucker’s side in the name of right Christian and Christian values unity.
indeed.
this is not a “psyop.” asking hard questions and pointing out difficult facts is not “divisive” unless you are allergic to logic and reason.
i maintain that those who are willing to hear the arguments and then engage in debate are the ones who are trying to SAVE the republic; and the ones who want to dismiss people for doing so are the ones who are dividing.
You can count the real Conservatives in the republican party on the fingers of one hand.
The other “republicans” are simply Dim-Commies pretending to be “conservative” in order to win elections.
I learned the hard way that ALL Conservatives in the Republican Party are Cons.
They are just an op to lock you into their controlled factions.
Your bosses congratulate you, Slick.
At least you are finally honest about being fake MAGA.
Divide away dear.
How in the world is that anti MAGA, “slick”?
Take a gander at what Jesus said in Mark 12 regarding the ‘Parable of the Tenants’ then we can have a discussion about who is fake MAGA.
AMERICA NOW!
As a Christian, my understanding of Scripture is causing me to part ways with Tucker. I am an offense to him, and he to me…
Laters..
..sound like you may like Fuentes…
Tucker claims to have been attacked and clawed up by a demon as he lay in bed with his wife and for dogs. He’s as loony as Clowndace Owens these days.
I was not going to do this, but after reading an anticle this morning on President Trump and the people of Virginia decided to say what I think .MY gosh, they are saying he talks about Biden too much and I guess some of these people never watch the news that shows how the Dems are dragging Biden out to scream and yell about President Trump, and of course people now think that they are against him because they say THE WAY HE IS ACTING, TO BAD YOU PEOPLE NEED to grow up, He is working every day to bring this country back from a Biden off the cliff senenio and so go ahead vote for the dems, The way they are now is something that is going to only get worse and so go ahead and give them back the house or the senate in 26 and you will live to regret it I know one thing, I will stand beside President Trump and pray that he makes it threw the next three years and leaves office the way he came in, He loves this country and has been trying to get the money flowing back to this country and to make sure we dont go broke as a nation
He and his admins are doing all they can to make sure peoples lives get a little easier than it was under Biden but of course some people say its still are bad as it was under Biden, It takes time to get things turned around and he works every day, He may go play Golf but he is always working and never just sitting around doing nothing… IT TAKES TIME AMERICA WE HAD BEEN ON THE WRONG PATH FOR 4 YEARS AND THERE WAS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO CAME HERE FROM 135 NATIONS ACROSS THE WORLD AND NOW THEY ARE DOING ALL THEY CAN TO UNDERMINE AMERICA AND WHAT SHE STANDS FOR give it a chance to turn around
The democrats are using the same playbook that they used during President Trump’s 1st term. Create chaos, confusion and a ton of noise and repeatedly blame it on President Trump. Make the people so sick of the noise that they will accept that it is President Trump’s fault. Unfortunately, it seems to be working.
In a micro aspect, the dims are working it here at the Treehouse, we can see it and unfortunately there are good people here that have backed off from being active contributors. We need more good voices to drown out the noise from the commie dog wads.
President Trump Won!
Gracias Dios!!!!!
Yes. The Dems are masters of this and the reason it succeeds is because they OWN THE MEDIA. If the skewed up message gets out there to the masses, the Dems win. This is why the Dems have been largely able to get the shut down blame from on themselves to square on the republicans. The media has done that.
The republicans are out there everyday trying to play catch up on the shutdown and yes they are being truthful, giving facts to counter the Dem left lying, but it barely gets any airtime and is presented in a completely biased way. The media is making the repubs look like they are making excuses and the ones lying. They are more than happy to blame Trump for all of it even though he can’t change anything re the shut down only the Senate and House can.
The Dems are again driving the narrative, in control, happy onboard the media engine that makes it all happen in the eyes of the public. The same old out smarting the repubs with the complicit media making it happen as usual. Either the repubs want this or they are too dumb to fix what happens to them every time they start to get some traction in the public eye.
THE ENTIRE DEM PLAYBOOK RIGHT NOW IS TO WIN THE 2026 MIDTERMS. They are slanting everything towards making the public believe Pres Trump has gone off the rails again, is hurting the average American and is causing chaos, when in truth, it is the Dems/left who are the instigators as usual. What a tired old game they play but it still works for them so why shouldn’t they keep doing what they have done since they bet big on the American voters being easy to sway using the media to get Obama elected. If it isn’t broke why change it. They change the details but keep the framework intact. NO ONE STOPS THEM from doing exactly what they wan, at least consistently. The repubs and we the people have won some battles but right now we are in grave danger of losing it all back to them again.
One year to learn again how to defeat them.
Where is everybody in the Republican Party, the election planners and Team Trump on being prepared and active against this same old same old garbage? Go shove the media’s faces in their muck of slanted tainted reporting they do. Force them to tell the truth UPFRONT. Stop playing from behind.
Hate to tell you but I have been on a branch maybe 12 to 13 years. Whole flock of different birds.
I wonder why the Republicans don’t create some chaos when the Democrats are in charge? Instead they roll over like a beaten dog. Trump has changed that some, but not enough yet.
<I was not going to do this…>
But I decided to not use paragraphs 🙂
Sorry about that, will try to do better next time.
No problem…Just kidding.
I know…that’s not like me to joke 🙂
I thought your period (.) key was missing but then I saw the … 🙂
I apologize in advance
We, the USA, have been on the wrong path since LBJ had JFK assassinated and took over as President.
And as long as the election fraud is allowed nothing will change. Since 2020, if not longer, the republicans have known, witnessed and seen election fraud in multiple states occur. Trump has been the victim of it, yet weak statements like Voter ID and only US Citizens allowed to vote, have been made. This does not tackle the problem of the voting machines, mail in voting and dirty voter rolls.
The Uniparty machine has election fraud down pat to where we can see it when it happens live. In the recent NJ governor’s election the voter rolls showed an increase of over 465,000 registered democrats from 2021 to 2025. This number is larger than actual population increase for the state. In 2024 California stole 4 house seats by counting mail in votes for three weeks after election day even though the republican candidates led/won on election day. Voter rolls loaded with ‘voters’ whose residence is the local Walmart or 7-11. In California a voter, who had voted for 20 years, was found to have had the local college dorm room as their residence for those 20 years. In Florida in the 2024 election the Pinellas County election voting machines were set-up to where if the voter did not vote for every item on the ballot the machine counted it as a blank ballot and kicked it out to be adjudicated. So if you only wanted to vote for President and nothing else your ballot was counted as a blank ballot and adjudicated by the Pinellas election officials, who happen to be democrat.
And on top of the election fraud Republicans are notorious for not getting out to vote in midterms.
From what I have seen from PT’s style….it is about timing and having the right leverage. I think he knows there is no incentive for RINOs to change the vote fraud.
Unfortunately the middle to lower class just see grocery prices and utilities prices. My grandaughter who is trying to make it on her own (voted Trump) was just complaining about her power bill . My daughter who is 40 talks bout food prices constantly and wonders why our President keeps telling us food is going down. These are immediate needs and trying to explain that core inflation has come way down since Biden…goes in one ear and out the other….had to tell her the truth that I have never seen food prices come down with few exceptions. PT would be the wiser to send some of that tariff money their way instead of 20 billion to Argentina.
People are needing help and reminding them of tax cuts they are already getting…if at all ….cause low income do not pay taxes… is little comfort. PT does seem to be a little out of touch with what goes on in the real world of lower income. Another example….Expecting low income people.. where the obesity problem mostly shows up..expecting them to get excited about paying $400 a month for the once $1300 a month weight loss drug. It might as well be $1300.
Food and energy prices have gone down.
Here’s some perspective:
https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/food-inflation-in-the-united-states/
With the exception of eggs, food prices have definitely NOT gone down around here (Oakland County Michigan). And gasoline is actually up a bit from a year ago.
Also the article that you linked to says prices have indeed risen…
“The average price of food in the United States rose by 3.1% in the 12 months ending September, after posting an annual increase of 3.2% in August, according to the latest inflation data published October 24, 2025, by the U.S. Labor Depart
ment’s Bureau of Labor Statistics”
I don’t always understand Trump, but I trust him to run this country better than his enemies can…
LOL desanctimonius ended H1B.
A couple of days ago This clown’s supporters are attacking Byron Donalds for Governor, suggesting that Fishback should run for Governor and his comment is “WOW”. clown splitter strategy right before your eyes
Seriously, please take a look at fishback X/twitter feed linked above. It’s easy to see he’s running an influence operation. Attacking Donalds to the benefit of Desantis who is butthurt President Trump did not endorse his wife. He attacks President Trump often as well. He comes out of nowhere and now he’s on media from fox to cnn. Some bios of Fishback list him as operating from Wisconsin where he’s a resident. Probably working with Paul Ryan on the Rinos early 2028 splitter strategy.
This is what The Trump Administration is doing right now regarding H1B visa’s.
Fo
Stop all immigration until we “figure out what the hell is going on” and assimilate or remove the ones we already have.
Remove all immigrants currently occupying job positions, send them back until we reach full employment of American citizens. Aggressively go after the C-suite executives criminally for every immigration violation on the books.
Enforce the law against communism that was passed during the Eisenhower Administration… It is still a valid law, bondi just needs to start arresting commies like the new “mayor” of NYC..
Who was Eugene Debs……😉😉
Mamdani quoted Eugene Debs — he had a long Jewish history – The Forward
Bernie Sanders’ 1979 Eugene Debs Documentary – YouTube
Don’t quote me on this, Gypsy…. Going strictly by my failing memory.
But if I remember my High School history, Debs was a minor politician who ran for President several times a hundred years or so ago….
He ran early 1900s before the Bolshevik revolution and hence called himself a “socialist” rather than a communist, ’cause communism was not well known in the USA at the time…
Bernie did a documentary on Debs🤷♀️
First implementation…..1918 was the Fulcrum.
The assassination of Tsar Nicholas and family.
The flashpoint 💥🔥
Marxism/ Socialism = the idea 💡
Trotsky/Lev Bronstein = a leader
Bolsheviks = the mob
Communism = result
Internationally was ultimate goal 🤷♀️
Eugene Deb was part of the ultimate goal.
👩🏫👩🏫The younger generations are now doing
some fantastic research…going viral! 👏👏
I’m afraid that if we depend on Bondi to save, or even help MAGA move forward, we’re in very deep trouble.
Amen and Amen!!! Why don’t you run for President in 2028?
I’d vote for AOC first. She’s not AI.
So Mrs. Sunshine is AI? Didn’t know that!
No….people are just not used to seeing
intelligent comments.
And that some would vote for AOC….
🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Ahem, Arrested Intelligence?
Absolutely. We already have USC 8. I don’t know why that is not being enforced. If it was, all the politicians in sanctuary areas, universities, colleges, corporations, and anyone else harboring illegals would be in jail, and those illegals would be gone.
It is not being enforced simply because bondi is incompetent…
You are correct.
I believe there should be a time cap for those that have made a life here over the span of several years. Yes the came illegally but were allowed to stay and build a life by the politicians and corporate, big and small, world. It would be beyond cruel to someone who , built a business, owns a home, had a family here for say 20+ years to drop them off in a country where they have nothing and know no one. If they have been here under 10 years then bye. Plus those that came under Biden are easy to locate….welfare programs
But never be naturalized or able to vote.
There has to be a penalty for illegal entry into the country. You want to be a citizen? Go home and wait your turn. Sacrifice makes better citizens.
Pffft. Why would they bother? They’re voting now and they have been for the past 25 years.
They’re not in the least interested in becoming naturalized when they’re able to game the system and avoid being subject to the laws and rules we as citizens are required to follow.
Disagree completely.
If the bank robber isn’t discovered for forty years, living a lawful life, should we let him keep the rest of the money?
NO. We need to do everything possible to discourage such behavior.
Amen.
Bullshit.
Beyond cruel??
Beyond cruel is forcing law abiding US citizens to continue to absorb the costly and deadly effects of allowing illegals to remain here who knowingly came here illegally and then willfully refused to assimilate and become legalized under the relaxed laws enacted for their benefit at the cost of YOUR civil rights.
The most foolish, ignorant and deadly thing Americans have done with regard to illegal immigration is to buy in to the delusional idea that it’s a matter of opinion.
The purpose and intent of the invasion is and has always been conquest. This is an undeniable fact. The invaders laugh at uninformed people like you.
Illegal immigration is a scourge. Surviving it is a matter of law, constitutional protections for US citizens and national sovereignty.
I wonder how many actual jobs exist requiring degrees in ethnic studies, women’s studies, art history, etc. So many degrees are practically useless in the real world.
Had to chuckle today when I heard the comment that the longer one went to college, the more stupid they become…an observation on so many of the ridiculous courses offered today.
Young people need a stake in the economy. They are currently delaying marriage and home buying due to student debt. IMO they were preyed on by the system. We need relieve them of this burden and make sure it never happens again. Congress, under Trumps leadership needs to craft a bill that includes student loan relief and also makes it so that only colleges and universities are able to make student loans. And also make student loans subject to bankruptcy. This would go a long way to cleaning up our education system as it would eliminate worthless degrees in grievance studies.
I know of a ‘student’ that was prudent,
and paid for college, during college.
[ and yes, it was not easy, but worthwhile : ) ]
p.s.
the proliferation of government sponsored student loan$, ( deferred re-payment – for a long, long time )
has encouraged many colleges to charge higher tuition, room and board, and book fees.
[ which then means, higher and higher student loan amounts ]
[ any just how prudent (or not) are these ‘students’ when they are in school – spending loan money (on what? some know ___) ? ]
how many students today, will use summer or christmas break to:
-paint a house
-work as an intern at an employer (to gain experience)
-get a summer job
-mow lawns
-avoid over spending on … wants… and learn to discern wants from needs…
-help a family member with chores around the house or farm – help people?
hint: each person is different. Yet each is one of God’s children
Some do help others,
others miss expect to be helped by others…
The faith life journey can have many bends, valleys, hills, and valleys again…
Taking the high road has many opportunities, and positive efforts can help…
imho
Your first line sounds like the beginning of a good poem. Possibly a limerick
I agree with with most of what you said, with the exception of loan forgiveness. They took on the debt and got a Bachelors Degree in beer bonging, Allow them to file bankruptcy, not the walkaway unscathed type of bankruptcy, they have to earn their way back to credit worthiness with sweat equity.
yep.
It’s not easy coming out of college with no debt.
Forgiving the debt for any is not far to those who struggled and didn’t go on vacations or pay rent with the loans.
How about some actual education in high school?
And that is only federal loans, private loans still have to be paid.
Many people don’t know how and why it actually happened. It was never greedy colleges – it was always Wall Street.
When they realized they could no longer peddle “subprime” (worthless …) mortgages, they needed something else to “securitize.” Hence: SLABS = Student Loan Asset-Backed Securities. Messers Dodd & Frank added that the debts, unlike the older mortgages, could not be discharged in bankruptcy.
Of course, “backed” is a euphemism, since TRILlions of dollars’ worth of these have been sold, each having no traceable lineage to the loans that supposedly “back” them. Instead, they sell “‘n’th derivatives,” each one layered only on the layer beneath it: 100% thin air including the basement.
So, now you know. And you also know why the poor students are screwed, and will remain so. Greed conquers all …
“The poor students are screwed” because the colleges, universities got greedy…
I enrolled at Texas U in 1962, the “matriculation fee” was $25.50 per semester.
The aforementioned matriculation fee paid: tuition, admission to football, basketball, baseball, track, other athletic events, admission to all University sponsored events such as speakers, concerts, etc.
After paying the matriculation fee, a student had to pay for their books and for room and board wherever they chose to live… I always bought used text books for around $40 per semester…
We didn’t have these fancy “college loan” programs, so I put myself through Texas U by working as a waitress at a restaurant out on Lake Travis…
When I graduated, I didn’t owe a single dollar to anyone so I bought myself a graduation present, a new car…
Colleges, Universities charging these enormous fees are simply greedy to the Nth Degree of Magnitude…
I’m open to no interest on student loans- but not student loan relief- everyone needs to pay back what they borrowed.
I also agree that young people need a stake in the economy.
The interest will be paid by someone, why not the students? I did take out any loans for them, I won’t pay their loan interest either.
How much would you loan out and for how long with no interest?
Remember that money belongs to people that invested in government securities and they are owed their money back plus interest. Do you think they will forgive the government, or do you prefer the US Mint just produce that money out of thin air? Like covid relief.
“They are currently delaying marriage and home buying due to student debt.”
The Democrats claim to want to make housing more affordable.
The home they might buy would decline in price.
“Young people need a stake in the economy.”
There’s no need to be in a rush to buy an overpriced house.
Debating food assistance with Liberals online this morning. When i mentioned the ability of people that get help the Leftists didn’t understand what ability means. I literally had to explain it to them like a child. If you’re able to work, you work. Doesn’t matter if you don’r make enough money to completely get you off food stamps. You still work.
Most were asking for higher wages and expect President Trump to demand, or force companies to dictate higher wages. This is what were up against. They want Authoritative rule, but they don’t want king Trump to do it. Even wanting it is ludicrous.
I’m old, I can’t remember a time during good or bad economic times for me/family when I expected something from ‘government’ aka your tax dollars. I was raised that I needed to figure it out. Sink or swim, and I got a mouth full of water a number of times.
Most SNAP beneficiaries are obese. They can live for years on just water and electrolytes. Plus they get the added benefit of achieving a healthy weight. Plus they will be more motivated to get a job, any job.
Taking away SNAP benefits is the most humane thing we can do.
Hand up or hand out rhetoric. If you subsidize someone’s lifestyle after a while, many will expect it. It is inhumane to not expect people to work, people are not to be raised like pets.
News Flash….We are ALL treated worse than pets We are serfs 100%.
“Most SNAP beneficiaries are obese.” You have a tendency to post mere opinions as if they were facts. Are you basing your opinion on photos of people standing in grocery lines with full carts of junk food, or do you actually have a cite to offer here?
As for living “for years on just water and electrolytes,” you forgot to mention that attempting to do so will most likely lead to starvation.
The most human thing to do is make food affordable. Do away with policies and rules that make food more expensive and unhealthy……Why do we always fall for blaming each other rather than putting the blame where it should go.
Like what exactly? The farmers sure aren’t getting rich. Farm equipment, seed, feed & fuel cost a lot of money. Laborers who work at meat and produce processors sure don’t make a lot of money.
My wife used to word with a woman who said she was going to quit her job and let the government pay for her apartment and pay for her kids. She did it too…
use to work…
So they’ve had money for food all along.
When I was young and struggling to make ends meet, I got a job plus two more! I usually always had at least 2 jobs – worked extremely hard and had 5 year goals. I hated NOT working! Never asked for a handout or went on unemployment. I also remember surviving on a loaf of bread, a bag of fish sticks and cans of soup each week. Eventually, I only needed to work one job.
my brother fell for that crap. He wants a “living wage” for everybody and he probably wants Trump to make it happen too. SMH. No need to argue with him….waste of breath.
One possible reason some on the left think that way is the fact that we do not have an economy based on true capitalism any longer….it has become rigged as well…. From the IRS rules to FED policies and capital access. Wall Street has drowned out Main Street.
People on the left and right know that the system is rigged. Most Corporate , big business, big banks, will not voluntarily treat workers fairly. In my lifetime I have seen vaca time gone, insurance gone, pensions gone, most importantly job security gone. With AI it is going to get much worse.. “Crony capitalism” anyone?
Remember a few years ago Sundance wrote an article about how demand and supply no longer determine the price of things because of the monopolies created by globalism. It is a pickle .
I think PT is on the best possible path to right the ship. For those that are low info or don’t have enough time in the day to research wont understand what he is trying to achieve. While it is still true that it is possible to work hard and better yourself, it is much harder.

Sorry for the duplication don’t know what I did LOL
That occasionally happens here. I once had a comment repeat itself seven times. It was really embarrassing. lol
If it continues happening you can send an email to admin at [email protected] and they can take care of it.
Life’s lessons start should early.
And if you try to save?
You’re cooked….
THIS!!!!
Thank you, Bets, for sharing this! I have two kids who paid their own way through college, have jobs that pay well (but not exorbitantly) and they both work hard, often 50+ hours per week, with an hour commute each way.
They are beyond frustrated at the “system” especially when they see how much of their paycheck is gone before it gets to them, and how that money is being spent by a corrupt, out-of-touch government! They blame both parties and they are not wrong to do so, IMHO!
And the constant lecturing from people who grew up under a different set of rules is NOT helping!
That’s called “Adulting, the Reality Show”, mom.
In fact wouldn’t that be a good idea for an actual tv reality show?? Doubt it would get good ratings, so would be cancelled.
And no, they are not wrong. Kudos on their upbringing and discernment early on.
Life is short, sharp, and often brutish. Part of me believes it is about to get a whole lot ” brutish-er”. So the soonest young people understand that they are considered special by no one save for their families (one hopes) all the better to prepare, especially for their own when the time comes.
Your children’s education was not organic. It didn’t simply manifest itself spontaneously from nowhere. Well done, dear mom 👍🏻

I had more to say about that but guess I’m so slow at posting, the page refreshes before i can finish so I lose it all. Happens so often even on videos, I don’t post much anymore. But I still read.
That’s strange. This site never refreshes pages for me. Neither on my old MS Surface running Windows 10, nor on my newer Mac.
K, does it on my iPad only. So weird.
I’m on a Kindle, sis, and a while back I was having this problem all the time…
Long comments, as I am wont to do, near the end, then POOF!! Refresh or some intrusive notice my device was being scanned. Comment gone.
In the end if I could see that I’d be typing for a while, I installed a free notepad, typed my comment, then cut and pasted it. After an annoying while, the interruptions stopped. I do hope you’ll find your difficulty will, like mine, right itself.
Thx Betsy, notepad is a good idea. Sometimes I’ve used it for commenting here but often just jump right in directly and then if I’m not lucky…POOF, like ya said. 😍
Eating all the fries and half the burger would be closer to reality! JMO
Listening to a podcast and the commentators are discussing the “goal” of the Uniparty to allow illegals in to our country, violating our laws, in order to increase their voter roles. Let’s get real – does ANYONE honestly believe our voting system isn’t completely rigged??
I disagree that “increasing voter roles” is the goal. Nah. No way. The thieves have already stolen from the cookie jar, the treasury tills, the good silver and even our Grandmas’ teeth.
I believe all of this is a “gunshot effect” game to make the law abiding citizens… and dare I say law abiding politicians (I know, I know… there are NONE)… causing us to scatter and tamp out fires here, there, everywhere… to keep us busy. Busy, busy, busy – combatting lawfare, draining financial resources, eliciting fears of retaliation, controlling the public “mind”, keeping 2A citizens artillery in their holsters, protecting “pet programs” like “Obama-not-care” to keep American Citizens imprisoned and give them the get-a-way a-la Nancy Pelosi.
What if. What if. President Trump suspended everything, shut down the whole corrupt Ponzi scheme that is the United States Government… shut down the internet… suspended all commerce with no threats of eviction or retribution to the American public… and directed all attention to GOING AFTER THE CRIMINALS. It very well may be the Great Reset – and frankly, it’s time. We are quickly heading towards Revelation where those who take the mark of the beast will not be able to conduct commerce. And if it needs to happen – then so be it – to bring on the coming of The Lord.
None of this “litigate into perpetual eternity” and no more DISTRACTIONS. And when the evildoers are collected, publicly tried by military tribunal for TREASON, Obama, Hillary, all their acolytes and every single person who supported or subverted the rule of law and order in violation of our Constitutional rights – punish them so severely and so publicly – that their legacy will forever be a stain on human history.
Make it so bad – and tell the illegals “they’re next” – that you’ll watch a mass migration exiting this country to fast that all our social support systems will be immediately set free from the pressure to support these illegal marauders.
Trump needs to cut the heads from the Hydra and burn the body to the ground – and make it SO PUBLIC – no one will ever rise to try this garbage again. The American Public needs recompense and we will never restore law, order, or Truth (that anyone can believe) until we set our eyes on some Holy Retribution. And no… Christians are not just supposed to lay around and take it – Matthew reconciliation principles only apply to brother and sisters in Christ. demons must be vanquished and they must be destroyed.
There’s no kumbaya with satan.
Corporations love immigration because it adds to the consumer base. More sales.
That’s ridiculous. Why would ILLEGAL immigrants buy anything? They get everything for free… right up to and including staying in luxury hotels.
Buying with our tax dollars…walmart loves it.
Walmart receives the most SNAP dollars, capturing about 25% of all sales made with EBT benefits. Other retailers like Kroger, Costco, and Amazon follow, but Walmart remains the dominant grocery destination for SNAP shoppers. – supermarket news
Where I live in Silicon Valley the illegal men (mostly Mexicans/Latinos) work in construction and home services, gardening (really just mow and blow but I don’t know what else to call it), and many other non corporate jobs. Every day the Home Depot parking lot has dozens of them looking for day jobs. I was in one of the local Mexican markets this morning buying a couple of things, the store was busy and I had to wait in line to pay. They buy plenty.
The single women work in nursing homes and small retail businesses until they get married, then it seems they become full time mothers with 3+ kids.
So explain to me why corporations are willingly destroying their customer base by replacing them with AI robots?
Plus cheaper labor
He’d be impeached, thrown out of office and probably jailed if he tried to do that
Revelation states that *only* those who accept the mark of the beast are permitted to buy and sell. I assume that the rest of us will be shunned, x’d out of their carefully constructed matrix and relegated to that puddle on the outskirts of their 15 minute cities as depicted by Sundance.
If persecution means sacrificing temporary earthly comforts in order that I remain a human being worthy of eternal life, then I am prepared to take it like a woman. No regrets.
Would someone more politically savvy than me please explain why Marjorie Taylor Greene seems to have decided to become the darling of the Democrats?
She didn’t. Watch her interview with Tucker Carlson.

It was really a great interview!

👍👏👏👏
I can’t, and I doubt anyone else can either.
I saw a cleverly done meme with MTG suddenly morphing/shape shifting into Liz Cheney.
Shocking really…
Rumors are flying that MTG is trying to position to be Vice-President in the next election, so maybe just trying to get message to women from all parties for support. We shall see when her campaign donors appear I suppose.
My opinion is that since the new Speaker of the House doesn’t pay her much mind, she has lost alot of political leverage with Republicans.
She has always struck me as an opportunist and a glory houndette.
Of course I could be wrong here.. But this is how she strikes ke having watched her over her career in politics.
I do not believe you are wrong about MTG.
She loves the spotlights and camera but lacks in the action part.
I always remember her cozying up to McCarthy as he was a being replaced, sis. Unseemly I thought.
Democrats want nothing to do with her. She’s an evil opportunist.
I am worried Trump World is insulated in a bubble and they surrounded by establishment types feeding them bad advice.
Trump did very well with the under 35 crowd. However, his support has eroded significantly with them since his re-election. He has literally lost 50% of their support.
They voted for what they feel is true America First: no new wars or funding them, mass deportations, elimination of H1B visas and replacement immigration, major cuts to international students taking top college spots, an actual budget and no trillion dollar deficits, to be able to retire, a respectable cost of living…
Trump simply hasn’t delivered.
Since Mamdani was elected, Trump has told America how great the economy is, how much more affordable groceries allegedly are, and now……50 year mortgages. Hunh???? Who is he kidding? I see why they see it as a slap in the face. The 50 year mortgage thing is of course not going over well and honestly nothing to be proud of supporting and pushing.
His support will continue to erode with the youngins until there is an internal administration evaluation on top priorities. That is just the truth. They are sabotaging themselves for 2026 and I don’t think they even realize it.
I don’t have a problem with that… It could be an option
As a former banker, I have a HUGE problem with it! The difference in interest paid between a 15 and 30 year mortgage is a much larger number than most people realize. The difference in payments is only about 25% more but the difference in interest paid is more than double! Extending the payments out for 50 years might seem like a good idea to make homes “more affordable” in the short term but it is an awful idea in the long term!
Agree 100%. I would never get a 30 year mortgage for the reason you mention. A 50 year just seems like a horrible financial decision. Forget having your house paid off before you retire.
But almost no one teaches financial literacy anymore! It’s no longer “how much house/car can you afford overall?” but is instead “how much of a monthly payment can you handle?” with zero explanation of how much more money that longer loan will cost you in the end!
My first reaction to seeing fifty year mortgage was: I guess he’s giving up on fixing the housing issue with increasing supply by lowering the barriers to new construction and lowering demand with deportations.
If a person needs a fifty year mortgage, they can’t afford the house.
Same as a 7 year or more car loan. If you have to finance it that long, you can’t afford it.
We in this house were just talking about car loans.
My British husband worked for Peugeot, Audi, Rover, and VW in the UK. Unlike here (where he worked for Lexus and Cadillac), he saw a customer from beginning to end, which included sorting out finance. He is a figures man first and foremost.
He just commented on the times in the UK when his dealerships became nervous when loan terms started moving from the usual 24 months to 36 because interest rates were creeping up (15% in the 80s…can you imagine??) The concern was that customers would be upside down in their vehicles at the end. Something he encountered here when he immigrated with some customers as the loan periods moved relentlessly upwards.
In fact, he has warned many he has dealt with here of this danger; and he has had to tell many wanting to trade in their vehicles for newer models that the only thing he could suggest would be to throw their arms around their cars and love them, so upside down were they.
The question always was, how unscrupulous were the sales people who put their financially illiterate customers into new cars, knowing this was a likely outcome…all to increase the numbers of sales which corporate mandated, no matter how they had to accomplish it.
Something he would never do himself. Yet he always made his numbers and had the highest customer ratings, along with those who were repeat customers time after time because he was ethical in his dealings with them.
He’s been retired for 6 years, and we were unsure if it was 84 or 96 months now…
Onward and upward!!
The Dodd-Frank act caps home mortgages at 30 years currently.
By proposing to explore a 50 yr, something Congress would need to enact, President Trump is being Trumpian in goading the CrapWeasels™️ back to work.
Americans are also now paying more attention to actual housing matters as a result. A good thing, at any time.
Sunshine indeed.
Irony.
It’s not the opposite of wrinkly..
heh
Cutty Sarcasm!
The average time people spend in their house before moving is 11.9 years. Most people never see a mortgage through to the final payment and never intend to. If your goal in life is to pay off a mortgage, then 50 years to do it is financially illterate.
But if you have no desire to pay off a mortgage, low payments with long term are better … financial freedom and flexibility. The division between interest and equity in the payments is an abstraction if the goal isn’t the letter saying your mortgage has been paid.
People see it as an accomplishment for some reason, then a few years after paying it off sell the house anyway to move into a retirement facility.
The few percent paid in mortgage interest is small considering the money used for a paid-in-full cash purchase is freed up and can easily be used to make 15-20%/year on the market or other investments.
Over the span of my 30 year mortgage, I’ve been averaging 13.5% on other investments, dwarfing the fixed interest rates. Very glad I didn’t lock all that seed capital up by paying cash for a mortgage-free house.
That’s right. As homeowners get the benefit of an appreciating investment, they can also deduct taxes and interest on their tax returns with President Trump’s SALT deduction increase.
The house I bought in a desirable area to escape the Covid lockdowns has almost doubled in value already. If I wanted to I could sell it now, pay off the entire mortgage and use the built-in cash equity to purchase a smaller property with no mortgage at all.
One darned good and compelling reason to institute Life Finance classes in high school…mandatory!!! Teach young people just how much money they will part with over the life of a 30 year mortgage, among other interest bearing debt instruments like credit cards. And that’s just for starters…
Fifty years assuming one has a steady, well paying job continuously with none of those pesky events which upend everyone at some point in their lives…illness and redundancy to name only two. Or the advent of technological “advances” which will eliminate whole sectors of employment. We are seeing only the beginning of this development right now.
Mercy me, President Trump!!
Many years ago, I had a young man come to my desk after getting his first “real” job out of college. He was 20 years old and I told him that we were going to set up an IRA and he was going to start contributing $100 per month to it. When I showed him how much money he would have in 40 years, vs how much he would have if he waited until he was 30 to start funding his retirement, he was so excited!
Later that week, his father showed up, looking for me…he wanted to bring all of his accounts, including a rather large business account, to our bank, because he said I had taught his son more about financial planning than any corporate banker had ever bothered to explain to him when discussing his accounts!
Smiling here, sis.
What a reward for your instruction.
More the enthusiasm you awakened in that young man than the new accounts…
Though those were a lovely bonus you could never anticipate.
Nice….😁👍🏻
Dang.
RB Kingfans post is a montage of misinformation, not factually representing President Trumps policies or statements.
Extends the time that you’re vulnerable too. Life events happen and hardships are real. Most are are paycheck away from a nightmare. I see more foreclosures with this plan.
Would suit the “You will own nothing” globalists. What cancers they all are.
Recognize the 50-year mortgage is being proposed by a person who made his multi-billion dollar fortune in real-estate. He might also know something.
In this case, opportunity cost. The money spent paying cash up-front for a house without a mortgage or a shorter-term lower rate can be deployed to make much higher rates of return elsewhere.
If I’d paid cash for my house I could have only afforded a much lower level and been zeroed out financially, like starting over. The 30 year mortgage allowed a much better house and left capital that has since been invested with 13.5% year-over-year compounding returns. As a banker, you should know what that means.
Despite the higher interest component in the lower monthly payments, the 30-year allowed me to build actual wealth, being fully aware of the higher mortgage interest amounted to paying for the house twice over. If you keep the place up and renovate once or twice, the house can easily double in price within 30 years, covering the interest paid anyway, effectively a free mortgage. 15 years is dicier.
But life is short, and mortgages are one of the most protected and favorable types of loans. It lets you do two things at once. Live in a nice place and retain enough capital to build wealth beyond that. A 50 year would lower the payments, increase this advantage, with only about 37% of people holding the mortgage to term, since average home ownership is 11.9 years before sale.
I do not disagree with what you’re saying but that is a viewpoint that only a financially savvy person will understand!
The truth of the matter is that most people only look at monthly payments, and end up often upside down, because they “qualified” for more house than they could afford based on spreading out the loan term over a longer period of time.
I would encourage people to buy the most house they could reasonably afford in the beginning, and then to make additional principal payments in order to lessen their balance as quickly as possible, and to never use their equity as a piggy bank to finance a lifestyle!
But I don’t believe those kind of conversations are happening very often today, either within families, or by the people making loans! So simply promoting a 50-year mortgage without simultaneously encouraging financial literacy, is only going to put more young people into unmanageable debt, IMHO.
That was the point I was trying to make…
I would say the average American has no idea how interest works. The amount of credit card debt in this country proves me out.
Home mortgages typically use simple interest and do not compound, meaning interest is calculated on the original loan amount without adding previously accrued interest. In contrast, credit card interest usually compounds daily, meaning interest is calculated and added to the balance every day. – usbank
But, there are those that get a 30 year mortgage, and the lower ‘required’ monthly payment (in case there is a cash flow change at home)
and then work to pay it off in 10 to 15 years (if / when there are steady income(s)) to pay off the mortgage early.)- with no penalty for early payoff.
p.s.
and yes, there are those that do not take seriously the importance of paying off the debt.
[ seen the $ 37 trillion in national debt? ]
The recommendation to sell a house every 7 years,
or more commonly around 5 to 10 years,
is based on financial considerations rather than a strict rule.
This timeframe allows homeowners to build enough equity
to cover the high costs of buying and selling,
such as commissions and closing costs,
and to benefit from property appreciation.
While a shorter timeline can be financially risky,
a longer one increases the potential for higher returns.
Sounds like a short term fix. The payment is low enough to get your foot in the door of the American dream.
As your financial situation improves you can always prepay principle to knock down the debt much faster. I don’t think that’s such a bad idea.
Remember that President Trump is a very stable genius as well as a self-made billionaire. I assume he knows what he is talking about.
And hey, if these kids wish to become transhuman one day they could possibly even double their life expectancy! For them, fifty years will be a piece of cake! /s
Are you kidding??
It’s usury on steroids.
You do know Polymarket is a betting website?
I live in a very small rural area, yet all of the new housing developments are huge gigantic expensive houses. All of them.
Why aren’t they building housing communities with smaller starter homes, or small ranch style houses for half the cost of the large houses?
Perhaps there should be some type of incentive to the building industry in that direction.
Proposing a 2 decade extension in debt slavery to the great benefit of banksters is not a viable option. Imagine paying for your home for more than a decade after retirement. It’s ludicrous.
In fact it’s as ludicrous as 8 year new car loans & decades long student loans.
These young adults deserve better.
No, its the people writing mortgages for ridiculously low returns like 3-7% who are losing. That money could be invested elswehere and making 15-20% with a modest amount of attention.
The 50-year mortgage is being proposed by a person who made his multi-billion dollar fortune in real-estate. He might also know something.
The folks claiming financial literacy means not paying mortgage interest are thinking one-dimensionally … true financial illiteracy. Lower monthly payments for 30/50 year terms frees up capital for investments with much better returns. How do you think Trump became a multi-billionaire in real-estate?
Lending money for 6% fixed-rate mortgages likes banks do is a lousy business, especially with inflation running 3% year after year.
Those that are willing to be aggressive in paying off a mortgage,
would have less monthly interest to pay,
and could pay more of the principal, each month (above the required PITI payment).
[as long the mortgage language says that there is no penalty for early pay off of the debt,
or
no penalty for refinancing the loan (if interest rates drop )
and
if it is o.k. to sell the property and the loan can be assumable by the next owner. ]
p.s.
yes, paying a mortgage for 50 years is along time to be in debt – and to be able to live and not have a mortgage payment.
yes, there are people perpetually hung up with paying rent – and do not, can not ‘buy’ a place.
yes, with a mobile society, not many people stay in the same building for 50 years.
So, they would want to know that what they buy, could be later sold at a reasonable price.
What assurance would a banker or insurance company have that a property owner would keep up with the home maintenance?
Property taxes have had a tendency to increase, to the initial PITI could change over 15, 30, or 50 years.
p.s.
Some people would get a 30 year mortgage (lower monthly required payment than a 15 year mortgage),
and work to get it paid off in 10 years. (to become mortgage free, and property appreciates in value over time.)
Similar to vehicle purchase, only a shorter duration. (albeit, vehicles depreciate in value over shorter time)
A 50 year mortgage can be very advantageous if you are just starting out in life and don’t yet make much money. You have a low payment when things are tight, and then when you make more money you pay an extra thousand or so each month. You’ll have it paid off in 20 years or less.
Meanwhile, did anyone actually watch the Sunday ambush shows this morning?
Didn’t think so.
Secondary sources, who deserve combat pay, such as our host, will suffer them and tell us about them later today.
Otherwise, no one would ever know they happened.
CUT THE CORD
😏
Scott Bessent was also against Janet Yellen financing the debt with short term treasuries as a smoke and mirror tactic but he has not only continued the policy but increased it to record levels. Paying your mortgage with your credit card is not a good idea.
Can’t we do both?
They need to get interest rates down on mortgage loans more than anything.
I don’t want a 50-year Mortgage.
I want the Fed destroyed, Installed Politicians and Judges removed, Oligarchy bankrupted and Wealth, Health and Power returned to the People and the Trafficked Children freed, loved and healed.
We decree all these things by the authority given to us by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. We receive it now and call it done, to the Glory of God, Amen!
Acts 5:19
You are the God Who Opens the Prison Doors; Yes, Lord Jesus!
Amen!

Back to the war: “Largest Ever” Russian Ballistic Attack Cripples Ukrainian Energy Grid
RussiansWithAttitude had what is likely the most correct take on Russia’s planning surrounding this:
imo the purpose of the energy grid strikes isn’t to take out the grid, but to 1) create problems, tension and lots of busywork for the ukrainian rear, 2) bring the grid to the edge, to a point where a single strike package targeting 750 kVs and NPPs could take it out for real, 3) as a consequence of 2), be ready to escalate at a moment’s notice once a “third party” comes into play. i think people severely underestimate how much russian planning goes into preparing for the eventual open NATO/EU entry into the war. it’s also a demonstration for the latter to disincentivize that. “look at how much stuff in europe we could be blowing up every single night and there’s nothing you could do against it, so stay the fuck out”

Found in the bin… 🙁
Last week President Trump announced that he has directed the Department of Justice to investigate the nation’s largest meat packing companies for collusion and price fixing. JBS, Cargill, Tyson, and National Beef now control 85 percent of the U.S. beef market, up from just 36 percent in 1980. In short, farmers are going broke, consumers are paying vastly more for beef, and all the profits are going to the middlemen.
This is straightforward restraint of trade through collusion. Since 1980 the Big Four have bought up and shut down most of the independent stockyards and meat packers, forcing farmers to ship their cows hundreds of miles to USDA inspected slaughtering and packing plants. Farmers, having no alternative markets, must accept the prices they are given.
Having a DOJ investigation of, for example the meat packers, should be a routine thing, done all the time to protect consumers. Except I can’t remember the last time the government has done this. Perhaps the collapse of Arthur Anderson in 2002 as a result of Enron? The fact is, these days government rarely investigates big business, ever, and I will say especially since the Supreme Court issued the Citizens United Decision.
Citizens United allowed corporations to donate to fund the endless negative ads from committees that despoil our political campaigns, because speech = money, and limits on campaign spending would supposedly violate the First Amendment. But the effect is corporate ownership of politicians and parties.
Politicians, like Nancy Pelosi, who get rich in office, are being bought. There are numerous means to buy them. Corporations want to offload risk to the taxpayer and to do business as they see fit. So, they own and reward politicians who will block reforms.
What does public policy look like, under a regime of big business ownership of our elected representatives? Unlimited immigration, sweatshops, public corruption run rampant, crime and illicit drugs everywhere, stolen elections. Huge ghettos are under construction to house the wounded, as the middle class is squeezed and the poor lose everything. We have been here before, consider “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair, speaking of meat packers.
It used to be the Republican Party was the party of big business. Now, the Democratic Party is protecting the monied interests, calling them stakeholders. They claim government and business should work in partnership, hand in hand. Chuck Schumer is willing to shut down the government, to block any cuts whatsoever in the government funds going to the Medical Industrial Complex.
I remember when Ronald Reagan, during one of the Presidential Debates, argued that there should be a “firewall” between government and business. The Revolving Door was to be shut, prohibiting for several years former government employees going to work for the industries they used to regulate. Now, those ideas are considered quaint.
Corporations today are not democracies. Shareholder rights are long gone. Unions have almost disappeared. A small fraternity of largely invisible CEOs wield vast power. They own Congress. Amid this, President Trump orders an investigation of the beef markets and packers. He is doing something good, that no one else dares to do. Just in time.
Pam Bondi might even talk about this on Fox News.
42 Muslim Candidates Have Seized Control of U.S. Elections
https://rairfoundation.com/warning-42-muslim-candidates-have-seized-control-u/
From the article an Excerpt:
In the span of one election, CAIR’s decades-long blueprint for political domination has come to life — forty-two Muslim candidates, backed by a Hamas-linked network, have seized key offices across America, proving that the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan to infiltrate from mosque to city hall is no longer a warning, but a reality.
They told us the plan. Now we’re watching it unfold — in real time.
This week, terror-linked Islamic organizations are celebrating a stunning milestone: a record forty-two Muslim candidates elected to public office across the United States, the most significant wave of Muslim political victories in American history.
According to the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) own data, the newly elected officials span at least nine states — New York, Virginia, Michigan, New Jersey, Maryland, Washington, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. The list includes five mayors, four state legislators, two judges, and dozens of city council, county, and school board members.
Its not the feeling of 2nd plane crashing into towers.
Its feeling of accepting American Globalist behind 9/11.
American Globalist care nothing about America, especially American lives. COVID was largest death toll by American globalist just behind 9/11. More I learn about the COVID vax the more i feel that American Globalist knew what they were doing with the spread of COVID & Vaccine Mandates.
I had that feeling five years ago after they stole the election, followed by the poison death shots. People are keeling over left and right, but far too many of them still haven’t grasped the gravity of our situation.
you tube video, 18 minutes in length, titled “Inside the new $300Milion White House Ballroom”
Not sure who the moderator is, if they are pro or anti ballroom, but it is a nice look inside what is being built.
People aren’t p!ssed off because President Trump is building a ballroom, they’re p!ssed off because (they know) only President Trump can build a ballroom like this on time on budget. 😉
…and they lack the courage to say the truth.
imho

(and the gov’mt. bureacracy is not involved?
hmmm…)
Thanks for posting this video, Bessie! Very enjoyable. I cannot wait to see the final building. It will be GLORIOUS! 😀
Is hosting balls for 2000 people at the White House an important issue? Does it come up often … as in ever? Should the White House grounds become a social activity center? Seems like asking for trouble.
I like inspirational buildings, but this looks like a large white room with some partly obscured gold accents on the ceiling (and lots of hidden functionality). Versailles is attractively jaw-dropping because of the intricate workmanship, artistic ceilings and walls.
If you are going to use gold as a decorative building material, might as well be sure it is always visible; recessed terraces tend to hide it depending on the viewing angle.
Windows start almost at eye-level so people will see a white wall, then some tree-tops outside if they look up.
Walking into a bland white room, not matter how large, is still … walking into a large bland white room with some partly hidden gold accents way up on the ceiling.
You will be ok. Promise.
The White House will no longer need to erect gaudy tents on the lawn to host State Dinners and other large gatherings.
It is a gift to America from our President.
In a hopelessly corrupt system, always expect nothing in the way of official accountability. That way you’ll usually be correct, and if you’re wrong you’ll just be pleasantly surprised.
James Comey on Trial: THE FIX IS IN! Judge Accuses DOJ of “Indict First, Investigate Later”? (9:07)
Viva Frei
Nov 8, 2025
The fix is in. I’m telling you, I think Comey is probably going to walk because if it’s not judicial nullification through the judge, they are getting their talking points out to a prospective jury pool. And in the Eastern District of Virginia, they are going to find one or two jurors who are simply going to say, “I’m not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that James Comey knew he was lying when he said he didn’t leak anything to anybody to be leaked to the press” when there is hard evidence, black on white, that he did it repeatedly.
He may walk in DC, although there is chance (his crimes are ibvious). However, I bet he is worried about expanded RICO conspiracy charges in Florida if a grand jury indicts.
He allowed dozens of Trump’s closest allies to be investigated of false pretenses, costing many their jobs, friends, homes, and life savings. Whatever the outcome, he should feel some pain.

How easy should VOTER I.D. (IDENTIFICATION!) be to get from the Radical Left Democrats??? There should be nothing easier, right??? Well, out of 47 Dems, we don’t have even ONE VOTE from them. That is for one reason, and one reason only — THEY WANT TO CHEAT!!! THEY ARE A BUNCH OF SCOUNDRELS, CHEATERS, & PSYCHOPATHS. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK. APPROVE VOTER I.D. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Typical leftist tactic, project on to their opponent’s what is actually happening in their ranks, by manufacture, manipulation and mendacity. It’s the Democrats who are in a civil war, torn apart by the appearance of the DAS and the AOC wing. Pelosi’s gone, Schumer to possibly follow. The mask has been finally ripped off, after a decade of hiding transformation into the overtly socialist platform of violence against their opponent’s, either legislatively or physically, including the acceptance of using lethal force.
I personally ignore any posters who are seemingly trying to push any message of MAGA disunity for the simple reason that this rarely, if ever, occurred on this site during President Trump’s First Administration. There were legitimate disputes about the course of action that should be taken, but never a concerted effort to split apart the base that sustained him, those attempts were left to the opposition, and their effort’s dealt with accordingly. As President Trump now makes more of an impact on the DS infrastructure, and on his programme, than he did in his entire first time, we are now being led to believe that his base is supposedly succumbing to the fracturing it resisted then. Funny that.

Sue them. BBC Chairman Samir Shah and Director-General Tim Davie were reportedly alerted and aware of the deceptively edited footage in May this year; but a public correction was has since not been made. The fired top BBC executives have not been made to make apologies or of their firings. There has been no proof of their firing
It is only now, (after mounting pressure on Director-General Tim Davie), following the circulation of an 8,000-word whistle-blower dossier; alleging systemic bias within the BBC. The Panorama episode in question aired the week before the 2024 U.S. election and was described in a memo by former BBC standards adviser Michael Prescott as having “completely misled” the audience.
To just say their executives were fired isn’t enough. Now, after being outed; it is hardly creditable for BBC to say that their chairman will provide a “full response to the culture, media and sport committee on Monday.

“ Behind Gates’ $1.4 billion “climate adaptation” pledge is a worldwide soil-bioengineering campaign, an industrial project to rewrite the biology of the land under the pretext of saving it.
Climate change provides the moral pretext.
Soil health provides the entry point.
Biotechnology provides the mechanism.
But the implications go far beyond agriculture.
Health risks arise when the food supply grows from bioengineered soil teeming with synthetic microbes never tested for human consumption.
National security risks emerge when foreign-engineered organisms are deliberately released into domestic farmland, effectively placing a country’s food chain under external biological influence.
And the possibility remains that these engineered microbes could mutate, collapse crops, or contaminate ecosystems—with no way to reverse the damage once they’re in the ground.
In short, Gates’ new “adaptation” strategy replaces climate panic with biological control.
Instead of blocking sunlight or seeding clouds, he’s now targeting the planet’s foundation—the soil itself—under the guise of humanitarian progress.
The soil may still look brown, but its DNA—and its sovereignty—are being rewritten.
Do you consent?”

So that’s what he’s doing on all that land he bought!?!
Or is he testing somewhere else before introducing to “his own land”?

Just 6 Percent of New S&P Jobs Went to White Applicants in The Wake of George Floyd, Analysis Shows
Excerpt:
“These numbers are extraordinarily stark,” said Dan Morenoff, the executive director of the American Civil Rights Project, which litigates reverse discrimination cases. “It’s very hard to imagine this could be legally defensible.”
Morenoff added that “disparate impact,” or disparities in outcomes, can be a basis for liability even without proof of intentional discrimination. The Justice Department used this theory last year when it sued Meta, Facebook’s parent company, on the grounds that the platform’s algorithms affect users differently based on their race.

Yes, people can stay the same, or change during a faith life journey.
hint
In about 300 AD, the Roman’s allowed the Christians to construct a building, a home for people to visit. It was called a church.
” The first church in Rome is traditionally considered to be the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere, which dates back to the late third or early fourth century. ”
That was a change from the prior thousands of years.

Abilene Christian University Officials Say Calling Abortion “Murder” is “Hate Speech”
Excerpt:
After a roughly three minute discussion, and sensing that the pushback centered upon the use of the word “murder,” Arrowood stated that she would write, “Abortion Kills Innocent Human Life” on a new piece of paper and an alternative message. Dean Felan agreed and left….
….The group started a petition in the community that quickly obtained over 700 signatures.
In Lilith Fund for Reproductive Equity v. Dickson (2023) the Supreme Court of Texas recognized that calling abortion murder is protected free speech. The belief that abortion is murder is also part of the laws of the City of Abilene.

Top 20 Outrages of Norm Eisen’s War on America
Who is the Man Leading the Color Revolution?
Born in Los Angeles in 1960, Norm Eisen attended Harvard Law, where he received his J.D. in 1991. He was a classmate of Barack Obama and served as an editor of the Harvard Law Review.
He later became a Senior Fellow at — where else? — the Brookings Institution, where he focused on using U.S. tax dollars to destroy America through color revolutions, lawfare, and related tactics.
Here are 20 of the most troubling allegations about Eisen:
1. Orchestrating Over 180 Anti-Trump Lawsuits Through CREW: As co-founder of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), Eisen led hundreds of ethics complaints and lawsuits against the Trump administration, often perceived as partisan harassment that politicizes oversight and strains constitutional separation of powers. Fox News on Eisen’s anti-Trump role
2. Drafting Impeachment Articles Prematurely: Eisen reportedly drafted 10 articles of impeachment against Trump a month before the Ukraine inquiry, suggesting a preemptive partisan strategy over a real investigation, undermining Congress’s constitutional oversight role. Politico on Eisen’s impeachment book
3. Serving as Special Counsel in Trump’s First Impeachment: As Democratic counsel, Eisen drove what critics call a politically motivated process, prioritizing removal over evidence, damaging bipartisan faith in impeachment as a constitutional safeguard. Some observers suggest Eisen was deeply involved in the genesis of the Ukraine hoax. PBS Frontline interview with Eisen

“WE ARE ALL WORKING FOR HIM NOW!”
Trump…
Here is the flyover video…
It’s not nice to lie about the President, especially to children.
I strongly encourage any and all Treepers to copy & paste this message and send it to the President, his press secretary and to Elon Musk. And to anyone else you care to. I hope it spreads like wild fire and scorches kimmel, his wife and all his cruel and deranged followers.
**Subject:** A Disturbing Pattern of Exploiting Children for Laughs – From Halloween Candy to Political Fear
Dear @elonmusk, @realDonaldTrump, @karolineleavitt,
Please take a moment to watch this 2011 clip from *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* – the origin of the annual “I Ate All Your Halloween Candy” prank challenge:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YQpbzQ6gzs)
In it, parents (encouraged by Kimmel) film themselves telling young children (ages 5–6) that they ate all their Halloween candy. The kids burst into tears, heartbroken. The parents laugh. Kimmel airs the meltdowns for millions to see, year after year, with no apology.
Fast forward to 2025: Kimmel and his wife now admit on a podcast that they told their 6-year-old daughter Jane that President Trump had ordered *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* canceled as revenge. She cried and offered to sell her toys to “save Daddy’s show.” Again—no remorse. Just another story for laughs.
This isn’t harmless humor. It’s repeated, public emotional manipulation of defenseless children by the very people they trust most. Encouraging others to do the same only normalizes cruelty.
As leaders who value strength *and* compassion, you understand: protecting children—especially from those who should shield them—is non-negotiable.
Thank you for your time and your voice.
Respectfully,
[Your Name]
P.S. Even an AI like Grok expresses more concern for these children than the adults filming their tears. That should tell us something.
