For the better part of this year, I have been noticing publicly on the Twitter, and on these pages, how the financial interests of the global/political establishment elite, and a host of affiliated Technocrats formerly outlined as the Sea Island group, seemingly have been working an operation to divide MAGA.
That operation is to separate President Trump from his support base.
President Trump has been navigating this dynamic, sometimes failing -not surprisingly given the scope of the issue- yet keeping his focus on the larger objective, the ‘ultimate solutions’ approach he is known for.
ISRAEL – To wit, many people have criticized President Trump for being too close to Israeli interests. As if those voices do not understand the scale of institutional interests toward maintaining foreign influence in U.S. politics (perhaps many don’t). [Ex. If Ron DeSantis had won in ’24, right now we would be talking about forward operating USA bases in Iran]
Perhaps people criticized President Trump for attending the Knesset legislative session of Israel, yet did not notice the totally Trumpian move of calling out Mariam Adelson during those same remarks. In essence, President Trump candidly spotlit the very nature of the thing that people are upset about.
Trust me, you can tell from the nervous responses the local audience didn’t miss Trump’s words, nor what they meant. They were considerably jaw agape at the brutal honesty. That boss move did not win Trump any benefits there – RJC lack of attendance notwithstanding.
There is a reason Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, Egypt and Indonesia support President Trump as the ONLY one who can organize the solution to the Gaza conflict long-term. They have said they cannot see anyone else delivering a solution to this generational problem. Those middle east nations trust the humanitarian agenda of President Trump specifically, because he is strategically and objectively detached from the narrow agenda of Israel.
On the H1B visas. No one wants to see H1B visa abuse; yet, do we accept the scale and scope of the tech sector in exploiting/using this system? Have we forgotten Elon Musk’s December 2024 statements, or those of Vivek Ramaswamy, which highlighted the tech REDLINE position?
Do we understand the tenuous nature of the coalition candidate Trump put together to defeat the professional UniParty, which included the same very influential tech leaders as lukewarm allies to MAGA? Big Tech is border averse, institutionally minded globalists, i.e. in traditionally comfortable relations with Democrats.
On Chinese university students. Again, no one wants to see American kids stopped from attending colleges and universities. Those 300,000 per year foreign students are paying out-of-state tuition, in full and in cash, and while the system might be in need of change, President Trump is not proposing anything that doesn’t already exist. 600,000 student visas per 2-year-term is the current enrollment rate, not an increase.
On 50-year-mortgages. No one wants to see first-time homebuyers ripped off; but again, optimal solutions. No one is going to stay in a home for 50-years; the average is seven. This is the way for young people to afford a smaller payment and begin to build some equity or at least own something. It’s an option, not a requirement. It’s an alternative that might help some people afford to move in an ongoing housing crisis.
For Banks and Financial Interests. Many people are upset about President Trump having working dinners with bankers and members of high finance. Yet, if President Trump collapsed the U.S. dollar, we’d never hear the end of it – nor survive as a prospering nation through the ramifications of it. President Trump is trying to build a strong domestic economy for the U.S, while still maintaining the dollar as the best alternative for global investment and trade currency.
Trump is the national steward for your economic way of life, and without him there would be little to no hope for long-term stability. As much as you might decry President Trump for focusing attention to the globe, without that effort our financial house would shrink rather quickly.
This brings me to the most frustrating part of watching Republicans that most MAGA-minded folks are missing.
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS – We are watching the professional Republican apparatus going through a state level congressional redistricting effort, using the statistics from the 2024 electoral coalition that President Trump delivered. Every state is using the MAGA voting bloc as the baseline for their congressional redistricting.
Those votes, and as a consequence, those districts, are of such a significant scale and Republican Party benefit, only because candidate Donald Trump delivered those voices to the polls. However, these are the same professionals within the Republican Party apparatus who are trying to split the MAGA coalition.
Think about how Machiavellian and typically Republican this operation is.
The Republicans are using the votes that Trump delivered to enhance their state Republican voices, while simultaneously trying to break apart the coalition that gives them the ability to scale up their Republican influence. I doubt you could ever show me a more perfect encapsulation of how the abuser/abused relationship works in politics.
Any one of these hot button issues, or a combination therein, might be the trigger point for you to withdraw support. Okay, I get your frustration. However, each one of these issues is a smaller part of a coalition of support that delivered the result in 2024. There’s a bunch of special interests I do not support, yet I fully understand why Trump may take a different approach toward that issue.
Do I still support President Trump?
Yes, because the alternative is a Republican.
A lot “no one wants to see…”. Almost as if it’s a theme of something, something.
Verbum sapientae. Wise words dear Sundance.
It’s a good article and nice to see someone write about these things. So few in the MSM ever do and when they do it’s almost always along the radical leftist or neoconservative ideological line.
Washington DC is nothing but paid off politicians and lobbyists.
One man that can not be bought is ripping into their little dynasties and I am enjoying watching it happen.
You’re damn right I support President Trump.
No one else in DC has my respect, like the Lion we turned loose on the traitors.
somebody else wrote this-
Folks! Think about this for a moment…
We are paying 535 members of Congress Millions to do nothing.
535 x $174,000 (Avg. Salary) = 93,090,000 + Benefits
We are paying Donald Trump nothing, to do everything
There is no other viable candidate, other than Donald J. Trump, that represents the common interests of the American people.
Tonight SD makes it clear as pool water. Stephen Miller just explained the foreign jobs conundrum in an excellent way that I understand now Trump referred to the Engineer Jobs in Silicon Chip foubdaries DO require a very special high level expertise. I worked many years as a lawyer at LSI Logic. The jobs in the Oregon Gresham Chip Foundarie were extremely important to the health of ALL of LSI special custom chip offerings whether game boys or TVs without the people in the foundry it’s not going to work yes they also had Taiwan. Also Stephen says there is $100,000 fee on new HB1s, which I didn’t believe had been established but I will take his words. He then explained cancelled VISAs and the Department ofcLabor crack down on foreign hiring. Today the Bovine Border Payrol in North Carolina is going after employers which has never been done. This clip explained to me and answered every question issue I had with President Trumps interview with Laura here is the X clip: it’s Gunther’s repost, I can’t find original one at the moment.

The term is prostitician.
The definition is straightforward. A prostitute is paid for sex. A prostitician is paid to screw someone else.
Nothing gets fixed in DC until citizens united is overturned and the money laundering is stopped. Our president has a long way to go without the support of Congress in those areas.
There is some controversies in the comment sections here but at the end of the day, MAGA and America first loyalists will still support PDJT and the movement he created. No Trump supporter here at CTH is going to change their mind and stop voting or start voting democrat.
The controversies in the comment sections are the battle to get the best possible MAGA policies. Fine tuning the details. Leaning, becoming wiser and better informed. Changing positions as people learn things that might be better than what they came in thinking. Evolving.
Bull crap. The controversy in the comments is by a bunch paid bot runners, that are here because they are directed to be here, because they fear the Treehouse.
You are correct, I should not have made my statement so strongly and hastily and definitely was out of line.
I apologize to Mrs Sunshine.
Johnny,
Apology accepted my friend.
God bless you.
Thank you for being so gracious. I let my anger get out of control. No excuse
You had me at hello. (sob) lol Just playing
While you are at it, you might want to apologize to all those here who post legitimate, respectful disagreements, unless your goal is for this to become a conservative echo chamber.
I would suggest that we have more than enough echo chambers on the left – we do not need one more here…….
Although Johnny, much like myself at times, got ahead of himself and spoke rather angrily…….
He is not wrong though, Ad Rem.
New posters, unfamiliar names, all singing the same songs of divisive and ridiculous outlooks and comments. They are here to stir the very pot SD speaks of. That is blatantly ovious…..
The danger isn’t so much that the disgruntled will start voting Democrat – it is that they may begin supporting a DeSantis type or not vote at all.
Is there a difference?
Most excellent!
Or Vivek
Yes, huge! As a Florida resident, I can tell you that as a Governor, DeSantis stands head and tails above most. That is how he garnered the attention of the Sea Island crowd.
How long did you wear the Covid-1984 mask. Did your governor offer to go to court against any company that fired workers for not vaxing. Mine did.
I’m quite certain the Sea Island group put desantis where he is right now in the same way Obama was placed in his senator position.
They’ve had a plan for Ron long before he became Governor, and that plan runs contrary to the America First movement.
What he has done in FL has been scripted, the easiest stuff anyone could do.
To position himself as the “Real America First Candidate”, a “better-than-Trump” candidate.
It didn’t work in ‘24 and it won’t work in the future. At least not to anyone who understands the past.
If so easy, why didn’t more governors do it?
No credit to him for the good he has accomplished? That is even worse than those on the left unwilling to give President Trump credit for anything!
I’m a FL resident too.. I recall a governor threatening to close down bars and take liquor licenses from restaurants that didn’t comply. Not to mention his backstabbing expertise. Welcome newbie
Briefly, a couple of months, not as most did for the entire control experiment.
If that is all you recall, that’s on you.
I am NOT, and will not say he was a legitimate replacement for Trump then, or now.
He also closed beaches. BEACHES!! Hahahahaha
Don’t know how the anxiety and situations are in other parts of fl. and the rest of the country but here on the best Coast of fl. much of the lawlessness and craziness that I hear or read about is not happening here . Of course it is possible it can happen at anytime but not likely.
Seems much of the trouble stems in the big dem. controlled cities and states with no bail and constant repeat offenders.
If I entered the country illegally y would I worry about paying for car insurance or getting a driver’s license .
Happy holidays to all.
Pray and help others.
I actually think the controversies in the comments section serve a very useful purpose! We know that there are members of the Trump Administration (and perhaps even members of the Trump family?) who read these pages and maybe, just maybe, they are able to break through the professional Republican establishment types surrounding the President (Susie Wiles and her ilk specifically) and go straight to him with comments and concerns raised here, that he might not know about otherwise…
I do think his patience with Blondi is very quickly running out and I have to suspect that Wiles has been shielding her and maybe he is finally being told that the base is furious with her!
Hi vikingmom,
Great points! The likelihood of our influence in the Trump administration is a very important component we all need to be mindful of and a great power CTH and CTH commenters really have.
I agree, Mrs. Sunshine, and what a BLESSING it is that our words and sincere thoughts MAY reach the President and his administration!!!
Well if Fredo is one of them he may not be too happy
The concern is that they may start voting “Republican” in contradistinction to MAGA.
I would just like a list from PT directly that is pushed out far and wide for all to see that lists everyone in Congress that he believes should be voted out of office ASAP.
Or bring back the trading cards but with mid-terms coming I would like to see stronger messaging of friend or foe from PT on all 535 DC inhabitants
IMHO, it’s unwise to publicize any list of Uniparty RINOs targeted for replacement until strong replacement pro-MAGA candidates have been identified, fully vetted, and are ready to begin their public campaigns.
Correct. We were given a brain the ability to discern the truth. It’s up to us to act on the facts before us without PDJT telling us what needs doing.
You well know President Trump early stated he desired to participate in mid-term rallies. The friendly crowds with nostalgic music of Greenwood followed with energetic YMCA and noticeable dance moves, and the forever identifiable souvenir red caps.
We will go to the polls. Already here in Texas are planned training sessions to efficiently count paper ballots. Volunteer. Also, the Supreme Court surely will make judgement of timeline to receive & accept these darn paper ballots. Big Beautiful should kick in and citizens should feel it in pocket books and see results in 401’s. Let’s fight. We owe The Donald.
All due respect, what you would like to see happen probably never will. President Trump is a master at reading people, and that skill is what got all of us this far. My respect and support of him is unflagging. His actions (or inactions) speak volumes – it is up to us to listen.
We know them by their fruits.
Don’t change the subject – we’re not discussing California.
Nobody gives a rats ass about you Elon. Typical little rich bitch ass punk, that needs his ass curb stomped.
I will apologize for this also.
When I read that tweet Elon posted I saw red.
If I had taken my time, I could have composed it completely different.
Please forgive my feeble mind for going straight vulgar.
Caffeine ? It affects me that way too. That post by Elon is a year old. You’re just passionate.
First time I saw it. Instantly lit my fire. A country that has gave him everything and he slaps us in the face. Man Elon is bad news all the way around.
100%
That X comment from Musk is one of the many reasons why I call him Egor Musk.
Yes I drink coffee all day. Old military habit
I support President Trump. I voted for him in three elections. Honestly, no one person can do it all alone. Plus, the usual suspects have him distracted touring the world. When he does come back in, he’s talking about helping the radical conservatives remove more poor Republican voters from GOP voter rolls with healthcare cutbacks and 30 year student loans. As for the foreign takeover of America and America’s jobs, both political parties appear to support it in practice while denying it to the voters so what can he really do? He’s the President but he’s not God.
IMO President Trump WON all 3 x of those Elections.
I’m a genuine old Aussie and I’ve supported Donald Trump since the day I found out that he had challenged The HAG.
I’ve been coming here for many years and the Bots sure seem to be getting thicker.
Additionally, I’m not fond of what’s happening in Gaza – but I trust my God and I trust Donald Trump to do his best!
And also IHMO, Sundance always delivers the Truth – be it bitter or sweet!
With thanks from here in “Down Under”.
Actually PDJT wants all SNAP recipients to re-apply for the program in order to give his Sec. of Agriculture Brooke Rollins the opportunity to eliminate (via the FDA) approx. 500,000 enrollees (out of approx. 43M) who are fraudulently receiving benefits.
He wants to eliminate the fraudulent Obamacare legislation because it resulted in NONE of the benefits to enrollees that Obama & Democrats falsely claimed it would bring.
As far as the 30 year tuition loans, borrowers will have the option of a repayment term of 30 years. Then, even low-income borrowers must make a minimum payment of at least $10 per month. However, the plan waives any interest not covered by the borrower’s monthly payment.
Yes, the new plan may result in higher monthly payments compared to previous income-driven repayment options. After 30 years of qualifying payments, borrowers may have their remaining debt forgiven.
The Administration says that these changes will help hold universities accountable for their outcomes and reduce the financial burden on borrowers. We are all aware that tuition increase have been outrageous over the past three decades and that has been primarily driven by lack of limitations on expenditures that too many in Congress have been willing to approve for tuition “assistance”. IMHO, it is NOT “assistance” when taxpayers are footing the majority of or the entire bill. That’s just more welfare, often to people who are actually able to pay from their own earnings, or who are getting useless degrees and even after graduating are STILL ultimately lacking in needed vocational skills for the current job market.
By extending the repayment period, the goal is to create a more manageable payment structure for those with significant debt, particularly in light of rising tuition costs. Also these changes are not set to take effect until July 1, 2026. So people have time to plan around these new changes.
Get government out of the student loan business! BEST colleges do NOT take government money—Christendom being one.
I’m pretty sure that’s President Trump’s ultimate goal, but this is a first step towards that.
He knows he cannot just yank govt. assistance away “cold “turkey. The colleges have to be brought into reality (lower tuition) gradually at first.
At the ssme time, Parents of college- hopeful students slso must have their expectations of having other citizens pay the tuition costs (via govt) moderated; they need to learn to accept more responsibility for college education costs. At today’s prices, that won’t happen quickly.
Most of PDJT’s goals to change long-established but detrimental cultural practices involve a gradual change starting with waking up people to the underlying problems. He sometimes does that in unconventional and unexpected ways.
Yeah buddy, stick with him. PDJT is all this conservative has left — at least politically.
I’ve stopped even calling myself Conservative.
Conserve what exactly? The neocon endless wars and hollowing out of our middle class?
These days if someone asks I tell them I am politically a Subsidiaritist (as in the Catholic principle of Subsidiarity).
I’m a conservative and I always will be.
It’s the RINO’S that falsly claim themselves as conservatives.
They’re big government Anti-American jerks that fatten their bank accounts just like Demoncrats.
Yes, I support Trump.
I support he is running out of time. Many eggs must be broken because the omelette will be worth it.
America is too close to being lost, and a full generation of teacher union indoctrinated K-12 students are pushing it over the edge.
Your local school boards now matter even more than the WH. If you can’t fight in the trenches at the local level there will be no America any longer .Teacher unions rot is that bad and that deep.
This reminds me of Dr. Angelo Codevilla’s article and later book “The Ruling Class” that Rush Limbaugh read aloud. Dr. Codevilla suggested a local starting solution is school boards. His book is a gem for many reasons.
He is man much missed by those who knew his writings, Sepp.
The great Catherine Austin Fitts has long championed the same approach, and I suspect she was familiar with him as well.
Dr. Angelo Codevilla: a great writer and thinker.
And killed in “some kind of car crash”. Just like Orson Bean (FIL of Andrew Breitbart) was killed by a hit and run driver.
I do: they are called “Country Club Republicans” or “Bushies” and I never liked them.
The ONLY reason that I am “caucusing” in the Republican Party as an “Unenrolled” voter is because of my support of President Trump. If they shiv President Trump, the Republican Party is absolutely dead to me, as is the Democrap Party.
BINGO!
No such thing as a perfect candidate or coalition. Trump knows what he’s doing, we have to stick together. No matter what. The alternative is a collapse of the normal American life and a swerve into Marxism.
Hold! We are all the 300.
The enemy has said that they could blot out the sun with lawfare… so we’ll fight in the shade.
How do I see it:
President Trump dared to tell Israel “Stop!” and now he is being punished for it. The Jewish-RINO cabal might go as far as giving the House to the Dems, have him impeached and get a Israel-friendly President in 2029 (Republican or Democrat).
Other shenanigans are related to the potential candidates for the 2028 GOP primary (DeSantis, Cruz) who are trying to show how much they’re in love with Israel and get the big Jewish donors in their camp.
I might suggest folks stop using “jewish” to describe people who are pro-Netanyahu Israeli government. Millions of jewish people worldwide do not support Netanyahu or the corruption in Israel’s government. Your usage is too general and thus singling out an entire group based on ethnicity, where as I think (or hope) you don’t intend it that way..
Many jewish people are just like millions of Americans of all ethnicities (including jewish) who do not support the corruption in our own government (exemplified by the Obama and Biden administrations especially when Democrats controlled Congress.)
Many jewish people want Israel to be secure but they don’t approve of that nation’s current leadership, its government’s policies or its meddling in our USA governments politics.
Suggest you start using “pro-Netanyahu Israeli Government people” instead of “jewish” people. It would be far more accurate and not paint an entire ethnic class of people.
Honest question because I am not always sure what people mean when throwing around certain terms! What do YOU mean when you say the “Jewish” people? And what do you think that term means to the AIPAC lobbyists?
I fully support the teaching that the Biblical nation of Israel is God’s chosen people, but also believe what Paul said in Romans 9:6 “For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.” I do not accept Replacement Theology that says God is finished with the descendants of Jacob (Israel) and that there is no place for them in His future plans.
Many people who call themselves “Jewish” in today’s world are completely secular and do not adhere to any of the Biblical requirements as proscribed in the Torah. Others still follow all of the old “laws” and celebrate the “festivals” but reject Jesus as the Messiah.
And then there are the purely political types, such as Netanyahu, who is calculating and utterly corrupt, IMHO, but who play on the emotions of naïve American Christians who think our nation is going to be struck down if we ever dare to question anything the secular Israeli government says or does!
Add to that mix American politicians of BOTH parties who support ANY country that pays them a LOT of money to talk the talk…and we know that Israel does fall into that category!
Hah. Vikingmom, I agree with every observation you made. You and I are apparently looking at this from the same or very nearly the same perspective.
When I use the term “Jewish”, I refer to those people who consider themselves Jewish by ethnicity, and/or genetics, and/or faith-related spiritual beliefs, community preferences, and other dimensions. The website linked below IMHO does an excellent job of comprehensively describing the concept of “being Jewish.”
https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/3854897/jewish/What-Is-a-Jew.htm
I do know for a fact from firsthand experience that not all self-described “Jewish” people are rabid Zionists. Many do not like or agree with the Netanyahu government.
“Israel” does not refer to a land area of x number of square miles with certain borders. I subscribe to the biblical definition of Israel, as well as the biblical account of Israel’s history and ultimate destiny.
The “nation of Israel” refers to a people, regardless of where they each live. They have a biblical destiny promised by God, but one that is independent of how our political government deals with their political government.
That’s the basis for my use of “Jewish” and “Israel”. Oh, and I use “Israeli” to refer only to citizens of Israel – the political country created by partitioning Palestine by the UN in 1947, and made official with it’s own government in May of 1948.
You should be much more worried about the DSA and their growing influence in city councils around the country than any “Jewish-RINO cabal “ you seem to think exists…….
I would respectfully suggest that you exercise more caution in letting your hateful antisemitism show so obviously for all to see…….
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sundance!!!!
I hope that the discourse will now adjust on these pages 😉
The majority of us love our country. We may snap at each other but that’s what family does. We tend to know our own on here. Frustration can be spotted and perhaps even misinterpreted. Trolls are a cinch. They can’t hide themselves
Excellent!
We cannot spare this man, he fights for all of us.
Optimal solutions are the takeaway, as we cannot afford to let perfect be the enemy of the good. Better to have half the loaf of bread now then none. And that does not preclude efforts to get the remaining half a loaf one slice at a time either as the opportunity presents itself.
As far as breaking the abusive GOPe business model, that is going to take more time and successors following in President Trump’s footsteps. Which is going to be challenging given most horses have owners.
That can be broken easily. All that we have to do is take a lesson from Bernie. Yes, Bernie Sanders.
PDJT got 74M votes. Harness the power of crowd funding the way that Bernie did & those 74M can fund a lot of MAGA candidates for very little money per person. Many more than the UniParty can or will.
President Trump is still doing what I voted for him to do.
The reality is what we get after Trump is going to be here really soon and there isnt anything in line to sustain it.
That’s why everyone who is listening to what’s going on needs to get right with Jesus. If you can’t see it then I’d have to opine you are spiritually sleeping. Looks like there is a spiritual awakening but be careful of the spirit that awakens. It may not be who you think it is.
THANK YOU !!!
100% support every word of this post.
the “professionally republican” strike teams are out in full force,
here and on social media.
engage them until they run home crying to Sea Island.🤣
shrug off the “trusty planner” pejorative –
it is in PRESIDENT TRUMP that i place my trust to navigate this minefield.
not coincidentally, i noticed ted cruz is teasing another run for President today.
QED.
That Canadian-born gentleman?
We understand them. Believe me, we do.
Don’t like his approach to the stated issues you address but they are not the most concerning. Most concerning are no indictments of Deep staters…no movement on election integrity. But to be honest we really don’t have any other choice but to support PT no matter……This is a lost cause situation.
It is extremely disappointing that PT wont do what is necessary to go after DS ….either get rid of Bondi Patel, who both clearly lie, and create his own Special Council to do the job. It is one thing that has to be done along with stopping vote fraud.
” ….. Most concerning are no indictments of Deep staters…no movement on election integrity.”
Those are two of my major concerns as well. Another concern is his failure, and his staff’s failure, to go over the heads of the MSM and to communicate the details and the reasoning behind his economic game plan directly to the American people.
It is clearly evident to me, right here and now, that the MAGA voter base hasn’t been courted by Trump’s people in the way that it needs to be courted in order for the MAGA movement to prevail in 2026 mid-terms.
H1B is the same as bring manufacturing back to the US. Those tech firms can train people if they don’t quite fit the bill. These jobs in the future are critically important. US workers doing that makes our tech harder to steal.
Chinese Students. Just make sure they get the same DEI, alphabet stuff our kids get. In the long term it will ruin them just like us.
50 Year M. Get the Illegals out and get Blackrock, Vanguard and the rest out of the Residential Real Estate Market. Home ownership is too important to let big money interfere. Make sure AirBnBs are not owned by big money. Those 3 things will make home ownership more affordable.
A related example. If Bill Gates is buying farmland and idling it and others like him doing the same. Those farms need to be sold and put back into actively farming. Food security and lower food prices are critical going forward. The water going into the Pacific in CA needs to routed back to farmers. Farmland needs to be farmed not idled or speculated with.
Banks and other businesses need to be more competitive. Too Big To Fail in any economic sector needs to be broken up. The Big Banks need to be split up. There will be more competition and we won’t have to worry about Big Ones Failing. Several banks can participate in big loans. Most folks don’t understand economics and especially banking. It is no different here at the Treehouse. Good bank loans make an economy grow. Capitalism works. Banks that make bad loans don’t last.
Lots of smaller businesses make it much harder for the government to control and we want less control and more competition. Competition drives innovation.
The other side of the coin when it comes to the real estate bubble is just how many municipalities want, or rather need continually increasing home values. That is to increase property tax revenue for state and local governments as well as turning over bond debts.
So many municipalities
Need austerity lessons.
Too many of them are under the persuasion that they can continually spend other people’s money with no consequence to themselves, with most of the remainder being socialists with a particular goal in mind.
It is the other side of the coin RF. The free market will sort it out. Lot of the Blue States are losing people and will continue to lose people. They should change policies but most are not. Normally the free market would help sort it out. The South is continuing to grow and prices have moderated but are much higher than 6 years ago. In my area of TN the price spike has stopped. The addition of homes is helping and older folks are selling and moving to a cheaper area too.
The Blue states should be seeing a drop in prices and prices should fall substantially going forward. Newsom as an example is bringing in millions of illegals to prop up the market and let people live in tents too which helps destroy the market. Hard to figure how that is going to end. Communists only know how to destroy. Newsom is going to put people in high density high rises and for the first time in History they won’t turn into hovels.
We truly are in a pickle.
The companies now hire the foreign students upon graduation in a F1-to-H1b transition that completely bypasses the 100k fee recently implemented by executive order. There will be no reduction in H1b, there is no reduction in F1 or any reduction in any other visa program. The system of foreign replacement continues at exactly the same pace as before.
There are soooo
Many issues with
H
L
F
TN
visas – where to start?
But at least the issue is breaking the surface,
And entering, slowly (oh sooo s-l-o-w-l-y!!)
The public consciousness.
Wow. They sure do know how to find a way around the system. Just have to get rid of the H1B. If AI is going to be as good as they say, they will not need many of those IT jobs?
MAGA is America First and it ought to start with Americans First in the Job Market.
President Trump is the best president in my lifetime, hands down. I hate the H1B system. I think we need to immediately stop all immigration, legal or illegal, to let some very necessary assimilation take place. I think Sharia “law” should be declared a foreign terrorist activity.
On the other hand I absolutely love the tariffs and I think the Supreme Court may well hamstring us by ruling incorrectly. I trust President Trump to do the best he can to counter almost 80 years of the Marshall Plan which has devolved into taxpayer dollars being sent to every nation in the world just so some of it could be filtered back into congressmen’s pockets. For example, AOC from $0 to $21 million in 6 years. The fundamental problem President Trump is working to address is that our “private sector” businesses have gotten fat by abusing the American worker. The average worker has no retirement plan, is wondering when his job is either going overseas or to a foreign worker here, and is being verbally crapped on by Vivek and Elon in order to support their agendas. This situation needs to be corrected and President Trump is the one person who can do it.
And keep blowing those drug boats out of the water!
These are small potato issues. Are people really thinking about leaving MAGA over them? Look at what President Trump has delivered that really matters: a return to energy independence and lower energy costs. An end to open borders. In fact, they’re shut solid. Deportations of illegal migrants. Tax cuts in the One, Big Beautiful Bill. Wars nipped in the bud. And a restoration of national promise and pride. Look for the forest for the trees, people.
He is knocking down the problems left and right.
No other President has taken on a vipers den, including the courts who are totally aligned politically to stop our President.
They are throwing the kitchen sink at him and he is still solving problems one at time, methodically. He has not lost sight.
As always your vision is clear. I am 100% Trump.
The way the problem gets fixed is by removing the economic incentives for U.S. politicians to destabilize the domestic labor market for U.S. citizens. They benefit from the handouts and revolving door of corporatist, globalist, and foreign interests to destabilize the domestic labor market for U.S. citizens. The primary reason these interests pay the politicians to do this is to lower labor costs as much as possible to increase their wealth as rapidly as possible in a non-symbiotic manner. Of course, with respect to the globalist and foreign interests, there are other more nefarious reasons as well that basically amount to they wish to see the U.S. subjugated for their own interests.
This is why politicians not just permit but use their position to facilitate the mass offshoring of the nation’s jobs to foreign countries; the mass outsourcing of domestic work to foreign firms; the mass in-sourcing of foreign replacement labor; a rapid acceleration of automation; and unfair trade agreements all of which destabilize the domestic labor markets for the nation’s citizens they are elected to represent. This results in high “functional unemployment;” high non-entitlement social service costs; increasing income inequality; escalating government debt; lower real-wages; etc.
Any solution to the above problem would need to be accompanied, of course, by a fair election framework to ensure candidates compete on the same footing apart from personal wealth.
Remove all economic incentives for them to sell the nation down the drain while making elections fair and the nation will recover.
In a fair election framework, it should be stated that only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote.
Of course, government corruption will always be a thing that needs to be addressed by U.S. voters; however, having the nation on a solid economic footing (rather than this sociological, political, and economic fragmentation we’re observing in the present decline) also goes a long way toward assisting with the reform of government corruption for the simple reason that the fragmenting socio-political-economic decline won’t be diverting attention away from the reform effort.
Sundance or anyone,
What does RJC stand for in the following sentence that Sundance wrote, above?
“That boss move did not win Trump any benefits there, RJC lack of attendance notwithstanding.”
I believe the Republican Jewish Coalition.
Oh, I hadn’t thought of that; thank you! 🙂
When PDJT gets reliable, valuable intel on MAGA play actors, he acts and quickly. When that happens be assured he knows something that you don’t.
Thank you SD. God did not create the entirety of the world in 1 day & neither can PDJT fix everything that is so wrong in our beloved Republic in less than 1 year.
We’re blessed to have him & we all need to be patient while he pulls the plan together.
A corollary. President Trump did not cause 25% inflation from 2021-2025 (January dates), neither can he reduce prices in 10 months to where there were when Biden took office in 2021. Deflation of 25% would be interesting……
The perfect has always been the enemy of the good. Has Trump done good? Read this and you tell me.

So we have lost the country.
With all the controversies, some of which are bc of a few in the admin who are less than honest, President Trump is certainly working against many forces.
Unfortunately, this is a time when the wheat separate from the chaff. The fair-weather friends start to fall away.
Many of the people who helped promote Pres. Trump were really in it for themselves. That is another detail that becomes clear.
I stand with Pres. Trump.
Yes, I still support Trump. 100%.
But, here in Ohio, I will be voting against Vivek. I’ve been doing software development for decades and to be told I’m not “good enough” and that Indians need to be brought in to “educate” me is utterly insulting.
End H1B totally and completely. There is nothing Americans cannot do.
This was a much needed look into the interior of the politics going on. I’m with Trump, they will never break my loyalty.
The ultimate optimal solution: a fake-named tech-bro puppet president and a san francisco brown girl lawyer as first lady. Sounds awesome!
Thanks Sundance
Sooner or later what is happening in Mexico is going to happen here. And it’s probably going to be a lot sooner than people realize.
What specifically is happening that you wish to point out?
Large protests against their government a few days ago.
Thank you Harry N.
Can someone tell me about the Muslims taking over Texas, that is a major problem.
If we do not handle this , we are done.
Outstanding. Thank you Sundance.
You are not a lone flea in front of that furnace.
🙏❤️
Retired Magistrate here: President Trump, the man in the arena. He was bloodied and battered, but survived to fight another day, and won.
Is President Trump perfect, of course not. However, he is the best President of my lifetime (78 years) in attempting to do what is best for American citizens.
So I continue to look at the big picture and President Trump is doing a great job. Whenever I doubt that, I think of the alternative, Kamala Harris as President and then thank GOD Donald Trump is President.
Amen, Marcia.
We certainly received an example of how Republicans operate in their oh so uniparty way in this fall’s 2025 elections.
Lack of MAGA support was a big factor in the loss of Virginia. Voters stayed home. MAGA voters Do Not necessarily support Republicans especially when President Trump does not endorse them.
Before posters here gloss over the controversies in the comments…..know like Sundance stated in this thread some are here to demotivate MAGA support. Too much and too often critical of President Trump comments are net negative. Especially generalized anti-Trump anti-MAGA comments…..enough already!
There are ways of offering alternatives or voicing dislike of certain policy moves without coming off as denouncing MAGA.
Demotivated voters didn’t show up in Virginia and the Republicans were and are to blame. Go with caution criticizing MAGA or President Trump.
If Virginians preferred to show their disgust by allowing a see-eye-a communist plant to govern them, they failed to see the forest for the dead tree.
Negative. The alternative, intentionally so, was not much more palatable and certainly not motivating for voters.
Some like myself held our noses and voted anyway knowing full well the alternative was much worse than the luke warm “conservative” GOP ticket.
As CTH says, there is no alternative to our current President.
Do I like the H-1B policy as it currently stands?
No, I do not.
And people don’t understand it, and that the visa issue includes other programs:
L-1
ESTA
F-1
J-1
Improper use of B-1
and more.
Yet, DJT is the only game in town.
The President is accomplishing so much in so many ways, that it will take impartial historians years to analyze and recognize.
No one’s perfect.
And it would also help,
If President Trump had
ANY
Help from the
Unpublicans
In the house
and the senate,
Who seem to me, to just hope to ‘run out the clock’ on the current administration.
Well, it’s up to us to force them to stay on the field & play by our rules.
We cannot expect PDJT to do everything for us, we must use our agency.
I completely back and trust Trump for one simple reason: HES SMART
If he wasn’t smart he wouldn’t be president. Look who he has beaten to get there. You think it was easy? He beat a field of GOP candidates in 2016 that was a who’s who of candidates (we were told). Then he went on to defeat Hillary Clinton with everything she and the media threw at him!
Then he overcame Mueller, Comey and gang, Ukraine impeachment and then Covid 19 which was not easy! He then lost in 2020 because of a feckless VP only to storm back to defeat his foe Biden and then his replacement Kamala 4 years later, all while surviving two real assassination attempts!
When has MTG manage anything close to one of these? Massey? Rand Paul? Ron DeSanctimonious? Nikki Quicky Haley?
And remember only Trump could do what has been done at the border. Only Trump could do the global reset on trade that we have seen. Only Trump could have done for the crypto industry what he’s done. Or keep China in check, the Middle East at peace! Only Trump could have over turned Roe v Wade. Only Trump could have set the Jan 6 people free! Literally he’s the only man!
Yet, we have detractors many of whom didn’t even vote for him but pretend to be MAGA. These are power mad people who are only in it for their self interest or that of Israel.
Trump is the leader America needed at the right time. It’s why God didn’t let his head get blown off on live television as the globalists intended! He’s my leader and I will oppose anyone who opposes him!
MAGA !!
I have no heroes, but I do have champions. I find that I am driven to defend my champion from attacks as long as he is still fighting and on the good path.
Trump is pragmatic. He is not a calm statesman….but he is most effective.
I love our president. Mess with him and you mess with me.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
^^yeap
Fire Susie Wile, Pam Bimbo and Kash Patel
2/3 of those positions require Senate confirmation.
Who replaces them?
I will volunteer to replace Kash!
I think many of my 24/7 FAUX News watching family and friends have swallowed the bait that everything is the fault of the “Dems” and that “if only” the Republicans could get more Representatives in the House and Senate, everything would finally be done that they have been promising us for DECADES!
But when I ask WHY none of those things were done when Bush 43 had the White House, the House, and the Senate, they have no answers…and then I point out that Donald Trump had the White House, the House, and the Senate in his first term and we got almost nothing(and Paul Ryan threw the midterms)! And now, AGAIN, we the People, delivered and they, the Uniparty have failed in almost every single area they PROMISED they would fix!
The problem is NOT the Democrats – the problem is the establishment Republicans that work for the Chamber of Commerce, the Koch brothers, the country club consultant class, and the Neo-Con Never Trumpers! They WANT to be in the minority because then they can “sell” their votes to the highest bidder!
And MUCH of “Conservative” media is in on the scam because it keeps their ratings up when they constantly blame the Democrats but divert attention away from the rest of the story!
Sundance has pointed out this dynamic time and again but the FAUX News crowd never hears it – they are too busy gushing on Jesse Waters and waiting breathlessly for Blondi’s next “we’re gonna git ’em!”interview!
Bush never had “control” of the Senate because the Republicans never had 60 votes. As long as they never have 60 votes, and the Fillibuster remains in effect, the Democrats will control the Senate and cause Government shutdowns whenever they feel threatened.
“… the professional Republican apparatus going through a state level congressional redistricting effort, using the statistics from the 2024 electoral coalition that President Trump delivered.”
They foolishly error in assuming PDJT support = R support. If nothing else the disenchanted D’s that voted MAGA have no allegiance to furthering the R’s goals (which seem to be gaining their own personal wealth).
One of the most important things to know:
You can’t threaten Republicans with elections; they want to lose.
The UNIPARTY has mastered staying in power either way.
Another distraction that I have seen floating across ‘conservative’ websites is discussing who is the frontrunner for the 2028 Presidential election, with no mention of the 2026 midterms. Republicans, MAGA included, tend to only come out during a Presidential election, whereas the 2026 midterms are important for strengthening the Republican majority in Congress so Trump can implement his agenda. 2028 is three years away. I have seen very little relating to correcting the election fraud from 2020 and 2024. There is a case before the SC that would help if ruled correctly that all votes must be tabulated on election day not 5,10, 21 days afterwards. That would be a big win if it goes as we want but it will have no effect on dirty voter rolls, like the NJ vote last week had, voting machines or mail in voting. Republicans need to get involved now, it is the primaries that determine the party candidate. They also need to know more about their state’s set-up. South Carolina has open primaries, so neocon Lindsay Graham is preferred unless there is someone in the primaries that can withstand the democrat cross over vote. Texas has open primaries also.
2026 midterms voting for Trump’s agenda.
Love the meme. Don’t get caught up in the weeds, people. Step up to the 40,000 foot view. You don’t bet on a race horse and then go crying for you money back before the race is over. I’m sticking with Trump 100% because he is the ONLY LION amongst the creepy, two faced weaklings (sheep) who can and will WIN !
We have no time for pretense. People need to stop pretending they know what it is like to walk in Trump’s shoes. The finesse of this man is remarkable. He can enter ANY room and have an impact. I, for one, am grateful we hired him. The level of corruption is ubiquitous. If that is all you pay attention to then you will miss the genius of the man. The system you think needs correcting will become obsolete before we are done. It is the only way the Golden Age can and will become reality. And it’s not for everyone, especially the crooks. You choose.
