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.

A teacher ‘poses a risk to children’ because he showed videos of President Trump during a ‘politics class’ to his A-level students.
He has been referred to a ‘government counter-terrorism programme’ for this heinous crime.
Maybe Henley College should be investigated for malpractice?
And maybe they should investigate the hurty feelings of two precious far left students who were ‘offended’ during the class.
If your feelings were offended looking at Donald Trump inauguration videos perhaps real life and politics isn’t for you?
Pathetic, what a joke of a country we have become.
Students have become feminised far left youth, coddled by a captured and corrupted education system.

So, “UK Government,” what exactly is it about “President Trump” that you are so damned AFRAID OF?
https://x.com/NYIslanders/status/2005107346662436870?s=20
Tried to post so it would be visible, Twitter (X) gave me the boot many months ago so not working. 104 year old WWII vet playing the National Anthem at an NHL game yesterday.
Replace the x dot com with twitter dot com to get it to embed 😉
I wonder just how many of us are still banned from X ? Millions stil ?
Cuttin onions again.
Oh man, that tore me up!
Listen up: Our flag is still there under the guardianship of President Donald J. Trump!
This is NYC! Wow. Gives me hope.
As the son of a WWII vet, it took a minute to clear the snot bubbles,
but to answer the question:
YES, The Star Spangled Banner does still wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave.
I pity the fool that under estimates us.
Look at the love on his face! The crowd chanting “USA”….
Great Americans are still with us!
Great set of lungs and breath control for a man of 104! WOW.
And concentration.
Thank you
Dang these allergies! Where did I put those tissues.
Video from the beginning of the meeting…
As they go behind closed doors…
That looks fancy, I like it.
Wow, little Z finally found a suit coat that fit him — and he’s wearing it.
President Trump better give the final edict to little Z today. No more of this farting around and TACOing on what has to be done. I’m sick of it. Tell the tiny installed dictator what happens, and now, or else rip off the bandaid and stop everything…no more money, no more intelligence, no more satellite guidance.
TACO?
Trump Always Chickens Out…a term associated with his many tariff switcheroos. But he’s done it plenty on Ukraine…talk tough…set deadlines…nothing.
Boo Hoo!
By the way, what idealized version of reality do you live in?
Trump has been working towards peace in Ukraine from the day he took Office. Biden allowed the war to begin, and didn’t even attempt diplomacy for the nearly 3 years it continued while he was in the WH.
A lefty slur coined by democrats. Refers to President Trump as chickening out.
I agree. YOU sit in that “lonely chair.” You wouldn’t last one day.
Precisely!
If Trump always chickens out why do so many leftist judges have to try stopping him? Makes no sense
Exactly. I am surprised to see anyone here using that term against our President.
Yep, the trolls in the comment section over at The Daily Wire use it all the time, and that site is infested with trolls every day, and Daily Wire won’t get rid of them.
Taco?!!@
Yawn.You President of something?
No surprise and likely…
Meanwhile in Somalisota, grandfather whines that they can’t marry child brides. These people don’t belong here…
Correction – actually in Somalia…not there is much difference, same thinking.

I would prefer prosecutions, restitutions, deportations, and a reduction in the budget – with excess going to paying off the debt.
Taxpayers had their $ stolen. The diamonds need to be returned.
The debt causes billions of diamonds a month to be stolen to pay the interest…
I’m past worrying about the debt. No one else worries about it apparently. I’m completely over being lied to and stolen from.
So your preference is to continually pay ever greater amounts to service it? Or would it be option B – condemn your fellow citizens to a dystopia you couldn’t imagine through default?
I’m with you, Harrison.
At this point I’d gladly pay more taxes if they actually went to find, capture, prosecute and imprison people.
I wasn’t proposing more taxes, “just” the enforcement of fraud and corruption laws with the restitution going to paying off the debt. They already have more than enough budgetary dollars to actually do their job Raven.
Very fishy…

Epoch Times article on heavy metals poisoning, sources, and detoxification.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/the-hidden-heavy-metals-damaging-your-brain-and-where-they-come-from-5960843
Thinking abut recent months, its like Congress doesn’t exist. No legislation to change anything. No engagement with current events. Just empty sideshow drama like Marjorie Taylor Green, Nancy Mace, Epstein.
For the democrats its lawfare and media sound bites.
For the republicans its do nothing and tough sounding “supportive” interviews.
The Democrats and establishment Republicans are just trying to run the clock out on Trump because they know he can’t have another term. Same with the liberal judges willing to get constantly overturned by a higher court. It’s all about resisting Trump by running out the clock on him. Speaker Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Thune are no better. They are taking their time on confirmations and not even bringing bills to the floor for votes with the exception of funding bills in which they have no choice, but you saw what the Democrats did to delay even that and to try to turn the voters against President Trump.
Valid points and maybe true. Their real hope imo, is to stop him in 11 months with the 2026 elections. They are working hard to delay as much as they can for at least that long and if the Dems take the House and Senate, they will consider it game over.
I agree but it will be harder to stop Trump if the Democrats take the House than last time. Nothing is going to slow him down other than the district court justices. I think Trump will just ignore the impeachment this time and keep on going. The only real change would be if the Dems took enough seats to convict Trump of some fake made up crime and I don’t see them gaining enough seats to do that. Which gets back to my point the establishment republicans are already trying to run out the clock on Trump. They have codified almost none of his EO’s into law. I think one or two at the most. The Senators are resisting the nuclear option to get things done. More resist.
67 out of 100 Senators would need to vote for conviction if all are present. It’s just more of the same delaying tactic.
I would love to see an exploritory organisation float the idea of DJT running for a third term.
Yes I know it can’t happen but imagine all the splody heads blatting on! LOL
Good morning America, where are ya? Cold and rainy down Kankakee way…native sons all dressed for rain….
Fine as frog hair! Bright, sunny and in the 70s here in LA. (Lower Alabama) but the change is on the way. Brrrr
Pouring here in WNY. Temps up tonight, plunge tomorrow and winds with up to 60 mile gusts headed in. Ugh.
Cold and getting colder in northern Minnesota, and we are expected to get very strong winds, too.
All the Great Lakes freighters that were waiting in Two Harbors and Silver Bay headed to Duluth to anchor there for safety. It’s being reported the big lake could get up to 40′ waves.
Whoa, if they come they’ll do some damage along the shore.
We’ve battened down the hatches, but wait to see if the wind takes out more of our trees through the night.
I’m praying for everyone who has to be out through this storm, and pray that the trees that fall do so away from houses.
I’m praying with you!
Thank you, MsWords.
On the Great Lakes it’s actually 40′ chop, no swells. That’s the kind of thing that sinks ships due to bending them along the keel. That is what happened to the Edmund Fitzgerald. No sailor is going out in that shit.
Duluth Harbor cam showing the Canal with two anchored boats in the distance.
The Ice Storm started about an hour ago up here in the Adirondacks, yea!
I was getting tired of Snow all the time, anyway.
Aha. I have misunderstood why the Democrats so love Third-World immigrants and illegal aliens. The rackets in Minnesota make it clear. These people can be employed to receive illicit government money, and if caught they will simply be deported. They will not be kept around as evidence against those higher up the food chain.
I have long thought the Democratic party was a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization. It’s always about the money, and tapping into the cash flows of the Federal Government is lucrative beyond anything else immaginable. I thought Act Blue was a money laundry, going back years. Now the crass corruption of the Somali community in Minnesota can blow the lid off of the money laundry nationwide.
The question is if people will go to jail, or will this operation be quietly shut down and the scamsters move on to another racket? Let’s say a dozen prominent Republicans in Congress have been getting lucre from the Democrats’ operations. Will the Department of Justice indict them with the Dems or act to sweep it all under the rug?
People are cynical and fed up with dirty politicians, but nothing ever seems to happen. No one goes to jail, but the scams become more bold. Are we about to see someone put country first, above party? The Minnesota rackets could lead right to the top, if we can find the courage to face that our country is hemorrhaging money, and strong action is necessary. If not, the normalization of graft and kickbacks will continue, and we will stare down the path to a failed state.
There may be bounds on what one can do within a corrupted system to address corruption. I was hoping (voted) for an “authorized revolution”, which I expected would involve breaking the lesser or derivative laws of a corrupted system to restore the constitutional system.
In exchange for true justice, communicated clearly with abundant evidence to back it up, judges and others maintaining the letter of the corrupted system would be ignored/removed/jailed. Much more massive illegal immigration sweeps. Genuine shutdown of intrinsically corrupt government agencies. Guantanomo or its equivalent would be filled, awaiting prosecution against the justice of self-evident natural law. Seemed plausible for a one-term administration.
However, its instead gone the way of extreme and rigorous deference to the existing legal system. Lots of evidence presentation, but paralysis as far as action to address it. Evil is exposed, but just continues openly, protected by the system.
I worry that this ongoing, open evil will so disillusion the aware public that when the inevitable house-cleaning occurs, it will be less concerned about restoring the original consitutional system … less precise.
An example is the absolute deference to statue of limitations. The idea that if no one discovers and prosecutes the crime within say 5 years, the perpetrators are immune. This is about as anti-justice as you can get.
The rationalizations given for “statute of limitations” are incoherent, anti-justice, and not worth respecting in the face of evidence.
Sometimes its even given as “Statutes of limitations provide a sense of finality for individuals and entities, allowing them to move on with their lives without the perpetual threat of litigation.”
Given, the Judiciary does demand deference. But if I was a lawyer, I would want to go to work for President Trump. He is not afraid of going to court. He litigates every case, sues every slander, every libel. He appeals every verdict that rules against him. He is his own law firm, and he knows more about the law than most litigants. In his way, he is grinding down the bulwarks of judicial fiat by not giving in, ever. The Dems have thrown the book at him, and he has prevailed.
Will Congressional votes taking place in January hold President Trump back, from taking a big stick to our enemies, the crooks who are putting us in the poor house? I believe not, and that will start the momentum to take us to a victory in November. The people will see that MAGA is getting the job done, and it is the Dems who are dragging their feet. The Voters will reward our Results, so vigorous action will serve us well. 2026 will be a Great Year.
I saw some dopey broad walking around with a “protect trans kids” t-shirt. First thing I thought was that there are no “trans” kids, only children that have been mentally and physically abused by teachers, counselors, psychologists, and sometimes parents. The only thing these kids need protection from are the above noted abusers and government officials.
There was a time not long ago in our society where people that did stuff like this to kids would spend decades in prison and likely not live to see a release date. Today, we celebrate them. We should expect no real blessings as a nation from our Holy, Righteous God as long as we continue to allow hundreds of thousands of innocent children to be abused in this horrid way. It’s nauseating.

Just because a patent office issued a patent on it…does NOT mean the technology actually works…there are PLENTY of issued patents for inventions that don’t actually work.
True. Also even technology that works often takes a lot of $ and time to change from a lab experiment to a commercial endeavor.
But as I said – interesting.

Sir Keir Starmer has a plan…to replenish the military in the UK
How the military will make its gap year scheme appeal to Gen Z
Under-25 volunteers will spend one to two years in training in a branch of the Armed Forces
With Gen Z preferring to deliver takeaways than join the British military, policymakers face an uphill battle in recruiting for their Armed Forces “gap year”.
The UK is introducing a new voluntary, paid gap year programme to bolster forces recruitment, build public awareness of the threat posed by Russia, and equip young people with life skills.
Launching in March, the scheme will see an initial cohort of 150 under-25s get a taste of military life, spending between one and two years in training in a branch of the Armed Forces, The i Paper revealed this week.
Modelled on a similar scheme in Australia, it would introduce them to a military career or equip them with life skills if they decide not to enlist, with no commitment to join full-time.
From advertisements to itinerary, the military must now decide how to sell its flagship scheme to a largely unengaged demographic.
Experts have suggested it will need to emphasise its commitment to inclusivity and show how it will offer the sense of purpose and work-life balance many in the younger generation seek.
Polling has found that only 11 per cent of youngsters would fight for their country.
Last year, a survey ranked the Armed Forces alongside fast food and delivery firms as the least attractive places for Gen Z to work.
Former Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said that “Generation Z is not joining the Armed Forces in the way my generation did”.
If only 11% of Britain’s Gen Z would fight for their country, then maybe they need to focus on making their country worth fighting for.

🚨BREAKING — Small Business Administration Kelly Lynn Loeffler announces the SBA is CUTTING OFF ALL grants to Minnesota after uncovering some half-a-billion dollars in fraud.
She adds the agency will work to CLAWBACK the misused funds.

So: How many decades has this been going on? Surely you know …
What happened? An HONEST President, and a segment of the People who started asking questions and demanding answers. (Wow.)
They seriously need to claw back fraudulent payments. Private businesses do it all the time. When my husband retired a few years ago, his previous employer clawed back the portion of a bonus he received that was supposed to be match in a 401k account. They said federal law disallows those deferred tax account contributions after retirement.
How about all grants. ALL grants. This is not just a MN problem I bet. Ma’am, your grant process needs a re-do. Do you ever do field audits?
so all of this aid fraud in MN has been going on for many years and suddenly people are “shocked”. Please.
These groups and people steal money from the government till and then split the dough with elected officials in the form of political donations and other such caca. Just like Ukrainian aid money. It’s a huge money laundering scheme. Maybe Lindsey Graham wrote a “how-to” guide book for this since he’s so good at every other government funding hustle.
If we had an FBI and DOJ intent on exposing the truth, it would all lead back to elected officials, some of them might be MN GOP members too. I know, I know, Blonde and Kash Bollywood are on it…….
Heads up.
Listen carefully:
China was looking to purchase physical silver from inside the US.
Access was denied.
China is now in a scramble to purchase silver concentrate from Peru (per the interviewee, a mine owner, above).
We are now in a metals war.
The last time we were in a commodities accessibility war (for oil, then) with an Asian nation, kinetic war broke out shortly thereafter.
Another source (hat tip Kat Ford)
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2025-12-27/silver-china-and-us-metal-war-now
Some implications:
https://www.zerohedge.com/precious-metals/when-prices-move-awful-lot-bad-things-become-possible
Silver is a critical metal, needed in modern weapons and industry.
I think the administration has imposed a silent export ban, at least to China.
Application of the modern Monroe doctrine would also therefore be working to cut off South America and Mexico as sources for Chinese acquisition of silver and silver concentrate.
Add in, we will perhaps see a possible tariff on silver imports, so that if a monetary shock hits, enemy nations won’t be able to break US banks by manipulating cheap silver into the US either.
It’s getting interesting out there.
Hubby’s been watching silver for a long time, and particularly tonight. Was telling me all about China cutting off the export of silver starting January 1st, and said things are going to get interesting then.
Silver up to $200 an ounce by the end of January?
Had to laugh when I heard an old Kennedy dime is now worth $5.00.
Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Don’t forget PDJT added it to the strategic metals list as well – and there has been tons of metal recently acquired by US banks from Mexico in the last several months.
The fact that LMBA has run dry, neither buying nor selling, is another interesting factor. Did you see the Friday discussion between Vince and KK?
Yes.
Not sure LBMA has actually run dry? No reporting of that elsewhere.
They have been neither buying or selling according to Vince and several others for more than a week. Can you think of another plausible reason?

Bondi replacement incoming? Dhillon or Ed Martin, Acting AG?
Guess she never heard of continuing conspiracy law…or that some crimes don’t have a statue of limitations. That or makes more money acting as dumb as she sounds.
For your consideration.
Follow the NOWs.
POTUS has signaled Bondi’s nearing departure.
Thousands of existing indictments left sealed and unprosecuted?
Allegedly.
From the same thread, wish I had time to dig deeper there…
Guess she thinks everyone is oblivious to the reality that while the hit percentage on the current picks are better than the first time around there have still been a string of bad choices.
Some rumors out there that a big bank that FA’d with silver, just FO in a bad way.
Open could be interesting.
Nothing I would be comfortable posting, yet.
There’s that phrase again, “counterparty risk.”
YMMV, related, but, Hal Turner.
https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/component/content/article/report-a-systemically-important-bank-collapsed-at-2-47-am-sunday
Timing? PianoZ?
Forced liquidation of “100’s of millions in short sales” would suggest a price increase, but overnight SLV price is down -3%, silver spot -4.31% right nnow. Or there is “timing” as to when it is actually unwound. Or unwound in a managed way to minimize impact. So I probably don’t understand the significance. Like not understanding the meaning of “FA’d” and “just FO in a bad way”.
FAFO.
