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.

You should know that the “Redacted” duo, Tucker Carlson’s best buddies, are tying members of President Trump’s Cabinet into the Epstein saga. Even a new nominee.
The duo are desperately casting doubt on the recent revelation from newly redacted court documents that President Trump was in fact a whistleblower on Epstein. Shrugging and implying the court documents were fake. I mean, let’s not facts get in the way. The woman is desperate to pin it on President Trump.
I used to really like Redacted in the beginning and then they started going downhill fast in my opinion. I am sure there are many that do not think so. I have not watched them in a while and decided to check in on the show to see if things were getting better. My mistake!!
Just an FYI.
Did anyone ever stop to wonder why Donald Trump became “so damned rich?” Because he was and is honest and ethical. In a world filled with sharks, he was the boat. You were willing to commit hundreds of millions of your dollars into his hands because you could trust him. Not every effort succeeded, of course, but he was never trying to rip you off. If he had to take bankruptcy, it was not because he didn’t try. (And, he very rarely took it.)
Same deal: Next time you’re traveling to a city that has a “Trump®” hotel, tell the cabbie to drive there. You’ll be treated like a member of the family who just happens to be royalty. And yet, the room price will be fair. Yes, “little things” mean everything. Trump has drilled that work-ethic into everyone who works for him. It’s a reflection of himself. He’s a billionaire who earned it.
A guy like Trump could see through a guy like Epstein instantly. Just another shark variation.
I think this is very true and a reason so many of us see all the fraudsters and corrupt politicians is because they are not. We can sense the insincerity and lies. One does not have to Know an Adam Schiff to see instantly what he is.
And yet, the political organization within California (I do not say, “the citizens” thereof) put him in the Senate after years of his abusing his position in the House. Obviously, some people never learn.
That creates the envy from politicians and the why tarnished pols secretly or overtly hate him.
But also why we love him!
I watched a couple documentaries on YouTube about his father and grandfather. It’s obvious he gets his work ethic from both of them.
Same opinion here.
The “Redacted” duo – former Fox News anchor Clayton Morris and his wife Natali – seem to have departed the pro-Trump / pro-MAGA (the majority) contingent of the conservative movement and joined a counter-narrative supporting faction that subtly nips away at the majority with prickly questions but little facts to back them up.
i know where this post will go… but you’ll have to add a lot of people to that list.
we can call them all “RINOs” or whatever, and we seem pretty eager to throw one person after another overboard that overwhelmingly support the causes we once claimed to be in favor of… but an increasing number of people are disillusioned by the failures to focus on the homefront.
i would also point out that “pro-MAGA” and “pro-Trump” are two different things. that their venn diagrams overlap more than any other president is notable and important. but they are not the same.
And THAT kind of microscopic focus on nuances and the small number of differences is PRECISELY the fuel that keeps the Splitter Strategists in business.
I general do not complain about or bring ANY attention to these splitter grifters; I merely refuse to watch them or upvote their YouTubes or Rumble videos; maybe even down vote them if I have the opportunity. I want THEM to get the message of my dissatisfaction with their chosen narratives, not to broadcast my opinion of them to the nation.
This is what blocks the Republicans from winning more often that they have. Democrats stick together even though a significant number of subgroups don’t agree with the core platform. Politically they win because they don’t quibble over nuances or even bother with Venn Diagrams of those subgroups.
Muley I’m in a red state (for now) and I know that my Rep and both Senators, as patriotic as they make themselves out to be, have a Sword of Damocles hanging over them.
This would be the shadow people, the spooks, who at the moment of a vote important to them, will tap them on the shoulder as Sundance told us Mr. Comer did earlier today.
They will say you will vote this way or that or your little indiscretion of past years may get amplified.
I have not watched them for while but I have heard them say things are clearly untrue/non factual. I just stopped watching.
MTG unloads in an appearance on Redacted. During the interview, she explains that incumbents can be cut off from being able to hire or retain political consultants and campaign managers.
I remember when MTG first went to DC after winning her election. She said that she had been apolitical until she became familiar with Donald Trump’s MAGA message and wanted to be a part of that effort.
Y’all can hate her. I don’t.
“Jeffrey Epstein is just the tip of the iceberg” It’s one big Uniparty! w MTG | Redacted
I hate that she ran for Congress for a TWO YEARS commitment.
Her itty bitty feelings got hurt, and she quit one year early, but stayed long enough for her pension.
I don’t like quitters!
For me it is that and all her appearances are on sites that loathe our president.
Running to the enemy for air time rubs me wrong. Chris Christie in a dress with a Southern accent, I’ll pass.
So…
Have the conservative news sites invited MTG onto their shows while they have been trying to maintain access in DC?
The airwaves are full of super left leaning shows, every conservative knows that.
Anyone that wants their face on tv has a better chance of doing so if they are willing to trash our president or MAGA.
I don’t consider Faux conservative and I’m sure there are shows that would welcome MTG on to trash our MAGA. Newsmax has been airing more left leaning guests so I imagine she could get some face time there.
The bigger point is there are few conservative sites and if you need your face on tv then you will likely be willing to sell out and your previously held convictions to achieve it.
I find them redacted pretty disgusting. They were accused of crime before and portraying themselves as virtuous now? Same people not said a word about Roger Ailes. Also, they left the US already why come back? Guess, they found a niche to grift again.
I would not be surprised if some of the people around Trump are not what they seem. Remember what happened in his first term.

Definitely need the “This is my surprised face” meme? (NOT surprised AT ALL!)
Thune. The GOP. SMH.
can also confirm this. i still travel a lot for work, and the hate is purely a media concoction.
True. The majority of México’s citizens approve of President Trump. Even the gas station attendants @ Pemex yell ” Trump Trump Trump ” when I pull into the pumps to buy gas!!
Gracias Dios
Belgium. Bet Flanders likes President Trump and Wallonia doesn’t. 😉
I saw a story on Fox News about the Minnesota Republican running for Governor (against Klobuchar). His daughter was stabbed to death today, so he is suspending his campaign. Initially, I thought Tim Walz has struck again. But, it turns out the girl’s husband did it. The husband was found with self-inflicted wounds, so they think he did it, anyway. The girl was only 23. Sad.
Open defiance…
So Islam is a race now? Funny I thought it was a religion.
So the UK government would have you believe.
Oh….and it’s not a religion either 😎
It’s the whole package! They got it all and they are going to own us in 15 years if not removed.
So sad.. what has the UK become? This is exactly what they want to do to America.. and it’s slowly happening.
Mark Steyn warned post 9/11.
But honestly, who, immediately after having watched the Twin Towers fall and the hideous devastation, if told that in 25 years we’d be where we are now would have believed it?
The UK is dead.
We watched from not very far away up here and I can tell ya, those of us that really understand what went on, we’re not surprised at all at what we’re looking at today in NY.
NY really fell apart shortly after Rudy left office. Rudy was completely what kept that place between the rails, when he was gone, it was right back to crazyland.
(think about why Putin has been there for life, many places demand that level of stability, period)
I can’t imagine how painful it must have been for Donald Trump to leave his beloved city, and yet he did.
It was that bad, it was that clear where it all was going and the man that believes he can do anything- walked away on what was his home.
I thought the same when he upped sticks for MAL. Nothing stays the same…nothing. But this? Once, people thought NYC was the greatest in the world. And I suppose it was…
Now degraded and dirty…and conquered.
I would take my kids and go basically almost anywhere I could to get the hell out of the UK at this point.
That place has a very dark and ugly future coming.
The end seemed to have finally come with the passing of QEII, sis.
Even the small town where I lived for so long in Wales has lost its charm. And that breaks my heart.
So, it’s going on 3 days now and VA Senator Whiner hasn’t responded to the letter. Has anyone seen anything from the loser? The ball is in his court. Or he should be in court.
The following three bullet points are sufficient to me to explain how Jeffrey Epstein became the extremely politically powerful and instantly wealthy criminal who continued to grow into the truly evil sexual predator he was soon to become.
Top 20 New Epstein Insights from Mike Benz
Epstein Was the Blob
1. Epstein’s early career at Bear Stearns overlapped with CIA money laundering during the Iran-Contra affair, aligning with Church Committee restrictions that forced the agency to rely on private financial networks for covert funding. This timing connected Epstein to international arms dealers and intelligence operatives, blending legitimate finance with black-market ops.
2. Epstein’s ties to arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi connected him directly to covert Iran-Contra operations, where Khashoggi served as a Saudi middleman funneling arms sale profits to the Nicaraguan Contras. This put Epstein within a global network of intel proxies executing off-the-books deals across the Middle East and Latin America.
3. Epstein had links to Southern Air Transport, a CIA-front airline used for black ops, weapons transport, and smuggling operations supporting the Contras. These aviation connections tied Epstein to logistics networks that combined CIA with organized crime syndicates during the Cold War.

This could be your family and kids just as easily…
Mugshots show the suspects; sheriff confirmed they entered under Biden-era policies and were “just making a living” in the trades — until they allegedly turned vicious and abducted an American family.
Layer-by-layer breakdown of the outrage:
1. “Just painters” myth shattered
Same pipeline we see everywhere: open borders → catch-and-release → low-skill jobs with zero vetting. Construction companies hire them cheap, no real background checks, no English requirement, no criminal history verification from home countries.
2. No idea who’s here
We don’t know real identities, no reliable criminal records, no gang affiliations checked. Result? Predators blend in as “workers,” then strike. This isn’t “worst first” — this is everyday risk when borders are erased.
3. Victims: innocent American family
Mom and two children gone for over 10 days. Could be any family. The post is right: ANY of our kids could be next when unknown men with unknown pasts roam free in communities.
4. Sheriff & officials confirm the obvious
Press conference focused on the arrests and ongoing search — but the underlying truth is glaring: policies that flood the country with unvetted individuals create these monsters in plain sight.
5. Stakes right now
Family still missing. Every hour counts. Reward tips pouring in via Mobile County Sheriff’s Office & FBI. Deport ALL illegals — no exceptions, no “good ones” loopholes. Secure the border, vet everyone, put Americans first.
America First means zero tolerance for open-border crime. Deport them all, lock it down, protect our families. No more gambling with American lives for cheap labor.
Praying hard tonight for the safe return of this mom and her two children. Say a prayer. Call your reps. Demand mass deportations now.
Contrast how much the fake media has reported on this story with that of the mother of Savannah Guthrie. It didn’t fit their narratives with illegals being the perps. What will be really hilarious is if the abduction of Guthrie was done by an illegal(s). See how quickly the fake media will then drop that story.
Based on some of the information coming out today, it might very well turn out to be just that…
Meanwhile, in Minnesota, a crowd of leftists – including lawyers – attempt to prevent the detainment of a meth dealer found with 50 pounds of drugs…
Meanwhile, the woke county attorney whines about ICE “interfering” with their pursuit of “justice” (likely consisting of letting the illegal go with a slap on the wrist).
A report from a group on the ground in Somalia about the common crimes of rape and murder. Of course, we know how the Somalians completely change their ways and assimilate into our culture renouncing all criminal activity and becoming model members of society…
Somalia: Rape and violence against women and children widespread, NGO warns
The international charity Save the Children is warning of widespread violence against women and children in Somalia. Just this week, a father killed his four children in an arson attack. In October, an 11-year-old girl was subject to a violent rape, and a mother was murdered along with her three daughters. According to Save the Children, these cases are not isolated, and action needs to be taken. In Perspective, we spoke to Zahra Dahir, the head of Children Protection and Gender and Social Inclusion at Save the Children.

Meanwhile in a quiet British Columbian town. ( Tumbler Ridge)
A mass shooting, apparently 10 dead…many injured.
Shooter originally described as a female, nope.
The story now goes the suspect is a transgender!
AKA mentally unstable walking time bombs!
I wonder how our communists in power will spin this one.
PROOF Obama’s Birth Certificate is Fake
Righteous anger…
They are BOTH wrong. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the illegal aliens are criminals – they all broke the law the moment they illegally entered our nation.
Fact of the matter is they all broke the law, none of them have a right to be here, and the ALL need to go.
Additionally, every single politician or person who interferes with their removal or harbors them in ‘sanctuary’ cities/states, or who encourages or aids them in staying here are in violation of federal law and should be arrested and charged under 8 USC 1324.
When one considers that there are thousands of illegal aliens in any ‘sanctuary’ area, they should be facing life long sentences – and in the case of areas where an illegal alien has murdered someone, they should be facing even harsher sentences…
