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.

I will post this until I get a reply indicating Sundance is aware. In the Epstein files, searches of “Charisma Edge” or “Cesar Sayoc” will bring you to an email in which Edge states Sayoc will be housed in the same cell as Epstein in the Special Housing Unit (SHU)…to prevent his suicide!
Given Sundance’s articles on the suspicious case of Sayoc, I would ask why venue was SDNY and not Florida and how against incredible odds a man willing to mail 13 bombs to Democrat leaders could end up so close to Epstein? Is that not enough to question the motives of DOJ and BOP officials?

SAY HELLO:
[email protected]
Say hello already.
I’ve never noticed that in the banner. Thank you, I will.
Maher is at it again.
“Doug Burgum, he’s the interior secretary. Listen to this… He said, CO2, carbon, was never a pollutant. He said when we breathe, we emit CO2.”
“Okay, Doug, you know what? Let’s try this little experiment. Um, tonight when you get home, go in the garage, close the door, turn the car on, and let’s see if carbon is a pollutant, okay?”
Water is a pollutant if you’re drowning in it.
Water is a pollutant to human mucosal tissue if it is not 0.9% sodium content.
Almost as bad as dihydrogen monoxide!
Yeah you gotta stay aware from dihydrogen monoxide. Its everywhere…
Dihydrogen Monoxide. If you breath it, you die.
Maher is a washed-up, wanna-be actor who has zero understanding of the difference between carbon monoxide (deadly), and carbon dioxide (essential for plant growth).
He’s a seltzer water blathering putz.
I saw it in him when he was doing Murder She Wrote. Always a sleaze ball part.
eagle……indeed…thank you
I’m so glad that you posted this. I thought there was a difference but all the Maher audience thought he was so clever, they all laughed and for a moment I thought that I had it wrong all these years.
Is it possible that he doesn’t know the difference?
Mr. Maher, might I ask if you agree that humans must have H2o, water, to live and be healthy? “If so, let’s try this little experiment. Um, tonight when you go home” fill your garage with water and totally submerge yourself for 10 minutes and see if you’re still alive and healthy.
Also, would you kindly look up the differences between carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and the differences of humor and stupidity?
There has to be grain of truth to humor. There is neither here.
<There has to be grain of truth to humor.>
You’re correct…
When my doctor told me to go on a low sodium diet…
I took his advice with a grain of salt 🙂
☠️
You are here all week, right?
Yes…
But the veal sucks 🙂
I think that is what Bill Maher did. He is speaking from experience and his brain is damaged.
Carbon dioxide – C02 – is not the same as Carbon monoxide.
Both can kill you. But then so can pure oxygen
Common core chemistry, like common core maths is hard.
Well now!!! What do you know? Are you a television show host? Did you go to haarvaarrddd?
He is a jerk! PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TRUTH SOCIAL
“Sometimes in life you waste time!
T.V. Host Bill Maher asked to have dinner with me through one of his friends, also a friend of mine, and I agreed.
He came into the famed Oval Office much different than I thought he would be. He was extremely nervous, had ZERO confidence in himself and, to soothe his nerves, immediately, within seconds, asked for a “Vodka Tonic.” He said to me, “I’ve never felt like this before, I’m actually scared.”
In one respect, it was somewhat endearing! Anyway, we had a great dinner, it was quick, easy, and he seemed to be a nice guy and, for his first show after our dinner, he was very respectful about our meeting — But with everything I have done in bringing our Country back from “OBLIVION,” why wouldn’t he be?
But then I noticed his show started to devolve into the same old story — Very boring, ANTI TRUMP, no mention of the PERFECT Border, Lowest Crime in 125 years, the Mass Removal of Stone Cold Criminals, the 50,000 DOW, the 7,000 S&P (Both Highest Ever!), Least Number of Murders since 1900, Venezuela, “Midnight Hammer,” Soleimani DEAD, al-Baghdadi DEAD, Lowest Inflation in YEARS (1.2% for last three months!), the Rebuilding of our Military, Eight War Stoppages, and on, and on, and on!
In any event, it was a total waste of time for me to have this jerk at the White House and last night, after explaining what a DISASTER Canadian “Leaders” are to deal with, how Canada has “ripped off” the United States for years on TRADE (But not anymore!), I jokingly stated in a TRUTH that, “The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.” Well, he went on and on about the Hockey statement, like “What kind of a person would say such a foolish thing as this,” as though I were being serious when I said it.
Fortunately, his Television Ratings are so low that nobody will learn about his various Fake News statements about me.
He is no different than Kimmel, Fallon, or Colbert but, I must admit, slightly more talented!
Anyway, Bill Maher is a highly overrated LIGHTWEIGHT, and Republicans should stop using him to show how the Left is coming over our way — Our Base, the Greatest of All Time, laughs at your weakness when you do it!
Maher asked me if he could come back to the White House again and, with his friend, also asked to come to the wonderful White House Christmas Party, but he didn’t.
Regardless, I’d much rather spend my time MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN than wasting it on him.
Bill continues to suffer from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS!), and there is nothing that will ever be done to cure him of this very serious disease.
Thank you for your attention to this minor matter!
President DJT”

Obviously he failed organic chemistry, or should have.
Common core chemistry grades on the bell curve.
He never would have tried a course in organic chemistry!!!!!!
Once they started talking about moles in Chemistry I was out, but I learned quite a bit about them when I tried to figure out my country as an adult.
Seems someone doesn’t know the difference between carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
Kind of basic knowledge, even if one never took a basic chemistry course.
It’s the feelings that count.
carbon monoxide
How emberrassing
It is what ‘they’ do.
He (and script writers) know that the c-dem voter base will wrongly believe the inference
and not connect the dots:
tail pipe emissions, carbon monoxide, can be hazardous in a closed area
carbon dioxide is what animals exhale, after inhaling oxygen (air). And carbon dioxide is utilized by (green chlorophyl) plant life (photosynthesis) to create oxygen.
That used to be taught in … 9 th grade … biology.
( in addition to the x y animal chromosomes, reproduction, portion of the semester)
imho
If Bill Mahar does not understand the difference between carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide he must have failed third grade science.
Yes–we exhale carbon dioxide. Cars exhaust carbon MONOXIDE.
Like conflating clinging ivy and poison ivy.
Brains have never been his (Bill Maher’s) strong suit.
He self owned himself. Didn’t know the difference between dioxide and monoxide. Dumba$$……..
This is the platform of the Democrat Party.
How does Voter ID work with mail in ballots?
As SD has illuminated, it’s not votes that matter, it’s ballots.
And omega4america has clearly demonstrated that while it’s virtually impossible to clear the gatekeepers & remove “voters” from the rolls, removing addresses that are ineligible to receive mail in ballots is both achievable & hugely effective.
If the U.S. Post Office wasn’t printing and transporting p reprinted ballots cross-country. That post office guy needs to be jacked up.
I’m in Ohio and for awhile I used the mail in ballot. In Ohio they send you a form to request a ballot that you have to sign and return. After they receive it they send you an actual ballot that you fill out and return that you have also signed. I’m assuming that they match the signatures for verification.
I go with one of my sons to vote now. You get a better idea of what the neighborhood is like!
YUP !
They don’t need the votes – just the bodies – they fill out the ballots themselves !
They do not need the bodies either; they just need the names on the voter rolls. This is how we have dead people voting and people voting across state lines. Not to mention the illegals.
One question I have, if someone shows up at the poll to vote with if and the role shows they voted already by mail in ballot, I believe the mail in ballot needs to be removed from the count. If it happens for multiple people, all mail in ballots should be null and void except those for the military
Show up with ID
I’m guessing it’s different from state to state. In CA they let you vote with a provisional ballot that goes into a different box, and after that who knows which one gets counted. It’s got scam written all over it. Started in 2018 and only got worse thereafter.
I doubt if anyone ever looks at those provisional ballots. In the 2016 Republican primary, the place I normally go to vote had a big line, and it got a lot bigger shortly after I arrived. After a while, they went to a spot in line not far behind me and told everyone behind it that they had to fill out provisional ballots. They claimed that the provisional ballots would be counted later after they were verified.
An hour or so after I went home, they called the state for Ted Cruz. No way any of those provisional ballots got counted. And the only reason for the huge extra turnout was because Trump was running. Cruz was probably behind Rubio in my area, and I seriously doubt that all those extra people turning out to vote did so to vote for Cruz.
Unless the SAVE Act requires EVERY one of the 150 million registered voters to verify their American citizenship then the monstrosity of universal mail-in ballot fraud will continue in the 2026 midterms.
And the machines that are counting the votes matter….
If voting actually worked, they wouldn’t let us do it.
Yet there is not one Republican I have heard, or Senator Fetterman a Democrat, or any TV news host right or left that will come right out with the unvarnished truth. The Democrats are against it because it will stop their cheating.
I may have missed a Republican saying it, and point out who that was please if someone has said it, but all I have seen is politicians and the media dancing around the truth. It’s about the Democrat being able to cheat..
The Uniparty Bush Republicans were in on the 1996 elections steal

The second meme is particularly salient. Everything old is new again.
Import vast hordes of people that have no sense of what it means to be an American nor how unique and precious the rights our founders enumerated and you have a recipe for the debacle we face.
Give them citizen ridiculous amounts of citizen monies which straps the citizens but favors non-citizens.
Throw in that you co-opt the education system to not educate younger generations about Civics nor the uniqueness and value of our founding. Do a full assault on anything American to bastardize said God given rights and demonize the value in them and here we are.

Does his new wife have TDS?
Nobody’s ever explained where this Epstein painting came from and why.
Yeah, that’s what I wanna know
If the Clintons ever testify on Epstein they should do so in front of this painting.
Hoping that the congressional panels Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary are set to testify to will have a copy of that portrait of Bill wearing the blue Monica dress enlarged and up front so the CNN and CSPAN cameras cannot ignore it!
Please!
Epstein set up Bills little affair with Monica in order to keep him in line.

Who wins the Oscar for best performance?
I watched the Senate Hearing of Minnesota AG Keith Ellison. He was being questioned by Senator Josh Hawley.
Well, the questioning turned into a shouting match between two imbeciles, IMO. The esteemed Senator, Hawley, could hardly contain himself screaming questions and accusations at Ellison. Ellison smiled, smirked and fired back with a bunch of nonsense and non-answers.
It was entertaining, but totally useless IMO. What will become of these theatrical performances, nothing.
Wouldn’t surprise me if those two went out for drinks afterwards and reviewed their comedic performances.
We actually pay people to do this and it’s just one example of the moronic behavior of people in Congress. I’m beginning to think Senator Hawley is turning into Rooster Trey Gawdy.
JMO
Remove the cameras and it would be a totally different testimony.
Inconsequential stage comedy for low information voters that are too stupid to understand the jokes.
The “public” hearings are Worthless Political Theater. They’re not even intended to be informational anymore – just Grandstanding to an ignorant audience.
That’s why Hillary DARED Congress to hold her hearings in “public” – because her and Bubba Know it would be nothing more than a circus sideshow.
The REAL investigations get done in closed hearings, where they can question witnesses at great length, for hours and hours.
It has always Kabuki theater.
You are so right!
But who allows it to be a Kabuki Theater-Congress and leadership. It doesn’t have to be that way. There could be rules that don’t allow all the BS to occur.
Unfortunately, Congress is not a serious deliberative body elected to solve problems. It has just evolved into a politically corrupt body that has passed laws that allow them to lie and enrich themselves with virtually no accountability.
Not sure if this can ever be corrected without states mandating a change, but too many states are corrupted as well.
Rules like the other side has to remain quite while an answer is given….no interruptions

The FBI under Wray opened 1,200 probes related to politicians, journalists, religious leaders, academics and others tied to “sensitive investigative matters,” using a special investigative tool that requires no factual predicate to launch, according to a Government Accountability Office report.
The GAO report, which was obtained by Just the News, was published last month but not made public, and it was titled FBI Investigative Activities: Oversight Efforts of Opening and Conducting Assessments Should be Strengthened.
The report, which assists in congressional oversight of the executive branch, provided details on the roughly 127,000 FBI “assessments” in all opened from 2018 to 2024, the vast majority of which were eventually closed without accusations of wrongdoing or criminal charges against those targets being scrutinized.
The 57-page report did not include any names of those targeted for assessment.
Among the total assessments, 1,200 were related to “sensitive investigative matters” that target public officials, news organizations, houses of worship or members of academia, which the bureau views as more sensitive in nature.
So-called “assessments” were established by Justice Department guidelines in 2008, providing the FBI with an investigative tool short of opening a full-fledged investigation requiring a factual predicate.
The probes are used by the bureau to “address a potential threat to national security or potential violation of federal criminal law,” the congressional watchdog said. They allow FBI agents to open probes on authorized matters but without a factual basis and allow them to employ investigative such techniques as physical surveillance on subjects.
If sufficient basis is found, assessments can turn into preliminary investigations, full investigations or enterprise investigations. But most assessments are closed without meeting the standards for a full inquiry by the bureau, the GAO said.
The revelations were detailed in the GAO’s January 2026 report, which was designated “For Official Use Only” because of the sensitive information it contains. GAO noted that the report should be “safeguarded when not being used and destroyed when no longer needed.”
Copies were sent only to the appropriate congressional committees, the U.S. attorney general and the FBI director on a need-to-know basis.

Ahhh. So that explains how all of the mass shooters were “known to the FBI” and nothing was ever done about it.
Maryland woman says TPUSA high school event raised ‘serious concerns,’ says Child Protective Services notified
Student leader says his group has faced ‘hate’ and misinformation since the December event
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/maryland-woman-says-tpusa-high-school-event-raised-serious-concerns-says-child-protective-services-notified
Minnesota & Maryland have a deep ‘color’ in common at the gov’t. level (all black-hearted-blue state usurpers, for which this demon-minion speaks, it sounds, imo)…
they put every TPUSA event-attendee (conservative) child
*on child-predator-CPS’s radar for targeting each of those families*.
CPS has proved to be professional industrial kidnappers for the usurpers *in every state*… look that up
{ Arizona child welfare workers fired for ‘professional kidnapper’ shirts } … oops! proud ya$$$ but can’t let that cat so clearly out of the bag
CPS has a long, wide, deep & often reputation of being the tip of the spear for industrial kidnappings including Medical Kidnapping, btw. (do a quick search on that term)
Flipping that minion’s script-narrative could be easy – with Pure Sunlight
from 52’s video:
“… “Students are widely recognized as vulnerable population, they are in critical developmental stages, and especially susceptible to influence,” she added….”
So… just bring in *ALL THE NAMES OF ALL THE MINORS* who have been trafficked, abducted , abused, sexually assaulted, injured, maimed, gone missing, & died* at the hands of illegal aliens AND,
for contrast, all those FOUND by ICE to date…
(not found by CPS or “teachers union” (against ICE) anywhere, BTW) –
THEN… start reciting the names of minors abducted, injured, died, and LOST by CPS in that state followed by the (under-reported) national figures.
Names just in that state alone first, then move on to also national; begin with the news-worthy examples that are household names by now.
It will take hours & hours/weeks to read every name out in court, there are thousands (tens of thousands nationwide) – read them here…
{ https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/02/teachers-union-school-districts-sue-trump-administration-ice/ }
Create a precedent – expose all the usurpers’ leftist indoctrination in those districts AND for exposing the umbrella teachers’-union-of-usurpers (AND CPS usurpers while at it) – with Trump’s Dep’t. of Ed spilling the tea about their dark shenanigans from the federal files.
Let the Dep’t. of Ed. do something USEFUL before its closed.
WE the PEOPLE cannot despise the entrenched public indoctrination cabal/ teachers’ union of usurpers enough – let me mention the incestuous connection to CPS again in that category…
pedo-usurper vermin tend to insinuate themselves & nest where their targets are;
both previously effecting the ‘Totalitarian Tiptoe’ for progressively encroaching on, to erode, and to circumvent Parental Rights; shutting parents out of their own child/ren’s ‘schooling’/ indoctrination/ “PROTECTION” for cover of their darkest deeds everywhere.
Teachers union filed a lawsuit that opened that Pandora’s Box – Trump holds the hair that suspends the Sword of Damocles over all their heads already.
Now is that just a mixed metaphor or more like a lethal cocktail…
the teachers’ union wants a fight as much as any angry-punk-drunk in a bar who doesn’t like their looks & thinks he can take down the biker bros who just want to be left alone to shoot their own friendly-competition games of pool.
These usurper people are drunk on the blood of children – ‘figuratively speaking’ of course.

Or, perhaps more precisely, it’s worth 25 million words, which is the high-end estimate of the total number of illegals that the Biden administration allowed to flood the border for four straight years. (No one knows exactly how many crossed because, of course, Biden and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas didn’t bother tracking many of them.)
To put that in hard numbers, eight percent of the population of Nicaragua is about half a million people. Six percent of Haiti’s population is almost three-quarters of a million.

These people make me laugh. Been dealing with this nonsense since 2016.
Look at the Electoral College. Rubio has no path.
He’s not winning Wisconsin, which is always the go-to. Sorry, it was actually tougher in 2024.
He’s not winning Michigan or Pennsylvannia.
That’s a wrap.
Gee, the pundits kept telling us that DJT had no path to succeed in 2016, 2020, and in 2024 either.
But thanks for the positive message on this lovely Sunday.

Sen. Collins of Maine now says she supports the SAVE Act, but only on one condition – which she explains is “having people provide an ID at the polls, just as they have to do before boarding an airplane, checking into a hotel, or buying an alcoholic beverage, is a simple reform that will improve the security of our federal elections and will help give people more confidence in the results.”
The problem I see is that a great deal of what passes as acceptable ID for the kind of purposes she listed are forms of ID where the possessor do not necessarily have to prove citizenship to obtain, which means that her condition will permit non-citizens to vote. Even state-issued drivers licenses in a great many states currently do not require proving citizenship to get one, and even if the SAVE Act will correct that going forward, what does it do for the millions of driver licenses that were issued that did not require proving citizenship, and remember that the Moter Voter act pretty much automatically registered everyone to vote who got a driver license, even non-citizens, and as we know now in many blue states, illegals. Issuance of all acceptable ID to vote should have a citizenship-verification requirement, perhaps with citizen and non-citizen versions of the ID so polling place workers can tell the difference.
What I fear Collins’ condition will do is water down the SAVE Act to the point that it is better than nothing, but maybe not by much. What it may do is mollify enough Maine voters, most of whom are not conservatives, like Collins herself, to help her get re-elected.
Collins made that statement after the House had passed the bill, so it already contains language that satisfies her. No further amendments needed.
Reported…the change involved…removing a voter proving citizenship at the poll…to proving citizenship at time of registration…AND…ID proof at the poll.
If that is the version she is now supporting and it does not need to go back to the House if the 50+VP vote for it after a “talking” filibuster, then okay, that is probably the best that can be expected right now.
But a great deal more needs to be done to eliminate election fraud. This bill cannot be the end of the reform effort. Not nearly.
Like we are gonna trust Dem states to do either?

Great post! My Grandfather, who fought on the Western Front for Britain in WWI, blamed Churchill for the military disaster at Gallipoli! He was a Sergeant in the British Army and I never asked him if he fought there to my disappointment. He never forgave Churchill so much so that when my Mother and Dad went to visit Churchill’s historic home Blenheim Palace he refused to go inside and waited outside! Just some trivia how historic events effected individuals for a lifetime.
Here’s a fun fact for your grandfather. The strategy to take out Constantinople was sound. Constantinople was the only place in the Ottoman Empire that made weapons. Taking it out would likely have forced an early surrender by Turkey and opened supply routes to Russia.
The plan was very poorly executed and ended in dismal failure. However, Churchill, as the First Lord of the Admiralty (Navy Secretary in US parlance) took full responsibility for the failure under his command, took leave of parliament and served the next 15 months in the trenches on the Western Front.
Churchill was a man who took full responsibility and voluntarily self imposed consequences to make amends and share the hardship of the troops.
With all due respect to your Grandfather, he was wrong about Churchill, a man of enormous character and integrity.
There is a well written account of this in Winston Churchill: An Intimate Portrait by
Violet Bonham Carter. She was a close personal friend of Churchill during this period. In her opinion, Churchill was right to order the attack but was let down by incompetence in the Admiralty. She contends that the attack would have been successful if pressed and was only abandoned because of cowards in the command staff aboard ship. She makes a very strong case in Churchill’s defense.
Fox is late with the news.
Some of us who watch Tousi.TV to keep up with Iran news knew about this days ago. President Trump has also commissioned the G.H.W. Bush from the Mediterranean to the Middle East. A third aircraft carrier. Nobody knows where these carriers will be positioned for certain. Most will be used for defense of nations and U.S. bases in the surrounding countries as the story goes.
President Trump means business. If the IRGC do not give up their ballistic missiles who knows what will happen.

An interesting take on America. Michael Dmith.
“The danger isn’t believing in ideals — a society needs them. The danger is mistaking aspirations for operating conditions. A free society survives not because its citizens are uniquely good, but because its structure assumes they are not by dispersing power, limiting reach, and forcing tradeoffs into the open.
The reason Adams issued his private caveat was because the Founders created such a system of freedom that people would be free to be righteous or corrupt. It is a system that could easily be diminished and perverted. Our Constitution did not require a moral and religious people to function. It required a system strong enough even when they weren’t.”

I guess Woodie Guthrie, the commie, would have to change the lyrics of his most famous commie song “This Land is your Land” to conform with his fellow traveler, Billie Eilish…”This land is American Indian land, this land is native American land, from California to the New York island…”
Nowadays it’s stolen land, back then it was commie land.
You could easily say that “All of Europe,” and, hell, “the entire Planet” consists of “stolen land” according to somebody. History books do not describe “pleasant” nor “just” events.

“The Cloud™” is simply the latest, very-sophisticated, incarnation of the very old idea of “timesharing.” And it very obviously is “a good idea, well-implemented.” The technology is solid. (You are using it right now.)
However: You must never forget that “the Cloud” consists of real machines, and these machines have operators and owners who have a “real” perspective of what these machines are actually doing. They have access to your data! (Unless your technicians exercise considerably more control over the situation than most people do. They can control this potential vulnerability, if you also have hardware of your own.)
It is reasonable to assume that “corporate IT staffs” have both the knowledge and the awareness that is needed to use these resources properly. (I am, after all, “one of those people.”) But it remains very easy for other, perhaps less-well-funded, organizations to be lacking in these areas. And: “this is what qualified consultants are for.” (No, I am not tooting my own horn.)
I am entirely confident that every “cloud” provider is ethical and professional. But, it is your game to properly and appropriately protect what your business is doing, and what business risks you face.

Waste, fraud and abuse, all gone. Taxpayer money, all grifted. And what do the Somalis do? Laugh and tell we fools to keep working and paying taxes so that they can continue to get their free money.
Getting real tired of it. I’ve been funding this government for over half a century, and they can’t even write a budget, let alone live within one. How long must we, the American taxpayers put up with it?
Abolish the TEMPORARY income tax now President Trump!!!
After discovering massive fraud by Somalis in Minnesota, where are the perp walks like Navarro in hand and leg irons? Oh my bad the IC run mockingbird msm wouldn’t report them even if they had happened! My guess is if the Somalis weren’t able to flee the country beforehand (tipped off of course) they were treated with kid gloves! JMO
