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.

Pakistani national Asif Merchant testified in a U.S. federal court that Iranian intelligence recruited him to arrange assassinations of top American politicians — allegedly including Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Nikki Haley.
Prosecutors say he traveled to the U.S. and paid $5,000 to people he believed were hitmen (actually undercover FBI agents). Iran denies involvement. The case is ongoing. Sources: Washington Post, DOJ, NY Post

The controllers of biden admin facilitated potential assassinations with wide open borders and zero vetting.
Notably, nobody in Iranian intelligence wants to assassinate Obama.
The Global Deep State tried many angles, for sure. Anybody really know who that Crooks character was? How ’bout the Ukraine-loving day laborer from North Carolina? Who else? Lost track, to be honest. So now we know that “Iranian intelligence” recruited some Pakistani to take another shot at The Man… miraculously, this is the only solid lead in a series of assassination attempts. “Iranian intelligence” could literally have been ANY one or more entities in the Deep, Dark Web Of Entities…
Iran has attacked 12 countries so far
. . . Which, as it turns out, was not a smart thing to do. Iran blindly struck out at all of its neighbors, and in so doing turned every one of them instantaneously against them.
I must add: “So, this is what they planned to do with those ’13 nuclear bombs.'”
Cannot make sense of them doing this: Whether by plan of the heads of IRG or by separated islands of IRG left by themselves trying to figure out what to do with their weapons.

PSA on food recalls…those global grocer types need to get their vendors in line…this is not ok.

They decided their processed food wasn’t already bad enough for your health and added a bonus prize…
The cracker jack of the food industry…
I don’t eat any of the processed crap which really helps avoid recalls.
You are watching the food distribution quality control (and enforcement) mechanisms in real-time reaction.
Once a suspected problem is identified – in this case, “glass contamination” – the downstream distribution paths can be specifically and immediately identified, and particular products recalled. “Right down to the lot numbers.” All the way to the grocery shelves, even at particular stores. Fast enough to make a difference.
Also notice that mechanisms are in place to look for and detect these issues, and to turn them into “immediately actionable intelligence” which triggers recalls. Someone is actually and meaningfully [trying to …] inspecting the mountains of product as they flow by. And a “whistle” is acted upon.
We have fortunately come a long way since “The Jungle.” The warnings made by that novel were heard.
This is one important area where “our tax dollars” have been very well spent.

There are some on this site who fail to understand the difference between a republic and a democracy. For them, this from the founding fathers.
Concerns about democracy were widespread. Many Founders, including Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, distrusted direct democracy, fearing “mob rule.” They favored a representative republic, where elected officials—seen as more informed and virtuous—would make decisions on behalf of the people. As Hamilton stated, a well-regulated representative system would be “most likely to be happy, regular and durable.”
informed and virtuous
It’s been a long time…
Yes, the founders saw this possibility as well.
Religious freedom, but that’s a lot of trust to put in the continued wisdom and character of men free to develop their character without government interference.
We lost a lot by allowing communists to first water down, then indoctrinate our children, our press, our politicians.
We lost a lot with the “separation of church and state” interpretation of 1 letter of Thomas Jefferson. The founders intended our belief and faith in God to heavily influence the character of the citizens, votes, and the wisdom of the all civil servants, representatives, and judges.
Wise words for a nation that can maintain ‘legal’ voting; without it a ‘Republic’ can not stand. Without ‘Sanctity of Life’ it shouldn’t.
Cheaters should never win; cheating corrupts.
God Help US
Protect and cherish God’s children and He’ll lead the way.
republic /rĭ-pŭb′lĭk/
noun
A political order whose head of state is not a monarch.
That is what ‘republic’ denotes. It means not ruled by a king, queen, prince, sultan, emperor, Tsar or any other like person. It means the rule is not inherited. It in no way prevents a nation from being a democracy because it was ‘founded’ as a republic. Republics can be democracies, dictatorships, or a theocracy. Theocracies are usually dictatorships too.
Some republics that are not/were not democracies. The old USSR. Current Russia (a federal republic), Iran, China, Cuba, Sudan, Cameroon and Nicaragua. North Korea also calls itself a republic, but is closer to the ‘Hermit Kingdom’ of old as the leadership is now 3 generations of the same ruling family and they are grooming a 4th generation already.
Now we are a constitutional republic, but that doesn’t mean a democracy either. The old USSR, current Russia, China, North Korea and Cuba all have constitutions so are constitutional republics, but not democracies.
We also have a representative republic. How do we pick our representatives? Are they appointed like under our first attempt at a republic, the Articles of Confederation? No the Articles of Confederation were not a democracy. Delaware, Georgia, Virginia, South Carolina, and Rhode Island all appointed their representatives. Also many people wanted George Washington to be the king, and he wisely refused and preferred the republic.
We are a democratic Republic. We have free and fair elections (supposedly). But democracy needs qualifying words too. We are not pure or true democracy, where it is one person one vote. We are a limited democracy with checks and balances. We have separation of powers between the executive, legislative and judicial branches. We have the Bill of Rights and the Electoral college also as checks and balances.
So we can certainly be both, being FOUNDED as a republic, in no way keeps us from being a Democracy. People get hung up on that fact both of our major parties have chosen a form of our government to name themselves after. Earlier in our nation there was the Democratic-Republican Party. The party was founded in the early 1790s by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison as a response to the policies of the Federalist Party. That party broke up into the Democratic party and the Whig party.
Get over it, we are both a Representative republic and a limited democracy. Also remember the Democrats are doing exactly the opposite of what they say. They are not trying to protect democracy they are trying to destroy democracy. They want to get rid of the checks and balances of the limited democracy. They want to end the electoral college and go to direct elections for the president like they have already gotten for the Senate. They have corrupted the judiciary so the federal courts at the district level are a partisan arm of the Democratic party. They want to expand the Supreme court when back in power to pack it with liberal democratic activist justices. The Democrats are working hard to limit or eliminate the first and second amendments. The Democrats are using the government to try to illegally prosecute an imprison the opposition.
The United States is a republic.
From legalclarity.org
The United States is fundamentally structured as a republic, a design embedded in its founding documents. Under the U.S. Constitution, the President is chosen through an election process rather than through inheritance, and members of Congress are elected by the people.12 This framework ensures the government is a public matter and not subject to a monarch.
We are a republic where our representatives are democratically elected. You get over it.
The United States is a republic where leaders are chosen through democratic elections. This system ensures power comes from the people, not from inheritance or monarchy.
The Senators are supposed to be appointed by the state’s legislators.
Before the 17th amendment Senator’s were appointed by state legislatures that were elected. That way Senators were beholding to the state, not the lobbyist. But they were appointed by elected legislatures.
It was definitely a mistake.
Your comment describes a democracy.
Democratically elected representatives are a democracy.
Does being a Republic keep a nation from being a Dictatorship? No
Does being a Republic keep a nation from being a theocracy? No
So why would being a Republic keep a nation from being a democracy? It doesn’t..
The terms describe two different aspects of government that are not exclusive of the other.
It’s like saying an orange can’t be a citrus because it’s a fruit.
“We are a republic where our representatives are democratically elected. ”
This is why the US is a democratic republic.
”
“There are some on this site who fail to understand the difference between a republic and a democracy.”
Hmmmm, maybe get Paxton as AG?
How about making Ken Paxton the AG and giving Bondi an ambassador position in Greenland?
Paxton has stated he won’t drop out.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/im-staying-this-race-texas-ag-ken-paxton/
This could be a negotiating tactic.
Paxton said he is staying in the race and he will win no matter who President Trump endorses.
If indeed this is Cornyn and Thune’s play, if I were PDT, I would make them pass the Save Act first, you know as a sign of good faith since noone believes the Reps in Washington will stick to their “word”. Just my thoughts.
Why can’t PT threaten the renewal of FISA?
I would like to see Cornyn vote for the SAVE Act, in return for DJT’s endorsement and then, after the bill is signed, have him turn around and endorse Paxton…I know it won’t happen but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t love to see it!
They’ve screwed him so many times, it would be fair play.
“The Constitution/Bill of Rights!” A binding contract from the Founders to the future. Our challenge is to leave it as we found it, so our children and grandchildren can grow and prosper in the greatest country since the dawning of civilization, the USA!
Remember, when someone extols comity, reasoned discourse in the modern time, they are trying to shut up opposition.
We are dealing with rude, spoiled disciples, of ‘60s counter culturist, who don’t give a whit about your point of view.
Their only concern is, “what’s in it for me?” …look at the hundreds of newly minted millionaires (criminals) in congress.
These are worthless parasitic jerks who must be utterly defeated! There is no middle ground, how do you negotiate with an Abbie Hoffman (60-70’s lead counter culturist) acolyte
If you must, have the discussion with eyes wide open. Know that these ingrates are emotional beings and hate us, the ultimate emotion for destruction. If you complain you’re a monster and in chorus will vilify their target du Juor.
Think about what we’ve allowed, they want to kick some a$$, and we’re the shakedown target…what balls, or are we being dumb?
Just ignore them and they will go away…WRONG! This only emboldened them, giving that inch they took a mile and now little boys can be little girls and if you say anything you’re a homophobe or some such nonsense.
Anyhow, gird your loins free America. The parasitic hordes are seething and it’s gonna get bumpy as we unwind this lunacy.
Instead of enabling this childish behavior, they need to be spanked and sent to their rooms.
Keep in mind most if not all of our representatives are installed frauds, put in place to affect a result, by any measure the end of the USA and the West. Wake up, grow up we have a country and a world to save,
MAGA!
Example: James Talarico Dem candidate for Senator TX.
“Trans children are God’s children, made in God’s own image. There’s nothing wrong with them at all. They are perfect. They are beautiful. They are sacred.”
How do you meet this sickness half way? You don’t, it must be crushed.
I have confidence Texas will quickly dispatch this fool.
Anythings possible with the vote cheat system in place.
Democrats are definitely using the Spanberger strategy to get elected–appear moderate and talk a good game , once elected drop all pretenses and become the lunatic liberal commie you truly are.
Iran’s Missile Attacks Are Faltering. Here’s Why.
https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026/03/05/irans-missile-pace-falters-heres-why-n3812548
And also: Looks like bunker-busters are back on the menu, boys
Looking back at similar thoughts about Japan in WW2,
They had no navy left to fight, but they had fleets of suicide boats reserved for an invasion.
They had no trained air pilots, but that had swarms of suicide planes and barely enough training to take off and crash.
And they had more than enough idiots willing to die for the Emperor.
Or for Germany, we had to take ground to stop their rockets from reaching London. They just built new launchers if we took them out.
And in both cases bombing never stopped the production of new weapons.
Hope those lessons don’t apply to this war.
Justice Jackson authors unanimous SCOTUS opinion handing Trump an immigration win
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/justice-jackson-authors-unanimous-scotus-opinion-handing-trump-immigration-win
More likely, it was written by the aides to Justice Thomas, and Ketanji got out the stencil with her name, put a thick pencil in her fist, traced her name onto the opinion, and smiled: “What a good girl am I!“
😂
maybe they had an autopen
Wonder which of the other justices told her that this was going to be 8-1 if she didn’t get on board and that she was going to be a laughing stock in the entire legal community but that they would let her be the “author” of the decision if she played nice?
I have so little confidence in SCOTUS at this point – and if Alito actually steps down, as has been rumored, I don’t see the Senate allowing anyone of his caliber to replace him. It’s very discouraging because the Judiciary is now almost more corrupt than the Legislative Branch, if such a thing is possible!
The Trump Doctrine is here. It ends forever wars
https://archive.is/vpzIP
Let’s look at the Score card, so far…
Korean War – 80 Years, thaw with North Korea only because of Pres. Trump.
Iran – 47 years, open hostilities over only be because of Pres. Trump.
Now just the thaw with North Korea alone if this had happened under the Obola/Michael’s lover would get him MULTIPLE Nobel Prizes and Interviews 24/7 Ad Infinitum, where the interviewers would be openly and literally kissing his feet.
Quite literally Pres. Trump is living out the Rowdy Roddy Piper’s quote from the Movie “They Live”, “I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass… and I’m all out of bubblegum.”
As Dan Gorman labeled it, the “Donroe Doctrine”.
Finding Out – Intellectual Froglegs
https://rumble.com/v76mpvs-finding-out-intellectual-froglegs.html?e9s=src_v1_clr%2Csrc_v1_ucp_a
Thanks. Another masterpiece by Joe Dan.
I will place these thoughts here, but they apply to the Venezuela/Iran/China topics elsewhere.
A name from Ancient Greece should be better known: Epaminondas of Thebes.
Epaminondas was the general who figured out how to defeat Sparta, the brutal, murderous slave-state of Ancient Greece.
For literally centuries, Sparta was feared because of its military: male Spartans were trained in brutal fashion in military affairs from early on up.
Spartan citizens were focused on the military constantly: Sparta produced, as a result, none of the intellectual geniuses in Philosophy, Science, Art, and Music who came from Athens and other Greek city-states. You will not find a Spartan equivalent to Thales, Socrates, Praxiteles, or Aristoxenus.
Upon whose labor did Spartans depend therefore? Their slaves: estimates vary, but some historians say that perhaps 75% of the population in the Spartan state consisted of slaves.
This is why Spartans rarely wanted to get involved in a war: the probability of a massive revolt by their slaves – who produced every product needed by the militarized population, and who were terrorized by that population constantly – was very great!
Epaminondas decided in his city-state’s war not to attack the Spartan army directly: on the battlefield, he indirectly but quickly hit the Spartan formations from the side, a maneuver previously unknown.
More important for us here is his other indirect approach: hitting the Spartan countryside and freeing the slaves, ruining the Spartans economically!
As a result, Sparta suffered a defeat c. 330 B.C., from which it never recovered.
This economic approach was later used by Generals Ulysses Grant and William Sherman in the Civil War: destroying the plantation economy became an important factor in ending that war.
British strategist B.H. Liddell Hart, after experiencing the massive losses in World War I from head-on attacks, advocated resurrecting the ideas of Epaminondas and wrote that future wars should concentrate on destroying the economic base of an enemy.
Thus the bombing of the infrastructure of an enemy became a priority in World War II.
Conservative historian Victor Davis Hanson has also advocated for the same strategy in his books.
And now, whether President TRUMP and his advisors know of Epaminondas or not, they are – so far -successfully following the same strategy from 300 B.C.
The Chinese depend on foreign oil, and they depend on the world buying the junk produced by its slave-or-near-slave labor, very similar to Sparta depending on its slave-labor, which was shown to be a massive weakness in the foundation of the Spartan city-state.
Weaken or ruin an enemy economically, and their military will not be able to function for very long!
One might call it Triumphalism.
Very relevant perspective Ausonius. May I come at it from the another direction – one that put America in dire straits? America has been systematically gutted through decades of decline designed into Globalist agendas. The very financial cabal which Trump is now targeting, has been systematically dismantling Greece in order to create their own Sparta.
You will not find a Chinese equivalent to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Ford, Thomas Watson, Alexander Bell, Thomas Sowell, Chuck Yeager, Thomas Edison, George Patton, Billy Graham, Victor Hanson, Wright Brothers, John Deere, (OK I could go on forever!)
Oddly enough, ancient China had many great advances over the years. Read a book claiming that most of these advances failed to live past the Emperor that the advance was dedicated to. Hard to call it an advance though if it doesn’t actually advance the country.
But we still got Gunpowder.
Yes, indeed: the Globalists/Communists/Communist Chinese have been using “Economic Warfare” against America for decades!
It is difficult to impossible to find many everyday items which are American-made. President TRUMP’S counter-attack against that destruction has not been sufficiently appreciated yet!
“…You will not find a Chinese equivalent to George Washington…The Wright Brothers…”
And the reason for that lack is The Western Heritage of Individualism and Individual Responsibility, seen in Ancient Greece and Rome, accompanied by the mistrust of “God-Emperors” and of a Hive Mentality. These things will be married to the Judaeo-Christian Heritage of a God Who knows each individual and considers him or her important in the development of the Universe.
Coming out of that is a tradition of Ambition, Curiosity, and Persistence with the belief that failure is a step toward Ultimate Success: just as the sinner can reform his or her life and start over, so can the inventor, the businessman, or anyone.
In Arnold Schoenberg’s great cantata Jacob’s Ladder, the Angel Gabriel tells the souls assembled that “Sins are punishments which cleanse!”
A better aphorism of how failure can lead to success would be hard to find!
Western states, which tried to impose some sort of Divinity upon a ruler or to impose Group-Think upon their populations in order to control them, have failed either short-term or long-term.
“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work” Edison in reference to the invention of the light bulb.
True or not, a good example of perseverance.
The “Thomas Edison National Historic Park,” in West Orange, NJ, is something not to be missed. This is where a very large team headed by Edison developed and perfected many of his inventions. Turning them into commercially viable products that could then be manufactured.
The popular image is of “Edison working alone.” Fact is, after a very short time of obscurity, he never was.
Well-l-l-l … there actually were “important Chinese discoveries,” all of which happened before this “latest blip” called “Communism.” Which, in the centuries old history of this region, “will very soon pass.”
“Americans have forgotten how to cook.”
RFK Jr. just announced that HHS has a new initiative to teach Americans how to cook again.
“Every American can feed themselves cheaper than fast food.”

While I come from the generation where Home Ec was still a thing in school… I gotta say this is more a failure of mom’s out there in planting the seeds by teaching these skills as my own mother did.
T/o my 2 youngest sons’ teen years- one picky, the other willing to try anything… while I cooked for both, I’d have them assist some & occasionally go it alone.
I also required them to rotate trips with me to the grocery store. Teaching them to pay attention to pricing, deals, etc., as well as the occasional small runs on their own.
The older one now married to a picky “uber eater” lol, does cook for himself. At times he will call me & have me walk him through a recipe prep- which I think he really does just to make me feel needed 😉, plus some quality time spent.
My point is– mom’s & dad’s need to step it up & teach your children these basic life skills… & NOT rely on the gov to do it for you!
I’m teaching my grandson how to cook over a campfire, not hotdogs and smores but real food.
There is so much necessary to life that we have ‘convenienced’ ourselves into losing. Maintaining temperature on a cook using fire is one of them.
I sometimes watch shows where people do such things. And it is funny to see BBQ competitors brag about stick burners totally controlled manually VS computer controlled pellet feeders with set and forget it temperatures. Though some chefs still use open fires adjusting the fire and distance.
Me, I am totally dependent on modern ovens and stove tops. I guess that is less dependent than getting everything ubered.
I was talking with the headmaster of one of the top private schools in this area. I shared my concern that boys and young men just don’t know how to work with their hands – or even seem interested in it. – that we are so focused on plug-n-play “STEM” that we are losing generations of men who love to build, construct, repair, invent and reinvent. He told me they just added a robotics class and it was very popular. He was not convinced however that they were learning anything. He explained that they “just want to code”, not learn the mechanics, dynamics or structural aspects of robotics or applying any of it to real problems.
They really need both or they will not be able to fix any mechanical errors.
SHOP comes to mind. Home Economics was a class. I got the Betty Crocker Award, at graduation.
We have a generation that cannot use a manual can opener, an analog clock, or write incursive…to be able to cook is a joke…but face plant on a screen, they got it…I digress…
Heaven forbid they have to drive a stick shift.
Listening to the gears grinding is always entertaining…I have two daughters I taught to drive a stick shift.
Learned on my brothers 67 Pontiac GTO.
When I had a heart attack(!) last summer – BTW, I’m remarkably “unscathed” now thank you Lord – some people came to talk to me about how to cook. “Mediterranean Diet” and all that. I just smiled. Explaining to them that (a) there is no television in our house; and (b) plenty of cookbooks, which we use! In other words: we don’t eat out of the freezer case. The conversation switched to talking about recipes.
I continue to try to understand what the “America’s Test Kitchen™” cookbooks are trying to teach me, but the fact remains that “cooking” is a skill that you can become better at, and it is fun. (At the very least, “you get to eat your mistakes!”)
There are a few things that make sense to get from the freezer, namely ingredients such as flash-frozen vegetables that aren’t in season. But otherwise, you’re wasting too much money on too little “food,” when you can do much(!) better for the same amount of effort. And have fun doing it.
Wonderful that the Lord protected you through that trial, Mike.
Here is a book you may want to get and take advantage of all the fabulous information found within it.
‘Healing Spices: How to Use 50 Everyday and Exotic Spices to Boost Health and Beat Disease’ by Bharat B. Aggarwal.
The writer speaks of how Americans stopped using spices in their cooking years ago, and now-a-days tend to only use salt and pepper to spice every dish. So it was very interesting, and fun, to read about the 50 healing spices he suggests we all use, fun and sometimes difficult to find and add all of those spices to our spice cupboard, and even more fun to watch my creative husband add wild new tastes to the dishes he makes.
Sad thing is that the PhD who wrote the book, Bharat Aggarwal, was treated like a leper by the scientific/medical communities who went after him and his work — creating a storm of lies about his work — because Bharat dared to tell people the truth about the simple cures God gave us.
Glad to hear you recovered and are doing so well!
During the Covid nonsense when all the restaurants were closed and only grocery stores open. Observed the younger guys in the grocery store while doing my shopping. They looked totally lost and clueless. So weird. 🙄
First thing us 7 girls learned was how to cook and take care of the HOME. Ironing, laundry, cleaning. Family of 10 children. Thanks MOM.

🚨#BREAKING: Lakeshia Alston, the woman running for election as a REPUBLICAN in North Carolina’s Senate District 22 in a full hijab…
…and was revealed to actually be a LIFE-LONG DEMOCRAT
RAN COMPLETELY UNOPPOSED AND IS NOW THE GOP CANDIDATE!!!!
Cont…
in Nevada District 2, the northern, normal Nevadan part of the State, where the longtime Republican Congressman suddenly announced he wasn’t going to run for re-election, which instantly sent up thoughts of purposeful throwing the 2026 election to a Democrat, and
after the expected candidates each formally announced they will not be running for this seat (Sam Brown, Laxalt, Tarkanian) a man who lives and has businesses in Las Vegas, completely outside the district and had been running and losing to become a congressman in the southern Nevada districts, announced his candidacy for the northern Nevada district that will be subject to dastardly negative Democrat paid campaign ads.
I asked him on his X/twitter account for specifics, as his ad is all focused on him being a veteran of the military, says he is a successful Nevada businessman without naming his business, along with all the usual buzz words that candidates are using, even has all the “right” endorsements – including Turning Point USA –
in the online search engines his entire history, even his linked-in one, is scrubbed!!!
So, him saying he is a long time Nevada businessman, I went to the Nevada Secretary of State’s office to look up his business names and found two:
Strategic Foundations LLC – based and operating out of Las Vegas, Nevada so definitely not in District 2, which his home address also in Las Vegas. I looked up that business and it is a subsidiary of a business out of, hold your breath, Atlanta, Georgia where they go around giving motivational speeches for people in various oil and gas industries. That business he started in Las Vegas was created November of 2020.
the other business is something called OSJ Food Aid USA, a ‘domestic non-profit’ that he created in January 2025. Also Las Vegas based – and with absolutely no online presence as to what exactly it does which simply emanates the vibes of NGO expecting to get USAID money.
I truly hope I’m wrong but the over-emphasis of him being a military veteran, living and working out of Las Vegas, and everything else on him, his businesses and backgrounds completely scrubbed screams “when will people learn to vet the primary candidates or end up like what happened with the governor election in Virginia or the NYC mayor election???
The sense of why the other candidates Brown, Laxalt, Tarkanian all lost their congressional and senate races, when talking to my friends and business acquaintances here in the northern Nevada counties isn’t so much vote fraud but that all those 3 candidates are carpetbaggers – Brown moved to Nevada from Texas to Las Vegas and within a year runs for office, Laxalt moved to Las Vegas from Arizona, became AG for one term then couldn’t connect with the northern Nevada voters and Tarkanian also a Las Vegas resident thought his name would be a shoo-in for northern Nevada voters. Now we have someone with a completely scrubbed background entering a race in northern Nevada –
I know there are Treepers here from Las Vegas but am going to say it out loud, Clark County is a completely different country than the rest of the State of Nevada and this isn’t going to be an easy Republican win for the District 2 seat.
rant over. have fun.
Any southern Nevada Treepers know anything about this man: Lt.Col. David A. Flippo, U.S. Air Force Retired (his twitter/x address is: @DavidFlippoNV ) because all I know is that when someone’s entire online activity is scrubbed but has really nice endorsements from all the right people, red flags are waving and this voter would love some feedback.
Thanks in advance.
(the hijab wearing wife in the photo above has apparently set off some serious alarm bells so real info would be appreciated, it’s on us, the voters in the primaries to make sure we get it right this time, or we lose this country for generations to come.)
that district is just north of Raleigh and includes Durham. Pretty solid democrat territory, I would imagine. She ran unopposed because the NC GOP decided that they have no chance of ever winning it.
Not trying to nick your point here. The republicans are very good at self destruction and welcoming enemy combatants to the party. We then wonder how the GOP senate got to be all anti-maga…….. At some point people need to start asking if the self destruction wasn’t done purposely and not stupidity.
That district is about to find out how powerful the Muslim voting block is or isn’t.
NC district maps have been changed so many times it is very hard to determine where she lives.
Durham, NC. No way a Republican could win there. They’d probably be afraid to campaign there.
This is in Durham, NC. You’d be hard pressed to find a Republican in that area. I’m not at all surprised.
There are 5-major parts to the coming faux inflation spike that is coming to the retail shelves, services and gas pumps of the US Consumer (voter) to consider when all the screeching starts by the Media Economic Pundits and US Politicians against the Iran Operation. Faux inflation blamed on the operation vs Iran and it’s allies.
Goods made in the US that go nowhere near the Arabian Sea Environs.
Goods coming from Asia that cross the PACIFIC (going no where near the threats Arabian Sea environs)
Goods coming from Europe and Africa that cross the ATLANTIC and CARIBBEAN (going no where near the threats of Arabian Sea environs)
Goods from the Middle East that Cross the MEDITERRANEAN – ATLANTIC (going no where near the threats of Arabian Sea environs)
Goods (10-15% OF THE OIL for the US consumer) from the Middle East that have to transit the Arabian Sea Environs in range of Iran, Somalia (Home of our Friend Ilhan Omar D-MN) and Yemen. But wait … the US WAS Energy Independent in 2019 and STILL HAS in place the assets and Trump-Gov De-Regulation Actions to BE ENERGY Independent.
The same can be said for the nearly every consumer market across the globe …. with the exception of potential high impact of energy with the Middle East being the source of 25-30% of the Worlds Energy … which needs to be and is being addressed. It will be interesting and key to see how the “City of London – DAVOS” Cartel and National Central Bank Clients to their financial masters (City of London – DAVOS Cartel) react across ALL 5-Paths above.
All this while the US Consumer still makes up 40% of the engine that drives Global GDP.
The only other comment I add at this time is that the US and its “allies” need to go diplomatic and/or scorched earth on Somalia and Yemen as Iranian Allies … while Iran and China Inc. are in turmoil.
International Energy Owners, The Marine Insurance Companies and Shipping Ownership Clubs/Cartels are going to be gouging the Global Markets to the glee of their financiers, the members and elements of the City of London Banks/DAVOS.
All the costs to be born by the Consumers (inflation).
Add to that the counter attack vs President Trump’s Economic Strategy in the wake of his loss int he Supreme Court with respect to tariffs … US Federal Courts are already supporting the demands for REFUNDS.
gas pumps already raise price .50
At the 10 gas stations I see on the way to the gym in Allen TX, it’s now UP $1.00/Gal for gas and diesel.
On the 1st day of operation Epic Fury … it was 60 cents/gallon …. has climbed up to $1.00.
Trump officials broker massive U.S.-Venezuela gold deal
The gold deal requires state-owned company Minerven to furnish 650 to 1,000 kilos of Gold Dore bars to the commodities trader Trafigura, according to one of the sources.
The contract calls for 98% final gold content, the source said.Trafigura will shepherd the gold to U.S. refineries under a separate arrangement with the U.S. government, that source said.U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who arrived in Venezuela Wednesday to discuss oil and mineral opportunities, helped shepherd the gold contract.

Iran is a war proxy like Ukraine.
Good post but just one Note: 2-DAYS ago there was a great video discussing President Trump’s strategy v/v the Financial Masters of the World (the City Banks of London).
The “BRITISH and Royal Family” have ZERO control over the banks in London. The video explained that term “City of London Banks” defines a Cartel of International Owners and in fact that Cartel is looking for a new home, with the UK nation sinking into the abyss. The video equated The City of London Banks to being either the same as or an additional Cartel similar to the DAVOS Conclave.
Folks need to look at the 2-entities; The City of London Bank and DAVOS in terms of being an International Cartel entity that literally controls their Client National Banks … and have no fixed national line of control.
It is the central CARTEL being attacked by President Trump’s strategy by putting a strangle hold on their client national central Banks.
It is spelled ROTHSCHILD.
They are just 1 of several among equally large members and entities that have climbed into existence TODAY.
That family is not the dominant member they once were 100’s of years ago.
Unfortunately, it isn’t a proxy war. It’s a war against a group of apocalyptic radicals who gained power 47 years ago. It soon became apparent to anyone who was looking just who and what these people were. But, until now, the world never did anything about it. Almost a whole generation has ever known what “Iran” used to be.
Proxy was a bad choice of words.
The underwriters of the Iranian Regime and the benefactor China Inc. are the ones stepping up economic pressure in reaction to one of their major agents of chaos Iran and National central Bank Members China Inc. being removed from the board.
The magic sauce, so far, seems to be what ever is contained within the Abraham Accords which is cleaving the very fabric of BRICS as well as threatening the very fabric of control exerted by the City bank of London-DAVOS folks.
I believe synch understands and even agrees with your point but synch is also pointing out the Strategic Impact of the on-going operation.
A most fascinating article by Globalist Shill Reuters.
For the past few months the EU Alliance of the Willing (UK, France and Germany) we touting their abilities and might vs the US and looking to expand to face their Boogeyman (Russia).
For what it’s worth … between the UK, France, Italy and Belgium-Holland do actually have effective naval assets to deploy .. despite the BS in the Globalist media and pundits that show up here citing DEI recruiting.
Now it seems the Globalist Media, using “unnamed” sources, is saying the naval assets of the EU Alliance of the Willing sucks if its not being used vs the Russians … go figure.

Europe has attacked Russia several times in the 19th Century, Napoleon X 2 IIRC. And Germany attacked Russia (USSR) in WWII. Japan has had border wars with Russia too. Everyone wants those natural resources so abundant in Russia.
AG Paxton will stay in the race for Texas Senator, no matter if President Trump endorses the man who has repeatedly stabbed him and this country in the back.
Here will be his opponent, a more reprehensible individual or is hard to imagine.

PSA….
another recall, parents and grandparents, this one is for you:
https://wgntv.com/news/recalls/thousands-of-baby-monitors-recalled-over-sparking-fire-hazard/
“The unit, which lets parents see and hear the baby, can overheat or spark while charging, which poses a fire risk, the commission said. The recall is based on 11 reports of incidents involving the units. No injuries were reported.
The monitors, which were made by Hisense Ltd. and manufactured in China, were sold online at Amazon, Walmart and babylist.com from January 2023 through December 2025, the USCPSC said.”
And..
“Hisense will replace the display unit for free, the USCPSC said. You can contact Hisense at 833.689.2652 weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, by email at [email protected], or visit recallsecure.com or babysensemonitors.com and click “Product Recalls” at the top of the page.”
Why would I want another one???
This is one agency I am in favor of, given the poorly made products we are sold, from overseas…
By now, of course, I would already know if my unit was “sparking.” But it is appropriate to be cautious and pro-active.
Our ‘beloved’ media/s

Sri Lanka is 1,100 miles away from Diego Garcia. At a speed of 35 knots, the IRIS Dena could have reached it 31 hours.
One of Iran’s newest warships, it was armed with heavy guns, surface-to-air missiles, anti-ship missiles and torpedoes. It carried one helicopter.
There was NO WAY IN HELL the US Navy was going to simply allow an Iranian frigate to waltz around the Indian Ocean.
The major threat from Iranian Frigates and Corvets are both …. SUPER SONIC surface to surface missiles as well as the major modifications made to those vessels to convert them into DRONE CARRIERS by replacing the helicopter facilities with DRONE support systems.
The range for SSM’s and Drones carried is measured in the 100’s of miles.
DOJ, Bidens Auto-pen , no problem
The SAVE act should be an easy no-brainer for the GOP, but they are stubbornly pushing back and stalling. Why? The SAVE act is the equivalent of filing your fingernails in terms of vote integrity. Many states already require voter ID to vote and the ones that don’t today simply will not comply with the law or find workarounds.
Voter ID is an important start, but it’s not the driver in 20+M illegal ballots being counted every year. This didn’t just start in 2020, it’s been going on for many years in most blue states and some red states. Most deep-blue states aren’t deep-blue at all. They are purple at best, but the massive amount of illegal ballots make elections look like landslides.
Everyone knows exactly how the lion’s share of illegal votes get submitted, yet nothing on corrupt voters rolls, nothing on endless early and late voting, nothing on unlimited mail-in voting, ballot drop-boxes, electronic machines flipping or discarding votes, ballots getting robo-run through machines, etc. The only real progress that has occurred has happened because of private groups using their money to fight and win in isolated examples. The DOJ hasn’t touched this, the FBI hasn’t touched this, and the GOP won’t even do voter ID.
Trump is the only person that will ever “outvote” the fraud. No other person will ever do this. I have no idea why this is such a seemingly side issue. It’s without a doubt the single most important issue. Everything Trump has been working so aggressively on goes away almost immediately if our elections don’t get back to being mostly honest and fair. Do we have to keep walking into the same electric fence over and over? Even the dumbest barnyard animals know the electric fence hurts and they stay away from it. Are we that dumb or is it a lost cause?
Interesting development ❗️
The DOJ under dhillion has been going from state to state suing for the rolls…..i dont know if this is just trying to look like they are doing something to run out the clock. They all play games.
Assume it’s games until they actually fix something. Up until now, they haven’t fixed one single thing….bupkis.
They grin-f’d Trump for 4 years in his first term and got away with it. I simply don’t trust any of them.
And this disgraceful, loathsome individual is in Congress and We The MAGA People are paying his salary!!!
NBC Nooze touting an “EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW” with the Iranian Foreign minister:
“We are waiting for the Americans to invade!”
“That was absolutely chilling!” says the 30-something female reporter with GREAT CONCERN in her voice!
“And what will happen if the Russians and the Chinese join Iran?!”
“And reports say that long-range Iranian missiles could not exist until 2035 at the earliest!” says the same reporter, now in a betrayed voice!
Again, why would anyone believe anything from a known liar * like the “Iranian Foreign Minister.”
*e.g. The ubiquitous “Girls’ School” being blown up by American bombs.
Well, if it was a girls school why would the Iranians care. Aren’t females the inferior class?
NOTE: It doesn’t matter if Iran could have Long Range Missiles in 2026, 2035 or 2055.
The idiots in this interview actually EXPOSED and ADMITTED that Iran was pursuing LONG RANGE MISSILES to deliver their nuclear weapons … period … i.e. one of the primary reasons listed by President Trump’s Team in ALL the interviews to date justifying the Operation Epic Fury.
Precisely! The idiots would have us wait until…when? Until they have several hundred?
Until they prove that they have one by launching it at us?!
The inability to think long-term will eventually ruin those with that inability!
what has the GOP ever done to help PT …
but they sure suck up when they need him……vipers all of em
Noem replaced with Mark Mullins.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kristi-noem-ousted-from-homeland-security-post-amid-recent-turmoil
lolli………that is a huge mistake……………..
Yes, it seems so to me, as well.
She was too effective, I guess.
Funny, Bonde and Patel are still in position.
This is very disappointing. Not up to par with everything going on, but she seemed to be one of the hardest, most efficient people he had. is there a law that says you can’t do your job well? Seems that way if you look at Bondi and Patel.
This and the cornyn games has me a little peeved.
Seems we are doing a Save the Rino Act to get the Save Act, which, imo, is messed up.
Won;t pulling him out of congress effect the balance of power in the house??
This is Bull Shit. Bondi and Patel remain. What the hell was President Trump thinking?
I don’t know…another demand from the wonderful GOPE? wiles must not like Noem.
Ugh.
Basically with the Noem firing, Trump is all about the optics. He wasn’t satisfied with how she handled the wolves and since everything reflects on him, he felt she had to go.
J
Should have done Bondi first…
I thought she was doing an incredible job.
To be clear, she wasn’t fired. She is moving into a new role.
Did she mention the DOW?
Noem out 3/31/26 Markwayne Mullins at DHS.
I thought Noem was doing an excellent job. I’m not impressed with Markwayne Mullins. I am suspicious of his Stock trades, a la Nancy Pelosi.
regarding the removal of Sec. Kristi Noem from head of DHS, and her new assignment as the United States’ Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas, before people emotionally react yeah or nay –
I was listening to this Dept. of War you tube video earlier today, titled ‘Secretary of War Pete Hegseth speaks at the Americas Counter Cartel Conference, which was attended by the military and/or interior ministers of the nations of central and south America,
believe that Secretary Noem is the perfect person for this new position;
Having seen and done the things that needed to be done, and learned a lot of (assumedly) confidential information that has come to her attention, knowledge, while being head of the Dept. of Homeland Security, this would be the correct next step in removing the disease of cartels in this hemisphere so that those who came to the US to look for a better life will want to return to their home nations to create better lives in their home countries.
It begins about the 26 minute mark, after the initial introductory remarks, Sec. Hegseth speaks and then the attendees from each of the nations give their statements, and it is just wonderful to see how President Trump is rewriting the focus and intent of these nations.
“….reports surfaced Thursday that Trump is “furious” with Noem over her performance in bicameral Judiciary Committee hearings this week, particularly over a contract for an advertisement that Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., and others grilled her on.
Trump reportedly took issue with her suggesting to Kennedy that he approved a taxpayer-funded ad subcontracted to a firm connected with her inner circle, according to National Review, which also reported that Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., is being considered a top candidate for her replacement.” Fox News
President Trump continues making some bad decisions on personnel. Noem took a lot of heat because she stood up to the DS and those pushing back against her department’s tough actions. She was foolish to conduct her affairs as she has, but that’s not why Trump fired her. Now he nominates a lame Senator.
Not happy with this.
What I don’t like is the optic that you cannot rely on Trump to back up his employees when the going gets tough.
Yet Bondi has been in the sam position numerous times.
Virginia voters and local officials are expressing outrage after a Virginia mother was allegedly murdered by an illegal alien who had repeatedly been released despite warnings from ICE. Critics say Democrat leaders ignored federal concerns and allowed a repeat offender to remain on the streets, fueling anger over the consequences of local immigration and criminal justice policies.

RFK Jr. puts Dunkin’ on notice; Massachusetts governor says ‘come and take it’
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said Dunkin’ and other companies will need to prove that their ingredients are safe, prompting Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) on Wednesday to reply back, “Come and take it.”
Kennedy, while at a rally at Brazos Hall last week in Austin, Texas, said, “We’re going to ask Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks, ‘Show us the safety data that show that it’s OK for a teenage girl to drink an iced coffee with 115 grams of sugar in it.’”
He added, as the audience applauded, “I don’t think they’re going to be able to do it.
“The reforms aim to ensure American foods follow the highest safety and nutritional standards globally,” MAHA Action, Kennedy’s nonprofit health advocacy group, said in a statement explaining Kennedy’s announcement.
Healey responded to Kennedy’s remark about the Canton, Mass.-based chain in a post on the social platform X. She shared an image of a flag resembling the 1835 “Come and Take It” flag first used at the start of the Texas Revolution.
Instead of a cannon, however, Healey’s flag replaces the cannon with a silhouetted Dunkin’ cup.

Massachusetts Governor responds to RFK Jr. calling out Dunkin Donuts?
We all know that, if a DEM/Communist were involved in checking ingredients, our opponents would be greatly in favor of it!
