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.

Just the other day someone here had nothing but praise for Maria Bartiromos. Had to be reminded she is a member of the (CFR) turd bowl… council on foreign relations if your wondering.
She has moments of clarity and she can be pleasant but never forget she too has an agenda and it’s not MAGA or America First. Spit
Yep… DOJ will go after a few of the little people in States like Georgia, but the big wig politicians that actually pulled the steal will never be arrested…
Looks a lot like Minnesota protests against ICE agents!
Maybe the same Elite funding sources?
Leftist Democrats are willfully encouraging “Total Warfare” on political foes via their inflammatory rhetoric which engenders violence by the radical extremists they incite. Now, we hear that such lawlessness is becoming “normalized” behavior within their party’s ranks, with targeted political murder and attempts at presidential assassination appearing to be clear manifestations of their intent.
Do they think that their evil strategy will not be embraced and implemented by rogue extremists who oppose them? Abhorrent acts of politically inspired barbarism are highly unlikely to be one directional.
It has been and continues to be quite possible that they’ll remain unidirectional. The ground is far more fertile and densely populated by wackos on the left…
Just ask the ghost of Robespierre about how that all works out. 🤡 For example.
“Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.” Tale as old as time.
As we rededicate our nation to God on this day of the Lord, we need to remember that there is an evil darkness creeping across the landscape, intent on turning our nation away from God. We MUST remain vigilant and on point to stop it by all means at our disposal, for it is truly a battle of good versus evil.
Remember too situational awareness is an imperative in these times.
Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, an Iraqi national, has been arrested and brought to New York to face federal terrorism charges. Al-Saadi allegedly served as a coordinator for Ashab al-Yamin, an Iran-backed group, orchestrating nearly 20 attacks across Europe. He also allegedly directed plots specifically targeting U.S. synagogues and Jewish institutions. The FBI moved to arrest him after determining that his operations were being expanded to American soil.
Islam saved the mid east countries so well that they all had to “migrate”.
You should check out David Wood, Godlogic Apologetics, Inspiring Philosophy etc. The dawah bros are destroying themselves. The narrative that the religion of hate and rape is “the fastest growing religion” is exactly that, a narrative. Yes, muslim women tend to have more children. Thats what the are counting as “fastest growing.”
Another fun fact upwards of 60% of “converts” to islam revert in under two years.
What feckless Republicans do best is surrender, never any fight!
NO QUEENS
The Thune/Reid Parliamentarian for the Thune/Schumer Death Cult Congress.
I would remind everyone that the VP can override her edict – and considering that the matter is a purely budgetary one, it definitely SHOULD be.
https://uslawexplained.com/senate_parliamentarian
She pulls these stunts all the time. I blame the Republicans because they are in control of both houses at the moment.
I see no mention of a parliamentarian in the Constitution.
Nor of the filibuster!
Gruesome admitting that Dims have a “break the glass” option to prevent the possibility of two GOP candidates being on the November ballot for governor.
When asked about the possibility of ending up with two Republican candidates for governor and no Democrats, Gavin Newsom responded:
“We all have agencies. We can shape the future… I don’t anticipate this need to be the case, but there is a ‘break the glass scenario.’ There’s many people that have a deep understanding of what it would look like if Democrats were locked out, and we’re going to do everything to make sure that doesn’t happen. I’ll leave it there.”
It would be nice if he gave a hint about what lengths he intends to go to in order to ensure a Democrat wins.
The Dim party should be absolutely destroyed and the ground upon which they stand salted so that their kind can never be raised again (to borrow a phrase from them).
So he admits election rigging, blackmail, bribary and political assassinations are on the table.
sooo…here we are after 53 months……hopefully is not just-empty talks of AG Blanche……
But no breaking the glass if it’s 2 Dems???
Of course not 🤣
Of course not – that’s why the brought about the so called “jungle primaries” – they just have a severe distaste for getting their arses kicked in the jungle.
The Democommunists need to be declared “rabid” and the proper protocols need to be followed for that condition.
The hard core Dems are holding off on their mail in ballots until some numbers become clear.
If a Dem is third behind the two R’s, they will surge their vote for that 3rd candidate to get him/her into 2nd place.
From that point, the run-off is just a formality.
The ones with the boxes of empty ballots? 😉
It’s going to be stunningly beautiful.
The thing leaked like a seive, looked bad AND smelled bad. Now, it’s going to look like the nation is caring for it again.
I thought that the National Park Service was tasked with tending most of the public properties in DC. Why was this not routinely and correctly maintained?
Look: it’s basically a great big shallow swimming pool. It ain’t hard to keep it clean and in good shape. Just don’t ignore it.
Some Democommunist “judge’ will rule that the pool needs to be returned to sheetwhole status.
Probably spending their budget on woke BS instead of maintenance.
It appears that Canadian citizens are starting to get fed up with all the middle eastern influences in their country. Obscene yes – much like the unaltered one is in a different way.

So, in other words, Massie is a Democrat.
That’s a lot of illegals…but the sad fact remains that they came from around the world, including China, Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere.
ASTOUNDING NUMBERS – ” 7,142,529 as of 2024 ” Nicaragua Population

571,402 in ILLEGAL ENTRY !
NICARAGUA ALONE !
At this point the FIRST thought that comes to mind when a so-called “hate crime” occurs, is that it is being done by the target or someone associated with the target – or by someone who will benefit from it by discrediting another group. Turns out true a majority of the time.
In April of 2023 a Cross was burned in front of a campaign sign for Black Mayoral Candidate Yemi Mobolade, with the word “N*GGER” sprayed on it.
The incident generated significant local media coverage with headlines framed as a racist threat from his white opponent.
Mobolade won the election.
7 Months later it was revealed to have been A BLACK SUPPORTER, and friend of Monolade’s that lit the cross and wrote the slur.
Derrick Bernard was sentenced to 3 years and 10 months.
Why doesn’t the SPLC write about this?

About the recent uproar over Kash’s snorkel swim…
Doesn’t change my view that he isn’t as effective as he needs to be – or that I dislike the practice – but it does bring a different tone to the event.
Honorable Kash Patel should practice snorkeling in the Strait Hormuz..Harrison….
I would rather he goes snorkeling in the great swamp of fraud, abuse, and democratic party treason.
I had no idea that anyone could take any sort of underwater tour. It is an interesting idea. (Although, how safe would it be?)
An example of just how vile many Dim officials are…
That needs to be fixed.
Fake News’ version of Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom” rally
Britain’s hard right on the march as tens of thousands descend on London
When some 150,000 people descended on London in September for a rally organized by Tommy Robinson – an agitator who spreads anti-Muslim bigotry and has several criminal convictions – it felt like a watershed moment in British politics.
“Something in our country changed,” Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, said at the time. “This felt different.”
And so when at least tens of thousands gathered again in the British capital on Saturday for the latest “Unite the Kingdom” march, it felt less out of the ordinary. Views that would once not have been expressed in public are becoming commonplace. Marches organized by Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, are becoming a regular outlet for them.
“Millions have got to go,” said Pete, 64, from Derbyshire, in the English midlands. He was referring to unauthorized immigrants. “They shouldn’t be in this country,” he told CNN. “They’re claiming benefits. ‘Benefit Britain’ has got to end.”

“hard-right” = code for “normal”.
“Welcome to our world”.
have a grand evening Treepers……..
Live long & prosper.
Ah, thank you! It looks so peaceful!
Been there, done that – have both t-shirts…may God Bless all the children and fathers who have served this great nation.
There is something in my eye 🥲
Good one! 👍🙏😍
I could watch these all day, every day. Thank you so much for posting!
Over 2 miles long – much more than “50,000” or whatever other ridiculous number the propaganda artists of UK MSM said it was…
I greatly look forward to the day that another kingdom is fully united – God’s Kingdom. Today’s event on the mall in DC is definitely a good start.
Quite the contrast…
Sen Foghorn Leghorn, talking his good old boy siht again. Meaningless. Hey senator, how about talking about the lack of your side of the aisle’s ability to get a damn thing done. Blue slips, silent filibuster, no recesses, no Save America Act, but yes to Leader Thune.
Regardless of ones view of the Senator – the comparison is a very valid one that once again reveals a considerable amount regarding the truth of Dims, just as their vote against the Judicial Committees amendment to cause the reporting of purchases of guns by illegal aliens to DHS did.
This particular kind of voter fraud just boggles my mind in a way. Have a friend who works in a state level government election agency. They talk about how every voter registration is investigated for the home address contained on it using a computerized map system and if it isn’t a valid home address (house or apartment building), it is rejected out of hand. This applies to not just mailed in or filled-in at the office registrations, but to all motor-voter registrations (which I think should be banned) as well. In this day and age there is absolutely zero reason for ALL states to do the same.
One of the discussions/arguments have had with them is that the same type system should be used to verify that someone is a citizen – something that could easily be done with a simple computer connection to the SS administration – as could whether or not they are a living, breathing person.
Social Security would be a little harder, I personally know of many examples of illegals who have SS numbers.
Yes, some do (Autopen did a lot of that) – but think it would reduce 90% or more of the “dead”, “never alive”, and “non-citizen” ballots.
They should be charged with treason IMO…
There will be no accountability.
Only We the People can fix this! 🇺🇲
“Damn you, I told you raiding Mar a Lago was a trap!!!!!”
Or hindsight being 20/20…….did Trump know was going to happen and was like, sure come on in. And also what about DeSantis knowing about it. OK, he has his deep state issues, but maybe be too was, sure come and do it. No problem………

Howdy, all! I have been living my best life this weekend, with my fluff balls….came home with 4 blue ribbons! One from the older and 3 from the baby…
And catching up…from our recent way back machine, about 6-9 months ago, MAHA was going to look into the malfeasance, malpractice and negligence in the organ donation programs…
What happened to that?
Apparently, nothing has been done…and how it transpired, if TGP has the details correct….there are not words that would describe the anger I have, and sadness for the family. I have not researched the issue, but it makes me feel like there are “NGO’s” involved or the hospitals get government grant money….kind of like the money for ‘Rona diagnosis, intubations and ventilator use…?
What bothers me more, is the small amount that they are seeking…75K…to my way of thinking, that should be a multi-million dollar lawsuit.
The hospital was in a big rush and asked the wrong ‘family’ member for organ donation, who was not the legal next of kin. In this day and age? And it sounds like the patient was not an organ donor, so that means “hands off” for organ harvesting. People need to be losing licenses at the minimum, over this…
The comments after the article, speak to the lack of confidence and trust, that citizens have for our hospitals. Of course I had to read the article and totally ruin my weekend…My heart aches for the family members….
God Bless Americans!

Congrats on the fluffball ribbons. Need to remember that investigations by the bureaucracy take a long time – no news isn’t necessarily bad news at this point.
Speaking of “hands off” for organ harvesting – there are some details going around ’bout Massie’s waywardness…
Surprised they released details on the shooters, in light of it being very leftist Austin. Also serves as a reminder regarding situational awareness in blue zones.
Trump retruthed:
Exclusive — Greek Energy Minister: Trump’s ‘Trademark Move’ with Allies and Adversaries Alike Is Energy Diplomacy
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/05/17/exclusive-greek-energy-minister-trumps-trademark-move-with-allies-and-adversaries-alike-is-energy-diplomacy
Ouch!
Another negative endorsement for Massie…
The rapid effect of the recent SCOTUS decision…
Another FO moment…
Former Biden-era VA official John H. Windom—tasked with overseeing the massive Electronic Health Record Modernization project—has been federally indicted for concealing thousands in cash, casino chips, Louis Vuitton gift cards, and other lavish gifts from contractors.
While leading the effort, Windom helped award a $10 BILLION contract to Cerner (later bought by Oracle Health). He allegedly pushed the company on ‘diversity and inclusion,’ leading to a $1.7M DEI-related subcontract for his circle—while raking in personal perks from a ‘Power Group’ of favored vendors.
The result? A disastrously flawed system linked to over 4,000 cases of harm to veterans—including at least 4 deaths from scheduling errors, lost orders, and catastrophic failures. Rollout stalled after safety nightmares.
This is what happens when ethics take a backseat and ideology (DEI) mixes with billion-dollar contracts. Veterans deserved better. Accountability now.

AI agents hitting the big boys…time for them to learn to brick.
Ken Griffin went home on a Friday “fairly depressed” after watching AI agents at Citadel do work that used to take teams of PhDs in finance months to complete. Done in days.
His words: “These are not mid-tier white collar jobs. These are extraordinarily high skilled jobs being automated by agentic AI.”
This is the head of one of the most successful hedge funds in history saying the people he pays seven figures to analyze markets and structure deals are being replaced by software that works in hours instead of months. Not theoretically. In his own office. Right now.
The Coatue deck we covered earlier this week called agents “the biggest unlock” in AI. Griffin just confirmed it from the buy side. The shift from copilots to agents is not a future event. It is already happening at the highest levels of finance.
Griffin’s personal investment portfolio is valued at approximately $149 billion and focuses on high-liquidity, large-cap leaders, particularly in the technology sector. His top individual stock holdings include NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), which represents roughly 2.8% of the portfolio, followed by Micron Technology (MU) at 2.2%, Amazon.com (AMZN) at 1.4%, TSMC (TSM) at 1.1%, and Apple (AAPL) at 1.1%. Recent filings also highlight major stakes in Meta Platforms (META), Alphabet (GOOG/GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Tesla (TSLA), reflecting a strategic shift toward companies driving artificial intelligence and cloud computing infrastructure.
It seems to me that based on what he is saying, we should be buying the stocks that people like him that are involved with AI are buying. They will have a leg up on everyone else when it comes to valuing a business. But like everything else, AI won’t be foolproof as it depends on human input.
I remember a story I recently shared about Amazon’s use of it, without human involvement – wherein it decided to wipe out all the orders on the books for some harangued reason, costing Amazon a very sizable piece of change.
Like any tool, it can cause considerable damage if used incorrectly – and based on a recent study, can have very negative effects on the people who use it heavily (shared that one in the recent AI/Datacenter thread).
BTW, it goes beyond use of human input – many of the LLMs have been trained by scraping the internet, including from places like Wiki and Reddit. What possibly could go wrong? True – agents are different critters – but one has to wonder how they have been created (many by Claude – which itself is a collection of LLMs).
Road trip time…
Texans – remember early voting starts tomorrow!
Go Clarence, go!
What a very special day for his daughter.
Sidney Powell calls out Democrats who were caught pulling out hidden suitcases filled with ballots from under tables in Georgia during the 2020 election after they cleared out the building and illegally ran ballots all throughout the night until Biden claimed victory.
We have them on video, caught red-handed. The 2020 election was stolen. It’s time to prosecute these people.
Oh my gosh – they put AOC in a cage!! ;-p

Primary Elections May 19, 2026 ——— THIS TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
