Trump means what he says.

January 21, 2025 / / 0 Comments

Biden had the record for most executive orders signed on the first day of a presidential term with 9 orders.  Prior to Biden, going back 40 years, the average is a half-order on the first day.  Trump said that he would have close to a hundred.  He was busy yesterday, but I haven’t seen a full count yet.

A popular lie about Trump has been that he made campaign promises that he never intended to keep.  The first term showed that he did all he could to fulfill his promises, but was opposed by all of the Democrats and half of the Republicans.  That won’t happen this term.  The opposition Republicans are gone and the Democrats are currently in the minority.  This will be an interesting four years.

Trump is a boss.

I appreciate a person who acts deliberately, and isn’t just acting because that’s how it’s always been done.  Trump’s decision to sign the first set of Executive Actions in a public forum, is very well done.  Since the Biden/Trump debate, it’s been generally recognized that President Biden is cognitively impaired.

Jimmy Carter passed away at a hundred years old.

Jimmy Carter just passed away at 100 years old. 

I was sixteen when Jimmy Carter was elected, so wasn’t paying much attention.  Carter got ridiculed for an incident where a rabbit harassed his fishing boat.  That was a dumb story, but journalists don’t seem to be very smart.

Jimmy Carter was weak tea.  He had a good resume, but was too idealistic to be effective.  He grew up pretty poor, attended the Naval Academy and was trained on nuclear reactors.  Carter was a good Christian and a good family man.

Biden is getting ready to screw me over.

Congress dragged me back in the game, so now I want to win.

Social Security is a game.  It’s not like roulette, where the risk corresponds to the reward.  It’s not much like blackjack where there is a clear strategy to narrow the odds.  Social Security is more like that Fun Fair “Mystery Fishing” game where every player gets a prize, but there are better prizes and worser prizes.

Do we even have a president right now?

WSJ: Biden isn’t in the game.

WSJ: Biden isn’t in the game.

Shouldn’t that headline be in the present tense?  Nancy Pelosi coerced Biden into dropping out of the 2024 presidential election after the debate with Trump showed that Biden was too mentally feeble to continue with the campaign.  If Biden is too frail to run for president, he is too frail to be president.  We haven’t had a function president since July.

Perhaps the WSJ is suggesting that since the election, Trump has been in charge.  Everyone acts as if he is.   While Trump was in Paris, meeting global leaders, Biden was sleeping through meetings in Africa.

I don’t want to hear another thing about the January 6th self-guided tour of the Capital building being a threat to democracy.  The corporate media and Democrat handlers hid the fact that Biden was running out of juice so they could cling to power.

Senior advisers were often put into roles that some administration officials and lawmakers thought Biden should occupy, with people such as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, senior counselor Steve Ricchetti and National Economic Council head Lael Brainard and her predecessor frequently in the position of being go-betweens for the president.

Read the WSJ article if you are interested.  Spoiler Alert:  These three people have effectively been running the country since Biden was elected.

More than two-thirds of NATO countries have paid their dues.

AP NATO Defense Spending

A record 23 of NATO’s 32 member nations are hitting the Western military alliance’s defense spending target this year, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Monday, as Russia’s war in Ukraine has raised the threat of expanding conflict in Europe.

Trump doesn’t get enough credit for calling bullshit on NATO.  In 2016, Trump made it clear that if member countries didn’t spend 2% of GDP for defense, the US may not be as supportive.  The corporate media, progressives and anti-Trumpers cried about his incivility and lack of decorum.

In 2017, when Trump took office, only 4 countries were fully paid up.

Does anyone care about drone swarms over New Jersey?

Mysterious drones over New Jersey

More than three weeks after dozens of mysterious drones began popping up in the New Jersey night sky, the public has still been offered no clear insight on what the phenomenon could be.

This is a huge story that reveals that corporate media and the federal government have failed.  Finding the whole story is difficult, so I’ll pull from a few reports.
