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.
Marco Rubio unanimously confirmed by Senate to be Secretary of State. That is great to see. I have no idea whether or not Rubio will be good at the job, but it’s a promising sign that the Senate can unanimously support a Trump decision. At this point, Never Trumpers are ridiculous. Oppose a Trump decision on the merits, not because Trump proposed it.
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.
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.
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.
This moron is in charge of the Department of Homeland Security. Any senator who voted for Mayorkas, can’t possibly object to Kristi Noem as the head of DHS.
His comments about the drone sightings in New Jersey and other areas are so disrespectful. He thinks we are idiots or that we should shut up and stop worrying.
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.
Time Magazine chose Donald Trump as the 2024 Person of the Year. Time explains that they choose the most consequential person, not their favorite person. For people who aren’t a fan of Donald Trump, note that Hitler and Putin have also been featured.
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.
College Fix: Race-based programs at Ohio law schools
Five public law schools in Ohio are ending their scholarships and programs based on race following a conservative think tank’s investigation.
The Buckeye Institute, based in Columbus, Ohio, launched the investigation this year into five law schools at Ohio State University, Cleveland State University, University of Akron, University of Cincinnati, and University of Toledo.
It’s great that the Buckeye Institute got law schools to drop racist programs, but why did those programs even exist? Ohio has a Department of Higher Education intended to advise the governor and General Assembly on higher education issues. What have they been doing?
Ohio has a Republican governor with a General Assembly that looks like this:
If Ohio can’t address divisive progressive policies and eliminate DEI in state universities, then what are Republicans even good for?
