First, I’d like you to see this clip from Bill Buckley’s Firing Line from before Ronald Reagan took the oath of office for his first term.
And so what Donald Trump is doing is so radical?
I have said it often enough here, to the point where it’s axiomatic to long time readers, that the worst thing you can do to a big government Republican or a big government Democrat is to actually solve a problem because once you do that you eliminate the possibility of them demagogging the situation.
I submit to you that the difference and why the left is going absolutely ape over all of this, is because Donald Trump is actually doing these things not just talking about them.
Reagan was a great president, and unarguably so. Like it or not, establishment critters, what Donald Trump is doing is the embodiment of Reagan’s vision.
This parallel also explains very nicely why Donald Trump remains as popular as he is despite the worst efforts of the left and the never -Trumper GOP establishment, who by the way didn’t like Reagan either.
* We figured something was wrong when Biden’s pardons were signed with black ink, instead of the usual red crayon.

*If Elon Musk bought Planned Parenthood, would leftists start burning abortion clinics?

* This creature is named Adam Lansky. He’s facing 20 years in prison for fire bombing and shooting up a Tesla dealership, in Or
egon.
I’m sure he’s going to be very popular in prison. I’d like to think that the dosage of reality that he’s about to receive will change things around for him. But I tend to doubt it. And you know, the concern now is that without a department of education at the federal level who’s going to teach you that that’s a woman?
This is Judge Boasberg, who Blocked the deportation of Tren de Aragua gang members.
He never disclosed the fact that his daughter works for a 501c3 called “Partners For Justice” that gives criminal illegal aliens and gang members legal advice!
Thats right . The judges daughter gets paid, with your tax dollars, to protect foreign murderers, rapists and gang members from being deported !!!!
This goes far beyond conflict of interest.
# Rachel Maddow is Geraldo Rivera with a better mustache.
# Consider the idea that the truth is always controversial.
# Have you ever noticed that the countries that have billionaires, tend not to have starving people?
# Isn’t it interesting how quickly the left moved from idolizing and indeed mandating electric cars to setting them on fire? Maybe it wasn’t about saving the planet?
# So, Joe Biden flying plane loads of illegals into the United States is legal, but Donald Trump flying them back out again is illegal?
# China is building more coal fired power plants than we’re taking offline here in the ‘States. Appearances suggest that they’re not too tremendously concerned about man-made climate change then on the other hand, they already have a communist government.

And One in the chamber:
Chicago’s City council passed a resolution saying that there should be a ceasefire in the middle east. It’s nice of them to be concerned, but perhaps it would be a good idea for them to have a ceasefire in Chicago, first?
It’s interesting how Chuckles Schumer doesn’t seem to be defending himself against the spate of what I will call “liberal cannibalism”, following his vote for the continuing resolution the other day.Here’s a guy who’s watched his party ripping up their own over the slightest divergence from the far left mantra for years, and has occasionally even joined in. You’ve got to wonder what’s going through his mind the last few days, since he is now the target.
I consider it to be a measure of how detached from reality the Democrat party is these days, that Chuckles the Clown Schumer comes off comparatively as the sane one.Maybe this has something to do with the way Schumer voted?
Three months into his second term, President Trump hit the highest approval rating he’s ever had as commander-in-chief — while more Americans say the country is on the right track than at any point since 2004, a new poll found.
Let’s remember that there was an adjustment period after Reagan went into office, as well. The same pattern is developing here, and therefore confidence is going to be growing, and these numbers are going to be getting even better.Meanwhile it turns out the Democrats aren’t faring quite so well.
On the 5th anniversary of “just 15 days to slow the spread”, it’s past time, and well worth looking at what’s been happening since.
There’s a lot of people tossing the word Nazi around without really understanding it. I’ve written here in the past about how everything the left doesn’t like is Hitler.
But consider that the people that are tossing that epiphate around, were not so long ago, advocating forced medical procedures, mass censorship, discrimination, segregation, job termination, healthcare denial, making people show their papers everywhere, and even putting them in camps.
And now they are burning down businesses of their political opponents just like in 1930s Germany and posting obvious propaganda everywhere depicting them as vile creatures or caricatures, which was done against the Jews. Interestingly, often is not the same people are protesting against jews. Look closely at Columbia University as a prime example.
Every socialist in history from Marx, to Saul Alinsky to Joe Gobles to Joseph Stalin, to Fidel Castro, to Mao, to Hitler… Right down the line has been using the same tactics for time immemorium that the left is using today; Accuse your opposition of what you’re doing.
Thing is, based on the most recent election it would appear that the American people are seeing through this ruse… And to them it looks something like the graphic below:
With that all boils down to is this. The worst thing you can possibly do to a socialist is to actually solve the problem. Because once you actually solve a problem they lose their ability to demagogue it.
Does the Democrat party have a future? The party does seem bent on self-destructing.
Let’s bring Victor Davis Hansen in, to start this discussion.
Certainly, they have been having their problems. Last I was looking at the polls.. which was probably a week ago …approval rating of the Democratic party Nationwide is a little over 31%. The way things have been going lately, it’s actually probably lower than that now. Every time I think they can’t go any lower in approval, they apparently take it as a challenge.
Meanwhile of course, Trump’s approval ratings are in the middle of ’70s, in particular when you break it down issue by issue.
When you consider that Giggles McKneepads only got 45% of the popular vote last November (always assuming no vote for of course) it becomes clearer that large swaths of Democrats who voted for Harris are beginning to realize that Trump at the helm wasn’t such a bad idea, after all.
That 31%? They are manifestly experiencing a great deal of butthurt. The American people when given the choice, chose the guy that the left have been spending the last 8 years labeling as Hitler, deciding that he was the better deal than the hastily installed Harris and the Democrats. That’s got to hurt.
From the look of the Democrats in Congress at the State of the Union the other night, and the usual leftist outlets, they’re still trying to figure out if the reason they lost was because they weren’t screaming “sig heil”loud enough.
Keep in mind also that they lost despite the Harris campaign spending pretty much double what Donald Trump’s campaigns spent, leading me to observe immediately following the election last November that the era of big money influencing elections was pretty much over. In any event, with the department of government efficiency on the case, their money laundering has come to an end, anyway.
Let’s face it, the Democrats have two major problems right now.
They first are not dealing in issues that the American voter actually cares about. These issues do not include DEI, sending billions of tax dollars to people that hate us, allowing an unmitigated invasion, and allowing women’s sports to become a fallback for subpar male athletes, to name but a few bits of done since they’ve been trying to push down our throats.
Trump is doing as well as he is because he is actually responding to the will of the people. You know, the voters. Citizens.
People, watch on your gasoline stations and you’ll notice that the prices for fuel are already dropping. I can tell you personal experience that diesel prices are also dropping …which means prices for everything else like food and clothing etc is also going to come down. Remember, kids…diesel moves everything you have.
The other problem that the Democrats have is one that’s been building for a couple of decades now. It is an issue of credibility. If it’s possible for a credibility rating to be Sub-Zero, the Democrats have managed it.
Consider the number of things that they have lied openly about. The entire January 6th scenario. Russia, russia, Russia. If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. Bill Clinton reneging on his promise to cut taxes before the echo from his taking the oath of office died.
Add to that the thinly veiled support of the Democrat party for scams like BLM, man-made climate change, the electric vehicle mandate,
To those, Let’s add the criminal misappropriation of funds from the tax coffers, the scope of which we’re just starting to scratch the surface on, while they scream bloody murder over it.
Even if, by some miracle, the Democrats start talking about issues but the American people are actually concerned with, with the credibility they have for at least the immediate future and probably longer, nobody’s going to believe them.
Rather they will take the recent history of the Democrat party into account and assume, probably correctly, that they are simply mouthing what the public wants to hear so they can get their power back.
And finally, we have the woke ultra left which has been driving the party off the cliff for the last several years. It’s not a good look for a party desperately trying to regain the attention and respect of the American people.
Think about it, now…If the Democratic party as a whole goes to the center as pulling data suggests so many rank and file Democrats would like to see, we’re going to see the party splintering at the very least, and a number of the party simply giving up on it all together and becoming Trumpist Republicans. And as I’ve already pointed out that’s already happening.
I noticed Bill Maher the other night, wondering openly if we will ever see another Democrat president. He seems to doubt it. I consider it to be an open question, but suggest that the two issues I’ve mentioned here are prohibitive.
Resolving a problem requires proper problem identification. The word on the wire being that the Democrats are considering running Rahm Emmanuel in four years tells me that they still haven’t gotten the handle on what their actual problems are. Trust me.. a fourth term for Barack Hussain Obama none of us need…. And the voters definitely understand that. Who are the other frontrunners? Steve Smith? Harris version 2.0? Bernie Sanders? Tampon Tim?
The problems that beset the Democrat party right now self-inflicted as they are, have been a long time building.
My read is that in the short term they’re not going to find any significant voter traction …being essentially leaderless and unwilling to address their problems properly leaves the question of any long term future in serious doubt.
# I gather that Ireland as placed a 125% tariff all US goods until we agree to take Rosie O’Donnell back.
# Did you know that during the Biden administration there were more restrictions on oil production which applied to Alaska than there were that applied to Iran?
#
# In round numbers, Kamala Harris got 45% of the vote. And yet the approval numbers that Donald Trump is getting currently end up being around 70 to 75% depending on the specific issue. Which means that a goodly amount of those approval numbers are coming from people who voted for Harris…. And the Democrats and particularly establishment Republicans, still aren’t getting the message.
# You doubtless will remember Joe Biden firing all those oil pipeline workers on his day one. I’m pretty sure you’ll also remember the large number of people that got fired by Joe Biden for not taking the experimental “vaccine”. Even on the basis of those two memories alone, there isn’t a person in the country who should be upset about federal employees getting canned for not doing their jobs.
Isn’t it curious how some Canadians are quick to boycott American products over the recent 25% tariffs, yet remain silent about Chinese goods, even though China has imposed similar tariffs on Canada?
This selective outrage seems less about standing on principle and more about jumping on the trendy bandwagon of America-bashing. It’s a classic case of virtue signaling—choosing pettiness over consistency.
If the issue were truly about opposing unfair tariffs, wouldn’t the protests target all countries imposing them, not just the fashionable choice?
96-year-old Woman Is Forced To Sell Her House To Brokers. Then Elon Musk Shows Up And Does The Unthinkable
A 96-year-old woman, facing financial difficulties, is forced to sell her house to real estate agents. She had lived in this house for many years, but with age and financial problems, she has no choice but to sell it at a price far below its value. Her memories and personal history, rooted in the walls of this house, are about to be erased.
However, at that moment, an unexpected event occurs. Elon Musk, the famous entrepreneur, makes a surprising appearance. Intrigued by the situation of this woman, he decides to take matters into his own hands. Not only does he buy the house, but he goes far beyond expectations. He sets up a foundation or program to help seniors keep their homes or receive financial assistance to preserve their homes. Thanks to his wealth and means, Musk offers the woman a chance to stay in her home and improve her situation.
Places which have few billionaires have lots of starvation. Places with lots of billionaires have no starvation. QED.
# One of the seven deadly sins was .envy. These days they call it “social justice”.
# You might want to look into the link between congressman Al Green, the one who shot his mouth off during the State of the Union address, and Lucinda Daniels. Where did that $875,000 go, Al?
#
# The very same people who believe to this day the Russian collusion hoax, are the same ones who are insisting on absolute proof that Elon Musk and his team are actually finding massive fraud and waste.
# So, Musk gets millions of whack job leftists to spend literally billions of dollars in deference to their green religion, and then makes them regret it. And the left believes that Musk isn’t smart?
# The far left is always saying ” tax the rich”… Interesting how they lean on that so heavily and not “help the poor”.
# The hysterical reaction to Donald Trump and then later on to Elon Musk and DOGE, is firmly rooted in the fear of the electorate as they increasingly become aware of how badly they’ve been taken.
# The left keeps pointing to the slight down turn in the stock market. First of all it’s back up again. Secondly if we have a downturn economically because of cutting wasteful government spending, I submit that the economic numbers that were presented for quite some time weren’t real to begin with.
# Eith the Eastern Time zone shifting last weekend, there’s a lot of speculation online that Stonehenge was used as a timepiece. It does seem an interesting conclusion, but if that’s the case it would explain why they didn’t develop the wrist watch until some 1800 years later. The early experiments must have been awfully heavy to wear on one’s wrist.
#No we’re not talking about the singer.
