The American government over the last 50 years has deteriorated so bad that it accepts incompetence presidents like Joe Biden as leaders for our nation . You can see he can’t function at nothing . When he’s speaking he struggling all over the place . Is this what Washington’s standards have become ? The rest of the agency’s , the FBI and special counsels are all corrupt to the bone . Trump is the only one that can be trusted , but they are all against him . The Democrats want total control of the people’s lives . By communist rule . Using the Climate Change story in vented by science. God controls the climate not mankind.
I DID NOT BOTHER WITH BI-BYE'S INANE, INSIPID, IGNORANT SPEECH. I WAS JUST HAPPY TO KNOW HE IS GONE AND HE IS CLOSE TO REALIZING HOW DISGUSTING A HUMAN HE IS. EVEN IN DEMENTIA, THERE ARE MOMENTS OF CLARITY.... HE WILL EXPERIENCE THOSE WHEN GOD CHOOSES TO REMIND HIM OF HIS LIFE OF HATRED AND ABUSE OF OTHERS.
The Democrats are fools having allowed Joe Biden as president and believe he was the savior of America and mankind. What they did prove is Kamala Harris wasn’t the one Americans wanted as President. They proved that Trump was Americans voters choice all the way around .
Joe Biden looks so stupid and talks so stupid and makes such stupid choices . It’s an embarrassment just to watch him say these things . How can he believe himself when he brags how great he’s been as president.
Joe Biden is by far the most incompetent president America has ever had . His last days in office he has squandered money on things that don’t help the American people . He’s just throwing mud at Trump anyway he can .
Saw this article in the news today, "GREGG JARRETT: Should prosecutors be prosecuted for their lawfare campaign against Trump?". I don't have enough technical legal knowledge to answer this question equivocally in the affirmative. What I do know is that they abused the law to such a degree that they should be removed from forever working in the legal community. This includes prosecutors and judges who did not put an immediate stop to these politicized attacks. I would further add that putting the "blame or punishment" only on the persecutors and judges is missing the mark. These people all report to someone or some "organization" with responsible oversight as to what they do and how they do it who share equally in the injustice and abuse of the law that has taken place. Some action (and I admit to not knowing exactly what) should apply to all of the above mentioned. Without that we will never have closure on this un-American and un-constitutional activity nor assure as best we can that it will never happen again.
I HAVE FAITH IN THE SKILLS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP TO DEAL WITH AND ACTUALLY FIX MANY OF THE HORRIBLE CRIMES THAT THE OBAMAS, BIDENS, AND HARRISES HAVE LOADED ONTO US CITIZENS. IN TWO MORE DAYS, THE BRIGHT LIGHT OF HONESTY AND TRUTH WILL BEGIN TO SHINE ON US. HIS FIRST DAY IN OFFICE WILL BE HISTORICAL AND MAGICAL. WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY GOD TO HAVE DONALD TRUMP IN OUR CORNER. I WISH HIM, HIS FAMILY AND HIS AMAZING CABINET AND STAFF THE VERY BEST OF GOD'S GREATEST BLESSINGS!
This comment does not relate to the news or the Edition but may be something that others are experiencing. I got a text message today from Speaker Johnson wanting my thoughts on DOGE, with a link for input. The link asks four yes/no questions that are inane (i.e., do you support a) DOGE, b) cutting gov. waste, c) auditing of fed. contracts, and d) onsite work of fed. employees). No sane person could answer no or unsure to any of these commonsense questions regardless of your political affiliation. The truth is everyone would like to see government spending cut, just not for their pet agenda, and in fact they want any cut to be added to their pet project. They do ask two essay questions but in truth I doubt they will ever be read unless you donate. Yes, this is a donation scam where if you don't donate the survey can't be sent. We pay taxes for these people to do their job, and they can't figure out what their job is without a survey? I have filled out republican mailed surveys that are equally stupid that probably never got read because there was no donation. I contend the only part Congress has to play with respect to DOGE (and it's an important part to be sure) is to follow DOGE's lead, and neither Musk nor Vivek have asked for nor need my input. Congress has always had the ability to do what DOGE is tasked with doing and failed. Now that want it to look like they're driving the show when at best they will be driven kicking and screaming into a support role. Donations to a worthy candidate's campaign are one thing, donations to an elected official to do their job for me are out of the question.
THE MESSAGE FROM SPEAKER JOHNSON SEEMS VERY STRANGE TO ME. I WONDER IF HE IS FEELING THE STINGING LACK OF RESPECT... MYOPINION IS THAT HE IS NOT DOING A GOOD ENOUGH JOB FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS TO MERIT KEEPING HIM IN THE POSITION.
I saw this article in the news this morning, "$2M California home spared from wildfires is destroyed by landslide", and I think it tells the true inside story about California real estate. My comment is not intended to minimize the tragedy of the fires, only to put it into a realistic context. The home in question (pictured clearly in the article split in two by a failed foundation caused by a mud slide) is a one bedroom one bath rental property with ocean view. Having some knowledge in the building trades I can tell you that even at todays inflated prices this building could be replaced (i.e., built to the same construction standards as shown in the picture) for less than $100,000. Every "home" is a building on a lot, with both the lot (size, location, desirability) and the building having a value. In this case (as in all cases related to this disaster) the lot's perceived (or market) value is close to $2 million according to the article and remains essentially unchanged and it's only the "house" (little more than a shack) that was lost and would need to be replaced. So, what really is the owner entitled to for relief? I submit that the enormous "cost" of this disaster is inflated by this very same reality times however many homes or properties have been destroyed. Has there been property loss, absolutely, but don't get carried away by the numbers you see floated in the news.
Regarding the so called confirmation hearings, never have I heard such a bunch of rude people. I was taught that is someone is talking you wait till they finish before you speak. These people ask a question and then don't give the person the opportunity to answer. And some of the questions were just plain dumb. I also wonder when these Democrates will ever stop harping on November 6th. The treatment of November 6 people was definitely unconstitutional. I hope President Trump pardons those who are innocent of any violent act, and I hope he arrest those who have treated these people so poorly.
I am looking forward to Americans finally running the country again. For far too long it has been run by democRATS who have had only one aim, and that is to make America a 3rd world nation. Let's get the show on the road and start doing business. I love the fact that there will no longer be weirdo's running our government. It's time for the grown-ups to be in charge again. Let us Make America Great Again.
Read this article tonight, "McConnell's 'conspicuous silence' rattles key Trump nominee: report" which raises a question about Trump's pick of Gabbard as director of national intelligence. While it tries to stress "qualifications" is completely ignores the dreadful job "National Intelligence" has done for the past decade at the very least. Starting with their contribution to politicized attacks against Trump while he was in office and continuing with support of Biden's disastrous four years of foreign policy. The agency needs someone to tell "the experts" not how to do their job but is able to recognize and handle when they are not doing their job. The head of the agency is a "chief executive position" and like in business is almost never someone who has come up thru the ranks and knows how each underling job is to be done. They need to know and understand the "agency mission" and keep everyone focused only on that. The president doesn't know everyone's job who works for him but that does not make him unqualified.
I THINK MC CONNELL'S SILENCE IS FROM SERIOUS FATIGUE AND THE REALIZTION THAT HE HAS SUNG HIS LAST NOTE AND IT WAS SOUR. GOOD RIDDANCE TO MC CONNELL, HE IS A SHORT TIMER. NO ONE CARES WHAT HE THINKS OR SAYS, WE HAVE HIM ON PERMANENT MUTE.
Great article about confirmation hearings. The questions asked by the Demos seemed like they were asking, “Are you going to do to us, what we have been doing to you the past several years?”
And the J6 issue. I am not in favor of pardons for violent or destructive people. However, given that none of the accused were given even their basic rights under the Constitution, guilty or not guilty, if it was up to an unbiased judge, time served would be the only acceptable decision. Also, there should be investigations under U.S. Code Title 18 § 242 which covers violations of basic rights under color of law. The statute applies to law enforcement, attorneys, and judges as well as others who abuse their positions to abuse others. It also applies to local and state officials as well as federal.
Saw this tonight, "Hirono ripped for 'deranged' opening confirmation hearing question to Burgum: 'This lady has issues'", and I agree that this is offensive and ridiculous, but if she wants to waste her few minutes in the spotlight with this kind of nonsense that's her problem. The backlash is warranted but, in my opinion, misses the real problem and that is the "concept of approval" that these senators have. They almost never question the nominees' qualifications; they are all agenda or personality attacks. The perfect example was Schiff's attacking Bondi for being Trump's friend, which Kennedy played with perfectly. This whole approval process has turned into a farce when in fact it could serve a legitimate purpose if done right.
Has Governor Huckabee heard of the 2022 Saudi-based Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution?

Great article, Laura. Always insightful.
I hope this thread reaches her Boss too.
