I'd eat a couple rolls of gas station sushi before I'd believe anything that is uttered from anybody in this administration or the mainstream media.

Los Angeles declares itself an immigration 'sanctuary'

The move is likely to put the city on a collision course with the incoming Trump administration.

Populist Conservatism and Constitutional Order

American conservatism exists to serve the people and the nation through the Constitution. This includes defending them against enemies foreign and domestic. And the fact is, elite institutions have become the people’s and the nation’s enemies. They are openly waging cultural war on those they...

Interesting read, a lot of points he is trying to make regarding government, media, foreign policy etc. could have been written by Noam Chomsky. Almost a full circle.

Problem is, this admin, and particularly this admin's AG, is corrupt AF. If they had a case against Gaetz, even if it were the flimsiest of cases, they'd have brought it to him. That they haven't charged him means all the yacking about it is just so much more hot air.

This admin and its water carriers in the press have attempted to gaslight us for 4 years that Biden was the picture of mental health. Until, that is, it was so obvious he wasn't that even the village idiots couldn't help but notice.

"Honest, we're telling the truth about Gaetz. We pinky-swear."

If that crew told me the sun was shining outside, I'd go out and have a look for myself. They seem to lie even when it doesn't serve any real purpose to.

I'd eat a couple rolls of gas station sushi before I'd believe anything that is uttered from anybody in this administration or the mainstream media.

My nearly 87 yo dad says the same thing.

TDS in a nutshell. Double down on stupidly or insanity- I’m not sure which. Create incentives for illegal aliens. Intentionally open the border. Blame congress ( and Trump of course who is not president ) for not passing legislation that would hire more agents for the sole purpose of processing more illegal aliens. Threaten to codify sanctuary status in political jurisdictions in preparation for deportation policy. The shit hole of LA is latest example. Exhibit hysterical, feigned outrage for safety of immigrant children while promoting abortion while enticing illegal immigration. TDS is truly a cultural mental illness permeating a large portion of our population. For those lecturing about at-risk illegal immigrant children how about support closing the border to illegal entry, discouraging illegal entry and putting your money where your mouth is… maybe adopt or sponsor one of the kids you are so “worried” about.

Let them create sanctuary cities or states. The illegals will flock to them like fleas off a dog thrown in a pond. After a year the feds should throw a net over them and round up and deport the lot of them.

I hope the new AG locks up some of the arrogant, federal lawbreaking democrat officials that flout the law. The best thing this country can experience these days is equal prosecution under the law.

I had a feeling this was the case with respect to Ukraine striking Russia with ATACMs - particularly after Trump Jr. went radio silent after immediately posting a negative response to the announcement. What is a Trump loyalist supposed to do? You know, that whole WWIII thing. If true, I assume the ever snarkier Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson must be terribly confused.

My post yesterday -

With respect to the decision to allow Ukraine to target positions within Russia with US munitions, Don Jr. did make an immediate and critical statement about the Biden decision with respect to US long range weapons and World War III. The only other comments were from republicans well outside the Trump's immediate orbit like MTG. Those, however were immediately followed by a statement to the press by Steven Cheung. ""As President Trump has said on the campaign trail, he is the only person who can bring both sides together in order to negotiate peace, and work towards ending the war and stopping the killing," This was hardly a denunciation of the decision or supportive of his son's initial position.

I still have to believe it was discussed with him, even mutual agreement reached, at the meeting with Biden.

I sure as heck hope so!

This made me laugh...

If it's been shared and I missed it, I apologize for the duplication. I thought of it with recent posts about Trump and Biden meeting.

It may be telling that Elon posted this short interview with Milton Friedman discussing the need for Departments.

It certainly gives Trump and Ukraine a stronger position to start negotiations from. Just like the 100% tariffs comments with China and others.
