In May Trump & Co were crowing that gasoline was below $2, now 6 months later they are crowing it is below $3 lol

 

These two pixies John J. Waters and Adam Ellwanger can't point to one thing which Democrats have achieved which Donald Trump has permanently reversed or topped

 ... By the time Obama secured his second term as president, the Democratic party (and the shadow groups that swim in its wake) had won the day on virtually every issue that mattered. This victory was largely due to their focus on doing and creating things rather than thinking about them. ...

Democrats owned the world of things and the real-world effects of their policies – however incoherent – were evident to all. An underlying premise of the Trump campaign was a return to things. To infrastructure. To clean streets and safe cities. To American-made products. And to historic landmarks and monuments that memorialize America’s greatness for future generations. Trump recognized that conservative ideas are meaningless until we rebuild the material conditions where they can be achieved. ...

There isn't one thing in the room with us right now, and there won't be.

We are three weeks into a government shutdown and Congressional Republicans are completely OK with these precious legislative days just thrown into the dumpster of history without accomplishing anything.

The US House isn't even in session, and hasn't been in session now but for 3 of the last 16 weeks, and this will likely extend to 17, 18, who knows how many weeks. Some people are predicting to Thanksgiving.

The GOP won't swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva, elected on September 23rd, because they fear Republican Thomas Massie's Epstein gambit.

Donald Trump's GOP is a farce.

And no, we're not afraid of him. We just loathe him, that's all. He's not one of us.

If we have to vote Democrat for the first time in our lives to stop him, we will. If Russell Kirk could do it in 1976, so can we. William F. Buckley Jr championed Democrat Joe Lieberman in 1988. If Gavin Newsom can support Thomas Massie in 2025, we can also be tactical in 2026. It doesn't mean we're getting married. Dividing political power intentionally is the genius of America. It's only ideologues who think you are who you vote for.

That others saw through this fraud long before us is to their credit. We should learn from them. It is no shame to be mistaken, only not to learn from one's mistakes.

The country is only marginally in Trump's hands. He can be defeated easily a year from now, and he must be.

ROFLMAO: The time-challenged imbeciles at The Washington Times forget to mention it was Trump's incompetent, biased, rigged 2020 census

 

Botched Census 'Accidentally' Handed Dems 6 House Votes

Washington Times

 

... The 2020 population count was rigged ... We’re just supposed to believe it was a coincidence that Mr. Biden’s allies were the beneficiaries in almost every instance ... The Constitution requires an “actual enumeration” ... not a guestimate maximizing the inclusion of illegal aliens that the prior administration let into the country by the millions. ...

 

Ah, hello, whose prior administration? Trump's? Which did nothing about illegal immigration for four years? That prior administration?

 

About 1 million foreign born actually left the country during 2019 and 2020 because the country shut down for the pandemic, after Trump I let in about 1.75 million from 2016.

 

The flood of millions into the country started in late 2021, a year after the census had already been completed.

 

This has to be one of the top 10 stupidest editorials I have ever read.

 

And we're supposed to believe that Trump will get it right if he does another census, which will be outside the constitution?

The Uniparty: It will never not be funny how Trump insists that his tariffs are not new taxes same as Obama insisted fines for not having health insurance were not new taxes

 

Right, right, there's absolutely no reason to think of Trump as king, none whatsoever

 Even when his A.I. & Crypto Czar trolls you today, or Trump does in September, or The White House does in February.

This is all nothing more than a joke they keep on telling. 

 

 

People are right to doubt government data when Trump's Treasury Department under Scott Bessent leads off with this chart crime of September 2025 federal outlays

 You can access the Treasury's Monthly Treasury Statement here to see for yourself.

The OUTLAYS BY FUNCTION for September 2025 in the Figure 1 graphic DO NOT ADD UP TO $346 BILLION, as stated.

They add up to $560 billion.

The receipts DO ADD UP, almost, to $543 billion.

That the graphic indicates $544 billion, not $543 billion, is another clue that the entire thing is a tendentiously fabricated interpretation of the data from within the report, obviously. 

Well duh.

Meanwhile that "Other" category isn't a Red Flag for nothing!

"Hello! Hey! Yes, you! We're about to pull a fast one! Pay Attention!" 

In the end outlays of $560 billion minus receipts of $543 billion = a September DEFICIT of $17 billion, NOT A F^@KING SURPLUS OF $198 BILLION.

They are asking you to deny the evidence of your own eyes, and they know it. 

It's a total lie, as in Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.

When you can't trust the U.S. Treasury Department, who can you trust?

 

The upshot is that Fiscal Year 2025 ends with a deficit of $1.973 trillion, far worse than FY 2024's $1.816 trillion . . . by 8.6%.

But the Trump Regime wants you to think the deficit is smaller than in 2024, at $1.775 trillion, that they're cutting spending by closing agencies and departments and firing federal employees, and increasing revenues through tariffs, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, and that the Big Ugly Bill is working.

LIES, DAMN LIES, I tell you. 

 

Nutball Sasha Stone is Exhibit A in the case of the hysterical American who never gets it

 She's so upset at the prospect of hearing her former No Kings self today that she forgets who's actually in charge of the asylum right now, lol.

 

Reminds me of Trump blaming Biden's FBI for January 6th when he himself had had control of it for four years already.

 

Down deep, they still don't believe they've won.

 

No Kings: The Lunatics Are Running the Asylum

... Protests are meant to be the voices of the unheard. Yet these protests are the voices of those who never shut up. Not for one minute, not for ten years, and all of us have had to endure them . . . I try to remember being one of them and feeling the same way. But why did we think we had the right to protest an election just because it didn’t go our way? ...

 

You don't lose your rights because you lose an election, including your right to demonstrate for all to see that you are an unreasonable lunatic. It's the American Way. 

 

You can take the totalitarian out of the Democrat Party and put her in the Republican Party, but she's still a totalitarian crying, Just Shut Up!

Treasury Secretary Bessent says we have to stop the rigged Chicom economy by abandoning free market principles just like them

 

 Trump administration will set price floors across range of industries to combat China, Bessent says

... “When you are facing a nonmarket economy like China, then you have to exercise industrial policy,” Bessent told Sara Eisen at CNBC’s Invest in America Forum in Washington, D.C.

“So we’re going to set price floors and the forward buying to make sure that this doesn’t happen again and we’re going to do it across a range of industries,” the Treasury secretary said, without naming specific industries the administration was looking at beyond rare earths. ...

“I wouldn’t be surprised,” the Treasury secretary said when asked about additional equity stakes. “When we get an announcement like this week with China on the rare earths, you realize we have to be self-sufficient, or we have to be sufficient with our allies.”

The Trump administration will not take stakes in nonstrategic industries, Bessent said. “We do have to be very careful not to overreach,” he said. ...
