Whether that momentum continues into the summer and fall of 2026 is the real question, but if it does, the possibility of an election victory in November will be real, and it will be spectacular!
I'd like to be optimistic, but I can't.
1. Never underestimate the GOPs hatred for Trump and their obscene willingness to throw an election in order to stick it to him and his voters.
2. Do not underestimate the left's obscene willingness to offer up blood sacrifices for their base. Today it was Renee Good, tomorrow it will be someone else and in November it will be someone else.
3. The MFM is dying, but still can convince a majority of people.

Timothee Chalamet has finally made his relationship with Kylie Jenner Instagram official, marking the first time Chalamet has acknowledged his 'other half' on his social media account.
His Golden Globes best actor win was celebrated by sharing a number of Instagram snaps on Monday, one of which featured his billionaire mogul girlfriend's, 28, hand. The photo showed the Oscar nominee — who walked the red carpet solo — posing with the golden gong, which rested in Kylie’s manicured hand.

Of course the judiciary is furious, and has thrown up obstacle after obstacle in the administration's way, but the President and his cabinet have stayed the course, and a gratifying number of their policies have ultimately been upheld.

NYT had a infographic of wins in court in 2025, Trump has won at the district court level about 25 percent of the time, at the appellate, a little over 50 percent, at Scotus, in the mid 80's.
I think what you are seeing is that the uniparty is desperate and getting more so. The scope of the looting is so vast and the hits keep coming that the recourse of the Dems and corrupt GOPe is to try to stall for time to get away, to destroy evidence, and to avoid public anger. That is what the district courts are doing for them.
In addition, the deportations are beginning to bite and weaken the Dem electoral fraud and vote buying schemes so they are frantic to shore that up for 2026 elections by any means possible. Including getting people shot to rally the troops.

Unfortunately, thanks to the media onslaught, LIVs think we’re in a depression.
I see people say “in this economy” all the time. Not in a political situation but in general. Stuff like hey you wanna go out to dinner? No way not in this economy. The zeitgeist is the economy sucks everything is too expensive and nobody is hiring.
People are believing what they see online and on “the news” more than their eyes.

And they will have to be spicy with tell all icky details of sex, money, and gossip to sell well.

When someone hates themselves, they tend to hate outwards as well. Depression is actually rage directed at oneself and it is really easy to deflect some of that rage against other people.
Depressives can be violent at times because they want to stop hurting inside. So the distance between killing oneself and going out by suicide by cop in a spree killing is not that far apart.

They submitted an eight-page legal letter laying out why they considered the subpoenas “invalid and legally unenforceable,” then followed up with a scorching missive that they signed jointly, promising to fight Mr. Comer on the issue for as long as it took.
In the letter, the Clintons noted that they had proactively provided Mr. Comer with sworn statements similar to ones he had accepted from seven or eight other former law enforcement officials he had also subpoenaed and then excused from testifying before the committee. The Clintons have repeatedly said they have no knowledge relevant to the investigation.”
“We are confident that any reasonable person in or out of Congress will see, based on everything we release, that what you are doing is trying to punish those who you see as your enemies and to protect those you think are your friends.”

In December 2024, employers added 256,000 jobs. It's 50K this month, with Trump's DoL cooking the numbers. I thought tariffs were bringing back the jobs?
USA has no ability to repay its debt. GOP gets support because they keep government from being able to stop the grift and deal with billionaires and their tax and crimes.
GOP will not allow DEM to pay it down, they will have wars and tax-reductions for wealthy people if there is any surplus. It is a miracle that the debt is getting the current level of service.
Has Trump taken any steps to reduce inflation? Sure, gas is slightly cheaper, but inflation is worse and health insurance just doubled. My business income was down 20% last year. Am I missing something?
Prices are only down because OPEC decided to flood the market in prep for the coming recession, or the one we are already in that the government won't release the economic numbers on, not anything Trump did.
Inflation was between 2 and 3% for the second half of the Biden admin, and it's stayed there for Trump. He had no impact. He promised to reduce prices to 2019 levels! A ridiculous promise. Midterms are coming.

I don't believe normal people aren't seeing and appreciating the drastically-improved Trump economy. Unless you live like a hermit, you can't not see it. Every time you fill up your car's gas tank. Every time you go shopping. Every time you look at your 401k. Every time you do anything that costs money.
Sure, the leftshit media is trying desperately to convince people not to see what they're clearly seeing. It might work on some people so infected with TDS they'll never ever vote GOP.
And some people will use the media-pimped stories about unaffordability as excuses to avoid doing things they really don't want to do anyway. "Sorry baby, we just can't take that Hawaii trip this year because the economy is so bad. Maybe next year!"
But the vast majority of people are seeing for themselves that things are much improved, and getting even better.

Buh, buh, buh...the reason tariffs aren't increasing consumer costs meaning increasing inflation is because many exporters and importers are eating the tariff charges! That's unfair!

Weren't we assured by legions of brilliant 26-year-old journalism majors that tariffs would explode the deficit and inflation would skyrocket?
And Nobel Prize winners in economics, sadly.
Nobel Laureates Join 900 U.S. Economists In Rebuke Of Trump’s Tariff Policy
In the declaration, titled the “Anti-Tariff Statement,” Nobel laureates James Heckman and Vernon Smith, along with hundreds of scholars and researchers, criticize the notion that tariffs promote “economic liberation.” Instead, they argue that tariffs undermine the liberal economic principles that fueled decades of American prosperity.
Earlier, you had a bunch of Nobel Prize winners in economics explaining that Biden's "Inflation Reduction Act" would reduce inflation. (In fact, inflation skyrocketed, of course.)
Most of economics has been captured by the Left, along with everything else.

Earlier, you had a bunch of Nobel Prize winners in economics explaining that Biden's "Inflation Reduction Act" would reduce inflation. (In fact, inflation skyrocketed, of course.)
Most of economics has been captured by the Left, along with everything else.

Weren't we breathlessly informed that President Trump's economic policies were reckless and would result in recession, high unemployment, rampant homelessness, Americans starving and, probably, hemorrhoids?

I see people say “in this economy” all the time. Not in a political situation but in general. Stuff like hey you wanna go out to dinner? No way not in this economy. The zeitgeist is the economy sucks everything is too expensive and nobody is hiring.
People are believing what they see online and on “the news” more than their eyes.

For me, it has nothing to do with the economy. Has everything to do with McDonald's costing $20+ or Texas Roadhouse costing $52 for dinner. Not when i can cook at ribeye at home for around $10.

When someone reaches the point of being suicidal, some figure why not take someone with me and have a cop put me out of my misery.
If not at the point of being suicidal, then adding victims to the list is not an option generally.
And there are other ways that depression can sabotage such as losing the will to live, losing oneself in substance abuse, or accepting large risks with fatalism.
So getting competent help for it whether religious therapy, talk therapy, or even prescribed drugs actually saves lives.
It is never necessary to live that way and people can be helped. But the anger must go.

Mrs. Meta took me out to dinner to celebrate my pending retirement. We went to an expensive fish house I enjoy. Most entrees are in the $50 range. With cocktails and wine, you're not getting out of there for less than three bills. Every table was booked and the bar was three deep. We were also out and about a few weeks ago and stopped to grab a bite at a local reasonably priced bistro. Again, place was full - on a Wednesday in early Jan. People may bitch about the price of groceries, but it hasn't affected spending; at least in SE PA.

When Scott Adams first mentioned his cancer, I was originally skeptical. The timing was right after Biden originally reported having cancer, so my first thought was that Scott was running a Rush Limbaugh-like kind of parody. Similar to the episode where Rush claimed he was switching to the Democrat party.
I was also hoping that later reports of his cancer giving him only a month to live was overblown. That it was the worst-case scenario. Sadly, that wasn't the case.
Condolences to his family. At least he got to see Trump 2.0 in full action, whereas Rush passed away during the depths of the Biden misadminstration.

Thx CBD. Was watching Bartiromo this AM when the numbers came out . All the panelists were pointing out that Powell was wrong about tariffs causing further inflation. No crap

Powell is not "wrong" in the sense he made a mistake or misread the economy. Powell is many things and most of them bad. But he is not dumb. He knows tariffs don't cause inflation. That's Econ 101. He seized on tariffs as an excuse to stonewall interest rate cuts to try to fuck Trump. He's a corrupt shitmonging cocksucker. But he ain't stupid.

Are you kidding me? They thought they would have... blanks? Less than lethal rounds? What?
Rubber bullets. Bean bags. Tasers. You know, the rounds that cops use in 'reality' shows when they're taking down a perp.
I can't tell you how many true crime shows I've seen where perps trying to dispose of evidence end up laying a trail straight back to themselves because they believe that what they saw in a movie is real. The same idiocy applies here.

The funniest thing that Scott Adams ever wrote was that he lived in worker bee housing in San Francisco working for the phone company, got rich from Dilbert, got fired from the phone company, and moved to one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the Bay Area - Blackhawk.
As a minor celebrity, he got invited to a lot of parties in his new neighborhood.
Now, the people at these parties are wealthy people living in the San Francisco Bay Area. They have won at the game of life.
So, you'd think they would have nothing to complain about.
Bzzzztttt! Wrong - they complained endlessly, and Adams made a list of all the trivial things they found to complain about.
It was hilarious.

Has Trump taken any steps to reduce inflation? Sure, gas is slightly cheaper, but inflation is worse and health insurance just doubled. My business income was down 20% last year. Am I missing something?

Slightly? Lol. It’s down 50%
Insurance doubled? lol. On average it’s up like 5%.

Mass resignations hit Justice Department's Civil Rights Division amid lack of action in Minneapolis, sources say. At least six prosecutors, most of whom are supervisors in the Civil Rights Division's criminal section, will be leaving their jobs. Their decision to resign was announced in a meeting to staff on Monday, the sources told CBS News.

We went to an expensive fish house I enjoy. Most entrees are in the $50 range. With cocktails and wine, you're not getting out of there for less than three bills. Every table was booked and the bar was three deep. We were also out and about a few weeks ago and stopped to grab a bite at a local reasonably priced bistro. Again, place was full - on a Wednesday in early Jan. People may bitch about the price of groceries, but it hasn't affected spending; at least in SE PA.

But the restaurants are packed, from the most expensive to the cheapest. Try getting a reservation at any of these $400+ a plate places.
Businesses are going to charge what they can get away with. Right now, they can charge almost anything they want and people will still line up.

But, his public letter essentially said, "I'll say the words so God can prove to me that He exists and if He does then BONUS! I get to go to Heaven."
Which is more an agnostic statement than one of whole-hearted belief.

104 Do they even make rubber boolits for 5.56 weapons? I thought those were for shotguns.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon
=====
No. I am not aware of any 5.56 less lethal cartridges. Usually cops using less lethal firearms use shotguns with a variety of different solutions. The stocks are often orange etc. so that the cops do not mistake the live from the less lethal.
But police have a continuum of force while civilians do not. Less lethal does not mean not lethal even with tasers. People can and do die with less lethal.
So because regular citizens do not have qualified immunity, best to simply stick with deadly force and avoidance instead of trying to retaliate with just x+1 force escalation. Blessed are the peacemakers in most interpersonal conflicts using de escalation tactics. Doing so makes it difficult to portray someone as blood thirsty when they are retreating and walking away from incitements to fight over stupid matters.
I would only use less lethal if in a jurisdiction or place where I could not carry a firearm. Travel to a firearm unfriendly area is another reason. Buy some pepper spray, etc. at the destination, discard or ship home prior to leaving.

>>We went to an expensive fish house I enjoy. Most entrees are in the $50 range. With cocktails and wine, you're not getting out of there for less than three bills. Every table was booked and the bar was three deep.
This has been my experience in the ultra-foodie-town I live near (Portland ME). During the tourist season - good luck getting reservations at the truly special eateries in town. They're always booked solid.
Scales is by far the best seafood place in town and it is still constantly packed even during winter. The last time the Mrs. and I ate there, I think we left about $300 poorer.

Mass resignations hit Justice Department's Civil Rights Division amid lack of action in Minneapolis, sources say. At least six prosecutors, most of whom are supervisors in the Civil Rights Division's criminal section, will be leaving their jobs. Their decision to resign was announced in a meeting to staff on Monday, the sources told CBS News.

WTF? Does she believe they only use real bullets for minorities?
Posted by: Aetius451AD
The idea of tasing a car is idiotic. Driver made it into car versus cop so the only way for the cop to survive is kill the car's brain--the driver. I am guessing that the first shot through the windshield was the fatal one as the only target that the officer probably saw from that angle was the head and neck. Probably a CNS shot.

Wages haven't caught up to prices. People will continue to think the economy is bad until they do.
YES, the economy is growing very well, but people know they were better off in 2020, so they judge the economy as bad.
It's not propaganda, but how humans work. People judge form their own personal circumstances, not data.
Posted by: Formerly Virginian
Speaking as someone who's gone 6+ years without so much as a cost-of-living, until that changes, the economy sucks for me.
There's some unusual, not strictly economic forces that have been interfering with wage and employment issues for large swathes of the economy for an extended period of time. Until those get rooted out and people see some improvements in their situations, inflation may be down and the stock market up, but when groceries are still too expensive and you can't afford housing without cutting back on necessities, is the economy really that good?
We scoff at "perception is reality" at our peril.

In my hometown, there was a case where a burglar broke into a small mom and pop shop. All the cash was gone but there was a big bag of pennies so the burglar took that. Unbeknownst to the burglar, the bag had a hole in it. So a trail of pennies led to the trailer where the burglar lived and the dude was still sleeping in when the cops came to his door and arrested him. The mom and pop had a trailer park behind the store and one of those trailers is where the burglar lived.

Honestly that’s on you. If you truly believe your worth is more than 1% raise, go elsewhere. Thats absolute bullshit because your employer most certainly raised their prices by more than 1%.
Staying anywhere for more than 3,4 years is a money loser long term. Only way you get ahead is jumping ship to a fat raise consistently.

Locally, and only from the commoners such as I, there's increased complaining that now it doesn't matter if prices are reasonable because those fabulous jobs of the past, especially for those with mediocre education at best, are no more.
Like the "Great Resignation" or the "Big Quit," primarily from early 2021 thru 2022 when the Obamacare subsidies went into place, there are still help wanted signs all over the place, including for leisure and hospitality, construction, and healthcare. So what? They want paid healthcare, big opportunities, pay, and work-life balance.
BTW, now our fabulous diners are closing. They've stocked their back kitchens & cleaning services with the undocumented for many years & have loved the minimal salaries paid, but now they're cashing out after years of ownership & hard work and taking what's theirs.
Again, things, including politics, are changing quickly.

In this instance they are using a number of economists instead of a percentage of all US economists. Why? They must not have 97% of US economic scientists rebuking Trump's Tariff Policy.
Lies, damned lies, and carefully selected quantities or statistics.

Tariffs cannot increase inflation.
Inflation is caused by Fedgov spending more money then it brings in and printing dollars to make up the difference.
Tariffs, as a tax, lower the needed number of new dollars.
And unlike other taxes tariffs have the advantage of some of that money coming from foreign pockets instead of just American ones

So they can afford to pay a replacement more...even though in most cases a replacement would be less valuable

No time. Have you actually watched the cop's own body cam doing a 360 inspection. He had his phone out and was videoing the car for evidence. Driver had been harassing ICE all day and that is why the officer did a 360, checking the car for identifying marks, license plate number, etc. All the while Becca the bitch was yelling at the cop while he was trying to document evidence (needed for any obstruction charge). You see the officer literally drop the phone at the instant the driver guns for him (and she does gun--car analysis shows 0-7mph acceleration in a second more than enough to injure. In addition, the streets themselves were slippery, you can see ICE agents visibly slipping on the literal ice. Then you have the other officer with his hand in the vehicle trying to stop her.
Officer made a split second call and he made the right call legally and morally. Suicide by cop and stupidity. At every step in of the process where she could have deescalated, she did not and if you watch, you can literally see her rack up more and more crimes until she did a lethal assault on an officer. She died for it.

Tariffs cannot increase inflation.
Inflation is caused by Fedgov spending more money then it brings in and printing dollars to make up the difference.
Tariffs, as a tax, lower the needed number of new dollars.
And unlike other taxes tariffs have the advantage of some of that money coming from foreign pockets instead of just American ones
Posted by: 18-1 at January 13, 2026 11:59 AM (sKqQm)
-----------
Tariffs also strengthen the dollar relative to other currencies -- resulting in Americans paying lower relative prices (a bigger bang for the buck, if you will) for foreign exports.

Honestly that’s on you. If you truly believe your worth is more than 1% raise, go elsewhere. Thats absolute bullshit because your employer most certainly raised their prices by more than 1%.
Staying anywhere for more than 3,4 years is a money loser long term. Only way you get ahead is jumping ship to a fat raise consistently.

Oh I'm fully aware that me and me alone are responsible for accepting the condition of my continued employment. I have over 20 years at this company invested - with a ton of seniority and organizational reputation. The 7 weeks of PTO a year and $0 deductible PPO health plan benefits don't hurt either.
What I referred to as "bullshit" wasn't the 1% raise, but the justification they provided for it.
I can smell a fart when its passed. If it wasn't for the fact that I have a close personal friendship with my boss, and my wife makes over 2x what I do anyways - I'd be finding a new job.

All of those fancy new investigative techniques haven't made it easier to catch people unless they commit an impulsive murder. The cops have become pretty dependent on tech, so if you plan - at all - they will run out of their technological crutches pretty quick and just give up. Same as with foreign intelligence, the tech has atrophied humint.
I think the cameras have worked, in the sense that fewer people are committing murder - but clearance rates once a murder is committed don't seem to have changed very much.

It's good to keep in mind as we rag on Journos that J-school students are the second-dumbest (by SAT) of the academic cohort in any college. The dumbest, of course (per Sowell and Williams), are Ed School kids. So we educate the next generation with morons and keep the current franchise informed by idiots. To think anything will change without overhauling - and putting an SAT/IQ floor on - grad schools is naive.
