The Morning Report — 1/25/24
“First of all, [Donald Trump] has a cognitive disorder. It wasn’t that he just had a slip of the tongue of using a name one time for another. Anybody can do that. But he was making a case. But really more dangerous than than getting us mixed up, more dangerous was his charge that we were not accepting his troops. We begged him for hours and hours. Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, to send the National Guard and he wouldn’t do it. His his underlings, the Secretary of the Army and the Acting Secretary of the Defense wouldn’t do it.”If you can stand the bile rising in your throat and BP exploding, listen to anything she has ever said and you come to realize that she does not speak in rational, well thought out sentences. She's a minimally competent automaton who can barely string pre-digested talking points, insults and platitudes together in a sort of protracted babble. Like the quote above. She just wants to get it all out at once which she is able to do only because she has hack propagandists willing and eager to just let her go off, unchallenged. The incredibly chutzpocritial comment about Trump having a cognitive disability is a howler. Not only considering that Joe Biden shuffles around like the bastard child of a Roomba and a Dalek searching out a pre-pubescent girl to fondle but that she herself as an advanced octogenarian has "issues." Worst of all is in the rest of the story, that I did not post, she has the fucking gall to outright lie about her intentionally leaving the Capitol unprotected on 1/6. It was Trump and his colleagues that begged her to beef up security and refused. Not vice versa. Anyway, far too much real estate but I think what it illustrates is their complete desperation. After everything being flung at Trump, which has done nothing but make him even more popular and almost a martyr, all you have left is this bullshit about his cognitive ability? Watch this have the effect of putting Joey's rapidly melting brain center stage. Well done, Pelosi! In any case, things are heating up along the Rio Grande. Greg Abbott has in essence told the asshole contingent at SCOTUS, no doubt acting at the behest of the Kalorama Klown Komintern, to go piss up a rope. Whatever razor wire the Feds cut down will be replaced with all speed. This is now becoming a situation. Oh boy.
A Texas congressman has urged [fake spurious] President Biden to take the state's National Guard under federal control if Republican Governor Greg Abbott defies a Supreme Court ruling allowing federal agents to remove razor wire from a section of the U.S.-Mexico border. The call was made by Democratic Representative Joaquin Castro after Abbott posted on X, formerly Twitter, saying the Texas National Guard would continue to "hold the line in Eagle's Pass," a popular migrant crossing point, stating: "Texas will not back down from our efforts to secure the border in Biden's absence." Castro re-shared Abbott's post on his own X account, adding: "Governor Greg Abbott is using the Texas National Guard to obstruct and create chaos at the border. As of this writing, there has been no action on this by the Biden [junta]. This idea by Rep. Castro raises some interesting questions: 1 - Were the President to activate the Texas National Guard under Title 10, what would their orders be? To assist federal officers in throwing open the gates?First, Joaquin Castro is an insidious, rabid racialist and Marxist who has a hate on for America as founded. See his full rap sheet here via the invaluable Discover the Networks. He's a huge fan of what is known as la Reconquista, the reconquest of much of the western United States he feels stolen by the Yanquis from Mexico. Much of that crap comes from a pseudo political and totally racist hate group known as "La Raza," "The Race" in English, which his mother was/is intimately involved in. Don't bother looking it up as a group being monitored by the SPLC or the DOJ. And yet "replacement theory" is crazy talk, right? Funny, La Raza rhymes with Gaza. But I digress. Second, the gall of this puta madre to claim Abbott is responsible for the chaos on the border is off the charts. But, that's a hallmark of Leftists. Projection. And Joe Manchin is a clueless douchebag. Biden and his handlers have intentionally erased our borders and fomented an invasion of the numerical equivalent of one of the largest armies in the world. The chaos, dislocation, criminal violence and potentially terrorist violence, individually or as one or more mass events, that is being unleashed and soon to be unleashed is the greatest national security threat the American people have ever faced. Not too fine a point but I believe this is an act of treason on the part of Biden, Mayorkas and anyone who aids, abets and supports this, both in and outside of government. Right now, Greg Abbott is a patriot for holding the line. And for the moment he is in the wheeled catbird seat for one big reason: the 2024 election. The Biden/Democrat-created crisis via the complete erasure of our border and anything remotely resembling normal, rational immigration control is the issue that will decide the election. Even staunch Democrat blocs, especially American blacks, are being directly impacted by this and they are going from pissed off to being full on enraged. Their last desperate wunderwaffe (I can't think of something funny with V-2 and vagina), a.k.a. abortion is not going to help them. The situation at the border mirrors the junta's fiasco with Israel. Biden is caught between his desire to help destroy Israel that his crazy Muslim-Leftist base wants, and the outrage from most quarters about the attack and simultaneous eruption of anti-semitism that he's been forced to address. Now, he'll either have to admit there is a crisis – again one that is intentional and of his making – and reverse course, which will no doubt piss off the hardcore Marxists (and the Gas Chamber of Commerce), or do nothing and let Greg Abbott become a national hero. Or, most dangerously, he can send armed Federal troops down to Texas and ignite a full blown incident which could have untold repercussions. And remember, this is an election year when everyone's eyes are on him. Especially the eyes of Texas which are now the eyes of all of us as honorary Texans. Like everything else over the past three or more years, freedom itself is at stake. And here's another one of those lost-in-the-sauce items that has major ramifications for everyone:
2 - What happens if members of the Texas National Guard refuse activation and instead continue to follow the orders of TX-ANG officers and Governor Abbott?
3 - What if the Texas Guard splits, and former comrades end up facing each other across that red line?
4 - If the Pentagon sends federal troops, how willing are they going to be to confront other Americans to allow the continued invasion of the country?
5 - Is there any possibility that there may be open conflict between Texas and federal officials? I'm no wild-eyed conspiracy theorist, but this is the kind of thing that civil wars start over. Meanwhile, Senator and possible No-Labels Presidential candidate Joe Manchin (D-WV) is advising another course, in advising [fake spurious] President Biden to declare a national emergency over the illegal immigration crisis. . . . . . It's unlikely in the extreme that the Biden [junta] is going to declare a national emergency on the illegal invasion of the southern border; this [junta] has spent three years denying that there is any such emergency. Add to that the fact that neither side here looks like they are considering backing down.
The pro-life activists are accused of violating the FACE Act and civil rights conspiracy for a protest that took place in a hallway outside of a Mount Juliet abortion provider on March 5, 2021. On that day, a group of demonstrators gathered on the second floor of an office building in the hallway outside the Carafem Health Center Clinic. The group prayed, sang hymns, and urged women showing up to the clinic to not get abortions. Eleven of the protesters were arrested for trespassing at the time after local police arrived and dispersed the crowd. In October 2022, the 11 pro-lifers were indicted by a federal grand jury after the Justice Department pursued charges against them arguing that there was conspiracy by the group to stop the women from accessing so-called “reproductive health care” and violating federal law ensuring access to abortion facilities. If convicted, the pro-lifers could face up to 11 years in prison and $250,000 worth of fines. . . . . . During the opening statement, the federal government accused the pro-lifers of plotting to “block doors to a health care clinic” and saying that the demonstrators planned on being arrested. The DOJ also said that the demonstration was not a protest, but a violation of federal law. Each of the lawyers for the defendants then had an opportunity to give an opening statement. Jodie Bell, Gallagher’s lawyer, said that the pro-lifers were peaceful and were only trying to convince pregnant women not to abort their unborn children. The other lawyers also said that their clients never injured, threatened, or assaulted anyone during the protest. Steve Crampton, with the Thomas More Society, said that his client, Vaughn, was an innocent man, and the protest was a “nonviolent, peaceful exercise.” . . . Vaughn has previously spoken about how the FBI raided his home with guns out in front of his wife and 11 children. He told the Daily Signal that federal agents came to his home “guns pointed at the door, banging on the house, yelling and screaming.” “I had kids in the yard walking out to get in the car to go to school, I was about to take them to school, and other kids in the house,” he said. “So seeing that the easiest path to de-escalation was me in handcuffs, I stepped outside and put an end to the ranting and the banging and the yelling.” The trial is taking place in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee at the Fred D. Thompson courthouse. Overseeing the case is Judge Aleta Trauger, appointed to the court in 1998 by then-President Bill Clinton.Funny how none of the useful idiot Einsatz-groupies cheering on the slaughter of Jews who blocked traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge, the 405 Freeway and even the Capitol are given wrist slaps. If that. This is not about abortion. It's about not even a two-tiered justice system but a completely politicized and corrupt system that uses the law to persecute, punish and ultimately destroy anyone who stands in the way of the Leftist Counter-American Revolution of the past 100 or so years. Go Greg Abbott. Let's roll!

Trial Begins For Six Pro-Lifers Targeted By Biden Junta Over Peaceful Protest
- BIDEN MIGRANT INVASION, AMNESTY, IMMIGRATION, BORDER SECURITY
- "Abbott said that Biden’s failures to secure the border 'imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary." (Yes! As Biden would say, "Stand up!" - jjs)

A Texas congressman has urged [fake spurious] President Biden to take the state's National Guard under federal control if Republican Governor Greg Abbott defies a Supreme Court ruling allowing federal agents to remove razor wire from a section of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Do it. Then Governor Abbott will call out the Texas State Guard that only answers to him.
And then he'll augment them with a call for a militia and will have half a million show up on the border toot sweet.

"Three days before the pro-President Trump riot at the Capitol, the Pentagon asked the U.S. Capitol Police if it needed National Guard manpower. And as the mob descended on the building Wednesday, Justice Department leaders reached out to offer up FBI agents. The police turned them down both times, according to a Defense official and two people familiar with the matter."

The democrat propaganda ministry always makes heroic martyrs out of their federal pets who had their heads blown off or stroked out while opening the congressional doors.. JFK, RFK, MLK and Brian Sicknick all were rapists, reprobates, philanderers, whore chasers, crooked, sexually disordered, on drugs, liars, frauds, cheats, layabouts and rapists.
But smooth brained people need imaginary heroes to make them feel tingly all over.

Anyway, far too much real estate but I think what it illustrates is their complete desperation. After everything being flung at Trump, which has done nothing but make him even more popular and almost a martyr, all you have left is this bullshit about his cognitive ability? Watch this have the effect of putting Joey's rapidly melting brain center stage. Well done, Pelosi!
++++
They are unabashed. This will lead to one of two things:
1. Biden is Strong Like Bull (the Dear Leader of the Party always is), and Trump is incompetent. It isn't true, but it may be the message they all parrot.
2. Since both front-runners are in bad shape, might as well stay the course with the guy with experience and a "great team" behind him.
I kind of suspect door number two. Tacitly acknowledge Biden's handicaps, claim Trump is just as bad (he isn't, but I also think Trump isn't what he was 3-4 years ago and has started his decline but it hasn't progressed much), and make the soft argument - more through implication than explication - that the best thing for the country is to keep on keeping on with the experienced, brilliant men Biden has put into place until both men fade away by 2028.

Texas is one of the few states to have a true state militia (The Texas State Guard) that the Feds have zero control over. Also, I'm going to guess the Texas National Guard Adjutant General (head of the State's Guard) is technically a State employee that works for the Governor, so he's mostly untouchable by the Feds as well.

Right now, Greg Abbott is a patriot for holding the line. And for the moment he is in the wheeled catbird seat for one big reason: the 2024 election. The Biden/Democrat-created crisis via the complete erasure of our border and anything remotely resembling normal, rational immigration control is the issue that will decide the election. Even staunch Democrat blocs, especially American blacks, are being directly impacted by this and they are going from pissed off to being full on enraged.

It transcends mere politics (or at least, mere party politics). The open border and the influx of colonists is leaving no corner of this country unsullied. Everyone, everywhere, at all levels and in all communities, sees and lives with the catastrophic problem every day.
This isn't a party thing, even with the nominal differences between the parties. This is a ruling class vs. all others thing. The rulers and their aspirational or blindly conformist followers want this disaster, the rest don't. It is *the* issue because it is the one thing that most people regardless of geography, income, race, etc. agree upon.

The border issue has been fascinating to watch in a few ways. I know there was an easement established by Roosevelt for access to the dry land, but is there some extension of that easement that follows the Rio Grande and grants the feds access to enforce border laws? Because apparently the SCOTUS has determined that only the feds can do it.

The left has been screaming about stolen elections so long, I'm not sure they'll get much traction this time around. And, the obvious play is: Fine, let's do a complete forensic investigation of the voting. The left really doesn't want an investigation into the cheating, so, they'l probably say make up some lame excuse as to why it can't be done but continue to scream about cheating.

If the Pentagon sends federal troops, how willing are they going to be to confront other Americans to allow the continued invasion of the country?
I used to say "no chance". But now? After Milley? I would say 50/50 with a majority of the 4 stars leading the way. They have their pensions to think about. Cant risk losing pension!!!

Or, most dangerously, he can send armed Federal troops down to Texas and ignite a full blown incident which could have untold repercussions. And remember, this is an election year when everyone's eyes are on him. Especially the eyes of Texas which are now the eyes of all of us as honorary Texans.

Which probably makes the odds of an "accident" even greater. Everyone is pushing hard on multiple fronts because it's a year divisible by four. The two major issues are the economy (there's a decent chance they lose control over it this year, elections be damned - just like in 2000 and 200 and the border (the ruling class cannot change course and are trying to play with the messaging).
There is increasing desperation across the ruling class and the Uniparty. Desperation leads to recklessness.

I couldn't agree more with Bronitsky's piece on sacking bureaucrats. Vivek discussed this in detail, i.e., slashing 50% of the government workforce. No more talk about bloated government we've been hearing since Reagan, it's time to decimate (at least) the ranks. It's a quantitative problem above all. Is Trump capable of taking action? Apparently he wanted to but was "advised" against it as legally untenable. Vivek claims it can be legally done.

Weeks, if not months have passed and nary a work from Pelosi in the press. Then, suddenly, this horseshit.
Arguably, the most powerful person in Congress (so far as the 1/6 narrative goes) suddenly saw fit to mumble some gibberish for the press. And specifically she saw fit to go into the situation surrounding the deployment of the National Guard and spin more horseshit.

This is not about abortion.

>>This isn't a party thing, even with the nominal differences between the parties. This is a ruling class vs. all others thing. The rulers and their aspirational or blindly conformist followers want this disaster, the rest don't. It is *the* issue because it is the one thing that most people regardless of geography, income, race, etc. agree upon.
Just one of the reasons I don't think it is going to be as hard as some politicos think it will be to unite behind Trump. Four more years of this kind of utter lawlessness will mean the end of the country and the left is showing no signs of moderating.
I applaud Abbott for taking a principled stand. Texas does not have the firepower to stand up to the feds if it ever came to that but that's not the point. Abbott is defending all Americans and Biden is intentionally harming them and it is plain to anyone looking at what is happening in our country.

In a closed-door meeting, Mitch McConnell confirmed that Trump told Republicans in Congress not to pass immigration reform...McConnell referred to Trump as “the nominee” and noted the former president wants to run his 2024 campaign centered on immigration. And the GOP leader said, “We don’t want to do anything to undermine him.”
“We’re in a quandary,” McConnell added.
We won't get this country back on track until we get rid of Fox News. they're destroying this country in the name of ratings. It is a virus, and it needs to be eradicated. It's done more damage to this country than Al Qaeda or the Taliban could ever dream of.
They don't give a shit about the border. It's just a baseball bat to beat up on President Biden.
The insurrection continues and most GOP legislators are participating.

I have been defending Abbott from critics who said he never did enough for a long time now, and at last we can say; See his long term strategy coming to fruition. He did all he could to stir up a truly national outcry against illegal immigration, and was successful. Then he waited for an election year and political primary season to spring the main part of the trap.
I continue to believe that the primary goal is not ylto "win" a physical confrontation, but instead force the Feds into a heavy handed and politically disastrous retaliatory move, such as sending the US Army to the border to aid illegal entries. Yet I sense hesitation and confusion on the part of this administration, which is... interesting.

Scott? - I'm actually kind of okay with this one (of the suggestions in the article). VP is mostly pointless and rarely leads to the big chair.

Forget the Trump stuff, it's a side show. Look at what this says.
Assuming it's true, it says in plain language that McConnell and the GOP leadership look at border control and immigration reform as a negative, and the front-runner's desire to deal with what he sees as a problem presents a challenge to the Party leadership because they do *not* see it as a problem, but rather as a good thing.
The Party leadership is diametrically opposed to the will of the people and they, by their own statements, view they view this disconnect (and not the border disaster) as the primary problem.

Much of that crap comes from a pseudo political and totally racist hate group known as "La Raza," "The Race" in English, which his mother was/is intimately involved in.
I think 'La Raza' changed their name... sorta like how 'Acorn' had to change their name after being outed.

I applaud Abbott for taking a principled stand. Texas does not have the firepower to stand up to the feds if it ever came to that but that's not the point. Abbott is defending all Americans and Biden is intentionally harming them and it is plain to anyone looking at what is happening in our country.

At this point it's questionable if the feds have the firepower to suppress a serious insurrection by a state. Especially one as large and powerful as Texas. They will have to suppress it within DAYS if they want to maintain their hold on power and that may not be possible. A protracted fight, even one where Texas loses in the end, WILL mean the end of federal power. They'll be too weak to fend off insurrection from other states.

There is one way to justify calling of an election: Make sure there's an incident in TX, proclaim there's now a threat to the government by the actions of states trying to look out for themselves and call off the election.
Or, declare certain states in rebellion and proclaim their votes don't count in a national election.

If you actually want them gone (which they don't) you just need to make your country inhospitable.

... I continue to believe that the primary goal is not ylto "win" a physical confrontation, but instead force the Feds into a heavy handed and politically disastrous retaliatory move, such as sending the US Army to the border to aid illegal entries. Yet I sense hesitation and confusion on the part of this administration, which is... interesting.

There is hesitation to be sure. The trap is fairly obvious. These aren't secret moves that are hard to discern.
Abbott is carefully cornering them and there's nothing they can do about it short of diplomatic deal-making - and Abbott doesn't seem to be open to the kind of the deal the Washington rulers want to offer - or invading Texas. This is how nullification works, and it isn't a mystery or some unknown condition. It's obvious.
The hesitation is because Washington doesn't know what it can get away with. They're facing an actual power-related quandary for the first time in decades.

Note regarding Texas: Abbott isn't even "defying" a court ruling. The court did overturn an injunction sought by Texas to stop the feds from removing the wire, pending a full hearing of the case (this has been a bit overblown by all sides, mind you, as to its significance).
HOWEVER, the denial of the injunction may allow the feds to continue for now, but it does not stop Texas from putting more wire up, either. Texas is neither compelled to, nor prohibited from doing, anything based on current legal cases.

Just like before there wasn't in an increase in voters do to COVID...but there were more ballots cast.

And technically he is an outsider. Or was until he got elected.

Speaking of, the GOPe is working HARD to try to take Robinson down for saying 100% true things about the German Socialists, gun control, Jews, and gays.
Can't have uppity black men doing that sort of thing, especially not with an (R) next to their name.

>>Yes, but this was only proposed three years into his term and, as I understand it, based on performance reviews, which would be subject to lawsuits. Vivek is talking about wholesale reductions -- 50% of workforce -- based on social security numbers, i.e., a mass layoff, exempt from allegations of political motive. And he proposed to do it as a first order of business.
He was a tad busy for a couple years trying to fight off bogus impeachments and backstabbing by his own party. He also was busy doing a lot of other stuff that sometimes get overlooked.
Proposing is easy. I propose to do shit all the time. Actually doing it in the heat of battle is sometimes overcome by reality and what is happening on the ground. I don't know if Vivek's proposal is even possible but I like the intent. I also think Trump will be much better prepared this time around and will have a lot more good people who will actually want to work for him this time. Maybe Trump will bring Vivek onboard and put him in charge of the project.

Indeed.
But we live an Our Democracy. Elections are fig leaf, the justification, the expectation and the basis for legitimacy. Even if the elections are corrupt and pointless, they *must* be there for reasons of psychology if nothing else.
Even the Nazis had "elections." You could vote "Hitler Yes" or "Hitler No." Nobody voted "No." They knew the score.
But they still had elections. They were a useful and necessary fiction.

If Trump wins he should use the VP to fill in for places where the Senate refuses to approve his cabinet picks.
He should also look into the "czars" that Democrats love. You have to be careful there however, when you give someone power to reduce government in general and their power in specifics a lot of people will not do so.

>>At he risk of pissing off a lot of people, Trump himself is not ideal either. But IMHO his good qualities outweigh the bad (and some are quite bad) more than any other Republican president we've ever had.
>>At this point, he's not even a candidate. He's almost a political martyr. You fight the war with the army you have, not the one you wish you had.
It doesn't piss me off, I just disagree. I think we sometimes tend to focus on individual issues instead of the big picture. As you noted with one of your links above Trump has a chance to be a truly historic president, a change agent. Those are few and far between.
Trump has helped create a movement that is now more powerful than the GOP it is replacing. His wins in Iowa and NH were historic for a non-incumbent and it's difficult to see him losing a single state in the primary. He has a chance to change the entire course of this nation from the narrow track the uniparty put us on and lead to a national rebirth on our founding principles.
No other president in my lifetime, not even Reagan, came close to attempting such an audacious goal and if he does it he should get his own mountain.

A few years ago SCOTUS ruled that immigration was for the Feds not the states, and theres's a logic to that. But who thought that the head of HHS would deliberately throw the border wide open.
What we're seeing is the largest mass movement of people in history within the space of a few years. What else would you call it other than an invasion. It'd be an Act of War except our leaders are complicit.
Now let's have the House impeach Mayorkas.
Before he lost a fight with a pillow, Scalia was poised to wtite the DACA opinion. Sua sponte, his draft included an admonishment that Obama faithfully execute the immigration laws we already had instead of writing his own by EO.

Apparently he wanted to but was "advised" against it as legally untenable. Vivek claims it can be legally done.
The legal way to get rid of GS labeled government employees is to accept their resignation after they are told they're being reassigned to Death Valley CA, or Dead Horse AK. The CIA is, by law, forbidden to operate in the US so moving their personnel to Thule Antarctica, or Benghazi is totally justified legally.

Yes, but this was only proposed three years into his term and, as I understand it, based on performance reviews, which would be subject to lawsuits. Vivek is talking about wholesale reductions -- 50% of workforce -- based on social security numbers, i.e., a mass layoff, exempt from allegations of political motive. And he proposed to do it as a first order of business.
Posted by: Ordinary American at January 25, 2024 08:31 AM (tf4XU)
Trump tried to do everything precisely. He, like many of us, believed that as long as he followed the existing rules faithfully that changes could be made.
A lot of people like to holler about how he didn't accomplish as much as we'd have liked but he was the point man who discovered a minefield. Who knew that the federal government who literally ignore a chief executive they didn't like?
Now we know. I suspect that this is, in some small part, why we're seeing pushback like we are from folks like Abbott. If you cannot get change from electing a reformer then more drastic measures must be taken.

Lee Zelden on Gutfeld. He's been on a couple of times since the word spilled out that Zelden was taking media lessons from the Trump camp. I find it interesting and I think that would make a great ticket. Lee looks like Pence and is relatively mild mannered, but he actually has a sense of humor, pretty funny dude which makes Pence look like a friggin mannequin in comparison. Plus Lee is Jewish, that might help with some of the lost tribe that hasn't figured out who actually hates their guts and who has their back come election day.

But now, the only way to respond to Abbott is to publicly admit that there IS a Big Problem, and that they have got to Do Something about it. They've never done that a single time, and so far they're paralyzed at the prospect.

223 The VP can be a stupid useless nothing (Kamala) or have a real portfolio. The VP has a staff and authority. Will Trump appoint someone who can use his/her staff and achieve tasks?

NEW - Elon Musk shows support for Texas: "This administration is deliberately breaking the law by aiding and abetting illegal immigration at an unprecedented scale."
Remember that the feds want to prosecute Elon for not hiring illegals into jobs at SpaceX where they're expressly forbidden for national security reasons.

"On Wednesday, Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX) called on President Biden to "seize" the Texas National Guard by calling them into Federal service"
Beto is also calling for this and is trending on X.
There are actually people on X calling for him to get a position in the Biden administration and run for governor again.
And election deniers saying Beto really beat Abbott and Cruz.

When Trump first ran I thought he had a long shot chance of winning NY for the same reasons that Zeldin almost picked off Hochul. NY would be like the rest of the country if Staten Island had as many people as Brooklyn.
OBama/ValJar have overplayed their hand with Illegal Immigration. It's uniting most of the rest of the country. Even NYC.
As this plays out, it will drive some to vote for Trump. Possibly more significantly, it will cause many NeverTrumpers to stay home, which in effect is half a vote for Trump

Morning Horde, thx JJ. Manchin calling on Biden to declare a national emergency over illegals shows he's either an idiot or complicit in the invasion. Does he not think that Biden and the totalitarian governors (Whitmer, Newsome , Hochul etc) wouldn't use such a declaration to crack down on regular Americans? That guy leaving politics can't come quickly enough

Stop enforcing law.
Complain that law doesn't work.
Write new laws so that money laundering can occur.

There's an interesting story brewing just below the surface that I hope gets more play going forward. Very early in Trump's administration there was a national security meeting where Trump's agenda as laid out. A military officer who attended the meeting and has not been formally identified claimed he heard two other attendees, one being Eric Ciameralla of the Ukraine hoax fame and the other being Sean Misko, openly saying they had to not just defy Trump's order but actively work to have him removed as president because they disagreed with his agenda.
The officer reported the conversation but apparently nothing of any real consequence happened to either. That's the level of treachery Trump faced from entrenched bureaucrats and intel agents.

Fools errand, I think.
Zeldin brings more, albeit small, knowledge of inner workings, has the respect of various factions in congress but more importantly, Trump knows he has Trump's back.
But NY? I thing things would have to materially get worse in NY. Much like here in Cali. People like their misery judging from their voting.

Same goes for political appointees and cabinet members.
Rotate people off the damn street if Congress won't accept the nominees. But stay as far away from the political class as possible.

I see why the administration doesn't know how to react - Biden's entire plan to deal with illegal immigration was to a) deny it was happening, and b) completely ignore anyone who pointed out it really was a problem. A complicit media made this easy.
But now, the only way to respond to Abbott is to publicly admit that there IS a Big Problem, and that they have got to Do Something about it. They've never done that a single time, and so far they're paralyzed at the prospect.

>>The officer reported the conversation but apparently nothing of any real consequence happened to either. That's the level of treachery Trump faced from entrenched bureaucrats and intel agents.
Well, Obama's FBI had already successfully taken out Flynn, who was picked by Trump specifically to come in and clean IC house. Sadly, not surprising now.

"Hamas Is the Last Thing This Secretly Failing Nation (South Africa) Should Spend Money On"
The trains don't run on time in South Africa, because the gangs steal the tracks. Lots of infrastructure is being destroyed by thieves stealing the raw metal, or other parts.
But they will no doubt Build Back Better -- after they kill the white farmers, as Saint Mandela sang about doing when released from prison. Will they be just another Zimbabwe ... just another nation of warring tribal factions? (like the globalists are trying to engineer for U.S.)

BUT . . . amnesty and crime are pissing everyone off and as I said, Zeldin came very close to pulling off the win.
If it forces the Dems to waste money and time even in NY, it may not be such a bad strategy.

The Republicans ran John C. Fremont in 1860 even though his father was foreign-born (French, I think).
Chester A. Arthur may not have been natural-born, either, as his parents were Canadian.

Many of them are millionaires. Vivek wants to be president someday. A significant place in Trump's administration would be a great way to earn recognition and support from the base over the next few years.

As far as I know. Mike Johnson, House Speaker is a Baptist Christian and a pro-lifer. I expect he invited there to be a Latin Mass in the Capitol because he knows that the FBI had been targeting people who attend the Latin Mass, but yes, may his faith in the Lord be strengthened as I hope and pray that for all fellow believers.

@328 LinusVanPelt-Too good to be true is why I was for Ted Cruz and not Donald Trump in 16'. Trump running on shutting down the border/immigration alone was enough for me to be suspect of him considering no Republican would dare campaign on that since the GOP/RNC considered it a kiss of death subject. I thought Trump would end up being a New York liberal in sheeps clothing.

In October 2022, the 11 pro-lifers were indicted by a federal grand jury after the Justice Department pursued charges against them arguing that there was conspiracy by the group to stop the women from accessing so-called “reproductive health care” and violating federal law ensuring access to abortion facilities.
Since the USSC has ruled that abortion is not a federal interest, how is the FACE statute constitutional? Is anyone challenging it?

Governor Abbott seems to have the right idea, but there are a lot of states where the ship-of-state needs righting as well. Maybe we're witnessing the start of an American renaissance. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Trash regardless of the cover.
Jewish Virtual Library, Joseph Goebbels: (In part) On The Big Lie “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its power to repress dissent for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie...
>Congress studied Presidential authority to put troops on American streets before January 6th, in fact - as per Brookings Research - 12/3020, only days before 1/6.
>AP (among others), Mar 3, 2021, 1/6 Senate Hearing, report: General: Pentagon hesitated on sending Guard to Capitol riot. (BUT, The Capitol Police indicated days earlier that they would not seek National Guard help, and in letters to Walker, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser laid out the city’s request for help & Guard member restrictions.)

>Alexandra Pelosi, documentary filmmaker for many years, followed her mother's positions in the House, not limited to on 1/6. While the tale of how she happened to be present 1/6 to capture the unusual footage of her mom, Pence and others has 'adapted,' she has produced both, "Pelosi in the House," released 12/22, and "The Insurrectionist Next Door, distributed by HBO, 10/23.
>And, as reported by WUSA9, Nov. 14, 2023: Capitol Riots,
Filmmaker who followed John Earle Sullivan into Capitol takes stand at trial. Jade Sacker, a photographer who was making a documentary about John Sullivan and his brother on Jan. 6, was called as a witness in his criminal trial. (Fascinating piece, imho.)
Stand with Israel; free ALL Hamas hostages, pray for IDF.
