Pretty safe to say by any measure and by anyone doing the measuring - love him or hate him, @realDonaldTrump has engineered a series of actions, policies and initiatives which have resulted in a remarkable number of positive results for the U.S. and the world in a very short...
...period of time. Conservatives see it and appreciate it, while Dems/media do everything they can to downplay or distract from it, but it is nonetheless remarkable.
Not discussed nearly enough - the energy and vigor of this Biden-aged man. Not a word or story from mainstream...
...media - either on its own or in comparison to Biden's schedule and personal engagement in each issue - of the whirling dervish energy of the old man running the country.
The SCOTUS rulings, policies, military decisions, tax and spending initiatives, tariffs, border...
...security, foreign policy and relations initiatives, domestic anti-racism, anti-DEI policies and any number of additional accomplishments well within his first year in office are notable for not only their clarity of purpose - to protect, defend and ensure the prosperity...
...of our country - but also for the depths to which our president has immersed himself in each of these issues. He's running the country - every aspect of it. Democrats and media call it authoritarian. The rest of the country and the world recognize it for what it is...
...an astonishing display of dedication to the stated mission of making American great while helping the rest of the world follow suit.
It's been a great week for America and the world in any number of ways. You won't hear this on cable news or read it in mainstream...
...publications, as that is a shameful, embarrassing legacy even Donald Trump cannot repair, but the people see it, know it and appreciate it.

This perverse construct being narrated by the media and Dem politicians - that people have no agency and simply can't help themselves but become violent and feel the necessity to loot convenience stores at the sight of the National Guard - is precisely the messaging that...
...created the permissive environment in which these rioters willfully and enthusiastically break laws, destroy property and obstruct the normal course of life for the law-abiding citizenry going about their daily business.
It is truly maddening to watch a squad of cable...
...news anchors and their hyperbolic toy poodle guests spout this bizarre, sympathetic embracement of violent and/or obstructive incivility, knowing (as do they) that their sentiments are 100% subjective. Were this to be crowds of conservatives protesting California's...
The radio host who interviewed Biden two days ago - Andrea Lawful-Sanders - just told @CNN that the White House sent her 8 questions in advance and she picked four of the 8 WH questions to ask Biden during the interview.
Note that in response to one of the questions advanced by the WH Biden said that a 90-minute debate doesn't define "3.5 years" of performance. Not "3 and a half years" as he and others have said when running through talking points. "3.5" - like it's written on the answer card.
Here are the questions the WH provided to Ms. Lawful-Sanders to ask Biden during the interview:
1. ANDREA LAWFUL-SANDERS: "It’s also– the honor is all mine. So I have a few questions for you.
The first one is a lot of people are talking about the debate and your performance. Is there any reason for the American people to be concerned?"
One would be forgiven for assuming 100 reporters had a live-feed to Trump's Oval Office, personified through "sources close" and "sources with knowledge" - real or imagined (@Acosta) - dishing daily scoops.
3.5 years of Biden's WH under a seemingly impenetrable blanket and...
...suddenly we find journalists journalizing. What could possibly have prompted such a serendipitous influx of "sources close" to the Biden WH? And - imagine this - these brand new, never-before-reporting, out-of-the-woodwork insiders are astonished at Biden's decline.
They had no idea he was in such a state of cognitive decline. I mean, how could they possibly have known? "Is that why they started making us walk with him out to the chopper? Ahhh...now I see it. Those clever bastards. I would've reached out earlier if I saw anything but...
Folks - asking your indulgence for a personal matter. I spent the weekend in New Jersey attending the funeral of the 20-year-old son of one of my dearest friends on earth, Jim Beale - no relation, but I appropriated his last name for my pseudonym as an homage to our 30 or so...
...years of friendship. Jim's son, Sam Beale, died in a tragic one-car accident on a NJ highway Sunday, April 16. Sam's mother, Nicole Jesmer, is also a dear friend of 30+ years. We all met while stationed at the 513th Military Intelligence Brigade at Ft. Gordon, Georgia...

Did he say that the Senate Majority Leader and Speaker of the House rejected Rick Scott's plan and similar statements by a handful of Republicans? Nope - that's not "what Biden said tonight." What Biden said was what his administration and Dems have been saying for months,...
...that "Republicans want to take away your Social Security and Medicare and we won't allow it." Despite the Herculean efforts of Dems and media to spin it as a brilliant display of negotiation by Biden, what actually occurred was the Republicans in the chamber rose up against...
...the lie that the party intended to cut SS & Medicare and ruined Biden's scripted rant promising to veto the imaginary legislation. He didn't negotiate - he got publicly rebuked for trying to tell that lie in front of the entire party and pretended their refusal to allow him...
This, my friends, is what we call a lie of omission. It's of a piece with "I created 11 million jobs." Both statements are attempts to spread disinformation - the same disinformation Biden and his party claim to be the biggest threat to Democracy and ascribe exclusively to...
..."far-right ultra-MAGA Republicans." Every time Biden or anyone in the Dem party say he created 11 million jobs but fail to acknowledge that 90 or more percent of those jobs were simply re-filling the jobs temporarily lost during the pandemic shutdown and reclaimed once...
...businesses re-opened, they're systematically spreading disinformation. This tweet by Biden omits the obvious context that would ruin the "Republicans want to make you 30% poorer" narrative - that the increase in sales tax would follow the elimination of income, payroll, SS &
