1) All right, let's talk France. During the China Virus, how many of you screamed at your TVs or whatever that Canada and Australia were dictatorial tyrannies? "Aren't they democracies?" you shouted.
2) Yes, but they ain't a "democracy" like we are.
3) There are two realities here. First reality is that the United States is an EXCEPTIONAL NATION, contrary to what Zero said. Why?
4) Because we have the "Four Pillars of American Exceptionalism." These are all in "Patriot's History of the United States" but I'll discuss 2.

1) Folks, maybe it's cuz I put down my pal of 13 years this morning, but I have freakin' had it with the approach of the Rs on the Hill, and even to some degree with the Trump sergeants.
2) THERE IS NO HEGSETH/WALZ SCANDAL. There is a Cankles scandal. There is a Rutabaga scandal
3) Not one question from anyone on this should be entertained. NOT ONE. If someone in private needs to be dealt with for adding a spoogepoodle from "The Atlantic," whatever the hell that is, to a text list, fine. Do it and keep moving.

1) Remember Donald Rumsfeld? "The Enemy Always Gets a Vote." Trump (Patton) has run roughshod over the DemoKKKrats for more than two months. They finally came upon a strategy to slow him down.
2) The judges have 2 goals: obviously stop some of the measures, but also . . .
2) contd . . . to TIE UP THE DOJ's lawyers writing counter briefs so they can't aggressively go after the criminals in the Rutabaga administration.
3) When you ask, "What is Bondi doing?" my guess is that 24/7 her staff is absorbed with researching and countering judges.

1) I do NOT agree with anything most of these fecal-wrapped moronburgers of judges are doing. However . . .
2) If you read Shipwreckedcrew's substack
which I covered in my podcast yesterday, you'd know Trump is playing the "long game."substack.com/home/post/p-15…3) PART . . . not all, but part . . . of that is an expectation that many of the newly vacated POSITIONS will be filled, but by MAGA/America First people.
4) A judge may say "You must rehire," but you can't rehire someone who is gone. Many--not all, but a lot---cannot . . .

1) So let's review where the DemoKKKrats are after the passage of a couple of more weeks.
2) They are down two more in the House (deaths). Yes, ultimately those will be replaced in special elections--likely D, but you never know. Meanwhile, they are -2 since Nov.
3) By my count they have lost 3/4 special elections at various levels in two months. As @Peoples_Pundit points out specials aren't always predictive, but as another data point, this doesn't look good for DemoKKKrats.

1) Little story about a small meeting some of us had prior to 2022 with Con Andy Biggs. I love Andy. Voted for him & donated.
2) In that meeting we stated the obvious: Rs would win the House, but not a supermajority to override Rutabaga in either house.
3) We asked, "You will only have two powers. Impeachment and gubment shut down. We know impeachment is useless because we don't have nearly the votes in the Senate, so . . .
ARE YOU (Rs) READY TO SHUT DOWN THE GUBMENT?"
4) He just stared at me in a resigned face, meaning . . .

1) The ignorance of the wording here is mind boggling.
2) First, the EU is not a "country" but a loose alliance NEVER tested in battle.
3) To see how these do, look at the campaigns of Napoleon. When defeat came (as it will) they immediately sprinted for their homelands.
4) The ONLY thing that saved them, repeatedly, was that Napoleon got distracted by useless Britain, which could only harm him at sea, and the massive Russkie army.

1) As you know, I see it as one of my chief jobs here (as Rush used to do with audio footage) to read Libtoids' comments. But not the nuts. I read the more "commonsense" or so-called "moderates" such as "liberal patriot" or Matthew Yglesias.
2) These observers KNOW the DemoKKKrats are in huge trouble. For three months they have been screaming at DemoKKKrats to dump woke, to try to appear like they even want to solve a problem, and to find some way to attract working class voters.

For any scabpickle that wants to talk about "Trump's losing support," and cites a meaningless poll that in 2024 wasn't within 5 points of the final, maybe you should consider some real world numbers:
*Polls are turnip poop. All that matters as I've said forever are registrations.
2) SINCE NOVEMBER, you know, the election,
*Arizona went from Maricopa Co, the hotbed of MAGA/GOP having a 6.2% lead to now having a 7.2% lead. Pima, which is the hotbed of DEMOKKKRATS, dropped from +11 in November to +8.2.
*Pennsylvania now is about D+180,000. in 2016 D+1.1m

1) First 40 days overperformer/underperformer grades
*OVERPERFORMER: Muy Macho Marco. I never would have believed Rubio would be this effective. Compare his success to that CEO numbskull Tillerson. Wow.
*OVERPERFORMER: Lee Zeldin. I love it when the EPA guy says to Trump, .. .
1) contd . . . "Hey, consider yanking this definition and that regulation, too!"
*OVERPERFORMER: Chris Wright. He has completely reshaped the DoE to actually encourage energy production
2) UNDERPERFORMER: Jury's still out, but while Pam Bondi has written good briefs . . .

1) I am convinced that so far neither the GOP nor the DemoKKKrats realize what is about to happen to the DemoKKKrat Party. Both, really, are business as usual.
2) As the data in FL showed, there were 600,000 ballots mailed out (under DeSantis's watch, BTW) that went to . . .
2) contd . . . dead people, multiple people with the same SS #, missing, moved, etc.
3) 600,000
4) Now, this won't affect much in FL with its 1m GOP advantage.
5) This is all from SS data that is going to be scrubbed under DOGE.

1) The love affair with Jackson among MAGA is way, way misplaced. My doctoral disseratation was on Jackson and the banks. Contrary to popular opinion, Jackson was not opposed to the BUS.
2) In fact, he tasked his SecTreas, Levi Woodbury, with building an EXACT DUPLICATE.
3) Difference was, "his" central bank was going to be under DemoKKKrat control.
4) The Jeffersonians folded into the Madisonians with Monroe, a truly great president.
5) Jackson was completely a-constitutional. He ignored the courts . . . only when it suited him.

1) I hope this thread will be informative. I spent some time talking with a former GOP very high up congressman about the appropriations/budget process & what Trump is doing.
2) Now, before I get rolling, let me remind you my longer writings are at substack Larry Schweikart
3) And I can always use another coffee if you "Buy Larry a Coffee" here.
4) Ok, USUALLY the appropriations process and the authorization process take place simultaneously. Congresses are expected to write budgets by early summer, reconcile in Fall.buymeacoffee.com/larrys

1) There are several forces already aligning against the DemoKKKrats in 2026.
2) The really good news is that they neither see, nor understand, any of them.
3) First, they are on track for a massive fundraising shortage---an area where D congressional & senate candidates . . .
3) contd . . . almost always have not just an edge, but a BIG edge.
4) Why? Their slush money via USAID and NGOs just dried up. Hundreds of millions of slushy dollars will be absent from their coffers.
5) Moreover, their competence in the last campaign has caused donors to . .

1) Tina Smith's announcement that she won't run for reelection in what should be a somewhat favorable DemoKKKrat year speaks volumes.
2) It confirms that what we are seeing in the voter registration wave toward Rs is REAL and WIDESPREAD.
3) It further confirms that DemoKKKrats are skeeered, even though TRUMP WON"T BE ON THE BALLOT.
4) It "seems" to confirm that they believe things will be SUBSTANTIALLY better in 2026, meaning their little minion data workers are telling them they are in trouble.

1) I see a lot of the predictable nervous Nellies warning that "Trump has to do something about inflation." He has been in for one month. NOTHING changes that quickly.
2) Reagan came in with a rate of over 9% from Jesus Carter. By 1983, late, he had it to 4.3%.
3) It continued to fall steadily, hitting a low of 3.5%. During one quarter in 1982, however, Reagan had it at zero, but that was highly unusual.
4) The first thing that will happen is that as the energy sector comes alive, all immediate fuel prices should begin to fall.

1) More from Zen Master. Realize he is a student of the courts with respect for the legal system. He is not fond of using "Lawfare" by either side.
2) Trump will for now comply or do workarounds with court orders while appealing.
3) No chance in appeal to 1st & 5th Circuits
4) Those are "leftist bastions," as he calls them.
5) Will go to the Supes.
6) How fast? "Some will get expedited, but others could take longer."

1) The death of USAID is the tip of the iceberg. It has major implications throughout the electoral process.
2) Just to even TRY to replace these spigots would take years. And that's only IF the Trump administration allows them to take root again, which I doubt.
3) The instability caused by the DemoKKKrat goatstompers sudden INABILITY to get free money, free publicity via Politico, free obstruction for GOP programs via death of this evil org---all this makes their campaigns much harder.

1) I've been asked to do a thread on tariffs. Not wussing out, just letting you know it's complicated because of differentials in nations' imports/exports and the nature of products hit with a tariff (some are selective, some "everything Canadian").
2) Obviously--and you'd expect no less--a little history.
3) Tariffs were a part of the original George Washington administration and part of Alexander Hamilton's fiscal policy. I know a lot of libertarian types hate ol Al, but he was a genius.

1) Well, it took them a week, but one leftist source finally figured out what's happening.
2) Axios noted that Trump was moving so fast, on so many fronts, the leftoids have been unable to formulate a defense.
axios.com/2025/01/26/tru…3) This is nothing new. When I visited Steve Bannon in his own little war room in the Exec Office Building in 2017, he had his whiteboard with the same strategy.
4) The difference, of course, was that in 2017 Trump did not have anywhere near the supportive infrastructure.

1) I know there are a lot of people saying, "What Trump is doing is great but most of it is exec orders that another president can nullify"
2) True much is, false that others can reverse.
3) First, realize that we are in an era where tha House has committed suicide.
4) It is going to be nearly impossible for ANY other president to get actual, meaningful laws passed until or unless the House does its fundamental job of PASSING A BUDGET.
5) Until they do that, most of their other work is meaningless.
