The one-two punch:


The best combo in history with supercomputers supporting them.

They're literally saving the world.


But he's not elected! :)

The chickens are running around the barnyard like their heads were cut-off.

It's possible they ate locoweed.

A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the Pentagon from implementing President Trump’s executive order that excludes transgender individuals from serving openly in the military, the latest legal setback for one of the administration’s policy priorities.

Judge Ana Reyes in Washington, D.C., ruled that the order likely violated the constitutional guarantee of equal protection and issued a preliminary injunction that halted it while litigation continues.

An executive order President Donald Trump signed on Friday, calling for the federal Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund and other agencies to be "eliminated," targets the economic lifeblood of America's rural communities.

When big banks turn away from small towns and rural communities—finding them unprofitable to serve—community banks step in to provide the credit and capital that families and small businesses desperately need. For three decades, many of these community banks have depended on the CDFI Fund, which enables them to serve the economically distressed communities that Wall Street won't lend to.

I wonder if this is true.

A federal judge slammed the Trump administration Monday for putting fired workers entitled to reinstatement on paid administrative leave, saying they should be back on their jobs immediately.

Judge William Alsup, of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, said in his order that putting workers on paid leave does nothing to fix the government services that were hurt due to the firings


Republicans, making sure government doesn't work.

No, of course not...duh...but that is NOT the issue here.


Of course it is not. The issue is losers like you hate Trump so much that no mater what he does must be wrong in your eyes.

This reminds me of when Trump was running against HRC. They asked ‘Joe in the street’ to assess certain proclamations Trump made, and they all berated Trump for saying them. Until the interviewer informed the citizens that it was actually Obama who said it…….

But to be fair, Trumps biggest campaign promises are only hitting 50-50. He’s trying to deport illegal criminal aliens. Check. He’s ending DEI costs to the government. Check. He’s helping Israel and targeting antisemitism far more than the Dems. Check. I’ll hold off on criticizing his Ukraine stances until next week after we see if there really is a cease fire. Tariffs- failure on so many levels. Economy…. doesn’t look like inflation is controlled. Fail. Haphazard Federal firings/program eliminations. Fail. Treating our foreign allies as allies. Fail. Stock market. FAIL.

Overall I’m not happy with how he’s handled things. But if push came to shove, I still think it’s better overall than same old/same old a Harris/Walz administration would have led to. And let’s be honest, he’s FAR more interesting!

I saw an old clip of Obama calling out the same kind of waste Trump has. Just that Obama never did anything about it.

Jury still out on tariffs and the economy. Economy has been a Potemkin Village under Biden. Lots of the "added jobs" were just government jobs.

On the federal "eliminations" I like it so far. People who say "use a scalpel not a chainsaw" in reality just want no cuts.

All in all I am happy so far.

What a lame attempt at deflection...kindergarten level, actually.

Sort of reminds me of an old law school adage from a professor:

"When the law is on your side, pound the law'

When the facts are on yours side, pound the facts;

But when NOTHING is on your side pound the table."

Well, learn. Nothing is on your side. Law is on Trump's side, activist judges notwithstanding.

Fact is Trump haters love criminal illegal aliens more than Americans.
