Well, look at the power that the current appointed officials are currently wielding. Look at the power that Elon is wielding. Now tell me that a Secretary RFK Jr is no threat whatsoever to do what he has sent his entire adult life trying t do. I dare you.


Ok. I’m telling you. There! I did it!

I’m not sure what Musk has done yet, actually. It’s early, but seems like all talk SO FAR.

Dude, do you even keep up on current events?

If I smoked the wacky-tabacky, I'd want what you're smoking. Or maybe all that FLA Sun has gone to your brain?

Now Canada blinks! Trump has had a killer day. Left wingers here are going to be up all night stewing.

Kamala is probably too drunk to see.


Chuck Chicken Little Schumer made a real ass out of himself yesterday. He was whining and crying and holding up cans of Mexican beer and Mexican cheese and Mexican avocados saying that that Trump is going to raise the prices on all this stuff and none of it was going to be available and he was going to crash the economy and poof, today it's all gone. Just like Trump knew it would be gone that's why he did it. The liberal press are a bunch of freaking morons, they had four years of Trump and they still don't understand how he works.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Trump made more progress on fixing the border in one day yesterday than Kamala did in 4 years! Didn't someone here claim she had "more experience" than Trump did during the campaign? The left wingers have not even noticed he shut off aid to South Africa because of their racist government land confiscations and other policies.

The guy is Teddy Roosevelt and Andrew Jackson rolled into one!

All the stuff so far is just show. We are stopping this funding…. until we reinstate it….. we are offering these early retirement buyouts…. until we aren’t…. we are getting rid of the penny…. later….. we are instituting these tariffs…. until we put them on hold the next day…
To me, it seems like Trump is governing by ‘trial balloon’ now.

Give us a month or two to see what actually sticks.

He didn't know how the deep state communist system works the first go around.

Like Bill Krystal and Lindsay Graham getting millions of USAID cash (taxpayers) for non-profits, etc.


The only things missing that I can see, are a small group of folks seem to be exempt and no one has been sent to prison yet.

Until those two items are checked-off, all is likely temporary and won't stick.

Trump Blinks on North American Tariffs

"None of this means the tariffs are some genius power play, as the Trump media chorus is boasting. The 25% border tax could return in a month if Mr. Trump is in the wrong mood, or if he doesn't like something the foreign leaders have said or done."

Seems like Mexico and Canada blinked, not Trump.

The richest guy in the world guts this organization as his first big move. You can't make this stuff up.

Likely he has found a bunch of skimming and misuse of funds.

Lefties think these organizations are all good and noble, spending money as the mission states they are. This agency looks like it is easily part of the poverty-industrial complex, but at an international level. At nearly $2 billion a year a the operating budget there is lots to skim.
