Customs and Border Patrol is warning Ha
mas and Hezbollah operatives may be crossing the Southern border. Democrats say no policy change is needed.
2,000 Chinese nationals have crossed the Southern border. Democrats still say no change in policy is needed.
American troops came under attack in the Middle East and several dozen were injured last week. Iranian operatives are coordinating the attacks. We are only just finding out about the soldiers after Fox News inquiries to the Pentagon. The Biden Administration has shown so much weakness on Iran. Remember, they’ve allowed Iranian sympathizers and possible spies to stay in the administration, setting policy.
In Washington, ABC News reports Mark Meadows got immunity from Special Prosecutor Jack Smith and testified he told Trump repeated the election was not stolen. Meadows’ lawyer is disputing ABC’s report, but won’t specifically say what part they dispute.
Trump still dominates the GOP polling for the primary. His lawyer, Jenna Ellis, pled guilty yesterday and agreed to testify against him. Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell have as well. More plea deals are coming in the Georgia case.
Siena College, one of the pollsters to get both 2020 and 2022 dialed in, has Biden beating Trump despite the public despising both of them.
And Republicans seem intent on nominating Trump. His voters are convinced he can win. He actually might be able to, given the Electoral College. The same Siene College has Biden beating Trump in New York, but under fifty percent.
But the world is going to hell in a hand basket. Iran, China, and Russia are becoming more aggressive. And I’m not sure we should trade an 80 year old for a 78 year old when his brand of Republican candidate is losing suburban areas the GOP must win. Sure, they’ll win Tennessee. But Georgia is no sure thing. They need Georgia to win.
Trump is alienating to everyone except his ardent fans and his ardent fans are convinced people will hold their noses and vote for the man.
It is a risky bet as the world starts to burn and Trump is bogged down in courts and paying lawyers. It is a risky bet — all for not more than four years in office when any other Republican could potentially get eight to put out all the fires. It is a risky bet when, to get him across the finish line, the GOP will have to spend so much money that it might cost them the Senate.
Meanwhile, in Washington, the GOP has a new dead man walking — Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana. We’ll find out later today if he has the votes, which does not seem likely. It is notable that Matt Gaetz supported Tom Emmer, despite Emmer being more moderate than McCarthy and despite Trump’s opposition. But that didn’t work out. Johnson, at least, is a conservative and a likable guy.
Americans want grown ups and both parties are offering geriatrics and children. The nation gets what it votes for as crises grow around us. Keep up the good work, everybody. No need to be serious when we can just nurse grudges, scratch itches, and tickle our ears.
You know Erick I’d like you to do an article about the many, many things Trump and his administration did that was positive for this country especially what he accomplished with our foreign policy. Most of the good things he did was never lauded by the media and was overlooked, and so many people don’t even know about them. All of the negative in the media and with the Democrats about Trump are not true but because the media writes about it, the general public thinks it is. And now with the planned pile up of lawsuits by the judicial system right before election season and yet people still can’t see the left’s strategy to get rid of Trump. Now is the time, for the true conservatives to backTrump, not dump him. Prove to the Democrats that we aren’t just sheep, that we can see through their thin veneer of evil.
The world is going to hell in a handbasket because of the people that voted in 2020 for a geriatric managerial class puppet that today would not qualify for employment as a Walmart greeter.
The continued legal/judicial attacks against Trump, his campaign people and his supporters are both disgusting in how so called conservatives and those claiming to be against government tyranny celebrate it, and telling in why Trump remains the front-runner in the GOP field.
If never-Trumpers want to understand why the House GOP cannot come together to elect a speaker, then look in the mirror. The Democrats threatening to destroy the finances of people working on the Trump campaign to get them to "confess" is the stuff of a tyrannical banana republic.
Here is a related consideration NOBODY... ABSOLUTELY NOBODY HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE FAKE TRUMP-RUSSIAN COLLUSION HOAX THAT WAS THE DIRTIEST AND MOST CORRUPT ABUSE OF GOVERNMENT POWER FOR POLITICS THAT THE US HAD EVER EXPERIENCED!
Russiagate, the unfair treatement of Jan-6 protestors (like the Canadian Truckers) and these corrupt trials in Georgia... all combined with the rest of the US and world declining in chaos are creating a perfect storm for a justification of retaliatory tyranny that someone like me is going to have a very hard time objecting to.
