The folks who told us everything was fine under Biden are now saying that everything Trump is doing is catastrophic. As his polling grows more positive. Where do these people come from?

1.1 months. 1 month and 3 days And it’s all to the good. Many of the most important positions have been filled with impressive leaders. The interest rate has started lowering a little. It’s only a matter of time before egg prices start falling. What will the dimocrats complain about then?

Announcer last night was calling Lachlan McNeil Lock chan.

A good read from John Yoo https://www.civitasinstitute.org/research/breaking-watergates-hold-on-the-presidency Breaking Watergate’s Hold on the Presidency President Trump's flurry of executive orders represents the most aggressive phase of the campaign against the dysfunctional administrative state. Trump does not mean solely to turn back the clock to the “halcyon,” pre-Watergate days of the Imperial Presidency. A President who wants to shut down the Department of Education and hand its responsibilities off to the states is not seeking to concentrate more power within the Executive branch. If Trump succeeds, the federal government's elected branches will re-acquire lost powers. Trump aims not to eviscerate congressional power but to restore a lost sense of congressional responsibility. Unelected and unresponsive bureaucrats should not make the hard decisions in domestic policy but, again, should return to popularly elected representatives. At the same time, the President, too, would no longer be saddled with a recalcitrant bureaucracy. The civil service will understand that it exists to carry out the President’s and Congress’s policies, not to pursue an agenda of its own. Trump wants the right-sizing of the Administrative state, and certainly not its expansion. His aim, as we see it, is not to accrue power to the executive but to see that power flows through its proper channels. That is a goal worth fighting for.

Haha, no, but I might also point out that Buchanon wrestled Surber’s backup to a 2-0 decision at the Soldier Salute.

Starlink. I was talking about about starlink, and how much it helped hurricane victims when Elon donated the equipment and services to them.

Now things will start falling into place.

We? Who’s we?

Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.

No, I’m confusing Buchanon with Barr. When I look at the results between Buchanon, Barr, Little, Salazar, and Surber, Surber looks as strong as Buchanon.

I’m on the Surber bandwagon. To me, Surber looked more dominant over Stephen Little than Buchanon, and Buchanon had a slim victory over Salazar, who Plott majored at NCAAs last year.

“Game changer” for North Carolina, too.

Somewhere there’s a 300 year old woman who’s losing her social security and it’s all Elon’s fault.

Dimocrats are doubling down on everything that lost them the election, and they’re losing support every day.

These bombs and equipment were designated by legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President, but denied by Biden. https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2025/02/16/heavy-bombs-withheld-by-biden-arrive-in-israel-thanks-to-trump/

Still going with the “it’s against the law to not waste money” theme, huh?

But did Mitch McConnell vote for him?

Here’s an article that explains a bit: https://thefederalist.com/2025/02/14/why-education-experience-makes-an-education-secretary-worse/
