I think I can think of one.

This was a huge win that didn’t draw many remarks here: ”The choice of Caine shows the president’s preference for irregular warfare and special operations: Caine was among a group of military leaders who met with the president in December 2018 at the Al Asad airbase in Iraq. Trump was there to deliver a Christmas message and hear from commanders on the ground, and there Caine told Trump they could defeat ISIS quickly with a surge of resources and a lifting of restrictions on engagement. ” https://www.foxnews.com/politics/who-daniel-razin-caine-tapped-top-advisor-role-pentagon-upheaval-joint-chiefs-of-staff-chairman

Another win last night. Movement against the dimocrat judicial insurrection. Supreme Court briefly pauses order for Trump admin to imminently release foreign aid https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5166335-supreme-court-pauses-order-trump-foreign-aid/amp/

I think there should be work requirements for pscychogonigin.

Agreed

Public service unions are subversive.

I imagine the front page will maintain its status as the Langley Bugle. We’ll have to see how Americanized the opinion page gets.

Had to happen, eventually.

Burchett said those were the things in the bill that made it bearable for him to vote for it.

UTI

I noticed that Kash Patel got his start as a public defender in Florida.

Another good article. We’ve got a conundrum. We have people here who want to drastically cut defense spending when the larger, stupider budget item is servicing the debt - one trillion a year for interest. Someone thinks it’s our responsibility to pay $50 million a year for condoms to prevent HIV among a population that won’t exercise their own initiative to prevent a disease that has known causes for decades. Then in other parts of the world we spend millions to promote the activities that cause the disease. We need a Congress that spends only the money they collect on only the programs that make sense. We’ve already got the President.

It’s like the dimocrats all contracted a UTI on inauguration day. Been pissin’ and moanin’ ever since.

I don’t think Jimmy’s tall enough for the weight?

Can you follow simple written instructions?

She flipped her wig.

The reason for the high cost of eggs isn’t inflation. The Trump adm. is moving to alleviate the irresponsible slaughter of chickens, which will bring their prices back to normal.

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.
