Good morning kids. On a number of fronts, the Trump MAGA agenda is moving forward, despite all efforts by the anti-American Dems and their cohorts to derail it. First up, the CR that Trump has backed passed in the House and now it's on to the Senate. As I asked yesterday, does continuing to fund a federal leviathan at least like this with these CR's and not a real budget antithetical to MAGA and DOGE? It seems though on a positive note there is an actual spending freeze in the thing so some on our side are calling this a win. Elsewhere there are very strong numbers in the labor market and evidence that prices such as with eggs (the most visible and talked about item we've been pelted with by the propaganda machine as a supposed sign of Trump failing to deliver) have fallen significantly and rapidly.
Elsewhere, Shecky Zelensky, the clown corruptocrat president of Ukraine is now willing to agree to a ceasefire with Putin and Canada has also cried uncle vis a vis the trade spat as Ontario has suspended the electricity levy against us.
Meanwhile, Linda McMahon in her position as head of the Dept. of Education is already taking a bulldozer to the whole rotten edifice with immediate mass layoffs. And that seems to be the start of dismantling it lock stock and barrel.
And on a few stomach-turning fronts, the Democrats continue to do what Meathead Reiner has failed to do since Trump won his massive landslide victory last November, and that is set themselves on fire. But is it even possible for that which emanates from the Infernal reaches to set itself on fire in the first place. Only time will tell in the long run, but putting the hyperbole aside for a moment, we have the Democrats falling all over themselves defending a terrorist cheerleader and quite likely directly linked to terrorists themselves, in protesting his deportation.
Watching Democrats try on different arguments to thwart Donald Trump, I’m reminded of a story involving the late Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight.
After John Feinstein wrote an unflattering portrait of Knight, he responded by attacking the author mercilessly. In one barrage, Knight called him both “a whore and a pimp,” leading Feinstein to quip: “I wish he’d make up his mind so I’d know how to dress.”
So it is with Democrats as they search desperately for a way to rally the public against Trump.
Their only guiding light — to be against whatever he is for — is creating confusing contradictions and leading them ever deeper into political parody. Consider that the same members of Congress who refused to stand as Trump honored a child with cancer and families who lost loved ones to murderous illegal immigrants are now defending an Arab immigrant who is a leader of a group that sympathizes with terror organizations Hamas and Hezbollah and calls for the “end of Western civilization.” Defending him is a strange hill to die on, but the Dems have become a very strange party.
The suggestion that he’s a political prisoner led an astonished GOP senator, Tom Cotton, to respond by asking if it’s true “that Dems are fighting for a pro-Hamas foreigner who has made life hell for Jews on campus?”
Sadly, it is true, with House Dem Jamie Raskin confirming it with an outrageous attack on the White House.
The arrest of Khalil “is ripped straight from the authoritarian playbook,” Raskin said in a statement, and charged it proves Trump “is hellbent on wielding fear and intimidation as weapons to crush political dissent.”
Ho hum, another day in the crazy lane. The case is instructive for another reason, too.
Columbia anti-Israel agitator Mahmoud Khalil being deported over ‘pro-Hamas propaganda flyers,’ White House says Beyond the Dems’ madness, they and their lickspittle media are hell-bent on distorting the facts by echoing Khalil’s claim that he was just exercising his free speech rights. This is especially rich coming from the party that created cancel culture and defended the Biden junta's censorship regime on social media. . .
. . . Trump’s promise —
As Trump himself put it, his team “will not tolerate pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American” activity on college campuses. “We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country — never to return again.”
Emphasis mine, as it raises some very interesting questions, particularly who gets to decide what defines each of those things. As Justice Potter Stewart stated vis a vis obscenity, I'll know it when I see it. If you'v read my opinions here and elsewhere, you know where I stand on Democrats and Leftists. So I'm most curious as for President Trump to amplify his thoughts on what constitutes being "anti-American" and how to deal with that?! Believe me, everything wrong with this country has its root cause in our educational system dating back to John Dewey, the infestation of the refugees from "the Frankfurt school" like Marcuse and Adorno all the way up to Bill Ayers and his acolytes that resulted in garbage like the 1619 Project and Ibram X. Krement's hideous racialist Jive Kampf screeds being pumped into several generations of American kids' heads creating as Rush Limbaugh said "skulls full of mush."
The other aspect to the virulent opposition to giving this fiend the boot is that it "intersects" (SWIDT?) with the immigration issue, specifically finally getting serious about sealing the damn border and deporting en masse as many illegal aliens as we can round up. Something that hasn't been done in well over 60 or more years.
As we have pondered since the election, was that event the signal of a sea-change in the mindset of the American people and electorate? Or is the demise of the Democrat party, even those declaring it from within the movement itself premature, or what is really going on here?
Democrats are in deep, deep trouble, according to their own internal polling.
Politico’s Elena Schneider, revealing the Democrat numbers, wrote on Tuesday that the Democrat brand is in the gutter.
“The Democratic Party’s brand is in rough shape in the congressional battlegrounds,” Schneider wrote. “Nearly two months into the second Donald Trump administration, a majority of voters in battleground House districts still believe Democrats in Congress are ‘more focused on helping other people than people like me,’ according to an internal poll conducted by the Democrat group Navigator Research. Among independents, just 27 percent believe Democrats are focused on helping them, compared with 55 percent who said they’re focused on others.” Democrat pollster Molly Murphy is quoted in the Politico piece as saying while voters were somewhat critical of Trump in some spots, the Democrats have serious damage to fix with their own brand before voters trust them in government again. Murphy and others from Navigator, which is part of Democrat nonprofit the Hub Project, are expected to present these polling numbers to House Democrats in Leesburg, Virginia, at their Issues Conference later this week.
“The Democratic brand is still not where it needs to be in terms of core trust and understanding people’s challenges,” Murphy said. “Even though voters are critical about Trump and some of the things he’s doing, that criticism of Trump doesn’t translate into trust in Democrats. The trust has to be earned.”
What these people are not asking themselves is what is the Democrat "Brand" in the first place? It can't be supporting things that the majority of American people reject as insanity/depravity and/or declaring Trump to be literally Hitler, and that the Left are the defenders of "our precious democracy."
Of course, this kind of rhetoric is most unhelpful to their cause, yet still they persist:

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D., Mich.) suggested Tuesday that Americans elected President Donald Trump because the country is in its "angry teenage years" and voters' brains have not fully formed.
"I don’t think there’s anyone who feels like what’s going on right now is normal, even if you voted for Trump," Slotkin said on The View. "We’re about to turn 250 years old, right? We’re still pretty young for a country."
Yeah, keep it up genius. Filathy courveh.
