Good morning kids. While President Trump's Tuesday night speech remains at or near the top of the heap of the news, it's not so much the speech (great as it was for content if not necessarily rhetorical majesty), but the stunningly atrocious behavior of the Democrats and their propagandist mouthpieces in the media during and afterwards. My advice to Democrats For Trump's next speech would be to Give AL Green the gay bath house urinal cake to chew on instead of Malig-Nancy Pelosi. It would keep his filthy cake-hole occupied with something other than emitting loud flatus. Well, his yammering and rude interruptions may bring about a vote of censure, or so I am seeing reported, for all the good that will do given who and what he is and represents, along with his entire party.
That a visceral and personal hatred of President Trump would make them sit on their hands for a poor 13-year-old boy suffering from brain cancer who Trump made an honorary Secret Service agent is petty, evil and revolting to a degree that leaves me without the words to describe it. Ditto when it was announced that the Islamikaze mastermind who orchestrated the hideous slaughter of 13 US servicemen in Afghanistan was captured. Considering Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants is technically an unindicted co-conspirator in their deaths for his dereliction of duty as C-in-C for the snap dugout that set the table for that unnecessary slaughter, well we can't have his dementia and greed-filled malfeasance exposed, right Jake Tapper?!
One of the biggest stars to emerge from Donald Trump's amazing speech on Tuesday night was DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old boy who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2018 and given just a few months to live. However, after 13 brain surgeries, he's survived the odds and, while he still suffers from some health issues, like advanced cataracts, and has dealt with terrible bullying in the past, he is thriving and enjoying life more than most healthy people I know. . . Because of this, the president and first lady invited DJ and his father, Theodis, to be guests at the president's address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, but Trump took it a step further and honored DJ as an honorary Secret Service agent. Secret Service Director Sean Curran himself presented DH with a badge in a moment that was about as heartwarming as it gets. Here's a video in case you missed it. It's best to grab some tissues before you watch [the video]. . .
. . . On Wednesday morning, DJ and Theodis appeared on "Fox & Friends," as well as their own local Houston Fox affiliate — the Daniel family lives in Houston, Texas — for interviews. During their interview with Fox 26 in Houston, DJ showed off his badge, while his father said he hopes their story inspires others. "We just have to turn something that most of us see as bad and tragic into something positive. We're supposed to be in the business of trying to inspire people to be a better version of themselves despite what you're going through," he said, adding, "He doesn't give up, he doesn't complain, he just gets out and does it with no excuses. Just stay positive, stay hopeful, and stay prayed up."
Stay prayed up, indeed. Sage advice for all of us.
On another note, While a solid majority of Americans supports this president in his efforts to make government accountable, a battle that has been ongoing for 200 years or more could potentially get a whole lot uglier. I'm referring to the turf war between the three official branches of government, and ironically it's about DOGE's attempt to rein in and if possible defang the unelected, unofficial and arguably unconstitutional fourth branch; the bureaucracy.
Despite, as we and legal eagles extraordinaire from Jonathan Turley, to Alan Dershowitz to William Jacobson and others have noted, Donald Trump as President and head of the Executive Branch indeed has the legal authority to rein in via allocation of funds and certainly the dismissal, piecemeal or en masse, of employees of the aforementioned. And yet, Cheap Justice Judas Roberts demonstrates his virtual Democrat-esque disdain for the very document and what it represents that he swore to preserve protect and defend. Ditto that Amy Coney Island Whitefish. What a total mistake she was.
The Supreme Court sided with a district court judge Wednesday who had ruled the Trump administration could not stop $2 billion in U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) payments to intended recipients. . . Legal scholar Jonathan Turley pointed out that the case could still emerge in the Trump administration’s favor, since the Supreme Court’s ruling only applied to the preliminary injunction, and not the final determination. . .
. . . Justice Samuel Alito led four conservative justices in dissent. In a blistering opinion, he said that district courts lacks the authority to order the payments, noting that once money is out the door, further appeals may be ineffective In a blistering opinion, Alito wrote that the Supreme Court is rewarding “an act of judicial hubris and imposes a $2 billion penalty on American taxpayers.”
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the three liberal justices to form a majority.
Roberts is now 2 for 2 in usurpation of power; First he rewrote Obamacare to make it Kosher thereby assuming the role of one-man Legislature, and now dictating/seizing executive branch power that he never had by denying it to President Trump.
So the qustion is, does PTOUS Trump have the wherewithal, from a technical/practical standpoint to ignore the ruling and simply cut off the funding? More crucially, does he have the stones to tell Roberts and the Court to go piss up rope? S0, what I'm asking is what would be the short term and of course long term political consequences to us and the nation should he actually do this? If we are in a post-Constitutional period, and with one side, the Democrats, using said document as a shield and cudgel, when not using it as toilet paper, Where do we go from here as a society, given perhaps as many as a third of the citizenry are full on board with destroying the nation as founded, for a litany of reasons.
Can the Republic as founded be restored, or even something that resembles it be created, one that preserves our rights while trying to prevent the cancer that tore it apart from re-emerging, if that is even possible, or are we destined to split? What cannot go on, will not. If the Department of Education and the propaganda brainwashing complex be dismantled, and we can have at least one or more generations of kids like DJ Daniel come up, then we have a chance.
This is not the first time that Massie has found himself opposing GOP leadership on fiscal grounds but the stakes are high as Congress seeks to pass a CR to fund government operations beyond March 14. . . The Kentucky Congressman also cited an unwillingness to fund the waste, fraud and abuse that has been uncovered by Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) efforts and the fact that there were suppose to be 12 separate funding bills to encourage transparency. Massie also is standing firm on the fact that Congress was told that the CR passed in December that funded the federal government through March 14 would allow the prioritizing of President Trump’s agenda via the checkbook.
Speaker Johnson told NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday: We’re looking to pass a clean CR to freeze funding at current levels [and] to make sure that the government can stay open while we begin to incorporate all these savings that we’re finding through the DOGE effort, and these other sources of revenue that President Trump’s policies are bringing the table.
Pfft.
And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
