Good morning kids, and let me wish all of you a happy Independence Day and God bless America on its 249th birthday.
Of course the top story of the day is the passage of this so-called Big Beautiful Bill by the House. And President Trump is set to sign it into law some time today. Regardless of my personal feelings about government spending, the President is boasting that in the end, passage will supercharge an already recovering economy,
“There could be no better birthday present for America than the phenomenal victory we achieved just hours ago when Congress passed the One Big, Beautiful Bill to Make America Great Again,” said Trump. “In the last election, the people gave us a historic mandate to cut taxes, raise take-home pay, bring back jobs, stop the invasion … deport the illegals, and slash hundreds of billions of dollars of waste and fraud, and that’s what we’re doing.”
“With this bill, every major promise I made to the people of Iowa in 2024 became a promise kept,” he added.
Obviously, it remains to be seen what real, tangible positive effects will be to the average citizen. And those will shake out over the long term. Of course, the reactions on Wall Street and Main Street will be quicker as they make moves to adjust and adapt to undergird their bottom lines to government regulations and (even better, deregulation) that could affect their ability to invest, create jobs and make a profit.
With all that said, the real tell are the reactions from both the Democrats and their propagandists in the media. The hyperbole, has been completely off the charts, and these are the people (on paper) that created the disgusting and puerile agitprop porn of Paul Ryan shoving granny in a wheelchair off of a cliff.
President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill will cause people to die.
Wait, Democrats for decades have been taxing and spending us into oblivion. So on the one hand they're suddenly fiscal hawks while at the same time claiming that a massive spending bill will cause people to die?
And from a political standpoint, we have this
CNN analyst Paul Begala said Thursday on “Anderson Cooper 360” that the “Big, Beautiful Bill” was a “political death warrant” that will cause the Republican Party to lose the majority in the 2026 midterm elections. Begala said, “Hakeem Jeffries gave the Democrats a voice today. He set the new record for a speech in the House. They don’t have filibusters in the House, but they have this rule that allows the leader to speak pretty much unlimited. So he went on for hours, and he focused on Medicaid, focused on health care.”
Is it just me, or did you read "CNN analyst" as CNN Anal-Cyst.
Maybe he didn't listen quite closely to Hakeem who stated unequivocally:
If Big Beautiful Bill Passes, a ‘Deportation Machine Will Be Unleashed on Steroids’
Uh, if Hakeem Jeffries is right then guess what, the Democrats will be wiped out electorally for the foreseeable future! Please God let Hakeem be right. The GOP base will be energized and millions of illegal aliens gone not only improves society and our economy, it protects future elections and perhaps will prevent Texas' 38 electoral votes from shifting to the communists forever.
The dissonance between Jeffries and Begala is quite stunning. And that Jeffries would be stupid enough to articulate a position that is music to the ears of the vast majority of Americans is amazing. I think they need to show MAGA-hat wearing Ron DeSantis with a swastika armband throwing little brown babies into a pond of alligators. The Paul Ryan as Tommy Udo schtick is getting stale.
“I didn’t vote for him and I’m not always aligned with his approach, but his success on the domestic and international front in such a compressed period of time is nothing short of remarkable and it’s all due to his impressive use of political and executive power,” Michael LaRosa, a former Biden White House spokesman, told The Post. “The last two weeks of his presidency are a throwback to the strong leadership styles reminiscent of LBJ or Reagan, both of whom engendered such personal and political loyalty within their parties, that they could muscle through historic success out of sheer goodwill.” A different Biden White House official, who served all four years in the Democratic administration, said Trump has “hit a stride” and marveled at his ability to pressure holdout Republicans into voting for the major legislation despite centrist reluctance over Medicaid and SNAP cuts and conservative demands for deeper spending reductions. . .
. . . “You voted for it because you’re scared of the guy. And frankly, that’s impressive, given that Biden never invoked fear in anyone,” the former Biden aide said of the GOP holdouts, all but two of whom eventually backed the bill.
“Successful campaigns and successful operations excel when they are provided clarity in mission from their leader — in this case President Trump,” said Chris LaCivita, who ran Trump’s 2024 campaign alongside current White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.
“Elections matter because you now have one of the greatest realignments in political history happening and being backed up by policy. If you work, pay taxes and aspire for a better tomorrow, you are voting Republican,” LaCivita said, describing the working-class reforms encompassed in the bill, which also made permanent Trump’s 2017 tax cuts to all brackets.
When even two Songe-Brain Shits-Pants stooges praise Trump, with the faintest of damnation, that kind of says something.
Finally, You'll be shocked to know that rising Democrat Superstar Mamdani lied about being an abeed, as my Syrian friends from Brooklyn would say, in order to get into Columbia. Jeez, Obama 2.0 in more ways than one! Lord forbid.
On a bit of a positive note, SCOTUS has smacked down the lower courts' overreach and ruled the President can deport criminal illegals to places like Sudan.
