'MISERABLE': Watch as Dems in Congress blasted as 'demons' or 'gremlins' at Trump speech * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
'MISERABLE': Watch as Dems in Congress blasted as 'demons' or 'gremlins' at Trump speech * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
"Unfortunately, Congressional Democrats were too consumed by their own hatred of President Trump, refusing to show support for lowering taxes, fighting childhood cancer, capturing terrorists, protecting women and girls in sports, or law and order — to name only a few."
The White House statement noted the comment from former White House spokeswoman Dana Perino, now a network commentator, who said, "The Democratic Party still has no common sense. They have no ideas and they have no heart. They couldn't even stand for the most inspiring moments of the speech."
Should Government Spending Count as GDP? - by Peter St Onge
When we cut government waste, end useless wars, or deport welfare-case illegals, government statistics count it as making us poor. - Peter St OngeWhich is retarded.
Last Sunday Commerce Secretary Harold Lutnick told Maria Bartiromo the Commerce Department — who produces most government statistics — will start counting GDP breaking out government spending.
Partly for the above reason that GDP counts government spending instead of output.
But there’s a second reason: What government does produce is so bad.
Last Sunday Commerce Secretary Harold Lutnick told Maria Bartiromo the Commerce Department — who produces most government statistics — will start counting GDP breaking out government spending.
Last week Elon Musk posted that government spending shouldn't be included in GDP at all because "you could shift everyone who is building cars to working at the DMV and GDP would appear the same."How GDP is Calculated...
Musk is right. In fact, it could go up.
Because GDP counts output -- the market price of the car.
But for government there is no output with a market price. So, instead, government statisticians just add up the salaries and other costs.
That means you could close every car factory in America, give them high-paid government jobs looking out the window, and your GDP goes up.
Partly for the above reason that GDP counts government spending instead of output.
But there’s a second reason: What government does produce is so bad.
- Wars in Afghanistan, of course.
- But consider public schools in Chicago. They spend $28,702 per student -- a princely sum. Yet just 22% of Chicago 11th graders are "proficient" at reading. Just 18% are proficient in math. So you could make a very good case that Chicago school GDP isn't producing anything...
Makin up lies!-----Bill Nye “The Science Guy” said on CNN this morning that forest fires never used to happen in the Carolinas until now.
That sounds scary. Big, if true. - Chris Martz
“There's forest fires, wildfires in the Carolinas—that didn't used to be a thing, everybody.”
That sounds scary.
Big, if true.
But, had Nye done any actual research, he might be aware that his DNC talking points don't quite square with the facts.
The South Carolina@ForestryCommish (SCFC) has a wealth of information on their website.

The South Carolina@ForestryCommish (SCFC) has a wealth of information on their website.
Based on the last 30 years of data, ~3,000 fires break out in South Carolina each year.
About 18,000 acres are set ablaze annually.
229,908 acres of land burned in 1950 alone, the most in a single calendar year in the Palmetto state. Of the top 10 years with the most fire burn acreage, nine of them were prior to 1970 and seven of them were at least 70 years ago.
Annual fire burn acreage has decreased by 72.5% (1950-79 vs. 1994-2023)...
Success of Trump's address makes Democrats' desperate damage control all the more humiliating | Blaze Media
Success of Trump's address makes Democrats' desperate damage control all the more humiliating | Blaze Media:
Meanwhile, some legacy media omitted covering Slotkin's address altogether, including Politico Playbook and Punchbowl's morning newsletter. This is just further evidence that Trump's speech was another bright spot for Republicans and MAGA supporters across the country, and Democrats felt it.
New Data-Driven Analysis Shows Improper Payments Likely Far Worse Than Even DOGE claims
The official estimate from DOGE is $2.7 trillion being lost since 2003. - Mark Tapscott
That figure represents losses from improper payments made by both programs, which represent two of the top three most costly federal entitlement programs.
According to federal spending data, Social Security tops that list at $1.3 trillion annually, followed by Medicare at $848 billion and Medicaid at $805 billion, for a total of just less than $3 trillion annually.
According to federal spending data, Social Security tops that list at $1.3 trillion annually, followed by Medicare at $848 billion and Medicaid at $805 billion, for a total of just less than $3 trillion annually.
- But the situation may actually be even worse than indicated by DOGE...
- Officially, Medicaid issued $543 billion in improper payments from 2015 to 2024, but the actual total is almost certainly double that amount...

Don't buy Dems' lies: The GOP isn't stripping Medicaid from millions of Americans
Get ready to be bombarded with ghoulish ads warning about grandmothers dying and children denied needed cancer treatments “just to make billionaires like Elon Musk even richer.” - Betsy McCaughey 
The ads, paid for by a Democratic PAC, started running Monday.
And Monday night Democrats attending President Donald Trump’s speech to Congress held up paddles with the message “Save Medicaid.”
It’s demagoguery in full swing to combat Republican efforts to control federal spending on Medicaid and stabilize the nation’s debt...
It’s demagoguery in full swing to combat Republican efforts to control federal spending on Medicaid and stabilize the nation’s debt...
Gov. Kathy Hochul is claiming, “House Republicans just voted to rip health care away from up to 1.8 million New Yorkers — all to bankroll giveaways for billionaires.”...
These are lies. The needy are not going to lose their health care, and the demagogues know it.
- To control Medicaid spending, Republicans are calling for a “work requirement” for able-bodied adults without children or an elderly dependent...
India Issues Emergency Warning as Deaths Surge Among Covid-Vaxxed - Slay News

1900 Scientists Say ‘Climate Change Not Caused by CO2’ – The Real Environment Movement Was Hijacked
In 2018, a UN IPCC report even warned that ‘we have 12 years to save the Earth’, thus sending millions of people worldwide into a frenzy. - Reality BooksHowever, many scientists dispute with the UN-promoted man-made climate change theory, and many people worldwide are confused by the subject, or are unaware of the full facts.
Please allow me to provide some information you may not be aware of.
1. Very few people actually dig into the data, they simply accept the UN IPPC reports. Yet many highly respectable and distinguished scientists have done exactly that and found that the UN-promoted manmade climate change theory is seriously flawed. Are you aware that almost 2,000 of the world’s leading climate scientists and professionals in over 30 countries have signed a declaration that there is no climate emergency and have refuted the United Nations claims in relation to man-made climate change? See this...4. The reality is that the climate has always been changing, the climate changes naturally and slowly in its own cycle, and CO2 emissions (and methane from livestock, such as cows) are not dominant factors in climate change. In essence, therefore, the incessant UN, government, and corporate-media-produced climate hysteria in relation to CO2 emissions (and also methane from cows) has no scientific basis. It appears to me the UN narrative is yet another example of fake science being used to drive an ulterior agenda...

Trump strips millions from DEI foreign aid programs funding Irish musicals, LGBTQ programs in Serbia and more | Daily Mail Online
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) programs, meant to expand diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) objectives abroad, are now effectively killed under Trump's foreign aid freeze. - JON MICHAEL RAASCH
- One of the big ticket items that no longer will receive U.S. funding is a pro LGBTQ group in Serbia through a group called 'Grupa Izadji,' which in English translates to 'Group Come Out.' This NGO received $1.5 million from Biden's administration to 'advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities, by promoting economic empowerment of and opportunity for LGBTQI+ people in Serbia.'...
- The Irish DEI musical fund was approved specifically made to 'deliver a live musical event to promote the U.S. and Irish shared values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility,' according to the grant.
- Another one of these costly foreign aid funds approved under Biden's administration awarded $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam. Since the huge investment of U.S. taxpayer dollars there has been at least one battery station built, avoiding a total of 260 gallons of gas, according to the USAID website...
