Lots here!-----Winning, winning, winning - Don Surber

President Trump once said we would win so much that we would tire of winning

• Final passage of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill likely will come in the fourth month of his second presidency despite majorities in the House and Senate that are so slim they make Twiggy look fat.

Obama needed 15 months to pass Obamacare despite overwhelming majorities in both houses, including a filibuster-proof Senate.

• Then there is the tariff war. Yesterday, I said, “World cheers Trump's 10% tariff.”

The media spun it into a loss. The media still believes in Russiagate, the Insurrection and that was just a loud noise in Butler last July. 

No sensible person believes the media narratives these days.
Jacktron tweeted, “China is not gonna win this. Trump has had four years to plan this out. All the other countries are caving and China will be the only one left...

• AP reported breathlessly, “China is reaching out to other nations as the U.S. layers on more tariffs in what appears to be an attempt to form a united front to compel Washington to retreat. Days into the effort, it's meeting only partial success with many countries unwilling to ally with the main target of President Donald Trump's trade war.”
• Where has AP been? Red China has been doing that for ages now. After 25 years, its BRICS house has 10 members—Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates...

#1 This day 1977-----David Soul - Don't Give Up On Us

If you are surprised at the actions of both American and international leftists, you really shouldn’t be. Leftists gonna leftist.

Michael Smith - The only surprise might be how close American Democrats are to the Soviet era communists in behaviors and beliefs and that they lack the self-awareness to see it.

Even now, as the Trump administration works to strip the Orwellian thought crimes that DEI policies created, Democrat controlled states are working overtime to codify them into state law. 

• For example, a Colorado House Committee has voted 7-4 to pass a radical transgender bill that makes "misgendering" a "discriminatory act," takes children away from parents who "deadname" or "misgender," and pushes gender ideology in all schools, including private and charter. It essentially makes children victims of child abuse if parents refuse to go along with their child’s gender dysphoria.
• The UK has become a hell hole of authoritarian and dystopian insanity. While cheering the banning of ninja swords, people are being arrested for social media posts and a four-year-old toddler was just expelled from school for being “transphobic”.
• In a nod to third-world dictators the left in America has sent their shock troops into the streets to bomb Tesla dealerships, set fire to the cars, while the less adventurous soldiers merely key the cars or paint swastikas on them...

Worth your time!-----“Reversing the Endangerment Finding: Burying the Union of Concerned Scientists Case Against It”, By STEVE MILLOY

“Science isn’t conducted by consensus nor is there anything authoritative about so-called “climate science.” 

No climate model has correct predicted anything. No climate prediction has ever come true.” -From JunkScience

The Trump EPA is planning to reconsider the 2009 Obama EPA Endangerment Finding (EF) that labeled greenhouse gas emissions as a threat to public health. 

Here is the first effort [Web | PDF] by a leftist group against that. Let’s take a look at it, line-by line with my comments [bracketed in bold]...

 

But now they can vote...

'Can't Make This Up': Ernst Explains Absurd Response of Some Fed Workers Ordered to Return to Office By Nick Arama

Federal employees showed up to the office — not to work — but to protest returning to work.
Here are some of the shocking things that she outlined to the Homeland Security Committee.

A Veterans Affairs manager responsible for scheduling veterans appointments posted on social media that he was “phoning it in from a bubble bath” while calls to the VA have gone unanswered. An Army veteran gave up on getting mental healthcare from the VA because after years of trying to get an appointment, he met with a therapist who “spent the appointment singing the praises of remote work with a cat draped around her neck.” He said that it was such a disaster that “now I’m just on my meds doing my best.” A HUD employee was arrested for drunk driving at 3:30 in the afternoon on a Friday and may have been paid for time spent sitting in jail, HUD had no idea until I told them. For more than three years, a Social Security employee was running a home inspection business. Meanwhile, his mother was responding to his emails.

Firearm shootings and psychotropic drugs in minors

Firearm shootings and psychotropic drugs in minors - Tom Jefferson 

To keep the issue focused, let’s look at the situation in the US. The FBI defines an active shooter as “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area.”...
For example, here is the FBI - Sourced map for active shooting incidents between 2000 and 2013:

• In 2020–21, there were a total of 41 school-associated violent deaths in the United States, which included 20 homicides and 17 suicides. 
• Of these 41 school-associated violent deaths, 11 homicides and six suicides were of school-age youth (ages 5–18)...

Trump pauses higher tariffs for nations willing to deal, hikes to 125% for combative China * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Trump pauses higher tariffs for nations willing to deal, hikes to 125% for combative China * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

President Donald Trump has paused a new surge in higher tariffs for at least 75 nations who did not "retaliate" against his campaign to level the trading playing field for American companies and consumers, announcing a 90-day reprieve from those costs.

Big deal!

 

England is no longer a serious Country

A 50-year-old history teacher arrested, held in a cell for nearly eight hours, fingerprinted, photographed, and banned from seeing her own children on Mother’s Day, all for confiscating their iPads?  - Concerned Citizen@BGatesIsaPyscho

Torsten Prochnow@TorstenProchnow
This is a perfect example of why unchecked police power is a threat to democracy itself. 

A 50-year-old history teacher arrested, held in a cell for nearly eight hours, fingerprinted, photographed, and banned from seeing her own children on Mother’s Day, all for confiscating their iPads? 

This is not a mistake. 

This is systemic rot. 

• What this shows is that in today’s UK, and increasingly across much of Europe, police forces are no longer prioritizing public safety. 
• They are acting as ideological enforcers for a political class and bureaucratic elite that are completely detached from the concerns of ordinary citizens. 
• Violent crimes go uninvestigated for days, theft reports pile up unanswered, but a parent taking away a screen to encourage schoolwork gets the full weight of the state thrown at her within the hour...

Chinese??!!

#1 This day 1974-----Elton John - Bennie And The Jets (Official Music Video)

Democratic Delusions Aren’t Going Away Anytime Soon - Here’s why.

“We’ve got the right message,” Ken Martin, the new chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said while campaigning for the job. “What we need to do is connect it back with the voters. - Ruy Teixeira
The concept that Democrats have delusions about their current situation—that they are in denial about the implications of the 2024 election and other trends—is having a moment...
Here's why.
1. The fool’s gold of Democrats’ low turnout advantage. The dirty little secret of Democrats’ current coalition is that it’s extremely well-engineered for low turnout elections. Democrats used to argue that they wanted really high turnout—ideally everyone voting—in elections because high voter participation is a civic good in democratic societies and because they believed that higher turnout would bring in masses of less engaged, pro-Democratic voters (younger, less educated, less affluent, nonwhite) that would benefit them politically.
No more...

City threatens to sue residents over comments that cause 'harm' amid contentious mayoral race in Michigan | Blaze Media: 

The small Michigan city of Bangor has authorized its city attorney to file charges against any resident who makes comments that cause the city "harm," prompting cries from local residents and freedom-loving Americans across the country.

Bangor is a city of barely 2,000 residents located about 15 miles from the shores of Lake Michigan in the southwestern corner of the state.
