Euro-Weenies on the Rampage!

 

 

Friends, check out my latest Newsmakers broadcast, in which I dare the Europeans to assume the burden of their own defense.  I also analyze the emptiness of the Dem attacks on the filthy rich, the outrageousness of public funding for PBS and NPR, the last minute decision to pull the nomination of Elise Stefanik as the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., the rarity of pro-Hamas protests on most college campuses, the persistent problem of judicial overreach, the possibility of U.S. membership in the Commonwealth of Nations, and the makeover that the Smithsonian Institution is getting under MAGA auspices.  You won't want to miss my hard-hitting and incisive commentary!

In other news, could Russia be playing for time in ceasefire talks with the U.S. and Ukraine, with an eye to landing a knockout blow during a spring offensive?  It wouldn't surprise me.  It rather depends on what is more important to Russia: repairing its relationship with the West, or grabbing more land.

The dastardly Dems are making a lot of a tiny uptick in inflation, but so far the U.S. economy has weathered the storm of a "tariff war" fairly well.  Note as well that wages went up the same amount as prices, so there's no impending doom for consumers, much as the media would like you to believe otherwise...

A Smithsonian Makeover!

 

Friends, the MAGA Revolution is coming to the Smithsonian, and members of the brie-and-chardonnay set are fit to be tied.  Expect the venerable experts who run the place to kick and scream like toddlers.  It will be most interesting to see if the hostile presentation of "America" that has thus far prevailed at these otherwise fine museums will be adjusted.  I'll believe it when I see it.  In fact, I anticipate some universal injunctions from district court judges in the very near future mandating exactly what is and isn't included in museum exhibits.  I mean, why not?

Apparently there's more and more talk in D.C. about defunding PBS and NPR, and I couldn't be happier!  This is a step that Republicans should have taken decades ago.

Finally, DJT has withdrawn the nomination of Congresswoman Elise Stefanik to be our Ambassdor to the U.N., because her vote is desperately needed in the House of Representatives, where Republicans are clinging to a frightfully narrow majority.  I approve.  In fact, nominating Stefanik in the first place made little sense.  Her talents would be wasted at the United Nations, which is little more than a debating society for internationalist windbags.

Go Google Yourself, Google!

 

Friends, my latest article expands on my view that Google/Alphabet needs to be dismembered, once and for all, by the antitrust team at Trump's DOJ.  See if you don't agree:

In other news, establishment forces and the legacy media are trying to spin the proposed visit of the Second Lady, Usha Vance, to Greenland as a "provocation" and an act of imperialism.  I say Greenland and Denmark's inhospitable and unnecessarily defensive attitude is a provocation, and I advise President Trump to initiate a draft in anticipation of a long, bloody struggle against Danish military forces.  Better safe than sorry!

In All His Glory

 

Friends, democracy hangs by a thread, and World War III is imminent!!!  No one cares about all that, however, because a portrait of Donald Trump, which he considers unflattering, has been removed from the Colorado State House.  The only thing that surprises me is that Trump's Colorado mug shot wasn't much less flattering.  I mean, the purpose of art, like the purpose of everything, is to trash Trump, right?  Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin has sent Trump a different portrait (of Trump) that he (Trump) reportedly likes.  Images of that picture haven't been released, but I believe it looks a little something like this:

 

 

In other news, Trump is sticking it to a number of elite universities, and apparently some of them are caving to his demands.  That's very heartening.  In the long run, even better might be the complete disinvestment of the federal government from the debacle of elite higher ed.  Scaling the ivory tower will prove mighty difficult for conservatives, but knocking it down could prove more feasible...and just as gratifying!

Together At Last!

 

Friends, His Majesty President Trump of the Republican Kingdom of America has made his wishes known: he commands these United States to join the British Commonwealth of Nations!  As a loyal subject, I hear and obey.  I've thought for years that the U.S., a former British colony and a country in a long-term "special relationship" with the U.K., ought to be in the Commonwealth.  Make it so, I say.  God Save the King, and God Bless President Trump!

 

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-suggests-us-could-join-british-commonwealth-offered-king-charles 

 

P.S.  I hope joining the Commonwealth doesn't bar us from conquering and annexing other Commonwealth members, because that could be fun.

 

In other news, Elon Musk's Neuralink is improving the lives of paralytics, and it might someday soon be revolutionizing the human condition in a much wider sense.  You can see the subtext in this BBC article -- why would anyone (gasp!) want a little piece of Muskery inside their head??? -- but much of what Musk has done and is doing is all about helping his fellow man and saving civilization from itself.  Boy, what a jerk!  Where's a Molotov cocktail when I need one?

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cewk49j7j1po 

 

Finally, there's a big State Supreme Court election coming up in Wisconsin that will give us a sense of how Republicans and conservatives are doing in the wake of DJT's big win in November.  Methinks that reports of the death of the Democratic Party are greatly exaggerated, but nonetheless I'm hopeful that us right-wing nutjobs can pull off another glorious triumph in the Badger State.

Out of This World (No Longer)!!!

 

Friends, thanks to SpaceX -- an American success story, if ever there was one -- two NASA astronauts are back on terra firma.  Way to go, Elon!  Boeing may not be able to deliver the goods, but SpaceX has become "old reliable" when it comes to launching satellites into space and now, almost as an afterthought, crewed missions as well.

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0mw221z2yyo 

 

Trump and Putin agreed today on a ceasefire limited to attacks on energy infrastructure.  Will further progress be made?  Perhaps.  One has to question whether the Russians even want a ceasefire, at this stage, because they're the ones winning the war.  Ironically, the Russians, the Ukrainians, and the Euro-weenies may all be on the same page -- fight fight fight! -- albeit for radically different reasons, while we Americans may be relatively alone in wanting an end to the whole debacle.  How crazy is that?

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd65pz1p7d9o 

Finally, yet another federal district court judge has put yet another roadblock in the way of the Trump Administration and DOGE.  Specifically, this judge is insisting that USAID must be reopened.  The judicial obstructionism targeting Trump and friends is becoming pervasive and severe.  Something has to give.  I implore SCOTUS to act with urgency to strip district court judges of these dictatorial powers.  I implore SCOTUS, but I can't say I have enormous confidence that the Supremes will act.

Above the Law?

 

Friends, I strongly encourage you to drink deep of this article, which explores the issue of "universal injunctions" that have been coming from (Democrat-appointed) district court judges in massive quantities of late.  Basically, a single, lower level federal judge can tell anyone to do anything (or to stop doing anything), and that includes the President of the United States.  Injunctions can be overturned, sure, but that can take months and even years.  Do we want "unelected" judges to wield this kind of power?  The Democrats sure do, and you can see why...  Ultimately, the Supreme Court may decide the issue, or DJT may decide to tell the judges who issue such injunctions to take a flying leap.  All things are possible!

Disaster...Deferred?

 

Friends, in some ways, media efforts to gin up a recession are bearing fruit, but one card the doomsayers won't be able to play is a government shutdown.  It ain't gonna happen, thanks to a small number of Dems, who decided it wasn't in their narrow political interests to cause one (the interests of the country, of course, were a secondary consideration).  This is a victory for Trump and Republicans, but economic headwinds are becoming considerable, AND we mustn't forget that the country hasn't had a recession since 2008-2009.  That means that we are, historically speaking, overdue for one.  Again, a recession isn't inevitable, but we right-wingers should start to think about how one might play out, and how we can minimize our political losses, and maximize our gains, should one occur.  Needless to say, we would also want said recession to be as brief as possible, which many are.

These questions and so many more are explored in this week's Newsmakers show.  Do make it a point to tune in at your earliest convenience:

The Blind Leading the Blind?

 

Friends, Democrats think they're reclaiming the political high ground and that President Trump's popularity is "plummeting".  Well, they aren't acting like it.  In fact, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is taking a filibuster of the Republican-backed budget resolution off the table, meaning that House and Senate Republicans are likely to get a funding formula more or less according to their tastes.  The alternative, says Schumer, would be a government shutdown that would empower Trump and Musk to make even more draconian cuts to the federal government.  He has a point there!  The upshot, however, is that the Dems are once again powerless to stop Republicans from enacting their agenda, bit by bit.  An added bonus is the fact that Democrats can't agree amongst themselves on the proper strategy in this scenario.  AOC is among those who insist that any appeasement of Trump and Republicans is a terrible mistake.  Let's hope that AOC and her fellow Bolsheviks continue to speak with a loud voice and to lead the Democrats down the self-destructive path of unrelenting, scattershot Trump hatred.

Take note of the fact that Musk Derangement Syndrome has reached such insane proportions that Tesla infrastructure, including privately owned vehicles, is being targeted by vandals and arsonists worldwide.  Not only does this portend serious commercial challenges for Tesla itself -- and thus your first Tesla might be obtainable at a bargain price! -- but it also suggests that the rift between the United States and its supposed friends and allies in Canada and Western Europe is large and growing.  The Trumpier America gets, the more isolated it may become.  Tariffs, in this sense, may be just the tip of the iceberg.  Again, we'll know things are getting serious when X itself is banned by the EU.  Just you wait!

Dizzy with Success!

 

Friends, I don't know about you, but, like Stalin in 1930, I'm feeling "dizzy with success"!  Granted, Stalin was delusional, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.  Well, 70% sure, anyway.  70% is good!

 

What has me so enthusiastic?  Well, for one thing, Ukraine has accepted the concept of a 30-day truce with Russia.  A truce would be a great start, I feel.  It will be interesting to see how the Russkies respond.

Today, the U.S. and Canada turned down the temperature in their incipient trade war.  That's positive.  Escalation serves no meaningful purpose, because the dispute itself is largely irrational.  Unfortunately, at this stage bashing Trump is a major part of Canadian politics, so we probably haven't seen the last of this nonsense.

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2y811g1dgo 

 

What's more, Trump and Musk are delivering on their promise of scaling down the federal government, and it looks like the Department of Education might be a goner.  Hooray!

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62zl638m71o 

In yet more good news, Rosie O'Donnell has "self-deported" and is now residing in Ireland.  Outstanding!  Why won't more lefties follow through on their threats/promises to flee MAGA-land?

The House, meanwhile, has passed a funding measure that will keep the government flush with cash and open for business, well into this year.  It essentially freezes current spending levels, which, in my view, is way too much spending!  But assuming Trump can "impound" any excessive appropriations, that shouldn't be a huge problem.

There's one lone piece of bad news today, and that's the fact that Romania's "Central Electoral Bureau" has disqualified the "far-right" candidate who won in the first round of voting.  Could this signal further backsliding in Europe when it comes to genuine free speech and political pluralism?  This bears watching!
