Friends, excellent news: today DJT kicked Big Bird in the crotch...extra hard!!! That Bolshevik bird has been peddling neo-Marxism to toddlers for decades, but perhaps not for much longer. That's because the Trump Administration is asking Congress to ratify its deep cuts to USAID, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and other agencies that DOGE, in its infinite wisdom, placed on the chopping block. All in all, Trump is attempting to cancel roughly $9 billion in spending that Congress had previously authorized. This is a very positive development! It means that Congress may, if it has the courage, join the fight to reduce the size of the federal government. It also means that the Feds might get out of the business of subsidizing the woke mind virus. Wouldn't that be great???

Dr. Waddy from Jack: Its a very hopeful step. Its hard to believe , after wanting to see this kind of common sense infused into our polity, we are actually seeing developments we have waited for for so long. Its redeeming.
ReplyDeleteThe presumptuous misuse of tax payer funds by far left ideologues to advance their complete takeover is exemplified in the expenditures attacked by this bill. Its passage could pave the way for elimination of many more frivolous, elitist and incipiently totalitarian measures heretofore casually assumed their "rights" by "American" radicals. "Of course we intend to destroy America and we are going to make America pay for it and like it too" Oh yeh?
Dr. Waddy from Jack: Re the Newsmaker broadcast: I think Musk's departure and his scathing criticism of the "Beautiful Bill" may be in part attributable to his possible disappointment that his efforts have not been rewarded or supported sufficiently
ReplyDeleteHe may not fully appreciate the difficulty which attends legislation, especially a very significant one. Though he is formidable and brilliant he doesn't quite have DJT's experience in that blood sport.
Perhaps he sees the changes wrought in the House as a consequence of a lack of determination on DJT's part and his sharp criticism was motivated by those changes . Too, he has made heroic sacrifices, to his certainly cherished business interests, to his reputation, to his personal safety and that of his family, associates,employees and customers. No doubt the recent explosive failure of his Starship has been bad for his morale; he has endured an exceptionally trying ordeal with guts and moxie.
In time, I am confident his efforts will bear much fruit. I cannot see in a DJT who has endured the execrable travails , to the very present day, of the last 9 years , a "sunshine soldier" emerging. As far as practical politics (the art of the possible)will allow him , DJT will stick with the program I think. He hasn't sacrificed the younger portion of his mature years to such unneeded hardship to wilt now.
Yeah, let the dems celebrate this "break" . Their disarray is their undoing and they show no sign of the resolve and humility it takes to admit
mistakes and undo them. They'll have little prospect of recovering until they fully face their discreditation . Let's hope they never swing it; they have disgraced themselves beyond measure with the obsequious regard they show for the tenets of the America hating far left and with the advent of MAGA stand in sharp contrast to what most Americans want. They must never again be trusted to lead our country.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: I looked up the International Court of Trade: its an Article III "tribunal;the judges are appointed for life by the President and must be confirmed by the Senate . It meets in NYC, which is probably very homey for its Obama and Biden appointed majority. Its jurisdiction includes Civil construction of Constitutional law and rulings of equity on commerce, trade and laws which effect those areas.
ReplyDeleteI could not glean from the article what administrative "rank" this Court holds; it is a Federal Court and is of course subordinate to Scotus. I don't know where initial appeals from its decisions might be required to go.
Well, I'm not really surprised that it rendered this ruling on the President's authority to enact tariffs. Past experience makes it rather hard to imagine that a majority so appointed can be trusted to be objective.
Dr. Waddy from Jack : The MSM chose to embrace the term Deep Throat to lend a lurid element to the Watergate hurly burly it stirred so enthusiastically. Deep Throat was a notoriously salacious film of the early '70s the very mention of which in the media was "daring".
ReplyDeleteJack, it is now a matter of pure routine that Democrat-appointed federal judges should rule against Trump and everything he does. More troubling is the fact that so many of Trump's own appointees often do the same!
ReplyDeleteYes, Trump will stick to his principles, such as they are, but fiscal restraint wasn't on the list to begin with, and I share Musk's frustration on that score.
