Now the GOP Senate gets busy – which is just making us all the madder because they could have done this all along. And now we see both why Trump urged the filibuster to go and the GOPe resisted it: they don’t really want the MAGA agenda. They’re doing a few things now – but what they could do, easily, is a reconciliation package funding the federal government through to 10/1/2028. Basically leave the Democrats nothing but the ability to pass veto-bait and commit various felonies as they investigate MAGA. Just infuriating. At least the House GOP Leadership is fairly MAGA – and we do have a chance in 2028. Large as the Dems House majority is, a lot of seats are flipping Blue based on tiny numbers of votes in Red and Purple States. The Dems managed an astonishing turnout operation (supplemented by the par-for-the-course ballot box stuffing, rely on it) but we now have two years to match that. Do it, and even if we don’t win the House in 2028 – and even if we’re losing the White House – we can cut that majority down so small that even a trifecta won’t do the Democrats a lot of good in 2029.
The Cartels (plus, probably, Catholic Charities) are organizing new caravans of invaders to come up to America – don’t know what they’re thinking. Sure, the southern border is now all Democrat governors, but the border is federal, period. They can refuse to help ICE, but they can’t interfere with it. I’m sure that Trump, at need, will even surge National Guard and Army units to the border if necessary. The world really doesn’t understand how America works.
The Mullah regime put out video of burka-clad women training to repel the Yankee Hordes…which aren’t, of course, coming. It is a bit absurd to see…but do keep in mind that in all totalitarian regimes, there is a subset of women who are the most ardent supporters even if the treatment of women is terrible. Perhaps even because of that treatment. This might be all the regime has left – the men having long since abandoned it.
Gasoline is now below $4 a gallon but, seriously you guys, it wasn’t ever manipulated higher for the election.
The moves to ban data centers? Just as we all figured – funded by China. Our problem ultimately is that stupid people can be easily swayed by relatively small amounts of money to stake out positions hostile to American interests…and as it stands, we have to let them talk and vote. That will have to change.
