Please send the last paragraph of this piece directly to Donald Trump, return receipt, signature required. He is frittering away his authority and it is disturbing. We need him to be more serious and, yes, resolute.

I hear he also sells mini-whiskey barrels if the watches don’t appeal to you. It’s pretty unbelievable. He closed the borders though and if that’s all that gets done it’s still 10x better than living under dictators (democrats).

I wonder though. If Trump just “shut up” and acted like the rest of the Deep State, he would be labeled by his supporters as a milquetoast doing nothing. Just read this blog over the last year to get that drift, “He promised this and that and has not done much”. The man has been almost totally blocked from doing his agenda by a concerted effort by the Left. He is totally outnumbered and overpowered. I think I would be just a little frustrated by such a group of morons destroying the country that I love, (or loved?). I fully expect Trump to withdraw from even trying if 2026 goes sour.

Let Trump be Trump and nail these SOBs with everything he has got.

Just wait to see how much less he "gets done" when the GOP loses the House (and maybe even the Senate) next year. The House RINOs are rolling over, the Senate RINOs failed to do what needed to be done (end the filibuster) in order to pass the election reform legislation necessary to prevent the Democrats from cheating their way into power again. And both houses have failed to address the exploding health insurance cost situation, while having gold-plated health insurance themselves.

Trump should just resign the day after the election, when it becomes clear that the Democrats have swept the midterms. None of us have the time to go though the impeachment melodrama again.

He'll be spending all of his time fighting back impeachment charges just as he did the last two years of his first term.

The uniparty hasn't done a fucking thing to fix anything and stupid Americans continue to vote for the incumbent. It's hard to wrap one's brain around this stuff. How can millions of people be so duped, so clueless, so damned stupid.

Long have I believe that DJT is not a solution to what ails America. DJT is a symptom of a very sick political system and a people who have no where to turn for healing of that sick system.

We are boned and we are going down hard. Our last chance was DJT and he's just too damned old, tired and worn down by the constant barrage of lies and fakery. He tried, I'll give him that, but the secret combinations run too deep. Nothing but absolute collapse will fix what we have now.

It’s no surprise (to me) how stupid millions of Americans are. I see it just by walking out my door and going to the supermarket. Costco is even worse; I need a damn Xanax just to keep my blood pressure down, with all the stupidity and retardation I witness… a lot of these Boomers didn’t age well ad they’re loose among us.

Also, a lot of people in these comments section are also out to lunch. They’re well-meaning, but their naivety and credulity is astonishing. Pointing out the truth triggers them.

That's when he holds a press conference from the resolute desk and he calmly looks at the camera, raises his left hand and extends his middle finger. He then resolutely says, "fuck you America.

He then stands up from the resolute desk and quietly disappears, leaves the ruins of America to the people, and spends the rest of his days in quiet retirement somewhere in the Atlantic on a private island.

Don’t be so sure of that. If the Democrats also win the Senate, you have several RINOs who hate Trump and have voted against his interests and nominees in the past. Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski are three that come to mind off the top of my head. The disguises may come off of others, if given the opportunity to curb-stomp Trump when he’s down, with little to no personal political ramifications.

Don’t forget, the second Trump impeachment vote was 57-43, with seven GOP senators voting to convict… 10 votes short, but still a defection and betrayal.

Trump's behavior is right in line with his assigned role by the Puppet Masters as the Commander-in-Chief of the "Bread and Circuses" project. Anyone who is surprised or disappointed - well, you haven't been paying attention.

In the old days, the collapse of an Empire was a process that chugged along slowly, with a cast of well-known and trusted players moving the parts around until a direction towards critical mass appeared as the next target. Today's collapse, while it can still be described as the Long Emergency, is a turbo-charged ride through Hell - with chaos, lies, propaganda and psychological warfare techniques not possible until the technology made possible via fossil fuels appeared on the scene. The Information Age provided new glimpses to how the process behind the scenes really works, and who the movers and shakers really are, and who they work for, but no clear picture of who's at the helm or what goals are providing the various motivations and agenda to what end.

Discerning reality in all the chaos and trying to prioritize and address how to solve problems and mitigate the predicaments is now impossible and at a Global Scale. The potential for Unintended Consequences as people and pieces are flung off the Merry-go-Round of Decline in unpredictable ways has never been higher. We're at a stage now in the cakewalk where the fear of stopping the music is cringe worthy - with so many people shuffling along and so few chairs.

Buckle up. We're entering the "Decades in Weeks" history timeline, and changes are coming that will be simply stunning.

The Indiana Senate just torpedoed that hope by refusing to redistricting the state. "We're being principled!" In warfare -- and this is warfare-- being principled usually causes you to be dead.

An author recently wrote a book (which I have, but havent read yet) comparing Trump to King Jehu. They are/ were brash, abrasive, and able to make reforms. Jehu mysteriously lost his effectiveness, and Trump also seems to be losing his ability to move mountains, even as he calls reporterettes "pigs." If he fails, we're cooked -- well, even if he succeeds we're cooked, just not as fast or as thoroughly. Remember, Sodom and Gomorrah were annihilated, bit they didn't know God; the United States, above all other countries, has no excuse for what we're doing: condoning crime, celebrating crooked politicians like Letitia James getting off, child rape that may or may not be prosecuted, mass arson, compulsory use of untested medication, etc. ad nauseum.

What I like so much about the TV channel RAV or Real Americas Voice is that they don't just give a report. If there is a press conference or speech, they show it live. They cover hearings live. During the Biden invasion they had reporters showing the invaders marching through the Darien Gap and showed the legions of Muslim males and obvious Chinese soldier/migrants. As far as I know, they were the only ones who showed Majorkas showing up in a helicopter in Central America to direct and coordinate the invasion, build larger roads and bridges to accommodate the movement. The Mrs. sure didn't get any of that on "The Today Show" or any of the evening news shows.

Here, here! EXCELLENT. Couldn't agree more. HOW ABOUT WE SHOW A LITTLE GRATITUDE TO THE GUY WHO JUST ABOUT GAVE UP HIS FREAKIN' LIFE FOR US!!

Let President Trump hawk his gold plated VISA cards, his Trump watches and whatever other doo dads he wants to promote for himself or his brand. I don't care. Somehow, EVERYTHING this man does is for the good of America and the American People.

The things that he has accomplished in the short time he's been back in office are monumental but instead of bragging about our great President, we're back to talking about his mean tweets and insults. Who TF cares? You think Putin or the Chi Com guy give two shits about that crap when they're figuring out ways to destroy our country?

Trump has done more in less than a year for US than the filthy Commie Dems have done in the last half a century. All the while he never whines or complains, he just keeps coming back stronger than ever.

In case everyone' forgotten, his slogan has always been Make AMERICA great again which is more than 99.9% of the scumbag politicians want to do. In fact, in the case of many of them, their motto is Make SOMALIA or UKRAINE great again.

Frankly I don't give a rat's ass if he puts gold toilets in the new and glorious party room he's constructing WITH HIS OWN MONEY.

I agree with your comment NY Nanny. He certainly didn't NEED to run for office to try and execute the will of the most corrupt and useless Congress in our recent history. One point I have tried to make is that Mr. Trump can only do so much. Beyond EOs he doesn't make law. The President is charged with executing the law. Only Congress can make law. Congress is the sovereign. Congress can override a Presidential veto. Congress controls the spending. CONGRESS, CONGRESS, CONGRESS!

We as a people are too absorbed with one man, whether it be Biden, Obama, Bush or Trump and we expect too much from one man. Under the Constitution the President is nothing but an executor of the will of Congress. Period.

Americans should be furious, pissing razorblades about the condition of the US Congress. All they do is hold worthless committee hearings that provide no results on anything they are yacking about. Utterly absurd. A massive failure.

This is what happens when a people are blessed with too much for too long. They become decadent, lazy, slothful, boastful, arrogant, lovers of themselves. They do not know how to sacrifice. They have no gratitude. They have no sense of purpose. The love of themselves turns into hatred of themselves and their positions of circumstance and they turn to personal "causes" and act out to "make a difference."

What we need as a nation is a harsh war, one that knocks people back into reality, one that takes from them their security and their trinkets and brings them back to humility. A severe economic depression will do the same thing. I believe one or the other is coming.

I am forced to agree with you, Mun's Frolick. The majority of Americans are dunces of extreme measure. Obsessed with the acquisition of "stuff" and "things" they don't need. So much so that they fund all of their obsessions with debt and credit. Most Americans are liars. Pretending they are wealthy but secretly they are so buried by debt that they will never be free of it.

There is also an element of Americans who are accutely intelligent and intimately aware of what is happening. These people are very intelligent but, unfortunately, don't know what they can do to change things. They know voting doesn't work, Congressional representatives represent only themselves and any protesting action will result in jail without charges. This group, unfortunately, is in the minority.

Thank you, this is something I wish we were all struggling to understand better and keep more in mind. Carroll Quigley wrote his histories, his pupil Bill Clinton had a career which testified to the truth of everything Quigley wrote about the Anglo-American establishment, and yet for 99% of people it's like these admissions never happened.

Of course. Ever since the open rise of the intelligence agencies in the 50s & 60s (though the manipulation goes further back) it's been important to take media stories & cultural narratives w/ a grain of salt. We have to ask: whose purpose does this serve? Why am I seeing this, how does this actually affect my life (and often these things do, just in ugly slow-boil ways)? Now with AI, who knows? We're all Pontius Pilate asking, What is Truth? It's very unpleasant.

Russia has shown restraint over the years of encroachment by NATO, allowing 14 countries, most on their border to form The worthless NATO.

Europe screwed itself by cutting off Russian energy. Let them freeze.

I remember hoping the MIC bullshit about Russia would stop in 1991. It didn’t. It was the Democratic Party that started up what is happening now. Biden, Obama and HRC.

IMHO, one of the greatest lies of the 21st century is that Putin wants to take East Europe. Ask yourself, why would he want them back? The second greatest lie is that Europe gives one shit about NATO. To them, NATO is a USA financed organization, the real reason that Putin has not invaded East Europe is that he just does not want put up with European bullshit, he will allow the USA to have that unfortunate task.

At one point under Bill Clinton there was talk of allowing Russia into NATO which was quickly knee capped.

Russia is not the enemy China is and I wish we would see the common ground more than the regional power trying to have their own form of a Monroe doctrine.

China is an economic adversary, not an enemy.

They are less hegemonic by far than the US has been... and BRICS may soon leave us in the dust... especially when the dollar collapses...(happening fast now)...

EKO provides enlightened, Biblical insights and is highly recommended to those for whom Truth matters. And the "truth" today is that there is no salvation to be found anywhere in this fallen world occupied by our corporeal selves. We are born to die and thereby find release into eternity; some to an eternal life of bliss and others to eternal damnation. There is only a single entry point to eternal life; the One who told us that He was the door, the light that came into the world, the good shepherd, the Way, the Truth and the Life. Believe on Him and be saved. And always remember that He told us, "Let not your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in Me... I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Now go and read the rest of John's Gospel and do as you were told: take heart.

The vast majority of legislators, bureaucrats, and the judiciary are aligned against the people. The people are taxed heavily, without much in the way of representation. Government spends what isn't there, printing money, deflating wealth of the middle class. Justice is at least two-tiered.

Government has reached "escape velocity." Trump arrived a little too late.

No, helping Nigeria does not help America, but it is a great way to make sure the Republicans lose the mid-terms. No one voted for Trump to make Nigeria great again. . .

If Nigeria becomes a better less corrupt country, they stop trying to flee here and maybe just maybe they begin to go after the all the scammers in that country.

They might also begin to resist the real global enemy China is becoming.

Uh huh. So instead of focusing on draining the swamp in DC--you know, the things he campaigned on--he should continue to break those campaign promises and work to help Africa. Yeah, makes perfect sense.

No he should be doing that as well.

This is not an either or situation.

How much of that swamp has ties to these criminal rackets in Nigeria, Ukraine, Venezuela, Somalia, Afghanistan and countries like that?

"Perhaps the strain is getting to him."

Absolutely the strain is getting to him. Trump is, afterall, a human being. I can't imagine being subject to the ridicule, hate, derision and lies that he is subjected to on constant minute by minute basis. You have half the population that absolutely hate the man and all that he does and stands for. You have half the population that look at Mr. Trump as if he is America's savior even though Mr. Trump, as the Chief Executive of the USA has no authority to make law. He can only sign new law or veto it. Too many people are looking to him to resolve every problem facing America when it is the colossal joke, the US Congress, who they should be pointing fingers at.

Yes, the strain is getting to him. He's almost 80 years old. He should sitting on a private beach on his private island in the Caribbean surrounded by naked women as he sits in a beach chair sipping margaritas instead of putting up with the bull shit factory that is the United States of America.

I believe he's done. The Republican pussies will lose the Senate and the House in the mid terms and Trump will spend the final two years of his presidency fighting off impeachment charges.....again. God damned Democrats. Fucking Republicans. I hate them all. The fact that Americans still have faith in this system is mind boggling to me.

Everything you say about the democrats is true, but the Tech-Bro Trumpeteers are equally evil, pushing Captain Orange to issue edicts overriding states' attempt to put the brakes on the hallucinating AI juggernaut and silencing American citizens who speak ill of that rogue nation in the mideast that gleefully deploys their Orwellian gestapo tech to scrub Gaza clean of indigenous human life. And what's with this Venezuela craziness, blowing up people by remote control in small boat off the coast of a country 2,500 miles from our shores? And are we pirates now, seizing foreign oil tankers enroute to tiny countries we've been fucking over for more than 65 years? If Mr. Trump wants to go after real drug dealers, I hear Pfizer has several well-funded operations right here in the good ol' USA.

No, we are going after the center of criminal election stealing all over the world as-well as the drug cartels. Venezuela is a major focus of corruption that assists China and Russia in the western hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine is high on his priorities as well as election fraud even as he brings down some of the sources of wealth (the flawless drug boats) to shut off the money flow. It’s a major operation and you’re hearing only a small part of what’s happening.

This post could have just been titled, “Satan’s Minions.” It’s frightening how many billionaires (who should be all for capitalism, you would think) are financing Marxist, anarchist causes to destabilize the very society that gave them their fortunes. Why would they do that? I see no good reason other than that they have been infected with the satanic mind virus that tells them to “destroy, destroy, destroy.” It seems literally everyone is against us; even people like Elon Musk who are for us are ultimately against us, urging that we must merge with the machines to be still competitive. Rather than mere meat sacks, we’ll be the upgraded “Human 2.0” with technologically and/or genetically enhanced features. One could despair if it weren’t for the knowledge that God, the King of the Universe, is on our side.

I am an unabashed fan of the president, but you're spot on about the self promotion. It's tiring and does nothing to help the situation.

He needs to light a fire under the republicans in Congress to actually start doing their job. America is dumb enough to return Dems to the majority in the midterms, so the clock is ticking.
