It turns out, there are a very small cadre of FBI folks who are good. They pushed Kash Patel over the nomination and confirmation barriers

Is anyone else as happily surprised as I am with JD Vance? He has done a great job as a public speaker for this administration beyond what Trump does himself.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will announce Thursday that he won’t seek reelection next year. Honestly? He should have stepped down years ago, but he'll hang on to let Trump complete his work in the first congressional term.

The Democrats are continuing to demonstrate that they cannot read the room. Check out what the new leader of the DNC is saying is a winning plan to gain back voters: 

Now, this formidable brain trust has released its first strategic directive — and it's every bit as threatening to the mighty MAGA Revolution as you'd expect. 

"Today, I released a framework detailing how the Democratic Party will fight against Trump’s war on working people," trumpeted Martin in an X post on Wednesday. 

Okay, at least one or two brain cells are firing in the DNC: they realize they've alienated a massive part of what used to be a reliable Democrat faction, the American worker. But the party's strategy to win them back is … to convince them that Donald Trump has declared war on them? My brother, these people literally just chose Trump to be their president. They are a long way from reaching the conclusion that he is waging some kind of war on them.

Martin & Co. however, are proceeding as though normal Americans already widely subscribe to this notion. In his memorandum, "Democrats Will Fight Against Trump’s War on Working People," Martin reveals his party has big plans to regain political control through the devastating combination of unionizing and "Project 2025" fearmongering.

I'm going to guess that it's not going to work. Just a hunch.

There is a part of me that wishes we could nuke Hamas, but the certainly of fallout over Israel is unacceptable.

Feel Good Story of the Day: He Was Suspended for Helping DOGE; Now He Runs the Agency

He works at Social Security and was a fraud investigator. He found common cause with DOGE and worked to help them. He was put on administrative leave, and then his boss got fired and he got promoted over many others. 

I think this president is serious about saving money. Just a guess.

Vance is a much better speaker than Trump. He is looking good for 2028.

link does not work for me, but I’m guessing you are linking to the story about Hamas having returned the wrong body?

Trump himself, he is a lot more confident and relaxed. Vance is amazing so far, he exposes reporters with style, he has what Reagan had. The ability to speak past the reporters and political audience directly to the people.

Working People -

Beauracts working in DC who understand the agenda and execute the unspoken insurrection against The Nation and The People.

Sorry about that. Go here. This is what I'm referring to: 

 Perhaps as a form of psychological warfare, or just because they truly are pure evil, Hamas did not deliver the body of the mother of the two dead children. Knowing their past patterns and behavior, it is more likely that Hamas did not return this body because of what they had done to her.

Iran is a importer of gas, diesel and lubricants. I would start with their import facilities. The lost their s-400 air defense system when the IAF hit them

Taking out the import facilities could be done with a SSGN, or sealth assets and be very low risk.

It would cripple what economy they do have.
