  • Why is Trump being so damned socialist?

    Why is Trump being so damned socialist?

    An article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday talked about investments tied to President Trump’s trade deals with Japan and South Korea where they promise hundreds of billions and are secured by threat of tariffs. Japan agreed to $550 billion, and South Korea to $350 billion. The money would go into something called a special-purpose…

  • The Idiocy of the No Kings Protests

    The Idiocy of the No Kings Protests

    The so-called “No Kings” protesters were out again shouting slogans, waving signs, and pretending they’re saving democracy. They claim to be standing up against tyranny, with chants of “Trump is not a king.” Most of these same people, along with the their opponents, are the very reason the presidency has become so bloated and powerful…

Trump was supposed to be the guy that gets us out of these quagmires. From November 2024. This was just 24 hours ago. This…

  • Don’t blame Trump for expanding his power. Blame Congress and us.

    Don’t blame Trump for expanding his power. Blame Congress and us.

    I’m very bored by all the noise about Trump’s over steps. What the fuck did people expect? The public, fueled by media (legacy and new), seems to love being pulled in one direction or the other and give their blind faith to the guy in power that is from their tribe. Trump isn’t to blame…
