They have very incoherent messaging. Easily defeated with a few points as you made. We had 23 Dem Senators send out identical tweets. Stephen A Smith essentially said this is why they lost and why they will continue to lose. They are concerned with messaging, not policy. This tweet is great. Even Michael Steele thinks the Dems are goofs for holding up bingo cards.
The Democrats never protected women. They only protected women who agree with them. They just voted yesterday to continue their real war on real women. It’s disgusting. Any man who has a daughter playing sports and still votes for Democrats is an imbecile.
And they neglect that they've all been vetted, are under the same binding NDAs, and must adhere to the same laws as, in this case, IRS employees do. Since their scope goes beyond the IRS, I'd say they've probably been vetted much more thoroughly than a typical IRS agent. And I'm sure there are people of comparable age/life experience working for the DoD, intel agencies, DoE, and State Department.
This really seems to be their position. If Trump says he's for clean air, the Democrats respond they're for dirty air. It's how you keep taking the wrong side on the 80/20 issues.
In the last 100 years of American History the most egregious event was the forceful internment of Japanese-Americans and the theft of their property AND liberty !Under the Ukranian Constitution enacted before Zelensky even entered politics, the declaration of martial law suspends elections. Ukranian parliamentary elections were supposed to happen first, then later the Presidential election there. Both were suspended. Ukranian Parliament has ratified the suspension of elections btw.
Wartime Elections in Ukraine Are Impossible
Voting in the middle of the Russian invasion is legally and practically unworkable.foreignpolicy.com
As for the church thing, there is a Russian Orthodox church loyal to Moscow which the Ukranian government has taken actions against. Literally the leadership of that church is tied in with the Putin Regime. I'm open to arguments that this is somehow wrong, but it's certainly not without cause and has to be expected during war. It's a whole lot less than interning the Japanese American citizenry!
These talking points you get from the online right are just as stupid as the online right. From the online left's wokeism to whatever this is from the online right ... when will reason prevail?
Anyone that still suffers from TDS 1.0 and is about to get TDS 2.0 should take a rest for their mental health.
I saw someone had for sale at a sports auction the glove AND the cleats worn by Bill Bruckner the day he mishandled and kicked the ground ball at first base that allowed the Mets to WIN the World Series !
I've told you how to get free eggs, so relax. Gas at the big box station I use has gone down .079 Cents since Jan 21 St.I drop in once in awhile to see the craziness going on here, but I'm still confused about how Zelensky said Americans will fight in Ukraine. He did say at the WH meeting that the problems with Russia will ultimately land in America's lap (probably true but certainly debatable). But if anyone thinks that him trying to horse trade his own leadership for Ukraine's NATO membership (a highly unlikely outcome) is somehow equivalent to forcing American soldiers to fight in Ukraine, they must also be pretty miffed about admitting Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland (a very recent addition), and even Poland, all of whom have spent plenty of time on the wrong end of the Russia spear over the course of history. Oh well. I don't think Ukraine's joining NATO is particularly realistic for anyone, appears that their best case ceasefire would involve European peacekeepers.
It does seem like very few people in America have any sort of handle on what's actually happening in the war, as both idiot political teams seem to benefit from the argument that "Ukraine is on the brink." Problem is, Russia launched massive offensives in Ukraine across 2024, and the end result of Russia was very limited gains that have basically ceased over the last 3 months. It's not a disaster for Russia, but at best the Russian initiative is waning. At worst, Russia's economy and war fighting capabilities are on extremely shaky ground. In either case, there's not a great impetus for a "bad peace" for Ukraine itself (and frankly, Europe can keep Ukraine afloat under current conditions a lot longer than is acknowledged by many involved in this discussion, both pro- and anti-Ukraine).
If you don't believe me, you might believe Institute for the Study of War. Any which way, at the casualty rate suffered by Russia last year (about 104 casualties for each square kilometer of land conquered) relative to the territory in Ukraine not under Russian control, it would require nearly 200,000,000 Russian casualties to conquer the entire country. There are only about 140-145M Russians these days lol. Obviously, that's not how wars go, either Russia would perform better or stop fighting at this casualty rate, but it speaks to how difficult the fight is for our wannabe modern Soviets.

Russia has achieved relatively faster gains in 2024 than throughout most of the war after the initial invasion and developed a blueprint for conducting slow, tactical envelopments to achieve these advances, but Russian forces have failed to restore theunderstandingwar.org
Separately, I am thoroughly enjoying the DOWN, DOWN, DOWN crime rates we are experiencing as we become further removed from the Covid chaos of 2020-21. As I pointed out back then, this all began in 2023 and continued through 2024. The good news is that it keeps dropping in 2025, particularly for violent crimes. There is growing evidence that the BLM movement starting in about 2014 was a huge hindrance to safety in black communities. This year, some of the early numbers in the big cities I track are flat amazing for violent crime reduction in 2025.
Look for increasingly good news on the drug overdose death front. Sounds like the preliminary numbers suggest a drop from 114K death from Q4 2022 through Q3 2023 to 87K from Q4 2023 through Q3 2024.
Separately, if you aren't a little worried about the economy, time to start. Consumer sentiment has dipped, and trade wars are inflationary (so are deportations, but the Admin has far more justification for this policy). Not a happy combination, but I'm sure the Economic Genius in the WH understands all this well.
I still feel bad for Billy Buck. He was a very memorable Cubs player. Just an awful physical mistake at the wrong time.
It’s always a great thing to drop in and call everything craziness. That will truly get people interested in what you have to say. Not!
The meeting Z-Man had hours BEFORE with the Dems, who TOLD him to REJECT the Treaty deal WITH Trump was the reason for his actions at the White House.
Dem leaning Pundits are lining up to state how bad Brandon was as a man, Father, Politician and they think it's funny !
Another Trump WIN and Peace in a region !Looks like Egypt came up with a plan that only happens if Hamxs is gone from leadership role.
Gaza: Arab leaders approve $53bn alternative to Trump's reconstruction plan
Egypt puts forward a counterproposal to the president's vision for a US takeover of post-war Gaza.www.bbc.com
It also demeans how hard an actual man/boy has to work to excel as an actual man/boy !
Various yokels here will claim the poll was biased, here towards the few people that watch CNN !
So right-leaning is “factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information and a clean fact check record.”

Did you ever think it is Trump's gangster like tactics. Every time the Ukraine is threatened he backs off to back his country. The BS that Trump just wants peace is rotten. Trump wants Putin Russia to keep everything, give up nothing. Plus he harms/hurts/threatens Ukraine every step of the way. No money to rebuild power, no arms shipments, no cyber security against Russia, easing sanctions on Russia, not sharing intelligence.
