Well, MAGA is going to get a shot to show they can Govern. He is going straight Right Wing, no Centrist at all. Gonna be interesting. Even Pompeo who was loyal. I can see Haley, she took him on. Is he putting anyone that can talk across the aisle?

Name one reasonable Democrat left in congress?

Henry Cuellar?

He will have Tulsi and JFK in his administration.


You seem to be missing the reality that whether or not you think they are reasonable, Trump has to work with them. I would have thought we learned from last time. Otherwise, he will spend all his time defending himself. The Art is to give them enough, but still accomplish his agenda. You go in saying you are going to fire 75% of the Government workforce, nothing will get done.

everybody is on your side

We are all Americans who want what is best for our families. Having a difference of opinion is ok
The problem is the lefties know how they would act if they had a mandate... so they expect everyone else to act the same. They would persecute & prosecute their political opponents, so the assume the same will happen to them.

Very sad.
I disagree. The left counts on the right to be true to itself and simply turn the other cheek. They know the right would never sic the DOJ on their political opponents - so the left does. They know the right would never send the FBI to grandma's house to make arrests for political speech - so the left does. They know the right would never engage in lawfare - so the left does. They know the right would never censor political speech - so the left does.

Accordingly, the only way to stop the left is to use their tactics. Every liberal that supported these measures should be afraid - deeply afraid. That is how we emerge from the banana republic the left caused.

You simply cannot be nice to someone that thinks you are garbage.

No, you put guard rails in to make sure it doesn't happen again. You go through Congress and push it through. You don't do an Executive Order that can be rescinded. You make it LAW.

What you describe is EXACTLY how Banana Republic's act.

You arent wrong but we have to pick our shots.

MAGA is really only 1/3rd of the country and the uniparty can shut down the government with a snap of its fingers.

We cant afford to forfeit control of all three branches of government without any accomplishments because we acted like the leftists and completely doubled down on our baser instincts with no greater strategy or vision.

Got 2 years... Then midterms, no one does well in midterms. First 6 months are key, he has to come out wanting to solve problems, NOT FIGHT. If he can get the people and from there the media. He stands a chance. He can close the border and he can get energy going. Do those and use that success to build into midterms.

China isn't looming. China is going to be in a world of hurt. Their one child policy has likely doomed them as a society to the annals of history.

Not only are they not having enough children (leading to population collapse)

But even worse the older population (non-workers) are living a long time.

It's gonna break the budget to care for them.

I'm 30 years almost 30% of China will be old…not long after that it will rise to 50%.

It will be older than even Japan

It's laughable to think China will be a super power (economic or military) with the most geriatric population on earth

Cronyn is a terrible choice for senate majority leader!




Cornyn has been booed at state convention. There's a tremendous amount of media coverage about him getting booed for his entire speech at the convention in Houston in 2022 over his support for gun violence legislation. But he's been booed on introduction a few times, too. It just didn't make the news.

It's important now because there is a push to make him the new majority leader right away, before the new senators are seated. He would be a terrible choice because he has become part of the swamp & no longer represents Texans.

Some of them broke laws and therefore need to be prosecuted. The difference between them & trump is that we don't have to change the law to go after them or invent bogus charges.

Exactly. That was one of Trump's biggest mistakes the first time: too many EO's. To be fair, he didn't exactly get much cooperation from congress. This time might be different. He won in a landslide, demolished his opponents, & it was his shirt tails that gave the GOP majorities in both houses. He has lots of leverage. He also already has congressional leaders willing to work with him. Maybe Speaker Johnson will grow a spine and show real leadership.

And the younger generation is enjoying the more decadent Western lifestyle. They aren't interested in building a military power or imperialism. They are on the fast track to serious collapse. Even if they take Taiwan back it won't be for long.

So true. I recently saw a report how the Chinese are calling people begging them to have children.

Yep,

And they won't even be able to take Taiwan

People forget that as bad as our political generals are (Miley, etc.)….its nothing like how bad it is in China

The People's Liberation Army is the armed wing of the Communist Party. It's not built for defense or overseas action.

It's built for political repression and internal security for the party.

And its leadership have their ranks because they are loyal to the Communist bosses….not because they are competent military men.


[The PLA is not a traditional nation-state military. It is a part, and the armed wing, of the CCP and controlled by the party, not by the state. The PLA's primary mission is the defense of the party and its interests.]

No, but point taken, they are the people who said Trump won in 2020

They don't need to take Taiwan as long as they can defend it. I think they're pretty well built for that. For overseas action, no.

If Xi knows that, what is his move? Nothing? He moves now, while his population is still in the years to do it. What you describe shouldn't give you comfort, it should make you more wary I the next 5 to 10 years. You think Xi is going to shrink away?

We have to get over our own divided issues and get our house in order. Chinas window, as you point out, is the next ten years. Right now military tech is limiting them and long term population. So the goal is to not let that time where they catch up tech-wise to make a move look viable. Biden set us back.

That is the entire point. Thank you. The left uncorked the bottle. Only way to fix it is use their tactics. Only after their surrender can there be peace.


Guardrails mean nothing to them. That is why we are here.

Every receipt, every case, every transaction by Bragg, James, Willis should be investigated by the DOJ until a crime is found. Their law licenses taken away. Bankrupted. Laws changed to further the endeavors.


Elections have consequences.

Sure,

My point is more that they probably can't actually do it.

Our very political generals at the Pentagon are practically warrior-monks and strategic geniuses compared to the motley crew of communist party stooges in charge of the PLA

And as we have pointed out.

The Chinese army is not build to fight Taiwan or the USA

It's built to be a party security organization and to police the Chinese people and keep them under the thump of the CCP

I don't think they could pull off a Taiwan invasion even if Xi ordered it

Deport the illegals & reform immigration to make it easier for productive migrants to come here. No terrorists, gang bangers, or criminals like guise Biden & Harris welcomed in by the thousands or millions.

It's not ticket science: America welcomes migrants who obey our laws & contribute to our society, not criminals. People who come here illegally have no right to be here and should be deported.
