What This Swing State Focus Group Said
About Trump, Elon, and DOGE Is a Gut Punch
for Dems

When Barack Obama won the 2008 election, some wondered if this signaled the end of conservatism. Democrats knew how to connect with a winning coalition; they knew how voters felt about the issues. Now, that coalition is dead, with the younger voters, working-class families, and healthy shares of the union rank-and-file becoming Trump supporters. What happened? That’s a long discussion for another time, but it shows that nothing is permanent in politics.

Democrats ARE the government party. Whatever reduces government, reduces their power, not to mention all the money they skim off the top. No wonder they are squealing like the stuck pigs at the trough they are.

I tired of Social Security being referred to as an entitlement program! I've paid into it all my working life and damn well expect to get what I've paid for!

OK kids. Chill out over the inflation. It will take a some time to bring prices down. We have to start with the bottom which is energy, oil and natural gas first. We drill, pump and refine getting the price of fuel down and the cost of moving food and merchandise will go down then the cost manufacturing goes down so on and so on up the chain. Ain’t going to happen in a couple weeks. Since a massive amount of chickens have been slaughtered the price of a dozen eggs have move from two to three dollars to seven dollars here in Ohio. We need to grow a ton of chickens to bring the price down. The good news is the Trump administration is doing all the right things to drive prices down. Be patient!

Elon Musk just dropped a bombshell on the Joe Rogan Experience, confirming what many Americans have long suspected—Washington, D.C. is a cesspool of corruption, and the Democrats are the primary beneficiaries. “I think maybe three-quarters of the graft is Democratic. I think there’s maybe 20–25% that’s Republican,” Musk revealed, exposing how the system is rigged for political elites. “Most of the graft is going to the Democrats, but they throw some bones to the Republicans too, so then they’re in on it.” In a shocking but unsurprising exchange, Musk and Rogan discussed the absurd wealth accumulation of members of Congress,

Every Republican president is Hitler, of course, but Donald Trump is somehow even Hitlerer than all of them. It was a theme in his first term, but during this election, even the corrupt eggplant masquerading as the incumbent got into the act. Trump was Hitler – no, he was Super Hitler. He was more Hitler than Hitler. And it’s a constant theme among the lesser lights of the Democrat Party. “This is what fascism looks like,” intone very serious politicians who seem to have no idea what fascism looks like.

Satellite imagery studied by analysts speaking with NBC News revealed that the Chinese Navy is working on a new ship which will allow fighter jets to be launched from four different areas of the flight deck, which is unlike anything in the current Chinese fleet. “We think this is them testing equipment and layouts for the upcoming Type 04 carrier,” stated James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies researcher Michael Duitsman.

Everything about President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance kicking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s sorry, begging, petulant, pompous, entitled ass out of the White House last Friday is the perfect encapsulation of America First foreign policy in practice, not just in theory. This is exactly what I voted for, and I couldn’t be more proud of our leaders for practicing what they preach, consequences and optics be damned.

Hoo boy, there was some heated back and forth taking place on social media over the weekend as former Obama adviser Susan Rice is getting hammered for her claims that the Zelensky SmackDown in the Oval Office™ Friday was all a setup by Team Trump. As we reported, the Ukrainian president was cut down a notch or two (or three) when he disrespected the United States in the White House over President Trump’s efforts to ensure peace between Ukraine and Russia after three years of war. Former National Security Adviser, Ambassador to the U.N., and Barack Obama acolyte Susan Rice, considered by many to be the epitome of the Deep State,

President Trump has invited a freed Israeli hostage to the White House after being shocked by his stomach-turning interview following 16 months in Hamas captivity. Eli Sharabi, who was released last month after being held by the Palestinian terror group since October 2023, is expected to meet with President Trump on Tuesday, his brother Sharon told Israeli newspaper Haaretz Sunday. (Photo) Trump extended the invitation to Sharabi and other hostages after being shown clips of his harrowing interview describing his torture and starvation.

Host Kristen Welker said, “Welker said, “Senator Lindsey Graham on Friday floated that President Volodymyr Zelensky may need to resign in order for there to be a peace agreement.

As his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovers yet more waste, fraud, and abuse, and in keeping true to his campaign promises, Donald Trump is cleaning up the Federal government’s reckless spending and massive corruption. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush Jr, and Barrack Obama pledged that they would, but, on balance did not. Biden and Harris exacerbated the issue. In the desperate attempt to impede the President’s effort, the Leftist resistance machine is constantly shopping for hack, partisan judges to overstep their authority and create roadblocks.

The Ukrainian president announced the country is "ready to sign" a minerals deal with the US.

For three months last year, he campaigned on the national ticket with Kamala Harris. As late as Election Day, Walz was convinced that he and Harris were headed to the White House.

Speaking at London Stansted Airport after a day meeting with European and world leaders and King Charles, Zelensky said his country's freedom is "not for sale". Despite vowing not to quit despite pressure from the Trump administration after a White House talks descended into a chaotic shouting match, the leader did say he would step down as President if it meant Ukraine could join NATO.

Not unexpectedly, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ruled that unelected bureaucrat, Hampton Dellinger, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel head has more unilateral power within the executive branch of government than President Donald Trump. [RULING pdf HERE]This ruling stems from the same mindset as former AG Bill Barr, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy AG Sally Yates, former IC Inspector General Michael Atkinson, and the entire organization of professional Lawfare activists that includes Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen.
