One Chart To Kill The Medicaid Lies For Good
Posted By: RockyTCB, 7/31/2025 9:18:01 AM
Can anyone guess what is wrong with the following headline? “Democrats use new tactic to highlight Trump’s gutting of Medicaid: billboards in the rural U.S.” That appeared in The Guardian newspaper over the weekend. How about this one from NPR: “GOP governors stay silent amid plans to slash Medicaid spending in their states.” Or this one from AP: “Rural hospitals brace for financial hits or even closure under Republicans’ $1 trillion Medicaid cut“ Or this one from NBC News: “Another report suggests Medicaid cuts could lead to thousands of deaths.” Or countless others

President Trump’s First Six Months In
Office: I&I/TIPP Poll 10 replies
You might think that the first six months of President Donald Trump’s second term in office has been especially rough on the media. But if you do, you’re very wrong. In fact, though still not in positive territory, trust in the media has jumped sharply over the same half-year period a year earlier, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
In I&I/TIPP’s online national poll of 1,421 adults, taken from June 25 to June 27, we asked (as we do each month) the following question:
Generally speaking, how much trust do you have in the traditional or established news media (Example: Washington Post, New York Times,
The political left will never recover from Trump Derangement Syndrome. President Donald Trump could put the economy on a perpetual growth path, stop World War III, bring permanent peace to the Middle East, resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict and in his spare time cure cancer and put a man on Mars, and the Democrats and progressives would still blindly hate him. Would the Republicans and conservatives who have battered and cursed him since 2015 continue to bitterly disapprove of him, as well?
Trump has had an extraordinary run so far. An AI analysis by Newsweek says the first six months of Trump’s second term “have been the most
Shortly after President Donald Trump accused Barack Obama of treason – an epithet that has been thrown at Trump practically every day – Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbush said: “These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.”
Distraction from what?
Rodenbush didn’t have to say, because the media have been busy filling in that blank.
“Trump tries to distract from Epstein by casually accusing Obama of treason,” is how MSNBC put it. CNN’s headline blared
You’ve heard it countless times. Climate change is the biggest threat to humanity since the dawn of man. Nothing else compares. Well, nothing except hatred of Elon Musk.
The same people who want to ban gas-powered cars to “save the planet” decided, bizarrely, to attack Musk (for the unpardonable sin of trying to root out waste and fraud in the federal government) by targeting Tesla drivers.
Well, it worked. Tesla sales are down. Tesla earnings are down.
But those who are in the market for an EV didn’t rush to buy plug-ins made by other companies. The entire market is down.
One of the most important provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill has gone completely unnoticed, but promises to make the auto industry great again.
For 50 years, the federal government has been forcing fuel economy standards on auto companies. If the average fuel economy of the cars sold in a year exceeded a federal standard, the companies had to cough up enormous penalties.
Passed in 1975 as a way to deal with an energy crisis (that was caused by government price controls), “corporate average fuel economy” (CAFE) standards – required the fleet of cars sold by an automaker to achieve
The Democratic Party’s attempt to “resist” President Donald Trump is backfiring, the latest I&I/TIPP poll shows. A plurality of American adults now believe the one-time party of the center has gone too far to the left.
Voters who responded to the online national poll of 1,421 adults, taken from June 25 to June 27, were asked the following question: “Do you think the Democratic Party has become too radical in its views and policies?”
A strong plurality of 45% of all poll respondents said yes, while 36% said no and another 18% said they weren’t sure. The poll’s margin of error is +/-2.7 percentage points.
Two impeachments didn’t do it. A phony Russian hoax didn’t do it. A dubious election loss didn’t do it. Relentlessly negative coverage didn’t do it. Civil and criminal judgments and massive fines didn’t do it. Two assassination attempts didn’t do it.
Maybe Jeffrey Epstein’s ghost will finally bring Donald Trump down. That seems to be the hope, anyway.
Epstein, who hobnobbed with the rich and famous, had been under investigation since 2005 for sex trafficking and pedophilia, and died in prison six years ago, has been responsible for conspiracy theories for years.
As NPR wrote in 2022:
Is There No Cure For Democrats’ Derangement?

We’ve noted before that today’s Democrats are operating with a mental deficit. A new poll further confirms they are a broken people. While it’s good for a cheap laugh, because they are often smug, condescending and hateful to those who disagree with them, their fragile psychological state poses a threat to the republic.
A Rasmussen poll released Monday found that 60% of Democratic voters still believe “the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 election.” As disturbing as that is, 69% of those who self-identify as “liberals” believe Donald Trump conspired with Moscow to beat Hillary Clinton.
Mamdani Vs. The Billionaires
7 replies
There are 123 billionaires living in New York City. Zohran Mamdani, the socially and economically advantaged socialist boy who’s apparently never held a real job and is busy stoking class warfare as he campaigns to be the city’s next mayor, says they shouldn’t exist. Voters need to know that their city can get along just fine without Mamdani. But it would fall into a raging hellhole without billionaires.
“I don’t think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality, and ultimately, what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country,”
A headline in Axios over the weekend carried this scary warning: “An increasing share of American adults are going hungry.”
The “shocking data point” comes, the story says, “at a time when the stock market is hitting record highs and President Donald Trump just signed a bill slashing food benefits.”
But take a look at the chart Axios published in that tear-jerking story, which is based on data from Morning Consult. Notice anything?
Morning Consult started tracking “food insecurity” in 2021. And, sure enough, it was on the rise – the entire time Joe Biden was president.
Those Marxist Democrats
7 replies
What will the Democratic Party’s 2028 platform look like? The way things are going, no one should be surprised if it looks like a manifesto written by a couple of bitter, revolutionary 19th-century Germans.
Marxism is no longer on the Democratic Party fringe. It is taking it over.
We see this in the unpleasantness of Zohran Mamdani, the recent winner of the New York City mayoral primary.
The callow Mamdani describes himself as a “Democratic Socialist.” Fact-checkers, who seem to never fact check the incessant claims by the media and Democratic politicians and operatives that President Donald Trump and other Republicans are fascists, say he’s no communist.

The leftist mob is now melting down over Dunkin’s latest “genetics” ad — just days after Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle campaign was slammed as so-called Nazi propaganda. The donut company is the latest to find itself in the liberal firing line after dropping its new commercial featuring “The Summer I Turned Pretty” star Gavin Casalegno earlier this week. The 30-second clip, which was posted on the chain’s social media accounts, shows the heartthrob gushing that his tan is down to genetics.
In recent weeks, a scandal of epic proportions has come to light, confirming that the Obama administration rigged intelligence to concoct the Russia collusion narrative against Donald Trump, and the conspiracy went all the way to the top: Barack Obama himself.
This is no longer hearsay, thanks to two explosive document releases from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. (Snip) But speaking the truth in a rigged game is a recipe for punishment. When the analyst tried to report his concerns, he was promptly silenced by Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), then the Democratic chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee,
WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton approved a plan hatched by a top campaign adviser to “smear” then-candidate Donald Trump with false claims of Russian collusion and distract from her own mounting email scandal during the 2016 campaign, according to explosive intelligence files declassified Thursday. The intelligence came from two memos obtained by the Obama administration in the lead-up to the Clinton-Trump contest and laid out “confidential conversations” between members of the Democratic National Committee and liberal billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
Nancy Pelosi appeared rattled and visibly annoyed during a CNN interview this week when anchor Jake Tapper confronted her with Donald Trump’s accusations of insider trading. The former House speaker had joined the program to discuss the 60th anniversary of Medicaid, but things quickly went off-script when Tapper tried to bring up Trump’s pointed remarks.
Tapper began to quote Trump, saying, “Nancy Pelosi became rich—” before Pelosi abruptly cut him off. “Why—why do you have to read that?” she snapped, clearly not happy with where the discussion was going.
Tapper attempted to defuse the tension, saying he just wanted
An Islamic center in Minnesota penned a gushing letter of support for a Somalian migrant convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl. Qalinle Ibrahim Dirie, 42, was convicted in May of first-degree criminal sexual conduct after he was found guilty of abducting the girl from her backyard and raping her in June 2024. Following his conviction, Dirie's local Islamic center, Al-Ihsan Islamic Center in St. Paul, submitted a heartfelt letter begging Hennepin County District Court Judge Michael Burns to consider the convicted criminal's 'character' before delivering a sentence, Alpha News reported.
For 150 years, Presidents, Administrations, and White House Staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed. President Donald J. Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on behalf of future Administrations and the American people.
The White House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in the world, yet the White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders and other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building entrance.
Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I’d like to talk about illegal immigration, but specifically about the new president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum.
She’s been very vocal about U.S. policy toward Mexico. For example, she said she would offer legal counsel to her citizens that were here illegally that were picked up, she thought, unfairly or too violently by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.She also said that the United States had no business taxing remittances—that is money that Mexican nationals here, for the most part illegally, send back to Mexico.
She said, “Do not come into Mexican national ground if you’re going after the cartels.”
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has privately discussed the idea of running for political office next year in Tennessee, according to two people who have spoken directly with him about it.
If Hegseth were to follow through on the discussions, it would amount to a major leadership shake-up at the department that oversees the American military and millions of federal employees. The Defense Department bars civilian employees from running for political office, meaning Hegseth would have to resign to do so.
In a statement, Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, said, “Hegseth’s focus remains solely on serving under President Trump.”
According to a Fox News release, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino found multiple files related to the FBI activity in the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, which included the classified annex to the John Durham investigation, inside burn bags in a secret room at the FBI building in Washington, DC. (snip)Sources told Fox News Digital that one of the documents FBI officials found in a burn bag was the classified annex to former special counsel John Durham’s final report, which includes the underlying intelligence he reviewed.

On Thursday’s broadcast of NPR’s “Morning Edition,” Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) argued that redistricting by Democrats that was favorable to them in states like Illinois, Oregon, and New Mexico is different from what Republicans are doing with redistricting in Texas because “there [are] criteria that goes into how the lines are to be drawn. You can’t do it in a discriminatory fashion.” And stated “folks are watching for” if Republicans will follow voting rights protections.
Co-host A Martínez asked, [relevant exchange begins around 2:10] “But Democrats had redistricting efforts in the past, Illinois, Oregon, New Mexico, in recent years, to their advantage. Why is this any different?”

"You wrote a book? You couldn't make it through a speech without the teleprompter, but you want people to believe you wrote a book?"
Those are the words of Trump impersonator extraordinaire Shawn Farash in response to former vice president and miserably failed 2024 Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris, who announced on Wednesday the upcoming release of her "behind-the-scenes look" at arguably the most disastrous presidential campaign in modern American history.

Alas, the day is here: the annex to the Durham report, the investigation into the origins of the Russian collusion hoax that former Attorney General William Barr initiated, has been declassified and released. It was discovered in the FBI burn bags by Director Kash Patel. It wasn’t just this file—thousands of documents related to the Russian interference investigation that the Obama DOJ, or lack thereof, conducted. The annex is clear about a few things, some of which you’ve already read about from Katie.
