Trump Fanboys And Never-Trumpers Are Cut
From The Same Cloth

Last week, we published an analysis of President Donald Trump’s affordability speech by guest contributor Bob Maistros, who used his decades of communications, political, and speechwriting experience to argue that the speech missed the mark. Bob’s piece got picked up by some other conservative blogs, which resulted in a flurry of negative comments on our sites and others. Comments along the lines of: “You are simply a hater as well as absolutely wrong. President Trump, on the other hand is absolutely correct. MAGA all day every day.” “Really? We’re talking about ‘tone’? That’s the bailiwick of unserious people. Y’know, like Obama.”

“Intersectionality” is the mother’s milk of the anti-American, anti-capitalist and anti-Western ideologues who have been ramping up their violence this year.
But few Americans are focusing on this threat — just look at the sparse coverage of the recently indicted Turtle Island Liberation Front.
On Tuesday, a bombshell grand-jury indictment alleged that the group plotted to use “weapons of mass destruction” to “completely pulverize” tech companies and other targets.
That means we’d better start paying attention — because intersectionality fuels the coalition of leftists, anarchists and Islamists intent on tearing down our country.

Europeans from entering US due to ‘extraterritorial censorship’ 0 replies
The State Department is barring five “egregious” European figures in the “global censorship-industrial complex” from entering the US, it revealed Tuesday.
State Department officials contended that those five Europeans flouted a visa policy rolled out in May restricting those who work to censor protected speech in the US from entering the country.
“For far too long, ideologues in Europe have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms to punish American viewpoints they oppose,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared Tuesday.
Even more surprising than the blockbuster 4.3% economic growth rate recorded in the third quarter of 2025 was the fact that some 90% of the nation’s professional economists got it all wrong.
These economic whiz-kids’ faulty forecast comes on the heels of their predictions last week that inflation was going to be above 3%. Instead, the actual number was 2.7%.
Welcome to the gang that can’t shoot straight.
Maybe it’s time for this cadre of Keynesian economists to send their PhDs back to the Ivy League schools they got them from, and just admit they have no idea what they’re talking about.
Brown University placed its campus police chief on administrative leave Monday as it undergoes a comprehensive review of its security protocols and response to the Dec. 13 shooting that left two students dead and nine injured.
The school’s president, Christina Paxton, announced several actions in an email to the Brown University community Monday night, including an “After-Action Review” of the shooting, which will entail “a complete assessment and evaluation of campus safety in the period leading up to the tragedy, the preparedness and response on the date of the shooting, and the emergency management response in the aftermath.”

Disgraced first son Hunter Biden turned on his father, Joe, in a wide-ranging podcast interview this week, acknowledging that the 46th president’s lax immigration policy and move to pull US forces out of Afghanistan were both catastrophic failures.
We need vibrant immigration,” the 55-year-old told “The Shawn Ryan Show” during a five-and-a-half-hour conversation that dropped Monday.
“But we don’t want immigrants that are coming here illegally, draining us of resources, and being prioritized above people that are actual, literal heroes, that are still recovering from 21, 20 years of endless war — or anybody else in our society.”
Michigan’s “disastrous” ranked-choice voting drive is dead — for now. And Wolverine State election-integrity warriors can take a bow for killing it.
Organizers of Rank MI Vote, the group behind a campaign to bring the alternative voting system that liberals love to the purple state, is “pausing signature gathering efforts,” Bridgemi.com reported. The petition drive was a long way from reaching the 446,198 signatures needed to bring a RCV constitutional amendment question to the November 2026 ballot.
“We were sensing the RCV folks were losing momentum,” Darlene Hennessy, a Wayne County volunteer who led Michigan Fair Elections Institute’s opposition movement, said in an MFEI post.
President Trump revealed that he does not like the Justice Department’s release of embarrassing photos of a half-naked Bill Clinton swimming with late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell.
“No, I don’t like the pictures of Bill Clinton being shown,” he told reporters Monday. “I don’t like the pictures of other people being shown. I think it’s a terrible thing.”
“But you probably have pictures being exposed of other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago.” Former President Bill Clinton is seen in an image from the Epstein files dump with a blurred-out person nearby.

As we reported, the head honcho at CBS News, editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, pulled a 60 Minutes story about illegal aliens Sunday night, and the folks on the left are losing their minds. The piece was supposed to be about the treatment of illegal aliens in the CECOT prison in El Salvador. 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi complained in an email that leaked out to the public that it was more of a "political call" than an editorial decision to kill the story.

But editor in chief Bari Weiss nuked the whining, saying the piece wasn't ready.
Óscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga, great-nephew of the dictators Fidel and Raúl Castro, has been appointed deputy to the National Assembly of People's Power in a session marked by inexplicable resignations of several parliamentarians.
This appointment, which took place on December 17, 2025, is not a mere bureaucratic procedure, but a strategic step that legally enables him to run for the presidency of the Republic in the upcoming sham elections of 2028, perpetuating the legacy of communist oppression on the island.

Immigration & Sexual Violence – Nothing to See Here!
Britain is now the sort of country where you can get an instant answer to ‘What is the carbon footprint of a sausage roll?’. Yet if you ask, ‘Are we importing risk to women along with importing people?’ our nation state stares at its shoes and starts muttering about ‘complexity’.
Let us begin with two official lines that any half-awake citizen can see are rising at the same time.
Line one, sexual violence. The ONS crime bulletin for the year ending June 2025 reports 211,225 sexual offences recorded by the police in England and Wales are up 9% from the previous year.
America has long been a beacon of freedom to the oppressed, a shining symbol of liberty with – as our leftist friends tell us – an unlimited moral obligation to provide perpetual shelter to anyone who suffers at the hands of their government. Millions of people from around the world have ignored that irritating asylum requirement that you apply at the first country you reach and have come all the way over here to America in a quest to quench their yearning for being free (as well as their yearning to turn our country into the same kind of garbage hellhole they allegedly fled from, but that’s another column).

Democratic Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said on Monday that Somalis are to thank for “every achievement” that the city has ever had.
Somalis have gained national attention after several were charged with stealing over $1 billion from Minnesota’s social programs, including those intended to feed poor children. Wu claimed that the Somalians are responsible for every positive thing that has happened in Boston.
“You cannot talk about any achievement that the city of Boston has had in safety, jobs, and economic development, in education, without talking about the Somali community that has lifted our city up. We are proud and we are grateful for our Somali community and

Nearly two weeks after the December meeting of the Georgia State Election Board, some continue to claim Fulton County was fraudulent because tabulation tapes were not signed that included 315,000 votes. Five years after the 2020 election, challenges continue despite multiple audits. (snip) Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger addressed the accusations in a social media post. "Georgia has the most secure elections in the country and all voters were verified with photo ID and lawfully cast their ballots. A clerical error at the end of the day does not erase valid, legal votes," Raffensperger said.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was buried under backlash after a tone-deaf post lamenting the “most vulnerable” illegal aliens in her community.
The Democrat’s post on social media last week touted a holiday donation drive for families not feeling “safe” in the California city, and it generated criticism on X that continued to reverberate for days.
“For many immigrant families, this holiday season is marked by absence and fear. Loved ones are missing due to immigration enforcement actions, and many families do not feel safe leaving their homes to participate in holiday traditions,” Bass wrote in the post, accompanied by photos from the toy drive.

National Guard to Chicago as legal challenge

Washington — The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a bid by the Trump administration to deploy National Guard members to the Chicago area while a legal challenge moves forward, delivering a setback to President Trump in his effort to use federalized troops in Illinois to ensure enforcement of federal immigration laws.
The high court left untouched a judge's decision blocking the government from putting National Guard members on the streets of Chicago and surrounding areas. The Trump administration had urged the Supreme Court to allow the extraordinary move to deploy the troops over the objection of Illinois' Democratic governor, arguing that federal courts cannot second-guess

Gov. Tim Walz says the state is anticipating and preparing for increased ICE enforcement actions over the holidays, including the possibility of ICE agents targeting Christmas Eve mass. (snip) "We hear rumors, we hear suggestions of things, because that's how they operate, that there will be an increased presence," said Gov. Walz. "I would tell you, if I were a betting person, they will do it over these holiday seasons because it makes it especially cruel."
Former Republican Senator Ben Sasse announced Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, calling the diagnosis “a death sentence.”
“This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I’ll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die,” Sasse wrote in a post on X.
Sasse served as a senator for the state of Nebraska from 2015 to 2023, at which point he resigned to become the president of the University of Florida from February 2023 to July 2024.

In this episode of "Try to Control Your Shock and Amazement..."
There's no doubt that Minnesota governor and erstwhile Democrat vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz is, shall we say "different"? And if you're like me, you still shudder at the mere thought of what would have become of the country we love if the equally *brilliant* Kamala Harris had not been decisively mauled by President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Apparently, a group of nearly 100 Minnesota mayors has already learned.
So yeah, 98 mayors across Minnesota have sounded the alarm in a no-nonsense letter to Walz and state lawmakers, blistering the state’s fiscal mismanagement. The distraught mayors warned that what
Rather than reforming the broken system, Democratic "leaders" kick the can, forcing private-sector job creators to subsidize their failures. California stands alone as the only state in the nation failing to repay its massive federal pandemic-era unemployment loan, now ballooning beyond $20 billion and projected to climb higher. While every other state responsibly used its pandemic funds to settle their debts, Governor Newsom (D) and the Democrat-controlled Legislature chose to spend like drunken sailors, leaving employers -- large and small -- to bear the crushing burden through skyrocketing payroll taxes.

The segment. which was done by correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, centered on interviews with migrants that the Trump administration deported to El Salvador's maximum-security prison, CECOT. "60 Minutes" segment that was delayed by CBS News Editor-In-Chief Barri Weiss on Sunday, appeared to mistakenly air in Canada on Monday by Global TV, which has the rights to "60 Minutes" in Canada. (snip) The Canadian streaming of the show appeared to be a mistake -- CNN called it "inadvertent" -- because networks like CBS sometimes deliver taped programming to affiliates like Global TV early.
