During an all-American State of the Union address, President Donald Trump laid out a vision rooted in national sovereignty, public safety, and measurable success.

We have to accept the fact Democrats do not want any of these results. They want a chaotic, expensive, strife-ridden society where the country is being dragged through the mud every day. The Roman Empire with Caligula in charge would suit them fine.

I loved it when Trump called the Dems out on their rude, unbelievably unpatriotic behavior. Also when he was talking about insider trading and asked if Pelosi stood. I never saw the camera pan on her on Fox, not sure about other networks. Every Dem who refused to go to the State-of-the-Union Address ought to be primarred.

Their rebuttal was a clown show and terrible look. Frogs in costumes, twerking? What the hell were they thinking" A measured response with reasons why they oppose Trump's policies is one thing but this was freakish. And the screaming at him by some Dems was ludicrous. They looked unhinged and It exposed them as crazy fools who shouldn't be anywhere near the levers of power.

The Trump legacy will be that he finally convinced conservatives to stop bringing a knife to a gunfight. The liberals hate him because, unlike his predecessors, he fights back.

Trump didn't care that they were rude to him. He wanted everyone to see that dems are anti American and anti basic decency. Trump wanted the country to see that dems failures were not only political, they are moral failures. Dems are not decent human beings. He actually called them crazy but the condemnation went far beyond that and was done in a way that will be hard to forget and almost impossible to refute.

My friend Captain Royce Williams (U.S. Navy, Retired) received the Medal of Honor at the SOTU Monday night. Conspicuously absent were his democratc congressional representative Scott Peters and both Kalifornia senators Schiff and Padilla. They were at the DNC alternate universe clown show with the singing giraffe and dancing frogs. How could they possibly abandon and dishonor a true hero during this momentus event. FOR SHAME!

It's very obvious that the Left wants to destroy our country and then rebuild it in their Communist utopia. Why else wouldn't they celebrate success? And on top of that they are soulless. Why else wouldn't they stand in support of victims of violence? Democrats today are delusional and evil at the same time.

They'd have cheered if Kamala (Or any other democrat) had said it, even if they knew it was an absolute heinous lie. They MIGHT have even cheered if an 'establishment , deep-state pseudo-Republican' had said it. But they hate Trump (and MAGA in general) so much that they would curse him if he cured their cancer, or jumped in and saved them when they were drowning.

The Democrats’ Epic Fury Over Iran Strikes 10 replies
Posted by gaboy 3/2/2026 12:30:18 AM Post Reply
It was hardly necessary to consult Nostradamus to predict that the Democrats, who profess to abhor oppressive authoritarian theocracies, would denounce President Trump’s decision to topple the government of Iran — the very definition of such a regime. Nor was it a surprise that they downplay or simply ignore the obvious elation with which the Iranians themselves greeted the long overdue demise of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. It is striking, however, that the Democrats fail to see that their reflexive attacks on Trump for taking action (snip) reinforces the public perception that their party is weak and out of touch.

A few days ago, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) gave America some very welcome news. During a press conference he said that his Democratic members had two choices with regard to President Trump‘s upcoming State of the Union address: “The two options that are in front of us, in our house, is either attend with silent defiance, or to not attend.” This will definitely be a win-win for everyone who tunes in Tuesday evening to hear what the President has to say about his first-year accomplishments and future plans for the country.

tates don't come much bluer than Maryland. My father-in-law, who lived much of his adult life in Maryland, was heavily involved in local politics there, as a conservative Democrat - there were some then, and in Maryland, even in the '60s and '70s, you registered Democrat, or you were shut out of the process. He has told me on numerous occasions that there wasn't an elected official in Maryland who had two IQ points to rub together. Advertisement Case in point: Governor Wes Moore, who on Wednesday was eviscerated by Press Secretary Karolyn Leavitt for his action prohibiting local law enforcement from working with Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Redistricting Betrayal in Virginia 15 replies
Posted by gaboy 2/16/2026 1:56:09 AM Post Reply
Five years ago, two-thirds of Virginia voters passed a referendum that ostensibly eliminated partisan gerrymandering from the congressional redistricting process that follows each decennial census. This amended the commonwealth’s constitution such that redistricting would thence forth be carried out by the Virginia Redistricting Commission (VRC) rather than state politicians burdened by conflicts of interest. This bill of goods was sold to the Old Dominion’s voters as “election reform” by a very expensive public relations campaign run by various Democrat-affiliated activist groups. It was obvious that the VRC would be jettisoned when it no longer served Democrat interests.
The SAVE Act: Why Are Senate Republicans Dithering? 13 replies
Posted by gaboy 2/9/2026 12:07:39 AM Post Reply
In almost all midterm congressional elections, the President’s party loses seats in the House of Representatives. The only exceptions occurred in 1902, 1934, 1998, and 2002. This obviously means the razor thin Republican House majority — and thus the GOP’s governing trifecta — will be in considerable peril next November. This being the case, common sense dictates that certain crucial bills should be prioritized by Congress and sent to President Trump’s desk for signature post haste. Considering the insecure and chaotic manner in which federal elections are conducted in blue states, the SAVE Act clearly falls into the must pass category.

In a big blow to the Trump-deranged community, Melania Trump’s eponymous movie knocked the lights out on its opening weekend. It came in at No. 3 overall, and its $7 million box office take in three days is almost unheard of for a documentary. “Melania” is crushing it on Rotten Tomatoes, too, with a 99% audience score on the “popcorno­meter” easily besting the sneering critics’ 10% on the Tomatometer ratings. Like everything to do with Donald Trump’s two presidencies, whatever the leftist media’s opinion, the American public thinks the opposite. The inverse media-ometer is one of the most reliable gauges of public sentiment in this country.

Veteran conservative commentator Victor Davis Hanson on Monday shared an update on the major health issue that he announced at the end of 2025 that forced him to step away from his podcast and other media appearances. Hanson started his update — which he shared on X — with some good news, saying the removal of a cancerous lung mucinous adenoma carcinoma and the lower right lung lobe in early January was successful. But he said his recovery has been “slowed” down by a post-operation aneurism, which has led to “low red blood counts, fatigue, and bouts of arterial fibrillation.”

During the 2025 gubernatorial election the voters of Virginia believed they were choosing between pragmatic Democrat Rep. Abigail Spanberger and lackluster Republican Lieutenant Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. The former was well funded and portrayed favorably by the corporate “news” media as a centrist, while the latter struggled to raise money and was labeled an extremist because of her strong support of gun rights. Spanberger won by double digits and most Virginians thought they were getting a slightly more liberal governor than her predecessor, Glenn Youngkin. Yet the moment she took office, it became obvious that Gov. Spanberger was no moderate.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., likes to argue that the “whole point” of protesting is to make people “uncomfortable.” Debate. Dissent. Running highly misleading political ads on TV. These are all part of our great tradition of political discourse. In this, as in so much else, the Democrat darling is incorrect. Taking to the streets to disrupt the lives of average citizens is a leftist ideal, not an American one. It’s antithetical to the highest virtue of republicanism, namely, minding your own business.

Texas state Rep. James Talarico secured a victory over Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democrat primary for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, overturning weeks of polling that had shown the Dallas congresswoman with a significant advantage in the race to determine the party’s nominee in the 2026 contest for the seat currently held by Republican Sen. John Cornyn. Recent polling ahead of the March 3 primary showed Crockett leading. A University of Texas at Tyler poll conducted Feb. 13–22 surveyed 1,117 registered voters and 959 likely voters and found Crockett with 55 percent support compared to Talarico’s 37 percent, outside the poll’s 3.2-point margin of error

The son of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was selected to replace him as supreme leader, according to a report in opposition media. Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was tapped to assume control of the country by Iran’s Assembly of Experts, a powerful body of clerics, Iranian International said Tuesday. The report was widely being picked up by Israeli media but had not been confirmed by Iranian state mouthpieces. Mojtaba was at first believed to have been among the 40 top Iranian aides killed during the Saturday strike that took out Iran’s highest-ranking cleric.

Can We See The End Of The Income Tax From Here? 16 replies

The federal income tax is abusive. It is inconsistent with liberty. It has, as Chief Justice John Marshall noted, the power to destroy. There is nothing positive to be said about it. It cannot even raise government revenues efficiently. As we said a year ago, of all the good Donald Trump could do in his second term, eliminating the federal income tax would be one of his greatest achievements. It’s clearly one of his goals. “As time goes by, I believe the tariffs paid for by foreign countries will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax,” Trump said during his State of the Union address.

Fatima Iqbal-Zubair is a candidate for the state’s 65th Assembly District and her husband, Fazlul Zubair, is an engineer manager for Raytheon, the New York Post reported Monday. The United States and Israel launched a joint military operation targeting Iran on Saturday in part to ensure the regime will never have the capability to threaten the world with nuclear weapons, according to Breitbart News.

A Russian mogul who once called sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell his “soulmate” was found dead in a luxury Moscow apartment Monday, according to reports — just weeks after his name surfaced in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Umar Dzhabrailov, a Chechen businessman and former senator, was discovered lying in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to his head at about 3 a.m., Russian outlet Kommersant reported, citing police sources who called it a suspected suicide. Police discovered a Luger pistol lying by the 67-year-old’s body. But Dzhabrailov — who had tried to take his life in 2020 — didn’t leave a suicide note, the sources said.

Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) has been a lightning rod for criticism due to her outlandish statements, ever-changing accents, and generally reprehensible behavior. Yet somehow, she thought she was ready for the United States Senate. The voters are weighing in, and their answer so far is: yeah, maybe not so much. Although the official vote count has not been made final, Crockett trails at this hour to her competitor, TX state representative James Talarico. There’s already some legal back and forth, and courts are involved, so the final outcome may not be confirmed for days. Already, though, Crockett is blaming her poor performance on… election fraud.
