Ben, you have described exactly what is going on. The Lefties of the Deep State are in control of just about everything. Even a chunk of the supposed GOP are with the Deep Staters. These people are concerned about one thing only, the preservation of their reservation on the Potomac, and most the enlargement of its power. I notice that the MAGA folks, with their control of the executive and very slim majorities in both houses, still do not have enough power to do very much. They have pretty much been shut down. Everywhere.

I do not understand the MAGA mentality right now. Like Adm.1, they are just lying down and taking it. There are people on the blog who believe Trump is just a part of it and all his bantering about is just that. I wonder. If he does not challenge the judiciary by just ignoring it, I will continue to wonder. The people spoke in November, they are definitely not getting what they voted for. We voted for a warrior and his group and so far, 100 days later, all we have seen is a bunch of wimps. Where is Bondi and her campaign against Lawfare? Letitia James is giving the middle finger to the administration with tariffs (along with the AG of Blue Arizona) and no reaction. Don’t the MAGA crowd realize that more than anything else, the people want strength by MAGA against the onslaught presented by the Leftist media, judiciary and Congress with the RINOs. 100 days later and what has been done, a few things re: immigration and tariffs, both of which are soon to be under attack by the judiciary. If something is not done, the judiciary is going to be running the government, and the Trump election representing the people will be meaningless.

I look at the “disorder” of the Dems as presented by Fox. The MAGA has done nothing to exploit it, nothing. They just sit on their collective ass and watch and listen to the Left blistering them over and over. Where is that Trump strength we were promised? Sanders and AOC? Raskin? Carville? Pritsker? Walz? Newsom? If Trump cannot handle these light weights, we are finished. Oh, forgot Van Hollen, who, against the law, went to El Salvador to contest the immigration will of the Trumpers, followed by four reps. Where is Bondi, enforcing the law prohibiting private citizens from doing just that?

This country is heading for dissolution. There is no Robespierre to unite it, no effective leader up to now. This president has 4 years minus 100 days to do something, he needs to start pretty quick. This country has a bad habit of rejecting weak presidents in off-year elections, let’s hope something happens soon to offset that happening. JHK just presented three options, let’s go, MAGA.

Excellent points John! We need to give Trump this entire year to drown the rats in the swamp, because there are many hundreds if not thousands. Such an incredible web of corruption and lies the leftist have spun on the American people. How anyone can continue to call themselves a democrat today is beyond me, but if you look at the amount of mental illness amongst us, we can get a better understanding of how. If these most demented people are proud of being called Leftist, and having a donkey as their political symbol, then we can understand that the democrats are a bunch of asses🫏 that do nothing right:)

Thanks to our lovely government, more people are being squeezed into Have-Not status. We had a manufacturing “paradise” in the Midwest for fifty years that the government “sold” to other lands. Tonight, I was asked to guess what percentage of dress in the USA is manufactured here. I did not have a clue. 2% I was told. A question I would like to know is how much of our oil usage still comes from other lands, including Canada. I do not believe Trump that we are independent of oil. Medicines are manufactured in China, as well as most PPE for healthcare protection. How many healthcare workers were infected with Covid because of limited protective gear. The biggest fiasco is the need for mini-computers in just about everything. Wonderful, except most are made in Taiwan. China is just foaming at the mouth, anticipating how much the acquisition of Taiwan is going to clobber the USA. Reaction is already happening here as two Fabs are being built in Phoenix.

Anyway, I continuously wonder where all the employable people have gone. The unemployment rate at 4%, I just do not see how that is possible. I will say that when I visit a fast food place, I see more older folks now than teens. Are they being held in long term unemployed which is not monitored by the media? The unemployment situation right now is a gigantic falsehood.

The Have-Nots in the country are skyrocketing as phony welfare recipients are being found out, and phony jobs that have been created by the government are being stopped. Manufacturing is the opportunity for the expansion needed. A couple of articles I have seen are saying that bringing manufacturing back is a big mistake as Americans do not want manufacturing jobs. That really pisses me off. I have an idea, cut off the illicit welfare payments, the illegals support, the disability fraud, and people will be lining up for those new jobs.

You are very in tune brother John, but it took over fifty years to get to this end game, and it cannot be fixed In 100 days, or two or even two years. We are giving it until the Fall, and if we don’t see at least a dozen players incarcerated, then we have to go to plan B. So much corruption to address and so little time. And the most corrupt and demented people fighting against us…..

What are ‘Fabs’? Being built in Phoenix

Fabs are slang for wafer fabrication facilities. When I worked in one in the 80s, most were in the USA. Boy did that change in a hurry. Two are being built here in Phoenix, one from Taiwan.

We've been played...again! I hate being a Sucker. I really wanted to believe the best was possible. Not this perfidy of more sanctions on Russia, for God's sake! And, there's no way to justify them, since the scads of other ones have had no effect. So what does Trumpster do. MORE SANCTIONS?! Puh-leeze.

Pam Bondi seems to be Jeff Sessions after gender affirming surgery.

It might have been simple too, Sessions had no cojones.

To be fair to Sessions, he was from the old world of the USA, where political opponents were only prosecuted upon solid evidence of a serious crime. The Hilbot was low hanging fruit, but Jeff probably felt it would help heal the Nation after the divisive 2016 election to not have a go at her and her machine. The events of the succeeding months, including "Russiagate" should have disabused Sessions of those old fashioned notions of American Government justice, but they didn't.

As for Ms. Bondi, having been witness to the last eight years, she has no excuse for not prosecuting and locking up hundreds of people for the insurrection they are currently waging against the Trump administration. Well, maybe they have Kompromat on her. Surveillance is everywhere in the Land of the Free. Merrick had no qualms going after the J6 "Insurrectionist," but he apparently on the side of all that is right and good in the New USA, and we just don't get that we're living in Bizarroworld.

Sessions was an old style Deep Stater, DC Crony. Trump was nuts for picking him, and a lot of hie first cabinet for the same reason.
