The NYT is shocked, I tell you, shocked at their own poll..
“Many Americans say they do not believe the Democratic Party is focused on the economic issues that matter most to them and is instead placing too much emphasis on social issues that they consider less urgent.
Asked to identify the Democratic Party’s most important priorities, Americans most often listed abortion, L.G.B.T.Q. rights and climate change, according to a poll from The New York Times and Ipsos conducted from Jan. 2 to 10.
The issues that people cited as most important to them personally were the economy and inflation, health care and immigration, the poll found. The kinds of social causes that progressive activists have championed in recent years ranked much lower”
OTTAWA, Feb 1 (Reuters) – Canada will retaliate against President Donald Trump’snew tariffs with 25% levies on a raft of U.S. imports, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Saturday, warning Americans that Trump’s actions would have real consequences for them.
As relations between the long-time allies who share the world’s longest land border reach a new low, Trudeau told a news conference he was slapping tariffs on C$155 billion ($107 billion) of U.S. goods. Those on C$30 billion will take effect on Tuesday, the same day as Trump’s tariffs, and duties on the remaining C$125 billion in 21 days, he said.”
Tariffs would include American beer, wine and bourbon, as well as fruits and fruit juices, including orange juice from Trump’s home state of Florida. Canada would also target goods including clothing, sports equipment and household appliances.
Trudeau encouraged Canadians to buy Canadian products and vacation at home rather than in the U.S”
The protectionists and isolationist will cheer, the American industries and farmers that export to Canada not so much.
JUST IN: Congressman Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) issues new statement about members of Congress trading in the stock market. “We need to eliminate members of Congress from trading individual stocks.”

‘Most democratic nations have elections in their time of war. I think it is important they do so’, Kellogg said. ‘I think it is good for democracy. That’s the beauty of a solid democracy, you have more than one person potentially running’.”
“Keith Kellogg, Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, said in an interview that Ukrainian presidential and parliamentary elections, suspended during the war with Russia, ‘need to be done’.“

Tulsi Gabbard is a former dem who is now affiliated with the Republican Party. The biggest beef politicians, on both sides of the aisle, have with her is that she is independent of all political strings when it comes to giving a fair assessment or telling the truth. Such a trait is unheard of and condemned in the hierarchies of both parties, but is undeniably needed in order to reform our own government.
Grenell already has a position in the administration which directly inks him into implementing Trump’s agenda. An example of his position was the trip to Venezuela, in which he successfully carried Trump’s message to Madura.
Tulsi, OTOH, will be more useful as director of DNI than as a MAGA martyr.
“Tulsi Gabbard is a former dem who is now affiliated with the Republican Party”
She is not “affiliated with the R party”, she merely stated she was leaving the Dem party. She is the same flaming liberal, nothing has changed
Just four years ago she ran for President as a liberal Dem with all the baggage that entails/.
Here is some “truth” for the Cultist.
Gun control?
“She received an F-rating from the NRA, a 0% rating by the Hawaii Rifle Association and a 100% rating by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence for her time in Congress.”
In Congress, Gabbard has co-sponsored bills that would ban assault weapons”
Climate change?
Mandate an end to the use of fossil fuels for electricity by 2050. Ban fracking
One of the most aggressive pieces of climate change legislation in Congress, Gabbard’s “OFF Fuels for a Better Future Act” would mandate a dramatic move away from fossil fuels.
Abortion?
Gabbard believes that abortion should remain legal and accessible. She voted against a proposed ban on abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy”
Big government? Higher taxes?
Gabbard backs Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ proposal to cut or eliminate higher education tuition for most Americans. She would make community college tuition-free for all Americans. The plan would pay for that tuition by imposing a new tax on stock and bond trades.
Single payer, socialized health care?
Gabbard co-sponsored a bill to create a government-run system to provide health care for all residents of the United States.
QThe Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act,” would pay for health care by increasing taxes on the wealthiest 5 percent of Americans, create a progressive excise tax on payroll and self-employment, tax unearned income, and also tax stock and bond transactions (not just the gains from those transactions”
he biggest beef politicians, on both sides of the aisle, have with her is that she is independent of all political strings when it comes to giving a fair assessment or telling the truth”
My biggest beef with her is that she is a flaming liberal who should not be in Trump’s cabinet.
According to Victor Davis Hansen, the Dems and DNC are on the wrong side of public opinion. He predicts their name and brand will further decline in the ratings. Also, electing a weasel like David Hogg as DNC Vise Chair, as a way of attracting the youth vote, will backfire. He has no charisma or no idea of what the average American wants.
The job of DNI has nothing to do with health care, abortion, tax rates. The same goes for climate change or fossil fuels which Trump vehemently supports. What Gabbard would be involved with is to direct and oversee national intelligence, with all 18 IC agencies reporting to her. This is a subject she is well equipped to handle, and demonstrated this ability when questioned in a classified setting according to senators like Tom Cotton.
janzam admits Tulsi is a flaming liberal on health care, abortion, taxes, gun control
Never said that…only stated her job involved coordinating intelligence agencies. Hopefully, she is not as dishonest as you are in continuing to mischaracterize the stances and words of others.
Is it incorrect and a false characterization to say those opposed to Tulsi do so because she is an independent voice.
Some of those who oppose her do so because she will not condemn Edward Snowden for his illegal, disloyal and perhaps traitorous acts regarding the USA.
Perhaps she will do a good job if confirmed. However, those who oppose her confirmation have sufficient reason to do so and their honest and integrity should not be questioned because of HER past acts.
Gabbard repeated numerous times what Snowden did was illegal. However, it is also understood that the surveillance of citizens by the intelligence agencies was also illegal – an illegality exposed by Snowden.
Hopefully, she is not as dishonest as you are in continuing to mischaracterize the stances and words of others.

Tulsi would get nowhere were she running for the Republican nomination for President. She’s not being nominated for that position.
Often, people running for President trade Cabinet roles for support in the election. Kennedy clearly falls in this category. As does the Labor Secretary nominee.
I’m not sure Tulsi falls in that category because she didn’t bring voters Kennedy didn’t already bring. As with AG, Trump wanted an outsider to turn a function completely upside down. She doesn’t trust the intelligence community one bit, and the feeling is mutual. And that’s what Trump wants. I’m sure another person can fit the bill, but that person will get similar treatment (unless Trump caves and puts in an insider).
“The Wall Street Journal went a step further, publishing a scathing op-ed on Saturday titled: “The Dumbest Trade War in History.”
The op-ed argued that Trump’s justification for an “economic assault” on Canada and Mexico “makes no sense” and warned the strategy could end in disaster.”
She doesn’t trust the intelligence community one bit, and the feeling is mutual. And that’s what Trump wants. I’m sure another person can fit the bill, but that person will get similar treatment (unless Trump caves and puts in an insider).
What the Cultists don’t say is that had RFK Jr and Tulsi not endorsed and had Trump NOT nominated them, RFK Jr and Tulsi would be derided here by the “true conservatives” as far left traitors.
But in an instant, voilá, they are now true conservatives also.
If Gabard and Kennedy are confirmed, they will be 2 hardcore leftists in the Cabinet. If that is what Trump wants, so be it but don’t pretend they have changed.
General Milley, Clapper, Brennon all fit the description of “traitor” more than Snowden. Looking at a broader picture of what and why something was done gives a fuller analysis to the grievance. In the case of Snowden his illegality involved showing people what the NSA was illegally and unconstitutionally doing. In 2011 the Obama administration was admonished by the federal courts to stop such surveillance tactics. However in 2022-2023 more than 250,000 incidents happened without warrants to do so. I think Gabbard’s distrust of such intelligence overreach warrants more oversight and reform.
“Is there any specific evidence that backs up Donald Trump’s claims—President Trump’s claims—that DEI or FAA hiring practices are responsible in any way for this tragedy at Reagan National?” Tapper asked.
“So, Jake, I think the better question is, am I going to guarantee the American people that only the best and the brightest serve in this incredibly important body of the Department of Transportation, that they’re driven by safety?”
Contrary to Snowden’s self-portrayal as a principled whistleblower, the report reveals that he was a disgruntled employee who had frequent conflicts with his managers and was reprimanded just two weeks before he began illegally downloading classified documents. Although he claims to have been motivated by privacy concerns, the report finds that Snowden did not voice such concerns to any oversight officials, and his actions infringed on the privacy of thousands of government employees and contractors. Additionally, the vast majority of the documents he stole had no connection to privacy or civil liberties. Furthermore, Snowden’s basic knowledge of NSA programs is thrown into doubt by his failure to pass NSA’s basic annual training on Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Snowden’s actions did severe damage to U.S. national security, compromising the Intelligence Community’s anti-terror efforts and endangering the security of the American people as well as active-duty U.S. troops.
Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said, “Edward Snowden is no hero – he’s a traitor who willfully betrayed his colleagues and his country. He put our servicemembers and the American people at risk after perceived slights by his superiors. In light of his long list of exaggerations and outright fabrications detailed in this report, no one should take him at his word. I look forward to his eventual return to the United States, where he will face justice for his damaging crimes
Trump has the “Midas touch” he can miraculously anoint anyone as a conservative, he even did it for himself.
Trump rarely if ever trumpets the term “conservative” as some do here, like it’s the holy grail of righteousness. Rather, his reasons for policy and people selections are to do right by the people – “putting America first.” RFK wants to find better ways to repel chronic illness. Consequently, he has a long list of physicians behind him, while the pharmaceuticals are paying off politicians to derail him.
Tulsi Gabbard wants the intelligent agencies to be more accountable and responsible in keeping this country secured and more crime-free, not be involved in politically motivated actions against the people. Being touted as “conservative” is nothing but lip service, if it’s not followed up by actions. That’s why she has so many “conservative,” senators, concerned about how rogue our intelligent agencies have drifted, are backing her.
The purists are having a meltdown because Trump is doing what he promised in the campaign.
Apparantly, they wanted the votes of the mouth-breathing knuckle dragging Maga types. The policies promised….not so much.
Oh, well….the classic deadenders can try to get their pure party back beginning three years from now. All in for…..who? DeSantis is trying to sound more Maga than Vance, so maybe Haley. Woot woot….
I bet there are many similar organizations being funded by the U.S. treasury we “don’t know about.” That’s reason enough to suspend much of our foreign aid in order to see exactly who or what shakes out and starts complaining.
Poland’s “Krytyka Polityczna” has announced it has lost funding due to Donald Trump decision to suspend American foreign aid. Krytyka Polityczna claims to be the largest progressive network of institutions and activists in Central and Eastern Europe. It’s mission is “building a new leftist environment in Poland” It was not previously known they were funded by the US government
The main opposition candidate in a theoretical Ukrainian pres. election, fmr Pres. Poroshenko speaking about holding elections during war: “Elections would kill our unity Who would win by holding such elections? Poroshenko? Zelensky? No, just Putin”
“Poroshenko, the leading candidate to beat Zelensky prior to the invasion, explains why Ukraine must wait until the war ends to hold elections. There is Ukrainian unity on this subject.“
If Zelenskyy is right that Ukraine has only received $75 billion of the $177 billion our politicians have wired him, where is the remaining $102 BILLION at? Would any members of Congress and the Biden regime care to answer??? Or should we correctly assume it got laundered back to all your pockets?
Now we know why the fake media tried to gaslight Trump into dumping Vance. Watch him communicate. Dude’s a superstar. Never caught off guard. Likable. Prepared. Cannot be intimidated or guilted with nonsense. MSM’s worst nightmare.
You oppose anything that is keeping Ukraine alive and pushing back against Putin’s invasion. You should be ashamed but I know you are incapable of that. Keep supporting Putin. It is who you are.
Tina, in Bitterworld asking where the money went is akin to loving Pooty Poot. To him, the % missing off the top doesn’t mean squat. If big $$ is missing after it gets to Ukraine, it is no big deal to the war lovers. I know, it is Little Bus logic, but that’s what we are dealing with…..

Gabbard believes that abortion should remain legal and accessible. She voted against a proposed ban on abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy”
Big government? Higher taxes?
Gabbard backs Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ proposal to cut or eliminate higher education tuition for most Americans. She would make community college tuition-free for all Americans. The plan would pay for that tuition by imposing a new tax on stock and bond trades.
Single payer, socialized health care?
Gabbard co-sponsored a bill to create a government-run system to provide health care for all residents of the United States.
QThe Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act,” would pay for health care by increasing taxes on the wealthiest 5 percent of Americans, create a progressive excise tax on payroll and self-employment, tax unearned income, and also tax stock and bond transactions (not just the gains from those transactions”

Tulsi would get nowhere were she running for the Republican nomination for President. She’s not being nominated for that position.
Often, people running for President trade Cabinet roles for support in the election. Kennedy clearly falls in this category. As does the Labor Secretary nominee.
I’m not sure Tulsi falls in that category because she didn’t bring voters Kennedy didn’t already bring. As with AG, Trump wanted an outsider to turn a function completely upside down. She doesn’t trust the intelligence community one bit, and the feeling is mutual. And that’s what Trump wants. I’m sure another person can fit the bill, but that person will get similar treatment (unless Trump caves and puts in an insider).

General Milley, Clapper, Brennon all fit the description of “traitor” more than Snowden. Looking at a broader picture of what and why something was done gives a fuller analysis to the grievance. In the case of Snowden his illegality involved showing people what the NSA was illegally and unconstitutionally doing. In 2011 the Obama administration was admonished by the federal courts to stop such surveillance tactics. However in 2022-2023 more than 250,000 incidents happened without warrants to do so. I think Gabbard’s distrust of such intelligence overreach warrants more oversight and reform.

The truth about Snowden:
Contrary to Snowden’s self-portrayal as a principled whistleblower, the report reveals that he was a disgruntled employee who had frequent conflicts with his managers and was reprimanded just two weeks before he began illegally downloading classified documents. Although he claims to have been motivated by privacy concerns, the report finds that Snowden did not voice such concerns to any oversight officials, and his actions infringed on the privacy of thousands of government employees and contractors. Additionally, the vast majority of the documents he stole had no connection to privacy or civil liberties. Furthermore, Snowden’s basic knowledge of NSA programs is thrown into doubt by his failure to pass NSA’s basic annual training on Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Snowden’s actions did severe damage to U.S. national security, compromising the Intelligence Community’s anti-terror efforts and endangering the security of the American people as well as active-duty U.S. troops.
Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said, “Edward Snowden is no hero – he’s a traitor who willfully betrayed his colleagues and his country. He put our servicemembers and the American people at risk after perceived slights by his superiors. In light of his long list of exaggerations and outright fabrications detailed in this report, no one should take him at his word. I look forward to his eventual return to the United States, where he will face justice for his damaging crimes

Trump rarely if ever trumpets the term “conservative” as some do here, like it’s the holy grail of righteousness. Rather, his reasons for policy and people selections are to do right by the people – “putting America first.” RFK wants to find better ways to repel chronic illness. Consequently, he has a long list of physicians behind him, while the pharmaceuticals are paying off politicians to derail him.
Tulsi Gabbard wants the intelligent agencies to be more accountable and responsible in keeping this country secured and more crime-free, not be involved in politically motivated actions against the people. Being touted as “conservative” is nothing but lip service, if it’s not followed up by actions. That’s why she has so many “conservative,” senators, concerned about how rogue our intelligent agencies have drifted, are backing her.
