Monday Morning

This morning I&I/TIPP has the generic congressional ballot at Dem +3

And then in the battle of experts in word salads and corruption, the same pollster has the 2028 DEM primary currently showing Harris 38, Newsom 13, Buttigieg 5, Ocasio-Cortez 2, Shapiro 4, Kelly 3, Pritzker 3, Booker 0, Beshear 2, Whitmer 2

    On another note, it was the monthly Bridge group Monday two table bridge.

    I CAME IN FIRST !!!

    Wond five one dollar bills and told everyone I was off to the strip club.

    But instead, as soon as bridge was over I was off with son to Hagerstown to do more car shopping with and for him. Did I say how much I hate to go car shopping for MYSELF, much less as a wingman for my son…

    Tomorrow will be a trip top Winchester VA….or possibly Gaithersburg MD or maybe into central PA around Shippensurg.

  19. I read where Trump approval rating is down to 34%.

    My take on Trump and what HE does to CONTRIBUTE to that is

    –renaming Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Nobody gives a crap about renaming it…but it makes Trump look foolish.

    –Trump saying I am going to seize Canada talk

    Makes him look a foolish mad man who wants to ignore international law and turns an ally into something less likely to want to work WITH the U.S.

    –Trump saying we are going to seize Greenland

    There is a valid reason for U.S. to have more presence in Greenland. BUT those talks need to be done without fanfare with Denmark without all the verbal bull crap that comes from Trump

    –Trump always making brash but incorrect statements like “we closed the southern border” when he MEANS to say that we have stopped the flood of illegal aliens on the southern border. Not that we have CLOSED the southern border.

    –Trump going out of his way to get to a microphone and trash talk anybody and everybody–Ds, Rs, whoever. Now I must add that I am GLAD he goes after sanctuary state governors and sanctuary city mayors for being opponents of the U.S. constitution and constitutional law. But Trump and his people just do not get that a HUGE majority of American voters are TIRED of all the vindictiveness and unnecessary divisive harshness that comes from Trump.

    –Trump doing crazy sh!t about the Kennedy Center and adding his name to the building, etc.

    Just petty and vindictive.

    –Trump in his feud with FED chairman being too slow in cutting interest rates not sticking to the economic facts and economic reason why cuts make sense, but instead Trump goes into his mean, nasty and crazed bull in a china shop mode and does lots of gutter trash talk about the FED chairman and insults his manhood (and I add that, like Trump, I also think the FED has been too slow in cutting rates and should cut some more)

    –Trump NOT getting on prime time TV early on during MN chaos to explain to American Public what ICE has constitutional authority to do, what they are doing in MN and elsewhere, why those who physically interfere with and assault ICE doing their job TO PROTECT AMERICANS, and handing out a list of the tens of thousands of criminal illegals aliens that ICE is rounding up and what the crimes of the illegals are. (or course, this would mean that Trump would have to behave himself on TV and stick to script and not go off on silly Trump tangents and speaking like a dumb a$$ed 5th grader who has little command of the English language–which is asking a lot…)

    –Trump not going on Prime time TV every month or two to tick off a list of things his administration has been accomplishing on various fronts: economy (job creation, infusion of billions in foreign investment back into the U.S, what the positives have been on tariff policy in terms of trade deficit, etc.), national defense (war on drug boats in Caribbean and elsewhere, snatching VZ dictator, taking out Iran nuclear capacity, etc.), positive things accomplished by working together with other countries, cutting cost/size of federal of government, proposals to improve security of elections in the U.S., how the U.S. military has been improved in regards to recruitment efforts and making it a more effective fighting force and how stopping spending of tens of millions of DEI foolishness is being redirected to actually improving the effectiveness of the military to achieve their goals and mission, etc. Actually, knowing that Trump is Trump it would probably be FAR better is Vance, Rubio, and others did most of talking at these prime time events, and Trump just acts sorta as an MC. All the other people would have a higher approval rating that Trump does and they are 1000% better at explaining things and speaking in coherent sentences.

    –Trump failure to accept a political defeat here and there and move on. Instead, he harps on his loss, gets all mean spirited and vindictive, etc. and turns it into a much bigger thing. And when he has a beef with this or that Republican member of Congress Trump immediately makes it a public name calling thing instead of working away from the microphones and behind the scenes to attempt to get the Rs who wonder off the reservations back on the reservation.

    –It SADLY ever crosses Trump’s mind that every goofy thing Trump does and says harms to R brand and gives the Ds one more thing to point out when they run against R senators and R congressmen and R congresswomen. That is why you will STILL see TRUMP as the #1 issue this year in the off-year elections. Republican losses this years will NOT BE DUE TO FAILURE OF REPUBLICAN/CONSERVATIVE principles in the last 2 years. IT WILL BE BECAUSE PEOPLE and VOTERS DO NOT IKE TRUMP.

    O NOT LIK–It SADLY ever crosses Trump’s mind that every goofy thing Trump does and says harms to R brand and gives the Ds one more thing to point out when they run against R senators and R congressmen and R congresswomen.

IT WILL BE BECAUSE VOTERS DO NOT LIKE TRUMP.

    **********************************

    Voters will vote in more Ds THIS YEAR despite the FACT that due to REPUBLICANS BEING IN CHARGE:

    —voters are safer today than 2 years ago under Dem control

    –voters are economically better off that they were 2 years ago under Dem control

    –real wages have RISEN in the past two years as opposed to DROPPING under Biden’s 4 yrs.

    –the world is a safer place than it was 2 years ago under Dems

    –the U.S. federal government has less employees, less fraud, less waste than 2 years ago

    –the U.S.trade deficit is much better today than it was 2 years ago under Dem control

    –the DEMS have shut down the government THREE TIMES (for 50 whatever days) in the last several months and greatly inconvenience both federal government workers and families, AND the AMERICAN PUBLIC.

    The LEFT/DEMS have created chaos on the streets in MN and elsewhere and tried to Shut down ICE

    the LEFT/DEMS have created chaos in the courts to shut down ICE, the sensible push back on WOKE CRAP, DEI CRAP, TRANS CRAP, etc.

    the LEFT/DEMS continue to support lawlessness, crime, illegal aliens, fraud and waste, goofy sh!t and goofy ideas of all stripes, etc.

    BUT THE VOTERS STUPIDLY WILL VOTE IN LESS Rs AND MORE Ds.

  21. Paul,

    For every one of your examples of excesses of ICE, you can find 20+ stories of how some illegal aliens or aliens senselessly raped, slit throats, stabbed, broke ribs or crushed skulls, tortured, murdered and dumped the bodies in the river, American citizens crushed and killed by vehicles driven by illegal aliens (either drunk or sober), Americans and other legal residents who were set on fire, beatten, maimed, robbed, burgled, destroyed property of American citizens that are AT LEAST AS HEART WRENCHING and touching to the emotions of all who read of those atrocities as is the one your wrote of above.

    I am truly sorry for the woman’s bruised ribs, concussion. and torn rotator cuff.

    I am more sorry for the many thousands–probably tens and tens of thousands–of American citizens and other legal citizens who have LOST THEIR LIVES AT THE HANDS OF CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS in the past 6 years.

    And for those who have faced even greater physical injuries (some life long injuries) and suffering and financial loss of many thousands of dollars due to the actions of ILLEGAL ALIENS in the U.S. in the last 6 years.

If someone let in 20 million ILLEGAL ALIENS who looked an awful lot like ME, I would indeed be fearful when the authorities went out to round the ILLEGALS up. I would also be MAD at WHOEVER LET IN 20 million ILLEGALS who looked much like me.

  27. Jesse Jackson was another black leader who did irreparable harm to black people by encouraging a culture of victim hood and government dependency. He dedicated his career to promoting an agenda that resulted in substandard housing, substandard neighborhoods, substandard schools, substandard jobs, substandard health care for black people. His view that what blacks needed was more government assistance and largesse rather than more educational and economic opportunity was extremely detrimental.

    I agree Trump probably said he would not use force to take Greenland.

    But he also said we want it, maybe make them a state, we have to have it and will do so one way or the other.

    Ask 10,000 Americans if their impression is that Trump was willing to send in the military to take Greenlamd and 8,000 of them would say yes, that is what they think about Trump’s position on Greenland is.

    Trump simply cannot articulate and speak clearly on much of anything without putting his foot in mouth and looking and sounding like an idiot.

    –another possible mistake on Trump’s part is the removal of displays about Black history by the National Park Service. The opticsake him look racist and will also bleed R votes from congressional candidates in 2026.
