Let’s Learn How To Speak ‘Democrat’
Posted By: Mercedes44, 2/20/2025 5:51:42 AM
After President Donald Trump was elected, we published a semi-whimsical list of what would be “out” and “in” after his victory as the left instantly switched gears (“What’s In And What’s Out After Trump’s Stunning Victory”). On that list: Out: The economy is doing great! In: Why hasn’t Trump fixed the economy yet?? Over the weekend, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries proved us right. “Donald Trump and Republicans consistently promised that they were going to lower the high cost of living, and they’ve done the exact opposite,” Jeffries said. “They’ve shown no interest in lowering costs in the United States of America, which are too high.”

No Substitute for Victory

In his 1951 farewell address to Congress and the American public (known as the "old soldiers never die, they just fade away" speech), Army General Douglas MacArthur said something the Trump administration should recall as it seeks to end the war between Russia and Ukraine: "... once war is forced upon us, there is no other alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end. War's very object is victory, not prolonged indecision. In war there is no substitute for victory."

a $2 Billion Environmental Grant Rolled

Elon Musk's DOGE group recovered $2 billion from a Georgia non-profit coalition that included one entity headed by Stacey Abrams, the perennial losing candidate for something. The grant was part of a $27 billion giveaway through Biden's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. This fund achieved some notoriety in recent days when EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced that the DOGE team had discovered $20 billion "parked" in various non-profits; see EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin Finds the $20 Billion 'Gold Bars' the Biden Administration Tried to Jettison .
On Tuesday, Elon Musk responded to a proposal from James Fishback, CEO of Azoria, regarding a unique idea: the “DOGE Dividend.” This initiative aims to issue a $5,000 tax refund check to approximately 79 million American families, funded by a projected total savings of $2 trillion from DOGE. Fishback emphasizes that this dividend would not only compensate taxpayers for the misuse of their dollars but also help restore trust in government accountability.Fishback’s argument is compelling: the DOGE Dividend represents a social contract between taxpayers and their government, a much-needed refund given the egregious waste uncovered. As Fishback puts it,
Should the Senate confirm Kash Patel as FBI director, it will have clinched the second of perhaps the two most vital nominations President Donald Trump will make, alongside Tulsi Gabbard. These are the two individuals after Trump with the near-singular ability to prevent us from devolving into a total police state of the kind that has already targeted them.
President Trump was elected in no small part as a rebuke to a national security apparatus and intelligence agencies that have been weaponized and politicized against dissenters from ruling-class orthodoxy. From Russiagate and the fostering of the Censorship-Industrial Complex, to the first Trump impeachment and the Jan. 6 inquisition,
New York City Mayor Eric Adams faced a slew of resignations this week. It’s called into question whether he can govern the city, which is why Gov. Kathy Hochul is holding a series of meetings on the subject. It could end with her removing Adams from office, though the mayor said he isn’t going anywhere.Just four days ago, it was reported that Hochul isn’t rushing to decide on Adams, even though the circumstances surrounding the Department of Justice dropping their case against Mr. Adams has reportedly shaken Hochul. Still, we know it's all an act:
CNN chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins apparently deleted a social media post after receiving backlash for appearing to promote a defense fund for Luigi Mangione, the alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer.In the post on X, Collins showed a link to a new website launched by defense lawyers for Mangione, who faces charges of first-degree murder in furtherance of an act of terrorism, stalking and other state and federal charges in New York and Pennsylvania for allegedly gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan on Dec. 4, 2024. Thompson was a married father of two.
On Friday, the not-so-surprising news sailed across the transom that President Trump’s Department of Justice moved to dismiss the five-count bribery case against New York City’s fun-loving Mayor Adams.
The DOJ cited concerns that the charges were retribution against Adams for criticizing the Biden administration’s immigration policies — and that they “improperly interfered with Mayor Adams’ campaign in the 2025 mayoral election.”
Indeed, the DOJ letter stipulates that Adams’s case will be reviewed again by prosecutors after November’s ballot.
Trump Puts the Squeeze on Iran
8 replies
As anticipated, President Donald Trump has ramped up his maximum pressure sanctions campaign on the Iranian regime. Trump was concerned that the Biden administration had softened the American approach to the oppressive theocratic regime, enabling it to increase its oil production revenues. Tehran’s oil exports brought in $53 billion in 2023 and $54 billion in 2022, according to US Energy Information Administration estimates, and output during 2024 was reckoned to be running at its highest level since 2018, based on OPEC data.
New York Attorney General Letitia James appeared outside of federal court in New York City on Friday to talk about a lawsuit that she and others Democrat attorneys general had filed against the Trump administration in regard to the actions of DOGE and access to information. James is trying to stand in the way of DOGE's effort to root out fraud, waste, and abuse. During her remarks, she spewed a bunch of things that weren't true. She claimed Elon Musk was a "private individual" who "no one elected," and "no one has allowed to have access" to this information.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Thursday night didn’t rule out removing Mayor Eric Adams from office after allegations emerged that the feds would drop their criminal case against Hizzoner in exchange for his help with President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.
Hochul, the only official in the state who has the power to boot Adams from his position, revealed on MSNBC that she’s consulting with officials about the mayor’s future.
The governor told host Rachel Maddow that she read a letter penned by now-former acting Manhattan US Attorney Danielle Sassoon that claimed Adams’ legal team offered a “quid pro quo” in hopes of seeing his federal charges get dismissed.
Former Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams rushed to charge Big Apple Mayor Eric Adams – then grandstanded about the corruption case to further his own career, a top Justice Department official claimed Thursday.
In a searing memo to Williams’ successor Danielle Sassoon, Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove blasted Williams for “inappropriately politiciz[ing] and taint[ing]” the the historic case he filed against Adams in September.
He noted that Williams launched a personal website akin to a “campaign website” filled with puff-piece stories about his prosecutions of Adams and Sean “Diddy” Combs and penned a January op-ed in City & State New York titled,

is letting world's deadly infections into America 35 replies
Leading doctors are warning that President Donald Trump is potentially letting one of the world's deadliest infections take hold in the US following his freeze on global health aid.
Dr Amesh Adalja, a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg school of public health, told DailyMail.com that mpox - formerly known as monkeypox - could become a real global emergency in the wake of Trump's drastic move.
In August 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared mpox a 'public health emergency of international concern', following a surge in cases in the The US government, up until now, has maintained partnerships in global health security and development with the DRC and throughout Africa,
During an appearance on Thursday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” long-time Democrat strategist and media commentator James Carville declared the collapse of President Donald Trump to be underway already.
Carville, who predicted former Vice President Kamala Harris would be elected to the presidency last November, cited polling and urged Democrats to “just sit back” and let the so-called “collapse” take place.
“[L]et me back up,” he said. “We went with our seven-string quarterback, and we lost by a point and a half, and we actually picked up a congressional seat. So, if you’re asking me, did I think that she was going to win and she didn’t win? Yes,
Toxic RINO Senator Susan Collins (ME) on Thursday morning announced she is a “no” vote on Kash Patel.
The Senate will vote to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director on Thursday. Senator Collins came out against Kash Patel just hours before the vote.
Senator Collins said her decision to vote against Kash Patel comes after a flood of firings and resignations at the Justice Department.
“The nomination of Kash Patel to serve as Director of the FBI comes to the Senate against the backdrop of recent personnel actions at the Department of Justice, including the resignations of several career federal prosecutors who felt they were being

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett could not comprehend the idea of the federal government handing out dividends to Americans over the money it has wasted for decades during a Thursday segment on ABC News. President Donald Trump expressed interest in handing out $5,000 dividend checks to every taxpayer with the money saved by the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) downsizing of the federal government. Crockett said she does not believe $5,000 will help out the average American and appeared to ignore the fact that the federal government has wasted billions of dollars in spending for several years.
No new water storage infrastructure has been built in California, more than a decade after voters approved a $7.5 billion water bond in Proposition 1 of 2014.
The San Jose Mercury-News reported Wednesday that officials are deciding what to do with nearly half a billion dollars of available cash after the “collapse” of a project to expand the Los Vaqueros Reservoir, which is east of San Francisco.
Other projects have received funding for planning and permitting, but nothing has been built.
The newspaper noted:
A majority of the seven board members of the California Water Commission, a state agency that distributes funding to build reservoirs and other water projects
It’s Time for Israel to Unleash Hell

After Hamas terrorists paraded the coffins of the Bibas children around Gaza before their Thursday release, it was hard to imagine that there was any room for the family’s tragic ordeal to get even worse. And yet, somehow it has.
A short while ago, the Israel Defense Forces announced a forensics examination identified Kfir and Ariel Bibas (who were nine months old and four years old at the time of their abduction) as two of the bodies returned by Hamas, determining that they were brutally murdered in November 2023.
While this tragic news was expected, another detail came as a shock: “During the identification process, it was determined
Although Hamas claimed that the four bodies released to Israel on Thursday included Shiri Bibas and her two young children Ariel and Kfir, an Israeli forensics team announced late on Thursday evening that the body believed to be Shiri’s was not, in fact, Shiri Bibas.
Specialists at Abu Kabir Forensic Institute determined that Ariel and Kfir were “brutally murdered by terrorists” in November 2023, and that “the additional body received” was not Shiri’s. The specialist confirmed the identities of Ariel, Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz, a retired journalist.
“No match was found for any other hostage. This is an anonymous, unidentified body,”
The Trump administration is considering steps that could give it more control over the independent US Postal Service, according to multiple published reports. It’s a move that could upend how Americans get critical deliveries including online purchases, prescription drugs, checks and vote-by-mail ballots.
The Washington Post first reported late Thursday, citing numerous anonymous sources, that President Donald Trump planned to disband the US Postal Service’s Board of Governors and place the agency under direct control of the Commerce Department and Secretary Howard Lutnick. The Wall Street Journal also Friday reported on the plan to dissolve the commission, citing government officials.
The Postal Service did not respond to requests for comment.

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett disclosed on Friday that she is “rooting for” Canada and Mexico due to their opposition to President Donald Trump’s administration. Trump influenced both Canada and Mexico to pledge on Feb. 3 to bolster their border security efforts with the United States in exchange for a 30-day pause on the 25% tariffs he had announced. Crockett, on “The Breakfast Club,” admitted it is “really wild” that she is supporting these nations over her own, but said she appreciated their defiance of the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump announced Thursday his intention to personally inspect the United States’ gold reserves housed at Fort Knox.
This announcement comes amid growing speculation regarding the actual contents of the United States Bullion Depository.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has called for a long-overdue audit of the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox—reportedly something that hasn’t happened in nearly 50 years.
Senator Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), the longest-serving Senate party leader in U.S. history, announced on Thursday he will not be seeking reelection in 2026.
McConnell intends to serve the remainder of his term, which ends in January 2027. The former Senate minority leader announced the news on his 83rd birthday.
“Seven times, my fellow Kentuckians have sent me to the Senate,” McConnell said in prepared remarks on the Senate floor. “Every day in between I’ve been humbled by the trust they’ve placed in me to do their business here. Representing our commonwealth has been the honor of a lifetime. I will not seek

layoffs: sources 19 replies
The fiery hosts at ABC’s “The View” have faced pressure to dial back their anti-President Trump rhetoric — even as “morale is low” among staffers following layoffs and unpopular cost-cutting moves, The Post has learned.
A source close to the show’s co-hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro — said the mood on the set is increasingly tense at the daytime talk show.
That’s partly because Brian Teta, executive producer of “The View,” spoke to staffers about “going easy” on Trump-related commentary in the days leading up to the 47th president taking the oath of office,
