Boy- it is not a good time to be a democrat.
But it sure is fun to watch them crumble.
Just when they thought losing to Trump and having him back in power ‘couldn’t get worse’ for them-Trump and Elon Musk bully their way into the offices of a secretive and unresponsive
USAID agency and discover it’s really a corrupt money-laundering scheme for the u-s and global left. As musk put it: we expected to find a worm in the apple. Instead, we found a ball of worms.
Nothing about this agency or its work was as advertised’ once they got a look behind the curtain-
A look that Trump’s team was denied in term one. And that every other GOP admin. and/or congress has been denied over the last 25 years or so.
It’s like discovering a dead body in your friend’s basement: I knew something didn’t smell right in that corner.... but I never expected to find a body in that old trunk...
And so, ‘it just got worse’ for the democrats. They’re likely going to lose a major cog in their leftist spending machine.
Then there’s their comical reaction to trump’s mass deportations. They and their last president happily allowed- nay-
Engineered- the flood of 10 to 15 illegal aliens into this country... Almost completely unvetted...and now that the American people have spoken and there can be-zero-confusion about how we ‘want them out’-
The dems are now trying to pretend that trump
And republicans are the ‘bad guys’ in this equation.
Folks-the dems are so shaken and turned around by all of this- they’re exposing themselves as the racists that they are- in trying to stop the deportations.
Honest to God: who will pick the crops? And ‘who will pick the blueberries for my smoothie’...
Could not sound more racist-and democrat panelists have uttered both of those phrases-and similar ones- on national tv over the last two weeks.
Really? You see every migrant as someone we need to pick the crops?
Pretty racist.
Even Jake Tapper at CNN was making an ass of himself this weekend, as he interviewed Stephen Miller, who is one of Trump’s top advisors on the border and immigration.
Tapper asked several questions related to ‘picking the crops. No kidding-
To which the Miller responded with facts and stats: ah, Jake- he said-
As he said that- Jake Tapper tried a few times to bully in and interrupt him, which has become the favored technique of the leftist cable tv hosts who want to act tough and smart-and want to stop any response from a guest that makes them look foolish.
Jake tried it. Stephen miller plowed forward- and made him look foolish.
And until these democrats and their activist mouthpieces realize that the American people are ‘with the president’ on this issue of foreigners flooding into our country unvetted and unopposed-the dems are only going to continue to lose elections.
Have you seen what’s going on in the city of NY right now?
New Yorkers-on social media- are posting all sorts of videos of street-corners and neighborhoods that were tent cities and dangerous gatherings for illegals- for years-under Joe Biden-
And the streets and sidewalks are clean-and order has finally finally been restored to their neighborhoods.
Know why?
Because mayor Eric Adams made it clear he and the NYPD would be cooperating with ice and every vagrant and street-creature ‘illegal’ vanished. That’s why.
An amazing amount of ‘order’ has been restored to NY neighborhoods in only a few days, people.
More-over- nearly 80 percent of New Yorkers support illegal alien criminals off their streets-including NY’s Latino population.
Meanwhile, gov Kathy Hocul has tried to split hairs when it comes to deporting illegals-and she has become the most unpopular leader in New York,
Six in ten voters want her out of the office in 2026, when her term is up. And that includes four in ten democrats who say, ‘she should get out’.
As for mayor Eric Adams- the mayor of NY city-
They want him out, too.
He’s incredibly unpopular and won’t win again. He’s also got a criminal indictment hanging over his bald head-
But 85 percent of democrats don’t think he should be re-elected-and so ‘he won’t be’.
He has a 60 percent disapproval rating. Oof.
There’s just not much ‘good’ to say about NY city, right now. And in very real and concrete ways: democrats brought this onto themselves.
And-
The voters brought it onto themselves. After a great run under Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg, the dopes living in New York decided to turn the reigns over to a socialist pud, in Bill DeBlasio, and he managed the city about ‘2/3’ of the way to its current ‘ruined’ state, before Eric Adams took it the rest of the way.
But hey-they got the govt they voted for.
Meanwhile-on the ‘illegal immigration’ front, lets mention the quick action president trump got out of Mexico’s president after he imposed 25 percent tariffs on them.
Within a day-Claudia Sheinbaum was agreeing to play nice and send ten-thousand Mexican soldiers to police ‘their side’ of the border and stop the flood of illegal drugs and fentanyl into this country.
Great.
And it’s not a magic fix to all the drug-running by the Mexican cartels, but it’s a start.
In return, Trump agreed to delay imposing those tariffs for at least a month.
So, Trump got at least-some-additional action here- out of Mexico’s govt- with his tariff threat. And it doesn’t sound like he’s dropping them, completely.
Trump has what ‘most’ old-school u-s presidents have had: a clarity of purpose. Clear requests and demands of our allies and enemies. And the fortitude to follow through on consequences if they don’t comply.
I swear-about 40 of our presidents operated that way, and knew the importance of using u-s weight and might-globally-
Until we got to about...Clinton.... And then, suddenly, our president’s word didn’t necessarily mean what he said.... and....American resolve could be more easily questioned by both our enemies and our allies- yes.
Bush was only marginally better, and then Obama and Biden both -dramatically worse. Dramatically weaker and more willing to allow other countries to walk all over us. Ignore our requests or demands. With no fear of consequences.
If you forget- barrack Obama drew red lines on Syria and Crimea- and then did nothing. Zero. When Assad in Syria and Putin in Crimea ignored his threats.
Because they knew he had no resolve. Biden and Blinken got walked-all-over by everyone...both enemies and allies.
And so, it should be noted that all of trump’s numerous successes, here, in his first weeks, are all related to him simply: restoring a resolve. Restoring a u-s standing, globally, that both Obama and Biden have willingly given way- or were too weak and pathetic to display.
How else could trump and his team almost completely stop the flood of illegals over our southern border-in a single day?
This weekend, Tom Homan, the border czar, said illegal crossings are down 93 percent, already, and that result was virtually ‘immediate’.
And to clarify he has his border agents doing out and arresting that seven percent of illegals who are still trying to cross into America. They aren’t allowed to slip thru.
Homan noted that this is a bigger drop than in trump’s first term. Our border was ‘secure’ to the point that maybe 700 or 800 illegals a day were trying to cross as Trump left office in term one.
They’re now arresting fewer than 600 crossers per day, or so. This is across all nine sectors and 2000 miles of border.
Meanwhile, ICE is already arresting so many illegals each day that the holding centers are full and some ‘select number’ of illegals are having to be braceleted and let go, again ‘to be collected soon’.
It's annoying to know that even a few are being released again, but we knew holding space would be a problem.
