No surprise. Mamdani and his Socialist Dem Party are against the Gaza peace. "The Occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, eroding under illegal settler expansion, continue to struggle under violent Israeli apartheid and occupation. Across the region, Israel terrorizes the people of Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Qatar, and Iran while wielding the implicit threat of nuclear engagement to violently impose its fascist, expansionist aspirations"

Meanwhile Biden and Blinken are taking credit for laying the groundwork for the peace. Will Mamdani protest against them?

Biden and Blinken are morons feeding on the ignorance of Americans not understanding foreign cultures. Blinken was the wuss who just let the Chinese yell at him. There isn’t any respect in the Arab world for those types of people. Power and strength is what they know. The meme is over-simplified, but the 3 presidents and how Trump is different is essentially true based upon my experience with foreign Arabs.

All is well!

“gone up significantly in the last three years”

It’s almost like this was already happening, and started during the Biden years.

What’s next, are you going to blame record number of street deaths on Trump? I’ll just tell you now, that already started under Biden too.

I guess this is the next move since we didn’t get empty shelves.

Looks like a self-pwn. You voted for it. Trump hasn’t been in office for more than 9 of those 36 months. Congratulations.

“Basic things you need to get through life [have] gone up significantly in the last three years in practically all our markets,” Cadogan mentioned.

My goodness you are an idiot! Nothing to see on the greatest peace deal this century?

You are 100 percent against RFK and MAHA. You love your illegals and want them to stay.

No one starves to death in the US. If people are hungry, get the illegals out and spend some of that money on needy Americans.

Rill already owned you and your manhood by pointing out that the damage occurred thanks to your moronic votes for Dems! So own it Jeffy

My post didn’t indicate I wasn’t happy. We have a free enterprise, capitalist society. I was pointing out how the MIC could make chicken salad out of (perceived) chicken poop.

Regarding Netflix, they have 2 movies with Glen Powell as a lead character. Anyone But You stars him and Sydney Sweeney (oops. I just mentioned her again.) It’s a bit of a modern take on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Warning…it is rated R. The other one is The Hit Man. While it is somewhat of a Rom-Com it appears to be roughly based on a real person. It won’t win any oscars, but it was a fun watch.
Your post indicated you thought there maybe a conspiracy on peace !

Rom-com !

Trump gets all the credit in the the world for the peace deal. However, he still is a horrible president.
Obama got Bin Laden, did that change anything regarding your overall perspective in relation to Obama? NO

You are so threatened by any news that reflects negatively on the Great Orange Goof.

Trump is the most authoritarian president we have ever had. CEOs, University Presidents and many others are afraid to speak because of the retribution they will face from the Vain Petty Man that is Trump. You clearly prefer an environment where the only opinions that are allowed are ones similar to yours. Congratulations, your vote has destroyed a free and open society. You must be proud!

A good article by B.O.

Let’s talk about presidential power. It can cut both ways, and as a loyal American, you should be thinking about this because it directly affects your well-being.

In his first term, Donald Trump played the usual White House game until he lost reelection. Then all hell broke loose. But during the four years he occupied the Oval Office, Mr. Trump was a fairly standard leader trying to get things done in a traditional way.

He got hosed.


Mexican and South American drug cartels? No let-up.

Weakness in Europe? Accelerated.

Illegal immigration? Congress would not allocate money to build a wall.

Inner-city crime? Exploded, as leftist prosecutors refused to enforce the law.

Food and gas prices? Stable at first, but eventually, COVID wrecked delivery systems.

China and Iran? Pretty much did bad things at will.

Then came the catastrophe of Joe Biden. Just about everything got worse in America, especially inflation, illegal immigration, and violent crime. Mr. Biden’s four years badly damaged the USA as well as the free world. Miscreants ran wild as Biden napped.

Americans noticed the chaos. Trump returned. This time with a vengeance. Literally.

We all saw it. As a private citizen, Donald Trump endured a coordinated attempt to destroy him and his family. He had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to defend himself. The FBI, Attorney General, National Security apparatus, and especially the media, banded together to hurt Trump. Tried to take him out.

Now it’s round two. President Trump believes two things above all others. That he, himself, must impose “justice,” changing the nation in the process. And, second, that he has the Constitutional power to right wrongs as he sees them.

Therefore, Mr Trump has become a “strong man” leader. He has no use for the bureaucracy. HE will institute policies and accountability, not a slow-moving system infused with fanatical ideology.

Two other presidents did what Trump is doing: Andrew Jackson and Theodore Roosevelt. Both loathed partisan politics and used the presidency as a mallet.

Roosevelt, in particular, was a man of action. He single-handedly brought down the awful “Robber Barons” who were brutalizing American workers. We chronicle that in “Confronting Evil.”

TR went after J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller, and the rest despite stiff opposition from the establishment. The Supreme Court finally ruled in his favor and banished the monopolies. But it was an intense struggle.

Trump is on the same road.

In addition, Teddy used his populist power to seize millions of acres of land and turn them into National Parks. As a government official, if you opposed old Theodore, you suddenly acquired great risk.

Back to present day. This column is not a Valentine to Donald Trump, but somebody needs to tell the truth, and that somebody is me. Honest perspective is important.

Consider this. Kamala Harris is President. Would the following have happened?

- Almost total U.S. control of the southern border.

- Increased oil production leading to lower gas prices.

- NATO increasing military spending to blunt Putin.

- Iran’s nuclear capabilities smashed.

- Deal in Gaza.

- Drug smugglers under fire from the U.S. military.

- Wasteful government spending exposed.

- Tax cuts.

- Possible detente with China that would emasculate Putin’s criminal activities.

- Suppression of crime in Washington, D.C.

I humbly submit that NONE of those things would have occurred if Ms. Kamala had resided in the White House. Instead, she might just be calling opponents Mother____ers.

Yes, the President is sieging his enemies, and that might be overstepping Executive Power. Too Putin. But it’s hard to feel sorry for Comey, Tish James, and Adam Schiff, who I believe are not honest brokers.

Andrew Jackson might have shot them.

Let’s hope President Trump understands dueling is no longer allowed.

I know my CEO added security to protect himself from the violent left. He now has 2 full time security guards.

My company headquarters shut down for a week recently because a madmen had violent posts online and then was found wondering the headquarters first floor. CEO isn’t worried about Trump, at all.

The correct response would have been - “sorry, I didn’t read the article. Higher prices are not because of Trump.”

You really are an idiot. My vote saved America. If your "Hitler" was truly "Hitler" you Jeffy and your brother Stone would be locked up in Alligator Alcatraz and deported or executed for all of your hateful words towards the greatest president of this century. The fact that your derangement is allowed and FREE to spout stupidity is proof that America remains a free and open society - thanks to Trump.

What you really mean to say is your vote tried to destroy a free and open society. You think we are morons like you and forget that people's livelihoods, ability to partake in society, ability to hold a job, and much more WERE taken away if they didn't submit to true governmental tyranny (take the DEATH JAB or else) that YOU voted for and support to this day!! Pure evil from CEOs and University Presidents that forced so many like Rill to take a shot they didn't want else their lives be destroyed.

And let's not forget that this discussion started with your stupid food post - a problem brought on by Biden that started 3 years ago when inflation was over 9 percent officially and in reality over 10 percent. Nice vote Jeff! Stuck on Stupid.

So college Presidents are afraid to speak ? How about Harvard's patently Antisemite speeches ? Should she be allowed to stay ?

The following Presidents have authorized Federal or National Guard troops to enforce Federal law.

Trump, Obumma, H W Bush, LBJ (3x's), Carter, JFK, Eisenhower, Hoover, Lincoln and others !

Obama approved a mission when the US Intelligence agencies found the world's most wanted terrorist. He was # 1 on the FBIs list. I mean, I see this as a layup call, but I regress as Joe Biden had the call wrong. So, good for Obama.

That is nowhere near as difficult as bringing Muslim led countries to the table to sign off on peace in the Middle East. There will be dissenters, but it appears the leaders that signed on yesterday are ready to police that area. Not only is it brilliant to get it to where we are, but pure genius to have Muslims reel in the bad Muslims. It takes a lot of burden off of the US in an area of violence that has been a problem forever. Criminals over there are dealt with harshly. I anticipate this will go well for our intended goal and bad for dissenters.

The countries that signed on will reward their region with more tourism and trade.

Only Trump could pull this off and yes I will even give him credit for 4D chess here. He deserves it.

About 10 years ago the woman who led Mattel had 24 x 7 Security and flew private !

She was mocked and after she paid $ 750,000,000 million CASH for American Girl Place was voted out by the BOD !

Could she have just been a forward thinker ?

Matt's friend from high school has just offered him an armed security detail for the CEO of his company after Matt retires for low 6 figures !

It's a relatively simple matter, just acknowledge that you were lied to by main stream media and by parts of the Democratic Party that was in control for their personal avarice !

There really is nothing named TDS, just you were drawn in from their lies.
