The democrat party’s campaign of hatred against President Trump—and anybody associated with the MAGA movement—helped in their wins last Tuesday.  The Democratic congressional districts stayed Democratic.  The only thing that changed was the increased leftward drift of the democrat party; it has now officially embraced socialism/communism.  

Those are powerful governments filled with corruption, problems that Trump has been fighting in our own republic.

Former Speaker of the House Nasty Nancy Pelosi has announced her retirement after having amassed a substantial fortune during her government service, which may be worth over $200 million.  I have this funny feeling that, as she tries to enjoy her retirement, she will be thoroughly investigated.

I like Kari Lake’s quip: “From her “questionable” stock trades, to dressing up in African garb to kneel in memory of George Floyd, her seemingly drunken press conferences, & her attempt to frame President Trump for the events of January 6, it’s been an incredible run of craziness with Nancy Pelosi.

On Fox News, Greg Gutfeld had an excellent exposé on Nancy; here’s how it ended:

“As a member of Congress over the past decade, she's got a return of 816% from her investments, and beat the S&P 500 by 559 points. 

She's so good at picking stocks, retail investors use her like an index fund. There's literally a Pelosi tracker where thousands of people copy every trade her husband makes.  In the last year, it saw gains at 54%, double that of the S&P!

 She got so filthy rich while her city drowned in drugs, crime and homelessness. Yeah, the greatest city on earth, San Francisco, went from the golden city to a 48 square-mile restroom, a city with an app that tracks human street poop.  I'm surprised NANCY didn't invest in hazmat suits.   

So here's a question: what happens to her stock prowess when she leaves? What if those skills were to disappear shortly after she's no longer close to information that impacts the market? 

Well, it would tell us something we already knew, that Democrats don't get into power after they got rich like, say Trump. They get into power to get rich.  The rewards don't come from serving the people, they result from the illusion that they're serving the people. It was a great grift, and I got to admire it. Talk about a rich career. It's a shame it only paid off for her.”

Well said, Greg!

Mamdani’s election as mayor of New York City may serve as a focal point, highlighting the dangers of socialism and Shariah governance.  How far can this go?  

Our Constitution gives the federal government the power to limit the decay of state governments.  Found in Article IV, Section 4, is this:

“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government…”

This clause was designed to prevent states from becoming principalities, monarchies, or pure democracies, a possibility that concerned the founding fathers.  In a stretch of the imagination, I can see this federal power being used in New York…..and California.

For the present, watch for businesses to move out of the city, maybe out of the State.  But there’s another side; anticipating a new free-benefits-for-all society, many people are making plans to move to NY City.

 

The government shutdown has put the SNAP program (a.k.a. food stamps) under much-needed scrutiny. In February of this year, the USDA sent letters to every governor in America, requesting details on their SNAP programs and telling them that no illegal aliens may receive SNAP benefits.  Twenty-nine of the States have complied with the requests for SNAP information.

Two states sued the USDA for their request!  It is a federal program!

Agriculture Secretary Brooke L. Rollins explained that many illegal aliens are using the SNAP benefits. She explained how the SNAP program expanded significantly under the Biden administration, increasing its beneficiaries by over 40%!

Since February, seven hundred thousand people have been taken off the SNAP benefits.  Over 100 have been arrested.  Five thousand dead people were receiving benefits.  One man was receiving benefits in six different states.  

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz claims that every dollar invested in SNAP creates $1.80 of economic activity.  Only a leftist Democrat could come up with logic like that.

It has been reported that in the last few months, 12.3 million scammers have been taken off the Social Security system. 

The amount of waste that the Trump administration has uncovered should please everyone, except the crooks.  

President Trump has asked the Senate to terminate the filibuster, a process that requires sixty votes for a piece of legislation to qualify for an up-or-down vote.  That process has prevented some very bad ideas from becoming law. But, for my first time, I agree with him.  The democrats have turned into a party that has no interest in our nation’s health.  We need to open the government and keep it accountable.
