		<description>1- What exactly is “silly” about it? Funny how ALL the former Warsaw Pact countries who rushed to join NATO didn’t and still don’t find NATO membership to be silly.

2- what would YOU have done that would have prevented Putin’s escalation of his 2014 invasion of Ukraine.

3- in 2007 Putin lamented the fall of the Soviet empire in 1991 and made it clear he wanted to correct this. So he invaded Georgia, Kazakhstan, Chechnya twice and others. He told you what he wanted to do and then did so over and over. So what should Biden have done that would have stopped him in 2022?

4- how would taking NATO membership off the table have been anything other than, Ukraine? Sure, we don’t care so help yourself!

The previous name calling was not cool, and I’ll endeavor to knock it the fuck off. Please understand that it came purely out of frustration that you duck answering questions like these.</description>

		<description>Welp, the ruling is in...  

Judge denies Democrat-led effort to block DOGE access, citing lack of proven harm

Plaintiffs failed to prove DOGE access to federal data would cause the &#039;imminent harm,&#039; the legal proof needed for a temporary restraining order

A federal judge on Tuesday declined to block Elon Musk&#039;s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing government data or firing federal employees. 

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan declined to grant the plaintiffs&#039; request to issue a temporary restraining order, citing what she said was their failure to demonstrate evidence of &quot;irreparable harm&quot; caused by DOGE&#039;s access. 

&quot;Plaintiffs legitimately call into question what appears to be the unchecked authority of an unelected individual and an entity that was not created by Congress and over which it has no oversight,&quot; Chutkan, an Obama appointee, said Tuesday. 


&quot;In these circumstances, it must be indisputable that this court acts within the bounds of its authority. Accordingly, it cannot issue a TRO, especially one as wide-ranging as Plaintiffs request, without clear evidence of imminent, irreparable harm to these Plaintiffs. The current record does not meet that standard.&quot;

The decision from Chutkan is a blow to the coalition of 14 Democratic state attorneys general who sued last week to temporarily restrict DOGE&#039;s access to federal data about government employees.

Plaintiffs argued that the leadership role held by Musk, a private citizen, represents an &quot;unlawful delegation of executive power&quot; and threatened what they described as &quot;widespread disruption&quot; to employees working across various federal agencies and government contractors.

&quot;There is no greater threat to democracy than the accumulation of state power in the hands of a single, unelected individual,&quot; said the lawsuit, filed by New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez.

Attorneys general from Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington also joined him in the request.

While Judge Chutkan at times appeared sympathetic to the views brought by Torrez and other plaintiffs during Monday&#039;s hearing, she also suggested she was not convinced that plaintiffs had adequately satisfied the high legal standard of &quot;imminent harm&quot; required for a temporary restraining order.

And &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump wins again!!!   :D

You people REALLY need to come to grips with the objective reality..

This is &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump&#039;s America now...

And the American people are fully and completely behind &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump...

If you don&#039;t support &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump...

You ain&#039;t an American....   :D</description>

		<description>You people hysterically whine and cry and stamp your feet about supposed unconstitutional actions that &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; allegedly committed.. Of course, there are none..

And, of course, you ignore the REAL unconstitutional actions committed by the Biden/Harris (or was it Harris/Biden) administration...

Circuit court puts final nail in the coffin for Biden&#039;s $500M student loan forgiveness plan

Biden tried a litany of policy maneuvers to push through student loan forgiveness

The U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals put a final end to former President Joe Biden&#039;s student loan forgiveness plan on Tuesday.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey originally sued the Biden administration over its $500 million effort to wipe away student loans, known as the SAVE plan. The court&#039;s Tuesday ruling found that Biden&#039;s secretary of education had &quot;gone well beyond this authority by designing a plan where loans are largely forgiven rather than repaid.&quot;

Bailey noted in a statement that the ruling has no active impact beyond blocking future presidents from attempting Biden&#039;s maneuver.


&quot;Though Joe Biden is out of office, this precedent is imperative to ensuring a President cannot force working Americans to foot the bill for someone else&#039;s Ivy League debt,&quot; Bailey said in a statement.

Woke progressive Democrat morons LOVE Constitutional violations...

As long as it&#039;s woke progressive Democrat morons who are committing them...

:eyeroll:

&lt;B&gt;Hypocrisy.  It&#039;s not a bug in Democrat programming.  It&#039;s a feature.&lt;/B&gt;</description>

		<description>Thank gods for DOGE!!!!


Top federal agency exposed for spending billions on migrants in a single year

The numbers skyrocketed up to $10B during the Biden administration

The Biden administration spent tens of billions of dollars on grants to migrants and refugees through one of its government agencies, including over $10 billion in just one year, according to a new watchdog report. 

The watchdog group Open the Books looked at grants to nonprofits awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services&#039; Office of Refugee Resettlement. Its responsibilities include caring for unaccompanied migrant children who crossed the southern border illegally and refugees entering legally.

The watchdog found that in FY 2021, it distributed $2.4 billion in grants to nonprofits. In FY 2022, it distributed $3.4 billion, then that number skyrocketed up to $10 billion in FY 2023 before being reduced to $4.2 billion in FY 2024.

Just think... If &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump hadn&#039;t TOTALLY demolished Headboard Harris in the election woke progressive Democrats would STILL be wasting all these TENS OF BILLIONS of dollars!!

We know for a FACT that Headboard Harris blew thru 2.5 BILLION DOLLARS in just 90 days!!

Every one of you should get on your knees and thank gods that &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump won the election...</description>

		<description>Musk is not DOGE employee, has no more authority than other WH staff, new filing says

Judge Chutkan expressed that she wasn&#039;t convinced by the arguments on Monday

The Trump administration clarified in a late-night Monday court filing that Elon Musk is not a DOGE employee, and instead serves as a White House advisor, in a similar vein as former Biden advisor Anita Dunn. 

The filing comes after D.C. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan heard remarks in the case filed by 14 state attorneys general against Musk and the Trump administration. The states argue that Musk and the administration have engaged in illegal executive overreach. 

Chutkan expressed that she wasn&#039;t convinced by the arguments on Monday after asking what harm the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) imposed, as well as whether any federal employee terminations took place at the end of last week.

&lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump is fully, completely and UNEQUIVOCALLY in charge of everything DOGE is doing..

1000%...

There is simply NO POSSIBLE connection between DOGE, Musk and PATTERNS OF FORCE...

NONE... ZERO... ZIP... ZILCH... NADA....

Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply showing their complete and utter ignorance of the here and now and STAR TREK...</description>

		<description>Yunno.. It&#039;s a REAL pleasure to have a Press Secretary up at the podium who actually answers questions and gives REAL facts...

Unlike Jean Claude BIDEN IS SHARP AS A TACK Damn...  :eyeroll:

Karoline Leavitt: Trump, Elon Musk&#039;s DOGE team are doing what Democrats promised &#039;for decades&#039;

White House press secretary points back to words of Bill Clinton, Barack Obama

&lt;B&gt;&quot;If you just watched that video, but shut your eyes and listen to the words from those Democrat politicians, you would think you are listening to President Trump, Elon Musk and our entire administration, who are saying the exact same things that Democrat politicians promised the American people they would do for decades. President Trump is just the first president in our lifetimes to actually do it. And now you see the Democrat Party and the mainstream media spiraling out of control about a very simple promise: rooting out waste, fraud and abuse from our federal bureaucracy. This is a promise President Trump campaigned on. He is now delivering on it. 

I&#039;ve been fighting fake news reporters all day long here in the Washington, D.C. swamp who are trying to fearmonger the American people into believing that this administration is going after their hard-earned tax dollars and their hard-earned Social Security checks. So I want to set the record straight on your show tonight, Sean, and I&#039;m very grateful for the opportunity to do so. President Trump has directed Elon Musk and the Doge team to identify fraud at the Social Security Administration. They haven&#039;t dug into the books yet, but they suspect that there are tens of millions of deceased people who are receiving fraudulent Social Security payments and so their goal in going into the Social Security Administration is to identify three things: Number one, to identify duplicate payments and to end them, Number two, to identify payments that are going to deceased people who are no longer living and should no longer be receiving that money and number three, to protect the integrity of the system for hardworking Americans who have been paying into it their entire lives. 

So rest assured to all of the people watching your show tonight, if you paid into the system, honestly, you will continue to receive your Social Security checks. Do not buy into the lies from the legacy fake news media, who are trying to fear you and scare you into believing otherwise. This is what we&#039;ve seen them do about President Trump for years with every promise that he has made, and he&#039;s going in there to protect your hard-earned money. That is the ultimate goal.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-A &lt;B&gt;*REAL*&lt;/B&gt; White House Press Secretary KAROLINE LEAVITT

<p>White House press secretary points back to words of Bill Clinton, Barack Obama</p>
<p><b>"If you just watched that video, but shut your eyes and listen to the words from those Democrat politicians, you would think you are listening to President Trump, Elon Musk and our entire administration, who are saying the exact same things that Democrat politicians promised the American people they would do for decades. President Trump is just the first president in our lifetimes to actually do it. And now you see the Democrat Party and the mainstream media spiraling out of control about a very simple promise: rooting out waste, fraud and abuse from our federal bureaucracy. This is a promise President Trump campaigned on. He is now delivering on it. </p>
<p>I've been fighting fake news reporters all day long here in the Washington, D.C. swamp who are trying to fearmonger the American people into believing that this administration is going after their hard-earned tax dollars and their hard-earned Social Security checks. So I want to set the record straight on your show tonight, Sean, and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to do so. President Trump has directed Elon Musk and the Doge team to identify fraud at the Social Security Administration. They haven't dug into the books yet, but they suspect that there are tens of millions of deceased people who are receiving fraudulent Social Security payments and so their goal in going into the Social Security Administration is to identify three things: Number one, to identify duplicate payments and to end them, Number two, to identify payments that are going to deceased people who are no longer living and should no longer be receiving that money and number three, to protect the integrity of the system for hardworking Americans who have been paying into it their entire lives. </p>
<p>So rest assured to all of the people watching your show tonight, if you paid into the system, honestly, you will continue to receive your Social Security checks. Do not buy into the lies from the legacy fake news media, who are trying to fear you and scare you into believing otherwise. This is what we've seen them do about President Trump for years with every promise that he has made, and he's going in there to protect your hard-earned money. That is the ultimate goal."</b><br />
-A <b>*REAL*</b> White House Press Secretary KAROLINE LEAVITT</p>

		<description>JL,

&lt;I&gt;Ben Sisko did commit war crimes; &lt;/i&gt;

The ends justifies the means..

I am completely on board with Ben Sisko here..

Let me ask you this..

If you could save your family&#039;s lives, save your CHILDREN&#039;s lives and the ONLY cost to you would be a guilty conscience, would you do it??

Sisko saved the ENTIRE Alpha Quadrant from death and slavery...

His decision is a no brainer...

For anyone besides who DOESN&#039;T have a brain.. 

&lt;I&gt; not sure how that relates to anything today, &lt;/I&gt;

Are you kidding.. Everything that has happened in the last 4 months goes to that EXACT scenario...</description>

		<description>Ben Sisko did commit war crimes; in the pale moonlight is possibly my favorite episode of any trek series ever. he justified them to himself and to his log (the viewer), but he committed war crimes and he knew it. not sure how that relates to anything today, but it&#039;s a good moral question to hold up to ourselves.</description>

		<description>Sedition and the abandonment of the rule of law is patriotic? The shining city upon a hill has become deeply tarnished with corruption and stupidity...

As for Melakon: 

The social security system was written COBOL which the dancing dipshit and his crew of idiots do not understand how dates are entered nor do they realize the system won&#039;t pay out to anyone over &lt;a href=&quot;https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0202602578&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;115 &lt;/a&gt;. Or he is lying to you. He is known for that...

He fired tons of department of energy employees only to realize a bunch of them keep our nuclear weapons in order. D&#039;oh!

He is firing a bunch of FAA members after a rash of airplane crashes. D&#039;oh! 

He has fired the people looking in to Tesla problems. He has fired the people looking in to neuralink Problems. He heads to NASA next where much of his corporate welfare comes from. Ethics be dammed... 

Lets face it, Twitter has failed for most of the virtual town halls Melakon staged for Trump during the election. Is that what we want: a federal government that fails when it&#039;s actually needed?

Then we have Trump stabbing Zelenskyy in the back while tossing Putin&#039;s salad. 

Trump is creating a new world order that evidently does not include the the USA. All these tariff &quot;wins&quot; are pushing side deals with China and Europe. He wants to take Canada, Panama and Greenland but cut the Pentagon budget in half? Good luck with that...

Mr Magoo goes to Washington with Homer Simpson at his side...</description>

		<description>And it looks like Bobby Kennedy Jr is ALSO hitting the ground running!!  :D

RFK Jr&#039;s health agenda gains popularity among state lawmakers

&#039;It took Bobby to get into the position that he is in now for something to happen&#039;: Arizona state lawmaker

State-level lawmakers are introducing a wave of bills aimed at advancing priorities championed by new Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his &quot;Make America Healthy Again&quot; platform, in some cases citing the new administration&#039;s support for these causes as the catalyst for their efforts. 

Arizona, Kansas and Utah are examples of states doing this. The move is aimed at prohibiting junk food like candy and soda from school lunches and other federally funded food assistance programs, something Kennedy has expressed support for in the past. Others have included efforts to rid these programs of ultra-processed foods, certain additives and dyes.

&quot;It took Bobby to get into the position that he is in now for something to happen,&quot; Arizona state Rep. Leo Biasiucci said during a press conference this month during which he introduced HB 2164. The bill seeks to ban several food dyes and other additives from school lunch programs in the state. &quot;I can’t thank him enough for being the microphone … at the high level, to finally put a spotlight on this.&quot;


&lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump&#039;s MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN agenda is plowing full speed ahead!!  :D

Get on board the &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump train!!!

Or get crushed by it!!!   :D

It&#039;s really THAT simple..  :D</description>

		<description>And it looks like Token DEI Hire Headboard Harris still hasn&#039;t gotten past the WORD SALAD stage of her existence..

&lt;B&gt;&quot;When we think about these moments where we see things that are being taken, but also let’s see it, you know, nature abhors a vacuum.

Where there’s a vacancy, let’s fill it. Let us know that the reality is that the progress of our nation has been about the expansion of rights, not the restriction of rights.  We’re seeing a U-turn right now. For those rights to be maintained, which means we have to be vigilant. It’s just the nature of it.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Token DEI Hire Headboard Harris

And you people actually believed this waste of air actually had a CHANCE to win the election!!??

That&#039;s just sad....   :eyeroll:</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s now turn to the world of DOGE..

More than 20 million Americans are over the age of 100

More than 3.9 million Americans are between 130 yrs old and 139 yrs old

More than 3.5 million Americans are between 140 yrs old and 149 yrs old 

More than 1.3 million Americans are between  150 yrs old and 159 yrs old.

According to the Social Security databases, there are even Americans who are over 360 years old!!!

And all these TENS OF MILLIONS of &quot;living&quot; Americans are STILL drawing social security checks!!!  Just THINK of the billions and BILLIONS of dollars that have been wasted!!!

And you and your woke progressive Democrats are AGAINST DOGE!!!????

For christ&#039;s sake, why!!????

I&#039;ll tell ya&#039;all why...

Because it would be a MASSIVE &lt;B&gt;*WIN*&lt;/B&gt; for &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump and the American people...

And ya&#039;all and yer woke progressive Democrats just CAN&#039;T  STAND that!!</description>

		<description>Hay Genocide Guy,

&lt;I&gt;However, although history shows that &quot;...focus on the first days any president spends in office isn&#039;t really reflective of their overall performance...&quot;, in Trump&#039;s case it proved to be absolutely true: incompetence combined with bluster and brag in the first few weeks continued as incompetence combined with bluster and brag for the full four years. Among other consequences, we mourn hundreds of thousands of dead Americans during the COVID pandemic who might have lived had President Trump behaved at all sensibly and in line with every known protocol of public health.&lt;/I&gt;

There are simply ZERO FACTS to support ANY of your BS claims here..

President Trump accomplished more PRO AMERICA actions in his first term that ANY Democrat has accomplished since JFK...

&lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump gave the BIGGEST boost to black and native Americans since Democrats fought tooth and nail against the civil rights laws of the 50s and 60s..

&lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump brought down Unemployment for black and hispanic Americans to it&#039;s lowest point EVER...

&lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump had the cojones to FINALLY put the US Embassy where it belongs, in Jerusalem... 

&lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump accomplished sooo much pro-America actions in his first term despite 24/7 headwinds of hate and bigotry from Democrats..  Imagine what &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump could have accomplished if Democrats had actually gotten behind the MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN push...

But THIS term??  

&lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump doesn&#039;t NEED Democrats because he&#039;s gotten a HUGE MANDATE from the American people..

So, FRAK woke progressive Democrats..

They&#039;ll just be run over by the &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump train...  :D</description>

<p><b>PRESIDENT</b> Trump brought down Unemployment for black and hispanic Americans to it's lowest point EVER...</p>
<p><b>PRESIDENT</b> Trump had the cojones to FINALLY put the US Embassy where it belongs, in Jerusalem... </p>
<p><b>PRESIDENT</b> Trump accomplished sooo much pro-America actions in his first term despite 24/7 headwinds of hate and bigotry from Democrats..  Imagine what <b>PRESIDENT</b> Trump could have accomplished if Democrats had actually gotten behind the MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN push...</p>
<p>But THIS term??  </p>
<p><b>PRESIDENT</b> Trump doesn't NEED Democrats because he's gotten a HUGE MANDATE from the American people..</p>
<p>So, FRAK woke progressive Democrats..</p>
<p>They'll just be run over by the <b>PRESIDENT</b> Trump train...  :D</p>

		<description>Hay Italy guy....

You were afraid that &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump is going to pull out of NATO??

NATO secretary general says European countries have to do &#039;much, much more&#039; to increase defense spending

President Donald Trump wants NATO members to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said European countries in the military alliance have agreed to step up their defense spending in the wake of President Donald Trump’s request that they increase the number to 5% of GDP.

&quot;Right now, we are spending $700 billion more on the European side of NATO than before President Trump came into office. It is absolutely still not enough. We have to do much, much more,&quot; Rutte said Monday in an exclusive interview on &quot;The Story.&quot;

&quot;The U.S. is by far the most important ally within NATO, but the U.S. is absolutely right that it is only fair that on the European side of NATO, we ramp up spending because we need to do it for our own defense. But also, because it is fair to get this balance with what the U.S. is spending on defense.&quot;

Looks like NATO is gonna get their shit together and is going to obey &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trumps orders..

So, don&#039;t worry at all...

The US will still be running NATO for a long LONG time to come..

Isn&#039;t it AWESOME that &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump is in charge!!!???   :D</description>

		<description>But let&#039;s get back to the Stoned Commenter and the Genocide Guy...

I am sensing a pattern with you two..

Ya&#039;all are ONLY happy here in Weigantia when 2025 CW commentaries are full of Trump/America hate and are ooozing with PTDS..

Apparently you two can ONLY be satisfied with gross and perverse hatred and bigotry and are whiney and bitchy  when there is even the SLIGHTEST bit of nothing but calm rational political discourse...

Which makes you two the quintessential woke progressive Democrat and makes you two unsuitable to be in public here in Weigantia...

So, why don&#039;t you two do EVERYONE a favor and follow 2025 CW&#039;s advice from a few days ago...

If ya&#039;all can&#039;t post something nice... Don&#039;t post nuttin&#039; at all..   :eyeroll:

Now if THAT&#039;S not as rich as rich can be, I dunno WHAT is, eh??  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Less-tragic (but still shocking), Ronald Reagan didn&#039;t die while in office, but he did survive an assassination attempt only 69 days after being sworn in -- which pushed his approval rating to a high point, as the country rallied around their wounded leader.&lt;/I&gt;

THAT sounds familiar, eh??  :D

I even remember where I was when Reagan was shot.. I was on patrol at Kadena AB in Okinawa.  I hadn&#039;t met my future lovely wife yet and it was around 0200 (give or take a few hours) on a midshift.  It came over the radio that the President had just been shot and, over the next few days, all hell broke loose..

It was a pretty exciting time..</description>

&lt;b&gt;To the majority of Hispanics who just couldn’t vote for a black woman:









Whitey convinced you to hate blacks because blacks are competing with y’all  for the scraps from whitey’s table. Congratulations, you just traded our country for the illusion of proximity to whiteness.</description>

		<description>A nice and very courteous attempt to give Trump some space at the beginning of his 2017 term. 

However, although history shows that &quot;...focus on the first days any president spends in office isn&#039;t really reflective of their overall performance...&quot;, in Trump&#039;s case it proved to be absolutely true: incompetence combined with bluster and brag in the first few weeks continued as incompetence combined with bluster and brag for the full four years. Among other consequences, we mourn hundreds of thousands of dead Americans during the COVID pandemic who might have lived had President Trump behaved at all sensibly and in line with every known protocol of public health.

And so, although I acknowledge the spirit of this repost, I reject it. We know who he is and how he governs, if it can even be called governing. And his first month in office is a disaster for the American republic, with every week proving worse for the future of the country we love. 

Why should it not get even worse, month to month and year to year, for the rest of this Republican administration&#039;s term? There is no doubt - and so no benefit of the doubt.</description>
