But governments deliver budgets, not salvation. And when it comes to budgets, politics always wins.

I don’t expect much. Just a batch of posturing by harridans like Senator Karen and spittle-flying from Joy Reid, Cenk Uygur, and the local activist retirees
As usual, the main thrust will be examining all Trump nominees down to their behavior in kindergarten. The bureaucracy won’t like any of them, so the full force of The State will be applied on this effort. The thing is, the only people who can change things are people disliked by gatekeepers, it’s unavoidable.
Assuming that the tide has turned and a certain amount of sanity is prevailing (and that we aren’t all speaking Chinese in 50 years), you do have to wonder what the history books of the future will show. Obama will be known only for his race (or half of it). The Bushes will become Jeopardy questions along with Coolidge. The last administration will be personified by a cross-dressing luggage-stealing lunatic as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Office of Nuclear Energy since his pictures are so damn funny.
In the meantime, the insane people will do their best to get RFKJr replaced by Maggie De Block since she more resembles them.

Since school boards, urban district attorneys, elections offices tend to be run by left-wing activists, a genius move on their party, you’ll see a bunch of skirmishes like this break out:
“Members of the Durango School District 9-R Board of Education on Tuesday indicated support for the drafting of a resolution that would back the display of the progress pride flag and the Black Lives Matter flag.
Such a resolution, if adopted, could allow Durango schools to display those symbols without opening the door to all political speech in schools or running afoul of constitutional protections of the right to free speech, was the general consensus of some board members.”

The problem in CA is if a local city or school district tries to become sane, the state lads quickly act to put the kibosh on it. See: Huntington Beach for voter ID. And there was some dustup at a school district – Temecula? And it was put in its place pronto.
But, yes – even in red Texas our daughter said the local school district had gone lefty-wacko because folks weren’t paying attention and there was finally an effort to wake the folks up to issues other than just national ones. I think most people hear about the insanity and assume it just couldn’t be happening where they live, but sadly it probably has.

There’s probably a folk tune in that somewhere.
“They have a different story about what “the military” thinks of Hegseth.”
I’ll bet. Institutional rot and oversupply of administrative generals is an old story with those situations. There’s a reason so many generals get fired after a real-deal war starts. The long-hanging fruit, so to speak, of transgender soldiers is hopefully dealt with pretty quickly. Maybe the thing to do is put together some sort of military-adjacent gigs to soften the landing. What I really want to see is the removal of women from combat arms, although the number is not huge. It’s probably also a no-brainer for ship duty, but will cause more uproar.
Once the military becomes a jobs program rather than a tribal endeavor for young men, you’ve got a problem.
Maybe all the fuss is temporary given mechanization.

Good picture though. I wonder how Team Blue would have fared if there were any (at all) Democratic politicians with a lick of stage presence and speaking ability. The Grift shines strong in Democrats at the national level.
It’s not clear to me if it’s just that K. Harris was a crummy candidate, the Trump campaign was better run generally, or if normal folks were just sick of the insane people. It isn’t like ‘activists’ have gone away (just go to a local city council meeting) but it sure seems as if all the commoners had just had enough.
