[Did I miss any of our commenters noting the evil Democrats led by Bumblebrain handing out Social Security cards (numbers) to millions of illegal aliens over the last four years?  Most of these were also accompanied by drivers’ licenses and get-Medicare-free cards.  All this activity to bolster Democrat voter ranks was made public by DOGE and reported on Fox News.  In response the lamestream has broadcast the sound of silence.  gjr]

    They’re not your readers Paul Raymond. And I have refreshed the readers….I won’t again though because asking about why I post under a pseudonym is what you do whenever you’re caught flat footed about something and want desperately to discuss something else before further embarrassment ensues. A chickenshit’s way of changing the subject! You never ask anyone else (scenes etc.) why they post with pseudonyms!
    Not my fault that you’re a weasel Paul Raymond Emery!

    BeerBelly 7:18 – You poor moron. That spending was baked in long ago and there’s nothing Trump can do about it.
    I keep trying to explain to you leftys why the fed spending is out of control, but I guess the Trump-hate is all you want to occupy your time and attention.
    The funny thing is that the Trump haters are telling us that Trump and Company are “dismantling” the fed govt at the same time you’re jumping up and down about higher spending. Perhaps get your story straight and you’d appear to be somewhat intelligent.
    Let’s face it – we have a highly socialized fed govt that has promised the world to the citizens and a dwindling (per capita) tax base.
    The Dems’ current star attractions are running around the country telling everyone the “billionaires” have all the money we need to reach nirvana.
    As George has repeatedly pointed out – almost everyone in this country is numerically illiterate.
    We’re broke, folks – the cost of servicing our debt is chewing right through our national pocket.
    But throwing rocks at Trump is all the idiots like BeerBelly and Paul can come up with.
    Well, that and torching cars and shilling for illegal alien wife-beaters. That’s really going to help.

    The Autocratic Oligarchy at work…
    “The Trump administration is open to arresting Supreme Court judges, as White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told it on Monday morning.
    “You guys arrested a Milwaukee County Circuit judge for allegedly helping illegal immigrants get away,” Fox News’s Peter Doocy asked Leavitt. “As you guys look at other judges, would you ever arrest somebody higher up on the judicial food chain, like a federal judge or even a Supreme Court justice?”
    “That’s a hypothetical question, again I defer you to the Department of Justice for individuals that they are looking at or individual cases. But let’s be clear about what this judge did: She obstructed federal law enforcement who were looking for an illegal alien in her courthouse. She showed that illegal alien the door to evade law enforcement officials. That is a clear-cut case of obstruction,” Leavitt replied.
    “And so anyone who is breaking the law or obstructing federal law enforcement officials from doing their jobs is putting theirselves at risk of being prosecuted, absolutely.”
    The Department of Justice on Friday arrested Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan, on charges of obstruction after she allegedly “intentionally misdirected federal agents away” from Eduardo Flores Ruiz, an undocumented immigrant. He was later arrested outside the courthouse.
    The Trump administration is showing open and direct hostility toward the judicial branch, identifying any judge who dares to defy them as an “activist judge.” The arrest of Judge Dugan, the numerous court orders ignored by the administration, the eight immigration judges who have now been fired or put on leave, and now, Leavitt’s alarming answer are all clear indications that Trump has no plans to reel back his abuse of executive power.”

    Not even close. The left has “identified” judges they don’t like for years – so what if Trump does? Total nothing-burger.
    Trump’s justice dept arrested a judge for knowingly and deliberately breaking federal law. That’s what happens to people who break the law – they get arrested.
    The judges who were fired were on probation and can be let go for any reason – nothing evil or illegal there.
    I do recall way back a long time ago a POTUS named Biden who was ordered by the SCOTUS to stop cancelling student loans and he said he was going to do it anyway.
    The left appears to have the view that judges (including the highest court) are free to break our nation’s laws – a fascinating idea – but totally wrong.

    “What makes the Judge Hannah Dugan case doubly shocking is the fact these domestic violence victims were in fear for their lives about testifying because they’re terrified both the defendant and his friends will either assault or even kill them, to the point where they are demanding anonymity in this case, the media doesn’t know their names, the records show.
    Judges know it’s extremely hard to get victims to testify in domestic abuse cases, due to dangerously high recidivism rates and the fact these cases too often end in death. That she is accused of letting him escape through the jury door in front of them, and he’s now at large, has put their lives at risk.
    The victims in the Eduardo Flores-Ruiz domestic battery case were his roommates at a residence in Milwaukee. The incident occurred on March 12, 2025, during a dispute over loud music.
    Flores-Ruiz is accused of wildly and uncontrollably punching a victim approximately 30 times during a violent altercation, almost beating him to death to the point where he had to be hospitalized.
    Flores-Ruiz—a Mexican national who had previously been deported in 2013—also punched the roommate’s girlfriend in the head and arm and shoved her so hard, she collapsed to the ground in the kitchen.
    Judge Dugan knew these details. Why did she help him
    escape? Why aren’t Democrats and the media talking about the victims and these details?”

    No sabe, off the road –
    President Donald Trump and I will be taking steps to rescind Obama-era rules to treat English as a second language on the road.
    Federal law is clear, a driver who cannot sufficiently read or speak English—our native language—and understand road signs is unqualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle in America. However, President Obama sacrificed driver safety when he lowered the penalty for violators of the English proficiency rule on the road.
    This language requirement is in place for obvious reasons. Drivers, especially operators of heavy vehicles, need to understand critical traffic information like warnings for steep grades or dangerous conditions. Commercial drivers must also communicate effectively during essential inspections or emergencies and interact safely with law enforcement. This isn’t complicated. It’s basic common sense. Americans should not be forced to share the road with illiterate truck drivers. Allowing anyone unable to read a stop sign or understand a police officer to operate trucks weighing up to 80,000 pounds directly threatens the safety of both your family and mine.

    Check these numbers out.
    “Wednesday will mark Trump’s first 100 days in his second term and according to a poll from Washington Post-ABC News Ipsos, his approval rating is 39%, reportedly the lowest for a president in his first 100 days since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s third term. Americans gave Trump about a 38% approval rating on the economy, and Rove said there is “deep-seated skepticism among ordinary Americans” regarding the economy.
    According to a Fox News poll, Americans rated Trump the lowest when it came to inflation (33% approval), tariffs (33% approval), foreign policy (40% approval), taxes (38% approval) and guns (41% approval).
