Shutdown backfires on Democrats; Unlike Obama, Trump is delivering hard, smoking pitches up and inside.
Trump gamed the government shutdown out well in advance of the 2024 election. He figured a way to use the Kabuki theater of a shutdown to actually shut the government down. No one has done that before.
Dems swing at Trump, hit themselves
Rahm Emanuel gave the world a simple truth about politics when he wrote, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”
Trump’s war and peace
As readers know, on Monday President Trump presented a peace plan to end the FAFO War in Gaza. The nations endorsing Trump’s plan include eight Muslim nations. Iran’s terrorist arm, Hamas, is thinking things over.
Trump Tower vs. Obama Library; Capitalism defeats communism once again.
The tale of two buildings in Chicago says more about American politics than anything.

Food stamp cheating states; The feds pay $6.5 billion to states who in turn have an 11% error rate.
Dollar General and just about any other store accepts them. The healthy stuff is in the back. The chata chips and sodas are in the front. They call them convenience stores for a reason. Imagine having to walk all the way to the back of the store to get the day’s supply of empty calories.
Charlie’s job was bigger than President
By all accounts Charlie Kirk lived the porecpts of Matthew 5: 3-12. Everyone seems to put his mission in terms of politics. Certainly he was as MAGA as they come. And many said he could have been president someday.

Another week and like clockwork, the leftist continue to provide great material for the ascerbic wit of Don Surber to lampoon

Trump’s law-and-order tour headed for Memphis

We are all Charlie’s Angels
Last week, the exorcism began with the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk. In life, he was big among young Americans. In death, he became a world hero. Church attendance was up on Sunday as people turned to Jesus for guidance.
What’s in it for us? My guess is the USA gets access to Russian rare earth minerals
The summit in Alaska was a success regardless of what happens today. The end of the Ukraine War is pretty simple. Russia keeps the land it stole, Zelensky saves a little face and Democrats (who gave away Afghanistan) will call Trump names and the right will defend him. This already has begun.
