“Trump's vow to round up millions of immigrants and deport them in the largest deportation effort in U.S. history has industry groups that rely on...”

So, why have food prices been increasing at an ungodly rate?  Why has housing become less affordable and harder to find? The Biden administration allowed millions of illegal immigrants to remain in the United State.  Illegal immigration has captured attention in the news cycle since Joe Biden's...

How Democrats Lost Their Base and Their Message

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  8 Comments  •  4 Likes  •  3 months ago

“Donald Trump’s populist pitch bumped Democrats off their traditional place in American politics.”

As usual, the New York Times presents itself as being above it all.  Undeniably elitist and sublimely clueless. The Times dissection of the Democratic Party ignores the elephant sitting in the corner.  Donald Trump has transformed the Republican Party into the party of change.  What are...

The Resistance goes quiet

“Protests are unlikely to unseat Trump, but they could build momentum around "a specific policy outcome"”

The so called 'Resistance' even has a plausible psycho-babble excuse to hide its loss of coercive influence and growing irrelevance.  Donald Trump has been elected to act as the agent of disruptive change in society.  Trump has beaten the Resistance at their own game. A resistance group only...

Just how big was Donald Trump's election victory?

“The US president-elect has emphasised the scale of his win - but data shows that most voters picked someone else.”

Democrats invested in 3 weeks of voting, 2.5 weeks of vote counting, and over a billion dollars to achieve this result:  Donald Trump only received a plurality of votes and not a majority - by a fraction of a percentage point.  Democrats got their sought after headline in a news cycle dominated...

Who will turn the Democrats around?

“To regain their competitiveness, Democrats must reinvent themselves”

Democrats ain't Trump.  So, it must be Donald Trump's fault. Well, yes.  Yes, it is Donald Trump's fault.  Trump offered voters an alternative to the business-as-usual, kick-the-can politics that had been the mainstay of Boomer Democrats.  Trump changed the Republican Party while Democrats chose...

Ukraine's military says Russian ICBM strikes Dnipro, a claim denied by Western official

“Ukraine this week launched U.S.-made missiles at targets inside Russia.”

The unbiased liberal press is hard at it again.  Be afraid, be very afraid. Not long ago Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel - and - bragged about it.  That was a yawner for the unbiased liberal press.  Yet, that means Iran has the capability of striking targets 700 miles away...

Ukraine Fired U.S.-Made Missiles Into Russia for First Time, Officials Say

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  18 Comments  •  5 Likes  •  3 months ago

“The attack came just days after President Biden gave Ukraine permission to use the weapons to strike targets inside Russia.”

So, why aren't Democrats dancing in the streets?  Joe Biden can scapegoat North Korea (Kim made him do it) and escalate the war for the incoming administration.  Kiev can attack Moscow, Zelensky can attract more followers on social media, and Europe can ignore the thousands of miles of front line...

Marco Rubio: America's nominee for top diplomat, in his own words

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  25 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  3 months ago

“The Florida senator is considered a foreign policy "hawk" towards Iran as well as China.”

Whaddya expect from the BBC?  But the Eurocentric trees BBC is reporting on may hide a forest.  Marco Rubio as Sec. State may be a foreign affairs pivot to the Americas.  Will Trump establish a new 'Monroe doctrine'?

Donald Trump’s Pentagon pick sparks alarm — and scorn

“Pete Hegseth's nomination as head of the world's most powerful defence department has baffled Washington”

So, the Resistance doesn't die in darkness?  Looks like Trump knows how the bureaucracy protects itself.  Trump is proactively burning their bridges.

Matt Gaetz resigns ahead of key Ethics Committee meeting

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  16 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  3 months ago

“I think, out of deference to us, he issued his resignation letter — effectively immediately — from Congress”

Do the trees hide a forest?  Gaetz won't be threatening Mike Johnson's Speaker position or throwing wrenches into Johnson's legislative efforts.  Is Trump using appointments from the House to obtain more control over legislation?  Doesn't Mike Johnson owe Trump something now?
